What games is everyone currently playing?


Recommended Posts

I just recently got a PS3 so I got PS+ and have been exploiting the free games. Ibb & Obb is pretty awesome. Just started Metro: Last Light, which is really good so far. I've got The Last of Us and Borderlands two waiting for me. I like to play a few games at once to keep from getting to disinterested.

Assassin's Creed: The hardest movie I ever played. I really like the story of all of them (save 3) but felt the gameplay was severely lacking. On the one hand is really cool looking combat, but really simple and mundane to actually control. On the other hand you have super tedious activities, including the combat, collecting feathers and treasure chests and climbing the towers and so on. AC2 added a cool element with the economy and ability to build up the city though. Graphically stunning, interesting story, not enough immersion for me. I haven't played 4 though, or any of the games between 2 and 3.

 

This week I started playing Skyrim again, restarted as a Dark Elf, picked out some different mods to try out and changed up my play style and order of quests a little bit. I also haven't invested too much time in any of the DLCs, so I'll get into those a bit and see what I can come up with.

 

Anyone else kind of irritated with the way Bethesda did the vampire feeding/powers thing? My mindset has always been that feeding would make a vampire more powerful, not weaker. I always used a mod in Oblivion that made this adjustment. I haven't been a vamp in Skyrim yet so I haven't bothered looking for such a mod, but I assume it exists.

 

 

Probably still my favorite series...

 

Potentially more due to the sentimental factor and the days I spent playing the first two in college...skipping some classes, running back from class to keep playing...

 

That and Fable II...

 

LOVED Fable, the sequels never quite did it for me. I definitely exploited the hell out of the hero saves. I'd have 20 silver keys by the Hobbe Killing contest to unlock the hammer with the exp augmentation behind the Hero's Guild. :P

Civilization 5 - Brave New World.  I am not a huge gamer, but I have been playing Civ since the original DOS version.  Best. Game. Ever.

Just finished Mass Effect 3 last night. It was my FemShep alt infiltrator, who I brought through from ME1. On insanity the whole time.

I knew what was coming, and still had the feels at the end. Perfect ending for both my Sheps. (Yea, I was one of those guys who didn't need the extend cut the first time around - I can extrapolate endings.)

I deleted every game from my hard drive, sold my xbox, and left with a couple simple games on my phone.  Gotta be more productive and the games are getting in the way... gotta level up my real life for awhile!

This = me last summer. It ended up being easier that I would have thought.

Bravely Default, which I was skeptical about but I'm now enjoying immensely. 

 

Super Mario 3D World, going through unlocked challenge levels - and levels I've completed - and picking up any green stars that I missed.

 

Clash of Clans, I'm hate-playing this to prove to myself I can play a free-to-play title without pulling out my credit card.

Recently played several hours of Batman Arkham Asylum. Picked up all 3 games over the past several steam sales since I had never played any of them. Working through the first one now.

 

Also, picked up the new Tomb Raider. I was a huge fan of the original way back when, along with the 2nd and kind of the 3rd, but it fell off big after that. I've played several hours so far and this one is definitively worth it and worthy to be called a proper reboot.

 

Lastly, playing a bit of DmC. It's showing itself to be a nice reboot so far, but not as drastic a change from the ones before since I just don't feel the others are "that" old. Mechanics of the game haven't changed as much as the original Tomb Raider to the new one as an example.

Borderlands 2, Diablo III, and we just got into the Titanfall Beta.  Looks fun.  I need to finish up Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect.
