What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Super Mario Odyssey getting rave reviews - looks like Nintendo broke the curse with the Switch.

 

Still waiting for Super Mario Iliad

Ridiculously late to the Soulsborne party but I got DS2 for PC earlier this year to see what the fuss was about and fell in love.  Bought a PS4 with Bloodborne, DS3, & DS2:SOTFS and now these are pretty much the only games I'm going to play for the next 5 years.  I'm hoping the original gets a remaster because it doesn't work on my PC.

Goddamnit I really want a Switch now

It's really sweet, having your HD games wherever you go. If they can just improve online, and figure out their retro games model, it will be a classic console. Again the person next to me on my flight this weekend had a Switch, it's really cool bonding with strangers over gaming. A little Mario Kart and Splatoon 2 multiplayer made the time fly by. Plus a few vodkas.

Hmmm... thanks!  I already got a refund on Steam but maybe when I've beaten all the others and get hungry for more I'll try rebuying it with that.

Really just hoping they'll do a Scholar-like rerelease though!  PS4 is way better than my computer.

Just save your money and buy a PS3 and DS1 for it so you can also buy Demon's Souls :)

Or save even more money and get a PS3 emulator and run Demon's Souls in 4K:

As long as you pay it off in 6 months, PP Credit is a great way to get stuff. Just take the purchase amount, / 6, and pay that every month.

They have PS3 emulators now? JFC. I should've guessed.

There's a really good one for Wii U called CEMU that can run Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 in 4K:

Anyone played the new South Park game? If so, how is it?

The new Wolfenstein is a very good game.

unfortunately just started destiny 2, otherwise I'd be all over wolf.

 

Is it pretty much like playing DOOM? Looked like the same engine etc.

Wolfout 2 looks ridiculously fun, but I have such an enormous backlog of games I need to finish/start playing first. I'll get there eventually.

I wish Hotline Miami 1 had mouse sensitivity adjustment. shit controls do not add to an enjoyable kind of difficulty.

Same engine but plays a bit differently. If you want to run and gun like in Doom you'll probably want to lower the difficulty. It's pretty difficult.

 

But same engine I think, ye. It looks insanely good and the shooting itself feels even better than the previous games.

 

Also feels good to support a linear SP game with no bullshit microtransactions or tacked on MP stuff in the current year I guess.

Noice, I'll definitely be playing it then, at some point. 

Bought the new Mario and just waiting for my switch to arrive. I feel like a 12 year old waiting for xmas to come

Yeah I just started playing it a couple of hours ago. It's pretty dope so far. The beginning gets a bit rough though, not only with combat, but with a couple of story scenes...like when BJ is clinging to life immediately after the end of The New Order and has flashbacks from his troubled childhood...

 

Really digging the weapons too. The Lasergewehr in particular is badass, especially with the sound it makes. Pretty sure it's a distorted sawtooth wave oscillator running thru a high resonance, mid-range cutoff filter, with a mid attack, max decay, max sustain, zero release envelope.

 

 

As for Android, getting addicted to Day R Survival (Premium) at the moment. It's an open world survival game set in post-apocalypse Russia in an alternate 1990. It's like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Oregon Trail combined.

I have a feeling it will be awhile before I can jump into wolf. Will probably be messing about in Destiny 2 pvp for the next... 2 years. I get sucked into the multiplayer pretty good. I think I put about 1000hrs on the 1st one.

Scored a free code for Mario Odyssey, it's class level design and lots of inventive amusing ideas. A lot of special moves to learn, and Splatoon players will keep hitting Y to recenter the cam, which has been relocated to R. Looks to be the deepest mainline Mario game yet, haven't even tackled the Amiibo functionality.

 

Continuing to love Mummy Demastered. Wonder how the Doom port will be.

If you happen to be a Switch owner AND a fellow WATMMer you'll probably be glad to hear that Korg will port its Gadget app on Switch

(well, that's if you have the time to play something between Zelda, Stardew Valley, Splatoon, Mario etc etc etc etc)
