So, what're you playing?

[Fabricated]

Replaying XCOM:EW again, some PayDay2 again, some D3.

[jakonovski]

I drifted back into GW2 for some reason. Never got very far but I'm trying again.

[Yegolev]

Hmm.  GW2.  I can at least see if my interest lasts past the patching.

[Rendakor]

Lots of Hex. Keep meaning to fire up Demon Gaze on the Vita for the wait between tournament games, but I know I need to give any new RPG an hour or so to get past the tutorial, opening cinematic, etc. and that's always the least fun bit. Conception 2 is also in the "unopened Vita games I need to start" pile.

[Falconeer]

Trying for the millonth time to finish Dragon Age 2.

Also, picked up Blade Symphony for 9€ on Steam. Sword dueling is fun.

Mini-review
Thanks to a friend I finally installed another game aside from Corruption of Champion on my android pad.
I have reservations... do you?



Hmm...

[Rendakor]

Thanks for the writeup rk. Looks cool but the link didn't work on my phone. Searched school idol and found it though.

[PalmTrees]

Recently finished Amalur, and then the Shadowrun dlc, both decent. Trying to play Last of Us, but my ps3 keeps shutting itself off after 15-20 min. I guess it's tired of Uncharted gameplay too, or maybe it's busted and overheating. Dunno if I'm gonna bother to send it in for service, haven't tuned the thing on in I don't know how many months, maybe even a year. So I'm installing civ 5, take over the world a few times.

[Phildo]

I found a mod for Shadowrun that lets you basically create an overpowered character for importing into other modules.  My 900 karma street samurai with max decking and rigging is going to roll.

[Signe]

I nominate rk for a blue name and that this be put on the front page we allegedly have.  srsly.  I can't play it but it was a review!

[rk47]

  Baby, you complete me.

[Pennilenko]

Has rk47 contributed enough awesomeness, among other things, to be a contributor?

[schild]

Look at his title.

[Signe]

You mean his tittle, right?  Anyway, I was going to pick up Charlie Murder but just saw that the freebie xbox gold games this month are  Dark Souls, Charlie Murder, and the bonus title, Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.  So I won't.  Yay!  And Super Street Fighter, which is good because my nephew stole all my fighting games.  Le sigh.  I can't remember if I have Dark Souls for the PC or the 360 which doesn't matter as that seems to have gone missing too! 

[Tarami]

Has anyone played the new Wolfenstein? Is it any good, even as a mindless shooter? I'm not expecting nor requiring a cerebral experience, just solid shooter element.

[Shrike]

Reviews are saying it's the greatest thing since DOOM II for FPSs. They say it has an interesting riff on modern shooter environments combined with old-skool mechanics and protagonist.

I'm pleased to see it fare well with the critics, but I have a hard time shelling out $60 for any FPS. It's on my watch list for the holiday sales, however.

[Rasix]

We're not exactly the audience, unless Nonentity wants to chime in.   

[Fordel]

Transistor is gorgeous and haunting and under 10 hours.

It's a clever little game that follows in Bastion's footsteps providing pretty good gameplay wrapped up in some of the best presentation around. It has this pseudo turn-based budgeted action combat system that differentiates it from Bastion, less dodge/roll/block and more think/plan/manage. The world itself is beautiful, the music is fantastic and the setting utterly immersive. Definitely a game where I went "oh is it 4am already?  ".


The downside is it does seem to be really short, finished my first play-through in roughly 8-9 hours I want to say. There also seem to be some technical issues, memory leak or something. I'll play for about an hour just fine, then the game turns all laggy and jumpy and FPS goes to poop... then I restart it and it plays fine for how ever many hours I end up playing it.


Best interactive soundtrack I've played! As long as Supergiant keeps making these things I'll keep buying them.

[Ingmar]

Stupid thing had to come out while I'm stuck out of the apartment. And I broke my desk so I don't have anywhere to put my computer when I get back into it. 

[Hawkbit]

I'm currently playing GTAV, which I stopped last year at the 15% completion point.  It really makes me want a new Red Dead game. 

I'm also playing "trying to prevent myself from preordering Watch_Dogs".

I wouldn't buy a fucking thing over $20 right a month or so before the Steam Summer Sale.

I'd like both RDR and GTAV on PC....

I'm in gaming limbo, just that time of year. Too much actual stuff to do. Never quite finished my projects on Nix's server! I should ask for a copy of the world in case it corrupts or they restart on a new world...

I did play a couple hours of Rocksmith a few days ago.

[Jeff Kelly]

I've finished Child of light. Had to play it twice because when I was about 90% done the game crashed and ate my save file.

I've bought Mario Golf World Tour (don't judge) which is still fun but not as much as the last one.

Plus: Online tournaments against other players, good course selection, course modes that include items. handicaps. 3d Mode looks great.
Minus: Most modes will be played not as a Nintendo character but as your Mii, which sucks. Especially since the Mii builder is so limited that you can't design anything that even remotely resembles yourself.

If the recent games are any indication you'll probably have to play Smash Bros as your Mii to.

Started Transistor which is great so far. Their choice to use the same voice actors as with Bastion though was a bad one in my opinion. It constatntly takes me out of the gamer that the sword is voiced by the Bastion narrator.

[Khaldun]

Was going to do Landmark and then was like argh it's 64-bit only, I don't really want to reinstall Win 7 64-bit on my current gaming machine, phooey.

[HaemishM]

Was going to do Landmark and then was like argh it's 64-bit only, I don't really want to reinstall Win 7 64-bit on my current gaming machine, phooey.

This sentence is lacking in either context or sense, or both.

[Rendakor]

Do you not know what Landmark is? Or are you confused by his use of the word "do" instead of "play"? His comment makes perfect sense to me.

[HaemishM]

No, I'm not sure why he wouldn't be using Win7 64-bit. The only other options are terrible in comparison.

[Khaldun]

Because my machine right now is 32-bit because that's what it was when I got it, and I'm massaging it to keep it going for a little while longer. Since generally you can still run a lot of stuff even if non-optimally that way, I haven't *had* to undertake the hassle of a clean install just to make a change.

[schild]

Drox Operative. Holy shit this game.

[Hawkbit]

Drox Operative. Holy shit this game.

In a fun way?  I need something new to play this weekend.

[schild]

Yes, it's good. Very good.

[Paelos]

Yes, it's good. Very good.

Summer sale look then?

[schild]

It's not on Steam. You can only buy it from Soldak directly afaik.

[Draegan]

I'm bouncing between Hex, Archeage and a game or two of League of Legends a month.

[Teleku]

It's not on Steam. You can only buy it from Soldak directly afaik.

Errrr?
