What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

I just beat Tacoma on PS4. Cool, indie scifi walking sim. Story was way better than the dev's first game Gone Home. Out on most platforms.

^ I bought it on tha strengf of Gone Home and will play it when I get through other stuff.

this is on the SNES classic - haven't tried it out yet though.

 

correct. i think it's the only place where you can play it legally since it was never released.

btw: in order to play it, you have to play and finish the first stage of the original star fox

i don't like the fact that instead of making it look like the neo geo console, they went for a miniature arcade cabinet. now it looks like one of those tiny arcade cabinets with versions of centipede and pac-man

http://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/neogeo-mini-console-1202805652/

looks hideous and uncomfortable to play on. i'm sure the screen that no one would want to use will jack the price up too. hopefully they have enough sense to only make a very limited number of these for collectors to buy and resell to each other for exorbitant prices

just started majoras mask 3ds (on 2ds).  Playing it for the first time, and its already hitting nostagia points for the twisted ocarina of time vibe

Majora's Mask was so amazing.

totally of my own volition. totally uninfluenced by anyone or anything else. i've been playing through megaman legacy collection. beat 1 and 2 last week. probably finish three tonite. next stop charge buster. your behind is mine dr willy!

Playing The Evil Within 2. Digging it so far. Much more of an open game than the first one.

I am starting to believe that Valve might be a big front for money laundering. They stopped making games and went to a purely microtransaction and vendors fee based economy. Plus, encouraging all of those thousands of crappy asset flip games to infest the storefront is the perfect way to cover up money laundering. They used to be really stringent on quality but now you can put anything up for $100.

Probably not the appropriate thread to post this in but fuck it.

i just picked up destiny 2 for £8 on humble bundle, so looking forward to that once its installed.

I agree this was an odd choice (was totally expecting a mini NG console), but it is cute.

Has HDMI out, but yeah, playing on those tiny controls... hopefully a USB too for controller support.

Price will determine if I grab one of these (the Asian release; the US/UK colours are a bit bland).

NEO·GEO Mini Asian Model (not Mai Shiranui):

Fun Fact: When I was getting into HTML and CSS teaching myself (which is one of the reasons I started joyrex.com), I considered doing a NEO·GEO fansite instead...

Not entirely sure that's what money laundering is ...

 

You never know... they might be washing all the money very thoroughly and hanging it up to dry on the clothesline...

Too rainy in Bellevue.  They must be funneling the cash through a warmer offshore subsidiary to get a full dry cycle

Im feeling like my younger self might have got a hernia from the time mechanic, but now having a more casual attitude towards gaming i can appreciate it as a creative design decision

Monster Hunter Generations is coming to Switch. Might my first MH game ever, and people seem happy about the announcement !

I heard that Valve get 30 percent of the cut on all Steam transactions. Hard for me to knock Steam itself though, as I've been using it since its debut in late 2001. I think May 2005 is when the service made its first third party developer game Rag Doll Kung Fu available.

The good news is, and speaking of third party developers, I just stumbled upon a Project Borealis last night in the works. And it might just be the closest thing we ever get to HL3. I also get the impression that they are being cautious, so as not to repeat the train wreck that Hunt Down The Freeman turned out to be.

So, in determination to play the game without cheating, am I just really shit at Deus Ex: Mankind Divided???

Any sort of shooting just seems like I've never played a shooter before (I have), it just seems to be impossible to aim without jolting all over the fucking place. Thought I'd found a good entrance to a library I need to get in to sort out my systems which are dodgy from the start. Going through the front door I died before barely getting in, a few times. So, found a way round to another side on top of buildings and it's just as bad.

Is this game actually hard or am I trying the wrong mission??? I've barely done anything and keep fucking dying!!

Have you tried sneaking?

In certain places yeah, but it seems impossible into this place. The building top way round was my sneak, maybe I need to use the invisibility cloak thingy more but it lasts like 2 seconds so doesn't help too much.
