So, what're you playing?

I don't understand why Seiko wouldn't allow them to use their brand name for that scene

Speaking of Japan, I've been playing some Binary Domain recently (saw it a few weeks ago on a humble sale, and I remembered rk47's radicalthon of it), and holy shit, it really is like playing a super-cheesy 90s action movie. The keyboard/mouse controls are a bit annoying, but I got used to them eventually!

Played Bioshock Infinite.  I want some of Ken Levine's drugs.

The most amazing part of Binary Domain's script was the localization picks of the voice actors and direction actually improved upon the game.
If you watched the game in its native language (Japanese) it wouldn't be as awesome.
Since this game was actually made and written by Japanese, it's probably a once in a blue moon that such localization got it so right.
And what does SEGA do with it? Port it over with no marketing and little fanfare to the West.

LOTS OF D3.  I think my arm is actually starting to get use to the abuse. Maybe it has toughened up, or perhaps just simply accepted its fate. 

Also, I've just started playing TSW again.  I wonder how long before my build is revealed to be trash and unsuitable for anything other than Kingsmouth.    This game is a little brutal on the video card for some very non-impressive visuals.  Yay Funcom.   Anyhow, still love the dialogue and setting.  Will be a nice respite while I'm currently bored with GW2.

I got into the Strife beta last night. I've got 3 extra keys if anyone wants them. It's a casual-ish MOBA like LOL with a few tweaks on the formula such as pets and in-game AI bots you kill bosses to add to your team for a few minutes. PM me if you want a key.

[Yegolev]

I doubt there is a MOBA that is casual enough for me.

I'm mostly plugging away at Dark Souls II.  Some Lego Movie Game as well.

Found out yesterday that there is a Lego Hobbit, so that's ordered.

Played some PvZ: Garden Warfare, and it's pretty decent.  Also, I don't suck rocks like in other team shooters.

Updating firmware on a PureFlex chassis is kind of like a game.

[Falconeer]

Dark Souls 2, because I am 80 hours into the game and I am not even done with the first playthrough, and I don't want to be done with it. I still prefer the previous two chapters, but it's impossible not to love this.

Elder Scrolls Online, because friends picked it up and wanted to play together, but I am lagging behind gathering everything, exploring every nook, reading every quest, and enjoying the sheer amount of content they crammed into this.

Smite because it's just an awesome PvP game and it's an extremely satisfying way to spend 20 minutes every day. Also, I just got promoted to the Platinum arena league so I gotta keep it up.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 every night before going to sleep. To go to sleep.

Minecraft with a well-modded server, hd textures (128x128 is what I'm using) and a shader pack is a better game than every attempt to make a new minecraft. If only I could run the shaders with more than 10-15 fps on my GTX460SLI setup...and that's only medium quality shaders.

I can't wait until we can update to 1.7.x at some point, because that supports normal mapping. Chroma Hills resource pack also supports normal mapping, but the mod support is much lighter than the Sphax pack we're currently using.

Then there's vonDoomcraft, which I wish wasn't so rough around the edges, because it might be the most amazing texture pack in existence. Space Marines, Evil Dead, super heroes, dark themes.

I'm really enjoying Diablo 3, now it's just pure and fun entertainment :)

Beside that, I'm finally trying to umm..."play" the free DCS World module (the Su-25t plane) on Steam. It's just all sort of awesome if you're into this kind of thing (and the "free" plane is definitely more accessible than the other ones, like the A-10). I felt pretty good when I finally managed to execute the (small amount for that plane) pre-flight ops, taxi it to the runway and take off, even with a simple gamepad. I guess I'll eventually get better once I receive the thrustmaster HOTAS setup I ordered a couple days ago (a relatively cheap one, just 50 bucks, don't want all that ultra-expensive models, like the Warthog or the Rhino).

What texture pack is that?

[Sky]

I just grabbed a random screenshot for the shaders, but I'd say it's Sphax purebdcraft. I've put together a 128x sphax pack for Nix's server that covers most of the mods (and he's baked in a TON) and it really enhances the game quite a bit.

[Hoppala]

Thaught of playing D3 addon, after having some lvl 60s, but didnt buy it yet. Some round BF3, some rounds Dota 2 and Eve Online a lot lately. Elder Scrolls Online seems to be a very bad game so far.

[Ingmar]

A little D3 and SWTOR, but hardly anything compared to years past in terms of hours of gaming overall. I'm starting to get problems with my hands aching when I play just about anything for longer than an hour - maybe related to exercising, that puts a pretty big strain on my hands I guess.

[Goreschach]

Kb and mouse? It could be your table setup. Most people seem to have their tables way too low, and it puts the wrists at a weird angle.

[Yegolev]

Mostly LEGO The Hobbit, which is pretty good.
Tiny bit of Borderlands 2.
Dark Souls 2, also in small amounts.  Still working on clearing the path to Jabba.  The finite spawns in this game cause me to compulsively clear areas and obsess over retaining all souls.

I want to play some Gran Turismo again.  I found a nice PS3 wheel thanks to Lucas' neckbeard airplane thread that seems to have a functional lap thing rather than requiring a table to clamp to.  It is also only $50.  My wife then says "Don't you want something that is PS4 compatible?", to which I reply affirmatively and now I'm back to being unable to commit to a racing wheel.  This is the state I have been in since the original Gran Turismo.

Maybe, but that hasn't changed in 10+ years. It's worth re-evaluating though yeah. I think it's mostly the kendo, that's the only thing that's really changed other than my slow spiral of old age.

Ah. You must be in your 40's. Don't worry, it speeds up! 

[Ingmar]

Not for another 3 months. 

[Jeff Kelly]

I'm pretty much hate-playing hearthstone right now 

[Kail]

Just finished Divinity: Dragon Commander, had a lot of fun with it.  It's pretty much an RTS for people who don't really like RTS.  The core gameplay is an RTS game, and it's incredibly shallow and not very fun (one faction, one resource, no worker units, pre-built buildings, etc.) BUUUUUUT the game lets you transform in to a giant fucking dragon and nuke everyone.  It would be like playing StarCraft, but you get to fly around in a Battlecruiser in first person one shotting enemies.  Totally unbalanced and not very skill intensive, but it's still pretty fun.

And then around that they wrapped a bunch of neat stuff.  You instigate battles by a Risk-style turn based wargame, a mechanic I wish more RTS would use (I loved it in WH40K Dawn of War).  And that mechanic is broken up by discussions with people on board your airship, from chatting with your generals about their personal problems to making edicts and governing your kingdom.  Political commentary is pretty ham fisted (hearing elves and dwarves giving their opinions on gay rights is extremey  ) but it's a neat attempt at making a more complex "world" in a RTS.

I just got a copy of Daylight. Let's see what this is about.

[Cyrrex]

I decided to finally give Dark Souls an earnest effort.  My first attempt back when it came out sorta aborted around where you meet the Belfry Gargoyles, so I never made it very far.  Not because I didn't like it...but it didn't quite grab me like Demon Souls did, and other shit probably came out or something and took me away from it.

Anyway, have made it quite a good bit further now on this second run through.  It feels stickier this time.  Those guys just really know how to craft a god damn game.  Both simplistic and clever at the same time, somehow, and just brutal, visceral, wonderful combat.  Every game ever should do combat just like this.  Even going through the same sections over and over again rarely gets boring, and it is so rewarding to get past shit that once vexed you.  And the bosses are beyond great.  Controller smashing, CD flinging great.

Obvious comments are obvious, but I just had to get it out.

[Paelos]

Started playing State of Decay. I like the game, but the zombie spawning mechanics seem a bit off to me.

[Rasix]

A little burnt out on D3, since I've played it a damn ton since the expansion.   GW2, I think I'm done with until they start pushing out more Living Story content.  May be just done in general, I've played it a lot. I can't be assed to help my guild in this new stupid WvW tourney.  I'm a dedicated WvW player, but I don't like it when there's a bunch of achievements and try-hard incentives attached. 

So, I've been in a bit of a lull and trying to find things to play.   Here's what I've tried/am trying:

TSW:  This didn't work.  It's weird to go back to a MMO and pretty much not see any QoL improvement.  It really felt like the same game.  So, it all just felt like something I'd done less than 2 hours into it.  I don't think I'll continue.

Dark Souls on PC:  Holy shit.  Fuck GFWL in it's stupid ass.  After getting that sorted out, I got dsfix installed and my graphical options corrected (with AA on, it was messing up hard). I wanted to use my controller but the stupid mouse pointer wouldn't go away.  The controls feel fucking terrible.  I might be better off just playing this on my PS3.

SWTOR:  I dunno, coming back to this game is always a bit overwhelming.  Your inventory is chock full of crap that you have no idea what it is, the mouse turning is crazy even on its lowest setting, and your current quests make no sense. I couldn't even remember what my guy did last.  Loading screen helps some.   

GTA V:  I may be over this style of game.  While the voice acting and situations in the beginning were kind of funny, everything you do feels templated from any earlier version.  Oh, I'm going to chase another motorcycle (they even joke about this shit) with a seriously crappy car.  JOY.  The character switching is more annoying than feature and the controls feel shitty.  I think these control issues may stem from not playing a console game in like a year.  I will probably play some more of this, just to get to whatever crazy shit they'll have me do with Trevor.  Michael is annoying as hell and Franklin is just CJ++ at this point.

[Yegolev]

You mean CJ--, right?

[Tannhauser]

Rift has taken GW2's place as my MMO fix.  I think I'm done with GW2 until they offer some content for a solo player.  Great game just not much left to explore.  Rift still has content I've not done and some of the souls are kinda fun to mess around with.

Civ V-Currently trying for a culture win as India.  It's quite hard for an old wargamer like me not to attack and play a deliberate, peaceful game.

D3-Just a damn pleasure to play now.

[Signe]

I'm stuck, too.  I canceled the ESO because everyone knows why.  Landmark is fun to fool around with but it's not like a game game.  Shroud of the Avatar isn't even a game yet and it's only open sometimes and it makes me confused and disoriented.  And it's ugly.  The other ones mentioned in the last few posts I've already played or have no interest in.  Someone help or I swear I'll go back to horror survival games!!!  I never did play Condemned 2.  The first one was pretty scary.  Anyone play the re-mastered Doom game?

[Paelos]

State of Decay is fun as a zombie survival sandbox if you're into that sort of thing.

[Yegolev]

State of Decay is cool, but I hope you like orange.

I've been playing Lego The Hobbit with my wife and Terraria (360) with one of my deranged friends.  After making new characters and avoiding the piggy bank and safe, we haven't lost any more items.

Some amount of Borderlands 2 when I can get away with it.  I still haven't done many of the quests, so I'm using my lv72 in Normal to complete these.

Also playing that other game that I'm not going to admit to playing.

[Paelos]

Is that game something rk47 would be playing? 

[Signe]

ARE YOU PLAYING A SEX GAME, YEGOLEV?? 

Shame on you.

Anyway, yes, I like orange.  Amsterdam is one of my favourite places.  And I like oranges as a fruit.  I'll give it a go if I can find it in a box of any colour, which I can't.  :(  I hate buying digital stuff. 

[Falconeer]

Dark Souls 2 ate my gaming life. I spent the last month and a half playing it to death on the PS3. Then I bought the PC version, and started again. When I play other things lately, all I can think is "nice, but why can't this be little more like Dark Souls?". Then I quit, and load up Dark Souls again.

[Rendakor]

Mostly playing Hex, futzing around with silly bad constructed decks since nothing matters yet.

Also some Path of Exile; I got an EK toon nearing the end of Merciless and the damage is just nasty. Way higher than any other character I've ever played.

I've got a bunch of console and handheld games too that I haven't opened/played more than 5 minutes of: Tales of Symphonia HD, Conception 2, Demon Gaze, and whatever the newest Atelier game is called. I should probably start one of them, but making fun of noobs on the Hex forums is more fun.

[Signe]

You're a troll and a griefer, Rendakor, and you can be in my guild when EQ Shadowbane is released.
