What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Now starting The Phantom Pain. I hear this will take a while. 

The stories (and characters) for these games are so stupid, but I loved the gameplay from Guns of the Patriots.

just finished The Last Of Us.  The remastered version came with the DLC so that's next, but that was pretty damn good.

The DLC is great. Try the multiplayer too if you haven't already. It's very stealth/survival based as you can imagine, great fun!

Getting back into Danmaku Unlimited 2, bullet hell shmup. The djent soundtrack is wicked. I tried streaming this game but turns out all those bullets turn into mush through a compressed video stream.

nintendo discontinues the nes classic edition

Nintendo are some greedy fuckers, eh?

Watch - SNES Classic will be out, or they'll release the same NES Classic, this time with 30 different games on it.

Rumours are a certain third-party licensee didn't like the fact Nintendo was selling these like hotcakes and wanted a bigger cut of the pie. So, Nintendo hastily pulled it from the market to avoid having to potentially pay more to the licensee.

Another is they are so worried about piracy (this thing is really easy to hack and put 90+ games on it), they decided it wasn't worth keeping in production.

i hope they don't take everyone's cellphones and computers away. that would be bad

yeah, i heard this one too, but what really salts my meat is that it was supposed to be widely available by christmas. that hack didn't come out until (2?) months ago. also, for someone to mod the mini nes classic, one has to buy it first. but now, they can just download the roms and put them on a raspberry pi or a PC (which has been possible for years). 

imo this wasn't just for the games- it was to have a nice collectable toy that brought back the nostalgia of paying the original system. 

They also needed something to push for holiday 2016 after Switch was delayed til Spring, this seemed like a stop-gap measure that took on a life of its own, it became way more popular than they expected, or maybe wanted. I think the lack of Virtual Console news was directly tied to this retro console.

Where was this segment in the Nintendo Direct? Lol, I guess if they made a Switch game promoting jacking off cocks, why not do one about squeezing titties?

lol at the lady squeezing balloons when of course she should just be squeezing her own breasts?

Finished Dying Light, really enjoyed it but wish you didn't become so powerful as you level up. The game was at its best when your hiding on the top of a building trying to escape the zombies waiting below.

REALLY NINTENDO?! discontinues feels like a loaded word for something that's barely been available. I have a few friends who never got theirs because of supply issues, and now they probably won't get theirs.

Surely nintendo knows that it's doing well and they're, like Joyrex said, gonna re-release it with either different games, or hopefully MORE games. Maybe one that can play cartridges, and cartridges that come available with 10+ different games on them? That would be something worth buying. I'd probably jump on that. It would feel like the old systems are out again. They won't though... and it's confusing why since it would only make them more money. People would be all over that system and however many cartridges there would be. maybe make 40 different cartridges with 10 games on them. It would be fun to collect them.

I'm still confused as to why they only included 30 games when someone could easily search a ROM site for absolutely any game that was available for the NES...for free.

They're just leaving money on the table. I would gladly pay for a system that could download the original game at an affordable price.

Every business decision Nintendo makes these past few years I feel like I've just read a cryptic crossword clue from The Times newspaper. Like the words seem to be in some sort of syntactical semblance but the meaning is utterly baffling.

Planned increment "classic console" releases, and/or playing it safe with low licensing costs for only 30 games, and under producing units. The burn of Wii U set them into even more conservative mode, so every dollar counts. Also, killing off a rival console in their own company lets them focus on selling Switches, working out their VC, and the online chat app we haven't heard shit about in months.

Apparently, Zelda for Switch sold 925,000 copies in NA in March, while Switch sold 906,000 units in NA, meaning some people bought the game twice, maybe one of the special editions to keep MIB? Strange.

You don't usually see an attach rate of over 100% for a launch title, and this excludes the Wii U copies sold.

Nintendo in 2017.

enjoying Graceful Explosion Machine, kind of a chillax Gradius/Defender

yeah I'm one of those extra. bought the game but cancelled my console preorder. will probably just grip the iso and toss it in cemu.

- titanfall 2 again

the titanfalls are underappreciated

My time with Darkest Dungeon is the opposite of this guy:

I haven't played video games in about three years, but a month ago or so I started playing the binding of isaac and I already have 234 hours on it... bloody amazing game

edit: learning to binge on games (& other obsessions) and do well as a student is a true artform 

If you bought physical copies of Rez Infinite, iam8bit is sending out free holographic game covers, and new buyers get them with the subsequent printings.
