What are you playing right now?

[Johnny Novgorod]

Alright, playing Dino Crisis. If anybody played it I've got some questions I'm having trouble getting answered in walkthroughs. That be really, really helpful.

Can the dinos get killed by the laser grids or is the zap harmless?
Do the dinos respawn, and if so, do they respawn randomly or once I activate certain flags?
Does my score lower if I save multiple times (apparently there're unlimited saves)?
Are there any items I can "lose forever", any important areas that get closed off past a certain flag?
How the hell do those boxes + plugs work?

Why the hell would you make Adam Jenson, typhoon master and augmented super soldier, then make a bleeding pacifist trophy?!
IT MAKES ZERO SENSE!

It does actually, b/c while that maybe true he ''never asked for this''.

Anyways currently playing Bravely Default on 3DS. Really fun game but the art is espescially nice. It's like a water color picture book. It reminds me of a mix between FF9 and Saga Frontier 2.

I've got a couple of games on the go at the minute, as per usual. Most recently I've been playing Assassins Creed III: Liberation HD, which I picked up yesterday night as soon as it showed up on the PSN store. I'm rather enjoying it as well - I particularly like how Aveline's different personas have different playstyles, it's pretty neat.

Other than that, I'm about 7 hours into my first playthrough of Mass Effect, which I picked up during the PSN sales and I'm thoroughly enjoying it, and I'm in the middle of playing Ni No Kuni as well, so I've got plenty of hours of glorious RPGs ahead of me.

I have 5 titles on separate systems that I am currently playing (not all equally mind you).

Currently, I am spending most of my time with Pokemon X (love this game!) on my new 3DS XL and Assassin's Creed 3 on the PS3.

I'm also deep in Persona 3 Portable on my PSP and Chrono Trigger on my DS.

Oh, and I bought Duck Tales Remasterd from PSN.

 

[Treeberry]

PS3: Dark Souls
Wii: Pandora's Tower

I've only just started the above games and something I really like about them so far is how concise and to the point they are.

3DS: Pokemon Y (I'm progressing at a snail's pace)

Been playing Borderlands 2.
Trying to hit the latest level cap but I'm really just lazy and is farming for loot instead of going towards any goal.

I should actually be playing Borderlands (first game) but circumstances are keeping me apart from my PS3. So it's what little games my laptop can run for me at the moment. Anyway I like Borderlands but haven't found farming is such a big deal since you don't get that much money from weapons you don't pick up during missions.

Welcome to the forum too!

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, personally, feel like I've gotten my money's worth from this game, but a good amount of the community is pissed that the game was released about six months before it should've been put in public beta. Biggest problem is with what we call 'netcode': die from a shooter around a corner, die in one bullet because DICE has no idea how to fix some shots doing 2x the damage they should do, shoot players center mass and do no damage, have both shooters pull a Mexican standoff and kill each other (you have no idea HOW OFTEN that happens)...

Watch this video real fast, you don't even need sound for it.


Some of the minor bugs and balance issues -- like some vehicles being unnecessarily flimsy, denied revives counting as teamkills, and the most spammable grenade in the game accidentally having the hugest blast zone instead of the smallest -- is liable to getting fixed. But that netcode... I don't know if they know how to fix it.

As I said, I know it's a really good game. The map design is the best in the BF series, the weapon balance is miles above the M16A3-AEK spamfest of BF3, the shooting is really solid...! But the game still falls flat because of this one thing.

Hold off on a few months, if you're expecting something better. I still play it everyday and I like it.

Also they still haven't released Second Assault on PC, denying me of my wonderful M60E4, and the .44 Magnum got a pretty unneeded nerf. Poo on DICE for that.

I'm playing Tales of Xillia in expectation of part two. I'm simultaneously going through Uncharted 3 and another game on Xbox Live that I forget the name of right this moment.
Xillia isn't as good as Vesperia. The characters aren't as strong, and the game itself is way easier than Vesperia, but Xillia is a good game.

 

[Artina89]

For my birthday I received a replacement Gamecube and some games for it, so I am currently playing (or should I say replaying) through:

Resident Evil 0
Super Mario Sunshine
Pokemon Colosseum
Waverace: Blue storm

I have recently finished playing through:

Legend of Zelda: A link between worlds
Resident Evil: REmake
Resident Evil 4 (The gamecube version, but I have played through that game so much, I have it memorized)

Yeah, I am going through a bit of a Nintendo kick at the moment, it's nice to replay games you played a lot as a kid, especially when you have had a busy and/or stressful day.

 

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

Nothing really.

I just really want to get The Banner Saga.

[small]Not having it is unbearable.[/small]

 

[DarkhoIlow]

Okami at the moment.

Things waiting to be played afterwards:
The Last Story
Digital Devil Saga 1&2
Odin Sphere
Muramasa The Demon Blade
Banner Saga
Pandora's Tower
Kingdom Hearts 1,2 & Chains of Memories

Yep, got my hands full 'till Thief releases.

 

[TheSteeleStrap]

I'm currently playing Arkham Origins. I have strongly mixed feelings about it. I'll be preparing a review after I finish it.

 

[Aesir23]

I'm replaying Dragon Age: Awakening which I intend to follow with DA2 and then either with the Mass Effect games or Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

I'm currently playing Arkham Origins. I have strongly mixed feelings about it. I'll be preparing a review after I finish it.

I've heard it's as good as Arkham City, but that because it didn't take gameplay anywhere new, it suffered for lack of originality. Considering how City was a quantum leap for Asylum (love both games but it's always good to keep things fresh) I guess the criticism is valid. Even if Origins is by all means a good game on its own.

 

[stroopwafel]

The story missions of Origins are easily on par with Arkham City it's just that the game is spread way too thin. A too large area that is not only unpopulated(other than thugs) but also hinges on repetition as an incentive to explore it. They better could have kept it more compact like keeping it confined to Arkham City. You can see the story of Origins is made by Batman enthusiasts but the game itself relies solely on the excellent foundation laid out by Rocksteady. It does little to nothing to differentiate itself as far as gameplay is concerned, so they might have well just kept it in the same area as City. The side-missions aren't nearly as good as in City either. But like I said the story missions are really good.

 

[The Hero Killer]

Dynasty Warriors 8, I was trying to play that and Beyond: Two Souls at the same time but I wanted the instant gratification of DW8. Now I'm trying to balance Assassins Creed: Black Flag and Liberation HD, but still keep floating back to DW.

FYI if I remember correctly the Pacifist achievement on DE:HR counts the prologue as well, so you can't kill anyone during the assault on Sarif Industries. No, you don't have a non-lethal option at that point! You must just make it by everyone.

For no alarms, I'm pretty sure you're also ok if you're temporarily spotted by bots; you just have to get out of view again immediately.


OT: Civ4 BTS has dragged me back in, the heartless bastard! I've got so many new games to play and here I am conquering the world again..

 

[Summerstorm]

At the moment i am on a nostalgia trip:

Playing:

Dungeon Keeper II
and
Baldurs Gate (I am ashamed to say i never played it through back then)

also a lot of early access games i bought over the last few months:
NeoScavenger
Kenshi
Kerbal Space
tried Rust for an hour or so
Starfarer
and such games, but mostly not very intensive (I don't want to spoil myself for when they are updated and have more content)

There are definitely good things about it, but yes the originality is suffering.
