Gamers, what are you playing these days?

[NML1986]

Don't really go on my 360 much now, but I play Gears 3 when I do.
I don't have many games, I tend to play a few to death, tends to be Gears 3, GTA IV, and Modern Warfare 2.
I use to like playing Left for Dead 2, but too many arses on there, leaving games and kicking people, so don't bother with it now.

If anyone wants to really add me, my 360 name is NML1986.

Family got me a Vita for my b-day. Right now playing Luminese Electronic Symphony....very cool, good music.

Unit 13 and Wipeout 2048 waiting in the wings.

lol stupid question: any fans of the first person driving camera angle in GTA4? lol my friends think I'm weird, but I swear it takes the unrealisticly slow speed of driving in any other angle and gives you the "actual speed" and handles better to boot!

I actually hated everything about driving in GTA4. The clumsy follow camera, the worst braking abilities known to man and of course the moon gravity. Nothing like barely clipping a 4" curb to send your car into a series of barrel rolls...

I've been playing free pc games like TF2 and WOT lately.

The only thing I really play on PC is Minecraft, here and there for the past few years. My PC isn't the best, and it's fun.

I just started Dragon Quest VIII on PS2.

I recently discovered I like RPGs a few week ago (Mario RPG). haha. I've missed out on about 20yrs worth of RPGs.

There we go...

DQ8 is indeed awesome, but so is every single game in the series (although I haven't played 9).

The PS2 remake of DQ5 is mindblowing! Although it's in Japanese, some group translated it and released a patch which I applied to the ISO image and tada! The game's in English now!

Yes, old-style RPGs are a goldmine! Enjoy! Feel free to ask for suggestions.

lol then drive in first person. yea, the driving.......it's kinda funny after you play a game with unrealistic driving physics like saints row. what I find is if you use reverse that's actual brake, vs the hand brake which is for slamming you into whereever lol.

Cool. Will do
I have Kingdom Hearts ready, after I finish DQ8. I have a lot of roms on my original xbox.
I'm generally pretty bad at video games. I loaded up Zelda for SNES and I died in 5 min. hahaha. I was more into Road Rash, Streets of Rage, Mario 1-3, Excitebike when I was a kid.

I really don't understand what the big catch with gears was. I have the GOW3 Bundle and It just seems.........slow.

I don't know really, I've always been a shoot 'em up player, I like the horde on it, I play on VS matches sometimes, but get whooped, my reactions are too slow now lol.

I enjoy playing more when my friends are online too, but they tend to always be playing the next big game release.

Never liked Zelda. Tried almost all of them and they were boring to me.

Turn-based RPGs are more my style.

 

[LiquidMidnight]

I'm pretty old school when it comes to games. Recently, I played the NES port of Pool of Radiance, and Megaman X for SNES.

 

[scorpionldr]

so what's the best emulator? Anyone have any preference?

Looking to play n64, snes, nes. Maybe PS2/ps games later on.

I seem to be leaning towards the turn based style as well.

What are your favorites for PS and PS2? Might as well throw in a few SNES as well

Skyrim on PS3. 100+ hours without touching on the main story line much. Thats a 100 hours I could have been practicing...

 

[NML1986]

Never get tired of playing the original Doom series on PC and Play Station.

 

[scorpionldr]

for metal!!!!???!!!!

oh absolutely. But yea lol. For metal.

No, I mean some roms I play just seem jittery or something. I was wondering what ppl use. I want to put that 360 controller to good use.

Emulator
zsnes for snes

I got a hacked xbox with a ton of roms on dvds. I'm not sure whats on there.

 

[pacojas]

i'm still playing "Rainbow Six"!!!

 

[Popbumper]

Been playing a lot on Minecraft(PC). A lot. I wouldn't recommend it. Its a monumental timesink and may ruin your ability to interact with normal people. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go harvest my Zombie Trap and Spider spawner.

Holy friggin crap. Over Memorial day weekend i swear my son and I logged a solid 24 hours on Minecraft - on the XBOX. We play nearly every day; he also plays it on PC. As long as they keep delivering updates and mods, I won't tire of it soon. It's very immersive, I love the "old style 16 bit-looking" graphics. The number of worlds and domiciles/cave systems we have created is enormous. In one of our latest worlds we created a huge, wooden floored sandstone ballroom, replete with snack bar, stage and restrooms - adjacent to the 10 room hotel with a guided cave tour underground. Crazy stuff!!!

?

This seems backwards to me. Turn based RPGs were always dull when compared to the "real time" battles in Zelda, IME. Ocarina of Time on 3DS is friggin gorgeous!
