What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Played Overcooked with the girlfriend, fab game, incredibly easy to pick up, the skill is in coordination and communication, there are only a few levels that have some tricky movement involved. I had forgotten how fun coop and party games were.

It needs to come with graph paper, do you know how tough it is to find graph paper if you're not on a school campus? My engineering dept. had jack shit, and I had to import it from Amazon, lol

Nah you definitely can get by with normal paper (or in my case MS Paint) - Made it to the 'super hard' optional section and never found a lack of graph paper to be a hindrance.

I used a sketchbook which is still sitting by the television...

 

Been playing LUMINES on iOS (so fun), and also I think I am addicted to Sky Force on PS4, and Sky Force Reloaded on iOS - I'm a sucker for shoot-em'-ups...

wtf happened to this series?? It's like a bad Fatal Frame FPS mixed with a terrible Rob Zombie movie

 

I have a feeling it's going to be fun. Sorry!

The Witness is already doing my head in. What the fuck is up with that red puzzle on top of that building that comes right after the puzzle that is a 3-in-1 puzzle?! Does it have something to do with the tree?

Most simultaneously infuriating and rewarding game I've ever played. My living room looked like some close encounters shit by the time I was done with it

I splurged a bit and built a new gaming rig to pretty much be able to play NMS. And it's fucking awesome! It's exactly what I expected and more. I warped to a planet with all these giant root-like rock formations covering the globe. It's spectacular.

you'd have to be way more specific, post a screenshot maybe

 

but yeah some puzzles require thinking outside of the box a tad

My girlfriend and I were staring at this puzzle and the surrounding environment for 2 hours last night. My girlfriend fell asleep, I got angry, and then I went on to another puzzle, but I fucking HATE leaving things behind. If I start something I NEED to finish it. Also, I was having a bad fucking day and today isn't much better...

 

 

So, it's obvious that the shadow from the tree plays a big role in this puzzle and I've tried drawing the rest of the branch on a piece of paper and then adapt that to the puzzle, but it doesn't work

Aaaahhhaaa, maybe some puzzles need to be approached from a different angle. Perhaps take a step away from it, take a deep breath and turn back and view it in a new light...

 

(trying to be as cryptic as possible as the solutions when you solve them entirely yourself make your tummy do good magical things)

one thing with the witness, due to the open nature of being able to do different puzzles in your own order .. it's possible sometimes to leave a puzzle. do other puzzles and figure out a new 'rule'. come back, and the abandoned puzzle is 100x easier. 

 

other times its just cos you're literally being an idiot and can't figure it out despite answer being obviously infront of you :^)

Yeah I know that feeling. As bitroast said however, best to come back to it later.

 

Hopefully that completionist itch doesn't drive you too nuts, there is one aspect of the game you'll stumble upon that adds a whole dimension of stuff to do and figure out.

I know. And I don't want the solution to the puzzle. I just need a vague hint. But not right now... I'll give it another shot tonight and see what happens.

My post was a hint (albeit one that probably only makes sense after you've worked out the solution !)

uuuuuuugh. having to skim the thread now for fear of witness spoilers again. prob not gonna purchase until ~$10 as i have too much shit to play

Rez: Infinite on PSVR is getting high praise from the journalists...

I just finished the remake of the PS2 game Odin Sphere that was now released on PS4.

Sidescrolling Action/RPG by Vanillaware with beautiful hand drawn animation and a really cool story.
There is a PS4 demo on the store. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Looks good. We had a lot of COD4 players on here when this originally released, although I don't think we will ever top the number of watmmers on Halo 3 when it launched back in the day, lol

 

Mad Max is fun as hell. super well optimized too, my old rig is having no trouble with it. fuck yeah. $10 on steam right now.

Don't worry, nothing will be spoiled at all and no answers will be given.

I solved a bunch of other puzzles in the meantime (the labyrinth ones) and now I'm back to staring at the one I mentioned. Still nothing.

Wait, are you sure the hint you gave me wasn't for the puzzle that comes right before this one?

Nah you got this, you just need a fresh perspective
