What are you playing right now?

[Overcast]

Currently playing the original Shin Megami Tensei on my phone.

I'm liking it so far. Recruiting demons is kind of a pain in the ass, but that's pretty much par for the course for this series.

 

[Captain_Asshole]

Phantasy Star Zero, probably the closest thing to that PSO feel.

 

[Zarkov]

LA Noire. I like the game so far, but God I absolutely hate every single minute I have to spend in a motherfucking car. Cole isn't driving cars, he's driving bricks.

 

[The Sourdough Region]

I've been replaying S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl lately. There's nothing quite like going back to the zone.

 

[Morose_Obesity]

I'm close to another big, round number in gamerscore so I'm actually playing Minecraft.
This shit is easy. Hopefully the ender dragon will make me sweat a bit.

 

[Pikapool]

Fire emblem echoes it's not bad and I like it shows the story from the two protagonists POV

 

[FierceBrosnan]

Doing a fun run through Bloodborne this week. I promised myself I wouldn't go full :autism: and do hours of spelunking for blood gems but that was a promise I could not keep.

Emperor: Battle for Dune, playing as House Harkonnen in the campaign that has a more interesting story out of all the factions.

Spoiler: Reason why

Brother vs Brother mission where you can choose to join either the older brother that murdered their father to usurp the throne or the younger brother who thinks (rightfully so) that his older brother is a retarded manchild too incompetent to rule. Basically, an all out civil war on the Harkonnen home planet Giedi Prime.

I remember playing against my dad in this game and he always spammed Ordos cobras(mobile artillery) and mortar troopers. I even lead a sardaukar charge against him for the lulz while playing this.

Currently going thought Tales of Vesperia. I am about 25 hours in and i enjoying every minute of it. there isn't party I don't like and battles system is pretty good, even if takes ten hours to get really good. The only thing I am mad about it is that we never got the improved PS3 version. its real shame.

 

[charmaide]

Sims 3. Mostly building houses than anything.

 

[Zeorus]

I got Chroma Squad in a bundle recently and have fallen in love with it. All the silliness of sentai/tokusatsu shows in a turn-based RPG.

 

[POWER IN MISERY]

snagged prey on sale and holy fuck i am hooked. i love how tense almost every confrontation is, the fact i'm barely scraping by with supplies, the exploration, and i'm really digging the plot. really, i like just about any game where you're trying to survive on some structure with spooky enemies. i haven't been this stuck on a game since i grabbed D44M last year.

Zombie Highway 2. It's a sequel to another similar game.

It's a zombie-themed endless runner that consists of going down a highway in a car that only go forward, with simple but compelling combat mechanics, largely based on resource management but fast-paced. Like its predecessor, it uses the accelerometer very well, which most games neglect. The steering is crisp and precise.

The general theme is you're in a car driving down a highway, through cities, tunnels, and other environments while zombies jump on your car and try to tip it over. Debris on the road can also kill you if you collide with it. You can scrape the zombies off using the debris, as well, or by swiping into a wall. Or you can shoot them with a variety of weapons, until you run out of ammo, whereupon you generally die pretty quickly. As many as four zombies can swarm your vehicle, and two on either side of it can often flip it over. Any of this immediately ends the game.

Games generally last about as long as the usual casual game you'd play while waiting for an appointment or on the bus, and there's also an "expert mode" which is a genuine nightmare mode.

One thing, it has the dreaded microtransactions, but the only one you need to play the game for free forever is to make even one purchase. I have played this so much that I decided to cough up $5 for that. That gave enough of the game's currency to get halfway to the terminal weapon in the game, and grinding got me the best vehicle. So it's not really pay to win if you're willing to grind a bit, and all of the other weapons and vehicles can be unlocked just by actually playing the game.

It can be played totally for free, though, minus the typical bullshit ads in free to play games (they only show up about a third of the time a game ends).

Also I'll note it has its own physics engine, as compared to the usual bullshit of just slap some crap together in Unity and plaster it with wall to wall ads and bullshit.

 

[Rokko]

Steel Division Normandy 44. I like it so far.

 

[Morose_Obesity]

That Minecraft beta for the new "better together" update"

 

[Medici]

Stardew Valley is pretty neat. Been playing some SMITE with my girlfriend too. I stay away from conquest though. The standard MOBA game mode makes me wanna blow my brains out. Incredibly boring and slow.

 

[D.Angus]

I've gotten back into Space Station 13.. Last night I spent two hours playing the stockmarket in Cargo while the station was going to chaos with a Vending Machine uprising and a Zombie threat.. I had lost half the stations credits too.. Thankfully the miners got us a shit ton of gold within the first twenty minutes, so I had plenty of extra dosh to waste.

 

[Bob Page]

Killing Floor 2, playing as the Firebug while whistling Mrs. Robinson by Simon & Garfunkle and roasting vietcon- Errrr, I mean zeds.

 

[Morose_Obesity]

Imma buy the "Life is Strange" prequel this week, real close to a big, solid gamerscore # and it will be easy cheevos. Plus the girls I know only want to play it, or Kinect shit. I do know a cool chick who will play the drums for Rock Band, though.

 

[Krungus]

Playing through Persona 3 and playing some Quake Champions. Mainly passing time until the Mordhau alpha.
