What Are You Playing? July 21st, 2012

Picked up (among many other games) The Witcher 2 from the Steam sale. So I'm playing that and so far I'm loving it.

So many games... so little money left on credit card... still a day left.

With the purchase of on sale games my wishlist has gotten to an all time low of 14 selections. I have a problem, but luckily this comes once a year... oh the winter sale... Fuck!

Just Cause 2, Bulletstorm, Shogun 2 dlc, AC, AC2, AC Brotherhood, AC Revelations, all the Fallout NV dlcs, and Torchlight. Will I get to all of them before the year ends... most likely not but they are shinies and we wants them, yes, they are preciousssss...

Phantasy Star Online 2

I'd say so however it always takes a little getting used to

I'm taking a break from MGS to play Final Fantasy IX. I feel confident I'll finish it this time. I'd really like to finish at least one FF in my lifetime, and IX is my favorite. I'm on disc 2, grinding Dagger and Steiner. Zidane and co. were lv.16 at the end of disc 1, Dagger and Steiner were lv. 6 and the start of disc 2 :S

Once I'm done with / tired of FFIX, I'll finish up MGS3 and start Peace Walker.

Keep it up. FFIX doesn't have the best story, but I love the game world. In terms of art design it's by far my favorite FF game.

Persona 4 / Ghost Recon : FS

I am thoroughly enjoying right now because the gameplay offers you numerous combinations of tactics to take down tangos. I enjoy trying every one.

This kind of freedom is something that UbiSoft always NAILS (Rainbow 6 Vegas, Splinter Cell, Assassins Creed, etc.)

I picked up Dragon's Dogma a couple days ago and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

I second this question. I've been sold on this game based on GR activity alone.

I sold Starhawk and Max Payne 3 to subsidize the cost of buying it new. Getting it on sale would be a steal, it's a lot of fun and there's some good challenge to it as well. I could use a bit more polish but Capcom has a solid game to base a franchise on.

Guild Wars 2 beta weekend


After ill be continuing The Witcher 2 with a little borderlands on the side(Gotta get a save ready for Borderlands2)

Wish I was playing GW2 Beta. So far today I played eat German food followed by fix PC drivers. I may play some more Super Talking Time Brothers once I crack open the Crown Royal Black. May do some more MW3 SP/MP or more Treasure Adventure Game.

I picked up Portal 2 and Bullet Storm on the Steam sale, and am seriously contemplating picking up Batman: AC, but I haven't touched either.

Arkham City is the best developed gameplay in the past 5 years.

Yeah, I said it. Deal with it

Sooo much right now. Mostly LA Noire though. Was camping the past couple nights so I didn't get any gaming in then. Still got my steam sales though =P

Yup. The mobile app saved me :)

How is GW2? I wish theyd have an open beta so I could see if I could run it/enjoy it.

Im really enjoying it. they just added in vistas which are kinda like eagle points in assassins creed. you figure your way out to the top and your rewarded with a awesome camera pan.

League of Legends and stuff with the kids.

I've pretty much accepted the fact that there will never be a time when I am not still trying to finish The Witcher.

Yeah, but then later I started the second one to see how good the graphics are and I get a constant frame skipping glitch so I can't even play the game no matter what I do. Oh well, at least the first one is good.

Install it to your xbox HD. Makes a HUGE difference in framerate/lagginess.

Trust me. The game is worth the trouble

Hahaha I would never play a game like The Witcher 2 on an Xbox.

CDProjekt Red did a good job with the port. graphics look almost as good

you should check it out

Steam Summer Sale, already bought Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Portal 2 and Limbo, and I am looking for a good RPG The Elder Scrolls-esque, any suggestions?

There's a little game not too many people have heard of that came out last November. It's called Skyrim, and has been on sale periodically all week on Steam. You might want to look into it.

There's a bit of a problem with that game...it's not TES-esque.

Arx Fatalis. It's old as hell, but so great.

Will check it out, thanks!

Bought about 5 games from the steam sale so far and playing Dead Island at the moment. Also went back and played MW3 online a bit for old times sake, ah memories

well it's an obviously flawed game, but it's a lot of dumb fun. I still haven't tried out the co-op yet, that'll probably be the best part or so i've heard

BOOM.

Not spam, just boom.

OH MY GOD THE SPAM FILTER CANCELS OUT YOUR REPLY TOO THIS IS HONESTLY THE MOST FUCKED COMMENT SECTION I'VE EVER SEEN.

Someones exited cool mode, at high velocity, eject Goose! Eject!

The fact they put double post protection is makes me smile :)

Fallout: New Vegas. When it actually works it's a fantastic game. I have to save every 15 minutes or so because it has the amazing ability to freeze and crash during loading screens and corrupt my autosave. Just finished the Old World Blues and Lonesome Road dlc's again. Only have a few more Achievements to do, but this will likely be my last playthrough of the game. 66/75 finished is good enough for me.

I got Ys Seven for my Vita and I love it oh so much.

Just downloaded Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy.

GW2 beta, which I'm really happy with. Going to try World vs. World today.

How is GW2? I wish theyd have an open beta so I could see if I could run it/enjoy it.

The best gameplay in the series, and by far the most coherent story.

Hell yeah!

I just picked up KOTOR off the steam sale, playing it for probably the 8th time now (first time on a mac though!) I would like to play Spec Ops: The Line because I hear such good things about the story arc, but I can't justify $60 on a military shooter. All well I guess I'll have to weather the summer drought until a price drop in the fall when every other game I'm looking forward to releases simultaneously. How to game companies not get this? Even if you released a moderately good game now it would get sales because no one has anything new to play!

Spec Ops definitely has an awesome story, but even taking into account the immense amount of enjoyment I got from it I wouldn't say it's worth more than $20.
