So...what games are ya'll playing?

[V4Viewtiful]

Right now, Bayonetta 2. I like it a lot but I suck ass!

 

[foxlovingfreak]

Still playing destiny for the daily missions so I can get enough materials to upgrade my gear. After which I pop in my copy of the evil within and been having blast making my way threw it. Also been dabbling in the user created content for the new Disney infinity and borderless the pre squeal which were co-oping together.

Remember Me - it's pretty fun. Basically Uncharted movement mechanics with Arkham Asylum combat, with a memory-based plot. I was a tad disappointed recently to find out that it was shorter than I previously thought.

I need to pick something else up soon though. Anyone want to make a recommendation from the following?

- Tales of Xillia (Played and loved Tales of Graces)
- FF13: Lightning Returns (Played FF13 & 13-2... alright overall, tempted to finish it all off)
- Dragon Age Origins (Just finished Mass Effect series - I hear it's similar, but fantasy rather than space)
- Sly Cooper series (I hear good things all in all - never played any of them)
- Uncharted 3 (Played the first 2 - pretty good fun)
- Ni no kuni: Wrath of the White witch (I like Studio Ghibli & RPG's)
- Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages (Never played a handheld Zelda game before but I hear these ones are good)
- Spec Ops: The Line (Not normally a fan of military shooters, but that's why I'm curious about this one)
- White Knight Chronicles (It's an RPG... that's all I know)
- Shadow of the Colossus (I really liked ICO)
-
- EDIT: Almost forgot... Persona Series (I hear very good things)

Spec Ops The Line, it'll make you feel like shit but in a good way. Most military shooters leave you bored after a while, that one you'll actually remember.

Also Shadow of the Colossus, sure there's like 13 enemies but the smallest one is the size of a bull while the larger ones will leave your jaw on the floor wondering how the hell you're gonna bring it down. Each one is a puzzle to defeat and the game in general is so unique you gotta play it.

I just got XCOM: Enemy Unknown for free from Green Man Gaming along with Enemy Within on the cheap (sidenote: This is one of the only times one of those "sign up with us now" deals was actually worth it). I love the game and I only just recently started to play with MEC troopers, but from what I have seen so far, HOLY HELL do the aliens not stand a chance. I may bump the difficulty up next playthrough, though I have heard classic is tough in the early game.

 

[Poetic Nova]

Mainly Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, with a dash of Wolfenstein: TNO thrown in.
Both are bloody amazing games.

X-Com: Enemy Unknown: I recently picked this game up for free thanks to a GOTY awards thing I voted in, and they were also nice enough to send me a code for 80% off the expansion Enemy Within. I havent played EW yet, however EU is really, really good. Its tough (especially the final room of the final area, Im almost inclined to say that room is total bullshit.), yet generally fair, with just enough random chance to make things interesting. You form a real connection with your squad as you grow in strength and barely scrape out a victory over a tough enemy. I really cant wait to start EW, any expansion to this already fantastic game is welcome, and with large mods such as Long War available, this is going to occupy me for a while.

I am currently playing X-com- EW.

Protips -
Last room boss. What you need is two squadsight snipers.

EW -

memitic skins is permanent ghost armor.
MECs. I don't use them but we have them.

Good luck with final boss. I think I will make 6 man sniper team now.

I beat him last night after i found out that he doesnt trigger if you just hug the wall after going through that narrow corridor, I still really hate how the encounter was set up though. Once I figured out that, then enounter itself wasnt too difficult (thank god I bought a heavy and saved a rocket and a shredder rocket, that made my life so much easier in dealing with him)

 

[GreyNicor]

Playing Borderlands 2 right now, have tried to play it multiple times but always quit out of boredom but got into it again thanks to the pre-sequel.
I'm less concerned about checking every possible loot container now (which I used to do on my previous playthroughs) so I'm actually getting somewhere and it's kind of fun now actually.

Also to the people laying X-Com right now, what difficulty are you guys playing on, because on both normal and classic difficulty I found the last room to be kind of joke really, I just slowly advanced until my first unit triggered the cutscene on it's first movement point, after that I just opened fire with my shredder rocket followed by the squadsight sniper(s) and the run and gun double tapping shotgun assault guy that's now standing next to whoever needs to be dead quickly.
Seriously, standing next to someone and double-tapping a shotgun deals insane amounts of damage.

 

[WindKnight]

Well, I would be playing Warframe and zooming around in space...

but the new update broke the game for me.

 

[EHKOS]

Right now I'm playing 007 Legends for the second time. It's actually kind of fun when you don't take it seriously. I've been meaning to write a review of it, but it would be mostly ranting and no one really wants to hear about it. If anyone is interested in whether or not it's a good game, it's not. At all.

Also I've been skipping around old games lately, and I'm toying with the idea of selling one of my special edition games for Far Cry 4 money.

EDIT: Oh, and I picked up Skyrim for the PS3 because I played it on PC before the expansions...and before my computer died. Would have platinumed it IF THE FUCKING OBLIVION WALKER TROPHY DIDN'T GLITCH OUT ON ME.

 

[Mykal Stype]

I bought the Legacy of Kain series on computer a little bit ago. So I'm obviously playing the 3DS Fire Emblem. Soul Reaver is impossible on the computer.

 

[LookingGlass]

I'm halfway through Valiant Hearts: The Great War [http://store.steampowered.com/app/260230/?snr=1_7_15__13] and holy crap it's good. It's just my type of adventure game: simple puzzles and a focus on good storytelling, atmosphere, and the world around you. It's right up there with my favourite adventure games like Syberia and The Longest Journey games.

 

[regalphantom]

Games that I play for short sessions or for multiplayer:
League of Legends
Starcraft 2 (my friends and I are probably the only people who still play it who are bad at the game)
Super Smash Bros. 3DS

Longer Games
ME Trilogy
Pokemon X/Y
Diablo 3
XCOM: Enemy Unknown

 

[-Dragmire-]

Mostly Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel at home and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call when on the go.

Might get Beyond Earth Soon.

Shadow of Mordor didn't grab me the way I thought it would so I've dropped it for now.

Legend of Grimrock 2.

Everything the original was, with extra besides.

The shift to an outdoor setting is a welcome divergence from the original setting and the freedom to choose your own path makes for a better experience.
Currently wishing I decided to play with the map option on as while in the first I only needed to make my own map on a couple of occasions, adding multiple planes of height to each map zone means individual 'dungeon' levels are significantly more complex and hidden rooms and alcoves are easier to miss.

I'd recommend this game to anyone with fond memories of the old school tile based rpgs.

 

[MysticSlayer]

I've been doing a lot of Smash Bros. 3DS pretty much since it came out. However, I've been wanting to get back to completing all my ongoing runs of Zelda games, so my primary game(s) will probably be changing within the next few days.

 

[Torque2100]

I've been splitting my time between Alien: Isolation and Rise of the Triad HD.

 

[AkaDad]

Right now I'm playing through Batman: Arkham City, already beat the main game, Batmans challenges, and Harley Quinns revenge and earned all the respective trophies..Just finished Catwomans Ranked Challanges and I've finished her first four campaigns, then on to Robin and Nightwing.

The two times I've tried to finish 100% that game, I've always burnt myself out. The first time, it was because I was trying to go through the challenge maps after having played the story through twice (normal & New Game+). The second, it was because I tried to go through all the challenge maps after having 100%'d the achievements for Arkham Asylum and 99%'ing a save file in Arkham Origins (didn't get 100% because I can't be effed playing the multiplayer so I was missing a few character trophies/game art or something--unfortunately a lot of the achievements for that game are tied into the multiplayer or DLC as well).

So I'm stuck with like, 75% of the achievements for Arkham City right now as I just haven't been bothered doing all of those combat and stealth maps over and over again because some of those Extreme challenges are really bloody annoying.

I have been getting the hankering to play the games again because of all the comics I've been reading lately, though.

I almost gave up on the challenges in Arkham Asylum due to one rage-inducing timed extreme challenge. I said to myself I'll try one more time, then I'm done and I ended up completing it with 1 second left.

I had a much easier time with the Arkham City challenges. I suggest looking at some walkthrough videos. They helped me on a few of the extreme challenges.

OT: I just finished Fallout: New Vegas a couple days ago. I was disappointed because the game was fully patched, but it was glitchy, the frame rate constantly stuttered, and it froze at least 25-30 times.

Right now I'm playing Gears of War again. I'm doing the hardcore and insane difficulties for the achievements. Btw, I still need the co-op achievements. If anyone needs them too, message me.

Next up, I'm trying to decide between Spec Ops: The Line and Borderlands 2.

Civilization 5

and now Civilization Beyond Earth.

OMG <3

 

[Kingjackl]

I got back into Civilisation 5; I don't feel like getting Beyond Earth, but all the talk is making me nostalgic for Civ again.

I've also been playing Dust: An Elysian Tale on and off for about 4 months now, and I'm finally at the point where I can shoot for 100% completion. I doubt I'll ever get that 1000 hit combo though, my character is literally too good for that at this point.

Last and least, I picked up a punch of PSOne games on the Vita during the last sale and tried playing through Metal Gear Solid 1. The port was pretty terrible (rear touchpad for item select? Seriously?), but then the machine broke and I had to send it in for repairs. I'm not normally glad when a product is failing, but my frustration with the Vita's dodgy design and Sony's terrible customer support has made me quite bitter.

 

[babinro]

- Marvel Puzzle Quest has been my main game since around March of this year.

- Hearthstone sees weekly play for completion of daily quests but the game really needs more content to get me back into it.

- Dragon Age 2: trying to finish this in time for Inquisition next month. Assuming I like Inquisition as much other installments it'll keep me busy into the new year.
