What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Playstation, otherwise I'd have been all up in that console like it was a cheap brass.

Have been playing nothing but Fallout: New Vegas. Feels like there's more secrets in it compared to 3. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

Back on the Street Fighter grind once the update comes out.

Amazon Japan will now allow you to purchase and ship games internationally! Must be shipped and sold by Amazon, but that opens up the import market for a lot of folks who are wary of online retailers importing games.

Is Final Fantasy X:2 the most camp game ever? Playing the HD remaster right now. Combat and character development are both p lush at least.

yes and i love it ... so japanese

 

I recently finished replaying X, but X-2 just seems too bizarre for me.

I have erotic stirring for rikku

This is interesting me more, but I guess if you DO ever run into another player, you should stick together as long as possible.

Yeah I'm still eager for NMS, which I already pre-ordered last week. I'm curious how many gigs it's gonna be to download.

Doing another XCOM 2 run-through after beating it over a week ago, because I'd like to beef up my hacking skills on my Specialists and also train up some Psi-Ops units, (neither of which I did last time) in order to take control of robotic and organic enemies on missions respectively. Seizing a Sectopod is one of my main goals.

The Division has been reduced to waiting in line to use the laptop LOL

That video is for what to do when a full vampire - doesn't need any neck eating !

 

But the bloke just attacks me otherwise, this is bullshit. Where do you live? Come round to mine and fix this!

Hah yeah, it's crazy how only one person can use laptops and the like at a time, not sure what they were thinking with that.

With regards to laptop queues and griefers, just relog and you'll be put in a new instance, hopefully free of either or both.

Really enjoying the full game of The Division so far. Pretty solid combat, I like all the different abilities and mods to change up playstyles and working with your team. Looking forward to what the end game has to offer, and getting stuck in to the dark zone. Exploration is great too, it's often much more fun wandering to incidents, side missions, and loot, than having it on your map.

My biggest complaint is probably things like the writing, story etc - it's all very cheesy and B movie. I haven't read any Tom Clancy so I don't know if this is the norm but I was hoping for something a little more sophisticated regarding a post disaster New York/North America. The NPC chatter and main character dialogue is completely inane too.

To me, it comes off as a French company trying to write American dialogue, and only having seen Michael Bay movies to go by.

3DNes emulator making the video gaming news rounds lately..

looks incredible (albeit super buggy and half broken half the time).

with megaman, some of the better looking games, it almost looks like a fan made 3D diorama or something. to think it's actually an emulator processing a rom is so craazy.

sfv first character and march update details (no date though): http://www.capcom-unity.com/haunts/blog/2016/03/10/new-character-alex-and-sfv-update-details

seems like they're still planning to launch the challenges, trials and multiperson lobbies this month still. love the idea of quick rematch for ranked games. seems like they're trying to eliminate the weird crouch tech option select and some of the bugs too. i seriously doubt they'll launch the patch before final round which is next weekend. registered for t7, ttt2 and sfv. fingers crossed i don't go 0-2 in anything. first year i've registered for multiple games. not expecting to do too great in tekken though as i've hardly played since this time last year

anyways this game is really fuckin' fun. only thing i'm playing right now

We need to spar once the update comes out, maybe I'll learn something from the upcoming trials.

Subnautica is fun, despite me suffering from sea sickness in real life.

Built my first sub!

I called it the Deepass DSV

Got Rise of the Tomb Raider for around 40% off the other day for PC. Gotta finish Tomb Raider first. I refuse to pay full price for new games these days. I may not even buy Uncharted 4 on day 1 at this point. So I'm glad to have found RotTR for such a great early deal.

Tried Heroes of the Storm for a little bit. It's pretty entertaining. I only really play whenever my WoW guildies are. Screw playing without friends.

Eagerly awaiting the release of the Fallout 4 DLC. Hopefully my graphics mods will all be fine on day 1.

I grabbed Arkham Origins and Arkham Knight for super cheap for Steam too. Arkham City was the last one I played. I loved those games.

superhot - only a little way in but loving it so far, cool concept pretty well executed

far cry primal - hasn't grabbed me like previous far cries yet but i have a feeling i'll sink a lot more time into it, its got atmosphere at least

the witcher 3 - was on my backlog for a long time and only got around to playing it over the last few weeks - loving it, shouldn't have waited this long, I love running around the woods in a windy thunderstorm killing beasties, mostly good sometimes excellent writing too, hardly any dull quests - favourite rpg in a long time

xcom 2 - suspended playing this til they fix the performance with a patch, but I can see myself replaying this alot

Assault Android Cactus is great fun

Jesus, Dark Souls 3 will apparently take 50GB of hard drive space. First one took 4.

I'm amaze.

PS : Well I just read that Bloodborne took 41, so it's maybe not that extraordinary in this day and age. But still, that content...

Apparently, the motion controls are mandatory and can't be switched off. This game seems DOA to me, even for Wii U owners. No way I would put money down on another 1st party Wii U game, knowing most games will be ported or reissued on NX.

That's a pretty big assumption, no? I don't see Smash 4 being ported, let alone a smaller title like this. I think Zelda will be the only one (if that turns out to be true) just because of when it comes out versus the NX supposed release date of this Christmas.

If the rumours of the NX being more PC-like aka the XBONE and PS4 and possibly not having a second screen in the controller, porting games like this would be expensive and possibly not worth the costs versus releasing a sequel or "NX-enhanced" version with NX-specific features.

Raiden V for XBONE is now available in Japan, and being region-free, can be imported. It is said it will come out domestically, and is an XBONE exclusive (for how long though)?

That's an interesting point, but consider how many Wii U owners have sold their consoles at this point? Is the years and money invested in Star Fox worth the return they will make on people who will keep their Wii U past E3, when NX is announced, and then the trade in programs like GameStop that will happen in the Fall leading up to its release. And a Smash Bros "remaster" is already rumored to be a launch title, so I can see them wanting to come out of the gate strong this year, before they've had much of a chance to start NX first party software development, bc so much of their resources have been dedicated to getting SF and Zelda Wii U out the door before the end of the year.

We shall see, it could also benefit from a strong Virtual Console launch lineup, like SNES, GBA and GameCube titles.
