What Video Games Are You Playing Right Now?

[Mevvrynne]

Waiting very very patiently for Final Fantasy XIV:  Heavensward early access.  Only about 10.5 more hours.

I hope your anus is ready I bet you'll enjoy Dead Ahead and Casualties on hard. They were some of the most frustrating game levels I've played in recent memory.

Playing some Ocarina of Time at a friend's house again. I'm gonna power through!

Dead Ahead was so hard... Took me over 1 hour total to beat it.

[a231]

I finished dead ahead on hard in 15 minutes. On normal it took 1 hour........

 

And casualties is difficult only on normal mode, on hardmode since you have the flamethrower is very easy

 

Also, what do you think of this?

Been playing more of Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker and about to fight the second boss. The plot's had some interesting developments and the character interactions have been great still.

Also Io is no Solid Snake

 

Cleared Voss in my Old Republic Sith Warrior playthrough.

I've been forewarned about someone in the party betraying me. Not sure if this is determined by affection rating but if so I'm glad Vette and Jaesa are at near max affection with me

Suikoden 2 is coming along well on the Vita. It feels a bit weird, though, because even though I'm some 8 hours into the game, I still don't have a fort full of quirky people that I'm recruiting; I'm just kind of wandering around, running away from the big army led by the madman. Hopefully it all comes together soon - the strategic battles up to this point have been a little meh because of the lack of huge numbers of characters.

I started playing Wild Arms 3 as part of my destressing from this week and I`ve really taken a liking to it. It has a really interesting system, and I love how they went pretty much full-out cowboy for it whereas the previous 2 games were little more like ordinary RPG settings with very small touches of wild west. The music is really good too, but then again Wild Arms has always had a really good OST for all the games. 

[Virtuesque]

Recently finished Axiom Verge on normal and hard. It's really a must play for anyone enjoying a Metroid-like game, not only for the game play but also for the environment and musics. As opposed to many recent Metroidvania games you really have 0 indication on where to go and will probably be lost for a while on the first playthrough, but I find it part of the fun. The powerups are imaginative and not just copy/pasted from the Metroid games, too.

 

Now I just beat stuff up in Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds. It soothes my nerves when I need it. ^^

 

Glad to see some Hotline Miami fans out there too, by the way.  

[Mevvrynne]

still playing Hand of Fate as I wait for Heavensward.

This pretty much sums up the game for me in every way:

[Funyarinpa]

Bought Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.

 

GoG decided to gift me SimCity 2000.

Edit:

 

Metroid Prime is beautiful, likely one of the best games I have played all year.

 

Alien: Isolation is very engaging, I didn't want to stop playing despite being scared shitless.

After about 20 hours of nonstop grinding of FATE's, dungeons and general MMO leveling bull, I got my dark knight to 50 last night in Final Fantasy XIV:  Heavensward.

[Jade]

Just finished playing Growlanser Wayfarer of Time. A good game but there's a lack of 'amazing' moment that is worth mentioning.

Will start playing FF Tactics War of the Lions, here's hoping it will be good.

RIP Metroid saga

[Kurisu-Chan]

Still playing through Dragon Age Origins, i just miss the Dwarfs and the Humans' help and then, i might be able to face the blight.

 

Also replaying fallout 3, a good game, but damn, there are soo few quests, it feels like an empty game.

 

And i started playing a delicious game : Half minute hero : the second coming, i finished the first "game", Yusha is such a great...hero... ba dum tss. 

[Decay]

Soul collection was such a grindy, terrible aspect of those games in my opinion. I never want to see something like that return to Castlevania. 

[EldritchCherub]

Playing Metro 2033 Redux. Nearing the end of the game after about ten hours or so. Really enjoying the dark and gritty tone of the game, especially the archives section of the game where those Librarians scared the crap out of me.

 

I wish the Stalker series had these kinds of graphics, it would make the mutants that much more terrifying.

[Funyarinpa]

Playing Civ V aith you guys was amazing

[sub-zer0]

Playing hand of fate, this mechanism is pretty sick, its like a card game but with action packed RPG elements

Actually saw a couple of people on Youtube playing this. Seems pretty nice, but I heard the difficulty quickly escalates out of control after mid game, resulting in one crazy heck of a difficulty spike.

 

On topic: DotA 2.

[Vokoca]

Still coming back to Bloodborne, there's something about the Souls games that lures me back in like nothing else. Just one ending trophy away from the Platinum, too, haha. Was just doing co-op yesterday for fun, and ran into the same guy in two separate areas, one after another. No idea how that happened, but it was hilarious.

[Lexyvil]

Other than Visual Novels, I'm currently playing Monster Hunter IV.

 

It's always fun to pop that game out every now and then when in a waiting situation with friends.

[Turnip Sensei]

Just finished Transistor. I don't remember why I waited for so long to play this game, even though I heard so much praise from my friends and I liked Bastion.

 

Transistor was just as good as Bastion and I even liked the combat better. Any game that lets me stack all the debuffs and buffs for an extreme burst damage build is awesome. It was fun to play around with the different ability modules which can act as skills or upgrades, and the strategic mode allowed for exact and satisfying execution. 

 

The story was very subtle on it's presentation, very little was forced on your face, but you could find so much background information by digging around. I really like the tranquil atmosphere this kind of story telling creates. That and the awesome soundtrack, beautiful backgrounds and character art made it really enjoyable experience. 

 

 

And there was one small detail that made my day. There was one point where you could make robots dance awkwardly with your humming. You were never told you could do so, nor it had any impact on the game, but to me it was really cool. It made the game world feel just a little bit alive.

Been playing Frozen Cortex, which is a fun chess-like turn-based "football" game where each play plans out their move without knowing what their opponent is doing and then it plays out. Even though its slightly based off of American Football, it plays nothing like a sports game.

 

Also picked up Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD for the ps4 and have been playing that. I remember loving X-2 as a kid but I never played X so I am going through that right now. Its pretty decent so far (about 10~ hours in). I think its about to get hype soon

Got myself Life is strange and Hand of Fate from summer sale.

I agree on Hand of Fate beign awesome, i like card games (munchkins ftw) and this game looks so good, you actualy pulling cards, you read the story and all the action happening in beatemup/slasher style, plus those rewards for quests, card tokens...ah..so good <3 (just beat the jack of scales)

 

And i like Life is strange too, it is what VN would be like if they'v got some more money and work put in it. In a nut shell it is a mystery+detective story with some sick sht, played only 2 episodes so far and i would say 7/10 fro those who like this kind of storys.
