What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Finally bought and started Octodad. First game I'm playing on my computer with a gamepad (I know, I'm quite late to the party here).

It's a really shitty gamepad tho and won't work with Binding of Isaac, which sucks...

 

Also : is Shovel Knight really worth 15€ ? It's out on Mac finally but 15€ for an indie, 8-bit looking game is quite a lot so...

[Rubin Farr]

It's one of the best retro 8 bit games but yeah that's expensive

[Silent Member]

PSN ddos attack is starting to piss me off. I can't even get the digital download versions of single player games to start. What shit.

[autopilot]

Give it up for internet-required console DRM.

Do you have a PS3 controller? You can hook that up and use it if you do, although you'll need a program like Motioninjoy for it to work right.

 

Also I only just started using a gamepad too, good stuff >

Played through good chunk of Shadowgate on NES last night. Omg this game is classic... The atmosphere still cuts through :)

 

Prompted me to buy Eternal Darkness on gamecube. Have mostly overlooked the horror genre so im pretty stoked^^ (just to wait for delivery on that one..)

[Bechuga]

Completed Portal for the first time, late to the party (and cake) but good, definitely worth the hype it received. Now to play Portal 2, got the two for £3.50.

[juiceciuj]

portal is so awesome the first time you beat it. 2 seems a bit overblown imo. first one just got everything so right

[747Music]

I have DriveClub and AC:Unity on their way in the mail. Grabbed them for $30 each.

Warlords of Draenor continues to entertain me along with Dragon Age: Inquisition.

scooped nidhogg psvita/ps4 for 8.99 on sale this week. i assume most people would think it's overpriced as it's basically a 2 player couch coop game with practically no story/single player. only one character and four levels. it's really pretty fucking cool though. hoping a couple of my friendos will play it with me but they're usually sore sports and won't play anything after losing a couple of bouts -_-

[Guest bitroast]

oh man nidhogg is THE 2 player couch game. i mean. it wears thin a bit and you have to know when to switch it off but if you have mates over playing games its worth whipping it out and having a few games :) ultra competitive and good screamy fun.

 

speaking of which, played smash bros wii u last night with 4 peeps. that game is solid. first time i've really wanted to own a smash bros game and play through it 1 player. it plays alot like the gamecube one but finetuned to such a ridiculous extent that it feels kind of perfect?? v impressed :)

[juiceciuj]

^awes. i'm hoping the whole simple to learn, hard to master aspect will appeal to people. really stoked for samurai gunn too (which was supposed to release this year on ps4/vita but has apparently been delayed) for the same reasons

ab-so-lu-te-ly stunning, bravo playstation, bravo naughty dog

I've been enjoying the extremely challenging "A City Sleeps". Synaesthetic (like Rez) bullet hell game by Harmonix.

Shovel Knight was the best time I have had with a game for quite some time. Totally worth the money. Its more than just a nostalgia sale, there is a legitimately great game in there.

Currently playing Elite: Dangerous. It's absolutely incredible.

[Mr.Sensi]

Tried to play Diablo 3 again. Still shit.

[juiceciuj]

^having loads of fun running through it on ps4 with the missus. it's fucking bonkers easy so far though. she's playing a crusader to my wizard and any large mobs we just run in and cast two aoes and everything's dead :\

You have to beat it a couple times to up the difficulty. Which is unfortunate since Diablo 3 is so mind numbingly boring after you beat it once.

[juiceciuj]

the new modes read like they're kind of interesting but have to be beaten first to access them. i've never been the type to beat a diablo game more than once at a time so the whole "botched end game" doesn't really bother me. is kinda shitty that it doesn't ever get hard though... i haven't come close to dying once =\

[pcock]

the 360 version was a joke, i completed inferno mode in about 4 hours, dying 3 times.

[Stock]

Just finished Octodad after...3 hours of playing. I knew it wasn't the longest game ever but didn't thought it was THAT short. Still need to play the 2 bonus levels and unlock all achievements tho

 

Oh and the Steam Sales really got me mad, I just bought Kerbal Space Program. Tried to build rockets for an hour and a half but never managed to put them on orbit. The game looks awesome but so hard to learn, I hope I won't give up too early !

Although I'm three years late, I've been playing Skyrim for the past month. Think I can see why it got high praise. It's also nice to have a laptop on which it performs well.

[autopilot]

Skyrim is a beast. On one hand, it's an amazingly realized open world with varied locations that's beautiful and fun to explore, and the stealth mechanics aren't all that bad. The world-building in terms of how it fits into the Elder Scrolls mythos and how carefully they've constructed the universe through the dialogue, environmental storytelling, & in-game books is mindblowing.

 

On the other hand, it plays like complete shit. Like, the actual combat/AI/controls are garbage. I'm glad I played it before playing the recent Far Cry games, because now trying to go back & play Skyrim after playing an open-world game that's actually fun to play in addition to being fun to explore, I find myself very frustrated with it.
