WHAT VIDEOGAMES ARE YOU PLAYING RIGHT NOW?

X-Com, AKA "Rookie, please don't miss that point blank shot". Really fun, more streamlined than the other ones I played, so it didn't feel too overwhelming juggling resources.

I'm trying out Dishonored right now. I'd like to assassinate people more, but then a few seconds later rat swarms always come out of nowhere when I do it seems. :/

I've played both high chaos and low chaos playthroughs. They require fairly different styles. I recommend setting your heart on one, going for it, and then playing through again the other way around.

Ok. Will do.

The Last of Us, bought a PS3 just to try it out.. One of the best games I've played in my life, just awe inspiring.

It's so fun and so sad, and a bit difficult at times without a shiv or a brick.

Just playing Diablo 2 and Pokemon Black 2 right now.

Wanted to give D3 another try to see if anything changed since I stopped playing (few weeks after release)... still boring, shallow, and filled with technical issues, gave up after I finished Act1 with a new character, game like this just won't do for my ARPG cravings. And after listening to the devs talking about the new Itemization 2.0 patch, I have no hope for this game's future, the developers aren't even trying to make any awesome changes, just a tweak here and there...they don't seem enthusiastic about their game at all. I doubt that the expansion will change things... there is a sliver of hope in me that it will be awesome and repair all that is broken, but I'm not holding my breath. /rant

Diablo 2 on the other hand, started a new character (planned to be a conviction avenger), and I am having fun, just finishing Act2. It is one of those games that I can just fire up and always have fun with it, definitely still my most favourite/most played game of all time.

Also got Heart of the Swarm, had lots of fun with the campaign, but I just can't seem to enjoy the multiplayer (the reason why I bought it in the first place). Way too stressful, too many things to keep track of, weird matchmaking. Real-time strategy games were never my forte, I don't know what I was thinking. Turn-based all the way for me.

WWE '13.

I love it so much. Have put so much time into it it's nuts. The customization is the best part.

I've been playing newer WWE games at my brothers'. They're really fun actually. I think many people stray away from them because WWE. For the record I haven't followed WWE since it still was WWF so it certainly doesn't require any background knowledge.

Working my way through Darkstone on the PS1 for the...lost count of how many times I've played it, but yeah. While it's essentially like Diablo, or heck even Gauntlet, the game's still pretty damn fun and even one of my all-time favorites~ :3

This had my interest. Does it have a multiplayer? I'm liking old PS1 games for some odd reason and would be interested in additions to my library.


Myself, I was playing The Warriors again. It's really awesome game and I feel it's very under-appreciated. Hidden gem of PS2 era. I think it's closest to beat em' ups of olden days with some GTA-esque twists. Yesterday a group of 15 from Baseball Furies (they dress up in baseball uniforms, wear clown makeup and have this expressionless faces) chased me through baseball field. I was first running in the wrong direction so they caught me up. I busted their faces on concrete and made a few homeruns with their own baseball bats before making my escape :)

That's a shame.. Diablo 1 on PS1 actually got a splitscreen for co-op. That's pretty cool. I'll remember the name Darkstone if i happen to run into it in some online auction.

Finished up Darkstone...now I'm caught between five games that I want to play next: Resident Evil: Code Veronica(X), Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, and Dragon Valor...oh the choices! x-x

Having a blast with SimCity 4 after it was on Steam DIRT CHEAP for the summer sale. I really missed playing this game! It's easily my favourite game in the series (have not touched the new SimCity because I boycott all new games with EA's name on them), and this is the first time I've ever added any mods to the game.

Xenosaga Episode 1
Persona 4
Tales of The Abyss

and bunch of others I cant remember right now

Classic Command and Conquer > newer Command and Conquer, lol though personally I'd favor Red Alert('97) over the original(because the AI in it pissed me off to no end, plus there's no Skirmish mode~) :D

Oh, and I also decided on Dragon Valor; neat dragon slaying 3D action game split into several varying chapters(three different paths for those actually) on the PS1 that was sadly overlooked.

Because it is a giant pile of horrible shit also works!



This is path finding you'd find in the Age of Enlightenment Ultima games which are older than I am.
