So whatcha playing Escapists?

[moggett88]

Absolutely nothing for the past six weeks, and I can't find a shred of desire to play anything at all. The last few times I played I wound up having really bad experiences with others.

Maybe I'd play something if I knew I was going to have fun instead of having people coming down on me.

Exactly my problem right now. People get too concerned that you're not having fun right, and with the best of intentions, ruin your experience trying to set you straight.

Lately it's been Desktop Dungeons and Heroes of Might and Magic 3 In the Wake of Gods, and I'll be playing The Sims 4 in a couple days.

 

[Souther Thorn]

Biz as usual. Minecraft, New Vegas, DayZ, Xcom. nothing new.

 

[OhNoYouDidnt]

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines!

It required some fiddling to get it to work, but my goodness, am I in love with this game. The music is great, the voice acting is great (for the most part), the dialogue is great, the atmosphere is amazing.

Everything about it is great, as far as I am concerned... except for the combat. It is a little bit clunky, and boss fights required some serious cheesing in order for me to survive, but maybe that is because I am playing as a squishy Tremere vampire.

But yes. It is wonderful stuff. I would easily place it in a list of "best RPGs ever made".

I very recently played through New Super Mario Bros 2 again and, beat Dishonored five-ways from Sunday. So now that I'm through with those, I've moved back to Pokemon Y (I want to finish the narrative at least...I keep telling myself) and, I'm giving Xenoblade Chronicles another chance. A couple of nights ago when Shulk was revealed for Smash officially, I said to myself 'I'm going to give this game another chance' and just like that I lost about 3 or 4 hours of my evening and had beaten up Xord. I'm still disappointed by how much closer to the beginning I am than I am to the freaking midpoint. I still haven't beaten Deus Ex: HR-DX so I may go back to that and if I end up actually having left over money I may get an eShop card for Takamaru, Gunvolt or...or maybe just Mario Kart DLC...I don't even know. I want Theatrhythm: CC now...

I've just picked up Civ 5 and have already had 2 concurrent days of going to bed at dawn. I'm also currently playing Borderlands 2, but the guy I'm playing it with has just moved and doesn't have internet.

 

[Summerstorm]

Hm... mostly Awesomenauts and Firefall

So pretty much wasting my time with online-play.

If anyone says anything to me about the story or the ending, I will end you.

Sorry, but the correct term is I will destroy you [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mi2NKZ37YE].

edit: Oh yeah I'm playing through the Prince of Persia series atm. Still had it lying around, never got to finishing it because Sands of Time starts off kinda... lame. But the ending is excellent and I'm at Warrior Within atm.

I finished Max Payne 3 yesterday. I thought it was a good game all things considered.

 

[Trunkage]

Walking Dead season 2, Skyrim and Marvel Lego (with my daughter). I needed to inject some light into the dark that is Walking Dead

 

[Barbas]

Company of Heroes 2 - Saving up fuel and munitions to barrage the enemy charges with artillery and force them back with King Tigers. >

 

[Xerosch]

Phew... let's see... There is quite a lot of stuff that I've started with but haven't finished, yet.

My first playthrough of Diablo 3 on PS4 was completed yesterday. Will definately not be my last. Diablo 3 is one of those games I potentially never uninstall because you don't really finish it.

I have started with 'Danganronpa 2' on Friday. Then I read that you 'can but shouldn't' play it without finishing the first one. So I'm currently waiting for the postman.

Aside from these two I'm wanting to finish Assassin's Creed 3, Arkham Origins, Kingdom Hearts HD, Final Fantasy X HD and a lot more.

That. And loads of visual novel style games like Dual Destinies, Virtue's Last Reward and the occasional Layton.



Hmmm... I guess I should take control of my backlog a bit.

 

[omega 616]

I have quite the back log but at the moment, I am playing toy soldiers (it was £1 on steam!), I finally got a new PS4 controller so I have gotten to the first time you meet the runners (or something) in the last of us, play a round or two on UFC every so often, started playing Black ops 2 again.

Yeah, I am kind of a flaky gamer at the moment ... I did want to hardcore focus on TLOU but my controller/movement issues killed my mood for it.

 

[Story]

My grandfather let me borrow his PS3 so I can finally try the exclusives I wanted to play for years. I don't have much time though since school started, but this weekend I decided to treat myself to Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. I finished it this weekend too, I liked it a lot!

 

[Clearwaters]

I got both Metro Redux and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 back on August 26.

I've been alternating between the two and the emotional whiplash is jarring to say the least. I just finished both Metro 2033 and Last Light Redux and I'll probably play through 'em both again soon to 100% them.

 

[Woiminkle]

Am playing way too much Kerbal Space Program at the moment. It's even consuming a lot of brain cycles during the day when I'm not playing.
I am trying to get to Duna (KSP's Mars analogue for those who don't play) and back and the mission I have designed seems capable if only I could get the original encounter right. My finesse with the controls may not be up to snuff.
Other than that I finished season 2 of The Walking Dead over the weekend and turned on GTA V for an hour or two of simple dicking around fun.

Any other escapists playing KSP? Got any tips on how to get a decent encounter with Duna?

 

[Drummodino]

I've been alternating between Final Fantasy XIV: ARR and Tales of Xillia recently. Loving both, FF is the first MMO to really interest me and Xillia has a pretty good story, some excellent characters (Elize especially) and a extremely fun real time combat system. I want to finish that and Dragon Age: Origins before some of the Spring releases roll around.

 

[Darren716]

I've been playing some XCom: Enemy Unknown after picking up on that 2k steam sale from last week, coming from a guy who doesn't really play many turned based strategy games I am in love with this game, it has a good amount of complexity but is straightforward enough that even someone who is a rookie to the genre can really enjoy it.

 

[1Life0Continues]

Burnout Paradise: Ultimate Edition.

No idea why I'm having so much fun throwing my cars down highways and making them perform agonisingly long runs of destruction for money, but it's a kind of catharsis I guess others would get from shooters...oh, well I suppose I do know why now.

Waiting for Labor Day so I can get the very last date with Calendar Man in Batman Arkham city. Yes, I am doing it the hard way. No, I am not stu...okay, maybe a little.

Also 7 Days to Die. No idea what I'm doing, but I don't care.

 

[Something Amyss]

Right now, most of mhy time is on either GTA V Online or Motocross Madness (free games with gold game). I'm also playing Magic 2012 and Dynasty Warriors 8 with friends over.

If anyone says anything to me about the story or the ending, I will end you.

The story ends.
