What are you playing right now?

I just completed the Spyro Reignited Trilogy again, it’s still an enjoyable game.

That said fuck the ESRB and hypersensitives for changing the Gnorcs’ weapons in Twilight Harbor and, to some extent, the Gatling Gun Dinos in Dino Mines.

Harvest Moon: One World - There's some nice ideas like the portable farm, but it falls short of it's full potential.

 

[C.U.N.T.]

Battlefield 1 mostly. Still a spectacular game, so immersive and cinematic. At least equal to any other game in the series. It has hitreg and teambalancing issues though.
SkaterXL a lot too, great mods available.
I fired up the Trinitron for some retro goodness this week. Wonderboy, arcade beatemups and S/NES games. For vertical shmups (don't like horizontal ones) and Bombjack I have a smaller crt in tate mode.

Only women should be legally allowed to play Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing, or watch My Little Pony.

MLB the Show 21 while listening to baseball radio broadcasts is max comfy

Replaying Deus Ex: Human Revolution cause it reminds me of current events

Harvest Moon: One World - There's some nice ideas like the portable farm, but it falls short of it's full potential.

You don't know about the copyright debacle, do you? Basically, the good Harvest Moon games are now called "Story of Seasons" because Natsume, acting like a toddler, took their ball and went home. The latest one, Pioneers of Olive Town, has a rather mixed reception, but the games prior to that have been well-received.

Finally got around to hacking my 3DS, only to realize there are about 3 more games I actually want to play for it.

Good lord 3DS sucked compared to DS and GBA. On the upside, I put a ton of DS games on it. Never a bad time for Chrono Trigger.

Secret of Evermore. Used to watch a childhood friend pick at this for ages back in the day. Bought a copy awhile ago and am finally working through it.

A user in another thread said that the main reason Earthbound is so popular with the online crowd is that it's "omg quirky", while I don't think that's entirely true, I'm bringing it up because Evermore is a game that does quirky right. The game has tons of genuinely punny lines that work despite the game's world not being particularly silly itself. Good game so far.

A patrician choice. I was a Secret of Mana fanboy back in the day (whatever that says about me) and I ended up getting into Evermore because it was basically sold as the follow up to that.

As it turned out, the games had virtually nothing in common besides the combat, but I ended up being just as into it as SoM because the game has so much character in its own right, as well as a pretty healthy amount of RPG content to back it up.

It was oddly dark too, and sometimes unsettling in the imagery and vibe. The game has this sort of strange presence to it, like the Oddworld games.

A good choice as it's a decent follow-up to Secret of Mana, though like mentioned above has nothing to do with it. Hopefully your playthrough will go far better than mine; I'd likely think back on the game far more fondly if I didn't manage to encounter what felt like every single bug/glitch the game had, consisting of things like randomly causing essential actions to just not work or making me invincible/a one hit kill by everything at a coinflip.

Resident Evil 2 Remake

 

[ShitlordroltihS]

Dragon Age 2

 

[Bluey]

Gonna start up FF9. Got it on sale on the E shop along side World of FF Maxima.

 

[VIPPER?]

I've been playing a lot of Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (0.E Stable) because I love looking at big numbers and tons of processes happening to calculate gibs, but that's about it. Occasionally I boot up OpenTTD, but I really don't understand rail signals very well so I make one or two lines and then quit as soon as it gets good.

I booted up Steam for the first tiem in a while, and apparently the last game I played on Steam was back around New Year's. Seems fitting though. I've only used the thing to link back up with people back home or from basic recently. Most of the games I have on it are complete trash, or I've beaten already.

Red Dead Redemption 2, I am in Chapter Four.

 

[Antarctic Hellbeast]

Destiny 2.
Having Fun watching the cringe from the plague of cheaters in trials unfold from the lighthouse.
Still on the fence about buying beyond light. Forsaken had more things to do when it was that price.
Its awfully expensive for 1 planet no one gives a shit about and 1 raid.

 

[Captain Sensible]

I’ve been making my way through 428: Shibuya Scramble. As far as visual novels go it’s done pretty nicely. Some of the jokes don’t make the transition to english all that well but it’s been enjoyable so far.

Outer Worlds. It's just KOTOR/Mass Effect but snarky.

I'm enjoying it but it is piss easy if you bother to do even a handful of early sidequests. Most enemies don't damage me any more, I can hack/lockpick anything and talk my way out of most situations despite the fact that I'm only around a quarter of the way through the main story quests according to the guide I looked up.

It really falls victim to the trend of devs wanting to shove a bunch of side content into their game without realising it breaks the game as a whole.

I bought project wingman in early march, and have spent the last 2 months trying to beat both the campaign and conquest modes on mercenary mode with realistic controls.

It's a love letter to the ace combat games, specifically ace combat zero, made by one guy. Arcade air combat with planes carrying a frankly irresponsible level of weaponry capable of leveling a small nation. Honestly I prefer it to the ace combat games, having multiple special weapons and more ammunition then is responsible for a carrier group coupled with ridiculous amounts of enemies, including landships, flying battleships, and planes with railguns.

The best part of the game by far though is the music. The dev spent 40% of his limited budget on music by jose pavoli, and the results are incredible. Most of the OST is one banger track after another, the second half of the game's tracks excel at pulling you into a cross between top gun and the final epic battle from any number of action movies, and sound fantastic through a car stereo.

Once you beat the game you get mercenary mode, which makes all the AI more intelligent and adds late game formations to the early game missions. Every level ends up a bullethell shooter made of angry hornets.

Not bad for $25.
