What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

you probably done some shrine quests which reveal buried shrines? - there's quite a few of these and some of them are just incredibly obscure... some normal shrines are also pretty well hidden.. basically the DLC gives you this path thing where you can see your entire route through the world. Scanned some locations where I hadn't explored a lot earlier.. and then sat down with the guide book to find the last 10 or so.. would have never found these on my own.

Kakoriko village shrine quest:

in any case if you beat them all you can go so,e place and get a thing, which, yea guess what it's just another thing. And to upgrade it you have to get certain things which aren't very easy to get so it goes on and on and on.

Made a new character in Bloodborne, I was stuck in Old Hunters DLC NG+.  It's such a joy to play-through again, and looking forward to the DLC on normal.

 

I have also been playing the Diablo 3 Necromancer DLC for a few days.  Necromancer is OP, and I'm thinking will get nerfed before the next season starts on July 20th.  For now it is extremely satisfying hack'n'slash madness.

Old Hunters area was so difficult at first. I remember it easing up but I think it was only because I switched to a more powerful character after failing miserably on a low level guy. I need to go back through the game with a fresh character this year, I bet it's so much fun

Kakoriko village shrine quest:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

been to the forest where the fairy is, near kakoriko village? There's an orange pedestal thing near there. I knew there was a shrine there but absolutely NEVER would have figured this one out... gotta do a trivial but somewhat hidden side quest in the village as a precondition..

dang I thought I was better at crash than this....

apparently it's not you, someone figured the new rounded hitboxes makes the game a little trickier

Typically I really don't care about sales figures but this list of top selling games and consoles in Japan was surprising

I've been trying to avoid looking at this game because from the little I saw right before it came out, I think it's up my alley. So y'all need to shut up with talking good about it, unless it's damned cheap suddenly or something 

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

All I know is that a developer said it was comparable to a good computer with a 1070gtx, which made me even more interested in it

if only it ran steam games

maybe someone will hack win10 pro onto it and i'll get one

Sony today announced they were releasing their games on PC also. Seems the game companies want to open up the market. Wonder if we will ever see Sony or Microsoft release similar apps for rival consoles? Could happen, then it wouldn't matter which hardware you bought, standardise the games market like film and music.

Some people have been moaning about the price, I don't think Scorpio is aimed at these people. Some people are happy spending $500 on a new graphics card which is the same cost as a whole console capable of 4k gaming. Gonna be interesting. I haven't bought into this gen yet, too many FPS and as I am slightly older now, gaming is not the same, when I could be out walking, drinking tea, eating carrot cake or reading. I've got a capable laptop that can play games but yet to try it out fully.

Oh, but hasn't that been possible for quite some time by now?

EDIT: I just double-checked and it's just the PS4 Remote Play

anyone have any recommendations for vita games?

a mate is playing Persona 4 on his vita. put fucking hours into it.

vita exclusive? not really. but it was a great portable for playing indies that ended up on ps3/steam. both of the olli olli games were really fun. rogue legacy. shovel knight. it's a really great platform for old school 2d gaming. i'm sure there's tonnes i'm forgetting but i'd have to dig it out and boot it up to see what all i've got on there.

 

thx! I ended up sayin' f'it and just replayed Dragon's Crown. Found out Odin's Sphere is avail on vita, had no idea. Should have gotten that.

Well it does run a custom version of Win 10...

Don't cross the ecosystems man!

If you own The Binding of Isaac on PC you can get The End is Nigh for 20% off. It's a new platformer from Edmund McMillen, the creator of Isaac. It looks really fun! Getting a lot of Meat Boy vibes from the game play.

Edmund gave a brief 20 min AMA on Twitter regarding the game:

Sweet. I loved vvvvvv

Ditto - As soon as he said that I hit the pre-order button !
