What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Tried a new playthrough on Fallout: NV yesterday but it kept crashing, even after two or three different fix attempts. I'm too old to be bothered with this kinda shit.

So I opted for a new NMS playthrough instead, and have begun my journey in a completely different star system from where I started last time. Not only do I admire how vastly open the game is, but also that it appears to be a different procedural set each time to keep things fresh. Looking forward to see what kind of additional updates we get down the road.

And like I said before, if Bethesda follow Hello Games' example and strive to improve FO76, then I might finally try it out as well...even if that takes up to two years.

Think I might finally play Alien Isolation. I tried the Vive mod for it a while back and it was a bit janky. Maybe it's been improved, but it's not really meant for VR outside of the head tracking with the goggles. Still need to control and interact with everything using a regular controller. I'll play it 2D.

It is, without a doubt, the scariest game I've ever played.

Is the Sega Genesis Classics worth picking up? My brother was always more of the Sega fan than I was, but 50 games for $30 seems like a good deal.

Soma was the most terrifying video game for me, being a bit of an existential crisis with the notion of abandoned consciousness.. The idea of not being at the top of the food chain is another fear of mine.. defenceless against creeping apex predators

Soma was brilliant too. great themes in there, as you suggested. it has a lot in common in common with A:I as far as gameplay goes. I plan on replaying that soon as well to 100% it, it never logged me completing the last few chapters for some reason.

Of course Analogue goes and drops a new variant days after mine turns up (not that fussed, looks a bit prototype)

Phil Fish is a genius and a glorious troll. Love him to bits.

I think the guy quit video games over some sort of gamer rage backlash?

Oh, nevermind.

No wait I was right

yeeyee. knew about all that. but jason's analogue nt posts about his boot sequences is the first time i've heard anything from him in years. maybe he'll come around.

I believe he was involved with SuperHyperCube as part of Kokoromi/Polytron

I hope so, fez is brilliant.

Shit I still haven't played that^ or Rez in vr. I really should get on it

In case you haven't, you should watch Indie Game The Movie. It paints a pretty intense portrait of him. He's a man who knows what he's doing and knows what he wants. I would love another Fez, but I also love the fact that Fez is the "only" (not counting SUPERHYPERCUBE) look inside his wonderful and complicated brain. I still have all my original post-it notes I made from back when the game came out. It looks like a mad man's/psychopath's notes.

The GBA Consolizer can output its handheld games to an HDTV in crisp 720p, with several filters and picture emulators, besting the picture quality of the GameBoy Player, and most other retro adapters. Currently, it only supports the 40 pin connector, but they are working on compatability for the 30 pin model GBAs. Check YouTube for some demonstration videos.

I'm still playing SMTIV Apocalypse since I never really did anything with it when it first came out. Awesome game.

Also playing Nier: Automata, and just got Mega Man 11 and Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise. I will be trying these two out this weekend.

I just got done getting all the achievements (minus the Special Event ones since they don't seem to have special events anymore...) in Deus Ex Go. I thought it was a great game, and having somewhat of a story added to it all was just icing on the cake.

 

And now I want to go back and replay Deus Ex: The Fall. So I'll probably be playing that for the next couple days.

 

I also replayed Transistor recently. Bastion is badass, but Transistor totally grabbed me in a way Bastion did not. I still have to check out Pyre. Supergiant Games is one hell of a development studio.

 

Oh! And I just reinstalled Final Fantasy Tactics: War Of The Lions onto my phone. Haven't played it since it was updated from the 3.5 inch screen sizes, so I'm pretty psyched to dive into it again. It's easily in my top 3 favorite games ever.

I play FFT on my phone as well - when you include the PS1 version as well, this is the game I've played the most hours on in my life.

=D

Even though Metroid II is my favorite game ever, I would have to say I've probably dumped more time into FFT than any other game as well. It's... Indescribably amazing once you wrap your head around it. And after reading loads of different walk-throughs/tips & hints pages, I still have quite a lot that I can experiment with. There's so many jobs you can combine with other class skills that... It's basically infinite when it comes to building a team.

The only other game that has ever come close for me is Dark Gate (developed by Hit-Point, published by Kemco)... And even that is severely lacking in comparison. Especially when it comes to the story and dialogue.

15 years after first playing on a PS1, then getting the PSP version... Then the iOS build... I still don't feel like I've discovered more than half the game.

Bespoke Bootup Sequences by Phil Fish

 

 

Did any of you get the last one with the Squarepusher bootup?

Yup

This mod for Deus Ex.

just began the Vandenberg AF base mission. This mod is a wholesome gift to an old hardcore fan of Deus Ex like me. The AI is noticeably better, bugs are gone, levels have more life to them, new sounds, weapons now really feel as they should, augmentations and skills revamped, and much, much, much better. Some dialogues are a bit different, more meaningful, fixed voice intonations, etc. So if you ever wondered how to make a perfect game more perfect, play this mod. It's a joy. This was made with love and I appreciate it.

I still need to try getting into the original Deus Ex — I have tried twice now, and I still can't really get past the first mission. Not because of any lack of ability, it's just...the graphics mayne :(

not playing any DE mod unless it adds more electronic old men.

yeah graphics and animations are clunky af, but there is a certain charm...or maybe i'm just biased from the day i first started to appreciate DE. I mean I'm more than willing to look the other way, considering how everything else just falls into place. I've seen one too many games with nice graphics and... yeah, just nice graphics...
