So, what're you playing?

[Rendakor]

I thought DoA5 was pretty fun and very...bouncy.

[Signe]

Bouncy?  Is this another thingy like furry titties? 

[Xanthippe]

Bouncy?  Is this another thingy like furry titties? 

I sorta do and sorta don't want to know where you came across furry titties.

[koro]

Bouncy?  Is this another thingy like furry titties?

No, he means that the scantily-clad female characters - who comprise fully half of the roster - have extensive jiggle physics applied.

I haven't played DoA 5, but if it's anything like 3 or 4, it'll be an amusing, if not particularly deep, fighting game that's best suited for playing with friends who are at the same level of skill you are.

[Signe]

Okay.  Sounds good.  I love fighting games anyway.  And the furry titties were from another thread.  I THINK it was the nsfw thread.  Something to do with Annie and her furry monkey titties.  Or maybe they were fuzzy boobies.  I never seem to know what the pervy men around here are on about anymore.

Sleeping Dogs is an awesome game if you like the GTA/Saint's Row genre with much better melee.

Double good because it keeps your stats against your steam friends who have played it. Just a nice bonus to jump kick 3 guys and see I just beat out Nix's score or whatever. More games need to do that.

[Bzalthek]

I keep forgetting to use special moves with melee, I just wait a little, right click when an enemy turns red, left click a lot, and repeat. 

On another note I put Sleeping Dogs down a little when it crashed out on me and tried Alice: Madness Returns.  I never played the original but this one is... somewhat disturbing.  I'm impressed with the dialogue and most of the voice acting too.

[Furiously]

I just finished Walking Dead and stayed up way too late the last couple nights playing it. Was the best deal I have gotten with the steam sale.  This year has been pretty darn good for of gamers.

[Threash]

Just "played" thirty flights of loving.  All I can say is what the fucking fuck?

Controller, man.

[Bzalthek]

Nah, I only break out that thing if I absolutely have to.

[Yegolev]

Dishonored is great.

Never cared for Dead or Alive a great deal.

If you haven't played the previous game, Gravity Bone, it's free, from the developer's website: http://blendogames.com/

I mean, it doesn't explain anything about the plot or anything, it just shows the kind of style the author is going for with these games.

[Threash]

Yeah i did that after thirty flights of loving, gravity bone at least was an actual game with gamey things.  Thirty flights of loving is a (very) short story told through a game engine.  The only gamey part is trying to piece together what you just watched, which i admit is fairly interesting.

[jakonovski]

Finished off AC Revelations in preparation for AC3. I have the next week off, so I'm planning to play through both Sleepy Dogs and AC3. XCOM might throw a wrench into those plans, but we'll see.

[Draegan]

I"m pretty much in limbo and playing stuff that comes across my monitor.  Stopped playing GW2 mostly, bought MOP to check it out for shits and giggles.  Leveled a character in RIFT, stopped messing around with that.

I think I'm going through one of my cycles where I hit up some single player games.  Don't know where to start, and don't want to spend 50-60 on a single player game right now.

I've got a bunch on my plate, but I think if I were to go new, I'd go with Dishonored

[rattran]

Far Cry 3 is fun, but infested with consolitis. It's sad, but I think I'[m fighting the UI more than the pirates.

[Hawkbit]

They pushed a recent patch that added a bunch of options to remove all the tooltips, if that's what you're talking about.  I didn't notice too much of a problem with the UI.  Far Cry 3 is a great game if I turn my brain off anytime there's a story.  Taking enemy camps and trials, that's where the game is at.

[rk47]

' i'm not strong enough to save my friends :( '

5 minutes later...

'WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO YEAHHHHHH THIS IS AWESOME! *fires flamethrower*'

Protagonist gonna protagonizing.

[rattran]

Tooltips, lots of select/enter, multiple windows where a list would be better on pc, etc. Crafting is the most annoying, Select crafting, highlight a general category and hit enter, highlight sub-category and hit enter, highlight item and hit enter to see what you need to make it. Not to mention the actual inventory with 2 rows of huge ass icons, so anything other than the smallest rucksack you need to scroll to see your inventory has filled with shit from looting a handful of corpses. And really, limits on cash due to not having a sharkskin wallet etc? 

It's fun, but lots of little things are annoying me. Like the terrible, terrible cutscenes. And the Magic Negro.

[Khaldun]

I would play Far Cry 3 all day if I could hunt and kill the protagonist. Is he the worst ever of his kind? I'm struggling to think of anything that compares. The story is as bad bad bad as anything in living memory. I sometimes commit suicide just so I can enjoy my character dying. What makes it especially bad is the evident seriousness that the frat boys who wrote it invest in the character's personal history and 'growth'. During the hallucination where he's at a club in Bangkok I seriously contemplated an uninstall just to end the pain. I keep trying to drive the boat to the unseen islands to the south so I can keep taking outposts but I'm clearly going to have to progress the story to be allowed to do that, which is sheer agony.

[Tairnyn]

Considered grabbing Far Cry 3, but it sounds like I should reinstall Just Cause 2 and have more fun.

[rk47]

this is one of those games that went 2deep4u all the way and ended up making itself look stupid, but meh, the gameplay - if you're somewhat decent in FPS, will seem like a joke once you purchased your first Assault Rifle with Silencer Attachment.

Take the wallhack drug and pew pew Head shot. Duck cover, wait for more reds to appear.
I stopped taking that drug once it got too easy.

[Khaldun]

It's like it's giving me just enough sandbox heroin to keep me going. I enjoy cleaning out outposts and dead-guy bounty missions (no wallhack drug, that's too easy). If I could be a character who chose missions and some sense of personal path in an RPG style I might go with it. But instead I'm chained like in a prison gang to some fucking whiteboy chowderhead who deserves to have everything bad in the universe happen to him and all his dumbass friends.

[Morfiend]

I'm enjoying Far Cry 3 right now also (Thanks Steam sale). I like that the FPS part of it is not that hard, as my skills are very rusty. I have a few minor gripes, mostly with the UI. The main on being how I cant shrink it. The other being out the constant "you shot soandso click esc to learn about it" popup window. I am going to go looking for this popup turn off setting now.

[rattran]

I got tired of the story, and just started exploring and taking over places. Dead easy, except the occasional 1 chuff then a tiger is eating me. Usually when I'm 90% of the way to a new place.

[Khaldun]

I killed everything I could on the starter islands except for some of the minor quests (the kind where you help out some poor native) so I'm stuck doing story now. Which goes from bad to terrible to fucking terrible. It can't even decide which other game it's going to do a subpar ripoff of.

[Khaldun]

On this subject, btw, this? Is the fucking lamest thing I have ever seen any developer try to say to dig himself out from a deep hole of his own making. "Oh, see, my story and setting and characterization only seems dumb, because it's all meta, you know, I'm like meaning to meta-commentary on my own story's total dumbness". http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-12-18-far-cry-3s-writer-argues-critics-largely-missed-the-point-of-the-game

[Sky]

You should all be playing Sleeping Dogs, anyway.

[Tebonas]

I just bought Farcry 3 today and still love the shit out of it. Its not like Skyrim had a good story, but I had the same fun there exploring and doing quests.

[jakonovski]

You should all be playing Sleeping Dogs, anyway.

It's pronounced "sleepy dawgs". But you're right, everyone should play it. Even though I keep getting this weird texture streaming problem, and I just bought a new GPU.

[Viin]

Trying to play Anno 2070 but man is it frustrating not knowing how to finish this quest because there's no indication of what I need to do next. Also, it crashed and I lost about 10 mins of play since last autosave. 

[Bzalthek]

Sleeping Dogs was pretty damn awesome.  I finally finished it.  Now I've learned that Deus Ex: Human Revolution is hard as fuck.  At least at first.

[bhodi]

Don't forget to download the high res texture pack for sleepy dogs!

[Sky]

Yeah, I had to go back into steam and 'buy' it from the store page (the high res pack).
