So, what're you playing?

[Ragnoros]

I'm playing Crashlands.

It looks amazing.

[Hawkbit]

I played maybe three hours of Crashlands on iOS yesterday. No the beginning it's fun and I've already got the purchase price out of it. Not sure how it will hold up long-term, but it's good.

[Mandella]

Lots of darkest dungeon.

Yeah. Lots and lots of Darkest Dungeon.

They seem to have used their year in Early Access to absolutely nail that "just one more mission before bed" sweet spot.

[Hoax]

Darkest Dungeon (so good)
Warframe (add me, Hoax415)
Maybe BnS one day when the queues clear up

I hope I'll finish Massive Chalice (nowhere near as good as I hoped), Always Sometimes Monsters (kinda fun, kinda slow and uninteresting) or Transistor (beautiful, combat is obnoxious though) before I give up and uninstall them.

[Sky]

Thanks for the heads-up on Crashlands. I'm not a fan of the cutesy artwork, so I didn't even consider it. But it's the kind of nice little mobile game I've been wanting on my phone.

And luckily my father has no idea what to do with Google Play gift cards, so I get one in the mail randomly because someone gifted one to him.

[Signe]

I hadn't played Borderlands Pre-Sequel plus Season Pass so I picked it up a little while ago for $20.  Now, a couple of hours later, it's back to $69.  I praise Schild for saving me such big bucks on a game I've wanted but couldn't afford.  A pop-up told me he was playing it and made me look.   

[Rendakor]

Hex; the PVE is more fun than I expected, although I imagine the shine will wear off soon.

Picked up Final Fantasy Explorers for 3DS, which is basically Monster Hunter: FF Edition only without all the dickpunching. Inventory management in particular is way easier here.

[Yegolev]

Obtained 100% in LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean and only slightly pissed off the wife.

Still can't remember how to spell Caribbean.

[Jeff Kelly]

Staying true to the theme of me being late to the party I'm now playing Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth. I like it a lot but that game is also an example of why procedurally generated != randomly generated and why pure randomness is not what you want in those games.

With more than 300 items of varying quality and everything from bosses to the amount of consumables being determined randomly a lot of runs die quickly due to the RNG not being on your side with a few utterly ridiculous overpowered runs thrown into the mix. In my experience a run either peters out quickly with the RNG hindering your progression enough so that the "rouge-likeishness" eventually gets you or you have a run that quickly spirals out of control as item synergies raise your powerlevel to ridiculous heights and you steamroll everything.

[Jeff Kelly]

Binding of Isaac also has entirely too many performance problems for an 8/16 nbit style dual stick rogue-like that has been in active development since 2008. I regulalrly experience lag and slowdowns during gameplay and I'm playing this game on an 3 GHz Core i7 with 16 GB of RAM and an NVIdia GT650m.

[Rasix]

About 51 hours into Witcher 3.  I'm done with the main part in Skellige. There's an embarrassing amount of side quests and hunts that I've yet to complete.  Lots of side content is already greyed out.

Also, still grinding IP for my son in LoL. Playing against bots, because at most I want to play one game for the daily bonus.

You are no where near done btw.  That was the point where i was hoping I was about done, and then it went on for like another 20+ hours.

Hah! I think I was over 30 hours when I had to take a break to focus on classwork and I'm still doing, em, whatever the Baron's area is called... I did have to backtrack a little to get in a game of cards with the Baron before the end of his story, maybe an hour...

I tend to just wander around a lot...

[Rasix]

I still don't like gwent and am skipping it almost entirely.  I may at some point go back and do it, but I juts don't find it interesting enough to spent time that I'd rather quest or clear out the map.

I may need to take a small break.  50 hours into a game is where it starts to wear on me, no matter how awesome it is.

Did some Diablo last night.  Soulflame took a whole 4 rifts to get me to 70 (well 8, he did it twice).  Inexcusable.

[lesion]

I was waiting for a Steam sale on Helldivers, and now I am Helldiving. And it is good.

[Threash]

Xcom 2 so hard right now.  The world needs me.  Even though i royally fucked things up the first time around apparently.

[Samprimary]

my first run of xcom came to a grinding fail state in the waterloo moment of Operation Doom Stank.

[Wexingtn]

Guns of Icarus Online. I can see the novelty wearing off since it seems like such a simple game, but for now I'm really enjoying it.

[MahrinSkel]

Just started playing Sanctum 2 (yeah, I know, it's almost 3 years old). It's a fun take on the "FPS/Tower Defense" hybrid concept, you really do need to participate in the battles even though the towers generally do most of the work. All your usual TD stuff (lanes, waves, mazing, upgrades) with some nice FPS stuff like perks and weapon upgrades. I tend to prefer getting explosive weaponry and getting that AOE damage from an elevated position, a lot of other people seem to like getting the perks for landing damage and bunny-hopping all over the place.

I just reached the point where others can join in my matches, and they seem to swarm in quickly. Need to figure out the reward structure for that, right now I'm just farting around rather than analyzing.

I got a PS4 for my birthday and have been playing Destiny and Disney Infinity with my boys.

[Nebu]

Took a break from PvP games to play some American Truck Simulator.  It's actually nice in a relaxing sort of way.  I get little goals to accomplish.  I can build a garage with a workforce to manage.  I get to drive through the countryside and look at scenery.  Not a bad little game for $20.

[ghost]

I've been playing Lego Dimensions and Disney Infinity 3.0 because the kids got them for Christmas. 

I like Lego Dimensions, but the actual building of stuff in real life turns out to be a bit of a hindrance.  The novelty of it wears off quickly. 

Infinity 3.0 is decent fun.  Probably won't do much with it though, tbh, due to time constraints.

Also have Star Wars Battlefront-  not a bad game for some quick action.  Too expensive for what it is, once you get a season pass an all that bullshit.

[Sky]

A week or so ago I hit a boss fight in Crashlands, should've cleaned up easy (I'm playing on easy, that's how I do) and got kerplwned. And remembered I hate games with boss fights. Haven't gamed since 

[apocrypha]

A new Minecraft kitchen sink modpack for 1.8.9 called The Pioneers. I don;t know what any of the mods do and I have no idea what I'm doing. I'll keep digging holes until something becomes clear!

Also some Diablo 3 still, kind of working on getting the basic tier set dungeons wings.

[Kail]

Plugging away in Mechwarrior Online.  Grind is pretty bullshit but the game is fun.  I find my win rate is really streaky for some reason, I'll win like six games in a row and then get nothing but losses for the rest of the day.  Finally made it to tier 4, which means I'm not complete rubbish anymore (only 80% rubbish).

Having fun playing Subnautica, the underwater survival game from the dev studio that put out Natural Selection.  I really like the setting, it's very Star Trek clean, as opposed to a lot of other survival games which are so focused on the gritty realism of wilderness survival that you can LIVE THE EXPERIENCE of pooping in a hole in the woods or whatever.  The ocean is a great setting, I think, in that you get a lot of really beautiful moments and a lot of really creepy moments pretty naturally.  It's in early access, and a bit short on content, though.

Also been playing the PC release of Disgaea a little bit.  I never picked up the console version, so this is my first experience with it, but it seems OK so far.  A lot of complaints about performance problems from other people, but it seems to work fine for me.

[Gimfain]

Been busy playing white marsh, the pillars of eternity dlc. Its annoying that they release a dlc that fits into act 2 of a 3 act game, ended up leveling up a new group specifically to play the dlc. They made a few improvements, qol changes and some tuning but pathing is still borked. Wasn't so bad when my barbarian were using reach weapon but found a great estoc that I have been using now and sometimes it just gets too crowded and he ends up circling into lots of mobs which is really bad for his health.

I like that they allow you to auto-tune white marsh content if you are too high level keeping the content hard but since I lack act 3 and od nua gear it becomes a lot harder than just being the correct level. If I used default level on them it would be too easy.

[Yegolev]

The new Uncharted collection on PS4.  Going to get all that treasure this time.

Firewatch.  I've only watched two fires.

Disgaea 5.

Mostly house repairs, though.

[Rasix]

Thanks to my son I'm now playing 3 different MOBAs.  He watched some of the Shanghai Major and now wants to play DOTA2.  I keep trying to convince him that a 6 year old won't handle the uptick in complexity well compared to LoL or HOTS.  And he wants to play Beastmaster for some reason. 

Diablo 3. Hating RNG and Kadala in particular. I probably need to spend some time deleting all of this crap that I'm never going to cube.

Keep meaning to finish up Witcher 3, but I don't feel like I can fit another game in.  I really should have just powered through the end before getting back to D3.

And back pain.  The least fun of my leisure activities.

[Viin]

.. I keep trying to convince him that a 6 year old  ..

Shit, my daughter turns 6 in 1.5 months and she hasn't even played Minecraft yet. Guess I better get on it!

[schild]

Fucking Devil Daggers or "How you know you've gotten older" simulator.

[Strazos]

Still getting hosed on Commander Ironman in XCOM 2. Some of it MAY be that I'm not always conservative enough in my forward movement; what seem like minor movements to me end up revealing extra pods at inopportune times.

Also, dat RNG.   

[Khaldun]

Yeah, Commander Ironman is also breaking me on the wheel. I keep going back and trying again, but sooner or later there's two disastrous missions in a row, usually in a week where I have just got to take out a facility and claw back an Avatar box. At which point you're basically toast.

[Threash]

I still can't play ironman because of the end of mission crashes, sigh.

[Druzil]

Lots of Street Fighter V.  Slowly working through the bronze tier and I feel like actually I'm learning stuff other than I've lost all of my 1990's arcade skills.  Luckily a bunch of the newer arcade sticks are out of stock everywhere or I probably would have already dropped $200 on one. 

About an hour of Devil Daggers but I hit kind of a "wall" at around ~70 seconds.  The game is really hard to quit once you get going though.

Started up Stardew Valley which seems to basically just be Harvest Moon, not that that's a bad thing.  I haven't played enough yet but it seems promising so far.

[Rendakor]

How does Stardew Valley control: click to move or WASD?
