What's Everyone Playing?

[Edward Collett]

I've been playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf like crazy lately, and I'm really excited for the new pokemon games.

Besides that I've been re-running the Bioshock series and I'm gonna start playing Borderlands again with all the DLC I didn't have before.

[Shawry]

MMORPG nerd here.

 

Currently playing Rift, as it became free-to-play last month.

Bit of Planetside2 if feel the urge to shoot people with a machine gun.

[FalseAesop]

Playing Skyrim over again, unlike my first blind honest playthrough back when it came out, I'm gleefully reading guides, using wikis, and exploiting the hell out of it for shits and grins. Thinks like having Sneak maxed out before I even left the tutorial dungeon.

[emh802]

My friend took our playstation, but it was Assassins Creed Brotherhood.

 

Has anyone tried out the new Marvel Heroes game? it's a bit slow on my computer but was wondering what people thought of it.

[superjenni]

I've been playing Marvel Heroes since beta.  I don't know why it's so addictive for me.

 

Plants vs Zombies 2 is sucking all my productivity for the day.

[stevembk]

I'm also playing Ni no Kuni.

 

How far into the game are you? It does pick up a little after a few hours. I'm up to about 32 hours now (almost done, so if you don't bother with all sidequests/errands (I did quite a few, but definitely not all) it's not that long of a game, actually) and while I've really enjoyed it I'm now mostly playing to just finish the story. I think what I love most are the visuals ^^; It is just very pretty indeed. Story-wise there are a lot of better RPGs out there. I do think they managed to make it feel Ghibli-movie like successfully, which is definitely an achievement

 

Im about to leave the first map area to go into the desert.

 

Just upgraded my PS3's 64Gig HD to a shiny used 500Gig drive! Took several hours to backup and restore. Also had to redownload all my Borderlands 2 DLC from the PSN store.

[superjenni]

I bought Ni No Kuni the other day!  I've been wanting to buy it since it came out and the price finally dropped to $29.99 at Target.  Amazon has been all over the place.  One day it's $30 and the next day it's $65 and then it's $35.  Very weird.

I got mine from Best Buy for $20 but $30 is still better than $59.99!

[bjjgrrl]

Tales of Graces, with Tales of Xillia waiting. And 2nd playthrough of Tales of the Abyss for 100% completion. With Skyrim, Disgaea 4, Rainbow Moon, and Fire Emblem: Awakening in various stages of play.

Even better.  I hardly ever go there, but I am addicted to walking around Target at least once a week.

[Peevish]

I just got back from almost a year working abroad with zero time for gaming, to find my ps3 waiting for me, complete with the yellow light of 'haha in your face sucka'

 

So not only am I completely out of touch with what's good, I am now down a console. Plus it looks like I just missed the Steam summer sale. Bah!

[ravnos]

I actually cut video game time to make room for working out more often (I know... seriously wtf is wrong with me). However, I still make time for Minecraft, Civ 5 and some Call of Duty Black Ops 1 or 2 Zombies (I don't play Multiplayer, just zombies). I also just downloaded Plants Vs. Zombies 2... so that might suck up some time. I did recently get a WiiU but I haven't decided what games to get for it.... Probably Mario Wii U and the new 3D World when it comes out, but any other suggestions? I'd prefer 2-player games.

 

I also recently got back into Fallout: New Vegas, which I left sitting at about 50% of the way through the game (I've already beaten it once), but I rarely find time to play it.

[Donar]

Starcraft HotS....mainly 1v1 ladder.

I just bought the Humble Bundle (www.humblebundle.com) and picked up Mirrors Edge, BF3, Dead Space 1, Dead Space 3, and the new-ish Medal of Honor game and a few others for $5.00 so currently I am blasting my way through BF3.

Also heavily addicted to StarMade. It is kind of like Minecraft, but you build and fly spaceships. Super cool, it is free during Alpha, and gets updated once every few days. Super fun.

Also, been playing through Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. Really awesome Zombie-Survival rougelike game that is currently in development. A kickstarter recently purchased a fulltime developer for the next few weeks. Graphical tileset support is due to come out any day now. Everyone should really play this game at least once. You can do almost anything. Play an archer type. Play a melee specialist (current character just found a katana) build bases and cars and get genetic mutations or implant bionic implantations into your body for more power. The list is endless Also, the game is free!

Okay, StarMade and Cataclysm both sound right up my alley, I need to check those out.

 

I also just grabbed the humble bundle!

Until I moved I was pretty caught up in League of Legends. Shoddy internet now makes this unbearable. So I I've been enjoying X-Com: Enemy Unkown a lot. I used to play the original a lot as a kid. Next on the list is Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition and if I get too frustrated I'll pop in Final Fantasy 7. FF8 was the first FF I played and loved it. I never played 7 mostly because I'm too scared it has been overhyped for me, but we will see.

[Raev]

I used to enjoy League of Legends.

 

I tried Neverwinter but the end game was boring at best and too easy to reach.

 

Everquest: Next is on my radar.

 

I miss Call of Duty.  Xbox died a  year ago and I don't game enough to feel good buying another one.

[Spinflip]

Since both my xbox and ps3 have broken on me (Though the PS3 is partially my fault, and is something I think I can fix,) I'm playing the 'Work as many hours as possible until you can buy a gaming PC' game.

 

Which leads me to my next question: Does NF have any kind of gaming presence? Like, a dedicated server on any games, or even a clan?

I was also wondering this. I know NF has a minecraft server which i think is still operational, but i don't really play much Minecraft now - my kids monopolize it to the point where it loses the appeal to play myself. But i wonder if there's any other game/area in which NF has a presence

[Pretzle]

We could always start a guild/group somewhere... Any ideas? I'm thinking I'll be back to Path of Exile whenever I get a chance to download all the patches...

[McGurgel]

for a week now i am strongly addicted to EVE Online again. 

 

 

Now I am moving into 0.0 Providence, which will tell you absoloutely nothing, if you never played eve before. ^^

I have been informed that I NEED to play Gone Home. But my laptop is just not up to par for gaming. So I did what any jerk does and read the plot on Wikipedia.

[Peevish]

Haha priceless! Just think of all the money your crappy laptop is saving you. Im actually considering taking the wheels off my car to save money on gas now.

Ha!  I actually just had someone recommend that one to me the other day.  I may have responded with "Yes, that sounds like quality entertainment, but I think I'll be buying Saint's Row 4 and beating people to death with a tentacle bat instead" (I'll actually probably give Gone Home a try though, because I am really fond of traditional adventure games).

[Peevish]

From what I've seen from Gone Home I will definitely give it a try, seeing as how long I spent quite happily rooting through every cupboard and drawer of my house when i played Shenmue back in the glorious Dreamcast days.
