What Video Games Are You Playing Right Now?

[Corrupted]

Dead Cells 1.0 is out. I'm replaying it and this time not buying any stupid blueprints. This is definitely the best roguelike, ever. At least, if you like Dark Souls.

Played a few hours of Bloodborne's DLC. I don't have a PS4 so I carry around a USB with me and play at friends.

Ludwig is the high point of the entire fucking DLC. What a fucking boss, what a fucking tune.

So i finished Drakengard 3. And even got platinum. Took me slightly less than an hour to beat Ending D. The main problem was to synchronize video. It took more tries than actually to beat the song. Good game overall, except for frame rate. Too bad i don't have access to DLC.

Next is Shenmue Collection. Already in the beginning of original disc 3. Just

Spoiler

got the job in the harbor.

Got the last main ending for Nier Automata and I have to say the game was a really good experience. I enjoyed the characters and their arcs over each playthrough from A2's development over the course of a surprisingly short arc (though I do wish her backstory was better integrated into the main plot) to 9S' tragic path . One thing I really loved though was the game's soundtrack, p robably the best I've heard from a Square game since the PS1 days. Admittedly the game has some flaws, though most are in the mechanical department be it the virus stage or the platforming sections which are thankfully mostly in side content. Now there's only one thing left do...check out some 2B douji-err...check out some articles explaining the deeper themes about the game

the 2B Doujin, only a few of them are okay, they are pretty bland.

Spoiler

70-man battle

Next was gonna be Shenmue 2, but... We have Detroit discount now, so guess it's gonna be it.

[Funyarinpa]

I bought TWEWY again on Android... 

[haanuman]

Thinking of getting battlefield 1 since bf3 and 4 were pretty good.

[Kurisu-Chan]

I spent the entire summer playing shogun 2 total war, and not once i managed to beat the main campaign in legendary difficulty, because i always stop before conquering all of japan. 

[BookwormOtaku]

Got to a good enough stopping point in Utawarerumono 2 to put it on hold in favor of Dragon Quest XI

[BookwormOtaku]

Well, I've gotten to the point of all the party members joining in DQXI and from what I've played so far I really like it. The story's good, the visuals are great and the voice acting's really good. Looks like the next part involves a mcguffin hunt for 7  6 magical orbs, that sure seems familiar...

I'm now replaying Bloodborne and playing Catherine, thanks to PS Now.

Catherine is problematic in many ways but I still really enjoy it so far.

And Bloodborne's the masterpiece it always was.

[Fred the Barber]

I've never played a mobage before, but, uh... I might be really really enjoying Dragalia Lost. It's cute and fun and funny!

[MirāNoHebi]

Avorion. A fun space exploration + spaceship building game still in early access. Sometimes I create ships inspired by something or outright trying to recreate something. I created this ship inspired by the Goa'uld Ha'tak in Stargate SG-1.

Finished DQXI not so long ago. It was an awesome game with a pretty good story even if the game was easier than the previous ones but still I really enjoyed it. Now I'm on AC Odyssey as well as AC2 with the Ezio collection  (still as great as I remember)!

Spent a good half of the day playing Jurassic World: Evolution. Man, what a disappointment. As shallow as a puddle. I don't remember Operation Genesis being this boring. Creating a bunch of dinosaurs and babysitting them just don't have the same wonder as it used to. I don't know; maybe I'm bored of dinosaurs.

Then again, if the park management side of the gameplay have been more diversified like Zoo Tycoon, I might have not felt like snoozing off every five minutes. The kind of exhibits you could display here is just so limited due to the limited spacing you're given (it's a freaking dinosaur-park - you need space). Even Isla Sorna wasn't nearly big enough to contain four exhibits alone.

Sigh. Oh well. What a wasted day, Should've just stuck to visual novels. Or online Pokemon trading cards even.

Played a little Hitman 2 today - or rather, the free prologue anyway. lol Don't have the spare cash for the actual game... yet. Still have to wait for December before I get my bonus, so I've left it in my wishlist in the meantime.

But damn, the game lags like a cow on my pos machine. Just kept me thinking, "Man, I'd rather spend my time catching up with my VNs right now rather than wait for this slow-a** game to load." Heh.  VNs never lag! Hah!

But yeah, it's lots of fun. I've been a big fan of Hitman games for a long time. The sandbox element of letting you choose the many ways you want to carry out your assassination... so much fun. Gives your experience that personal touch. No first kill of many players are the same. Very delightful gaming experience.

Still, with all the VNs I'm planning to catch up with, I highly doubt I'd have the time for this. Not to mention that I also borrowed Tropico 4 from my friend that I wanna try out (since I kinda dig park management games as well). It's going to be a busy month.

[UnlimitedMoeWorks]

Playing the Spyro Reignited Trilogy on my PS4. I've always been a fan of collectathon 3D platformers since I was a kid, so I picked it up considering I never got the chance to play the PS1 originals.

Currently playing Wildlife Park 2. Initially avoided this game because of the mixed reviews on Steam, but my craving for animal management games won out (and there's only like one other video game of such kind, which is Zoo Tycoon, but I've already played this before).

WP2 definitely bears vibes of Zoo Tycoon, and it brings such fond memories. I remember the missions being quite fun in Zoo Tycoon. There's just a kind of satisfaction from taking care of animals, especially if you're an animal lover like myself. WP2's missions fare admirably so far, ranging in a variety of objectives to keep me entertained. But obviously, it's still not as polished as Zoo Tycoon. Can't complain though, since there aren't a lot of quality animal tycoon games out there that don't suck. Even the sequel, Wildlife Park 3, has received far worse reviews than WP2.

To this game's credit, it's already far more interesting than Jurassic World: Evolution. Oh, the irony...

[MirāNoHebi]

Rise to Ruins, a godlike meets tower defense game. Played 5 hours straight after getting it. Really fun figuring out how you build your village so it grows fast enough to meet the ever increasing enemy presence.

I bought The Witcher 3 when it first came out and I'm still playing it. Trying to beat every mission my first time through was probably a bad idea. Anyway, I just finally beat Hearts of Stone and am just starting Blood and Wine. I wonder how long it will take me to beat Cyberpunk 2077. It's pretty much the only western game I'm looking forward to, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Lead us not into temptation, as they say.

...annnnd I fell into it. Bought Hitman 2. Furthermore, it's the Gold Edition, costing $129. Sigh. Kinda regretted it after a few hours of gameplay. I mean, it's a great game but... it feels kinda... empty, compared to the visual novels I could have bought. All the great exploration of this sandbox game can't make up for the richness of good storytelling of visual novels.

Can't refund it, of course, since it's been more than two hours.

But I kinda expected this to happen. I've always been impulsive, not to mention that I'm the sort who would buy things to make myself feel better, only to have buyer's remorse soon after. That's kinda what happened last night, why I changed my mind and bought this game, to make myself feel better. And also because I thought it might have been time to move on from visual novels from now on.

But Hitman 2 turned out to be a lot more stale than I expected. Its gameplay of allowing you to execute kills through multiple methods was fun enough... for a while. But it's just about as fun as solving a puzzle box through multiple methods. There's no substance to the puzzle box. It's a puzzle box, and you solve it. That's it. There's no story, no characters that would comfort you. It doesn't care if it makes you happy or sad because it's not a story that would make you happy or sad - it's a puzzle box. You solve it and you another brain, that's it.

Anyway, I'm sure there are tons of other people out there who love this game and find my complaints stupid or whatever. Doesn't really matter anymore, does it? Money's gone, money's gone...

Gonna look into selling my 3DS (and my Pokemon Moon game) to make up for the loss. Hope I could at least get back $100 since the screen's full of blemishes.

Played four hours of Smash today. My thumbs are sore.
