So, what're you playing?

[Paelos]

I'm playing Witcher 3. I like the game except for the amount of inventory nonsense.

[jakonovski]

I made a big mistake and bought Far Cry 4. The gunplay is ok but fuck me it's made by the rape horse team. Except it's the roving bands of teleport rhinos that do the raping.

First I did a mission where it says to lay mines. But hey, I haven't stumbled on the tutorial to lay mines, so I can't pick up mines. I bought a gun. But turns out I could've got it for free, but I just hadn't stumbled on the free gun guy!

Then I come across this great emergent gameplay as I hijack a truck and get a mission to deliver it to base for a reward. But noooo, there's a fucking coop douchebag cutscene outside the base, so it autotriggers from inside the truck, 50 feet away. And after it's done, the truck doesn't count as the mission truck anymore.

THANKS UBISOFT.

After I put down Farcry 3 in disgust from the ridiculous junglecat rape, I gave up.

Finally got my new rig together. Playing through Homeworld Remastered now.

Fuck I hated that game. I would have liked to kick every dumbass who told me it was "open world" in the nuts, because it's not only not open world, it has the single most awful group of characters to play ever. Anybody who complains about bland Bethesda characters should have to be locked inside Jason Brody for the rest of their gaming lives.

Bloodborne was cool and good. I just started the DLC.

[Chimpy]

I need to find a new mindless time-waster Free-to-play game for my phone for when I ride the bus to work or sitting in airports. Any suggestions?

I finished the last available level in Candy Crush (level 1355) this morning never spending a cent. I made a pact with myself that as soon as I beat it, I would be able to quit.

Summoner's War is a monster collection team fight game that accidentally became decent on account of two elements

1. autoplay in battles

2. you don't need to pay them a red cent to play; all available pay packs are obviously pathetically not worth it to anyone who understands the math behind the drop percentages. so you can do about just as well as people who are spending literally thousands of dollars on the game.

[Ironwood]

Dead Money is a fucking awful DLC.  Fuck Sake.

[Jeff Kelly]

I usually skip it and tend to just play Old World Blues and Lonesome Road. Fuck that red fogged Casino maze.

[apocrypha]

Yeah Dead Money was the turd of the bunch. Lonesome Road was good, liked that one.

I'm playing something I must have kickstarter'd ages ago called Stonehearth. It's a Dwarf Fortress uber-lite, Settlers-esque village building thing. A nice simple distraction. I can feel Minecraft or KSP coming back soon though... 

[Gimfain]

Playing devil may cry 4 on the PC. It has one aspect I don't miss in modern games, cameras that are locked in wrong angle to screw with your visibility.

[jakonovski]

Far Cry 4 is improving and using signature (ie. blingy) versions of old guns is kinda cool. Plus I had this weird moment where the sound design resonated in my brain. Gunshots with reverb and background music remniscent of the original Terminator had me all pumped all of a sudden.

So I googled it and yes, this scene is still among the greatest of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbIPAkVB1Vc

Too bad the game can only get there by accident.

 

[Pennilenko]

Xenoblade Chronicles X on the WiiU. I am thoroughly enjoying it. However, I am easily entertained.

[HaemishM]

I have now finished Shadowrun: Dragonfall and damn was it good. Now I have to pick something else from my backlog to clear out.

Marvel Puzzle Quest is my current addiction for the bus, has been for over a year now. It's definitely worth a try if you liked any of the previous Puzzle Quests, even if you aren't into superheroes.

[Signe]

What kind of bus?

Check out SK: Hong Kong if you're not burnt out on the mythos yet Street Samurai.

[Draegan]

I logged into the new WOW expansion alpha for 5 seconds before I logged out.

Dead Money is a fucking awful DLC.  Fuck Sake.

Dead Money is actually the best DLC. It just so happens to have the most annoying gimmick (the exploding collar).

Also in what world is Lonesome Road good; it's a shitty shooting gallery of annoying enemies and Ulysses is a complete fucking douche with no good reason to hate you. I had enough speech to convince him to give up and I blew his head off for all the pretentious logs I had to listen to while meandering through the divide. Fuck you and your "THE BULL AND THE BEAR" shit.

[Rendakor]

The exploding collar isn't the only annoying thing; the fact that they take all your equipment away was fucking obnoxious. Then you get through the whole stupid thing and can't even carry out all the loot without modding up your carrying capacity. I did that shit DLC once and never again.

Actually you can; just gib Elijah or carry a part of a corpse into the vault, stuff all the gold into it, then carry it out during the exit sequence.

[Rendakor]

Which is only a little less cheesy than modding your carry weight.

[schild]

Got into the Fortnite Alpha. It's under an entirely unforceable NDA. I have not played it yet.

Okay, you got me into this, so how do I friend you? Can't complete the daily missions without friends.

I'm playing the Witcher 3, and it seems like I get maybe one quest line completed per session. They just go on until I realize it's time for sleep.

[Yegolev]

That seems to be similar to how I'm fumbling through Fallout 4.  Just add in lots of time crafting and managing inventory at the Red Rocket Fortress.

[Jimbo]

Been playing PlanetSide 2 still, but took up the all access, EQ and EQ2 were meh, deleted them, then tried DCU online. Seems a bit like City of Heroes so it has my attention. I'm thinking of getting Dirty Bomb. Looks like a fun FPS. Out of the the three coming out, the one from Gearbox Battleborn, Blizzards Overwatch, and Star Wars Battlefront 3 for PC (gals and guys from work are playing it on PC at one hospital, best friend is playing it on PS4 which my son got me for Christmas!), you guys have any other suggestions? Tribes or Metro might be fun, I re-installed BF4 since I have it and the season pass.

Edit * Oh, forgot, I want Borderlands The Pre-Sequel, Fallout 4, and maybe the Elder Scrolls Online. I have been playing Skyrim since it is beautiful and fun as hell on the PC!*

[Yegolev]

The Pre-Sequel is almost as much fun as Borderlands 2.  It will actually be more fun if you like the low gravity or have really wanted to play as Claptrap.

Elder Scrolls Online is actually Inventory Bags Online.

[Jimbo]

Thanks! Oh I saw HaemishM recommended Shadowrun, I loved that genre of RPG (and the Sega Genesis version), I might get Wasteland too. Thanks on the heads up on ESO, I'll skip it then, and might pick up the one where it has all the Elder Scrolls games or the Fallout earlier games. Next I'll have to get some more PS4 games.

As someone who didn't want to play Claptrap and didn't like the low gravity, BL:TPS didn't hook me like BL2. The fact that none of my regular buddies picked it up didn't help.

You can get both Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall for tablets as well (not sure about Hong Kong).  I have Dragonfall for both PC and tablet and it doesn't suffer game play wise on a tablet, though I recommend using one of those pen thingys.

Right.  We all ended up buying the Handsome Collection on PS4 but my buddies quickly wanted to go back to BL2.  I mean, we had fun torturing teammates with Claptrap's vaulthunter.exe but apparently that got old with everyone quickly.  BL2 will be Gearbox's Purple Rain.  TPS is more like Batdance, which I enjoyed but is no longer part of the concert tour.

ESO isn't bad, and in fact is pretty good for a MMO but you'd better either ignore crafting or enjoy it a fucking lot.  It's not multiplayer Elder Scrolls, if that's what you are looking for.

[Jeff Kelly]

The Shadow Complex remastered version for PC is available and free (until the 31st of the december) so I've been playing that a bit.
