What Video Games Are You Playing Right Now?

[AMMSY]

If your GPU can handle it, I'd also recommend getting the official HD Textures Pack provided by Bethesda.  I have a GTX 770, and with all of my fans set on high, it runs without a stutter.  Solid FPS rate and everything.  Now, if only I could get SR3 to stop being so goddamn spazzy, I'd play it more often.

 

Ehhh...personally, I'd pass on Watch Dogs.  The whole game looked a little rushed compared to open world games like GTA and Red Dead Redemption.  The hacking mechanic is pretty cool, but Ubisoft missed the bar they set for themselves at E3 by a lot.  Even the reflections don't work right. 

  There's a lot of DLC costume packs, too, and a lot of forced stealth, which ends in automatic mission failure if you're detected.  Get the game if you want, but I wouldn't recommend supporting crappy business practices, like what Ubi did with the game.

 

The official HD pack comes with the legendary edition of skyrim, ain't it?

 

I did say CPU because he mention he as GTX 780 which is more than enough in the graphics department.

With all it's flaws, I did enjoy Watch Dogs. and it can fully use the 780 with the PC modification thats running around the Internet (bringing back graphics close to how they were in E3). they downgraded their graphics to (probably) accommodated for the console peasants... hopefully it would happen less the more consoles catch up with PCs.

 

As for the shady business practices, can't say I can defend them. Ubi with AC and EA with ME and DA are just holding my favorite franchisees as hostages. but they are who make them after all :/

 

except for the legendary Projekt RED, these guys are awesome.

For anyone here who has played World of Warcraft and/or Wildstar which do you guys think i should renew sub on? In the mood for both just not sure which I want to spend a month on.

I played WoW for years and quit during throne of thunder heroics.  I also played the wildstar trial for a few days and just was unimpressed altogether.  If I had to make a choice I'd say WoW because the developers are more experienced and the expansion is coming out soon.

 

However if you are also looking for a new experience there is also Final Fantasy XIV:  A Realm Reborn, which just got it's 2.3 patch release.

Is final fantasy XIV: Realm reborn good?

[V_Kitsune_V]

Fire Emblem Awakening, I just got it after watching a couple of videos on it, and I already know which person is gonna be Morgans mother, Nowi. The fire in me burns for some loli, and I refuse to let Donnel or Ricken have her. I'm glad that MU Robin has no boundaries at all, marrying even the women who could be his children

I wouldn't know, since theres no way in hell I'm paying monthly to play a game, my meager minimum wage salary does not permit it

Okey ^^ Did not know it cost monthly ><

[LiquidShu]

I have Final Fantasy ARR was so pumped for it... Have it on my PS4 and I prefer to play my MMO's on PC I have found out. If I am going to drop close to $30 on a game for PC it is going to be DayZ.

[Dracule Mihawk]

Gonna play some Cs;go

Is final fantasy XIV: Realm reborn good?

In my opinion, yes.  However it does have it's issues.  First of all if you're going to ever play it, I recommend researching which servers have the best community you want (PvE, PvP, random parties, etc etc.) because that can make or break your experience, especially now that new content is being released pretty quickly.

 

After that is the somewhat high learning curve for fights, as square enix has been making encounters in PvE with some rather unforgiving mechanics (instant-death if you screw up, instant raid wipe if you specifically screw up, etc etc) but it just feels fantastic to play through them all.

One such fight.  Recently as well is the new Savage mode raid where not even the developers have been able to beat it, as it's just....BRUTAL.

 

There is also the crafting and gathering in FFXIV that are fundamentally different than say, WoW.  There are crafting classes that all have their own specific types of crafts but there is also gear and specific stats tied to each one (for crafting there is Craftsmanship which increases the rate of completion on the craft, Control which increases how much quality is put onto the craft when you try to increase it's overall quality, and CP which is the resource pool a crafting class has to work with to use it's abilities).  For crafting there is the concept of "High Quality" items, as in you go through the craft and try to increase it's quality as much as possible (to a maximum of 100% chance to high quality the craft) and give it additional stats, effects etc (for weapons it would get more weapon/magic damage and an increase to it's base stats as well), but if you go through the entire craft and the Durability reaches Zero, the craft fails and you lose the materials you put into it.

 

And while it may cost a monthly subscription (just like every other decent MMO out there), you can effectively pay less per month if you do several months at a time (280 day subscription costs me $12 per 30 days in a one-time payment rather than dividing it up into several $15 payments every month.)

Nosgoth is surprisingly good. I'm enjoying it a lot, and having gotten it along with about twenty other games for $15 dollars, it was quite the bargain.

[crunchytaco]

Has anyone been waiting for this game? I might grab it on the 12th as an excuse to use my PS3 again.

 

Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed 

 

 

 

[crunchytaco]

...why is she holding a pair of boxers?  Is it a pun on the same?

 

Apparently you get points for stripping people

 

 

[Narcosis]

I'd rather get Galgun, than this. The 3D and modeling in AS is tragic. Old Illusion games like Schoolmate or Homemate had way better graphics and animations. It's clear, the game has been made to be fully compatible with PSVita, and PS3 is just an addition, since it retains full compatibility; yet, it still boogles me, as it's a game meant to run on PS3. It's prolly the most wasted console on the market.

 

I haven't been playing that much as of late, mainly due to being quite busy with life, tho:

 

 

Don't even ask.

Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed 

 

 

 

I pre-ordered Akibas Trip 2 for Vita the moment it was available. It's the perfect kind of stupidity I like in some games. 

[solidbatman]

Is the entire game about stripping the opposing character?  The gameplay synopsis I read mentioned "combat" but failed to elaborate much, only mentioned stripping being part of it.

Stripping vampires at least (and both sexes can be stripped and will have portraits). It's likely a mediocre brawler with the stripping novelty factor driving sales. 

[Nayleen]

Started playing Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl and I'm having a blast, especially with having to draw my own maps. Never thought I'd get so into it.

[solidbatman]

I've come to an agreement with Hatsune Miku Project Diva f. It will preserve my blood pressure from rising too much, and in the process, spare the life of my Vita. 

[SilverLi]

Started playing Divinity Original Sin yesterday. Looks promising. Got feelings from an original hack n' slash. Also playing Zelda: A Link Between Worlds on my 3DS just for the nostalgia too.

[madvanced]

I'm still playing, I'm mean just grinding at his point because I only have 1 boss left, Demon Gaze on my Vita, and playing CS 1.6/CZ/Source and Insurgency on my pc because it isn't handling other games, except VNs, because it's a somewhat broken laptop that is overheating.

Shin Megami Tensei IV can go straight to hell with its demon negotiation. Persona 2 has much much better negotiation because the choices are actually consistent and match up with arcanas. With SMT IV, it feels like a crap shoot early on. Ah well, constant save- reloads will rule the day.

How does SMT IV compare to the other SMT games? I haven't played it because I don't own a 3ds.

I haven't beaten a mainline game, but I like Nocturne more than I like SMT IV so far.

I haven't beaten one either from the main games, that said I did re-start playing Nocturne a while ago, that game is unforgiving.
