What Video Games Are You Playing Right Now?

[nohman]

I've been playing a lot of Binding of Isaac: Rebirth recently, thanks to me picking it up again so I could have something to play in line at this years Dragon*Con. I remain awful at it.

 

Other than that, my gaming time has been split between MGSV and the newest Sexy Beach ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

[Pyonnu]

The only computer games I bother with are Team Fortress 2 and osu. Pfft, who needs story based games when you have point and click adventure?

Console-wise, I'm playing through a borrowed Pokemon X on a borrowed 3DS.

[nohman]

Vita, I presume?  How does it play?  Only ever played it on my PC.  Did you hear that there's some DLC coming out soon-ish?  Not exactly sure when it hits the Vita, but it comes out on October 30 for Steam users.

 

Rebirth plays fine on Vita. No slowdown or anything, as far as I've noticed.

The DLC you're talking about is called Afterbirth. Adds a new game mode, more room variations, new challenges, like 8 new bosses, a new character, and some other things. It comes out October 30th.

Dark souls 2, im also looking forward to play the bloodborne dlc.

I wish I had TBOI on the Vita, oh well

Playing Senran Kagura 2...and I finally finished the retread of the ending of the first game. To be honest this game is not off to a good start, first said retread is pretty unnecessary storywise since this is pretty much something returning players already know and it'll only leave new players confused about events from the first game it references...plus it retcons the Hebijo side of the first game's story . The next problem is the gameplay changes really make these first levels more difficult than they need to be. For starters, the lock on is completely useless. All it does is indicate where your targeted enemy is and you don't automatically move towards your target when attacking. This means you'll frequently lose chained attacks and your special moves can often miss. Second, remember how you could chain attacks by knocking your enemies in the air and pressing the right button at the right time? Well that's pretty much gone too as while there is a button to press to do that (it's now the R button), it rarely works.

I am currently playing:

"Project Diva F 2nd" and "Deception IV: Blood Ties" on my Vita.

"DjMax Portable" (all of them) on my PSP.

And nothing on my PS3 as of late. I bought Destiny for it, but haven't

started it 'cause of the constant multiplayer aspect.

Okay, played a bit more and thankfully we're starting the real story from Homura and co.'s perspective and storywise this is more like it, they're doing a good job introducing the pair battle system through the character interactions and the fights are back to being fun again. Also Homura and co. are referencing stuff from their storyline, so I can just pretend that prologue didn't happen

Would the prologue provide anything useful if I haven't played the first? I have played Shinovi Versus on Vita as well as Bon Appetite but not the original.

So my favorite anecdote from Dark Souls so far is how I ventured into this completely new zone, saw a pillage-able corpse and thought "That kind of looks like a trap..." which turned out to be true after I got the loot from the corpse, and I was promptly killed afterwards- which taught me that enemies in pursuit can also traverse the light.

I'm playing Mad Max and it's kind of a mess. Lots of crashes, endless loading screens, glitching through solid objects, getting stuck in said objects and losing 50% of my audio every 20-30 minutes. 

[kyrt]

I've put Metal Gear Solid V on hold to try and finish Witcher 3 sometime this year (before fallout 4).

[BookwormOtaku]

Would the prologue provide anything useful if I haven't played the first? I have played Shinovi Versus on Vita as well as Bon Appetite but not the original. 

The prologue is just an abridged version of the end of the Hanzo story with a couple minor changes so it won't really give you much more than what you've probably heard the characters reverence in Shinovi Versus. I recommend playing the original first though.

 

Liking how it's showing the start of the Crimson Squad, Homura just cracked

[InvictusCobra]

Bought Demon's Souls with some Bday monies. Enjoying it so far, and some of the missing features from later Souls games is tolerable. Hope I can finally finish DeS after all those years of saying I'd do it.

Just cleared the Arm of the Father (Savage) in ffxiv.  Holy fuck this fight, I think we spent about 80 hours on it?

Was this 80 hours played by people who rotated in and out? Holy SHIT

 

edit: regarding Dark Souls

I just rang the first Bell. Should I go down to Darkroot Garden or seek Lower Undead Burg(I have the key for it and I am reasonably certain I know where the door is)?

Playing Persona 4 Golden cause why not. I also managed to find my copy of Legend of Zelda OoT with Master Quest for the Gamecube so i might start playing that too.

80 hours split into 5-6 hour sessions every other day or so with 8 people in the group.  That fight is no fucking joke, at about 2.5 minutes into the fight (about a 12 minute fight, 12.5 minutes for the enrage) you're hit immediately with the first big DPS check that all of the top groups were having issues on for weeks.  The boss splits into two targets (also splits health 50/50 so you can actually "cleave" in a sense for extra damage), one of those targets heals for some stupid amount and if you don't bring both of the targets within 4% HP of each other in 25 seconds, you all die.

Okay, so I have some sort of Summer Sale reward from DOTA 2, which I don't plan to play anytime. (Steam Summer Sale Reward, Level 1)

 

Should I sell this?
