What Are You Playing (Winter 2012-2013 / Postapocalypse)?

[MechDeus]

Sometimes I look at my copy and think, "I should really get around to that."

Borderlands 2 - Finally finished my first story run with Maya. I then proceeded to farm the last boss a few times and got some awesome drops in preparation for the second run, which I'll get to after finishing up all the remaining side quests and DLC that I'm in the middle of. Provided I don't get distracted leveling up other characters, in any case. Steam says I've played for 82 hours and I think only about 10 hours of that is AFK time; this is definitely one of my favorite games from 2012. Certainly wasn't expecting that after the time I had with the first game. Shame that the story decided to occasionally go full retard when it wanted to be super dramatic way to have your shield magically disappear right after combat, Roland, but I liked the loop around to Fyrestone and Jack was fantastic.

Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable (PSV) - This is my newest example of how awesome it is to live in the future. Last night Mzo, SSJN, bbobb, and I were playing four-player cooperative with voice chat on a portable. I am not sure about others, but I wasn't even using a headset. The built-in mic and speakers worked great. We did, however, hit a wall where we were overwhelmed by giant robots, even on Normal. So we need to farm some new weapons.

Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational (PSV) - I've always been a fan of these arcade style golf games, whether it's Mario Golf, Neo Turfmasters, or Hot Shots. This one is very pure in that it doesn't have any RPG elements like the GBC Mario Golf, but it does the actual golf very well. I'm trying to max out my loyalty with one character at a time, so I've been sticking with the starter girl, since I liked her stats better than the guy.

Mark of the Ninja (PC) - I'm glad Josh and Glass Joe called this out in the 2012 memories thread. It's almost like two games in one, not unlike Dishonored. You can play though trying to creatively rid the levels of all guards, or you can play a perfect stealth game and not kill anyone. FirstBlood correctly identified the key to why it works: the visual prompts are nearly perfectly done. There are also scrolls to collect and challenges to complete on each level.

I bought the official "in ear headset" specially for to play with you guys.
Hence my daughter walking through the living room and asking if i am talking to myself.
As an aside, i dont like earbuds, they usually hurt my ears, but after two hours of wearing the headset, i was fine. Very comfortable and really nice sound.

Persona 4 Golden - well, I'm not sure I am playing it yet. I'm about 3 hours in and fought one battle, and was able to explore the town twice, but I couldn't do anything each time. It sure looks nice though.

Assassins Creed 3 - I just got done with Lexington & Concord. I think I'm the only one who likes this game.

Far Cry 3 - like I said in the thread, it's taken some to get going, but it's a cool game. One thing I've learned since release is that there are a bunch of hipster doofuses out there who actually think Far Cry 2 is actually good and are spending all their time complaining about how Far Cry 3 ruined it. Weird, I know.

Ooh! I'm going to try the ones that came with my iPhone. I've never used them for anything else.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3) - Everything I liked and disliked about the first game seems to have carried over, but the new coat of paint (seriously, these graphics are insane) and spectacular set pieces really enhance the experience. The writing and voice acting are noticeably improved as well. It's very easy to see why this was so critically acclaimed.

Demon's Souls (PS3) - Either Dark Souls made me a killer, or this is a way easier game. Being able to carry tons of restorative items and warp to and from the Nexus greatly reduces the tension, but of course I'm playing these games out of order. Just got to 4-2 and have had very little trouble with anything so far (even PvP has been a cakewalk). I'm surprised at how many people are still playing - I actually see more "ghosts" as I wander around than I do when I fire up Dark Souls on 360.

Have any of you ever played Die Hard for PCEngine? That's a weird game. The 1st level is strangely similar to Metal Gear NES and every other level is Ikari Warriors.

Still playing Dragon Age: Origins. Still digging the hell out of the interface and story.

Playing on Hard difficulty. It's tough! Tactically, it's extremely deep. The boss fights are really challenging. It took me a couple dozen tries to beat the boss of the Dalish Elves forest area.

I hope Bioware goes back to some version of this interface for Dragon Age III.

I'm finishing this up now too, on 360.

It really is a great game. I'm playing on Hard too, and it does force you to think tactically and use all of your abilities. The story and characters are all excellent.

I saved the Dalish Elves area for last, so that's where I am now.

If you are on 360, youve no idea what the pc people are talking about.
