What are you playing right now?

[marelooke]

Still playing mostly Dragon Dogma Dark Arisen. I've recently hit lvl50 and maxed out 3 vocations so far (all the figher ones, working on Sorceror now)

 

Noticed The Division on sale but from what I hear it doesn't compare favorably to Warframe, which if F2P. Unless you really want an open world I guess. It'd need some killer features to convince me to spend cash on it and I'm not seeing it so far.

 

Also thanks melkathi for reminding me of Ghost of a Tale, I totally forgot I had a key sitting in my mailbox...whoops...

 

EDIT: typos...

Dealing with retarded ally AI in BFG. Gave up on that mission.

[mkreku]

I bought The Division after all (thanks for the answers, guys) and it's definitely been worth $34 so far. I'm up to level 16-17 right now and having a blast. It actually runs great on my aging 290X and it's so pretty!

 

I didn't get along with it at all in the beginning. It felt way too MMORPG-ish where I was expecting a more realistic Borderlands. But I persevered and it all started making sense. I still haven't entered the PvP parts (where I hear the problems are stemming from) but even if I don't enter that part at all I feel I'm getting my money's worth. 20 hours in and looking at probably 40 hours before I'm done with the single player part.

My GPU died so it's time to play lots of portable and console games.

 

Trying to mop up everything in Yakuza 4. Currently at 65% completion. I could just go for the final story mission but I will try to at least get to 80% completion before I do it.

[Malcador]

Well patch either made the Eldar not moronic or I got lucky. Onward with the campaign!

I see you avoiding my posts in the future - I am a bad influence

[teknoman2]

in the end i had to save scum my way through that place in DS2 and of course it took me 50 attempts at the boss before i managed to kill one tiger and be one on one with the other.

and the only reward for all that effort was the boss soul. trolling at it's finest

[Majek]

Back to Destiny to see if i can get my character to 335 light ... so far i've seen that i'll need friends to raid or other coop stuff, solo it'd take far too long. Probalby the whole month of nonstop playing ... :/

You sound extremely enthusiastic about the game.

[HoonDing]

Ubisoft should've make Elise playable rather than focus on the co-op crap.

At least they got the memo in Syndicate.

I ended up hating the fact you had to co-op to do most of the newer activities.

 

I prefer to be antisocial.  Games don't seem to cater to me anymore.

Heh, yeah Destiny never was SP friendly much.

I've played it for 16 months straight after release... it will have to do better to hook me again.

Playing some Shadow Warrior on the PS4. A damn fine looking game and the gameplay just feel wild and frantic but also challenging. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for an old-school shooter. Shadow Warrior 2 is also on its way and I am pretty excited for that. Flying Wild Hog is shaping up to be a pretty awesome studio.

Me too, I bought Destiny at launch and had fun with it until I reached the point where I stumbled upon the games only raid that needed co-op but didn't offer any match-making(unlike the strikes and the multiplayer. Seriously, Bungie...wtf?!). The updates also made my hard-earned weapons feel useless so I just gave up.

 

If I ever jump into an MMO(or an MMO hybrid game like Destiny) again it will be either The Secret World or nothing at all. WildStar also briefly caught my attention but apparently the game becomes boring after a while.

Wildstar also has one of the worst UI's I've ever seen.

With MMOs, I have sworn off loot treadmill games entirely. I don't enjoy raiding, and every other game type (PvP) either requires raid gear or has its own treadmill. If something with player built economies shows up (where players/crafters build the gear) then I will give it a go.

 

EG - Something akin to UO or SWG with a facelift.

 

Also, instanced PvP should never be the only PvP. Admittedly, I'm an old school "red is dead" UO player. So, I have different desires than the MMO masses.

EVE Online? At least for the economy part (and the "no instanced PvP", I guess)

 

Anyway, besides Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen I've mostly been on a Warframe binge (with some ESO on the side). It's one of the things I really like about the game, while it's a grindy game in it's very nature you never "get behind" when you just don't feel like playing for a while. (and since they tend to send out emails when events occur that's usually a good moment to jump back into it for me). Usually when I get "back" after doing other stuff for a while I got a load of new content to play with, which is cool. A few more months and I'll hit the three year mark, barring WoW I don't think any online game has ever managed to keep my attention that long. But hey, murdering hordes of enemies hardly ever gets old...

 

I also checked out Ghost of a Tale, looking good, hope they do something about the camera for non-controller users (the camera has "pull", for lack of a better way to describe it), not gonna spoil too much before the final release though

Agreed on the Ghost of a Tale camera issue. Had to plug in the controller to play. Then it plays fine

[GhostofAnakin]

^^That's another one of my peeves about Destiny.  It forces you to play co-op in a lot of the activities, but does not provide for you an actual match making system to find people to play with.  The Raids, for instance.  I wouldn't mind tackling those.  But I don't have more than 1 friend who actually plays Destiny.  It would have been nice to have match making so I could find some randoms to do stuff with.

 

On a separate note, I think I actually preferred Mars War Logs to Technomancer.  I don't know why exactly, but the story drew me in more.

Apparently the current state is the first quarter of the game content complete, and it stops at the point where content starts becoming incomplete. So there shouldn't be spoilers, just a cliffhanger as you can't go on playing after a point.

[Vaeliorin]

Wildstar also has one of the worst UI's I've ever seen.

Also terrible combat mechanics. It's like they joined the worst of old school MMO combat with the worst of action MMO combat. I honestly have no idea how people ever thought it was going to be a WoW killer (although I guess every big name western MMO gets called a WoW killer.)

[Ganrich]

I played Eve for a while. It has some design decisions that hurt it in my eyes. I'm not knocking it, but I can't play it anymore. I'm glad people do play it though. It is a pretty good game, all in all.

[Mamoulian War]

After almost two years, I have booted up Tales of Xillia 2 again, and decided to do some Titles for trophies and some crafting, so I would be better at the Post Game Dungeon boss fights.

 

Thinking, that I should go soon for complete playthrough in New Game +, but I have to think a long time, what stuff should I buy in the Grade shop, now that I have unlocked a lot of Titles with 9 trophies in a day O.o

 

Completion was boosted from 28% to 44% in just one day. But now it will be much slower progress (

[Sannom]

I just completed The Book of Unwritten Tales 2, a german point & click adventure game. A much better game that its predecessor, even if a lot buggier. The story and stakes are a lot more interesting (especially early on), the big villain is more devious than he was before, the visuals are better, Ivo's clothing is nicer (by that I mean that she's wearing a dress, not a bikini), Tin Lizzy is funny and badass, Wilbur is adorable and awesome, Ivo is pregnant and awesome and Nate's alternative costume is hilarious and a real surprise.

 

My only gripe is this : I do not like Nate Bonnet. By extension, I hate that romance they're shoehorned in between Ivo and him. Hate it. What were they thinking?

[Bartimaeus]

running for your freaking life when you see a group of like 7 kobolds

[Sannom]

Commando kobolds with fire arrows are the worst. It was great catharsis finally being able to just plow through those monsters after a while!
