What are you currently playing?

[OssMan]

Games I've beaten in 2015:

Nothing I don't think

[drave]

Currently playing The Witcher III.


Seem to get killed a lot. Need to get the combat down, as it feels different from previous Witcher titles.

[ClockShot]

The Witcher 3.

Only got an hour into it so far. This week is going to be crazy for me so most of my buddies will be well ahead of me. So hopefully I'll be able to do some catch up soon.

[road doggy dogg]

Pokemon Shuffle and Pokemon Rumble World

Nintendo will figure out the microtransaction game eventually... Shuffle is abhorrent but Rumble is a bit better with it

[Droford]

I bought blood borne and Witcher as a happy birthday to me present. With my gamers club thing at best buy I got both for $80.

[Fignuts]

Played through Shovel Knight in a single KNIGHT

hahahaha

[Fignuts]

But no, I really did beat it and it is super good. Old school replay value in trying to speed run it, or beat it with as much treasure as possible.

[weather vane]

Illusion of Gaia

[Droford]

Played about 15 hours of Witcher and the most exciting thing I've done is ring a bell to make the stupid goat follow me instead of eating strawberries.

Witcher 3 you mean???

If so, you are definitely doing it wrong. Less than 10 hours in and I have two witcher contracts complete and am now stuck at a boss fight with one of the Wild Hunt members and only 3 potions for a very long fight.

Fought that fucker for 15-20 minutes last night, nearly had him, and then dead. Love the challenge of this game.

[drave]

That includes visiting every ? on the first map, all before you

go after the griffin for your first contract.

State of Decay-Xbox One


Wish it was multiplayer

[Curtis]

Ive been playing Risen on PC on Steam but the game is messed up and I can't see or read anything in the journal for quests. Apparently its because my windows font/display is set at 125% because otherwise I can't see anything, and it messes up the in game font if your resolution is at 125%.


Lame.

[Curtis]

State of Decay-Xbox One


Wish it was multiplayer



I wish your mom/girlfriend/sister was multiplayer.


Just wanted to throw it out there, I wouldn't otherwise be able to use that punchline because "Wish it was multiplayer" isn't something ppl often say....

[Droford]

That includes visiting every ? on the first map, all before you

go after the griffin for your first contract.

I beat that one easy, the wild hunt boss you're on I beat as well but it's much harder.

I can now tackle "a tower full of mice" although I'm sidetracked back to looking for the Barons daughter/wife. I noticed a lot of the contacts I was getting were for levels way ahead of where I'm at so I've put them on the back burner too.

[Fignuts]

What difficulty are you guys playing at?

[drave]

I started on Blood and Broken Bones, but it didn't go so well. I find this entry to feel quite different and haven't nailed it down yet. I switch between it and the normal setting.

My problem with the wild hunt boss was that my silver sword broke :( Fixed that and the dude was a breeze.

[Fignuts]

Upgrading that shield sign early on has been a great help, especially when fighting larger groups of enemies.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

About to start Starfleet Academy from UGO.com.
Also might play Star Trek Online again.

Games Beaten:
Assassin's Creed IV
First set of story of Destiny (Level 30 right now)
Chapters 1-3 of Game of Thrones Tell Tale.
WWE 15 got Kevin Owens CAW The WWE World Heavyweight Title. (might have been 2014)

[drave]

Witcher 3 gets better the more I play it. Just finished the "family ties" questline, or whatever it is called. That is a fucked up twisted story almost fit for Jerry Springer, but it really drew me in, despite making a shitty decision about a tree.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've just started Dying Light; quite enjoying it, though I've only just begun.

[Curtis]

Witcher looks cool but I couldn't get past the first few parts of Witcher 1 because I kept getting bored and lost.

lol that's the first decision I made in the game that didn't lead to horrible consequences.

[road doggy dogg]

Super Mario 3D World
Splatoon

SM3DW is incredible. I am consistently impressed with how Nintendo always manages to make their platformer games still feel fresh and innovative after the umpteenth iteration.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Still lagging in keeping up with the Forza series, but working my way through Forza Horizon...what the fuck is with this weird obsession with hot pink?

[Disturbed316]

Lego Jurassic World and Batman Arkham Knight. Hardly have any time to play games at the moment though so these will probably last me for some time.

[Fignuts]

Playing Fallout 3 again because hype.

Forgot how awesome it is coming out of the vault. Also some of the most atmospheric music in a game.

[FourFifty]

Splatoon. Legit cannot get enough of this game.

[Fenix122]

Currently playing The Witcher 3 but also bought DA: Inquisition, Elder Scrolls Online, Hyrule Warriors, and Windwaker. Joined Best Buys gamers club for $30 and saved $54, so it already paid for itself.

[Kris P Lettus]

Still Borderlands 2

I have Shadows of Mordor, Witcher 3, and MK X, and I can't stop playing Borderlands.

[The Mask]

Championship manager 97/98 :cool:

[road doggy dogg]

Recently finished Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. Great platformer, short (~8-12 hours total) and lots of fan service (fuck yeah titties). Pacing of the game is really good too, never really felt like it lagged or anything. Would be cool to see more Shantae stuff in Nintendo's future, a Smash character or something... even an amiibo, hell yeah

[ClockShot]

Finished off Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright on the 3DS.


I enjoyed it. Court cases took longer than they should have, but I got through it.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Still Borderlands 2

I have Shadows of Mordor, Witcher 3, and MK X, and I can't stop playing Borderlands.

I hear ya...that's me right now. Trying to grind all my character classes that aren't there yet to lv. 72.

Then will probably move on to more The Pre-Sequel...

[road doggy dogg]

Finished off Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright on the 3DS.


I enjoyed it. Court cases took longer than they should have, but I got through it.

I've always loved the Layton games but never actually played the Wright series (I know, I'm a communist fucker)

The game worth picking up?

[ClockShot]

Yeah it is. It's like 80% puzzles 20% cases. I never played either the Layton or Ace Attorney series so I didn't know what I was getting into. Picked this up to give a boost to my 3DS library.


Think I clocked in at about 24 hours of play time. Which is what I look for in a good story/campaign. The plot kept me guessing.

[Fignuts]

Transformers Devastation

Pretty fucking rad so far. Crazy awesome boss battles.

[Disturbed316]

Rock Band 4 and Metal Gear Solid V mainly, still got the challenges in Arkham Knight to go through too.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

P4Dancing All Night made me replay Persona 4 again. May as well pick up the Platinum while I'm at it.

[drave]

Nothing :(

Opted out of the dashboard preview because it was making Netflix and Hulu unwatchable most nights. Fired up my One yesterday afternoon and reverting back to the current dashboard FORMATTED MY FUCKING XBOX!

Had to re-establish profiles and install every fucking thing over again. Combine that with numerous ISP outages this weekend and yea....... NOTHING!

Wankers.

[road doggy dogg]

Chibi Robo Zip Lash came in the mail Friday (pre-ordered it for the amiibo) so I've been playing a bit of that. Mostly Pokemon Shuffle + Pokemon Y + Dota 2 this month though. Been playing some Mario Maker as well.

Still need to grab Mario Kart 8 but no desire to pay $65 for it still. Need to find it used

[DAMN iNATOR]

Checking out Escape Dead Island...art/visual style is cool, but the storyline, gameplay, presentation and graphics leave somewhat to be desired.

[Sixx]

Modern Warfare games.

[Mercenary]

Binding of Issac the rebirth

[Sixx]

I am kinda puzzled. Why does MW3 work exactly as well as MW1 on my laptop? Integrated graphics and whatnot, thought the higher requirements would make my FPS drop to like 10. I sometimes even think it runs smoother than the first and second parts. Weird, but cool.

[OssMan]

I just beat Arkham Asylum

[DAMN iNATOR]

Lemme tell ya, Escape Dead Island I thought would be cool, and for the most part it's been alright, but I dunno about this one part I'm on way towards the end after Cliff fights his zombie self and kills it...he goes to this surreal world where he has to fight through in order to apparently wake up. Problem is there's this huge room where a giant orb rises out of the ground and you have to kill normal (white) ghost zombies and try to kill the green (acid spitters) and a red one as well, but it seems the green guys keep respawning and damn red one can only be hurt by your attacks when he's moving, otherwise he uses his claw-like arms to block your attack. It's easier to die dozens of times in that 1 area than it is to pass it in a sane amount of time...wanna beat this fucker just to see the damn ending...UGH.

[ClockShot]

Platinum'd Mad Max last night. Probably be spending time on Destiny or picking up something down the road that's been released. Most likely AC: Syndicate.

[ClockShot]

Assassin's Creed: Syndicate will be finished tomorrow. Hopefully Gamestop got a deal going where I can get the most out of my trade in with Black Friday and all.

Back to Destiny...........again.

[Disturbed316]

Still working my way through MGS:V, currently at 60% overall but got about 15 side ops and main missions remaining.

[road doggy dogg]

Late November list of games I've been playing lately:

Yoshi's Woolly World (super fun. Annoying left my apartment for the Thanksgiving weekend so haven't had a chance to play it much...)
Mighty Switch Force 2 (picked it up cheap on eShop. Also compelled me to go back and finish the first one and try to par a few courses. Awesome short fun games, I love Wayforward)
Pokemon Shuffle (because I hate life)
Pokemon Y
Fallout 4
Diablo 3
Dota 2
Overwatch (just the beta but super fun, looks promising)
Heroes of the Storm

[VergilD]

Playing Metal Gear Solid V getting all S RANK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bdwnVV7T-w , Stacraft 2 almost done and then Brutal mission to complete!

[Ruien]

Witcher 3
Halo 5

WOOO XBOX ONE

[Emperor Smeat]

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon

[Heisenberg]

Beat Fallout 4


Wife got me for Christmas:
COD: Black Ops 3
Guitar Hero Live
Metal Gear Solid V
Elder Scrolls Online

[drave]

Sounds like a nice Christmas.

Let me know what you think of the new Guitar Hero and Elder Scrolls. I was close to buying ESO, but stopped short b/c of other games currently needing to be finished.

[Heisenberg]

GH Live makes you earn your keep. That's for sure. You can't just jump right in and do whatever you want. The guitar is different, more difficult than the 5 button crap.


It took me fragmented 3 days to get ESO dl'ed so I only played one or two opening quests. Looks nice to me, I love the lore so I'll probably just breeze through that stuff.


Still playing Fallout 4 tho, that is my baby

[DAMN iNATOR]

I can't even BEGIN to tell you how many books between TES III: Morrowind & TES V: Skyrim, including DLC that I've read in-game. They really do add so much to the lore and mythology, etc. of Tamriel.

[Kalyx triaD]

lol Yeah you can just jump in and do expert songs with the five button crap with Rock Band. Good luck with that. How long it took me to 4* Ride The Lightning, that was just my stupid fingers. Game's easy peasy.

[LuigiD]

Hearthstone is pretty fun.
Really helps the long ass boring work shifts.

[road doggy dogg]

My only gripe with the game was its load time on my iPhone :'( Any time you'd switch out of the app at all it would take forever to get back going again. User error and all that, but yeah

[DAMN iNATOR]

Hearthstone is pretty fun.
Really helps the long ass boring work shifts.

Yeah, I just hate going back to one of the properties I built only to have to dispatch a bunch of stupid bandits.

[road doggy dogg]

...properties?

[Fignuts]

Don't think he was saying that rockband is easy. Just that the new GH controller is tougher, which I can see.

"5 button crap" is just the king's speech.

[DAMN iNATOR]

...properties?

Oh, LOL...I had Hearthstone confused for the Skyrim DLC Hearthfire. My mistake.

[Shisen Kopf]

So Damn, what are your new Fallout 4/PS4 plans

[DAMN iNATOR]

On hold indefinitely now. :(

The way Guitar Hero is setup you can't just sit down and master a song unless you've built up in game credits to purchase the song itself. I love Rock Band to death, wish it was on sale over GH, but compared to the 5 button guitar it's a step up in difficulty I craved in this genre. I'm going to get Rock Band somewhere down the line, but switching back and forth between game guitars is going to be weird for sure now

Wait... what? That sounds horrible.

Going to get Rock Band anyway because Drumz, but still, that sounds pretty lame.

[The Destroyer]

Started on Just Cause 3. Wingsuit is nice but I don't think I like it as much as the second game.

Major performance issues too.

[Helmsphere]

Going between MGS5: The Phantom Pain, NCAA Football 14 (Since it was the last one released) and planning on starting the Revelations games in the Resident Evil series soon as well.

I just missed so much the 14 months I was in a Texas State Prison Faculity and not having a console for 9 months following that.

[Poit]

Fallout 4
Diablo 3
Hearthstone

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Fallout 4.
WWE.

[Ruien]

Just beat Halo 5 on Heroic. Was super short but fun.

I just started playing Five Nights At Freddy's....

I am a grown man who just screamed at a jump scare stating a fake fox in a game.

[Blonde Moment]

Pillars of Eternity

[Ruien]

Started Destiny. Not that impressed so far. Might go back to Witcher 3.

[Emperor Smeat]

Shovel Knight.

Nintendo had it on sale at their eShop.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I bought myself Witcher 3, Fallout 4, and Attila: Total War for Xmas. I might start Witcher 3, today, as I installed it yesterday, but I'm pretty in to Crusader Kings 2 at the mo.

[road doggy dogg]

Bought some shit this Steam sale for once. This holiday I've mainly been playing:

Terraria
Heroes of Might & Magic III
Star Wars: The Old Republic

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Playing Her Story. I don't get why its so popular. It's interesting though.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Enjoying Witcher 3 at the moment. It doesn't touch Skyrim, but it is giving me my Medieval/RPG fix.

[Disturbed316]

Lego The Hobbit

[ClockShot]

Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires and Fantavision.

God damn, Fantavision. One of my first games on the PS2 I ever received. When I saw it got the upgrade treatment on PS4, I immediately downloaded that.

[Penner]

Too many f'n games.

Destiny
NHL 16 HUT
Fallout 4
Battlefront
COD BO3

Games I want to get back into
NBA2K16
Super Mario Maker
Mortal Kombat

Games I want to start
Killzone
Rory Mcilroy golf
THPS 5
Need For Speed
New Tomb Raider

[Heisenberg]

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare- It's like Call of Duty, but w/o guns and once you master the timing of your sword attacks it becomes really fun. 24v24 PVP, no mercy. There are FFA and Team Objective modes too.


Guitar Hero Live-Bust this out every once in awhile. Very different from the older versions.


Elder Scrolls Online- I'm going to work through the solo story of it then drop it


Fallout 4- Pretty much did everything I wanted to, going to still play and wait for DLC

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Witcher 3, because apparently the only games I like now are fucking long. Be at this for at least another week and I'm well over 100 hours.

[Fignuts]

Warframe

It's like destiny but free to play, and way more interesting. Third person with a combination of melee and gunplay, with special abilities for each class. Seems like it has everything Destiny has plus more, and I like the more even balance between gunplay and melee. You can do awesome shit like shoot an enemy while wall running and then jump off and finish him with a leaping melee slam. You can even sprint toward enemies while deflecting bullets with your melee weapon like a jedi fucking master.

Crafting system, a player trading market, and a hugely elaborate clan system that involves building a headquarters for your clan.

Add that all weapons armor and mods can be earned in game, and I think I'm gonna be trading in my copy of Destiny. That's not a knock on Destiny, as I think they've made signifigant improvements since it came out, and my problems with the vanills release are virtually all gone, but I only really have time for one grindfest type game, and like I said, Warframe seems like it offers a lot more.

[Disturbed316]

Picked up Rise of the Tomb Raider and Just Cause 3 today, should keep me going for a while.

I found it slightly odd that JC3 was sold out in virtually every place I went to, but apparently there is supply issues at the moment.

[Curtis]

Doom 3, it was on Steam sale for like $5.

[road doggy dogg]

probably the best post Curtis has ever made, nice

[Ruien]

Just beat Dungeon Siege 3. Was a fun game to play. Love getting free games from XBox.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

6 wins in a row for Madden. One win until I am .500.

[road doggy dogg]

Civilization: Beyond Earth

+ all the other Civ stuff from the Humble Bundle I wanna play

[Fignuts]

Guitar Hero Live

Going to take some time to get used to the new controller, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Honestly, I really like it. Maybe even more than the old controllers. It just feels reaally good moving up and down on the buttons, especially when nailing tricky parts.

The whole GHTV thing is an interesting idea, and a great way to play new content without paying for it, but I still would have preferred an option to buy songs permanantly.

Love the live performance footage they use for the default setlist tho. Hilatious how the fans and your bandmates look at you when you're playing badly. Also, lots of girls with rockin tits in the crowd.

[ClockShot]

Bought and finished Firewatch in a few days. You can download and beat the game in the day.

Beautiful game. But definitely not worth $20. It's sorta got some replayablity, but I'd wait until it goes on a discount before you pick it up.

Got Street Fighter 5 this week. I'll play that until Far Cry: Primal comes out next week.

[Poit]

Diablo 3
Persona 4

[Ruien]

Just best Pokémon 'X. That was a well put together game.

[Blonde Moment]

Wow
Again....

[road doggy dogg]

Just best Pokémon 'X. That was a well put together game.

I have Y and just recently picked up Omega Ruby... not generally a fan of all the rehashed games but OR is cool just because it has so many of the legendaries from past generations

[Heisenberg]

Call of Duty: Black Ops III multiplayer. It sucked me in like Black Ops II did.

[drave]

I've dabbled just a bit. Haven't had the chance to sit down and really grind it out like I want.

The first 3-roud burst assault rifle is my baby so far. So good with that gun. Unlocked a SMG that seems really good too..... 3rd one down maybe? Such a noob to the game right now.

You should get in on The Division action. Kinda like Gears of War without aliens and just crazy people instead.

[Wehttam]

[Sepholio]

Just started playing Xenoblade Chronicles X for the WiiU. And I can already tell you that the game world is just plain incredible. Wish other RPGs/open-world games would build worlds like this.

[road doggy dogg]

Still need to buy that... ugh @ my wallet

[Sepholio]

On the plus side, Xenoblade is one of those games you can potentially find yourself immersed in for a long time. I've already clocked like 25 hours and I'm still in the first area lol. Mind you the areas are insanely massive. I'm shocked that the WiiU can even manage to create areas like this with no load times other than the initial one.

Regardless, you'll get your moneys worth out of it.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

SWTOR again...damn them.

[Disturbed316]

Rise of the Tomb Raider

SO EXCITED!

[road doggy dogg]

Mega Man Legacy Collection

killin' some robots

[Fignuts]

Far Cry: Primal

On the hunt to find and tame Battlecat. :D

SO EXCITED!

Is it super good? Was debating getting it, but I'm a bit sick of farcry. Does it feel different enough, or is it farcry 4 with rocks and spears?

[drave]

From the gameplay I have watched, the latter sir.

[ClockShot]

There's a fair amount of copy & paste from the other games. :$

But it's totally different spin on what we're used to. You don't have guns and rocket launchers, and cars at your disposal. No scopes to line up that perfect headshot from afar. No money, no stores.

Sticks and stones and plants is all you got. You're hoofin' it most of the game until you're able to tame the larger beasts to ride on. Although there are fast travel points to cut down on travel time.

I'm having a blast right now. Far Cry 4 was alright but I hated the damn story. I'm sure you'll like this. Worse thing that happens is that you take it back and get your money back.

[Heisenberg]

Far Cry 5: Close Cry Domestic Edition where we have to break into neighborhoods and take out all the sheep that bow to Meltzer,,,

[Sepholio]

Need to go bootleg that right right now.

[Emperor Smeat]

Splitting time between The Witcher 2 and Metal Gear Rising.

[ClockShot]

Playing Dishonored on PS4. Trying to get a low-kill count and focus on stealth, but every mission ends up in stabby-stabby death-death mode.

Bah.

Blink, the tranq. arrows, and choke outs are your best friends.

Pretty easy to get "Clean Hands".

[Fignuts]

Just bought Amplitude, Crypt of the Necrodancer, and Gone Home. Was only gonna get Gone Home, and Amplitude, but I found out dB sound works of Super Meat Boy fame did the soundtrack for CotN, so I had to pick it up.

[Sepholio]

^^^Indeed. I prefer 3rd person for stealth tactics as well. Gives you a much better sense of your place in the environment.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Cheers, 2 missions in a row I've forgotten to top-up on tranq darts. I'll try and balance out the high death rate by the end of the game.

I think my main problem is I struggle with stealth in 1st person games, I had the same problem in Deus Ex Human Rev. Where-as games like Assassin's Creed and Metal Gear Solid I'm fine because the 3rd person perspective gives me a clearer idea of whether I'm covered or not.

I've just picked up Deus Ex: H.R. again, as a matter of fact. I'm hoping I'll find some way to defeat the boss I never got past last time.

[ClockShot]

Which boss troubles you, sir?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Not sure. Been literally years since I last played. Looking through the IGN psge though, I think it may have been Namir, the third boss. Also, I should've noted before, I'm restarting from the beginning, not starting at any boss fight.

[ClockShot]

Well for starters, DO NOT get the upgrade chip when all hell breaks loose. Makes the fight much easier.

After that, Typhoon and a high powered gun should bring him down pretty quick.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL, cool, thanks for the tip. I just got through scouring YT & IGN, and it was Yelena Fedorova who was giving me fits.

I did notice a couple of nice "alternative strategies" to make all but the last boss a lot more manageable. I guess I'll see how I fare when I get to those points.

[ClockShot]

She's easier. Cloak, grenades, typhoon, and gun. When she runs away, creep around. Look for the ripples in the water when she's cloaked. If you find her first, unload on her.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Well, first I've got quite a bit to get through before I get to her. However, I will take your advice under advisement.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Trying to play Xenoblade Chronicles X, but it is one of the most obtuse RPGs I've ever played. I have no idea how to start the next story mission even with the marker on my map and all my side quests seem to have no location for me.

I want to like it, but it's hard.

[drave]

They are kinda known for being obtuse aren't they.


Seriously though, I remember playing through on PS2 I think it was, and it was pretty bad.

Think it was Xenosaga maybe....

Worst part for me was sitting for nearly 2 hours and only actually experiencing 2-3 fights......

Other than that it was a shit ton of just running around with CMOS and reading. Bored me to death at the time and I never finished it.

[Emperor Smeat]

Think its more of a spiritual successor type in the Xenogear series. No direct connection but its not just a spin-off series either.

Then again the whole Xeno series is like that.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Working through God of War III...just killed Hephæstus...Kratos is fucking awesome.

UPDATE: ...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I made it to the end, but the fucking thing freezes up in the credits every time it gets to the "Multimedia"sextion, preventing me from getting my gold "Vengeance Complete" trophy, thus officially beating the game. #FML

Playing Twilight Princess HD. Never played it before because I hated the Wii. Went into Hero Mode too. Seems fun so far. Not a fan of being a wolf though but that should be better as the game goes on.

[road doggy dogg]

Mine came in yesterday and I got around to starting it today. I honestly barely remember the game since it was like 10 years since I've played it. As far as I'm concerned I'm getting a new Zelda game :love:

Started Hero Mode, gonna use the Ganondorf amiibo too for more of a challenge

[Ruien]

Geez RDD, are you some all star Zelda player or something? Seems like that would be overkill.

[Locke]

What is Hero mode?

[Ruien]

I think you take double damage and there are no hearts anywhere to regain health. Found a fairy though in the second dungeon.

[thecc]

Going between

Street fighter v
Yakuza 5

[Poit]

I've been putting pretty much all my free time into playing Stardew Valley.

[Disturbed316]

The Division

Only played a couple of hours so far, but loving it so far.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Fedorova's dead in my playthrough of Deus Ex: H.R., and I've since cleared Detroit, pt. II with the riot taking place there, although apparently I missed an opportunity at a side-quest by not reading an e-mail on Jensen's computer after meeting with Pritchard in Jensen's office in Detroit, pt. I.

I was also pissed to find that after having essentially completed a side-quest in Hengsha, pt. II ("Corporate Warfare") and then getting discovered and killed by guards on my way back to Mengyao, the item I was to take her was no longer in my quest inventory and the fucking side-quest failed on me after reloading. What an assload of fucking bullshit.

[drave]

Relax. You have time to fix all those mistakes.

[DAMN iNATOR]

No, unfortunately not in this playthrough. I'll have to play a new game just to complete those for the trophies. Plus, I'm not at all certain I will be obtaining the "Foxiest of the Hounds" trophy for not setting off a single alarm. I feel confident that I'll nab the no-kills one, though.

On Singapore level now, And, as an aside, after quitting last night and starting up the game again this afternoon, I thought maybe "Corporate Warfare" would be on my quest list, but alas, nope. :(

[drave]

Exactly - what else do you have to do ;)

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

lol

[DAMN iNATOR]

Hey, I'm not sweating it. I've been pretty much breezing through the game aside from those couple of mistakes...it's amazing how easily all the bosses have gone down with only 1-2 rockets, a TES (Typhoon Explosive System) lv. 2 blasts and/or gas grenades...just passed Namir, and am now working through Panchæa.

EA Access giving 10 hours of playtime for UFC2 for free :D

EA Access giving 10 hours of playtime for UFC2 for free :D


Going to knock bitches out this weekend.

Been playing it, they've changed very little. Can't believe that shitty submission system still exists.

Knockouts look better though, but it does feel like they've shitted it out so they can have microtransactions in Ultimate Team.

[drave]

I was never a fan of the submission system, though I cannot really think of a better system? I remember it primarily depending on your stamina and submission stats, which on paper is fine. But it feels like there should be a better way to execute the submission mini-game.

I remember the K1 Kickboxing game on PS2 had a limb damage system, but you don't really have submissions on that game. There are indicators for "status" for every part of the body, but do they actually impact submissions? For example, if your opponents mid-section goes red, they cannot block head shots. Head goes red, they stagger and can easily be KO'd, etc.

I would like to see if something like repeated leg kicks would impact a leg submission, etc. I only clocked a few hours on the beta, and didn't really give submissions a look b/c of the stupid system.

Not sure how I feel about UT yet. Feels nearly identical to Madden UT, which is okay I guess..... but could be much better.

[drave]

What co-op games do you have on One Hasney?

Really need to play with some TPWW folks. I have 4-5 tpww people on my list but never get to play with anyone either b/c different games or time or gametime :P

[DAMN iNATOR]

@drave: You don't happen to play GTAO on PS3 by any chance, do you?

[drave]

I do not have a PS3, no.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Damn. Oh, well. Looking for anyone here who's in the "Crew" who might be willing and able to help me advance past the "The Prison Break" Heist finale with payouts set evenly @ 25% each for the trophy you get for completing a heist with that as payout.

On the Deus Ex: H.R. front, beaten the game the first time, although even though I did quite a bit, I still missed quite a few trophies including some secret/hidden ones. Got through "Cloak & Daggers" Detroit, pt. I side-quest and remembered to take O'Malley's bribe and tell Jenny Alexander the lie that he wasn't there for the "The Take" hidden trophy.

Still need to pick up:

The 'D' Project (watched entire credits, listened to convo after)
Gun Nut
Corporate Warfare
Ladies Man
Lucky Guess (during "Smash the State", do anything but hack the bomb to defuse it)
Kevorkian Complex (Administer Brent Radford the final, lethal dose of morphine which kills him)
Acquaintances Forgotten

[road doggy dogg]

With the new PC up and running I'm happy to be able to play awesome stuff again.

Revisiting Fallout 4, will probably play a bit of that.

Have to look through my Steam library to see what would be interesting to pick up for a bit...

Still playing through Twilight Princess HD and Rayman Legends on Wii U as well, with Pokemon Y getting some solid play time this week

I just finished another playthrough of Earthbound. I found it a lot easier this time, done in just over 20 hours. I think it'll be a March tradition

[road doggy dogg]

that sounds like the best tradition

[Emperor Smeat]

Borderlands 1 and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Got used copy of GT6 yesterday...taking fucking FOREVER to install.

[ClockShot]

Far Cry: Primal is done. Alright story but it's rather short. The end scene bothered me a bit.

Hinted at a possible sequel to this.

Will be going back to The Division. Start the long quest of getting all yellow gear.

[DAMN iNATOR]

OK, what in thec actual FUCK?! Playing through GTA V story mode and ever since completing "Mr. Philips", the Civil Border Patrol "Strangers and Freaks" orange "?" has not popped up in Sandy Shores for me to complete as Trevor.

I'm on PS3, so if anybody knows if this is a known bug/glitch, let me know. Dunno WTF is going on, but I'm PISSED...won't be able to 100% the game with my current save file...SMH... #FML

[ClockShot]

Went back to Destiny. Tying up a few quests and grabbing items before Rise of Iron. No way am I getting all the year 2 moments of triumph.

Got The Wolf Among Us for free when I pre-ordered the Batman Telltale game. I like it so far.

Witcher 3 Blood and Wine expansion. Best game of this gen

It's really fucking good. Might have to agree witn you on best of this gen.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I re-started Witcher 3 on PC since I've upgraded and glad I did. The graphics are a leap ahead and running it at 100fps is wonderful.

Just finishing up Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE right now, it's the most Japanese-ass JRPG I've ever played, but it's really good. One of the best cross-overs ever as it's an original Shin Megami Tensei cast and game with Fire Emblem elements and characters, but there's a good reason for eveything happening the way it does instead of just being Fintstones x Jetsons where they just go "WOW LOOK AT THIS CRAZY WORLD LOL WE'RE SO DIFFERENT".

Battle system is fun, if you hit a weakness it can lead to a "session" with the rest of your party where if they have a link skill, they can jump in and attack too. Side quest content is really great too. Get to know other party members and even unlock duo act songs that can happen during battle sessions and act almost like a summon.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A0p7DI2V-IU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It's the best JRPG I've played in a while and a perfect thing to play before FFXV and then Persona 5.

Mighty No. 9 and Skyrim. Might No. 9 was a daily deal for the XBOX sale this week so I picked it up. It's exactly like Megaman but real easy. Almost Mega Man 2 easy. Still real fun. Hoping Ori is put as a daily deal too.

Playing Fallout 4 for about a month or so now .... have not even started the main quest as I keep getting distracted by side quests.

Platinumed Final Fantasy 15 last night. Might do a dungeon here and there until new content comes out.

Thinking about going back to Mafia 3 or Dishonored 2 and get the platinum for those until the new Yakuza game comes out.

[road doggy dogg]

Played a bit of 7 Days to Die for a week or two with some friends. Real fun game, hoping it gets fleshed out a bit more in the coming months. Playing a melee build is fun but kinda suboptimal when you're in a fortified fort. Got boring. I cooked the shit outta some stews though.

Been dabbling in the latest Diablo 3 season as well

[Sepholio]

How's the anniversary event rdd? Been thinking about booting up Diablo and running through that bit for nostalgia.

[road doggy dogg]

It's good for what it is, a little romp down memory lane. I think it would've been better if they cut the length down to maybe 75% of what it is, it does tend to drag a little bit but overall was fun

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I'm playing the waiting game for Switch.

Also more Rocket League and Overwtch.

[drave]

Playing through Mass Effect again, nearly done with 2. Also playing WoW. Did some raiding last night and it was amazing! Game is fun.

Just got Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMIX the other day which includes the original KH game (called Kingdom Hearts HD Final Mix, the previously Nintendo DS(?) exclusive Re:Chain of Memories, and 358/2 Days, except only cutscenes, diary entries and special reports. Speed ran through last one for 6 easy trophies and 100% with shitty gold trophy as the "YAY! You got all the other trophies" reward...still bewildered how they could make it a non-platinum whereas the other two both have platinums for 100%.

Anyway, started on Re:CoM last night and have so far passed level 1F on beginner mode. Will tackle Proud Mode after beating Sora's story on beginner mode. Enjoying it pretty well too.

As an aside, I hope to add Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD ReMIX very soon.

[Sepholio]

Scale of 1-10?

Sorry it took so long. Thread moved down the page and I didn't even think about checking it again.

I'd give it a solid 8.5. I'm a huge jrpg nerd tho. I would actually rate this 9 easily but it's standard tales gameplay overall.

You run around freely in battle with a lock on any given enemy and jam the face buttons to spew out different combinations of rates you have set up. However there is one wrinkle to it in a sort of power up thing your main character can do. It doesn't power you up very much damage wise, but it can be used to extend the life of combos for ages and get your chain dmg multiplier up. You can use it multiple times stacked too like goku uses kaio Ken in dbz. At the end of it, which is either when you run out of this games variation of an action point, you'll hit a big finisher. Best time to trigger most mystic rates is at that point, and you can chain all of those together now if you meet the requirements for each character at the time. The power up has a trade off tho. When engaged, your health will start draining slowly. Add a stack and it speeds up a little. You can do massive damage after a few stacks but your health will drain so fast you won't believe it. You can not die in this state but your health will often be left at 1 when you drop out of it. Risk vs reward type thing amd I think it makes the battle system the best in series.

The story is surprisingly good. Like....really good. The game has your kinda upbeat tales feeling to it with the world and setting....but you aren't good. The main character has reasons I won't get into for what she is doing....but she's bad. Nay evil. How do I say this? You're the goddamn devil and it's awesome. She isn't a bad person and her reasons are sound but her reasoning is ice cold.and her methods brutal. One of the best mains in a long time. Other characters are also varying degrees of bad and strange but all in good ways the compliment the games story. One character is a typical good guy but I can excuse that. It adds conflict to the group. The story itself is also a nice twist...since you're the damn devil obviously you're going to kill jesus I mean the shepherd. The first shepherd to chronilogically. Very different from most jrpgs and turns out well. Ties in with xillia and zestiria heavily. Also has a really really good twist that will take what you are expecting, rip it away and then shove the shocking truth up your ass hole. And it does it twice.

The dull part is that it is a bunch of interconnected towns and zones. It's a faux open world. Lots of corridors. That's kinda getting old now. Tales needs a world.map.style like Vesperia if they are staying old school or do a better open world. It holds it down.

Sorry for long review. Really like this game. Just best story and doing post game now. The ex dungeon has some weird twists that make it unlike anything I've done before in this type of game. Pretty cool stuffz.

[Danny Electric]

Quantum break , really interesting idea , had no idea it would turn into a full on tv show at points which at first confused me but a solid game .

[DAMN iNATOR]

I finally got around to playing Borderlands, XBox 360 style again the other day...did PT1 with lv. 50 something Lilith (Siren), taking down the Claptrap's Robolution DLC until I got to MINAC, which I farmed for the collectibles achievements I hadn't done, which were Lubricator (25 oil cans), What A Party! (3 panties, 5 fish, 15 pizzas) and Bobble-Trap (15 Claptrap bobblehead statues). That left 3 achievements. I hop on today to see a message from XBL saying they're giving free XBL for all from the 16th through tomorrow, so I pop in BL, first person to try to play in a session of mine and I got And They'll Tell Two Friends (viral achievement that means you either played with a Gearbox staffer or someone who had the achievement themselves). Next, I join a guy and ask if he will help kill Crawmerax, 10-15 minutes or so later, BOOM! -- Vincible achievement. Then I just had to do "Lost Lewts" and "Circle of Duty: Medal of Duty" in Secret Armory. Luckily for me I had a Pestilent Defiler (like the best corrosive pistol or revolver or whichever in the game), because you have to destroy two Crimson Lancer APC's along with all the other enemies, and non-elemerntal damage is very slow, but with the defiler, hitting a vehicle or enemy with it multiple times causes a DoT...anyway, finally beat those sidequests, and as is appropriate my last achievement to unlock in BL1 was Completionist.

To say I'm elated right now is an understatement.

UPDATE: Was also able to get "Friendship Rules" on BL2 so it's also now 100% on achievements.

[Disturbed316]

Mainly Hitman at the moment.

[Locke]

Last guardian really great :y: :y:

now trying "I Am Setsuna"

[road doggy dogg]

how is that

almost bought it on steam sale

might get it on switch

idk

[Destor]

Setsuna is a great through back in the same feel as chrono trigger (in gameplay) but has some glaring flaws when late game the is an artificial difficulty spike that requires are fair ammount of farming that really kills an otherwise great game.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Somebody gifted me KOTOR 1 and 2. It's been awhile since I played them.

[drave]

Did not think KOTOR 2 was that great.

[Locke]

how is that

almost bought it on steam sale

might get it on switch

idk

It seems pretty forced

I get that it's a "retro RPG" but I didn't expect a rushed storyline and poorly written dialogue to be a part of it

Battles are kinda like chrono trigger yeah but with a little added confusion

[Bobholly138]

Streets of Rage 3-7 outta 10

Been tryign for the past few days to beat it and get the best ending. But it is so damn hard to do that. Still one of the best beat'em ups/belt scrollers of the 16 bit era.Too bad Sega seems to have forgotten about this franchise.

[ClockShot]

Horizon Zero Dawn. 4.5/5

[road doggy dogg]

It seems pretty forced

Hmm. I still may grab it on the Switch just because there's not a ton else right away that I want.



Meanwhile, I'm giving my WiiU a victory lap. Been playing some Yoshi's Woolly World (100%ing some levels etc), Super Mario Maker, and sm4sh. Lots of really cool levels on SMM

[Locke]

I played Super Mario Maker a total of 1 time, bad purchase

Would like to play Yoshi's Wolly World

[road doggy dogg]

SMM is kind of "what you make of it"... you have to dig around to make the game better. I liken it to playing something like Skyrim modded vs unmodded. If you know what mods you're looking for it totally changes the experience, but often you're grasping at straws because you don't really have a roadmap for the "right" way to do it. (bad analogy sry)


YWW is real fun. It's a bit on the easy side but great for a relaxing platformer
