So, what're you playing?

[Fabricated]

Finished:
-Torchlight 2 (beaten again on veteran with a Embermage, was fun until everything started instantly killing me in Act 4)
-Borderlands 2 (yeah think I'm done, maybe whenever all the DLC goes on sale for really cheap and none of my friends want to play it anymore)
-Dishonored (waiting for DLC sale)

Currently:
-The Secret World (pretty fun outside of some odd jankiness and poorly explained stuff)
-World of Warcraft (sort of. I log in, do 3-4 quests, then log out)

Literally still haven't installed despite owning for like 6 months:
-Max Payne 3

Far Cry 3. I've been around the island liberating all the bases and crafting all the special crafty stuff. Not sure if I can be bothered completing the main story line but just driving around is fun.

[Ingmar]

1/10 on my backlog chores; finished Penny Arcade 3 last night which is a cute little JRPG. 2 more missions to go on Eufloria and I will be 2/10 and picking the next title from my pile o' crap. Thinking I will give Shogun 2 another chance to win me over despite load times. (SWTOR too of course.)

[murdoc]

Trying really hard not to convince myself to get Farcry 3, but play some of my backlog of games. I don't think I could do the 10 games before I purchase another, but maybe... 3? Yeah 3 would be good.

[Ingmar]

Yeah I'm not sure I'll be able to make it. But it makes for an interesting challenge at least...

[CaptainNapkin]

I am on a quest to play 10 games from my backlog before I allow myself to buy anything new.

So would I count each individual episode of The Walking Dead as a game, giving me 4 if I finish the rest? And you are saying just play, not complete them, yes?

I may give this a shot.

[Ingmar]

I would count each episode in the manner that makes you happiest. 

For me I'd count them as separate games probably, the idea is more to get ahold of my reckless Steam buying than anything else.

Myself, I'm going to be trying to at least mostly complete things. For something like Eufloria that means playing through the whole campaign, for something like Shogun 2 that probably just means finishing one campaign game, for something more open ended it would just be giving it a fair try of at least a few hours.

Start painting minis! I've hardly bought anything on Steam since.

Although my bank account is begging me to go back to PC gaming at this point.

[Ingmar]

It would be a better use of my time to get a part-time job and spend the hours that I would be painting, to pay someone else to paint them for me using the money from the part-time job. 

Painting is pretty much a non-starter for me. I don't have the space, the hand steadiness, or the color vision for it. I made my peace with it long ago.

[Surlyboi]

Planetside 2
SWTOR
The Secret World

Waiting for the second half of Halo 4 Spartan Ops to kick off and then I'll hop back on that.

[Sky]

I made my peace with it long ago.

I know. I really enjoy it, especially as I'm slowly starting to improve...but then I look at the task of painting something like a couple teams for Blood Bowl or Dreadball  I only started painting for reals in August, but that's 7 minis in just over 5 months....

Anyway, not trying to derail, honest. That's been taking up a lot more of my time than gaming. A little Don't Starve, mostly. Loaded up TSW and I've pretty much forgotten a lot of stuff and the skills are a bit of info overload again. Keep getting the urge to play my assassin in TOR, he's nifty.

[rk47]

I'm just waiting for Steam sales while revisiting Bloodbowl and Just Cause 2 and Neverwinter Nights 1 (What an awful game this is lol)

[Cyrrex]

Ah fuck, you guys know what I just realized?  The world is completely going to end in like two days.  And I still haven't finished Skyrim, Arkham City, COD3, GTA4 and a bunch of other shit.  I mean, I haven't even finished god damn Final Fantasy 10.  Or 12!   I think the pile of awesome games I have NOT finished is actually now higher than the pile that I HAVE finished.

[rattran]

I'm so sick of hearing the world is going to end. It lost its funny a while ago.

Playing Swtor, mixed with some Planetside2 and a bit of TSW. Of them all, I'm having the most fun with swtor.

[Yegolev]

Seems like you should have clipped out the post that instigated it.

I forgot that I have been playing Mark of the Ninja from XBL and it is very terrific.

[Quinton]

Loved Dishonored.  First non-sandboxy/openworld game in ages I did an entire second playthrough of. 
Playing some Don't Starve and revisiting Kerbal Space Program.
Trying Crysis 2 since it was on sale for cheap, but not sure if it's my thing.
Keep meaning to get back to The Secret World...

[Signe]

I'm thinking of getting the newest Resident Evil.  I've played them all and I really didn't much like the Raccoon one.  Someone tell me the next one sucks and I shouldn't get it.  K?

[Rasix]

4 was the peak of the series.  Newest one (RE6) got a 4.5 review on Gamespy.  That's usually a score they reserve for scams and Wii carnival games.

[Signe]

Thanks.  I really can't afford another game.  :)

[Threash]

Is there no in game benefit to being stealthy and not killing people in dishonored? because the extra exp was all that kept me from slaughtering everyone in deus ex.

[Quinton]

There is an achievement for making it about halfway through the game with only 10 deaths at your hands and another for not killing anyone.

The ending of the game is influenced by your "chaos level" which is mostly related to how many people you kill (generally you want to kill fewer than ~20% of the people on a mission to keep chaos low, but taking the non-lethal option to eliminate your targets helps as well).  Some people think the high chaos ending is a "bad ending", but having seen both, I think the distinction is a bit more subtle than that.  If your chaos level is high, later missions will tend to have more guards, etc.  Also, high/low chaos impacts some NPC conversations you overhear, and various other background bits (like wanted posters, announcements, etc).

My first play through was a "best effort" non-lethal (I went non-lethal for all my targets, but got sloppy here and there with random guards, etc) and I did a second run where I killed nobody.  Had fun with both.

[Rendakor]

Mostly Dungeon Village. Are there any good games on Android for a tablet besides the Kairosoft stuff?

Still need to finish P4G and FC3.

I played RE6 to completion and I can't recommend it unless you're one of those hardcore fans that buys games in a series despite the quality of it.  I won't spoil the plot, but you can probably guess what it is.

Had to play more Minecraft360 due to the patch.  Had bad times in the nether, lost an enchanted diamond pick.

Check out the Game Dev one from Kairosoft if you haven't.  Same type of game though.  I'd be interested in an answer to this too.

Is true level ghosting possible? To me, a non-lethal takedown isn't any better than a kill. Make believe guy fall down.

In Thief, my objective was always to not alert anyone ever. They might see a shadow or hear a funny noise, but my actual presence was never to be detected.

[Quinton]

Yup, there's both a "no kills" and a "nobody alerted" achievement and the mission stats summaries include checkboxes for accomplishing each of those.  I've ghosted a few levels but have not pulled off an entire playthrough that way.

Yea I'm grabbing that one next. Just got my tablet recently and looking for stuff to do with it. Most of the posts in the Mobile subforum have been iOS exclusives.

Just finished my FemRenegadeShep ME series playthrough.

Now, on to AC3.  Not sure what's on deck after that, hopefully the Steam sale will produce a gem or two there.

[Kail]

Done with exams, nothing to do for two weeks but wait.  In the meantime, I got sucked back in to League of Legends... goddamn this game KILLS my productivity.  It's one of those games where even when I'm not playing it, I'm thinking of playing it, or analyzing what I did wrong last time I was playing it, or something.

Grabbed Sonic Generations for the 3DS when I was looking for something cheap to play in transit, and it's surprisingly fun.  The PC version is waiting in my Steam backlog, but I think the handheld version is basically totally different.

Trying to get back in to The Secret World, now that it's free (more or less) but having trouble fitting it in.

[jakonovski]

Finished Far Cry 3, don't know if I liked the story or not. They dropped the ball on a non-story related thing though:

 

edit: I've decided, I don't like the story. This RPS interview says it all (spoilers!): http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/12/19/far-cry-3s-jeffrey-yohalem-on-racism-torture-and-satire/

[Paelos]

I don't know anything about that author in the interview, and it would take every fibre in my being not to punch him in the face for some of those answers.

[ghost]

I have an old skool RPG itch I need scratched and nothing's doing it for me.

Have you tried Eschalon?  If you haven't, it's at least inexpensive.

[Ironwood]

Yeah.

Holy shit, it's a goddamn Internet troll in game form. What a cunt.
