General Gaming What are you playing today?

[Remarkableriots]

Playing Far Cry 4 and so far I'm 44.3% of the way through the game.

[Biggie]

Metroid Dread

[best3444]

I'm pretty sure I'm buying and playing FC6 this evening. I'll buy Metroid after I finish FC.

[BloodyHell]

FF7 grinding, downloaded Bastion, so I might check that out. I want to play Metroid Dread really bad, but im saving it for downtime at work next week.

[heydude93]

Alan Wake - still a fantastic game to immerse yourself in after dark. The new character models, animations and textures make this feel more like definitive completed version than a remaster.

 

Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania - still a timeless videogame ass videogame, improved and refined to play better than ever now. Only complaint: why isn't there online multiplayer?

 

Kena:BoS - I heard how short this is and thought corrupted taro was the final boss lol.  Glad there's still so much left, it's been a breath of fresh air so far.  ^_^

Mass Effect 2 (LE)- I’ve been slowly making my way through this over the course of a month or more. I have the full crew and all but one or two are loyal. I don’t remember how much there is to do after that. Also seeing a lot of this DLC for the first time. I think the only one I bought back in the day was Lair of the Shadow Broker. 
 

Back 4 Blood - Seems good/fine. Glad it’s on Game Pass, because I probably won’t get a ton out of it. 

[best3444]

FC6 then either Metroid Dread OR TLUS2 

[gamer.tv]

Working my way (we’ll, I say working, I mean enjoying massively and slowly) Luigi's Mansion 3. 
 

With life, at a push, I have about 45 minutes of downtime to game (I use my commute for working and reading), so everything takes a long time. I could definitely go for a pause button from time to time, just to really sit down and enjoy something, without that feeling that I should be doing something more important.

Hell Let Loose - perhaps the most frustrating and rewarding shooters Ive ever played. Im still not sure I like it, but I cant stop playing it. 

[Paperclyp]

I just beat Circle of the Moon. 
 

I have to say…fuck this game? 
 

Perhaps I needed to engage with the card system more or something, but the boss difficulty spikes are absurd, and my thumbs are literally throbbing with all of the fucking double tapping you have to do just to run. The controls feel like they are stuck in mud. I had some fun in the early and mid game but honestly that might be the worst non-NES Castlevania game I’ve ever played. 

[Bloodporne]

Trying out all the extra episodes in Quake. Never played anything but the base game.

[Dre801]

Finally wrapped up The Ascent.  Game was longer than I expected and very hard at times.

[aett]

I'm finally getting back into Yakuza 0. I bought it for six bucks a few years ago and have put a little time into the game here and there, but I've been playing a lot over the last few days. (Although it's confusing - Steam says I've played at least 15 hours in the past week for a total of 30-something, but the in-game timer says it's only been 18 hours total). Like everyone says, the game is really good. So far I have to say that I think Like a Dragon is better, but that might be the lifelong RPG fan in me talking.

[Phaseknox]

I stopped playing Gravity Rush Remastered because some of the bosses were annoying me. I plan to return to it again in the future.

 

I played and finished The Takeover in just a few sittings. It’s a fairly average arcade style side scrolling beat-em-up. I enjoyed it for the most part, but it’s not as good as the classics.

 

Now I’m playing Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, and enjoying it. It’s a colorful and cute 2D pixel art side scrolling beat-em-up with a lot of charm.

[TheLeon]

Just finished Mass Effect 2:LE. Had a great time revisiting that game. Now I think I’m going to bounce back to the other series I started this summer and dive into the Final Fantasy 2 pixel remaster.

I did a very similar thing, though I bought it last year - got to a pint where I had to escape from a Yakuza building by beating up roughly 800 enemies and then haven’t returned to it. Maybe it’s time…

How many hours do you think you put in? Impressions?

That part almost ended my run after a couple of failed attempts. And I mean BADLY failed.

 

My advice is to stock up on health (and heat, and health+heat) medicine. Don't forget to use the items around the rooms (chairs, computers, etc.) and attack enemies with them. They don't do a ton of damage usually, but can be good for hitting several guys at once.

 

Also, be sure to spend money to upgrade your abilities. The health increases in each fighting style apply to ALL fighting styles.

Continuing with my Age of Wonders 3 Sundren campaign. Chose the Torchbearer ('good guys') path, currently at the Underground Eruption mission. Apparently need to move quickly, lest a count-down to game-over timer appears. Not exactly happy when having to play a mission with turn limits.

[gamer.tv]

Now, despite my previous post - the recent talk of Nintendo Online has given me a real urge to play some older games (and I’m sure swiftly remind myself why I haven’t bothered for a while). Most specifically F Zero GX, Perfect Dark and Metroid Prime. 

[Dre801]

Resident Evil Revelations 2.

[Phaseknox]

I stopped playing Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game because I started playing River City Girls to check it out since I’m currently in a beat-em-up mood, and it has its hooks in me. It’s an adventure beat-em-up with an interconnected open-ended game world, and light RPG elements. I’m really digging it. I’ll go back to Scott Pilgrim again at some point since I was enjoying it, but I would rather play River City Girls now since I like it even more.

[best3444]

In about 30 minutes I'm going to put 4-5 more hours into FC6. Looking forward to it!

[Nokt]

I'm trying really really hard to play Half Life Alyx with continuous settings. My brain just can't seem to adjust, I get dizzy within 10 minutes or so and either have to quit or swap back to blink. Considering its my first game, maybe I should just stick with blink for now and try continuous later when my body is a little more adjusted. I've heard using a fan helps and most people recommend just stopping once you feel sick. I might buy a game where progress isn't as important that I can pick up and put down more easily.

Definitely get something more simple to adjust, but some people Definitely have problems with vr.

I got annoyed with the third boss in River City Girls, so I decided to take a break from it and come back to it later.

 

I started Evoland, and finished it rather quickly since it was only three hours. Now I’m playing Evoland II.

[AbsolutSurgen]

So little time to play games recently -- and I play a lot less during football season.

 

Wrapping up the last couple of missions of Watch Dogs: Legion.

Going to jump into the final DLC of AC:Valhalla.

[Bloodporne]

Replaying Castlevania: SotN, the "Requiem..." PSN version. Weird to hear it with different voice acting than the PS1 original but anyway. Still love the game as much as always. 

[Keyser_Soze]

I tried playing Hello Neighbor for that Microsoft Rewards quest and the game gave me some very strong motion sickness.

On top of that I really didn't enjoy my time with it. The game kind of dumps you into the world and you have to figure out what to do, and on top of it making me feel bad I couldn't figure out what to do so I uninstalled it.

I looked up a walkthrough afterward and I was sorta on the right track but the game's controls are so bad it's probably something I would have never done.

[dualhunter]

Started Yoku's Island Express. Then I restarted it because I messed up the juicing game.

[Remarkableriots]

Started playing Destroy All Humans! Remake.

[gamer.tv]

On the bus so grabbed my DS. Sadly, my SD card thingy is broken so I can’t add any new games, but played a bit of Inside Bowser’s Inside Story which was OK. I’ll grab a new one and be thoroughly unoriginal and add the general consensus for the top 20 games or so, then I might play it a bit more…

[Bloodporne]

I finally gave Titanfall 2 a proper try and man, this game is really good. 

[osxmatt]

Picked up Divinity II on Steam sale this morning, so I'll be diving in to that this weekend.

 

Played the first Divinity and loved it.
