Gamers, what are you playing these days?

Green Man Gaming (digital games retailer) is having a summer sale, well, they've been having a sale but it's all back up again.

Lots of fairly big discounts at the mo (yes, I'll cheekily get some credit if anyone uses the referral link):

Some games (mainly older) use their own system, but PC downloads are generally for Steam (ie they give you a key to activate on Steam). It'll tell you in the game description what platform it uses.

Steam has it's own summer sale in the near future too I believe! My bank account isn't going to like this month.
 
Man, I just really don't have the desire to play video games anymore. Recently bought FF7 because it was on sale. I started the game, played it for about 30 minutes, and haven't touched in since then. I just don't have the desire to devote time to gaming.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I can't do most turn-based RPGs anymore but can still to strategy or open-world games (Fallout, Elder Scrolls, et al).
 
Haven't had a TON of time to play video games... but i've been playing Dark Souls (PS3)... and by the same developer, the King's Field games (PS1 and PS2) and Shadow Tower (PS1)... all only if i have access to the TV.

If not, on my laptop, i've been playing D&D: Temple of Elemental Evil (w/lots'o'mods).

On my commutes, on my cell-phone, it's either Cthulu Saves the World, or a moded GBA Version of Final Fantasy 1 which makes it more like the original NES version.
 
Anyone been looking at Destiny?

Gimmie guns and any kind of Force-esque powers and I'm interested. And it's done by the folks who gave us Halo? I'm pretty stoked for Destiny. As of now, I've already decided on running a Warlock because SPACE WIZARDS but can't make a final decision till I know what other classes the game with have.

Speaking of guns, a space wizardry, I'm on my 3rd full run through the Mass Effect series. This time as a Sentinel (first was vangaurd, then adept). Gonna choose a different ending but other than that I'm sticking to the boring ol' Paragon path cuz that's what I like haha.

Also, been putting some time into the FFXIV beta, which I'm liking a lot. Then there's Dragon's Crown coming out next month...

I normally run paragon as well. it's unfortunate you pretty much have to stick heavily to one side or the other or you'll get gimped hard. a renegade run is fun tho. by mass effect 3 renegade shep is a full on sociopath.
 
Downloaded a PS2 emulator as my PS2 has been incapacitated by faulty lens movement for six years and I'm way too lazy to fix it. :p Playing Castlevania: Curse of Darkness currently. People talk a lot of crap on the 3D Castlevania games... But this was one of the good ones.
