What are you playing right now?

[SanguiniusMagnificum]

I've bought the Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Extended Edition last week and I've just finished it on Normal, Roche's Path. Now I'm planning to start again on Dark Mode and see how the storyline goes with Iorveth.

My opinion, in general, is that I quite like it. The storyline is neat and compelling, not too epic but still grand (no stupid "you're the chosen one, now go save the world"), it's mostly meddling in the politics between a bunch of quarelling nobles and mages. The combat is fast and challenging, enemy variation is great (even though I would've loved a few more "epic" monsters like the Kayran, ones that require careful planning and tactics to defeat). It's pretty long, even though Act III felt a little bit rushed, but nevermind that.

Finally, I'm pretty hyped for the Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt mostly because Act III just left so many things open like:

Spoiler

how will they stop the Nilfgaardian invasion with most of the Northern monarchs being either dead or disorganized?
Where will Geralt go or what will he do next? What role will the Wild Hunt play in the Witcher 3? What will happen to the mages after Triss revealed the existence of the Lodge? What will Geralt's role be in the Nilfgaardian invasion etc....

And seeing as how it ain't coming on the Xbox 360, this means that I'll really have to invest in a solid gaming PC in the foreseeable future.

I've been playing Metro: Last Light, which I love but it's taking forever because I keep hitting game-killing bugs.

I've also been playing bits of the Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars updated/directors/whatever version.

Bet Echo Night, now I'm playing Dino Crisis. The PS roller-coaster is fun and weird. Everything feels so... "gamey". Not sure how to call it. Remember when "saving" the game was an issue? Like if you died the game didn't just spawn you from the last checkpoint - there were, in fact, no checkpoints? Everything was for real? Fun times.

I'm bouncing between Mass Effect, Tales of Xillia and Nier. I'm trying to focus more on Mass Effect because the only trophies I have left are the Asari/Turian/Krogan Ally trophies.

Currently playing some Dota 2 with friends. Same old experience as always, just more fun with friends. =P

I've also picked up Mark of the Ninja and holy shit is that game good. 2D stealth platformer sounds rather boring, but good god is it fun to play.

I should really go back and replay some 2D classics...

Battlefield 4 - somewhere in this mountain of bugs and slow patches is a really good game. It annoys me this game is coming up so short and getting such bad ratings because it was pushed out before it was ready, because otherwise it is one of the funnest games I've played

That's good to hear, to be honest I was interested in picking up a PS4 soon so I could play it but I was put off by all the comments people had. I'm glad to hear that it's still making people happy, I might reconsider now.

I'm playing lots of WoT as usual but I just started playing Pokemon Black 2 due to reasons some of you might know well.

Redlin, a lot is an understatement. You are putting some serious time into tanks fighting other tanks. I mean serious time. If it was measured in wars, it'd be more than have ever actually taken place.

Add me on steam! It's always good to find more Escapees to play DotA with.

Should be, uh, most of us. =P

My Steam profile is on my profile here, just add me when you get the chance if I can't find you.

Oh come on, I don't play it THAT often...

Right now I'm playing GTA V (second playthrough), Minecraft (first playthrough), and Final Fantasy IX (umpteenth playthrough). All on the PS3.

I'm planning one more half-assed GTA V playthrough of doing stupid shit, fucking up heists for laughs and squandering everybody's money on frivolities before starting a fresh save file and doing everything "by the (guide)book", getting as much money as I possibly can, with the ultimate goal of owning every purchasable business on the map. [small]And two Z-types per character. Natch.[/small]

As for Minecraft, I'm pretty much just digging a very deep hole. So far, I've found some iron and a zombie. Fun!

And on good old IX, I'm going to save the world, get the girl and the biggest sword [small](Oooh... Sexy sword...)[/small], and beat everybody and their grandmother at card games. As I always do.

And maybe finally get around to taking a serious whack at optional, hidden uber-boss Ozma. Yeah. I got a bit tired of optional, hidden uber-bosses after Final Fantasy VII, with Ruby [small]"I KILL YOU WITH QUICKSAND"[/small] Weapon this and Emerald [small]"I'M UNDERWATER LOL"[/small] Weapon that, but IX is my favourite FF of the bunch. I want to have tried everything it has to offer at least once!

my most recent game was the director's cut of "Deadly Premonition" for the PS3.

All I can say is...wow. o.o I didn't know what I was in the mood to play when I popped that game into my system... but it definitely scratched some kind of itch. I highly recommend it.

the game was like playing Persona 4 by way of Silent Hill, with a little crime noir thrown in and a healthy dose of self-parody. Before I knew it I had put 45 hours into the game, got the platinum trophy, and felt a little sad to be leaving.

Just got my PC working (with help from somebody on this forum, mr IOC), while it was broken I bought a few games on steam so I have been dabbling on them to give them a little whirl.

Most of my time has been spent on xcom enemy within, which has been kicking my fucking ass! I played most of the vanilla game on easy with very little trouble, I am playing on easy now and soldiers are dying left and right, panic levels are rising like fucking crazy.

How the fuck people play on impossible is like how Koreans play starcraft, not possible!

 

[LookingGlass]

Spelunky and State of Decay (a couple of Steam sale purchases). I've been really enjoying both of them in 30-120 minute bursts over the past few days.

Thinking about starting Rome 2 later today also.

Are you sure it's not just line-of-sight glitches? I heard the expansion put quite a few annoying bugs into the game, not the least of which were squad-wiping, monitor-punching wall-hacks by aliens from an entire room and floor away.

Currently playing Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. Just finished all of the boss re-fights, and I'm trying to level up myself and a few of my Spirits so I can take on the optional boss. Guy is alot tougher that I was expecting.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Heh. Aloooot of things at the moment.

Assassin's Creed IV
Killzone Shadowfall
Dead Rising 3
Shadowrun Returns
Far Cry 3
Persona 4 Golden
Hotline Miami
The Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 demo because I've been waiting a fucking year and a half for that game

Many, many things...

 

[Chester Rabbit]

I?m all over the place at the moment

I?m well into Jade Empire

I was playing FEZ, but...I am seriously lost in that game at the moment

And then I just got Doom 3 and Condemned because I recently rediscovered my love of horror games.

Then there is also Saints Row The Third Full Package which I am loooving.

And then *sigh* there?s Metroid....man this game certainly makes me feel dumb. I can?t tell if I have just been spoiled by modern gaming or if maybe...this game just doesn?t hold up...
It actually broke me down and I looked up the damn map for this game which has made it much more enjoyable.

Oh yeah and Deus Ex I am still trying to actually finish that gaaah.

 

[Strain42]

For work purposes I am replaying Persona 2 on my PSP.

For fun I am playing Castle Doombad on my iPod.

My room mate has been playing Fable and Digital Devil Saga, I'm usually playing one of the aforementioned 2 and just cracking jokes and telling stories the whole time.

And together we're playing Castle Crashers and Kirby's Epic Yarn in co-op. He'd never played CC before so we've been having fun with that.

I think that's really about it.

I do want to give honorable mention to Detective Grimoire on iOS because I just finished that 100% and I FREAKIN' LOVED IT!!! SUPER FUN AWESOME POINT AND CLICK ADVENTURE FUN!!!

 

[DeadRise17]

Just finished playing a short Holy Roman Empire campaign on Medieval 2: Total War and left wondering whether to start a long campaign or play one of the expansions.

 

[FrozenLaughs]

Pokemon Y on my 3ds, Xcom: Enemy Within on my 360. Pathfinder on my days off.

 

[DementedSheep]

I'm waiting fr my computer to get repaired so can't play anything right now. I was working my way thorough XCOM: Classic ironman (fun but stressful so I need other games to break it up), Torchlight 2 and a simple but addictive game called Super Hexagon.
