What Are You Playing? (Summer, 2016)

Don't miss the Strawberry Moon tonight!

Hitman (PC) - I've done the first three ( four if you count the tutorial) locales and the first four Elusive Targets, though I am still working through Challenges. There are two modes I haven't touched, and the game isn't complete yet, but I still feel Ii've more than gotten my $35 worth.

Progear no Arashi (CPS2) - I'm making steady progress in this and having the board set to no continues helps fight any urge to credit feed to see what's next. I haven't settled on a character pair yet, which probably has slowed me down a little bit. Does anyone have an opinion on which are "best"?

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NES via 3DS Ambassdor Program) - I'm through two dungeons in this and thankfully have not ruined my fond memories from circa 1988. Interestingly enough, my childhood copy was an open box discount. I wonder if it was returned for its difficulty. My recent enjoyment of Akumajō Dracula II and this make me wonder if I should try similar games like Faxanadu.

I have various other stuff unfinished, but I suspect that won't change. Games either grab me and make me want to keep coming back or don't these days. I can't bring myself to force my way through anymore.

I am hoping a bunch of the VR games are on sale this week, as those are what excite me most these days.

I just started playing Gone Home. It's one of the free PSN+ games available this month on PS4.

Working through Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen and Geometry Wars Retro Evolved again.

I bought Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, mostly for the DLC I never played, but I started playing the main game again. I was disappointed a few years ago that they made TR into a mindless action game. This time, I have been enjoying more for what it is (and skipping all the cut-scenes I can).

And I just started Fallout 4 on survival.

I've been in the mood for a Metroid style game lately. I tried Shantae but didn't like how numbers fly off the enemies. I almost got Shadow Complex Remastered but I already played that (it's great).

So now I'm playing Axiom Verge. It's pretty good. I wish they went for a more 16-bit look though.

Wrapping up UC4 and playing a bunch of 2 player EDF 4.1 PS4

Yeah, this is lewd. Those maths are the code's naughty bits. They should be kept hidden under the screen and not out there in front of God and everyone else.

I've been playing the one that came with the Humble Bundle. It's a nice game.

Also been inching through DQV at bedtime.

Still working on The Dogma of Dragon: Very Dark Edition. Lots of backtracking in this game but I kinda dig it since I run into random giant monsters (that you can climb onto and hack away at).

Also Pokemon Picross!?! I got that when I accidentally got Retro City Rampage, which is not that dope. Wish I had Fightman Fore instead.

Still Overwatch. Almost exclusively. All this free time is very good for my leveling and skill.

Played some GG Xrd SIGN after watching clips from recent tournaments and my Guilty Gear team in Crusaders Quest got me in the mood. I think I've maybe just drifted off completely from 1v1 fighting games into team-based stuff, as this game is amazing but doesn't seem hold my attention for long. Still, Elphelt is a lot different than I originally thought she was, I hadn't realized before how she works with the reloading and juggling. I'm going to try and put some time into it to see if I should pick up Revelator.

Also back into Black Desert since they buffed experience rates to where grinding for combat levels was no longer tedious. I think they actually may have gone slightly overboard there, but I'm certainly enjoying it for rushing to the soft cap.

My condolences.

I just got guilty gear sign for cheap. Love this series.

Started playing fallout 4. First quest, besides being crazy fortunate that I wise up and get a gun and a safe space and find a bunch of friends during a gunfight which is kind of lame, the quest then continues with you following an npc who says "I'll take point." He immediately and reproducibly walks straight into a wrecked car in the middle of the road and gets stuck.

I mean come on. I had to spend a minute pushing him out of the way. I guess if I went far enough ahead maybe he would have warped.

This is fucking lazy. Doom ruined me.

Also carry weights and limited inventories ate just crappy design choices that add time.

It's one thing to limit weapon slots or anmo as a design choice. It's another to have a ton of loot able crap and then to make players run back and forth to their shit. I wish that would go away.

Tl:dr: nine times out of ten inventory management isn't fun.

It is only fun if you have a flying cat with infinite space

It's not for everyone but it's actually one of the things I love about Fallout 4. Being forced to constantly make choices is part of the experience for me.

I started Mirror's Edge Catalyst. It seems pretty cool so far but I'm probably not going to play through it until I'm done with Fallout 4.

I just walk really slow to the nearest town until I can sell the stuff I don't want.

It would be really nice if skyrim was more gradual with the impact of weight.

I put Freekstyle on demo the other day because I used to love it. Just tried playing it, and holy fuck at the rubber band AI. I was completely horrible, it took me forever to finish the first lap because I kept fucking up on landing tricks and shit. Yet by the end of the third lap, everyone was bunched in front of me and I easily passed them to come in first.
Still a fun game though.

Burnout Revenge.

I'm pretty sure Takedown is the best in the series, but I don't have an OldBox anymore, and can't imagine getting one at this point. Until I can emulate it on my Mac, this is as good as it gets.

OK, lol... this is actually kind of challenging. In Paradise you can give your opponents a nasty look and they explode into a million little pieces. I'm actually getting taken out on some of these races (road rage maybe?) If I remember correctly there is a boost trick where you can pretty much hit a wall straight on, and not crash, but I sure can't remember how to do it. Guys, the crash mode too. I did the standalone Burnout Crash, but this is way better. How have their games been getting worse?

I remember playing this online with some of you guys, and really digging it. Doritos Obstacle Runner is still the best time I've had online, GTAV is 2nd, but this might be 3rd place.

Just letting you know... this game is available from your friendly neighborhood SSJN for a more than reasonable price. I'm sincerely hoping that you guys are doing most, if not all or your purchasing through him. If not, wtf...

I'm doing a 10 CHA starting build on Fallout 4.
I sniped all the dudes out of the Corvega plant right after I finished the first mission, then ran in with no power armor and murdered everyone. I think I was way underleveled for that but sniping is legit....I do love how you can tackle this stuff in weird orders.

The Diablo 3 endgame stuff seems like a drag, so I finally hit that Close Application box (a great deal of Adventure Mode progress is reset if you end your game), popped it out, and tried Doom with the half hour or so I had to kill before dinner.

I think we're going to get along just fine.

played some sonic lost world

I'm not sure why this did poorly. It is a beautiful game. And there are a ton of sonic 2 and 1 references. There is even a refernece to Mickey Mouse and the castle of illusion with a candy level.

the controls can be a bit sluggish sometimes and I don't care anything about the story

Going to finally finish dragon age inq.
Dark souls 3

Serious Sam HD The First Encounter (PC):

Playing on Hard. Though I cheesed out the Marsh Hopper boss room at Oasis with a grenade jump and rained down firepower on them from above, it got done. If you stay on the ground, this is one of the hardest SS battles... ever. After that the next couple levels looked like cake in comparison. Ten hits from the Marsh Hoppers will KTFO you, but that's not hard for them to do when there are so many at once.

IMO the frog room looks like it could be easier on Serious difficulty because you get a max of 999 tommy gun bullets (on Hard it's 500).

Just put an hour or so into Submerged.
I like it!
But it's not without dumb stuff to remind you you're playing a video game. Backstory is relayed via simple pictures. The character(s) speak some crazy language. But then you talk to yourself in English. Make up your mind! Am I the character? If so, why would I not be able to understand the language I'm speaking. If I'm not the character and just an observer, why bother with English instructions? The pictoral narrative device is already in play, so why not just run with it?
The very first thing you need to do is find something to stop your companion's bleeding. You're wearing an extremely long scarf...But that's not acceptable! The game pans to a nearby building with some flag or tapestry hanging off it. I thought it was telling me I needed that specific fabric. See? stupid game stuff. (as it turns out, the fabric is just an indication that there is a supply box there). So instead of saying I need to stop the bleeding, why not say I need to find some medical supplies or whatever?
Still, I like the music and the assassin creed/ Uncharted- like climbing mechanics. Seems well worth the few bucks I paid. Think the sale ends tomorrow.
edit: yeah, it's $4 until tomorrow's psn update.

About to start The Witness with my wife.

Witcher 3... haven't played since September, where I stopped at level 4 after 12 hours. Not quite sure what is that bugs me about this game as it's seemingly got everything I want from an RPG. Giving it another go.

I'm in the same boat. I loved Skyrim, played lots of hours but I can't seem to get into The Witcher 3. I guess I don't like the UI of the game. I've been trying to like it this summer too on and off.

It's the movement and the combat that stops me from really getting into Witcher 3. I finished the story but I had to force myself to play it.

I just picked up where I left off in Bioshock Infinite. I loaded up my save data and was surprised to see I hadn't played it since last June. Anyway, I think I'm pretty far into the game, but I haven't upgraded anything because there's barely any money around and everything is expensive. I don't know if I'm playing the game wrong or what, but it hasn't held me back.

I don't remember running into money issues at Infinite. The game seems easy, I barely died in it.

Code Name S.T.E.A.M. - This game is a lot of fun, glad I picked it up for $10. I am not too good at it as I usually die in my first try in a new map.

I tried to give it a go last weekend. I played for about an hour and turned it off. I'm currently at level 6.

I've been working in Houston since yesterday. I busted out the old PSP in the motel room, to play a little bit of Star Trek Tactical Assualt. I must have played for about an hour and a half before giving up on the last battle. I was afraid that I might break the right shoulder button with this game.

This thread could make you lose your faith in humanity.

Yeah, I can't even fathom apathy towards TW3. It's pretty much the perfect RPG.

I've noticed that you either love the Witcher series or you can't stand it. For me things just feel wrong in the game, like it's made for left handed people or something.

I'm left handed and I just don't feel an urge to play it for more than an hour at a time. I think it's all the side missions and constant riding around on the horse that just kind of leaves me not very interested Maybe if the scenery was a little more interesting.

Believe me, I want to like and support a game that is drm free and has a lot of production value. I'll keep trying, with the hope that the game opens up more with higher player levels.

I don't ACTUALLY mean its designed for left handed people.

I figured that.

I thought that maybe you were referring to left handed people being more inclined to the arts. That there might be some kind of appeal on that level.

Ah. No. More like if you were to go into a house where electrical outlets are 3 inches from the top of the wall instead of the floor, or the door handles are all in the middle of the door. It just works wrong. For me.

Probably a dumbass question, but did you ever try it with the improved control scheme they patched in after release? Or is the issue larger than that?

Serious Sam HD: The 2nd Encounter (PC):

After maybe a dozen tries, got past a particularly rough section of The Pit with some "dangerous forces", and full of Kleer Skeletons & Kamikazes. High wind blows Sam and the enemy around during the battle, sending the latter flying through the air.

I didn't buy it on release I got it a little later during a steam sale, so probably.

Even better.

Monster Monpiece

This deserves much better than the 4.9 it received from IGN, 4.9 being .9 more than the number of times "core" appears in the review. Picture a simplified Hearthstone with three lanes between you and your opponent instead of one big one and the usual Compile Heart ladies instead of skellingtons and dorfs and that's pretty much the game. Though I'd been skipping the dialogue, the game seemed really cute and sweet. Then it remembered it was inside of a Playstation Vita and introduced a card-upgrading mechanic where you spend "Rub Points" to I don't think I need to finish this sentence.

It's just lane defense likes Plants vs Zombies and Heavenstrike Rivals. Don't need to drag Hearthstone over here.

IGN even fucked up the review in the first 6 words

"PlayStation Vita is a great device"

Maybe they used it in a pejorative sense.

I recognize some of these words.

Well, that's the end of that. Though I clicked "Save" dozens of times when editing my deck and opening packs, that "Save" doesn't actually save your progress, turns out; it only saves changes to your deck and card stock. Of course, progress doesn't auto-save because it's 1998, even though "Saving" flashes in the upper right corner after every single conversation. That "Saving" as far as I can tell, is saving absolutely nothing. To actually save your game, there's another "Save" in the System menu for which there's no on-screen icon. You press start on the world map to access it. So that's three hours of progress gone. This may actually be the worst design choice of all time.

I wish there were a way I could sell this to KoF.

Games I recently tried playing:

Tomb Raider D.E.
I first attempted this game a few years ago on my PC. Must have come in a bundle or something. Anyway, it and my graphics card (not sure if it was still a 460 or the 670 ftw at this point) didn't seem to get along. Lots of graphics glitches. Had an Xbox One traded in the other day and used this to test it. I like the idea of a series ripping off the rip off that originally ripped it off. I'm sure that line of thinking is wholly original and hasn't ever been offered before. You're welcome. Anyway, made it to the first QTE, and died. Several times! Maybe it's because I don't play a lot of games with QTE (because I hate them!), or maybe it's because the game's HUD doesn't explain itself well, but first I thought I wasn't getting the timing right, then I thought I wasn't pressing the button enough, finally I figured out I was supposed to hold the button down. Because that makes sense. Played until you get to the gate and you need to upgrade your pick axe to work a winch. On the way there, two wolves jumped me and killed me. I quickly respawned as this game is nice enough to allow, and of course since I knew they were coming since everything in this game is heavily scripted I took them out no problem on the second try. Then I reached the gate and was told to find more salvage. I walked back the way I came and two wolves jumped me and killed me. I respawned and took them out easily. Walked back towards the original camp, found a little shrine thing I missed and found the salvage I was lacking. Made my way back to the gate and two wolves jumped me and killed me. It took exactly that many instances of that happening for it to click in my head that every time I walk through this area, two wolves will be waiting to jump me and kill me. Yes, I suck at games. Yet beyond my horrible skills, the reason I kept dying is that everything is dark and I couldn't see shit. That is unless I click the button that makes everything notable in the environment shine. I really hate that mechanic. Part of me wants to feel like a smart guy and find everything on my own. But then I'm real lazy, so if a game is going to let me cheat so easily, fuck it. I'm cheating. I also hate the mechanic of "you just started playing, so you're puny and weak. You can only hold a dozen or so arrows. But we're going to carpet bomb the environment with arrows and then not allow you to pick them up. Because carrying arrows is so cumbersome."
End result is the game feels like a chore to play, and if I'm only doing so to get from cut scene to cut scene, I'll just watch Indiana Jones or The Mummy or something.

Stories: Can't be bothered to look up or remember the subtitle
Free* this month on PS+. The waaayyyyy zoomed out overhead camera and simple graphics did nothing to draw me in, but it seemed like a run around hack and slash. I like run around hack and slash. The dumb tutorial introduction pushed me away even further. There are four face buttons. I'm pretty sure I can figure out which button attacks and so on just by...pushing a button. I'd like it if games would stop thinking their game is everyone's first game. The "first level is a tutorial" trope needs to go. I much prefer games use the loading screen as a way to tell you what button does what. That was another nit pick. For as little as it seems is going on in this game, the load times were really long. But whatevs. Cutesy hack and slash. Get over yourself. But then there's the most disappointing part of the game. Someone played Bastion and said, hey, I can write dialog. I'm going to copy that narration gimmick. But that person can't write good dialog. Played the game for 20 minutes, had enough, deleted.

I think I'm ready for Uncharted 3 now. Hopefully I don't have to watch Nathan get crushed by the same rock or get his throat ripped out over and over. If so, then I guess I won't stick with it either. I'm really over the gratuitous violence and gore in games.

I lied, I'm trying Song of The Deep instead.
I like that she can build a submarine out of scrap, but the house has a leaky roof.
Video games.

Priorities man. Subs are important.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst - I have played a good chunk into this and I'm happy with it as a sequel. The platforming and atmosphere I loved from the first game are still there, and the open world design makes it different enough. The downside to making Mirror's Edge open world is that everything in the background is so similar looking. In other open world games, it's fun to look in the distance to explore new types of terrain but in this game you don't get that feeling so much.

Star Fox: Guard - I wasn't planning on buying this separate from Zero but I found it cheap on its own. I'm not usually into tower defense games but I'm quite liking the arcade-y design of this one.

I played through Double Dragon II last night. The last boss kicked my sorry ass :(

Star Wars: Battlefront.

I really like it! It's at least as much fun as the first one. Diggin' on some of the slower firing longer range weapons. I just found my headset so I can play with people now.

Sidenote: what's the correct loadout to stop an AT-ST walker as fast as possible? The ion shot is GREAT at taking out turrets but PANTS at taking out the walkers. In general I can't really figure out how to beat the walkers as rebels, but I definitely need to set up a loadout just for walker assaults.

If any trend in videogames needs to die it should be mandatory tutorials. You ONLY get a pass if it's cleverly presented/hidden behind what appears to be organic gameplay.

The worst is when buttons are straight up disabled until you checkpoint whatever tutorial thing you have to go through.

People have been doing this for a while now. Just map a button to bring up a layout/guide and let us fucking play jesus christ. Every single game does tutorials now.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - not quite as good as Trails in the Sky, but I'm 77 hours in and hopefully closing in on the end and am still quite enjoying myself. I'm surprised that Falcom skipped on some of the attention to detail that made TitS so good. When every single NPC in that game had a name and ongoing activities, why did they decide to give so many of the Thors students generic "Male Student" and "Female Student" titles? It's pretty obvious that some of them are consistently the same person, so why skip that little extra step to make them unique? I'm also not quite as fond of the free movement battle system, especially when it comes to positioning characters for AoE spell effects. With the tile-based setup, I never had to worry about whether my party members were a couple of magic pixels out of range, but now I have to be much more cautious and conservative with spacing them out if I want to get everyone healed or buffed.

Guardians / Denjin Makai II - I got a supergun and this was my first PCB purchase. It's definitely my favourite arcade beat-em-up. You have a character count and move list that's out of a fighting game. There's definitely a distinct tier list for characters (with Girulian at the top) but all eight of them play so differently and are so much fun that I'm definitely going to try to 1CC every route with every character. One interesting thing I noticed as I'm getting better at it is the presence of a rank system. You get more enemies and stronger ones if you're doing really well. Probably something to consider if I ever try to speedrun it (though right now I'm just focused on a 1CC).

Splatoon - Getting back into it in anticipation of the final splatfest. Since I tend to not play any game for a lengthy period, I still really like how I'm only committed to 3 minutes at a time. I'm glad the Callie and Marie amiibos give the plaza the concert setup, because that atmosphere is actually my favourite thing about splatfests.

Shot the best round at US Canyon course with a -9 in Neo Turf Master (Normal difficulty). 3 more courses to go.

I wanted to do a conversion 10 years ago, but never got around to it. I have converted Money Idol Exchanger and Super Dodge Ball.

Finally started Uncharted 3. Do we really not have a thread for it?
Just made it to France. I could seriously spend all day just looking at the environments. The fidelity is amazing.
Still not a fan of the combat though.

Though I find that almost impossible to believe, I can't find it either.

I got the FF X|X-2 Remaster and started X, a game I've called one of my favorites. This game is totally devoid of pathos so far. It opens with Tidus witnessing the Apocalypse and being reborn, alone, into an alien place full of relics and monsters. He barely escapes death a number of times. When he finally finds solid ground, the first thing he does is playfully throw himself on it and say "OH MAN I SURE AM HUNGRY." The fuck? It's not quite what's-her-name telling Hope to cheer up, grumpy face! moments after he watches his mom die in the beginning of XIII, but it's not far off in terms of tone-plot mismatch.

That it's in direct competition with DQV right now, one of the best written, tonally and thematically cohesive JRPGs ever, is doing it no favors.

FFX is awesome, but Tidus.... yah not so much.

I almost hate being brought to new locations in these games, because I know they're going to be destroyed by the time I leave. Seems like if Nathan Drake had any affinity towards the past and the importance of historical sites, he'd keep his ass home. He's like a black cloud.
I wonder if the artists feel bummed about creating such lavishly detailed environments, spending hours toiling away on texures and shit, knowing they're going to be turned into rubble 20 minutes after the player encounters them.

No.

Gears of War is interesting, I believe they made a nice world and then destroyed it themselves, essentially doing things twice anyway.

Arrived in Yemen, holy shit I just LOL'ed at the hand holding scene. The body movements, facial expressions, and subtlety of the scene were fucking perfect. David Cage could learn something from these guys.

So, I decided to play the Witcher 3 for about 2 or so hours on Friday night. I was starting to get into the game a little more, and was planning to play some more this weekend. Then Windows 10 happened. I lost my game save when I had to do a clean install of Windows 10 on the boot drive.

Hitman (PC) - I put a cap in Gary Busey's ass yesterday, getting me to 7/7 on Elusive Targets. Unfortunately, I looked through some menus afterward and realized there were additional challenges for a couple of them that I missed. While disappointing, I can't hold free extra content against them, and I like the one and done model; I just wish I knew those challenges existed. On the up side, Taito Eidos also added new bonus content to Sapienza and Marrakesh in the form of additional targets and altered layouts. For example, the Italian one turns the town square into a movie set. There are still Thai, American, and Japanese settings coming. Maybe someday more people will figure out how much better this series is than Assassin's Creed and that this is one of the best entries in it.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE (Wii U) - I finished Chapter 4 at just about the 40 hour mark. I've continued to do all the Side Missions and Requests plus ensuring I get all the Unities, so I'm sure it can be done quicker. The boss at the end of Chapter 4 is the first trouble I've had. It's a reasonably complicated fight, and I think I started out under-leveled, which is a bad combination. The game continues to be better than it has any business being with the theme and story. I'd love to see the best parts of this move over to Persona 5, which will obviously solve the weaknesses almost by definition.

HUH?
If by doing all the extra stuff you're still under leveled when you face a boss, eff that game.

It wasn't by much, and there was a meta puzzle in the dungeon that I solved quicker than I suspect was intended, so I skipped some grinding there.

Got back into wow. The new patch and upcoming
Xpac got me going again. The changes to all the classes are nice. Its evem taking time away from MHGen.

Picked up where I left off long ago in Project X Zone, somewhere in the chapter 24 region. I still really like this game, it's just that it takes so long to get through each series of increasingly long battles that I can only do one at a time really. But making awesome combos is still fun, and getting new attacks and stuff is a nice progression goal.

Ew.

I'm playing Pokemon each day, I was going to catch every Pokemon. Anybody also play can inbox exchange experiences about this game

lol.

He has an Onlive ID!!

Hyper Light Drifter. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Been playing BOI: Afterbirth most nights lately, STILL trying to get everything. Finally unlocked The Lost a few nights ago and Lillith while on vacation. Now I'm trying to do all the Challenges for the items and some are just nightmarish. 190/276 achievements. I'm going to get them.

Playing these sega gen games I got cheap.

Sonic 1 is great, but the. Cheapness of some things is annoying. Like getting caught between things and dying.

I'm not sure sonic 2 is better but I understand why people feel that way. More polish. Fewer cheap deaths. Better controls. A handful of great songs. And you can get pretty far before it gets hard.

Rystar and heady whatever look great. They almost look like 32x games.

Golden axe 3 is horrible. Espically coming from streets of rage.


Streets of rage is an interesting take on the us. What were they printing in papers in japan? Punks and bdsm and what is probably cross dressers. When was this the gang problem of the us?

They've been doing that since at least Double Dragon. Maybe The Warriors ​was released as a documentary there.

Checking google for "white gangs" turns up some interesting stuff. Apparently there were white gangs in ny. There is a doc about all the gangs called rubble kings. The photos all look like the 1980s cartoon gangs

I'm wrapping up Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction for PS3. I'm getting into this series now.

Also just got a ton of light gun stuff, so I am playing those

Don't overdo it. All these games are functionally identical.

I know it

A few years ago that put me off them, but they're mindless fun.

Oh yeah, also I am replaying the new Doom on Nightmare. I think this might be the way to play this game, because as with the other Doom games, the real key to staying alive is to get all the secrets so that you keep your armor % high.

Turned on the PS3 to set up Rock Band because the SO wants to play it.

PS3 is hot garbage.

Updates galore?

And that's why I got the new one.

Somebody hasn't seen The Gamgs of New York, the Godfather, or Rumble Fish?

I haven't turned on my ps3 in about 6 months. Should I be scared?

It's just slow as shit. The PS Store froze every time I clicked on a song to download.

By comparison Xbox 360 is still very usable.
