So, what're you playing?

[Samwise]

I actually bought this on Steam after reading your recommendation there, Quinton, so thanks for that.

[Sky]

I've been trying to think of a movie that delivered an emotional punch like this game did for me. 

I Am Legend?

[Yegolev]

[Samwise]

Also twitch.

[Teleku]

Based on this thread I went ahead and purchased Gone Home, since I'm fine with these sort of movie non-game games.  

It was good.  But it didn't really have as much of an emotional punch on me as it seems to have on some here.  Minor spoilers about the plot:


It's worth a play through, but I'm going to say most here will probably want to pick it up for a few bucks when it inevitably goes on sale for 80-90% off.

Edit:  On that note though, anybody have a good website that has all the spoilers?  I'm curious to see exactly what I missed, despite spending way to much time digging through everything.

He might be if he was talking about the dog.

[MrHat]

Been playing a bit of BF4 beta.

I like it, but I like that sort of game.

BIG heads up though - if you play it fullscreen the FPS fucking takes a shit into 12-20 FPS.

Play in windowed mode.  My FPS jumped to 70-80 FPS with good settings.

[jakonovski]

Having finished GTAV, I went back to Tomb Raider and was smacked in the face by a torrent of QTEs and super boring cutscenes. The game is such a waste!

[koro]

Alternating between FFXIV, Volgarr the Viking, and Sword of the Stars: The Pit.

Volgarr is really hard, but super satisfying though. The Pit I'm not 100% sold on yet; it's a really solid roguelike, but some stuff keeps nagging at me, and I'm not sure what it is.

When is that supposed to release?

[Viin]

Trying to play Assassin's Creed 3, but, man, I have little patience for walking from cut scene to cut scene.

[rk47]

Agarest is my first rpg after like half a decade.
This is pretty shallow from plot perspective but gameplay-wise...wow, JRPG did change a lot over the years.

[koro]

In a good or bad way?

[rk47]

My guess is positive.
It's challenging - has out of combat interaction like craftables, they even give u like 4-5 form of currency to spend on uniques , rare materials, recipes, or skills.
I'm at a loss at how to min-max. 10 hours into the game I just learned I can swap skill between characters.

Near the end of the month.  They're wiping all 'progress' in beta.  So that's fun.

[jakonovski]

I just realized Beyond Two Souls is coming out on Friday. So fuck everything else, David Cage ftw!

[Yegolev]

Working my way through GTAV, which is so far easily the second-best GTA game that I have played.

Also some Atelier Iris 3 and Borderlands 2.

Over the weekend I purchased SteamWorld Dig on 3DS.  It's mildly entertaining with nice atmosphere.

[jakonovski]

Oh right, I dumped TR and played Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen all night last night. I started a new game because of all the new goodies, and it's still pretty ogod.

[Quinton]

DDDA completely supercedes the original Dragon's Dogma, yes?  If I never played the original and want to give DD a look, I should just jump into DDDA?

Yes, the expansion contains the original game and there's no point in buying the original anymore. DDDA is also free on PS+ this month.

[Ruvaldt]

DDDA is also free on PS+ this month.

For Europe it is.  We're not getting that in the States.

[jakonovski]

Well that sucks. What are you getting instead?

[Yegolev]

Probably more Battlefield, or Assassin's Creed, sponsored by AXE body spray.  I was getting all excited, too.

[trias_e]

NBA 2k14 mostly the last few days, which has been....ok so far. I try to play as sim-style as possible, and aim for realism as much as possible, but of course that's never really attained.  It's still decent.  I wonder just how much they saved for the next-gen consoles, and then I get annoyed and stop thinking about it.

Oh yeah, I'll also be playing/streaming Knock-Knock once it gets dark tonight.  I'm in South Korea, so that will be morning or afternoon for most of you.  I haven't played it yet, so everything will be blind and from the beginning. If you want to check it out, go to twitch.tv/trias_e.  Oh yeah, I'm also a huge Ice-Pick Lodge's fanboy (whatever that really means), so I'm fucking excited to play it and might wax poetic about it at some point during the stream.  Especially because drinking wine will be involved.  I'll start at 8 am EST.

[schild]

I haven't played the release build yet, but I played an alpha version on stream and had no fucking clue what I was doing.

[trias_e]

It is Ice-Pick Lodge, so that sounds par for the course.  Hopefully unlike The Void there won't be fail-state restarts due to misunderstanding the game's rules.  Hopefully like The Void learning the game itself will be a rewarding experience.

[KallDrexx]

I tried to play Capsized yesterday.  I think I bought it in a steam bundle.  HowLongToBeat.com rated it as 3.5 hours to beat and I couldn't even make it that long.  The controls were terrible (enabling you to get yourself literally stuck pretty easily) but more importantly is it's a game where the developers have ZERO idea of art direction.  Everything in the game is brown and green, wheither it's enemies, background or ground/platforms.  It's impossible to quickly tell where an enemy is as he's flying around the screen.

I made it 36 minutes before saying screw it.

[Ruvaldt]

Well that sucks. What are you getting instead?

PS Plus is pretty good right now: Hotline Miami coming soon.  We just got Shadow of the Colossus, Kingdoms of Amalur, and ICO.  XCom, Saint's Row 3, and a few others worth playing are still hanging around as well, especially if you have a Vita.

[Jeff Kelly]

PS Plus seriously already more than justified the intial $50 I spent.

Over the last few months we had Saints Row 3, Uncharted 3, Demon Souls, what the poster above me mentioned, Spec Ops: The Line etc. I've actually just aactivated a bunch of stuff I already own just so that I won't have to insert a disc when I feel the urge to play it again.

[Yegolev]

They seem to only offer things that I already have, which is causing me to reconsider buying anything at all.

[rk47]

Agarest

[Paelos]

This is going to be an uncomfortable radicalthon, isn't it?

[Threash]

I like how the needle is pointing at "neutral".

[lamaros]

BG2. Weeks of Baldur's Gate and I'm not burnt out yet, which is surprising.

[Ginaz]

I've been playing some Mount and Blade:Warband again with a Game of Thrones mod installed.  It has all the major factions and the world map is a fairly accurate depiction of Westeros and the eastern continent.  Armor models seem to match those used in the show and you can interact with many of the main characters.
