So, what're you playing?

[Velorath]

About to give The Wolf Among Us a whirl. Be interesting to see if the gameplay has evolved any since The Walking Dead.

[Rendakor]

I'm nearly done Rune Factory 4, which has been awesome so far. Unfortunately, it's going to stay "nearly done" for the foreseeable future since I just grabbed Pokemon X and Y. I'm playing Y because the legendary on the cover looks cooler, and it's a blast. The graphics have been overhauled for the 3DS and they look much better than B/W 1&2; the game doesn't look ancient anymore! It's much easier to play with friends now too; you can battle and trade via local multiplayer anywhere (instead of going to a Pokemon Center) by just tapping the touch screen. I think it works that way online too, but didn't have Wi-Fi where I was when I was playing it. They also do a good job of mixing new and old Pokemon in the wild, unlike B/W which limited you to entirely new Pokemon until you beat the Elite Four.

I've been playing Wargame: European Escalation in between LOL matches. I like it though it suffers from the same problem most RTS style games do with me - I tend to lose track of WTF is going on at times because so much is going on. It reminds me of World in Conflict, which is a good thing.

[Jeff Kelly]

The recent Wind Waker HD reviews got me to want to play a Zelda game again. I actually considered buying a WiiU but then I noticed that it's a sad affair on Nintendo's part that a port of a 11 year old game seems to be the only really attractive title for their new flagship console.

I then tried to use an emulator to run my GC copy of WW (GC itself stopped working but even if it did I couldn't connect it to my TV anyway) but quickly realized that the current Dolphin emulator in Version 4.0 still sucks as much as it did the last time I tried it. Apparently an Intel  Core i7 with a Radeon HD 4850 and 4 GB of memory is not sufficient enough to run any gamecube title in constant 30 fps. It would be great if Nintendo considered releasing old titles on non-nintendo platforms or at least to also put them on the 3DS where the amount of first and third party titles at least make the hardware tax more easily justifiable. Buying a WiiU just to replay Wind Waker seems frivolous to me but with a DS I could maybe justify the purchase due to the fact that I could also play Pokemon X/Y, Super Mario 3D land, the Ocarina of Time re-release or the upcoming Zelda title for the DS.

[PalmTrees]

Finished Shadowrun Returns. It was ok. Normal difficulty was too easy. The color palette is a bit bright and doesn't pull off urban decay very well.

[Yegolev]

Thinking of taking a break from Atelier Iris 3 but not sure what to sub for it.

GTAV in the evenings with the wife, when possible.

Also I'm trying to make progress in Demon's Souls.

[MisterNoisy]

Still pretty much GTAO only and having a fair bit of fun with it still - hopefully they'll patch replay for the co-op missions back in shortly (they've suggested as much).  Halo 4 was $10 on Amazon earlier this week, so I'll be playing that co-op with my brother some time soon.

[Khaldun]

I just really need some new gameplay ideas from a Pokemon game before I dive into one again. Doesn't really seem to me that this one has it.

[Yegolev]

but 3d

I won't see my copy until Christmas.  Meanwhile, Halo 3 is free on XBL and I started that download.

Also I think I've gotten back into the swing of Demon's Souls.  It's definitely harder to progress than Dark Souls.

[Khaldun]

Have finally gotten back into Dark Souls. Doing ok actually--am about to tackle the Capra Demon w/a knight character. Still don't really know what I should have as equipment (right now have the Drake Sword and some minimally improved Elite armor from the garden) and exactly what kind of build I should be working toward but ok, have gotten this far without a lot of walkthrough hand-holding. Bell Gargoyles were a bit tough but I got it. Can't decide if it's worth working my way down to the Wolf Ring in Darkroot.

Noticed Democracy 3 on Steam. I love the idea of a politics sim but I strongly suspect this one sucks.

[Yegolev]

Someone told me that it's possible to chuck firebombs over the wall into Capra's Closet.  Haven't tried it myself.

[Soulflame]

Pokemon X/Y has one thing going for it:  It is gloriously beautiful.  Whether it's the environments, the pokemon, the customization of your character, whatever.  It's all absolutely gorgeous.  (NPC movement is a bit jerky, but I can forgive them that one.)

The pokemon mechanics themselves are (so far) a near carbon copy of Gen V, so that part is a bit tiring.  Particularly since the changes in pokemon mechanics have been types of fights (rotating 3v3, straight up 3v3) which I never found appealing or interesting.

[Thrawn]

Used to play a TON of League of Legends, then got converted and played an almost equal amount of DotA 2.  Lately I've been giving LoL another try though purely because I know like 20 people real life who play it and only 1 who plays DotA 2.  However after playing my first game of 5v5 LoL this week in probably over a year I just don't know if I can do it.  League just feels clunky and overly simplistic now and after playing a bunch of ARAM recently the community is still worse than DotA 2 is. 

So mostly I've been playing a lot of board games and miniature games instead of PC stuff at all.

I've been playing X myself a lot lately. The things I'm reading as far as post game is very encouraging to people who want to min/max their team for wifi battles. EV training of course being easier, and IV breeding having a lot of shortcuts and tricks while maintaining the breeding depth some people enjoy.

I might be assed to get back into this; I had quit in generation 4 (Diamond and Pearl) because of how tedious building a proper team was.

and miniature games

You know you can paint them! 

I've hardly played any games. A bit of minecraft hexxit with a liberal dose of cheating because it's not really a single player mod. And /gamerule keepInventory true. Suck it, Bloodworth! 

[Druzil]

Lots of League, got a Penta on Corki (yay), kind of anxious for S4 and and also kind of sad that there is not much competitive LoL to watch for quite awhile.

So instead watching a play through of Ni No Kuni as I don't have a PS3, seems pretty interesting.  Loving the graphics and the combat seem fun.  Not a huge fan of the main character.

Trying to play DMC 3 but it may be one of the worst ports I've played.  Awful awful awful controller support, bad resolution options, screen tearing, bleh.  Seem like the actual game might be fun but it's hard to get past the controller issues.

Finished with Rogue Legacy & Papers Please, both were excellent.  Papers Please especially I was not expecting to enjoy as much as I did.

[Thrawn]

and miniature games

You know you can paint them! 

That's half the reason I bought Zombicide.  Figure if I paint all the zombies that by the time I get done I will at least have a good grasp of the basics and be on my way to actually knowing what I'm doing.

[Ginaz]

Looks like Sir, You Are Being Hunter and Gone Home are both on sale for $10, 50% off, on Steam.  Any opinions on either of them?  Both look pretty interesting

[Samwise]

My opinions on Gone Home are known.  That reminds me, now that it's on sale I'm going to buy about 10 copies so I can give them as Christmas presents.   

Sir You Are Being Hunted has its charms but I would call it "just okay".  I played it for a couple of hours when the early access dropped and decided it wasn't quite there yet.  Dunno if it's gotten better since then.

[schild]

$10 eh. Hmm

[Quinton]

I thought Gone Home was fantastic (and plenty worth it at $20), but it is relatively short (2-4 hours depending how much digging around you do), and sort of storytelling through interactive investigation of a place than traditionally game-y, which some people seem to be highly offended by for some reason.

[jakonovski]

I'm playing Beyond Two Souls. Waiting for naked Willem Dafoe.

[koro]

I grabbed a 3DSXL the other day and have been playing Etrian Odyssey 1's remake on it. It's pretty great so far, and I'm looking forward to Zelda next month.

[Rendakor]

Are you playing classic or story mode in the EO remake? I bought it but haven't played it yet.

[koro]

Story mode. I haven't played an EO game before, so I figured it was the way to start. I'm not very far in yet, only on the third floor of the labyrinth.

[Rendakor]

Ah; I'm very reluctant to try Story since creating my own party is one of the biggest draws of the series for me.

[Margalis]

The 3DS has a lot of meaty games, I have an increasing backlog. Almost done with EOIV (like 95%), 1/3rd of the way through Fire Emblem, haven't even played Kid Icarus even though I've owned it for a year. Also want to play SMTIV and upcoming Zelda, maybe Pokemon (never played a Pokemon game), Ace Attorney...

[Jeff Kelly]

I'm currently on the edge of buying a 3DS but could keep me from buying one so for. I'd rather play those titles on a big screen but the last push of great 1st party titles nearly pushed me over the edge.

Right now I'm playing Ocarina of Time on a Nintendo 64 emulator. The game itself holds up pretty well, although the graphics really do not. I get why people regard it as one of the best Zelda games in the franchise. There are lots and lots of things to do and not that much of it feels like it is filler. I loved wind waker a lot but the sailing part was clearly dsigned to make the game seem longer than it was, I don't get that feeling from OOT.

My absolute major 'tear my hair out' gripe with OOT though is the fact that text display is awfully slow and that there is no way to skip or speed up the text at all.

I'll probably cave and order the limited edition 'Zeda, a Link between worlds' 3DS due out in November. Fire Emblem, Super Mario 3D Land, Ocarina of Time 3D and the new Zelda alone justify the purchase

[Yegolev]

I believe the sailing was a load screen.

I've been playing Demon's Souls.  Found out Reapers are easy to kill (with a bow), give a ton of souls, and drop darkmoonstone.  I am planning on a weapon upgrade for my "wizard" very soon.

[Sky]

After a long drought with only a smattering of minecraft, it's Rocksmith time.

The new game is a major improvement over the original (which was already pretty nice). Highly recommend.

[Jeff Kelly]

I really hope they do a keyboard or piano version of Rocksmith eventually

[lamaros]

How did I not notice Chaos Overlords made it to GOG?

So awesome.

[Signe]

Still playing ff14 but have only been crafting for the last few weeks.  Thinking about maybe GW2 again.  Maybe.  Just got Halo 3 free with the free with xbox gold thingy which I haven't played so there's that.  Anyone try that infinite crisis?  They're handing out some beta codes on mmorpg.com.  It's like LoL, right?  Only with Batman?

[Yegolev]

I thought Infinite was a fighting game?

[Signe]

Is it?  Oh, I don't know.  I suck at paying attention.  It would be easier to list the things I don't suck.  I like fighting games, though.
