What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Bioshock Infinite, four years later.

I recall Salvatorin saying something right after the election about America today resembling it. Talk about a retro-prophecy..

"Psst. I'm not one of them. I'm a Progressive."

I never imagined meeting that one dude hiding in the lower level of the Lansdowne residence would have such profound symbolism.

I think the entire point of this "game" is to embarrass you in front of everyone you know so they can blackmail you for life.

Edit: it would be funny to watch two people play 1, 2 Switch while they're tripping. Again, blackmail em.

Just started The Witcher, hoping for something like Skyrim but the controls feel quite arcade-y, maybe I'll get used to it.

You'll get used to it. And once you've gotten used to it and the fighting you'll love it. By the way, when you reach the mission called "Bloody Baron" then don't accept it until you've reached level 10 or something like that.

*jots it down*

man I love the witcher 3 so much. I'm currently playing the final expansion and im worried its going to end and i'll have nothing quite as good to play (although maybe I should try dark souls again)

im not entirely sure the logic of that suggestion, if i remember rightly i did it at level 6, but was kind of levelling up on side quest concurrently.

Because if you follow the Baron up to where the *THING* is you won't be able to back out of it.

Oblivion.

After finishing skyrim for the hundredth time, I'm going to start Shivering Isles for the first time. I've heard good things.

BoxBoxBoy is so damn good, I wonder if they'll put out the 3rd game on 3DS in the West, or do some kind of compilation re-release on Switch, or both?

some 1-2 switch news for everyone out there interested in picking this up (which i'm guessing is potentially noone?).

has 28 games in total, demo vids have been uploaded to nintendo channel https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/5sqv7f/all_1_2_switch_minigame_videos_have_been_uploaded/

For Honor open beta runs through Feb 12th. 28 GB download on PSN!

I had a go at that last week, they did a small release of a few of the game modes but I presume this'll be bigger. I'm gonna give it a go, it's got potential.

For Honor beta RULES!! Must buy!

is anyone gonna pick up Stardew Valley for consoles?

There will be an online demo for Splatoon 2 from March 24-26 for Switch buyers.  hype

Zelda Breath of the Wild is already getting a $20 season pass with two updates, Summer 2017 and then Winter. First one seems mostly cosmetic, while update 2 will feature a new story. Not sure about this...

wow thumper and no man's sky both fucking sucked. esp thumper because other people seem to like it. what a disappointment that was -- why not just play amplitude? the PS4 one or the PS2 one

*fires up PS2*

Nintendo is Nintendo.

First one is purely fucking cosmetic beyond the "Cave of Trials", which if it's anything like the Twilight Princess DLC they had for the Wii U remake it won't have taken them much effort to put into the game. It's just so they can say they put out something - the second DLC is what you're really paying 20.00 USD for. Pisses me off too that you cannot "buy them separately", which would probably warrant a much lower price for each.

I guess we should be happy at least they are trying to modernize...

like the worst possible incarnation of modernization so... yeah... no. not happy about it ;p

cancelled my switch order. going to cancel zelda preorder. too much stuff to play anyways. stuff i'd rather spend money on too

I was thinking one of the new bad guy Amiibo would unlock hard mode anyway, 16 days til this game and system release and we have no idea wtf these new figures will do, what the eShop and Virtual Console will be like, what will be available on day 1, will there be a massive firmware update (probly yeah). C'mon, they should have learned more from the Wii U launch.

Btw - Tomorrow Corporation confirmed their games can be played with touchscreen or pointer controls, suggesting other games can follow the same.

Yeah, this, exactly this. I was really happy about Nintendo not following this shitty marketing path with their biggest games but a Zelda having DLCs is somehow heartbreaking.

Like, you just want to buy a game the old fashioned way, as you did when you first played a Zelda game but no, fuck you and your inner child and put some money on the table. Very sad.

There's nothing wrong with DLC. Nintendo are just handling it badly. For once.
