Gamers, what are you playing these days?

been wanting to check that out for a while now, it doesn't strike me as something I want to pay full price for. Hurricane Sandy gave me the opportunity to play it for about 5 hours and what I felt the entire time was "this is alright but far from great" but for some reason I could not turn it off... It's kind of weird like that. Several other people I've talked to think the same thing about it. the fact that I was reluctant to shut it off is reason enough for me to want to buy.

I really love it. It's hard to go from skyrim of witcher 2 on pc to it as it has the more cartoony cell shaded graphic style. But I love it and play the living crap out of it. It's not childish in any way definitely worth playing And since Bethesda can't seem to get anything right on the ps3 in happy to playing anything didn't make haha. The only drawback to KOA is the company that made the game no longer exists so there won't be anymore DLC for it.
 
Final Fantasy I and XIII-2 ( I have a DLC for it otherwise I have all the Trophies ). I also play Limbo, Braid and Journey. I don't have all the trophies so I try that.

I also want to play replay God Of War 1 and 2, Heavy Rain and Fallout3 to have the platinum ( I have at least 89% trophies on all those games ... so I'm not so far to the platinum ).

I want to do that prior buying something new. I just have to do it.
 
I just started Sleeping Dogs, which I got as a free offer for buying a new graphics card. Really loving it so far!
I play BFBC2 as well and BF3 occasionally. I was good on xbox but I am terrible on PC.
It makes me angry like the hulk. I hate rage quitting but it has happened far too often lately.... I am much better at BFBC2

Fallout 2 (which I think is the greatest game ever) and Minecraft.

I played Fallout 2 for about 10+ times now, been playing it since the first time it came out.
I have the urge to install Fallout 3 nowadays. Being "in" the wasteland, not being able to see anything the first time you got out of the vault just blew my mind.

I've played Half-Life Black Mesa a few weeks ago and once I finished it, I went back to HL2.

Last year I finished the original HL series, it was a blast playing them again. I don't know why but I enjoyed Blue Shift the most this time.:hyper:
 
Finished up with Borderland 2 on the Xbox recently, been playing some Halo 4 since it came out, mostly online, the campaign sort of sucks :/

I'm still playing Tribes: Ascend mostly.


Been enjoying a new character on Skyrim too, I've left it long enough to be able to get back into it :D Crossbows in the DLC are pretty schweet, but I've picked up a mod to add a lot more variety to them, sort of felt a bit gibbed being promised crossbow only to find out there are bugger all of them in game.
 
Dust 514 =) I'm pretty specialized into forge guns, which tanks and dropships NEVER expect w00t!

I'm really excited to see where this game goes. I didn't know it was released yet though, did you get into a beta or something?

I might have to pick up a PS3 exclusively for it (and then I can finally catch up on MGS too!).


Long time EvE fan, haven't played in a couple of years but I've always liked where CCP tend to go with their ideas. Eve really struck a chord with me and explored a lot of thing I have wanted to see in a game for a long time, and with the development of Dust 514 and it's integration into the same real time universe I feel (hope?) they're moving another step in the right direction.
 
Ah, fair enough.

That's a pain in the boobies, thought they were still trying to get a way of working it for the PS3 (i.e. hadn't heard them say it was completelly out of the question). Not all that surprising that they are hitting hardware limits on a 6 year old system.

They say they are working with Sony to get it fixed but that it may never come out.

Its not a hardware issue on the PS3 its a programming issue with Bethesda, can't find the article again, wish I could. but yeah basically PS3 is (probably) getting no Skyrim DLC. Well, I should say its a little of both. Xbox uses 32MB for system and 480MB for the games to run on. PS3 is split 256 system 256 for the game. That part is Sony's bad. The reason Bethesda deserves some blame is that they had access to PS3's hardware and could have built the game around it, but didn't. Amalur is just as big as Skyrim and runs flawlessly, Dragons Dogma is bigger than Skyrim and runs perfectly. I could name quite a few other large games that run as good or better on PS3; Darksiders 2, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 are good examples. so really it's 2 companies bad decisions coming together in a perfect storm of screwing gamers over on an awesome game.
