What are you playing right now?

Minecraft

Finished Final Fantasy II, got Platinum on inFAMOUS and got my Burnout Licence on Burnout: Paradise. Currently playing FFVI and not sure what I'll playon the PS3/360 just yet...

[Dreddz]

Currently playing Killzone 3. Seems like an improvement over Killzone 2 in every way. And seeing as I loved Killzone 2, Killzone 3 gets a thumbs up from me.

• Gears of War 2. Horde mode with certain posters on these here forums. Honestly it's amazing how it can still invoke massed shouts of profanity. "OH tit THAT smurfING BLOODMOUNT IS HERE BLOODMOUNT smurf smurf smurf" and that it somehow always manages to feel like an epic siege.
• L.A. Noire. Got the new DLC case. Was pretty decent I guess, although I was never a huge fan of the arson cases as it's inevitably a bitch to find any in tact evidence at the crime scenes.
• Mass Effect 2. My ridiculous Must. Do. EVERYTHING! mantra when it comes to Western RPGs does not mean I will complete this game anytime soon.
• Dynasty Warriors 7. Benevowhat?
• Resident Evil 5. I wish to get myself a niiiiiiiiiiiice bonus.

Assassin's Creed 2 on PS3.

Minecraft, Terraria, Civ IV, X-Com, Kerbal Space Program. That last one there I just started playing today, but I imagine I'll be spending some quality time with it. Terraria is another one I started playing recently and is surprisingly addictive. The other three games are a part of my usual rotation, it would appear.

[TrollHunter]

Ratchet&Clank
Pokemon Fire Red
Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks
Final Fantasy VI
XenoSaga (I probably won't get around to continuing this because so far I'm not enjoying it at ALL)

[Mercen-X]

I'm on sabbatical from gaming. I think it's been a month... or perhaps time is being distorted by game-addled nerves...

[Loony BoB]

Final Fantasy XIV - The new patch has made the game much more enjoyable and party invites are becoming regular things which is always a good sign. Fingers crossed the ongoing improvements keep us playing. Now, if only I could keep up with Danielle when it comes to leveling...!

Dwarf Fortress - Just a little bit longer...

Final Fantasy VI - Well, not this past week, but now that I'm heading back to work I'm sure I'll be playing it on the bus again.

[Iceglow]

When I'm not masterminding the expansion of the Dwarf Fortress Spoonproblems I am often found shooting the trout out of the Horde in Gears 2 or else shooting the trout out of the heads of people on Black Ops online. I need to restart FFXIII (I know I know, it's 20 hours tutorial blah blah blah but smurf you I want to do it properly) Finish AC1 so I can move on to 2, play the games I have never even put in my console tray, blast some more zombies on DR2 with Paul and maybe if there's time left over, I'll spend it playing more DF.

I just beat Final Fantasy X-2 a couple days ago. I was going for 100% completion but eventually realized that I had messed something up early on in the game and stopped caring. The perfect ending really isn't worth it anyways. Otherwise, I did everything except for finishing Via Infinito (level 80 and on kicked my butt). So, I'm done with that but am thinking of going back and trying to get to the end of Via Infinito when I have time.

Otherwise, I was going to start FF V only to run into the saving problem on the ps3. So, I'm probably going to invest in the Gameboy Advance version eventually. I will probably play through IV on the DS until then though. Either that or I will go back and try to finish Jeanne D'Arc as I kept being busy with other things every time I sat down to play it.

Once I move back into the dorms for school, I'll probably spend a lot of time playing Star Fox, Pokemon Snap, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1, and Zelda with my friends at school.

I guess in the end, I'm really playing nothing right now.

[Del Murder]

Almost done with inFAMOUS, which I discussed in another thread. After that I will probably play God of War 2. After that I am out of new games! I got Little Big Planet as part of the freebie program but I'm pretty spoiled by Nintendo when it comes to 2D platformers. LBP really has nothing on DKC, Kirby, or Super Mario.

I have a question. Would I like Red Dead Redemption? I'm not a big fan of 'open world' games but I hear this is one of the best games out there. What I like is a centralized story that progresses linearly. inFAMOUS had many open world elements but it more or less followed a set storyline. Certain areas were blocked out until the story progressed into those areas and the side missions were easily separated from the main missions and could be ignored without impacting things much. I liked that. I don't like a blank canvas where I could literally do anything because in those cases I just run around aimlessly. I need focus.

I also want to get Mass Effect 2 and God of War 3. That plus RDR would keep me busy for quite a while. It would be nice if Gamestop did another 'Buy 2 get 1 free' promotion of used games so I could get all three of them.

I reckon you might enjoy RDR Murder, the reasons being thus:

Initially areas are sealed off from the player, the player must progress the main story to unlock them.

Mission lines all tie in to key missions, a player can only do so many missions for one person until that person becomes unavailable to them until the other missions are done.

Free-hunting, basically instead of roaming around a place like Liberty City randomly shooting NPC's in the face with an assault rifle because "y'know it's fun" in RDR you're given an option where you don't need to break the law but can go hunting for an indefinite amount of time in the wilderness of the wild west. So long as you've ammo in the gun it's good. Whats more, skinning/plucking/picking the flowers on your hunt means you can sell them on to generate game wealth.

Stranger missions are random storylines which have no completion dead line (usually) but can often be completed in under 30 mins or so allowing you to find a random mini-story in the game.

Help missions crop up as you ride around these are quite repetitive but range from save the hanging man, defeat the bandit tricksters, help the person survive whatever animals/persons are hunting him, help the local law enforcement and assist shopkeeps by chasing down thieves.

Gambling, the gambling mini-games are amongst the most balanced I've ever played.

So yeah a few reasons to like RDR aside from it's awesome multiplayer.

Slowly but surely I'm making my way through Vagrant Story. Also borrowed a DSi with Pokémon Platinum from a friend.
