What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

It's fairly typical looking yet all those gaudy colors also hurt my eyes

Installing Red Dead Redemption on my Xbox One now.

Shovel Knight is great if you like retro platformers. The soundtrack is awesome too.

I've been playing too much Overwatch on pc. Random matches are usually ok and playing with friends with headseats etc. is always fun.

For some reason I bought a bunch of Assassins Creed games from the steam sales. I had played ACII before so I got the rest of the Ezio games + IV and Syndicate.

It's not the best franchise ever but for some reason I enjoy it. ACII is a classic anyway.

I also need to get back to Mass Effect. I just got distracted at some point and forgot about it.

Also, I've been playing a bit of Dropsy. Nice point 'n' click stuff but kinda distrurbing.

Just finished Inside. One of the best games I've played in years. Fantastic visual and sound design, beautiful soundtrack, amazing character animations and what an astounding ending.

got back to crusader kings 2. after gavelkind succession fucked me over for the 50th time i let out such a loud "bljjjjaaaat'!!!" scream (fuck in russian) that i heard it reverbate in the neighborhood for a couple secs. probably my most favorite game ever.

Fucking Pokemon Go - went to the park for a walk and there were about 50-60 teens/young adults all playing it...

insane. i have dled it but it basically doesn't work. i've caught 2 or 3 in my house but that's it.

Incredibly, Nintendo's stock value has risen up to 11 billion USD since launch and is on 5% of all Android smartphones, rivaling dating app Tinder, and matching Twitter's daily usage.

I bet Nintendo's gonna start making a whole lot of smartphone games now because of this (for better or worse), but highly unlikely any will reach this level. It will be interesting to see how long this phenomenon lasts...

Been playing an awful lot of Nuclear Throne lately, this game is really amazing is you're into rogue-likes/shooters. Took me 22 hours to achieve a run but it was totally worth it !

Apparently, Pokémon Go has been downloaded and installed five times more than the Tinder app has in 5 years... or something like that. It's insane! I want it so badly so I can see what the fuzz is all about

On PC or PS4? Sadly the PS4 version has been left behind the PC one in terms of patches...

PC ! Yet I would love playing that game with a controller in hand - the PC version really lacks gamepad support (well, except if you have the Xbox controller). Sadly, it seems as if every game developped with GameMaker doesn't support other controller than those ones.

Speaking of controllers, what would you recommand me ? I heard the Steam Controller was pretty shitty yet it makes me extremely curious ! Anybody has one here ?

I'm not a member of the PC Master Race™, so I'll let someone provide you the 511-page instructions for adding a controller to your spreadsheet-processing-machine-moonlighting-as-a-game-console...

Ha ! I don't feel like belonging to the PC master race as well (mostly because I only have a macbook pro which isn't that great for gaming purposes), but the thing is, I invested on a Wii U rather than a PS4...Yeah, yeah, I know !

Quality Visual Novel

DOWNWELL

just got to the boss. this game is absurdly fun

!! couldn't agree more.

very on point game design.

the drop feed style of learning game mechanics (learning how to shoot and time falling properly ... learning about double jump ... learning about combos ... learning about wall jump) means you can just keep playing the same levels without ever feeling the burn of the levels getting boring or anything. managed to beat the boss but there's still plenty to play around with once you do that :):)

Just backed Nightdive's Kickstarter campaign for the System Shock reboot.

Having played the original 1994 SShock (as well as SShock 2), I'm pretty stoked. Looks like it won't be available til December 2017 though.

What?

System Shock is an old first person RPG from '94 made by Warren Spector, I think (the guy who did Deus Ex and Ultima. System Shock 2 was made by Ken Levine (BioShock). System Shock 2 was highly praised so now someone is remaking it (or maybe it's the first one, I dunno).

My understanding is that it's Nightdive's remaster of SShock 1. I can personally confirm this because in the 1994 original it was pretty much the same sequence...waking up in a sickbay on Citadel station, and the first moving thing to greet you is that hostile robot that looks sorta like Tom Servo.

This vid does a pretty good job of comparing the old and the new. But you might wanna skip to 0:10 if you don't wanna sit thru the bullshit intro.

If it bears any kind of resemblance to the Bioshock games, it's no coincidence. The original SShock 1 is the spiritual genesis.
