What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

I played Rayman Jungle Run, and it was fun, but I got bored with it for the same reasons that I was frustrated with Mario Run. I just don't like mobile games.

Rayman adventures you can actually change direction. And you don't need to pay for anything.

Getting a playstation 4 for Christmas helped make up for getting a stomach bug and spending most of it on the can. What games are good?

Thanks, looks cool athough potentially like Myst, which I am ashamed to say I never had the patience to play.

So, I've never been a big fan of the Myst/Riven series because I get too frustrated not knowing exactly what causes what to happen. It's all a bunch of "pull this lever and see if you can figure out what happened because fuck if I know". There's no easy way to sell The Witness because you're basically solving the same puzzle 600-700 times. But the game is absolutely brilliant. It is so well thought out and must have been play tested to death because the way it slowly unravels the puzzles and explains the puzzles without ever saying a word is amazing. It is without a doubt on my Top 5 of 2016.

end of year is a good time to look at all the end of year lists and go 'oh fuck i totally wanna play this game thats appearing on everybodys end of year lists'. 

picked up Thumper and Uncharted 4 recently. 

Uncharted 4 is so good. was skeptical and bored at first during first couple chapters but once the momentum starts picking up and the foundations have been laid out for the story to get going ... ohhh boy this is some 10/10 shit so far. the graphics are probably the first thing worth mentioning. SO GOOD. + the pacing of action shooty moments versus slower moments is a lot better this time around. always loved Uncharted/The Last of Us but found the actual gameplay pretty boring, so i think they're doing some pretty clever things here improving the pacing pretty perfectly it seems (ignoring the slow introduction to the game). 

also, THUMPER. it's pretty much like someone was looking at the draft7.30 CD cardboard cards, or was playing alot of audiosurf with Autechre music playing and figured ' this should be a game '. bit bland imo in regards to the gameplay. it feels demanding but it's so super generous with the number of buttons you actually need to press + super generous checkpoints. but it's more about the visuals and the music and how the overall package creates this crazy psychedelic mood that just fees like some hardcore trippy nightmare. 

i've finally gotten into a bit of overwatch. it's kind of fun but i'm still not that great at it. other than that i'm like ~25 hours into ffxv. some things i like about it a good bit and others i really hate. at this point i'm too invested in it not to finish the main story but good lord the load times/travel distances make it such a slog

Been playing the reboot of Ratchet and Clank, picked it up for cheap over Black Friday... Great game, nothing too difficult just good fun, and a light sense of humor.

Pokémon Moon is the most fun I've had playing a Pokémon game since Silver. Love the more open-world style free range feel. UI upgrades are ace and a fine selection of 'mons to choose from. Haven't even left the first island yet.

Fallout 2. is still goot.

Speaking of fallout, I finally finished New Vegas. Good game. I gave the NCR the boot, free Vegas all the way baby. Ending felt anticlimactic and it's a shame they don't let you keep playing when the main plot is done, but I'm pretty sure I hit most of the side quests. That Explorer perk really helps.

Also finished Life is Strange after ignoring it for over a year. So many feels.

ALSO! The Mad Max game is damn good fun. Repetitive, but I loved every minute of it. Recommended.

Played & finished Kane & Lynch 2 with a buddy, was fun and enjoyably nihilistic / pointless plotwise. Now we're digging into Borderlands 2, this being my third time restarting from the beginning. But it's so fun I do not mind at all.

Also so many games bought in the Xmas sales on Steam. Now to find time to play the things.

^ Bech, BL2 is one of the only games (ever) that I can just play over and over again. It's a ton of fun, I think I've finished it 3 or 4 times.

I can't wait for BL3 someday =O

bah, nearing the end of my first playthrough of BL2, probably won't finish it, just feels like work imo

I've been really reasonable during those Steam sales, caved in yesterday and bought Axiom Verge, not found of the art direction from the screenshots/videos I've seen but maybe it will "click" when I will play.

Also nearing the 300 hours mark on BoI Afterbirth...Really hyped for the new DLC to come out, trying hard to unlock the Lost and Keeper achievements but god damn is it hard.

the Fallout series has some of the greatest lore ever devised for a game universe. I haven't gotten tired of it in all the years I've been playing the games.

edit: also it only just struck me how much this track off the FO1/2/NV soundtrack

sounds like Grass from SAW1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBU3uAzRejs

it's practically a tweaked version of Grass.

holy hell the last half of xv moves really fast. think i'm going to finish the main story today...

Still bouncing back between Fallout 4 on PC and Fallout Shelter on Android. Underrail though seems to greatly resemble the first two Fallouts. Bought it over a year ago and still haven't played it yet. lol

Looks like for 2017 we'll finally get Routine in March. And Night Dive Studios' remaster of the first System Shock at the end of the year. And hopefully Star Citizen, which I hear has been in development since 2008.

Just finished Firewatch in one sitting. Beautiful, beautiful game! And the voice acting was wonderful!

new binding of isaac just dropped. first thing i did was take a pill called 'im excited'' which sped up enemies a shittonne and i got wiped out on the first floor. off to a good start.

Zelda sounds like it's back on track for a March launch on Switch, maybe the multi language EU port could be delayed for localization.

The mrs got me a ps4 for krimbo, god bless her

Been playing Ratchet & Clank, always good fun. Gonna pick up TLOU and Uncharted 4 on my next trip into town. Any other PS exclusive recommendations?
