What are you playing right now?

[Labadal]

 

Thinking of replaying Shadows of the Damned. With so many open-world games around it will be refreshing.

I've been wanting to play that. It looks awesome, jeep forgetting about it!

I'm finally done with my BGII SoA/ToB playthrough. Took me around a year (played a lot of other games during this run).

 

I've now gone back to The Temple of Elemental Evil. Playing about 30-60 minutes a day.

I feel your pain, 30 munutes is about all I have time for (if that). On my sick days or more open days I might be lucky to get a few hours in... that's only once in a blue moon of course.

 

Oh, I have a bit more time than that actually, but I spend a maximum of 30-60 minutes on ToEE. Currently, I probably spend more time on games than anyone here. I do have periods when I can't play anything, though.

 

You an feel sorry for me for one other reason... The pathing in ToEE. It may be a game that I think is great, but once my characters are supposed to move from one place to another, I want to

It's awesome, dude. Probably the most underrated game I have ever played. The whole thing has this unique Franz Kafka-ish vibe to it that I haven't seen in any other game(except for Black Knight Sword maybe which was also made by Suda 51).

 

I wish the game would get a sequel one way or another(Platinum?!) but it was so poorly received by gamers that EA will probably never bother touching it. Very weird since the game had high review scores and it was advertised as 'a game made by Suda 51 & Shinji Mikami'...hell, even the soundtrack was made by Akira Yamaoka!

I'm so happy. The nords in ESO are more like the nords from Morrowind than from Skyrim. Just did the nakid Nord losing axe and clothes to a witch quest today. Made me smile

[Lexx]

Isn't that like 1:1 taken from Morrowind? :>

[Malcador]

Cosmonautica still. Finally got a kitchen, my crew can live off other stuff than Space Doritos

Dabbling a little with Banner Saga.

 

Only played about an hour of it so far.

Have you got a larger ship yet?

Yeah got the Sealot. Exhausted the tech tree so maybe will ditch the science room and try hauling passengers. Might finally get some gun as well.

Yep but different, hence why it made me smile. Was a bit pissed when Skyrim came out there wasn't any nakid nords and witches quests anywhere.

[Fenixp]

I have started NieR: Automata for the third time. It keeps me a little confused, yet intrigued.

[melkathi]

For those who care about the exploits of our crawlers:

After having been assigned liaisons for Aurora Starliners and shortly afterwards Gray Solutions (mostly because they found us a valuable purveyor of Boomslang inside information after we raided several facilities of the later), Astrohund Technologies also assigned us a contract liaison. This move was then echoed by Dablue Yutaki (who's founder in a quirky 4th Wall breaking way I am also friends with on Steam) and FoxKin Armory. Then, just now, GalaxyMart, owner of a lot of those Borderlands style vending machines, has also assigned us a liaison who now approved us for loyalty points and discounts. Yay

 

Dablue Yutaki also asked us to hit their competition in the world of corporate security contracts by raiding high priority targets and intentionally triggering the signal for the Paladin armed response. We did that once. It was a long and fairly tough fight. Labadal and Hurlshot both took quite the beating. But we came out of the raid victorious, and with more loot than we could carry. In fact we had to ditch stuff, and mostly ditched the alcohol we had found in the various offices; when Emer LT's reinforcements arrived we were long gone and all they found were a lot of bottles of grog and rum.

[Hurlshort]

Ditch the alcohol? Doesn't sound like me.  

[melkathi]

The stuff we carried was worth a whole lot more alcohol than the alcohol we ditched.

[SonicMage117]

Looks like I will finally be able to start Hollow Knight tonight... Finally!

[SonicMage117]

Uh oh double post! (Because my prior comment was from like 10 hours ago and it would be weird to mess with it now)...

 

 

Anyways,

I dod get a chance to play Hollow Knight and it was pretty amazing. I put around 4 or 5 hours in and felt like I made decent progress. I don't have much experience with Metroidvanias. I have a few but haven't really got to spend time playing them. This game though, consumed me.

 

Strangely, it really took me back to the time I saw The Land Before Time and I think it's because of that watercolored art style, the way it animates and the characters. Just beautiful.

 

Not bad for a cheap kickstarter game

[Katphood]

Playing a little bit of No Man's Sky. I am liking the survival aspects of the game but graphics can range from good to awful. Objects like rocks and trees also suddenly pop-in out of nowhere when you are flying around in a planet. Controls are also another bad part of the game, space battles are simply dreadful, it would be hard to top something this bad! Performance is good though, thanks to some recent patches, you can even unlock the framerate on the PS4 and it holds up well but it raises the fan speed of the PS4 significantly so I just keep it locked at 30.

[Mamoulian War]

Finished Tales of Xillia 2 with True Ending. It took me over 60 hours to reach the end credits. Unfortunatelly I was unable to defeat the final boss on Hardest Difficulty as all others, so I had to lower it for this last fight.

 

What I really like about japanese games and movies is, that they know how to make proper sad endings, which you still enjoy, because they make sense in the way how the story unfolds. Actually ToX 2 had no happy story ending at all :-D If you want to see happy end, you have to go deeply into post-game and finish a lot of optional content. I still have to pay off 14.5 million of Gald out of my debt to see again the obligated spa ending (another typical japanese thing, which I like about their games :-D)

 

The game is currently 88% complete, and I am still missing two most time consuming trophies. The hardest bossfight in coliseum and reaching lvl 250 with all characters.

 

Also there is lot of hidden stuff in the game. I am currently using two english and two japaneses guides to see all the stuff, and I Have still missed some stuff. If a player wants to see all content and fill up all the item/monster/skit encyclopedias, he has to play the game at least three times. My completionist OCD will be really itching after I get the Platinum in this game, but I have currently such a big backlog, that I probably will have to be satisfied with 99.5% of the content explored, and just go and jump right into Tales of Berseria or Platinum run of Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory.

Japanese games do a better job with ending in general (and this is coming from a guy who doesn't typically like jrpgs). Sometimes they go a little over board with the act three lead up and they're infamous for 'shadow bosses', but on a case per case comparison they blow wrpgs out of the water for endings.

[Fenixp]

Holy carp, NieR: Automata was insane. Finished it for the third time (and you really want to do that to see majority of what that game's narrative has to offer) and it was a blast - the game just kept bombarding me with surprises, both gameplay and narrative related. Well done, Yoko Taro and Platinum. Well done.

Did you see the [E]nd?

No, I'm yet to try another decision at the end of the game. Edited April 20, 2017 by Fenixp

A friend was nice enough to gift me Nier: Automata for my birthday, so I'm having fun with that when I have spare time.

[Keyrock]

I killed the world 2 boss in Yooka-Laylee. That makes 2 worlds I now have mostly completed (world 1 probably over 90% and world 2 at likely around 75%). The game only has 5 worlds, plus the overworld, but the worlds are pretty huge and have a ton of stuff to do and find in each of them. I have found and unlocked world 3, but I feel like I'm missing an ability to progress in it.

[Katphood]

I'm on my second playthrough in Nier: Automata and it still feels fresh and entertaining. Trying different combination of weapons and fusing chips together is also fun. 

 

So far I've only achieved the endings [A] and [W].

[Fenixp]

Got the [E]nding. Got through the credits sequence. Answered "Yes" to everything that came after it. I feel... Like I won't ever forget this game.
