What are you playing right now?

GTA V online with some friends. We seem to keep getting thrown on servers filled with kids from Taiwan so having my Korean buddy scream racial taunts at them over voice chat is pretty fun
 
Been trying to get back into Thief 2. Also did a few minutes on Thief with the first mission. I really should cut back on shooting every torch.

It recently got a PC port, and while unfortunately it still has Koei Tecmo's brand of quality™, its pretty gud. Its like Recettear except instead of selling stuff you create stuff as part of your job, finding and using alchemy to make things depending upon what people requested. It plays a bit like a slice of life anime, as there isn't much of an overarching goal to be had beyond making new things in the hopes that your talking book remembers more about its past. Instead, as time passes and you do more stuff, various events take place where characters visit you and/or they may be doing different things throughout town as time goes on. Its pleasant and relaxing, and mimics real life in some ways.
Gust's character models are also gorgeous. I think the character artists that worked on this game are probably some of the best in the industry:

I'm playing Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation. I don't have much of a life, so I'm attempting to achieve everysupport conversation, which quickly turned into a living hell.
 
Played more Legend of Legaia and read some... interesting dialogue regarding a jeweler and his family.

"When I was small, I asked Mother what attracted her to Father. She said it was his fat but nimble fingers. Ever since then, his nickname around the house was "Fat Fingers." "

I must have a dirty mind or something, because that sounds awfully suggestive for a game that's rated E. : P
 
Rainbow Six Siege. They've really turned it around since launch. Still fairly buggy (Especially the fucking Fuze cluster physics), but the core gameplay is fantastic now, and I've been yearning for a slow, methodical MP shooter for fucking years. It's just refreshing to be playing a CQ shooter game where I'm slowly inching around corners, sending scout drones, looking for flanks, instead of running around bunny hopping like a lunatic.

Shame Ubisoft had to be the ones to make it though, because the microtransactions, while not up to Ubisoft's usual shenanigans, are still shitty. Post launch heroes are far, far more expensive than launch ones, despite in many cases not being good enough to justify it, since most top lists still rank the launch heroes (none of which can be bought with real money) as having the best gadgets and guns. I don't think I've seen a single BOPE soldier in any match for instance. Most people figure it's just because long time players have such a massive stockpile of XP to spend, and they want new players to focus on the more "standard" heroes, but it's still obnoxious.

I think a big key to the game feeling so good is the sound design, especially when you are on the defending team. Huddling in your fortified bunker room, while hearing bootsteps clambering up and down stairwells, and such, trying to pinpoint where the fuckers are, before hearing the distinctive sound of a Fuze charge or Thermite's breacher pads is nerve wracking.

One of the few games I own that has seen its concurrent playercount keep INCREASING, exponentially even, after launch, which should say something. Seems everytime they do a free weekend, the playercount that sticks around every week roughly doubles.

I've also started playing Twilight Struggle again. Fantastic PC client for a fantastic boardgame.

Currently playing Fallout 4 and Dead or Alive 5: Last Round.
 
Was having a great time with Oblivion to get away from my villagers in Animal Crossing: New Leaf (@The Master fuck you), until my wrists started clicking like fucking beetle mandibles and I had to stop playing.

I love Skyrim to fucking pieces but Oblivion's world just feels so...grandiose, it's kind of breathtaking in its own special way.

Also I can decorate a fucking house and the shit will stay where I leave it PRAISE THE NINE DIVINES.

Still on Ni No Kuni. God help me. Got this on a sale from psn for $20. Best use of money ever spent. It has taken my body and soul.

I don't even like VNs in general, but VA-11 Hall-a is great and you should buy it. Not least because the devs are Venezuelan and 100% of your money will go towards helping them buy black market toilet paper or whatever.

The 3DS remake of Dragon Quest VIII. Lots of new content, most importantly fan favorite NPCs Red and Morrie are now playable characters.

Me too. It's pretty good so far, but I picked a fight with a hard monster on the map (it looks like a Hacksaurus IIRC) as soon as I started and barely escaped with my limbs. It's already one of my favourite DQ's though.
 
I've been playing a lot of SS13 colonial marines server. I liked the Aliens universe and appreciate the mild role playing being enforced.
My brother started playing Ark with one of our friends so I decided to start playing without letting them know and started leaving notes inside their base inviting them over to my house for dinner.
 
Picked up the Ys Origin port for PS4 to compare it to the PC release, and because I'm a whore for Falcom games. So far I've only run into one extremely minor gripe that's easily fixable--running against a northward wall diagonally seems to speed Hugo up and let him jump higher.
 
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex First Assault. It's a bretty fun FPS set in the GitS:SAC universe (yuuuge Ghost in the Shell sperg reporting). Been playing it since it was still in Early Access, stopped for a while, then picked it back up recently. For a F2P shooter, it's surprisingly not pay to win; the only thing that's worth actual money are the skins and alternate costumes.

Only gripe is that the optimization is pretty shite, and there's some shit that really needs fixing. Other than that, it's solid and worth a try.
