What Are You Playing? December 29th, 2012

Finally done playing nice with the family, now time for Halo 4, Black Ops 2 and Skyrim. Plus gotta get around the humble indie bundle at some point. And playstation all stars once I round some people up!

Ps Dan I just went to my download history on my Ps3 and I'm downloading odd world to it for free because I have no funds on psn and I bought the game on my vita

I picked it up for half price over the break, was awesome since it just came out.

LoL, Dota2, CS:GO and when I finally get some alone time, Halo4

Just picked up Far Cry 3 and I'm loving it. You know a game is good when you stay up until 6 in the morning playing it, only to get lectured by your gf about waking up too late in the day to spend quality time with her... And then do the same thing the next 2 nights in a row!

Tell her to make you a sandwich, and ask her why she has shoes on. Works every time.

kingdoms of Amular (spelt wrong but dont care)
will be getting Farcry 3 in a few days and Just Cause 2 from the steam sale tomorrow cause its only a fiver

Starting The Walking Dead episode 4. Ending second season of a Madden career.

I think Episode 2 was my favorite. They were all great, but the middle of Episode 3 started to slow the story down a bit, and I don't think Episode 4 offered enough dialogue chances.

Ep 3 was an emotional roller coaster ride...... i have never been so emotionally involved with a game before *(possible spoiler)*When one of the saint john brothers grabbed Clem during ep 2 i literally lunged towards my laptop screen and proceeded to let him know in no uncertain terms that i would F"ing kill him.... then the dialogue gave me the choice to tell him this it was just meant to be.....

I liked the choices I was given in Episode 2. I think they carried the most weight and really challenged the player's morality. I felt so stupid afterwards that I got worried about whose station wagon that could be, but it really shows how well the game was written to absorb players like that. I also liked that Episode 4 had a lot more action-based choices rather than just dialogue choices or choices that weren't timed.

Episode 4... you'll never look at your attic the same way twice.

Restarting odd world strangers wrath , res revelations, ff7 first time,psabr

It look hot on my vita.... Sure wish it was cross buy with my. Xbox version from 2005

Got Deus EX: Human Revolution for 7,50 euro on psn, Love it!!!!

Almost done I think, played through it quite fast. Back in Detroit, just confronted Taggard and convinced his sidekick to not kill himself, moving on to what I expect to be the final part. Gonna play it again though, only guns blazing instead of stealth.

I've also been putting off DXHR since it came out and only just last week started it on the PC. Really good game. Love the cyberpunk setting/atmosphere. I'm to the same point as you, but have been playing a mix of stealth & guns blazing. Really hoping to see a sequel with better graphics & more overall polish in not too long.

I was thinking the same thing: love to have more but the game really needs to be polished up a little. And I can also relate to the mix of playing stealth or shooting, sometimes an alarm goes of and your just like, to hell with it lets shoot everybody. It's very satisfying nailing sombody through their head on the wall with a crossbow bolt = )

Just finished deus ex. I forhot how awesome that game was.

I got PSASBR for Xmas, playing that a bit on the PS3 and Vita. Its kind of cool.

Other than that, still playing Steam games. Playing KOTOR 2 with the Restored Content mod right now.

I love me radec.... Ratchet is pretty balls too... I love all characters Celt far princess

Nice, after playing Mass Effect I've had this deep seeded urge to go thru KOTOR 1&2 again, loved those games

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (PS2)
Star Ocean: The Second Story (PSX)

It's a difficult question. A sign of any good game is when you just want to keep playing it.
In that regard, it delivers. However, it can get tedious if you play for too long at a time.
Very dated graphics, a rather simple story (thus far), slow pacing and random battles
(although not too frequent and they're fun due to the combat system).
The music is very good, specially the first two hours or so btw.
I'd say I'm enjoying it, I'm glad to be playing it, I want to finish it but I've played better RPGs and probably won't want to play this one again once I'm done.

Sorry, the "Post a Comment" box got all funky for some reason. Must be sleepy.

Mass Effect series
Minecraft, Tekkit mod.

Just imported this character from the first into the second. Ive played the series multiple times other than the new me3 dlcs.

I started Spec Ops: The Line last week, so I'll probably get in to that a bit. I also started Arkham Asylum GoTY edition, so I have that to play as well. When I'm not playing those, I picked up a PS1 emulator for my phone and started playing FFVII on it. My phone has a full keyboard, so it's better than trying to play on a touch screen, but playing without a controller is a bit of a challenge. I wouldn't want to play an action game, but it works well enough for RPGs.

Just got Far Cry 3 for $40 on Amazon. Not very far yet, but it's giving me that nice tingly feeling that few shooters give me when I kill the enemy.

Just finished The Walking Dead (and died a little inside), now reaping the benefits of the Steam sale so checking out Sins of a Solar Empire and FTL. FTL is a lot of fun, I would recommend most to try it out.

Who thumbs this down?!?

Playing keep Barbados' rum distilleries in business.

Also playing BL2. Only like level 8, but it's more of a good thing.

The Walking Dead! Never thought I'd enjoy a zombie game this much, every choice feels like it matters & I know I will do anything to protect Clementine.

I've also been playing through LA Noire again, with the dlc & on pc this time, but it feels like a grind trying to 5 star everything.

I replayed two cases and got five stars. I couldn't bring myself to do it for any others because goddamn did it get boring.

It doesn't help that Cole is a very unlikable character.

I really liked Cole for most of the game, it was just when you find out that he completely randomly, inexplicably, and out of characterly cheats on his wife that I stopped liking him. I blame Team Bondi for not knowing how to develop a character properly.

Fair enough assessment. I didn't like Cole because he came off as randomly angry, such as when interviewing the rape victim, he very much had a "you had it coming" vibe and that turned me off.

playing ACIII until i finally get my copy of far cry 3 i bought online

havnt played enough to get a strong opinion on it, but as for now, it seems like every other to me. Not a bad thing since i liked all of them since the second

FTL
Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion
Terraria
Skyrim (wif lots of mods)
DOTA 2 occasionally

Playing Skyrim with mods makes it more fun.

I'd say it makes it playable depending on release dates :P

I never thought I'd enjoy assassins creed 3, but now it's catching up to super mario Bros in my daily log. It sure is a tease, it takes a long time to play as Connor in his awesome outfit and as soon as he puts it on it's back to Desmond

Working on getting the platinum on ME1 and doing some ME3 mp.

I really like the story for ME1 and agree it's the better out of the three. It really works setting up the sequels or it could've ended with the first game and still been fullfilling.

Second playthrough of TWD. I'm ready for my mind to be blown. Again.

Starting playing Guild Wars 2 again. Also playing Black Ops 2 and a few other random games here and there

Rage still, Dishonored again, Spec-Ops the Line because maybe on the second play through I'll interpret it differently, and Borderlands 2.

Pac-Man CE DX on my Windows Phone 8, but I think I'll also layoff gaming on new years eve, I'll resume it January 2.

Borderlands 2
Will have to try out Civ V, Anno 2070 and the new dlcs for Shogun 2 before the weekends over.

Hope you enjoy Civ V.

The dlc will allow my Korean ancestors to sweep across the land, none shall be spared.

If you don't have Gods and Kings, Green Man Gaming has it on sale now for $4.50. With Voucher code GMG30-DPLIM-DN831, you can get it down to $3.15. Steam activated. At that price there's no reason not to get it. The sale will probably only last a day or so.

I got the GOTY edition, Gods and Kings, and Korea dlc. I think thats all the civ additions. Dont really buy dlcs that add lil things, altho did get the blood dlc for Shogun 2.... cuz daddy want his sword to make a mark.

Battlefield 3 Aftermath DLC

Guardians of middle Earth, LoL, and Dark Souls! Also got The Walking Dead for $10 last night, so I will be starting that soon as well.

I have way too many games to play. I've bought at least 100 this entire year, and I've barely touched most of them. Today I just bought The Last Story, Resonance, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, and Super Mario Galaxy, for instance. It's not for Christmas or anything, it's just...a terrible ****ing habit I have.

I went through a phase like that, too. I just wanted every decent game I saw, especially if the price was good. It took a lot of work to get out of that, and now I'm spending much less on games by trading stuff in. The value depreciates pretty quickly, but trading when there's bonuses or deals on trades, I generally save some cash. PowerUp is one of the only rewards cards I've used that actually saves me money.

Metal Gear Solid. I intend to finish the HD collection before winter break is over.

NIIIICCCCCCEEEE, so glad they finally released it (i don't have my ps3 anymore and no backward ps3)
I was so surprised how much I still liked MGS 2 after playing the hell out of 3&4. After 3 & 4 I figured MGS2 wouldn't hold up anymore, fortunately I was wrong

I bought AC: Brotherhood for $9 (aus) today for an excuse to talk to the cute blonde behind the counter. she might as well set up a $9 false hope booth, i dont actually intend on playing the game

haha a nice plan but flawed since it's on pc. i almost bought zombiu for $90 when it was on sale somewhere else for $60 for the same reason, but she wasn't working that day so i saved myself $30 lol. wow I sound really creepy

That you do, sir. Pvssy is pvssy.

Next time say "I don't actually even want this game, I just wanted an excuse to come talk to you" and you will save $9 and instead get a phone number for free!

a phone number or a great big dose of humiliation in a public video game store. my fear of rejection wont let me do such things but god how i wish i could do that :/

Grow a pair dude. What's the worst that could happen? A little pepper spray, and a restraining order.

You can't win if you don't play. Go for it.

This is the time of year her bed is feeling cold and empty.

It's alright I'm in a truck at work All day so I flirt with like every gas attendant or Fast food chicks.... I got a weird fetish I just bought my girl a mcdonalds outfit

maybe i should do the same for blondie. girls think working at maccas is ideal, right?.....

Damn I like video game forums

it's a good place to sound like an idiot all in the name of fun

World of Warcraft and a bit of NHL 13, Be A GM.

I just beat Mega Man 1 on the 3DS. I didn't want to buy it since it is linked to your console, but I wanted to support the fact that Capcom is actually DOING something with the Blue Bomber again.

Other than that, New Super Mario Bros. 2, and possibly The Walking Dead since I picked it up on the 360 for cheap. Do you need to be ultra caught up on the series / comic to understand it all?

Mass Effect 2&3
Madden 13
Shogun 2 (total hours unknown)
Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown (psn: alambert, come get it!)
Superbike Generations
... absolutely no regrets

Mhmmm shogun2.

Right, I shouldn't have mentioned it, finally got it out of my system but now...

I just startet as the otomo clan. Those perods are effektive.

The Walking Dead Ep. 1 was free on Xbox Live this week so I picked that up. It was very enjoyable, not at all what I was expecting.

Just picked up sleeping dogs and i am very impressed by it the DLC even added my local mongrel mob chapter into the mix...... way to make this Gweilo feel right at home.....

I'm playing "Don't buy anything more on Steam" and I think I'm going to lose.

Playing Skyrim with mods makes it more fun. Civ IV and V.

I've got so much to play on Steam, BUT I HATE TO DOWNLOAD!

I'm starting to hate Steam downloads too...it makes the internet bill $80/mo :0 I hope the next-gen games aren't all 20-30 GB in size...

Planetside 2 for double XP, then a big Civ5 LAN game again, sprinkled with Crusader Kings 2 afterward to the wee hours of the morning.

TRIALS EVOLUTION - (such a amazing game, better than the original in every way! im surprised this game didnt get much GOTY love...) ASSASSINS CREED 3 - (just started) WWE 13 - (1st wrestling game ive played in 4 years, while the game is not flawless, they've improved alot and the attitude era mode is phenomenal!)

Still at my parents' place, so I'm not doing a lot of gaming.
When I have time, I squeeze in a bit of P4G (2nd playthrough) and Binding of Isaac...

So, like what do you do, talk to each other? *shudders with fright*
