So, what're you playing?

[Ingmar]

I actually don't remember exactly at this point. Probably. If the demo is still available you should be able to try before buying in any case.

[Phildo]

My biggest complaint was that the game felt kinda long and samey towards the end, but it was still fun for a playthrough.  Definitely worth the sale price if you like this sort of thing.

[Trippy]

I'm not 100% sure it will be around much longer after that whole government raid thing, but hey!

The what now?

LOL figures.  Just bought TSW last week.  Must be an Illuminati conspiracy.  Finally someone is bringing Funcom to justice for their shitty games.

On topic:  Back on Skyrim for some reason.  Oh that's right it's fucking amazing.

I was considering Amalur as with my steam card cash that's like $3.

You should pick it up.  It's one of those games I use a 360 controller to play.  I finished it about 4-5 months ago and have been meaning to play through again as a pure magic user.  It does get a little "samey" toward the end but nothing that ruined it for me.  One of the better games I've purchased in the last couple of years.

Been playing NWO.  The weird interface lag combined with the wonky dodge as an HR gets kinda old, but as a FTP game it's okay for now.  My HR is 33, so I've got some hours into it.  Until my Wildstar BETA INVITE COMES,  .  Grabbed the Hearthstone beta too.  Played for a few days then got frustrated.  Picked Hunter as my deck to focus on and it gets kinda old getting rolled by Priests, Paladins, and Rogues.  I'm not really into the "only creatures with taunt" can block thing either.  I'm only a semi-serious MtG player and I find the whole game sorta...meh.

Made it to the post-game in Disgaea D2, and I'm finding out that it's apparently a buggy mess. For a game that's more iterative than innovative (with almost every change from D3 and D4 being towards greater simplicity) there's no excuse for lockups every hour or so. A coworker and I had been competing on progression in it, but I'm not sure I have the heart anymore. Nothing sucks like grinding out a few hundred levels only to lose them because of a system freeze; this isn't a game series that requires constant saving (since death just plops you back at the healer NPC) so I hadn't been doing so very often.

[Rasix]

Started State of Decay.  Didn't feel like tier 1 bullshit tonight in GW2, and I knew it'd be an all-call.  It's really janky and buggy as all hell (like 20 minutes in, I randomly got swatted 200 ft in the air by a random zombie), but it's fairly interesting.  Controls like garbage, even with a controller.  Mouse/kb was awful.

Hearthstone too. Just a bit here and there. 

[Shannow]

Lots of Lords of Waterdeep on the Ipad. Game is hard, AI kicks my arse.

[Khaldun]

AI is good on Lords of Waterdeep, yeah. Nice translation of the board game.

[Phildo]

Late to the party, but I just realized I got a free copy of Assasin's Creed: Black Flag when I bought my new computer.  So, that's fun!

[jakonovski]

Kingdom Rush and Just Cause 2. Unlikely games, but there you go.

[Bann]

Dota 2 (ability draft is fun, base game is still fun for me too.) and Company of Heroes 2. Glad I got COH2 during steam sale, really enjoyed the campaign this weekend.

[luckton]

I find myself playing Rift again.  I know it has issues for some, but I find it more enjoyable than SWTOR, really.

[Quinton]

MTGO has eaten most of my gaming time in the last two weeks.  I'm looking forward to HEX hitting stable beta, but at the moment, even with its clunkiness, MTGO wins from a "it all basically works" standpoint.

Good news, the last Magic set and the current Magic set are pure shit. Sooooooo. It all "works."

[Rasix]

Somehow State of Decay uninstalled itself.

[Ingmar]

Bitrot. 

[Rendakor]

Working on postgame in Disgaea D2; all I have left is Prinny Land 2 and Baal.

Has anyone played the new DBZ game? A couple guys from work were excited for it before it released, but the last few have been shitty.

[Yegolev]

I've been playing the 360 variant of X-COM, the one with all the extras.  I sort of left the PC version to be alone in the corner after I managed to not launch satellites early plus being boned hard in the alien base.  Doing better this time, despite a massacre of most of my veterans while calling an air strike on a chrysalid hive.  I'm not really sure why the strike team couldn't have given me just a few more turns so I could extricate my team in an orderly fashion... then again the number of chrysalids was quite probably too much for my squad anyway.

Nearing the end of LEGO Marvel.  It's just not as good as LEGO City Undercover.  That team needs to take over all of the development.  All of it.

In Starbound, I'm trying to gather enough fuel to escape the awful shitball that I started on.  Large numbers of dangerous creatures is one thing, but the meteor showers are just too much.

You should've just wiped your universe and started over. That'll give you a new random starter planet location.

Probably so, but this was a slow revelation.  At least there is no lava.  I should have enough coal after today's adventure to try another place.

I'm now at the point in FF V that you reach in every Final Fantasy. The point where you realize that you are hopelessly under- leveled for the final dungeon and end boss fight after somehow managing to beat all of the encounters before just fine. Since I probably won't grind for hours just to beat the final boss I'm now done I think.

Bought the PS 4 version of tomb raider on Saturday and this will probably be my next game.

[Ironwood]

Too much Hearthstone.  Arena is utter fucking cheating baws.

[Paelos]

Too much Hearthstone.  Arena is utter fucking cheating baws.

Same, I like it a lot.

[Ironwood]

I don't.  About to win and Leeeroy Jenkins got drawn when he had nowt on the board and hand empty of cards.

Then the guy who had 4 or five alarm bots which pulled out Ironwood Protectors out of his hand and onto the board.

Seriously, it's like I get random cards (of which I made a nice deck) but everyone else just gets to pick from everything.  It's utterly humiliating.  Thus far I've won 1 game out of 7 played.  Eeek.

[Paelos]

Are you using the list posted earlier on how to pick a deck?

Honestly, I think arena is about making sure you don't put bad cards in your hand early, and you have draw card abilities.

[Ironwood]

The second time around my deck wasn't the problem.  It played fine, for what it was.  Very good cards, most of them in the excellent category, most of them flowing together correctly, good mana curve.

Then people just steam in with some next level bullshit that must have been given to them by the Card Gods.  In both my drafts, nothing above rare.  In almost all my games, I'm facing epic and legendary shit.  It's humiliating.

...

And fun.  And I now have 5 other chaps on the Euro beta with me.  I still think it'll be huge for a while.

[Paelos]

I got the legendary Black Knight in my first draft. It happens.

That being said, I often think it's how the class plays with the cards you get, not so much the legendaries or epics.

[Ironwood]

Try repeating that phrase 10 times while Ragnoros the Fire Lord Pushes Your Shit In.

[Paelos]

Well if you're a mage you save a polymorph for that occasion.

[Ironwood]

Aye, if you  A - Draw one in the fucking draft B - have one while he's pushing you shit in and C - haven't used them on the 3 fucking Ironwood trees that came out due to multiple alarm o bots.

Stop trying to make me feel better you bastard.

[Paelos]

But it's so fun!

There's also nothing like watching somebody pull out a legendary on my warrior, only to have me cleave/whirlwind and then execute it.  

[Maledict]

Played, and finished, M&M 10.

Really surprised by how good it was and how improved from the early access. Felt very much like a classic old school western RPG, and hugely enjoyable to finish.

[Flood]

[Rasix]

Choose shaman.  Get no clear, no hex.  LOSE HARD.  

Playing Hearthstone, GW2, and State of Decay.  

State of Decay, I think I'm almost done with.  It's neat and it's a good concept, but it's really buggy and some of the features are less than gracefully executed (combat, driving, quest generation, ETC).  It's also kind of a pain in the ass to play and there's no seeming end in sight. Everyone's always asking you to do something.
