What are you playing right now?

[Slothy]

Finish the other 50 stars in Mario 64.

[Pike]

I have decided to breed the perfect Goomy so I'm back into Pokemon hardcore. My poor neglected Steam account.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

Pokemon X is receiving most of my attention at the moment. I also recently played through Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies, which I thought was excellent. I'm also playing a bit of Gears of War 3 (because Judgment is a pile of rubbish) and FIFA 12 (to get the achievements before EA closes the servers).

[Madame Adequate]

Too many games to play

Currently playing;
Skyrim
Crusader Kings 2
CK2 - Game of Thrones mod
CK2 - Elder Kings mod
Max Payne 3
Dwarf Fortress
Distant Worlds
Plus others here and there when I just want to kill half an hour, like SSFIV or Awesomenauts

And I have so many more I need to play.

[Pete for President]

Playing Portal and Portal 2, as well as a bit of Hotline Miami. Still need to unlock every mask and A+ everything.

[Denmark]

Finish the other 50 stars in Mario 64.

No. They're boring. Plus I've done them a billion times before.

I bought Super Mario 3D Land last night and am enjoying it thus far.

[Ayen]

Final Fantasy VIII.

[TrollHunter]

So, finished the campaign of fire emblem awakening after like 50 hours of pure awesomeness. This game is just astounding and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone with a 3DS. This game fixed so many problems I had with the GBA fire emblems (though not all) and improved upon everything that makes fire emblem great.


In the end...


pros:
-Amazing new mechanics that allow for some really fun and unique strategies
-Fansmurfingtastic music as usual.
-Really fun writing that doesnt take itself too seriously, but also knows how to amp up the intensity if needed.
-This game has a great sense of humor that plays on all of the old fire emblem tropes. I found myself laughing quite frequently during this game which doesnt happen for me very often.
-The difficulty allows for a lot of customization and its very fair while still extremely punishing. It's hard to get the luck based strategy game right, but this game did it very very well.
-It's such an absurdly vast game. The amount of characters to get, the marriage system, the child units, the pair up system, reclassing units and skill building... the amount of thought one can put into character building is enough to make ones head spin. I know I spent many hours just overwhelmed by the amount of info. Some may see this as a con, but I found it absolutely fascinating. You can get so insanely creative its amazing.
-And an absurd amount of post-game content that will likely keep me busy for months to come.


Cons:
-It takes up a lot of time, which is a huge issue for a ton of people if you arent on break.
-The story can be extremely predictable
-Some of the writing near the end got a bit too melodramatic for my taste, but thats every fire emblem game sooo
-The 3d gives me a headache, but thats how I am with every 3ds game
-Harder difficulties like Lunatic and Lunatic+ require spending a lot of time grinding experience and the early chapters are absolutely ridiculous in their stupidity.
-The total price of DLC adds up quick, and some may argue its pretty overpriced.


But yeah, this game is stellar. I fully embrace the flaws and the strengths of this game. It's a fantastic experience if you're willing to put in the time. If you have a 3ds, pick it up. You won't regret the purchase. This is definitely my game of the year.

[Vermachtnis]

I got VVVVVV for .50 off Steam and it is awesome. I've died 1527 times! I don't know what these Shiny Trinkets are, but I want them. After "Doing Things The Hard Way" and "Prize For the Reckless" I think I can handle anything the game throws at me now. Maybe.

[Pike]

I exchanged a duplicate Christmas gift I got for Assassin's Creed IV. I haven't had a chance to play it yet but today's my "Friday" so I'm super stoked about all the time I'm going to put into it over the next couple of days. :aimsun:

[Shorty]

Fallout 3, FFIX and now Minecraft. And I'm trying to forge ahead with reading! Too much on my plate right now ;-;

[Shauna]

Finished up Katamari Forever and Deadly Premonition. Time to power on to Kirby's Adventure Wii and try and play more Disgaea. :}

final fantasy 7

Kid icarus: Uprising
i kind of start to hate this game. they tell the story through the action, and becaus of that i get nothing from the story.. and i need a story

[Pike]

I started Assassin's Creed IV last night. I'm not very far yet and only put a couple of hours into it but I'm enjoying it a lot so far. I loooove the "real world" premise, the setting of which is giving me Deus Ex: Human Revolution vibes, and sailing the boat is a blast.

Also: super hot main character.

[Bubba]

Ploughing through hero mode on Zelda: A Link Between Worlds on my 3DS.

Also, received GTAV for Christmas and am thoroughly blown away as to what Rockstar have achieved. Incredible.

[Pike]

Playing so much lately! :love:

Morrowind: I was rocketing through the main quest until a couple of weeks ago at which point I slowed down because this has become my "streaming game" and I don't get to stream that often for various reasons. Still, people do show up and watch me mess around in an open world WRPG, so that's pretty great. One of my addons has apparently added a ton of bonus content to the MQ so that's kind of fun because it freshens it up a bit.

Bravely Default Demo: Love it. I've put more time into it than some of the complete games I've payed full price for, ahaha. I'm pretty sure most people here know of this game but if you don't it's basically an oldschool Final Fantasy without the Final Fantasy game. You get to mess around with job classes and beat things up. It's fun.

Pokemon X: Still playing it; my current projects are Operation Breed The Perfect Goomy and Operation Complete the Pokedex. The latter would go a lot quicker if I was just going purely through trades but I'm carefully handraising most of the Pokies I get which is actually pretty great because it means now I've got an absurd amount of high level Pokemon. Good word I love this game. I'm not sure how I can go back to the older gens now.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag: :save: DO WHAT YOU WANT CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE, YOU ARE A PIRATE :save: - it's the same shtick as other AssCreed games but extra fun because you get boats and oh yeah, you're a pirate. Having a lot of fun with this one so far! We'll see if it holds my interest though - games in this series always tend to lose my attention partway through.

[Ghosteses]

Final Fantasy Origins - Sony Playstation
Kingdom of Paradise - Sony Playstation Portable

it is actually a really fun game =D it takes a bit to learn but its nice to be playing a action RPG ^^ not sure if i have really ever played one before

[Hollycat]

I'm playing enter the nexus, it was a gift and so now I have yet another copy of Quest for Booty to give away.

[Shaibana]

and i want FF8 but dunno where to download it xD.. perhaps ill buy it on steam someday

and if i find the time im going to watch Advent Children :3

[Old Manus]

I'm playing Bioshock 1 after the Steam sale and holy balls am I underwhelmed. I'm about half way through and I'm still fighting the same enemies and running down the same corridors going on fetch quests. Please tell me it gets more interesting.

So I stopped playing that and installed Just Cause 2 because Vivi22 said it was good and am having a far better time.

It doesn't. But I still like the concept and the setting. :(

[Loony BoB]

I got AC, ACII, AC:B, ACIII and AC:R on a single disk for Christmas (yay to Danielle) and have so far finished Assassin's Creed and am almost done with Assassin's Creed II. I got The Last of Us, too, but want to see how many AC games it's going to take me before I get sick of the ol' routine. So far, so good!

[Shaibana]

on the pc i downloaded Final Fantasy VIII (1st time im playing this game, i really hope it doesnt get stuck somewhere like i had with VII on the pc)
on the Ps3 Final fantasy VII
and on the psp Final Fantasy Crisis core..

yaay :D Final fantasy

[Ayen]

Dust: An Elysian Tail.

[Philosoraptor]

Replaying FFV (and exploriing the job system a little more thoroughly than I have before) after an abortive stab at The After Years (see my rant in the appropriate forum for an idea of how that went). Considering giving Dimensions a shot next, or applying some mods to some of my favourite Western RPGs - Baldur's Gate or Temple of Elemental Evil - and giving them another shot.

[Pike]

Just started playing "Guacamelee" the other day - it's a great deal of fun. It's a sort of beat-em-up platformer which involves pulling off combos on skeletons and combing your way through temples by using a clever mechanic that lets you switch between the worlds of the living and dead. I didn't stop playing for a good few hours when I first picked it up. The stylish visuals and music are another plus.

I'm also still playing a lot of Assassin's Creed IV which I'm pretty sure is my favorite AssCreed game. You wouldn't think that a pirate game would be this comfy, but there you go. Nothin' but the open sea and sailors singing shanties. :)

[DanielCLFFF13]

Finished Resident Evil 6. Chris and Piers last boss battle was very difficult until I searched wiki guide then made it haha. It took me about an hour to kill it. Now start a new game Kingdom of Amalur Reckoning, and play Rise Of Nations.

[Bubba]

Me and my girlfriend are having a joint play through of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass on her DS. I wasn't sure how I'd take to using the stylus to move around but it's not as awkward as I thought it would be. Also still immersing myself in GTAV on PS3.

[Shaibana]

omg yes, first time it took me an hour too :P
thank god for wiki guide :D after that i had m in 10 minutes :D (at mather of speaking)

[Shorty]

Finally catching up with the remaining Walking Dead Season One episodes. Holy trout, did I seriously just hack a guy's leg off? That is some super graphic trout.

I just started up Saints Row 2 yesterday, and I've been intermittently juggling Minecraft and FFIX. I played FFIX for a little today and became furious when I needlessly died and hadn't saved in some time because I am an arrogant asshole and it did not serve me well, so I shut off the game to play something else. Later tonight I'll probably begin Batman: Arkham Asylum fiiiiiinally. This is about all I can juggle right now, I think. I really only picked up Walking Dead because I'm waiting for Batman to finish downloading, and now I think that maybe it wasn't such a good idea. Oh well!

I've abandoned Fallout for a little while. Too much new ground to cover right now.

And I just got Borderlands 2, Sleeping Dogs, Bioshock 2, and I really really want to go through the GTA games and work my way up to V ;-; Too much trout to catch up on! I can feel my life ending one minute at a time in the most wasteful manner possible, but I give no smurfs.

edit: I'm a liar, I'm playing fallout 3 right now

[Skyblade]

I got AC, ACII, AC:B, ACIII and AC:R on a single disk for Christmas (yay to Danielle) and have so far finished Assassin's Creed and am almost done with Assassin's Creed II. I got The Last of Us, too, but want to see how many AC games it's going to take me before I get sick of the ol' routine. So far, so good!

Revelations comes before ACIII in the continuity.

[Loony BoB]

Aye, found that out the other day, luckily before I played either. :)

Assassin's Creed II done. I even bothered to Platinum it, and I must say it was probably the easiest Platinum I ever got. The story was great and I liked that I could upgrade Montewhatever's shops and whatnot. I felt the fights in AC were a bit better than the ones in ACII for some reason I'm not sure of, maybe I just never got the hang of it.

If Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood hasn't changed the battle system, though, then I've definitely got the hang of it now, because I love this game more than the previous two by some distance because of one reason alone: Recruiting other assassin's. Oh man, I love sitting around the coops and sending them on missions and leveling them up and whatnot. Most of mine are up to level 8 now, although I still need to get a couple more towers down so I can unlock my last two recruits. I'm not sure I can be arsed getting 100% synchronisation, though. Some of the requirements are just not worth my time... maybe when I'm done. I dunno.

I got tired of trying to beat something "the right way" at some point and just sat on a bench and highlighted who I wanted dead and called out my crew, and they stormed the place while I chilled out. It was great. I like to assume that this is what it looks like when I'm making my kills, when seen from a civilian perspective. Guy's walking along, minding his own business, BAM, assassin jumps from alley and murders him. Patrol dude on a horse? BAM. Assassin runs up, pulls him off, kills him, mounts the horse, horse rears back and whinnies for dramatic effect and then my assassin rides it off into the distance. Awesome.

Pretty much.

I should warn, the Assassin promotions are fun missions, but do lock things down a bit. Once you promote to full Assassin, they become more powerful and can't die permanently, but you can't change their armor color anymore, as they don the Assassin white. Their cape, however, is based on the color scheme it was before they were promoted, so set that up in advance if you care at all.

If you like that aspect, you'll like Revelations even more. You get more Assassins, and they work great. There's even a mission where you get to take the ENTIRE Brotherhood in at once (no more than that, spoilers).

Pity that seemed to vanish in ACIII, or took way too long to unlock.

[TrollHunter]

Still playing FE:Awakening.

Basically finished with hard/casual. Just need the limit breaker ability and then I'll take on Apotheosis.

In the meantime... started a lunatic/casual run. Got to chapter 5 and realized that I didnt want to play it in casual and I didnt like the avatar I made.
Instantly restarted on classic with a different character. Let's just say I have the first few pure insanity chapters down perfectly now.

I'm doing well on my Lunatic run (mostly working on perfecting my squad, as well as calculating "ideal" relationships), but I'm not looking forward to Lunatic+.

Had absolutely no issues up til chapter 3 which had me beating my head against a wall for awhile. Strangely this chapter gave me no trouble on my first lunatic run. Maybe because it was 4am when I was having trouble... Now I just finished paralogue 1 and am about to start chapter 5. Things are going smoothly now, and my +Def -Luk avatar is the most overpowered unit I have. I learned that using avatar for the first few chapters is far more effective than using freddy, though he is definitely essential for multiple strategies.

I've got my families figured out because I did all of the brain-hurting character optimization stuff in hard mode. Making some slight alterations, but for the most part it will be the same as my old nearly complete file.

And Lunatic+ man... a difficulty less based on strategy and more based on how many luna+ enemies are on the field. I'm strangely looking forward to that...

[Shoeberto]

I finished Dead Money in Fallout: New Vegas over the weekend. It was a great little piece of DLC, very cleverly designed. It was difficult but not unforgiving (unlike Honest Hearts, which was just kind of boring and didn't really seem to have a point or impact). I want to play Lonesome Road now, and then I'll have gone through the whole series of DLC, and can put the game to rest for now. It's really grown into one of my favorites.

I also got a Moga for my phone and have been playing through Zelda: Oracle of Seasons. It's pretty fun, quirky, charming, all that. It's nice to revisit the top-down games, especially ones I haven't already played and beaten 10+ times.

In terms of what it gets you and how you finish up, I actually find +Luck, -Def to be the best final result, and it's what I'm using for Lunatic. It did make things harder, but customization is more important than making things easy. Now I just have to see if that combo is even capable of taking on Lunatic+.

Dead Money is the only DLC I've played, but I enjoyed it greatly. I found it difficult in the aspect of constantly gettin lost in the villas, and suffering from a case of motion sickness all the while. The explosive collar business and the catch in having to stay away from radios and electrical equipment was fantastic, the ghost people are so creepy and wonderful, and Dog/God was great. I get the feeling that this DLC isn't too much a favorite from fans, but the mysterious story behind the Sierra Madre and the overall setting and promise of fortunes to make your dreams come true made it a wonderful DLC for me.

It could work, but it will sure as hell make the earlygame troublesome. No need to worry about crits as much, but those enemies are going to hurt even more. It does give the most balanaced offensive mods with +2str and mag at least. But really, in Luna+ any flaw/asset combo is still suicide so regardless of what you pick you can still expect to reset about 50 times per chapter.

And I chose +def because its always been my favorite flaw anyway, it just so happens that it breaks normal and hard difficulties (lunatic less so because more competent magic users scare MU, but this applies to everyone that doesnt have a res magic or hp asset). I kind of am just attached to it as my MUs asset now and dont see myself changing it anytime soon.


Okay, this is getting off topic. I'm just going to make an FE:A thread.

[Pike]

I was going to play DuckTales Remastered but turns out it doesn't have an in-game volume control which meant I couldn't hear Mister Adequate over Skype while I played :colbert: What sort of game doesn't have an in-game volume control, really?

Anyways I ended up playing Awesomenauts online multiplayer instead. It's easily got one of the better online communities I've seen, which is impressive.

Yeah, that's my feeling too. I got a big Bioshock vibe from it; a lot of misguided ambition that just ended in ruin. I though I had heard people didn't like it, but I don't really know why, other than it being difficult.

I finally downloaded DMC off the PSN and I love the game so much. I'm going to have to grab Bayonetta soon, too. I like where they took this game, especially because I thought 4 was boring and way too colorful and didn't have the dark story I felt the others had.

Ah Victoria 2, why are you so, so very addicting.

I reunited all of Scandinavia into one country and now I'm just working on teching up and trying to go as full industry as possible. Got accidentally dragged into a war against the USA at some point... :redface: had to console command my way out of that one, eheheh.

[TrollHunter]

Doing a facial hair only run of Fire Emblem 8.
This is the same challenge as found on serenesforest.

I'm restricted to 6 total units.
Gilliam
Moulder THE BOULDER
Garcia
Dussel
Gerik
And Dozla

This should be interesting. Magic is going to be an issue.

[Vermachtnis]

Playing Ys Seven. Going back to it after playing Memories of Celceta I had to remember there is no Flash Step so running up to an enemy and dodging at the last second is really, really dumb. But on the bright side, Triangle brings up the item menu so healing is easy.

[Pike]

Started playing Dark Souls again. My first experience with it several months ago wasn't so hot so I decided to give it another try. So far it's just an exercise in frustration but I shall persevere!

Just finished Batman Arkham Origins. w00t! w00t!

[Shaibana]

Holy moly!! i made it passed

demons gate
*dramatic music*

it actually wasnt that hard as i thought :3
first i grinded to lvl 40. it doesnt take that long since a limit break easely takes down 1000-1500 HP, and getting a limit break isnt that hard at this boss :D

Been marathoning the Final Fantasy main series, but I'm taking a breather and playing Castlevania 3 and DBZ: Buuyuu Retsuden.

It's interesting to note that the "Multiple Hits" system used in the first three games in the series was curtailed in 4, and all but abandoned in FF5 onward. I guess it stopped testing well? Or perhaps it's simply a side effect of introducting the ATB. Anyhoo, I'm right up to the basement of Baron Castle, about to fight Beigan.

FF-X(2) ?

[Loony BoB]

I finished Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations. I started Assassin's Creed III, too, and have got some way in. So far, of the five AC games I've played, Brotherhood is my favourite. I feel it had the right balance between everything. Revelations tried to expand a little too far in some things and sacrificed other things that I felt were still important. It still had great stuff to it, but I just didn't feel anything was balanced just right. It was trying to be too much of everything and ended up achieving little.

I worry that ACIII is heading in that direction, too. There is so much to do that it distracts a lot from the storyline. I find myself more interested in growing my homestead and hunting animals than I am in progressing the storyline. I feel they have mixed two games into a single game with this, and I don't think it works. I love large, open worlds, but only if I have a story-driven purpose for that large, open world. Instead I have a world that feels far, far too large for the game's story (maybe that will change, I don't know, but if it does it's poorly paced and if it doesn't it's poorly designed), and a lot more fun doing the exploring and village-growing than I do taking part in a history lesson. And in this game, unlike the previous games, it really does feel like much more of a history lesson.

Benjamin Franklin and his Almanac? Boston Tea Party? Really? I admit that I liked that I loved the end of the Boston Tea Party where I drop the last crate while giving Mr. Bad Guy a cold stare, but overall I miss the charm and passion of the Italian characters rather than the focus on the history of America. I still enjoy ACIII despite these things, though, and I in particular like those things I have mentioned (hunting/homestead) along with the tree-branch travel which is great fun at times. I'm not hugely fond of the combat system, which I do feel Brotherhood and Revelations were better at, but I like the new weapons.

I also got bored last night and really was looking for a way to kind of... tick through time gaming while listening to my own music. Over the past month mental fatigue has left me not wanting to play FFXIV (although I still look forward to getting back into it, I just want it to be when I'm ready), so after a little wishing I still had my old 386 and all it's games (I don't want to have to pay for them again!), I opted to open up Football Manager 2012 again. Played a game with Eyeson F.C., lost, got annoyed at how the naming convention I used made it so hard to tell who was what in the game... and then got an idea. Opened up my old FC United game (which is about ten seasons in, I'd just finally got a PL title in that game), saved under a new file name and... promptly resigned, removed almost ever league and went on holiday for a season. I thought to myself "You know, it'll be interesting to see what it's like to go for a really low league club as a PL title winnig manager." Let's see how long I last with this venture...

[NeoCracker]

Picked Borderlands 2 up again since it was free on PS+, as well as the last couple DLC campaigns, the PSycho (Who I didn't like playing as it turns out. :p) and the Ultimate Vault Hunters Pack, I'll get the second one in a couple weeks.

[Pete for President]

Finally reunited with my PS3 after 8 months of absence! Playing Dark Souls of course, but I also want to play Deus Ex:HR, Vagrant Story and Metal Gear Solid 1! DILEMMA'S :eek:

[Ayen]

Next on the agenda is Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.

[TrollHunter]

The Bravely Default Demo...

This game lets you turn off experience/job points/money gain and even lets you toggle the frequency of random encounters (or remove them entirely).

The initial difficulty of the demo is ridiculous, but once you get some levels and equipment and figure out the brave/default mechanics it becomes a lot more manageable and quite enjoyable.

I'll definitely be picking this game up.

[Crop]

Since I've been away and all I've had is my laptop, I've finally got a few PC games. The only PC games I've ever played were Deus Ex and the original Shogun: Total War (yeah it was that long ago).

A friend gave me Age of Empires 3 which is pretty good, and Civ V which I'm also enjoying. I also have Empire: Total War, but I don't think any Total War game can compare to the overwhelming nostalgia I have for Shogun.

Anyone got any recommendations of a decent PC game I can download from Steam? I have another month to kill and I'm open to suggestions.

[Pike]

If you liked the original Deus Ex then Human Revolution is very good.

I thoroughly enjoyed HR, I had it for the PS3.

I'd say turn based, strategy games are what I'm looking for at the moment. Normally I wouldn't have a problem helping myself to games, but PC gaming is something I haven't followed...ever, I only just got myself a Steam account! So I'd appreciate any suggestions you could give.

[Bolivar]

Check out Might & Magic Heroes/Heroes of Might & Magic games.

If you are looking for something a la Civ then Endless Space is pretty polished. As is Galactic Civilizations II. Both are similar to Civ, but in space! Fallen Enchantress is supposed to be very good although I haven't played it yet.

Alternatively, there's XCOM Enemy Unknown, which is more of a turn based tactics than a turn based strategy, but it's very good.

[Pumpkin]

I am playing
Atelier Meruru
Suikoden II
Final Fantasy II
The Sims 3 Pets

[Ayen]

KOTOR II.

People always think they can take me and then... BAM! Right in the kisser.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

Super Mario 3D World :D.

This game is so good. It makes me think back to the days of Mario 3 and Mario World with the excellent level design and the amount of creativity seen in the game. The soundtrack is pretty excellent too as opposed to the New Super Mario Bros games in which the music gets stale pretty quickly. I'm also working on playing through the Special stages in the original Mario World which is fun.

I'm also playing Sonic Lost World. I liked it when I first started playing it, but it pales in comparison to the Mario game. It's still fun for a modern Sonic game though.

[Crop]

Awesome, thanks for all the game tips guys. I'll look into them and see which ones take my fancy. I have to say that XCOM one seems great.

[Vermachtnis]

The Bravely Default demo had me wanting to play a class based game and I ain't beat Final Fantasy III, so I've been playing that. Refia is my DPS, Ingus is my tank, Luneth is my elemental DPS, and Arc is my healer.

[Denmark]

Flappy Bird. dear god why

[Edge7]

Playing through MGS3 on Expert. It's my first time through on this difficulty, so we'll see how far I get. (I'm right before the Fear).

I have my copy of the Resident Evil Remake staring right at me. I've been dying to play it for weeks, but I'm caught in this intense cycle of waiting til nightfall and then something else pops up.

One day...

[DanielCLFFF13]

After about 1 year bought Dead Space 2, I finally finished it. That game is very scary. Now playing State of Decay Breakdown.

[Jiro]

Flappy Bird. dear god why

help me

[krissy]

@bob: i liked brotherhood least of the ezio trilogy. the LEAST. terrible engine imo. downfall from ac2. havent played 3 yet.. we'll see.

@daniel: i loved dead space 2, so crazy. i think i found dead space 1 scarier, cause ds2 didn't really introduce very many scary things. except for the friggin elementary school that was atrociously creepy.

i just started RE5, just cause i have it. pretty ridonkulous so far. i cant take any of it seriously. i remeber re4 being kind of scary and tense, but this one is just kind of boring so far.

[Botchmun]

with myself OH MY! I just picked up Dark Souls... OH BOY! OH WOW!

[Bubba]

Flappy Bird. dear god why

help me

I have actually chewed off one of my own arms in sheer frustration at this game... yet I am still able to play.

[TrollHunter]

with myself OH MY! I just picked up Dark Souls... OH BOY! OH WOW!

One of us... one of us... one of us....

OT: Cave Story for the 3ds. I have it on steam, but by god does this game work perfectly on the DS. It's perfect for short bursts of gameplay and walking around, and im already nearing the "final" boss fights on normal mode prior to hell after like 5 hours of gameplay.

I also started a hard mode run... oh boy. This is interesting.
I'm enjoying it a HELL of a lot more than my lunatic+ run of FE: Awakening though. This is purely execution based, no luck involved at all, and since the controls in cave story are super tight it makes for a very exciting time. Now, I am just in grasslands though... so we'll see how I feel once this game actually gets difficult in the next level.

[Pike]

Played through an entire game of Victoria II which is kind of an accomplishment for me because I usually end up with ADD halfway through. I had an absolutely horrifying Europe by the time I was done.

I mean really, it was awful (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ei5rl13fqw6jdvl/rate%20my%20europe.PNG). The purple dong shape is Slovakia.

I have since moved on to Europa Universalis IV (as Naples) and SMAC (as Best Faction, aka University)

This is why you can't have anything nice.

[TrollHunter]

Took a small break from cave story hard mode after getting stuck at Monster X (screw that guy).

Picked up Mega Man 2 on the 3ds E-Shop and this game is brutalizing me. I'll be sure to return the favor in due time.

Also, I picked up Persona 3 FES on amazon. I hope it comes in by this weekend. I am so pumped to play this game.

[Sephiroth]

Nothing until Thursday, then Lightning Returns and afterwards Final Fantasy X-2 HD.

[Shauna]

Time to power on to Kirby's Adventure Wii and try and play more Disgaea. :}

Finished Disgaea (took less time than I thought) and Kirby's Adventure Wii (which took about 5 days). Currently getting through FF13-2, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, and aiding Matt in the quest to complete FF6.

[Ayen]

Eternal Darkness and Final Fantasy II.

[Pike]

Europa Universalis IV. As the Aztecs. Gonna destroy all the other natives and then destroy the Europeans. :plotting: This despite my major tech disadvantage!

[Sephex]

SFII. No, not Street Fighter II. Shining Force II! Why would you think Street Fighter? Are you an idiot!? GET AWAY FROM ME!!!

[Slothy]

Metro: Last Light.

Single barrel shotgun with a silencer? Don't mind if I do.

[Ayen]

I am currently in the process of stalling on installing Amnesia: The Dark Descent for the PC.

Edit: I just remembered I already had it installed. Haha, silly me. *makes a run for it*

[Bubba]

I'm flitting between GTA V, The Last of Us and Metal Gear Solid 2 HD on my Vita.

The latter is getting the most playtime at the minute. Raiden isn't quite as irritating as I remember when I had my PS2. Although, the voice acting in GTA and TLOU is light years ahead of MGS2. It just sounds really cheesy now (except David Hayter).

[Shaibana]

not doing much at the moment :l spend most of my gameing time on The Last of Us multiplayer.
but tonight im going to train my FF7 team and have another attempt to beat Schizo.
and i have no idea what to do with XIII, im stuck at (the 1st) Barthandulus and i am not looking forward for another 15 minute battle that i wont win :l

i finished Crisis Core... now im really sad

[Shoeberto]

I'm officially done with New Vegas. Lonesome Road was good. It's weird how little I seem to care about the various themes that show up in the game until I actually reflect on them. When I got to the end with Ulysses, I thought, "cool, alright, well that was a lame ending for all the exposition." But it really wasn't, in reality the whole thing was a great exploration of the themes of Fallout, the story of the Courier, and the nature of people and society.

That said, Fallout goes back on to my virtual shelf again. I feel like I've gotten as full an experience as I wanted from it until I decide to randomly explore the Mojave once more. What a great game, though - a serious slow burn that has been stuck in my head for over a year now, despite its surface similarities to FO3 (which I loved but had some serious burnout from it).

Next on the docket is Mass Effect 3. I bought it in November(ish) and have yet to play it proper. I'm disappointed there's no controller support in the PC version - wtg, EA. I also hate hate hate Origin. But I loved ME2 and am seriously excited to get back into the universe of it.

Oh, there's also FF Tactics in there, sometimes. It's as difficult as I remember it and I'm trying to get into a flow, but I'm still stuck on like the fourth battle.

[Ayen]

Finished with Amnesia earlier than expected so I'm getting started on Mass Effect. Cmd Tori Shepard doesn't believe in makeup.

Cmd Tori Shepard looks terrible.

[TrollHunter]

Persona 3 FES...
After like a day of playing im at floor 25 in the tartarus and I finished midterms.
This game... its so good. The guardians in tartarus can be a royal pain though since I dont like to grind. Every one I've beaten has been purely because they decided to not 1-2 round the MC.

[Sephiroth]

Now that I am done with Lightning Returns in German Final Fantasy X-2 HD again.

[escobert]

DayZ Standalone and DayZ Mod! :bigsmile:

[Bolivar]

Titanfall beta on PC XD

It's... interesting. I highly recommend checking it out for anyone interested, the minimum requirements are very low and the game is very accommodating to achieve a stable framerate above all else.

Final Fantasy XIV and Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma!

I want to play FF XIV so badly, but my PC is not good enough for smooth gameplay. So I am sticking with Aion for now, still playing it after 5 years. xd

[Shaibana]

FF7, i feel that im reaching the end :(

FF13, its on a hold right now, becaus i cant motivate myself yet to give that boss another try

Last of Us, multiplayer, it never bores me ^^

[Vermachtnis]

Been playing Borderlands 2. Mostly been playing as Maya and using the Cataclysm Tree. Been playing co-op alot with my roommate.

[krissy]

maya's the best
b2 is amazing
too bad i dont play it as much as i should

instead i started the last of us
which was heartbreaking for the first half hour
but now im just annoyed at the clicker deaths

[Gamblet]

Lots of SMITE. I just unlocked Hades, the skills are epic.

[Shoeberto]

Mass Effect 3 - I remember now why I totally lost myself in the second one. The gameplay is tight, the characters are well-developed, and the worldbuilding completely resonates with me.

Continuing on with FFT. I think the game is finally clicking for me. I definitely took way too simplistic of an approach previously that made things a lot harder. I'm actually able to make progress now!

[Skyblade]

Lots of SMITE. I just unlocked Hades, the skills are epic.

Wanted to try Smite, but the installer just sits around downloading at 1/3rd complete forever.

Tomb Raider is next on the agenda.

[DanielCLFFF13]

Currently playing The Last Remnant PC version of course. I missed a lot of quest and can't go back. Guess gonna finish it in my second playthrough. But it's a long way to go, I'm not even sure if I'm close to the end or not. Only one quest that made me stuck on that quest and trying to find it's requirement which is Amnesia quest.

[NeoCracker]

Come morning, it shall be time for Thief.

[Ayen]

Beat the first three levels of Tomb Raider yesterday. Holy trout a T-Rex!

[Loony BoB]

Just finished The Last of Us. Damn. Great game, interesting ending and my biggest gripe is that I completed the game on Normal Mode and it says I have a whopping 5% of the achievements. Checked the list of achievements... yeah, screw that. =|

[Dalkaen]

Currently playing the Origins version of Final Fantasy II. After owning Origins for something like 10 years, I finally started it about a week ago. I blew through FF1 and enjoyed it for the most part. I'm not sure why it took me so many attempts over the years. FF2 is pretty odd, especially for the standards of the series, but I think it's interesting to play it for the perspective it grants me for the series as a whole if nothing else.

[Shaibana]

i am raising and training my 3rd pokemon party in Pokemon-X

this party does not go as smooth as the previous 2, becaus of the difference in levels
when i started with this team thhe lowest was lvl 1 and the highest lvl 50 xD

[Ayen]

Metroid Prime. So far I see why this is considered a perfect transition from 2D to 3D.

[Loony BoB]

Just finished Gone Home. Now that was excellent storytelling for a small and simple game. Really glad I played it. =]

[Sephiroth]

Beyond: Two Souls.

[Robb]

After it sitting there in a collector's box for a good six months-year I decided to play FFXIII-2. Serah is annoying. Noel is worse.

[Shorty]

Limbo! I am loving this game!

I have too many to play right now. Still making progress in Fallout 3, and I haven't touched FFIX in a while.

I've bought so many games from sales in the last few months and they just sit on my digital shef collecting dust.

[Slothy]

Just finished Gone Home. Now that was excellent storytelling for a small and simple game. Really glad I played it. =]

It really was an exceptional bit of story telling and atmosphere creating.

Pokemon X
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy X-2

Those are the ones I'm focusing on most right now. I have some others on the back burner.

[NeoCracker]

Sleep tonight, stick of truth in the morning!

[Vermachtnis]

I downloaded Kid Icarus: Uprising. Palutina is awesome. I've just finished Chapter 3, but I'm pretty sure I have to watch out for her more than Medusa. Using pheromones to attract the boss was a good idea, but a heads up woulda been nice. Get it? Heads up! Cause the boss was a dragon's head! And it feel from the sky! Man, I'm hilarious, ya'll don't know.

The controls are hard to get used to though. When TwoBestFriends said Liam hurt his wrist playing this, I was like how? But halfway through Chapter 1 I was like oh. And does giving Palutina hearts do anything? It says it doesn't, but most of the time when a game tells you to not bother, you should bother. Except for that chest in Chapter 2, that was totally a trap.

[Pete for President]

Just finished another Deus Ex: Human Revolution playthrough. What a gem.

Wondering if I can squeeze in a Metal Gear Solid playthrough before Dark Souls 2 comes out next week. HYPE :greenie:

[Unbreakable Will]

I've been traipsing through Civilizations (the one for platform) and I've found it fun but lacking in comparison to the PC version's complexity.

I've also been going through my New Game+ on Dark Souls, keeping my wits and skills in top form for Dark Souls II release on the 11th.

[Botchmun]

Now, I know you kids and your animes, but I'm talking about 3050.

I'm talkin' bout my Mechwarrior collection. Add in Mechwarrior online and you got my schedule for the next few months.

Replaying Pokemon Gold. Not even the remake - the original. Having a blast! I have always had a soft spot for second gen. I love the way you can go back to Kanto and re-beat all the gyms from the original game.

Pikmin 3! Those cute little bastards are hogging my sleep hours...

[I Took the Red Pill]

Just got started on Ico. It's a little slow, but we shall see if it gets good.Oh, it does. One of those totally immersive games with little context. The mysterious feeling is palpable and stays with you from the beginning to the end. Graphics still look beautiful and it was released very early in the PS2's lifetime. A truly unique experience, enjoy.

[Vermachtnis]

Started Persona 4 Golden. I'm about to start the Kanji arc. So far I am loving it. It fixes two things I didn't like the first time around: you can pick what skills to inherit, saving a lot of time and, more importantly, you can rearrange your skills. I also like how the costumes are in a completely different slot from the rest of the equipment.

[Mo-Nercy]

Still going with Ingress - despite the mounting costs of petrol, extra mobile data and countless beers with teammates.

Also, Antichamber for the first time. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Playing Metal Gear Solid until Dark Souls 2 arrives in the mail.

[materia dealer]

Batman Arkham Origins: bought it a few months back and I've just finally got around to playing it. I'm having fun with it so far:thumbsup:.

[Dalkaen]

I'm still playing Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light. The final boss is extremely tough. I've already shuffled my party composition a number of times. I have to go through like 8 floors of dungeon to get to the guy every time I lose, too...

[Shaibana]

im suppose to contineu playing FF7 and FF13
but i feel like doing neither of them

at FF7 i entered the crater, after half an hour i got to a boss that easely defeats me without any savepoint :l
so now ill have to walk that whole road again without guarantee of succes!

same goes for FF13 .. im at a bossfight and bosses in FF13 sometimes take so much time..
so ill be fighting half an hour, only to be killed in the end :l

[DanielCLFFF13]

Just finished Final Fantasy 8. Still missed a lot of items and some quests I guess. Really want to play other Final Fantasy games :(

[Dalkaen]

Finally finished 4 Heroes of Light. Starting up Bravely Default now. This game has gorgeous graphics.

[Sephiroth]

Atelier Escha and Logy.

The Longest Journey. Currently looking for Cortez in Metro City. Fiona is awesome!

[Pete for President]

Dark Souls 2 and nothing else. BRING IT

[Bolivar]

Beat my first run at metal gear ground zeroes on ps4 last night it was pretty dope!

[Jiro]

Played a little bit of Tales of Xillia last night. Might have to try and polish that off. Also dabbling in Mount & Blade: Warband again with the new update to the Clash of Kings mod, and Football Manager is always there, lurking. I bought a couple new games in one of those indiegala sales so I have those to play through too.

[Bolivar]

Infamous Second Son :D

The gameplay is pure bliss and the acting is surprisingly superb. Between this and Metal Gear in the same week, along with all the free indie titles on PS+, the PS4 is totally hitting its stride right now

[NeoCracker]

I wish I had more time to play, but I too am playing through Second Son!

I can clear out districts pretty fast though, I have 3-4 cleared, Rank 3 Good Karma, and a lot of upgrades already. :p

[Karifean]

Final Fantasy X HD Remaster on the PS3.

My plan to play X-2 first shattered when I started X along with a friend of mine who's never played it. Oh well.

[Bolivar]

I finished Gravity Rush for PS Vita and it was great - totally unique and charming. My only complaint is they didn't use the gravity shifting for platforming enough, most of the time it was just used to fly like a super hero. But it was a very classy game and they nailed the Studio Ghibli aesthetic. I like how a lot of these Vita games make full use of the system and all its inputs, its reminiscent of early DS titles although more subtle and perhaps a bit more successful.

[Quindiana Jones]

Sleeping Dogs. It's really good. Really. I'm surprised at how good it is. The side mission and other stuff are all well-designed and don't get boring, which is quite the novelty in open world games.

Also dabbling in AC4, which has the greatest feature in any game I've ever seen: a fully customisable HUD. THANK YOU, UBISOFT. :love:

[TrollHunter]

Ys: The Oath in Felghana
Just started tonight and I must say... It's really fun.
I'm at the first boss and its hard, but its really enjoyable and there's no downtime in between attempts which keeps it fun and not frustrating.
Also, the music kicks all sorts of ass. Really liking this so far and I only just started. It feels like a less clunky version of Star Ocean 2 with better writing and that is a very nice vibe to be getting.

[Bolivar]

Finally spent a chunk of time playing Path of Exile and was delightfully surprised to find it's everything I hoped it would be :)

[Rostum]

Taking a little break from FFXIV to play some Diablo 3, FFX/X-2 HD, and I just recieved my 3DS XL and Bravely Default. So I hope to play that soon too. But I barely have any time...

[Dalkaen]

Playing Dragon Quest II after having recently finished DQ1. I'd like to play through a big chunk of this series in the next few weeks.

Which versions/platforms are you playing?

[NeoCracker]

Not sure how long I'll be playing Witch and the Hundred Knight.

The story is and characters are pretty damn funny if you're into that NISA style of humor, though the combat is pretty lacking. Pretty simple and basic Action RPG, and the class/whatever it was called switching and subjobs is pretty neat, though isn't really adding enough to a pretty basic system.

And so far the lack of ability to change weapon sets without chaning each individual piece is disheartening, since you'll need to do it any time you fight an enemy resistant to the types of weapons you are using. (You equip up to five at a time, so it can get tedius changing them out.)

[escobert]

Arma II: Operation Arrowhead: DayZ mod Epoch

[Ayen]

WWF Attitude is next on the agenda.

[NeoCracker]

Finally got to Atelier Escha and Logy, and it's pretty damn good. The combat has taken a step forward and back from Ayesha, and the writing isn't quite as good as it so far. Mostly in that our lead characters aren't as interesting as Ayesha was, but on a whole it's a damn fine game! See how much longer till I beat this one!

[Shaibana]

Final fantasy X
and me and my bf started making a farm on minecraft.. lol

[Miss Mae]

Seriously: Might and Magic X Legacy.
Not seriously: I may or may not have accidentally bought Goat Simulator.

[Mons]

Assassin's Creed 1

[Slothy]

Just got Rocksmith 2014 today. Looking forward to putting some serious time into that.

[Ayen]

Assassin's Creed III. I got done early with my review of WWF Attitude and decided to get a head start on the next game. I have but only one thing to say so far.

Q!

[Kalevala]

Goat Simulator was entertaining for 30 minutes or so. After that it really loses steam. To be fair, even the developers recommend you don't buy it.

Wow... That's disappointing.

I still need to get back to ACIII. I'm at a part I'm not too crazy about playing through.

[Kalevala]

To be expected, I suppose. It's not as if the developers gave us a false impression of what the game was going to be like. I'd love it if they could somehow turn this idea into a full-length release.

[Sephiroth]

The Last of Us.

[Wolf Kanno]

I am still playing Suikoden Tactics, it's not a bad game but I am having issues just getting into it. I think if I look up the last time I posted in here I will find out I was actually playing this game back then as well. :(

[Vermachtnis]

Started back playing Kid Icarus: Uprising. Still fun as hell.

[Miss Mae]

I think one of my favourite parts about this game is the developers' obvious awareness that it is terrible. The selling points listed on Steam are hilarious.




You can be a goat
Get points for wrecking stuff - brag to your friends that you're the alpha goat
Steam Workshop support - make your own goats, levels, missions, game modes, and more!
MILLIONS OF BUGS! We're only eliminating the crash-bugs, everything else is hilarious and we're keeping it
In-game physics that spazz out all the time
Seriously look at that goat's neck
You can be a goat

The Last of Us.

Lucky! I had that game since December and I still haven't had time to play it.

[Slothy]

Make time. :colbert:

I plan to review it in the Summer :doublecolbert:

[Jiro]

Summer can't come soon enough then.

[Slothy]

Yeah, what he said. I mean for god's sake, Jiro could be eaten by some form of Australian wildlife before you get your review out. Do you want that? Do you want him to be eaten by a spider before he reads your review? Because I don't want that.

[Ayen]

Nice try! Jedi don't get eaten. Jedi die in terribly dramatic fashion or lose their hands in even more terribly dramatic ways and then get married in secret.

[Slothy]

There is nothing in that galaxy far, far, away that can compare to the dangers of Australian wild life.

[Kalevala]

I think one of my favourite parts about this game is the developers' obvious awareness that it is terrible.

Oh, absolutely. Like I said, it's not as if the game was falsely advertised.

I don't know if you could call it "replay value," but the game's entertainment value endures in that watching other people play it for the first time is just as hilarious.

[Miss Mae]

That's very true. I've watched Pewdie and Tobuscus play and it was hilarious. The unlockables are pretty outrageous too - becoming a "tall goat" is the most pointless, glitchy thing ever. There was a lot of shouting "WHY!?" and laughing uncontrollably at my screen when I found things like that.

[Kalevala]

Pewdie's stuff is hilarious. He recently uploaded a Goat Simulator mods video. They're so hilariously awful.

[Miss Mae]

It runs out of content pretty quickly, but I still feel like the money I spent was well worth it for the laughs. Might have to revisit it next time I've had a few drinks to see if it becomes more hilarious for me.

[Vermachtnis]

Back to playing Etrian Odyssey IV. I haven't played in a few months so I forgot how to play. It's okay, I'm sure it'll come back to me while I'm exploring. Let's just open up this door and a mini-boss. Two turns in and he's poisoned, his arms are bound, and he's below 50% health. Us on the other hand, the only one who took damage was a Fortress/Dancer who is fully healed. Yup now I remember, my team is broken as fuck. The three in the back do all the work, while the two up front soak up damage. Poor Logre didn't stand a chance.

[Quindiana Jones]

I have returned to Oblivion and am doing efficient levelling (5-5-1) because I've never done it before. I actually really want to play Skyrim, but it's slightly IN CHINESE, so I had to abandon that project. :(

The obvious solution here is to learn Chinese.

[Quindiana Jones]

Cao ni ma. Pretend there are tonal indicators.

The solution I chose was the give my sister £80 and have her send the Legendary edition with all the DLC over to me from England, along with Dark Souls 2. I should check on her progress, because she may not appreciate how important it is that I finally make my Ebony Blade wielding 100% Shout reduction samurai master character. :colbert:

[Miss Mae]

Yeah, get on that. You don't want her slacking off. That needs to be shipped to you immediately and delivered express.

[Bolivar]

Quin have you ever tried Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul? A lot of people swear by it to fix and enhance the gameplay and I'm curious for reactions.

[Quindiana Jones]

If only I lived in a universe in which I had a computer that could play games. :(

[Ayen]

StarCraft II Wings of Liberty is now on the agenda.

[Jiro]

If only I lived in a universe in which I had a computer that could play games. :(

One day, son. Think of all the sweet chinese cash you're saving.

[Noctis Caelum]

There's no recent pickups thread, so I wanted to share my robbery somewhere that seemed relevant.

Last copy in stores too. Checked every other store and they still have it for $60.

[krissy]

well
guess i gotta check out a nearby staples
thanks!

[Shaibana]

i stilln want to get that game, but im not exactly hyped about it. so ill wait till i can get it under 20 euros

[Ayen]

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty
Game of Thrones Ascent.

Had to pull myself away from the latter to get more done on the former.

[Wolf Kanno]

Killing time on Shin Megami Tensei IV until school gets out. Mostly post-game stuff like some DLC missions and completing the Compendium.

[Pike]

Pokemon Gold (still)

FFX (the original because I don't have a PS3)

My gaming time has been slim recently. THANKS JOB. AND WRITING. I JUST WANT TO PLAY GAMES, NOT MAKE MONEY. :nonono:

Sleep is for the weak.

[Vermachtnis]

I've been playing Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls on the GBA. I started with the first one. And it's really easy, like easy easy. Easier then easy mode on Origins. Which is kind of a let down. Probably going to play Lunar: Silver Star Harmony or Trails in the Sky after I beat this. I've been neglecting my original PSP.

Sadly you need the moneys for the games.

[Pete for President]

Vagrant Story and it's awesome.

[Ayen]

Final Fantasy VII.

[Skyblade]

I finally beat Bravely Default. It was an amazingly satisfactory ending. I hope Bravely Second is just as good. ...And that it will get localized a little faster.

[NeoCracker]

Still playing through 'Conception 2', though I should have beaten the damn thing by now had it now been for my two weeks straight of work. :mad:

Regardless, I'm nearing the end, and it's pretty great!

[Bolivar]

PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate HD and Stealth Inc. on Vita. The former is better than ever and the latter is a very polished, very fun indie stealth platformer with some killer music.

I also booted up a game of FFI Origins on Vita as well. Playing normal difficulty and made a save with F/T/WM/BM. I'm thinking of doing something slightly different, though, like a black belt, two red mages and a white mage. Idk.

[metagloria]

Blasting through a New Game+ of Lightning Returns (going to try to kill all the Last Ones), and slowly working on my first play of Majora's Mask.

On the docket: Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy, X|X-2 HD, and Bravely Default.

[Loony BoB]

I've been playing Borderlands 2 co-op with Danielle, it's quite fun, if a little slow at times. :)

[Bubba]

A bit late to the party but me and Sophie just started on Pokemon X.

It's her first taste of a Pokemon game and we're both really enjoying it! We opted to go with Chespin to start and Sophie was chuffed when we found Pikachu. We used Farfetched to take down the first gym leader and just got Charmander from Professor Sycamore in Lumiose City. If anyone wants to trade a load of amazing pokemon to us then that would be great!

I can trade you a Shiny Gulpin if you want it. Call it a gift :D

As for me, I've just ordered Lightning Returns, so I guess I'll be playing that for now. It's the last in the series for me, so I couldn't not purchase it. I hope it's good. I'd be disappointed if it ends on a low note.

[Bubba]

I can trade you a Shiny Gulpin if you want it. Call it a gift :D

Aww man, that would be awesome, thanks! My 3DS code is 0516-8330-2725. Anyone else who wants to add me and give me awesome stuff, feel free!

Mr. Haut, we'll happily trade you our level 3 Weedle. What he lacks in hit points, strength, speed and defence he makes up for in... in err... other stuff.

Ah gee man, thanks. I've always wanted a weedle (Even though I have mine evolved to a Beedrill anyway)

I actually caught the Gulpin incredibly early in the game, considering how rare shinies are. Aren't I a nice friend. ;)

[Vermachtnis]

I was going to play Lunar, but I got distracted by Skyrim. I was doing the Dawnguard quests, but got to the part where I needed to collect two Elder Scrolls. One was easy enough, but the other is the one from the end of the main quest. And I was still on the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller, so I started doing the main quest line again. One thing lead to another and I ended up winning the Civil War for the Imperials. Anyway I actually started the main questline and now I'm on The Throat of the World, which if I remember from the time I actually finished the main quest, that's like one or two quests away from the Elder Scroll and after I get that, back to the Dawnguard Quests.

On the bright side, all this wondering around as let Serana see a lot of what she's missed.

[Pike]

I ended up winning the Civil War for the Imperials.

You made the right choice :up:

Anyways I've been playing all sorts of stuff. Pokemon, FFX, TES I: Arena, Crusader Kings 2... kind of flitting about trying to decide what I really want to dig into next.

[Vermachtnis]

I ended up winning the Civil War for the Imperials.

You made the right choice :up:


I always pick the Imperials. I picked the Stormcloaks once and felt like a huge asshole for taking over Whiterun, especially when Jarl Bargruuf is one of the nice ones. Same with Jarl Elisif. That and Solitude is my favorite place in the game.

[Miss Mae]

Recently restarted FFXII.

Also playing a little sim on the computer called The Promised Land at the moment when I need a break from writing.

[Vermachtnis]

I downloaded Muramasa Rebirth for my Vita cause it's Golden Week or something. I'm playing as Momohime on Chaos Difficulty and so far having a blast. The fighting is really fun and par for the course, the visuals are gorgeous and the soundtrack is awesome.

[Bolivar]

^ Yeah lots of good Vita sales right now. Wanna pick something up but I'm already going back and forth between like 4 games on the system lol.

One of which is FFI Origins. My party is Red Mage, Black Belt, Thief, and White Mage. Played the game so many times, this is a very different lineup from what I'm used to. Still playing Stealth Bastard and Pixeljunk Monsters. Also checked out Destiny of Spirits, a very unique card game that incorporates your system's location settings. It's a very innovative Vita game and is free in beta if anyone wants to check it out.

[Depression Moon]

I've recently been playing a lot of NBA Jam on Fire Edition. It has the feel of the original while also being modern. The commentary is just as good as the original and the team roster is fantastic. I'm maining the democrats right now. Al Gore is op.

[Kalevala]

My new room-mates and I are all playing through various Pokemon games. I chose SoulSilver. Digging it so far. Silver was my introduction to the series so this has been a pretty nostalgic experience.

[Bolivar]

^ kinda scary how good those DS remakes were.

[Slothy]

I just finished Tales of Symphonia and have moved on to some Saints Row 4.

[TrollHunter]

Semi-competitive Melee
lots and lots of melee

[Kalevala]

^ kinda scary how good those DS remakes were.

No kidding. I'm usually not one for remakes, but god damn. Square Enix could learn a lesson in how to correctly refine and polish a classic.

[Karifean]

Steins;Gate

Best. Protagonist. Ever.
