So, what're you playing?

Bethesda is doing its own E3 press conference for the first time and it's actually going to be the night before all the other big pressers. Whether or not they're announcing a new Fallout game, that does indicate that they've got something big to show off.

[Trippy]

Umm...it's DOOM 4 that they'll be announcing.

[Signe]

    

I'll play Doom though, too.

Yes, they'll be showing some gameplay for the new Doom game, but I'm pretty sure that won't be the entirety of the conference. Skyrim was released in 2011, and Arkane's hasn't released anything since Dishonored in 2012, so presumably these studios have to announce something at some point. This is E3 we're talking about though, where disappointment is always on the menu, so it's possible we'll just see Doom, Battlecry, and some Elder Scrolls Online expansion.

Whoops.

Today is the 12th happiest day of my life.  It doesn't take much.

[MisterNoisy]

God help me, I'm playing the crap out of Puzzle and Dragon on the phone.  Also GTAO still - I still enjoy the freeroam and heist stuff.

[Lantyssa]

Puzzles & Dragons is a secret love of mine.

[Yegolev]

I have to take a break from Destiny after completing the House of Wolves story and then having my ass stomped into a waffle both in the Prison of Elders and (of course) in the Trials of Osiris.  I did manage to get a Widget from the Nightfall last week (fucking Archon!), and of course I stuck it in my Vision of Confluence instead of any armor and thus remain at lv32, but you'd all have done the same.  YOU'D ALL HAVE DONE THE SAME.

In its place, I'm learning a lot about weather forecasting systems, as well as some SP Dragon Age 3.

Playing out the last few missions of GTA5 on PC, now with my new 970 card making things all pretty and stuff.  Have also fired up Witcher 3 that I got with the card just to kick the tires a bit, but I will wait until I finish GTA5 before I really dive in.

Also playing Final Fantasy X re-master for the PS4.  Because go fuck yourself.

[Lucas]

Loving Desktop Dungeons and its cloud saving system (so that you can also play it on the browser, mobile, etc.) . If the majority of casual videogame players would play this instead of Candy Crush Saga, the world would be a better place.


Ok, maybe not, but I still like it 

[Ironwood]

Ok, I know it's on sale and it's tempting but for the love of God, please don't pick up Heart of the Swarm.

Because I did and it was a quick, awful disappointment.  Like some back alley blowjob from your Granny.

[koro]

Loaded up Daggerfall for the first time in... ten or so years? Was my first TES game and I loved it as a kid.

Still pretty fun, but the jank is strong.

[Yegolev]

I decided to play Rogue Galaxy last night instead of trying Prison of Elders again.

My son is really, really into Splatoon.

FF13-2 and I ordered Lost Odyssey and Tales of Somethingorother on a recommendation from here.  Thank you, recommender! 

[Rendakor]

You're welcome.

[Malakili]

I've joined up with a really well organized outfit in Planetside 2 and its some of the best gaming I've done in years.

[Flood]

- ARK, on a "private" server, which is just an unofficial server with a slightly tweaked rule set.  Having a good time and the performance is better than "official" servers

- Grey Goo.  Bought it during the Steam sale, scratch the RTS itch.  Swear the voice actor for one of the faction units is the same guy from WH40k Soulstorm (which is a good thing)

- I *should* be keeping up with my Warframe time but I'm not.  I'm sure I'll cycl back around to it with the new Prime Access comes out.

[Signe]

So I dl'd EoS and so far it's exactly like every old run of the mill common as muck Asian MMORPG.   Of course, I'm only level 6 and have only played for a half hour or so, but still... the hype makes it sound like it's different that the others.  I hate hype.  It's only beta, though, so maybe other stuffs will happen.  Probably not.  It's been out for a couple of years in the country of where ever it's from. 

[Yegolev]

LEGO Jurassic World with the wife, and LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean solo.  Also some Rogue Galaxy.

Thanks to Father's Day promises to leave me the fuck alone for a few hours, I was able to play HEX for the first time in forever.  Thankfully PvE works, since promises were not kept.

I tried dl it from Steam since today is the first day it was available on Steam.  I ended up uninstalling before I even got to play because every time I install the client, my anti virus goes ape shit telling me it's a Trojan.  I want to try it out but not enough to risk my computer.  Until they sort their shit out, pass.

This from a guy who quit WoW when they went to the daily model.

Still grinding away in WoT. Started playing some World of Warships CBT as well, and having a lot of fun with it. Looking forward to open beta/launch. Picked up a few games during the Steam sale, so I have played some NBA 2k15 and just started scratching the surface of Worlds of Magic.

[Kail]

Daily reset Heroes of the Storm Quests

I was playing HotS yesterday, after the game got a tell from Nebu saying "good game".  I hadn't even realized we were on the same team, I must have gone the entire round without looking at anyone's name

Disabled ally chat?

I bought GalCiv3 the other day. I'm looking at it askance on my desktop. Not sure if I'm ready to take that plunge.

[Rendakor]

Since someone asked in the Steam sale thread...

Haven't touched Omega Quintet in a while, but I would still like to go back to it. It was a lot of fun, I just haven't been home much.

Played Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed for a week or so, but now I'm bored with it. You unlock all the characters right at the beginning, and even after several hours of play I had yet to get any new costume pieces. Leveling up makes your numbers bigger but doesn't give you any new abilities; all told it felt really repetitive, which is often the criticism of Tamsoft games so I'm not surprised. I'm going to hang onto it though, as it's a good distraction when I only have 5-15 minutes to kill.

Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy is really good; it's the spiritual successor to Demon Gaze but set in a modern Japan witih demons ala Megaten. No one does hand held dungeon crawling like Etrian Odyssey, but this comes fairly close. The dungeons are complex, the equipment system is pretty deep and the monster art is pretty. If you have a Vita, this is a game you should be playing.

[Yegolev]

I'll put Operation Abyss on the list.

[Zetor]

Yea, I've been playing OA as well. I'm a bit disappointed in the quality of the port -- a lot of the original series' complexity was dumbed down streamlined away (there's no point to multiclassing anymore which really restricts party building, the stat system is pretty much Demon Gaze-style "just pump the optimal stat until maxed" now, etc) and the new art direction / translation makes me a bit stabby. Even with that, it's one of the best dungeon crawlers available on the market, especially when it comes to dungeon design.

[MisterNoisy]

Got Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 when it was on sale just because, and I find that it's strangely relaxing.

[Samwise]

Just finished Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.


Also been playing a bit of Binding of Isaac.  Much like Risk of Rain, it starts off seeming impossibly hard, and then this morning I had a run where by the end I was completely maxed out on hearts, I had a reusable item that just gave me new blue hearts, I had a meatboy pet that ran around the screen killing things for me, and a swarm of flies circling me that would kill things even faster than the meatboy.  Plus all kinds of defensive and offensive upgrades.  I killed the final boss in one hit.  I feel like that was probably a peak and it's time to play something else now.

Cat Lady might be next.  Need to play more of the stuff from the summer sale.

[Druzil]

I need to try and get into Risk of Rain again.  I really want to like it but I seem to hit a wall where I'm not making any progress.  I can never figure out if it's better to rush through early levels or take it slow.

I'm mainly re-playing FFXIII.  Made it to chapter 11 and I'm slowly working through the cie'th stones.

The starting guy (the Commando) is hard to play IMO, so the big breakthrough will come when you find a character you can use well.

Similarly, Binding of Isaac got a lot easier when I unlocked Azazel and learned how to play him.  The lack of red hearts is a bitch, but once you get the hang of him you can avoid damage most of the time and kill things ridiculously fast.
