What are you playing right now?

After that, part of me was hoping to finally start playing Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together but I'm also incredibly hesitant cause this game has been getting so much praise from people lately that I feel I'm going to walk away a bit disappointed if it doesn't just blow my mind, so I may hold off until the hyperbole around here ends and just finish Persona 2 and 3 instead.

It probably won't blow your mind, it's just more of what you've come to expect from Matsuno and his close circle, and it's their latest project.

I've been replaying it myself down the Lawful story path (Chaos the first time) and between coming across another one of the very challenging battles and having a ton of new classes that need some grinding, I'm probably gonna put it to the side for a few days.

I booted up Oblivion last night to check out my file and I came to the same hard realization that stopped me from playing Fallout 3 after the Vault - I really couldn't possibly care less about any of the quests in my quest log. I need to get back to the main story, but I was a little underlevelled, which put me on the whole sidequest kick for a bit. Still, the mods have been glorious and make it very nice to play.

Despite being a hardcore mega dudebro extreme who only cares about his Kill : Death ratio and how many prestige levels he has, I actually put multiplayer aside and started the campaign in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. I'm actually pretty impressed. The 1980's flashbacks are just more of the same as the first game: gritty and awesome, but I've already been through all that. The main 2025 story is pretty glorious. It's a lot like that AAA blockbuster, best of the best you'd come to expect from an Uncharted - really awesome game moments you're glad to have been a part of. All of the changes they've brought like branching storylines, customizable equipment and the Strike Force missions have been appreciated, and the narrative is actually really emotional. I give Treyarch a solid A for this one.

I've been thinking hopping back into Guild Wars 2 is long overdue, just have to motivate myself to do it...
