What are you playing right now?

[DMKA]

Resident Evil 6

It's uhh...it's a thing. o__o

[Del Murder]

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was amazing. Improved on the gameplay of AC2 in every way and added a bunch of new features that were actually really fun and not just there for the sake of new features. The story and breadth of the game was no where near AC2's level, but having your own team of assassin's to control causes you to forget about that.

Next up is Game of the Year candidate Mass Effect 3. I'm excited!

[Gamblet]

Next up is Game of the Year candidate Mass Effect 3. I'm excited!

I just started the first one, it seems interesting. I am not quite used to the gameplay yet..

[Futan]

Psychonauts! Starting on FFI after I'm finished with it. Also throwing in FIFA '13 here and there still. :x

Resident Evil 6

its a good game ಠ_ಠ

[Wolf Kanno]

Finally started The Last Story, this game has some really intriguing game mechanics and design. The cast so far has been really likable and I love the party banter. The battle system is very different from what most people would expect from a JRPG but I like it even if it is a bit rough around the edges. The only complaints so far is that some of the standard NPC moving animations feel really robotic, I'm not sure if trying to animate teeth was a good choice, and the game feels very ambitious but hindered by lack of resources (either money or skill). Time will tell how it's all going to go down, but for the most part I like it. The plot so far feels like something out of a Suikoden game.

In the meantime, I am continuing my Zelda kick by playing A Link to the Past, which has been a blast, this game has aged beautifully and I enjoy that the dungeons are not the time sinks they would become in later entries.

On the PSP, I'm alternating from FFTactics WotL, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Both games are great but my own OCD tendencies burn me out between entries so I have to alternate to keep variety and interest going.

[Nicolas]

Just finished Sleeping Dogs and Portal (for what's got to be the 5th time). Now balancing between They Bleed Pixels and Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone. So far, I've enjoyed everything. Probably gonna try to balance those two with Scribblenauts Unlimited. Should be fun.

[Kossage]

I've enjoyed playing Guild Wars 2. It's been enjoyable so far (nice combat system which reminds me of Seiken Densetsu 3 in a good way), and I love exploring the world (plus finding secrets!), randomly teaming up with people and having crazy adventures while also learning bits of lore along the way. :)

[Elpizo]

Just got Castlevania: Symphony of the Night from the Playstation store. Having a blast playing through one of the best games ever made. And when I have to surrender the TV, I travel to Skyrim on my PC. Also a pretty great game (would be fantastic if it weren't for the two billion bugs).

[Aulayna]

In no particular order:

Borderlands 2
Sim City 4
Dishonored
League of Legends
FireFall Beta

[Loony BoB]

Far Cry 3 - so much Far Cry 3. x_x

[Shoeberto]

Still going through New Vegas when I get the chance. The holidays sucked a lot of time from me.

Did I mention me and the GF have been playing Yoshi's Island? We're halfway through world 5. I think we're gonna play Rayman Origins together after that. She also started Gran Turismo 5 which is pretty sweet. She's big into racing so I think she's getting a lot out of it.

Started Chaos Rings on my phone. It's interesting. Not sure how great it's gonna turn out but it's promising so far. Dead Space mobile plays great but is a really dumb game. Like super stupid. I wish I could get the same controls on a game that doesn't suck (GTA would be awesome).

I did a first session of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery and I love it.

Also played some coop of Saints Row The Third with a buddy and goddamn I love it. I wish the netcode wasn't so laggy. I wanna figure out how to improve it so we can actually do stuff in the city. Loved it, otherwise.

[Pike]

I'm on the biggest TES kick in the world right now and all I'm playing is Morrowind and Skyrim.

NEXT UP: Daggerfall, and modding the living daylights out of Oblivion and trying to play that

[Gamblet]

Mass Effect

Just got to Noveria, the game really took off after getting the spaceship. Before that it was quite boring to be honest.

[Pike]

Yeah you guys had better believe that I beat Morrowind so now I'm playing ARENA

[Madame Adequate]

Sim City 4
Dishonored

Yessss get in

Currently playing Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition, Morrowind, Resident Evil 6, Drox Operative, and Baldur's Gate, with some of the usual strategy stuff (Darkest Hour and SMAC). Also got FFXIII-2 for Christmas and have enjoyed it so far, but decided to rinse through Resi first for console gubbins.

[Tonberry Time]

I'm on the biggest TES kick in the world right now and all I'm playing is Morrowind and Skyrim.

NEXT UP: Daggerfall, and modding the living daylights out of Oblivion and trying to play that

I recently played Daggerfall as well, the size of that game is just mind-boggling. I always start my Elder Scrolls experiences by choosing a direction, and just walk until I run into something. Well, after walking for like 15 minutes and seeing nothing but plains and trees, I decided to check my map. That's when I realized I had moved like a pixel away from where I started on the map. And then I realized that was just the province map, not the world map. After a while I ran into a temple or something with naked women locked in the back(that was a real wtf moment), and eventually I was lost to the ages in the abyss of a ridicolously sized dungeon.

Back on topic though, right now I'm playing FFXII IZJS, and also Persona 4: Golden(best JRPG within a decade) and Dissidia Duodecim, which I bought for my Vita a week ago(great fun). I'm technically playing Mass Effect 3 as well, but I haven't touched that in a month. Just got bored with it, I guess. Could've just called it Mass Effect 2.5.

Damn, that game seems WAY big for me, I wonder how long the main quest line is...

[Shaibana]

finally found the time to play Ada's campaing @ resident evil 6...
it was quite revealing since i was a bit confused about her.

now im problably going to play all the campaigns again, but then with the other characters :D

[Loony BoB]

Platinum'ed Far Cry 3 although I may still now and again play co-op with Danielle. Now have switched my focus to Batman: Arkham City, which Danielle got me for Christmas. :D Enjoying it so far, although perhaps not to the same extent as I did Asylum... yet.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I just found a copy of Monster Rancher 3 lying around my room. I had no idea I owned this game, and I am about to play the heck out of this game.

I have never actually played this iteration of Monster Rancher, but I remember being in love with Monster Rancher 2 for the ps1 as a kid. I'd always have my sister bring it home when she worked at Babbages (now Gamestop). The day they no longer had it was one of the saddest days of my life as a kid. I hope it is as fun as I remember it being, haha.

[DMKA]

Dishonored

I'm extremely disappointed with it so far.

[Bolivar]

Oblivion gate and seriously thinking about putting this game behind me

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Dragon's Dogma.

[Formalhaut]

Right now? I'm sort of between Theathrythm Final Fantasy, Swapnoting with SoL, Faris and Proto, and Pokemon Platinum.

[Aulayna]

Well... apparently I lost 558 minutes of today to Borderlands 2 according to the Steam overlay.

[Madame Adequate]

I've been playing Resi 6, Hotline Miami, but mostly Morrowind lately. Everything else has fallen by the wayside of that last one. Even Kaiserreich barely gets a look in.


Dishonored

I'm extremely disappointed with it so far.

But it's great!

[Futan]

Played Civ5 way too long today. :x Downloaded a map for it that's laid out like Tamriel and was having fun with that. :D

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Is there such thing as a short Civ game?

[Futan]

True enough. XD

[Quindiana Jones]

Morrowind interspersed with bouts of GTA. I'll be on Fallout soon, though. :D

[Pete for President]

Just finished Hitman: Blood Money, and loved every bit of it. I think I'll go back and try to finish it on pro difficulty.

I also loved the ending mission. Such epicness.

I guess you don't level up often then.

[Madame Adequate]

100 hours over 14 days is only 7.1 hours per day. Easily enough time for sleep and work!

[Slothy]

Maybe if you give up showers and bathroom breaks.

[Cloud88]

Just finished up The Last Story there this evening. Really really good. I might go back and play NG+, but since I've spent 30 hours on this one playthrough, and I have some finals next week, I could probably spend those 30 hours in a better way. And Calista is possibly my favourite princess (she may as well be) since Garnet.

Playing Anarchy Reigns.

So far pretty fun, though I think I need to knock down the difficulty. I'm not very experienced in Beat em' Ups, and Hard mode is kicking my ass. :p

[krissy]

AC REVELATIONS

i like altair in this one but i couldn't stand him in 1, so i never finished it

OH WELL

[TrollHunter]

Finally got some reliable drivers for my 360 controller... so once I get settled in the new place I'll start playing some Ys: the oath in felghana on my pc.
Looks fun, I'm quite excited.

[Wolf Kanno]

Finished The Last Story which was a much better game than I had been led to believe, the leading characters could have been written better but the world, story, and gameplay really rocked.

Now I want to try and finally beat the original Final Fantasy III so I'm going emulation baby! Getting ready to tackle the Sealed Cave and face the Djnn.

[Pike]

I'm trying to push my way through Oblivion because I want to beat it for the lore but I'm having a terrible time getting into it. Morrowind and Skyrim I can play for hours; Oblivion not so much. I'm going to keep trying, though, because I am stubborn.

[Quindiana Jones]

My god, woman, it's not that bad. xD

[Pike]

I never said it was bad, I just said I'm having trouble getting into it :mymelbert: I dislike the character designs and general art direction and I dislike how you are shoved into the main quest before you can even begin to care about the world. It makes it difficult for me to really care about anything. I do like the combat mechanics, though.

[Quindiana Jones]

I prefer the ability to create your own character to Morrowind's mandatory presets, and Skyrim's is less detailed (no blue Argonians :(), but the actual race designs are much better in both games. Although, I do find it hilarious that the Dunmer have rosy-red chubby cheeks. xD

Have you started the Thieves Guild and/or Dark Brotherhood questlines yet? They really are the highlights of the game. Also, Shivering Isles is where you'll find all of Morrowind's eccentric and magnificent scenery.

[Night Fury]

Mass Effect 2.
Best game I've played on my PS3.

[Formalhaut]

Might finally begin Pokemon SoulSilver.

[escobert]

Taking a GW2 break until the February update comes out.

Been playing DoTA2 and Civ 5.

You don't have to do the main quest! I almost never do. Also don't go to Kvatch if you want the max numbers of oblivion portal thingys out. wait.. it's either don't go to Kvatch or go there but don't do any main story after.

[Futan]

Juggling FIFA, Civ5 and FFII. I want to stab whoever designed FFII's leveling system. :|

[Quindiana Jones]

I'm currently playing Black Sails. It's brilliant fun.

[NeoCracker]

Been Playing XCom finally.

So far I've lost Agents Wolf Kanno, Ashley Pie, Mike Face, Dinosaur Mellisa (Mellisaur. :p), and Pike Bot. :(

Cl. Ultima "Colateral" Shadow is a beast. Only Max Rank guy. :p

[Gamblet]

Played Mass Effect, when I started, I had 8 hours play time, when I finished I had 18 hours... It was like watching a good TV series. My eyes need rest now...

[Pike]

Beat the Skyrim main quest and killed Alduin and no one in the game even cares :colbert:

I was expecting some big fanfare from the Jarl of Whiterun and he is just like "If you'll EXCUSE me I have a city to run."

:mymelbert:

I always wished they would be more impressed whenever I killed a dragon in front of them. I expected a "Holy shit, did you just punch a dragon to death?! Maybe Khajiit aren't all a bunch of thieving bastards, then...". But no. Nothing. "What is that?!", they proclaim, stupidly. It's a dragon, idiot. One that I just killed. Right in front of you. With my bare hands.

Yeah, the people in that game were like having Alzheimer...

[Loony BoB]

Just finished the main storyline of Batman: Arkham City and wow, did not expect that ending. Going to tie up a few loose ends in the coming days but beyond that, having to now decide what I play next is a very difficult thing. I really want to play Final Fantasy IX through to completion but I just can't get that into it like I have with other games - perhaps it's just PSP-syndrome, too much of it can dull a game down and it might be better if I play it on the PS3. I'm really keen on getting through the Myst series (with other EoFFers playing it at the same time so we can put our heads together at the harder points), but I also already have Ico unfinished and Dirge of Cerberus unopened for the PS2. Resistance 3 has been sitting around and I barely got into the early stages of that game with Danielle. I keep seeing things on my Facebook about Dwarf Fortress and I'm strating to get cravings for that, too... decisions, decisions. Oh, those first world problems. ;)

Of course, once Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is out, even in Beta, I know where all my time will end up. =x

After I had just killed a dragon (it was in that first village you reach in the game, I forget it's name), an NPC walked by the bones and said something like "People should be more careful about leaving things lying around for people to trip over." I burst out laughing.

That reminds me of my Mass Effect playthrough which I am almost finished with where there was a cutscene about a Krogan asking a VI (Virtual Intelligence) for information.

[Mass Effect] Angry Krogan in Ferros. - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPnTnCLtk8I) It was more funny in-game though.

[Levian]

I'm really keen on getting through the Myst series (with other EoFFers playing it at the same time so we can put our heads together at the harder points)

That sounds like a lot of fun. I've barely touched the Myst series myself, but they're definitely well within my kind of genre. Maybe we could play it simultaneously and have a voice chat going on as well.

[Gamblet]

After finishing Mass Effect, I started the sequel. The controls are hard to get used to but the game itself seems better than the first one.
It also lags less than first one, maybe because I updated my video card drivers. :confused:

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

He does seem like a bit of a crackhead, but he's still smexy...I have a huge crush on him. :p

As for the game so far? Battles are fun. I have the basic weapons unlocked: Rebellion, Arbiter, Osiris, and Ebony & Ivory. Having fun killing things and unlocking skills. Plot wise? It is alright, nothing phenomenal. The writing isn't brilliant, sometimes weird moments, especially when she-demon makes a parallel between herself and the world (now that it is Mundus' bitch) and that he should do what he does to her...To keep it PG-13. So yeah, that was kinda weird.

[Skyblade]

Firefall, the Beta.

Good game, but still needs a lot of work. The Recon class (which should be my favorite), is currently really borked, and plays as more of a demolitions expert than the Sniper it's presented as.

The objectives are fun, community is great, and gameplay is solid.

Downsides: The game is extremely unstructured. Sandboxes are fun, but there isn't enough structure to this one to make things engaging. It's currently just an exp/cash grind, without much else driving it.


This game and world has a ton of potential, and I really want to see where it goes. If they can firm it up and build on it, it'll wind up awesome. If not... Well, it will still show what an MMO can do outside the box. I could easily see this being adapted into, say, Mass Effect Online to great success.

And apparently I have a few invites to give out, if anyone is interested (though invites go out in waves, so it might just give you invite priority over the open sign-ups, I'm not sure).

there's no way this thing is pg-13 anywhere haha
i'll prob get it when it's cheaper, i liked the feel of it. does the fighting get repetetive though?

[Pike]

I give up trying to beat Oblivion. I keep trying to get into that game, I really do, and I keep failing miserably.

- Dunmer don't look like Dunmer
- bizarro character models in general
- uninteresting setting
- uninteresting plot
- DUNMER DON'T LOOK LIKE DUNMER

I'm going back to Morrowind and Skyrim. Mostly Morrowind. I also think I'm going to dive into a new RPG soon. Thinking either Deus Ex or Baldur's Gate 2.

[NeoCracker]

Started up a playthrough of FF VII. Been a long time since I've played that one.

[escobert]

Just had 20 kills 4 deaths and 11 assists in my last DoTA round. Needless to say we killed em!

[chionos]

Started up a playthrough of FF VII. Been a long time since I've played that one.

Seems there's quite a few of us doing this ^_^.

@Pike: Every time I tried to get into Oblivion some annoying minor, but game breaking, glitch (usually in the Planes of Oblivion) would ruin my save and I would have to start over. Most of these things were eventually fixable with patches and whatnot, but it was like Oblivion was telling me that it didn't want me to play it.

I'm surprised nobody on here's mentioned Devon Pudebeyue's Morrowind mod for Skyrim: You didn't really fall for that, did you?

[NeoCracker]

Well count one less, because FF VII has just been replaced with Lunar: Silver Star Story. ;P

[chionos]

Haha. I can't fault you for that choice though Neo, SSSC is a thoroughly fantastic game. It's probably getting close to time for me to dust that bad boy off too.

[Del Murder]

Currently getting deep into Mass Effect 3 and loving it, even if one of my quests bugged out on me and it featured one of my favorite characters too. I also bought Lego Lord of the Rings to play with my wife and it's really fun and has surprisingly good production value.

On the handheld front, I finally gave up on Persona P3P. Seriously, I don't know what the lot of you see in those games. The dungeon crawling is too repetitive and the social networking parts are too simplistic for me to get into. I can't even imagine how boring these games are on a console. So I dropped it like a bad habit and started up on Suikoden via PSN. Really only playing this to set up for Suikoden II down the road. Also, I'm pretty addicted to Theatrhythm Final Fantasy on my 3DS and just beat Phoenix Wright: Justice for All on regular DS. Wondering what I should play next on DS. Ghost Trick has caught my eye.

[Pike]

I started Fallout: New Vegas because why the heck not.

I'm not very far along in the game yet but I did make my character full on Russian. :}

I was playing Mass Effect for about week and I beat it this morning and started Mass Effect 2. I'm not sure how I feel about it. So far, the dialogue options are pretty good, but I'm not digging not having the equipment option in the pause menu any more. Also, the Achievements tab that keeps popping up every time I do something that will get me an achievement is frustrating.

Also, the turn of events at the beginning were very confusing and came out of no where.

Just beat Resident Evil 6 in like a day and a half "All 3 story modes" It suckedddd! Anyway, yesterday my girlfriend was at a thrift shop and randomly bought the original Syphon Filter for Ps1, so I think I'm gonna give that a play through.

[NeoCracker]

Playing through FF VI Advance now.

At Level 38 I've gotten Gilgamesh, Leviathen, and Jumbo Cactuar. Max Damage Phantom/Bum Rush makes these fights rather simple. :p

[Rostum]

I just went and bought Diablo III for a nice price, so I'll be playing through that with some friends. Otherwise I've wanted to play through FFVIII, IX, X and XII, and catch up on some Steam games like Skyrim and Batman Arkham City.

[Shoeberto]

I started Fallout: New Vegas because why the heck not.

I'm not very far along in the game yet but I did make my character full on Russian. :}
I'm still stuck on New Vegas and I like it a lot. I got a little bored with the main quest line but then I found the Brotherhood and it opened up some interesting new quest lines that grabbed me again. I like it a lot more than FO3, which was a good game in its own right but wasn't quite in the same league as the old Fallouts. NV captures the FO1/2 feel a lot more.

edit: Also added Rayman Origins to the list. LOVE it. Everyone should check it out.

[Pike]

Most of my FO:NV experience thus far has involved me buggering away from the main quest and going around exploring, shooting things, and selling loot for caps. It's fun. :)

I was playing Mass Effect for about week and I beat it this morning and started Mass Effect 2. I'm not sure how I feel about it. So far, the dialogue options are pretty good, but I'm not digging not having the equipment option in the pause menu any more. Also, the Achievements tab that keeps popping up every time I do something that will get me an achievement is frustrating.

Also, the turn of events at the beginning were very confusing and came out of no where.

Exactly, but the story is great so far and I am looking forward to what is going to happen, seeing all the familiar faces again is nice.


So far I have only run into Tali and that ended the way I thought it would.

Does your Shep have weird volcano scars on his/her face too?

Yes, his wounds are not healed properly yet, it takes time.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

I pre-ordered Fire Emblem: Awakening, so I'll be playing that in about two weeks. As for now, I'm planning on beating BioShock on Hard with Vita-Chambers off for my final achievement in that game. I also played through Darksiders last week, along with regularly playing NBA 2K13, Forza Horizon, Happy Wars, and Gotham City Impostors. I'm probably not going to start up any time-intensive games until I return to college at the end of this weekend.

Ni No Kuni now, and I am pleased thus far.

[Pumpkin]

I am currently playing Final Fantasy VII.

[Gamblet]

Finished Mass Effect 2, now on to the 3rd one!

[TrollHunter]

I've been playing okami... and I come bearing bad news.
I've beaten this game roughly 500 times on both the Wii and the PS2 as a kid, and I hadn't picked it up in years.
So I did, and this is my verdict.

The combat is AMAZING as expected, very fast, fluid, while still offering a lot of time for creativity and style to be thrown into the mix. Getting demon fangs is always a nice challenge past orochi, since you need to find the right trick for each monster, and some arent so easy to pull off.
The artstyle is well... it's okami, jesus man. It's gorgeous, moving on.
Issun.
Issun....
Good God Issun.
I hate this freaking bug. I hate him. I want to feed him to ninetails or orochi. He's the WORST videogame sidekick in any game I've ever played.
He never shuts up,he NEVER SHUTS UP. He repeats what just happened two minutes ago in the story as if we need the reminder, he makes the same jokes a million times in a row until each successive joke makes you want to give yourself a lobotomy. He never lets you solve any puzzles for yourself, as he is quite keen to interrupt you constantly to give you the answer. Never tips, just answers. I actually think Issun has more lines than the rest of the characters ingame combined.
Yeah, and people say Navi is bad. They don't know true pain. At least navi LETS you ignore her tips. Issun shoves them right in your face, with unskippable textboxes.

Overall, this game would be PERFECT without issun. The characters are really colorful, the stories solid, the environments varied, the combats fun. Everything is amazing. I just.... god dammit issun...

[chionos]

Endless Swan

My only complaint is that there just wasn't enough of it.

[Pike]

Alright I'm trying Oblivion again.

The speechcraft minigame is amazing and I ran around the Imperial City for like two hours getting everyone's disposition with me to max just so I had an excuse to play it.

Very well said. I believe Okami would be a perfect game if it would use visuals only. It would even fit the theme perfectly, as you'd be a wolf who doesn't understand man-language.

So dump the excessive library of redundant text, get rid of Issun and boom, perfect game.

Edit: making you fight every boss again at the end is pretty freaking trout too. It's just filler. :colbert:

Edit 2: Just running around is the greatest thing about Okami. Just run, white wolf, run!

Edit 3: Ok, now I'm getting myself pissed about how developers sometimes just don't realize what makes their game fun. Running around is great. Combat is great. Making miracles happen is great. The painting mechanic is great. But how great would it be to make these miracles happen without a 5 minute prelude of how and why these should happen? The talking is what's not fun about Okami. It enslaves you. People ask, you make it happen. That's not being a god, that's being a boy who runs errands. As a wolf god I want to observe and find solutions myself because my miracles are happenings that are not explainable by humans. The whole game would be one big secret finding/mystery solving puzzle. Why didn't you get this, Clover, WHY?

[Loony BoB]

Alright I'm trying Oblivion again.

I think this was one of the first skills I increased to any notable (relative to the rest of my skills) degree. I miss speechcraft actually requiring the tiniest semblence of skill rather than simply talking to people and buying crap.

Yeah, in my opinion Skyrim did it wrong.

[TrollHunter]

Completely agreed pete
Hell, considering how much of this game is based on legend of Zelda mechanics a silent protagonist would fit in perfectly.
Whats funny is, with issun gone, the ingame scrolls and tips the game gives you would be all the more clever

Besides, all of the jokes in okami about the babes ammy makes perfectly fine as a silent wolf than issun makes with text. Hell, ammys reactions are always way more amusing.

I do wish a lot of the miracles castes felt leas like errands and more like divine intervention like its meant to feel
Its such a damn shame
Oh well, ill stil put 60+ hours into this playthrough anyways :p
Ng+ lets you skip all the text thankfully

Speechcraft was hilarious. Maybe it's why I didn't get into Skyrim? I remember playing it intoxicated once and just really thought about the mechanism behind it and just cracked up. It was fun to be able to manipulate people into liking you.

Speaking of manipulating people, New Vegas. I updated Steam yesterday and it ran like crap and it made me so sad. I'm trying to kill the Van Graffs for the Brotherhood, which is hard enough without the game lagging like a mofo.

BTW, the Van Graffs are tough as hell.

[Gamblet]

Path of Exile

I downloaded this online ARPG yesterday and I am level 17 right now already. This game is a lot of fun and in my opinion the real sequel to Diablo 2, although the story is not the same.

The customization system is really deep, you can choose from hundreds of passive skills as you level up and you can use active skills when you place a gem in your weapon/armor.

The art style really feels like it was from Diablo 1,2 unlike Diablo 3 where it is more cartoony in my opinion. The skill animations look great and the game itself is pretty challenging. I just finished Act 1 and the boss was quite tough, I at least had some help from another guy.

So if you are disappointed with Diablo 3 and are a fan of Diablo 2, I would suggest you to check it out. Most of the players I have met in game say the same things as I mentioned above.

The game is Free to Play and will stay that way. Developers also mentioned that the game will never be Pay2Win.

I forgot to mention that the game is in Open Beta right now, but there will be no more wipes and the game works flawlessly.

Here is the website: Path of Exile (http://www.pathofexile.com/)

And the trailer: Path of Exile Open Beta Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDFO4E5OKSE)

I am so addicted to it right now! Finally a new game that runs like an old game.:lol:

[krissy]

i never had any problem with the text in okami
the voice synths were weird but i got used to them
i thought it fit the world fine

[Bolivar]

Just played a round of DotA2 with some dude on my friends list who I could've sworn was bert. Bert, what's your Steam name? Even bigger question is who the hell this dude is...

About 11 hours into Morrowind. I was dying to play it and at first it was sublime, especially with all the Tamriel lore you're instantly in the middle of, but it's really rough. Mods can only take it so far. Travelling is tough. I do like all the political intrigue, something that was completely absent from Oblivion. And none of the dungeons are anywhere near as horrible as the Oblivion gates, so that's also a plus. But I won't lie, there's a lot of things I miss. I kinda think it's an FFVI situation, where if you played it first, your expectations for the rest are through the roof, but if you started with the later ones, it's that much harder to live without the polish and fluidity. Still, Oblivion built up slow until I couldn't pull myself away from it, I'm sure Morrowind will be the same.

[Pike]

Travelling is tough.

I used a travel map until I memorized everything. It made my life a million times easier. http://fessicsfavorites.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/morrowind-travel-map.jpg

Hiking it out to the Ashlander camps can still be a pain in the rear, but that's Morrowind for you!

[Pete for President]

Juggling FFX, Dark Souls, Okami (with le gf) and thinking of starting a new game of Bully. I seriously haven't touched that game since I first finished it back in 2006.

[Loony BoB]

Finished New Game Plus on Batman: Arkham City and have done all the main campaign quests (all collectables was a bitch), can't be arsed with the challenges though so I'm done with that game. It feels good to say that considering how long I spent on it. x_x

Played the demo of The Cave with Danielle, and it was really fun so I can see us buying it before the month is through. For now, though, I've returned to Football Manager 2012 and carried on where I left off with F.C. United in the Premier League (having worked them all the way up from Northern Premier League, the seventh tier in the UK league system). The game year is now 2020 so I've done very well, and since returning to my game I've taken them from 17th (four games in) to 6th (something like six games to go), so I might get into the Europa League on my first run in the PL, which is immense. Especially when you consider I have a 12,000 seater stadium and am financially stable. xD Just been very good/lucky with my signings, really. Still, want to get my club into an even healthier position and grow the stadium over the years so fingers crossed it'll keep working out.

[Bubba]

Good effort Bob, I had to give up my addiction to football manager games years ago.

I could literally spend an entire 24 hours on there without the need for food or sleep.

[Loony BoB]

Ha! I know what you mean. It's also a good game to throw a weekend away on in that you can play it at your own pace. Sure, the weekend is gone, but you don't get really annoyed at how you really want to get to that next bit of the game but you have to go to work and blah blah blah. I hate leaving in the middle of a story, I guess. When I finally got back to playing VI/XII, I had to restart them because I didn't want to just pick up where I left off. With Football Manager 2012, I can leave it for a year, return and just carry on. I even remembered a lot of the players - although I did get a surprise as I'd completely forgotten about nicknaming my assistant manager 'Captain Planet'. :p

I beat the Oblivion main quest and moved on to the Shivering Isles expac which is about a million times better than the Oblivion main quest so far.

[Quindiana Jones]

Very glad you're doing the Shivering Isles. It's easily the best part of the game.

Have you done the Thieves' Guild and Dark Brotherhood questlines yet?

Nope, and to be honest I probably won't because I'm already planning my next two Morrowind playthroughs...

Trilogy pack, since the main reason I've avoided the games was because I couldn't get access to the first game. I'm playing a Male Shephard, Renegade, and Soldier class. I believe I'm on the mission to acquire my last crew mate.

[Slothy]

Nope, and to be honest I probably won't because I'm already planning my next two Morrowind playthroughs...

Not that I'd ever encourage playing Oblivion over Morrowind, but I'd say give those quest lines a try sometime. The Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild had some of the best quests in Oblivion. Hell, the Thieves Guild quests pretty much end with you breaking into the Imperial Palace and stealing an Elder Scroll.

I'm caught up in two games known as "Curse out my university's Internet network for crapping out on a daily basis," and "Bitch about how my copy of Fire Emblem: Awakening hasn't even shipped yet." When I'm not too busy with those two, I'm mainly playing NBA 2K13 for fun, filling out the Pokédex in White 2, and boosting to tenth prestige in World at War because there's no other way to do it. With the monster snowstorm about to slam into my area over the next few days, I'll probably sink my teeth into something like Dust: An Elysian Tail.

For now, though, I've returned to Football Manager 2012 and carried on where I left off with F.C. United in the Premier League (having worked them all the way up from Northern Premier League, the seventh tier in the UK league system). The game year is now 2020 so I've done very well, and since returning to my game I've taken them from 17th (four games in) to 6th (something like six games to go), so I might get into the Europa League on my first run in the PL, which is immense. Especially when you consider I have a 12,000 seater stadium and am financially stable. xD Just been very good/lucky with my signings, really. Still, want to get my club into an even healthier position and grow the stadium over the years so fingers crossed it'll keep working out.
Update on the above: Got into the Europa League, crashed out in the second stage of the knockout rounds if I recall correctly. Finished that season 4th in the PL (yay goal difference) and that got me Champions League. Up to a 20,000 seater and with a bunch of new signings, I got given AC Milan in the Round of 16 after topping my group (PSG/Valencia/Dinamo Kiev) and lost 2-0 away and won 1-0 at home, bugger. In the PL, things are going great - 1st with a 9 point gap and have only lost two games in about 26 or so (both recent, after a 32 game unbeaten run) - Manchester United away (fair enough) and Spurs at home (damn). Still, should win - Arsenal and United are vying for second. Also, just noticed Spurs won the CL a few seasons back. If that isn't weird, I don't know what is. Currently spending all my cash on boosting my youth side so I can get a very strong home grown group of players, and it's slowly but surely paying off.

I just beat FF3 again, FF4 AGAIN, FF4: The Interlude (which disappointed me), and now I'm playing FF4: The After Years for the first time. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of how they did it in chapters, but its pretty suspenseful and makes me want to keep playing.

...I gotta find a job.

[Denmark]

played through zelda: oot and majora's mask last week. probably gonna play through MM again without worrying about doing everything in the game

or maybe castlevania sotn

GFWL is seriously the worst service on PC. But on the plus side, I found out that I really miss Rapture, and I super enjoy taking it in from a Big Daddy's perspective. But god damn GFWL.

[Gamblet]

Started the 4 monsters + Ramza playthrough on Final Fantasy Tactics. I am currently at the 2nd Miluda fight. I can't get past it! I think I need to level up more.

[Quindiana Jones]

Civ 2. Built or bought almost all the Wonders, and have entered a Fundamentalist government. Currently have more money than God. I have begun my conquest of the world, though am hampered by the fact that I'm not very good at fighting. Fortunately, I have more money than God, so have taken to buying enemy armies and all enemy cities.

Feels good, man.

Will start Alpha Centauri when I want to alienate my friends.

[Pike]

The correct way to play Alpha Centauri is to boot it up immediately after winning a Civ 2 science victory.

[Slothy]

The correct way to play Alpha Centauri is to boot it up immediately after winning a Civ 2 science victory.

The correct way to play Alpha Centauri is to never stop playing it and NEVER be Miriam.

That comes after you boot it up immediately after winning a Civ 2 science victory!

[Loony BoB]

On Sunday, I played something with an NDA slapped all over it.

Tonight, I play Tomb Raider.

Tomorrow? THE WORLD!!!

[Quindiana Jones]

What's a science victory in Civ 2 like?

[Pike]

What's a science victory in Civ 2 like?

It involves sending a spaceship to Alpha Centauri. :jess:

[Quindiana Jones]

Oh yeah, the spaceship thing. I intend to grab that, naturally.

[Psychotic]

When I was a kid playing Civ 2 I always wanted a science victory and never smurfing achieved it because I was just too bloodthirsty. Hell, on Civ 1 as an 8 year old I was too bloodthirsty to even make it to tanks.

I did it once on the PlayStation version (for reference I had PC, Mac and PlayStation versions of Civ 2 and all three were different!) a couple of years back though.

[NeoCracker]

Atelier Ayesha dropped today, so that's what I shall be playing! Huzzah!

[Loony BoB]

Science victory was the most common form of victory for me. Not really intentional, I'm just a slow mover when it comes to taking over the world... I tend to opt for rushing science and wonders early in the game while being relatively peaceful, then swamping the world with tanks the moment I unlock them (often well ahead of everyone else due to the science rush) and then start rolling them out... but the science rush and wonders leave me advancing so fast and then the wonders run out and all my places have built everything there is bar "MORE UNITS" and I start on the spaceship and... victory!

[Pheesh]

I've been playing Fable 3, it was the last thing I bought on steam before I went on holiday, it's alright I suppose. Passes the time effectively.

[Pete for President]

Juggling Ni No Kuni and Dark Souls, though I also want to collect all white sparkly things in Journey. Plus surf the sanddunes in that fantastic downhill level.

Pretty much this.

Only changes when the AI decides to frell with me (they get suicidal), and I wind up wiping them out just so they'll leave me alone.

In Master of Orion 2 I wind up eventually nearly annihilating every other civilization and blockading their sole remaining planet just so they won't wipe each other out. After all, I can't win a diplomatic victory with only two or three races alive, and I'm certainly not going to vote myself victor until I'm good and ready.



Oh, right, and I'm still playing Fire Emblem Awakening. Only one more Lunatic chapter before I open up DLC grinding.

[Greatermaximus]

Moving away from console games and into DnD if I didn't mention it already.

[Quindiana Jones]

That's essentially what I'm doing in Civ 2. The other civilisations are annoying me, so I'm going to take every city bar their capital and barricade them inside until I'm good and ready to finish the game.

[Shaibana]

in an hour or so i will start with Tomb raider :D

[Gamblet]

Continuing my playthrough of FFT, I am at the last battle of chapter 2.... It is tough, but I luckily recruited a dragon when leveling. :cool:

[the_best_noob]

Borderlands 2, ArmA 2/dayZ, dotA 2, Portal 2, TF2, Half-Life 2/HL2:DM.

All my games that I'm currently playing are 2.

[Slothy]

Been playing through the New Vegas DLC (finished Dead Money yesterday), played through HL2 and Episode 1 again, and Mystic Quest of course.

[Bolivar]

Just finished The Witcher, good game!

At home: Tomb Raider (2013)
On the Go: Final Fantasy (Origins Remake)

I'm contemplating buying Tomb Raider as my next purchase. What is it like? It looks a bit more like Uncharted these days.

[Xannidel]

I am currently playing the new Tomb Raider and also beta testing Neverwinter.

[DMKA]

At home: Tomb Raider (2013)
On the Go: Final Fantasy (Origins Remake)

I'm contemplating buying Tomb Raider as my next purchase. What is it like? It looks a bit more like Uncharted these days.

I think it's great so far. It's true, gameplay hardly resembles classic Tomb Raider, but it's not really like Uncharted in terms of gameplay either (parkour isn't really part of it, there's not a heavy focus on shooting, and none of the platforming is done for you like it is in Uncharted). It does have shootouts here and there and the occasional QTE, but the game is far more about finding stuff, hunting and surviving than it is shooting people, and when you do shoot people, it's presented as a method of survival, strictly self-defense, and is never glorified. In fact, there are moments when the game really feels like action/adventure meets survival horror.

If you like action/adventure games, or liked either of the aforementioned franchises, I highly recommend giving it a shot.

[m4tt]

Ni No Kuni when I'm at home.

Temple Run 2 when I'm at work. What?

I've heard pretty positive views all round in regards to this game. If I wasn't ridiculously skint trying to save for my holiday I'd definitely pick this up straight away. I've been dropping hints to my girlfriend (who has money to burn) whenever the advert comes on TV that I would love to get this game. It would tide me over nicely until The Last of Us is released.

[Loony BoB]

I think it has more shooting than DMKA implies, but he's right in that it's a different feeling in that you feel like you're doing it for the sake of survival rather than in Uncharted when you're doing it as part of a push into enemy territory for great treasure. But yeah, there are moments when you'll do a lot of shooting or beating people up or whatever. Either way, I would say it's a really good game that deserves to be played.

[Pike]

Man you guys. Euro Truck Sim is fantastic. So is Beat Hazard. OMG BEAT HAZARD IS SO FUN. It's a shmup but set to your own music :jess:

[Sephiroth]

Pokémon Black 2.

[Xannidel]

Infamous 2 and InFamous: Harvest of Blood. My save file on 2 was corrupted or had a bug where the game would freeze EVERY time I was doing a main mission so I could not progress. It took me this long to recover, almost 2 years, so I am starting from scratch and picked up Festival of Blood because I did not know if it contained spoilers to what happens after 2 or not.

Ni No Kuni will be played later on.

Tomb Raider has been put on hiatus for me because of the stupid parachute section that I can't beat.

[DMKA]

Heh, yeah, I wasn't as far into the game as I am now when I wrote that. There are quite a few fight/shooting segments, I realize now, but they're still presented in such a way that they blend perfectly into the rest of the game's survival theme.

I haven't finished it yet, but if it stays this good through the end, it's easily one of my new favorite games.

[Pheesh]

Just picked up the Mass Effect Trilogy for cheap cheap, so gonna play 1+2 again and then I'll finally be able to play 3 for the first time :D

[I Took the Red Pill]

I'm playing Tomb Raider as well. I think I'm about 40% of the way through it. IT's pretty good. I don't like how blatant the "secret tombs" are though. They're standing right out in the open and the screen shoots this at my face:


SECRET TOMB NEARBY

Thanks for ruining the "secret".

Additionally I would like if there was a bit more variety in the fighting animations. Shooting a guy's legs out with the bow is awesome, but after seeing Lara pull the same bigass rock out of nowhere as a finisher 20 times in a few hours, it gets old.

Some of the setpiece parts annoy me a bit as well. There are a lot of parts where it seems like you're inches away from death (crossing a log over a cliff, climbing a massive and broken ladder, etc.), but it takes from the immersion a bit when you realize you're not actually doing anything except holding the control stick in one direction and watching Lara freak out.

I do really enjoy the atmosphere of the game and the graphics are pretty great. I also like the depth and variety present in enemy conversations. Though I have some criticisms of it, I am enjoying it overall.

[Bolivar]

I've been bouncing around between Morrowind: Tribunal, Diablo III, Dota 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II, feeling lost now that I beat The Witcher... :freak:

[Unbreakable Will]

Halo 4;
It's not as great as Reach was by any means, but it's still not anywhere near bad. I enjoyed the campaign thoroughly and found the dual online (War Games & Spartan Ops) experiences to be vastly entertaining in different ways. And while I miss the armor abilities from Reach and the way it handled I still enjoy the new abilities and I'm slowly adjusting to the variances in movement. On the plus side from bad changes there's considerably more unlockables such as armor, additional names to show ability and the weapon loadouts have improved greatly, we're talking full customization here. So all in all I miss Bungie's particular flair but these new guys have done a Class A job with the series we know and love.
8/10

[Shaibana]

ive started Tomb Raider.. so far im not that impressed about the gameplay type , perhaps its a little to not-tomb raider'ish..

But its only the beginning, so i hope ill find it better later on :o

[Gamblet]

Darksiders

Its awesome! Being a fan of Devil May Cry, I approve. This game is even badasser than DMC I think, but that's my opinion. I am about an half-way through. It is pretty challenging so far.

[Pheesh]

Tomb Raider

Absolutely love it, I've been playing it non stop today and I have basically zero complaints.

[Bolivar]

Startin a game of Dota 2 with Vivi right.... now!

[Slothy]

That game was pretty great. It was a shame you had to leave, but we did end up winning in the end. Might have to step it up to some harder bots once I try a few more heroes out.

[Wolf Kanno]

Pushing toward finishing Fallout 3, I've owned the game the longest for my PS3 and never got around to beating it, and my OCD took over.

Still playing Vagrant Story on PSP, getting close to the end.

[Sephiroth]

Rune Factory Oceans.

[Casey]

Guild Wars 2 and Black Ops 2. :)

[TrollHunter]

Playing Devil May Cry 3. I never gave this game a chance as a kid, but I've fallen in love with it now.
Dark Souls has helped me appreciate the nuances in the combat and the difficulty, with very little leaving me frustrated.
Also, the cerberus is so damn amazing and fun. Considering I love using nunchucks (nunchaku) in kung fu, I immediately fell in love with them.
Looking forward to all the badass weapons in this game.

Also been playing around with some old crappy PS1 games.
Power Rangers: Time Force (I WILL beat this broken near unplayable piece of garbage. I keep getting 3 levels from the end and getting screwed over by the level design)
Spongebob SuperSponge: A surprisingly solid platforming game with some serious balls in terms of difficulty. It had me on the edge of my seat, and I was having a blast until I got my game over.

[Bubba]

Final Fantasy 8.

I've only ever played this game once and despite a few obvious issues with the story, I did actually enjoy it. After reading up on how broken the game is I've decided to find out for myself. Plus, I do really enjoy Triple Triad.

Oh I'm enjoying the hell out of it, just beat Agni and Rudra. Took me about 4 tries give or take. Pretty sweet swords, and they have access to air hike! ^^
I'm not using recovery items or anything, so this game can get pretty intense. But my god IS IT SO FUN.
Chapter 6 here I come...

[krissy]

yeah i loved dmc3!! agnir and rudra was the hardest battle for me too. i guess s&o reminded me of that one actually. i wonder how i'd play dmc3 now after having played through demons and dark souls
but it's true, dmc3 is the best entry in the series, at least for sure in the ps2 generation

[TrollHunter]

I actually had more trouble with cerberus than those two. He took me like 6 or 7 attempts. A&R took me a few tries to figure out, but once I did they were cake. After Dark Souls bosses taking me 15+ tries on challenge runs, 4 or 5 tries is nothing.
None of the bosses have been too overwhelming actually, and they've all been extremely fun (except the leviathan heart, that one was just stupid)
Then again... there's still Hard, Very Hard, and DMD for me to go through.

I can definitely say I don't play DMC3 the same way I did DMC4 because of Dark Souls. I only get frustrated when something stupid happens or greeds appear because screw them, and I spend a lot of time in the early chapters practicing moves and combos.
