Inspired by the "What are you reading right now" sticky I figured the Video Games subforum could definately use one. So what are you playing right now and how do you like it?

I'm playing, or should say was playing because I just beat it, Brutal Legend. As a Metalhead I loved it, such a fantastic game world. However it contains an RTS game within it that uses 3rd person perspective that doesn't quite work. I'm sure that turns a lot of people off. I'll give 'em points for trying to be original though.

Minecraft - 80%
World of Tanks - 15%
COD:BO - 5%

Minecraft is insanely addictive as there's always some mega project idea bouncing around in your head. I really wanna figure out how to make a damn and create an artificial lake at some point. You can literally do as you please in the game and the most exciting part is that it's still in Beta so who knows what more is to come between now and release.

World of Tanks - Is great. Just the right mix of historical accuracy but balance to make for a great game. It has it's issues, mostly in the realm of matchmaking, but it's just great fun and best of all its free.

COD:BO - I like it, I do. It looks great, it's fun to play, and I don't get the feeling that I'm totally useless without weapon X or cheap trick Y. The downside. It's still just a FPS without adding much to the genre.

How about games I should be playing?

- ME2 (halfway through PS3 playthrough)
- Dead Space (still on level 2!)
- Dead Space 2 (haven't even put it in my PS3 yet!)
- Red Alert 3 (did some tutorials)

I think I am subconsciously giving myself reasons to avoid DA2 . . .

Dead Space also on my "To Play" list. Everytime something about it comes up I try to avert my eyes and cover my ears to maintain the surprise but I think too much has gotten through especially with Dead Space 2 coming out.

But only if the terrible controls and complete lack of atmosphere don't get there first.

Seriosuly I know that awful controls are a bit of a staple for "horror" games (I'm looking at you Resident Evil) but Dead Space realy does feel terrible. Then there's the complete generic blandness of it, I've never played anything so dull to walk through, what frights are in the game are just shock not proper horror.

Then again I'm a fan of the Stalker series so anything will suffer compared to constant that series trademark of soul crushing dread mixed with brief moments of absolute terror.

-Minecraft. I'm sorry, but being able to build anything, anywhere is just boss.

-Cities XL 2011 (with the GEM unlocker mod - hurray Ski/Beach Resorts!)

-Trying to force myself to suffer through the Dead Space snoozefest, but... Meh.

-Just finished Metro 2033 from the Homefront preorder, which wasn't bad for a game based on a book. I really liked the way that ghosts worked in it, how you needed a flashlight to see their shadows so that you didn't walk into them.

-Also waiting until Summer to get back into ME2 so that I don't have to wait forever for more Shepard Epicness.

And just blew $200 on 2 copies of Duke Nukem Balls of Steel Edition - One for me and one for a buddy, whose birthday happens to fall on the release day

For me it's kind of a huge, HUGE put off that your starting weapon is practically the best gun in the game. And the general rules of predicting Necromorph ambushes? "Does the room have vents, scattered undamaged corpses, large open areas, or dead Necromorphs that you didn't kill? Ambush!"

After a while it gets so easy to tell when/where you're going to get attacked that calling Dead Space a survival horror game, and not simply a sci-fi adventure or adventure horror game, is insulting to the survival horror genre. There's less survival and more "AH-HAHAHA! TAKE PLASMA CUTTER FUGLY! YOU WANT SOME!? HOW 'BOUT YOU! BOOM! HEADSHOT!"

Eh, fair enough, I suppose it is a sinking ship, seeing as it has little to no support anyway... just wanted to stick around with it for a while. Should have clarified a couple meant 1-2, my bad.

I mean, I know T4 is a major problem, but the game seems solid to me, I mean, it'll die due to lack of support, but playing through T1-T2 seemed good enough...

Deadspace 2 is an excellent game, as was the first, at least in my opinion. There is a demo, so download it and find out if YOU like it before buying it. However, it isn't as much a horror game as a stressful game; it is much better at inducing stress than horror anyway, especially on harder difficulties.

-Going through Deadspace 2 again on Zealot difficulty

-Lots of DoW2: Retribution beta multiplayer, and of course my collectors edition is on order

-some WoW raiding, meh

Looking forward to Space Marine, and DoW2:Retribution single player campaigns. Need to download the demo for Dragon Age 2 as well.

Oh, and playing Photoshop every night as well.

I see a lot of people throwing down like 6 games. You guys really play 6 games at once? I usually just play 1-2 straight through until I beat it.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

Kinda a weird story behind this one. Got it for $8 used at Electronics Boutique (That's Canadian for Gamestop) and used one of those gift cards they give you for trade-ins that had a $1.50 on it. It only had $1.50 on it because EB is the devil and gives horrible trade in values and because they're the devil http://ps3.ign.com/articles/115/1152196p1.html. Shouldn't have actually made the trade but it was for a game that is probably the best simulator of what its actually like to be a field commander by which I mean extremely fustrating and confusing: End War.
Anyways, when I opened up RSV2 I was surprised to find out they had inadvertendly put another Tom Clancy game in there in addition to RSV2: my frikkin End War! So I got my End War back with the card that I got for End War. Strange but true.

I'm on Mass Effect 2 now .. will be doing Dragon Age 2 next week.

I got ME2 now because I was under the impression that 3 was "coming soon", but apparently it's more like next xmas :(

I can't play more than 1 game at a time either. I gotta focus on one or I'll never finish em.

That's waht all hte pokemon games ever were: Red and Blue only had different pokemon in very specific areas, other than that, exactly the same game.


Anyway, I am playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent Demo. Can't decide if I want to buy it or not.

Aye, with Pokemon its on purpose to promote the trading aspect of the game, previous to the wireless trading of current DS machines, it was wired. So its always been part of it.

I don't see that as money grubbing, I see it as one of the points of the franchise. If you are not in the games target age bracket, and feel hanging out by school gates asking the passing kids 'do you want to trade Pokemanz' is a little dodgy.
Then you can always buy both and trade off against yourself, it's what I've done in the past.

Surprisingly enough I'm playing an FB game called Project Legacy which is actually a tie-in to Assassin's Creed. As you play it you actually get bonuses that apply to the real game. Technology! The future is now! I never thought I'd play a FB game again but I must admit this one is well done.
Brotherhood itself is quite good. At first I though it would just be like a big expansion but it has this whole other concept that involves building a brotherhood of assassins and sending them on missions around the world. That and the fact they've let their imaginations run wild with Leonardo's crazy inventions has made it good enough to distinguish itself from its already great predecessor.

Finished ME2 for the second time just a couple of nights ago.

Although I have Lego Star Wars 3 on preorder, so I expect I'll be playing thatby the weekend.

Oh and as always, put in the odd hour of WoW, not been playing much of late mind.

Right now working on Prototype for the PS3. I downloaded it off PSN one night when I was bored and it was cheap, it's OK but sometimes it just gets pretty frustrating and the controls can be a pain. In fact, the only real fun part is getting to see zombies destroy new york...

I need a good new game.. I want a good shooter with lots of action, but more focused on single player with a campaign that'll take like 2 weeks to get through instead of 2 nights.

Dragon Age 2. TBH, I'm suprised that I'm enjoying it as much as I am. I thought Dragon Age: Origins was an 8/10 I'd give DA2 a 8.5/10

Then I need to get around to playing some more Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

And in the future I envision myself playings lotsa Mortal Kombat 9.

CRYSIS 2: Played the first couple hours of the Campaign, aside from a short, insultingly easy, vehicle section it has been Brilliant. The only problem with it is the fact all the big franchises have such well directed cinematic set-pieces and crysis doesn't quite nail that, a shame as crytek have went for linear level design. Gameplay wise it is a return to the stealth/surprise attack style that i think the FPS perspective was made for.

FEAR 2 is pretty cool, the graphics are fairly ugly but it has plenty atmosphere and good bullet time/combat mechanics.

EDIT: I too bought prototype and i think i was fairly close to completing it (its a level where you have to chase a Massive tank but not destroy it, every time you try to hijack it a miraculous auto missile knocks you off... Cheap tricks ). I quite liked it though, some of the boss battles were BLOODY hard but you could always find some dudes to consume and regain your health, they were just about patience.

Crysis 1 is near full freedom. The levels in 2 are similar in scope to Halo reach; LOTS of options but you are still essentially 'marching forward'.

Best lighting ever for sure, Best visual filters/shaders/effects for sure. So if you like flame effects sparks, smoke etc and realistic sunlight. The frame rate is rock solid, not dipping noticably even when i was being filled with lead and greandes.


Wouldn't say the texture resolution is as sharp as unreal engine 3/killzone 3 or ID tech 5 from what i've seen. Does have a bit of Pop in but it doesn't have that hideous slow texture mapping that unreal engine 3 has. The pop in might be attributable to the fact i am playing it on 360.

I like shooters, I just don't like online shooters and it just seems like most games focus on multiplayer and make the campaign an afterthought.

I played through Borderlands twice so far, don't think want to do a 3rd. ME2 was good, but the fighting wasn't FPSy enough for me, in fact most of the fights were pretty easy. just duck, shoot, duck, shoot, rinse & repeat.

A new borderlands kinda game would be great, only with more challenging AI for the enemies. Fights became predictable.. the brute is gonna walk this way and shoot, the fanatics are gonna run at you.

In Prototype I have I think 6 missions left. I just finished the boss with the 3 different health bars, I just sprinted in circles picking up cars and tossing em at it. Took a while but it wasn't too bad. The controls just seem kinda clunky sometimes though, especially when I'm running around and I end up jumping around and all over the place instead of stopping where I want to stop

I remember that tentacle thing. I just got in the tanks each time they respawned. Took about 30 minutes lol, a war of attrition.

Borderlands was kinda unique in being an RPG length shooter. Oh btw crysis 2 appears to have the best AI i've ever seen, the arseholes kept sneaking up on me.

Well there's a ton of DLC for Borderlands. Maybe you can get your fix that way.
Yeah, Elizabeth Greene I think her name was. She and the final boss are the toughest. I also just got in tanks and blasted her but that was basically my strategy for everything in that game However, you can't do that for the final boss so maybe that's why I had trouble.

That's odd, some reviews have criticized its AI as inconsistant but whatever, reviewers are pretty hardcore gamers obviously.

Alot of games occasionally have dudes running in circles or getting snagged. It is more a problem with pathfinding (in a game with crysis 2's complex geometry it's not surprising) not the tactics. I'll admit it has happened a couple of times but it is far from game breaking.

Assassin's Creed 2. Second playthrough, I want to get a 100% trophy score (and the game/story are just fun) but the first time I missed the one where you need to kick a guard from a roof while flying around in Leonardo's flying machine. It's the only trophy that can be actually missed in the game I believe.

Just beat AC Brotherhood. I was of the opinion that this one was even better than AC2 but not after that. The final 2 sequences are all disjointed and lame. Then the finale is a platforming all the time lamenes. And then the actual ending is bad too. Also, "The Truth" segment in this one was not as interesting as the last but I guess you can't really top the last one. Still a good game overall but AC2 retains the AC crown.

It takes heavy inspiration from lovecraft and employs many of the same techniques to scare you so if you enjoy lovecraft, you will probably enjoy amnesia.

I can second that Recettear is a good game. It got a bit too repetitive for me, though. My save got corrupted or something -- can't recall what happened but I had a lot of hours put in that got wasted and had to start over. It kind of killed it for me.

It started out as an indie game in Japan and finally got translated (and amazingly localized) for the rest of us. Imagine a JRPG but instead of being the hero you're the person running the item shop, that's the best way to explain it I suppose. Don't let it's cutsey artsyle fool you, it has a metric ton of depth to it. On the surface it seems simple but there's so much content packed into it. On top of that it has a great sense of style, self awareness, and top-notch writing. And yes I'm trying to sell you this game because it freaking awesome and them small devs need the cash! One of the best games of 2010. Buy it. Now...Or else...

Or at least get the demo

Toy Soldiers.
Not the real toy soldiers that we play in Warhammer for fake wars but fake toy soldiers in a video game for a real war. Well sort of. It's like a crazy Wild, Wild West version of WWI but still best WWI game I've played.

Oh yeah, very late! I actually had no idea that the game existed until a fellow dakkite informed me about it. It never came out in the states and when I did some research on emulators years ago, it was solely to play my old favorites.

WoW, wasn't planning on playing much this week, that was until I went to hand in my 100 Noblegarden choc eggs for the spell book Polymorph Rabbit this morning, and discovered my lvl 26 Blood Elf Mage needs to be lvl 60.

So yep, planning on lvling like a crazy fool this week, as it ends on Sat and she needs the rabbit version. *Playing a parody of Galinda from Wicked. Yeah, thats sad, but if I wasn't doing odd things like this, I'd have probably stopped playing ages ago.

Just got to get Aurelia to start her Elphaba Ork Warlock at some point.

Beat Puzzle Quest and Saints Row 2. I learned they released an update that made the game harder by giving police helicopter person-seeking missiles (errr, Saints Row 2 not puzzle quest) and nearly threw it out the window because of that; . However did eventually beat it with some sticktoittiveness.

I think its funny, from what I've read, quite a few people complained about the "open-world-ness" of guerrilla, after the initial games were not open world.

Now of course, all the people who like the open-world are complaining this is too linear.

The demo is out on 360, and I found it to be pretty enjoyable. The multiplayer has a horde mode, where you can destroy/rebuild the map as you play, so I am really looking forward to what you can do in that.

Also, the exo-suit is basically terminator armor, which is cool

I have completed MW1 on hardened, MW2 on Veteran(1000G aswell), WAW on the one below hardened(never liked WAW tbh).

So I have completed most of them on a decent difficulty and the hardest so far has been MW1.

The funny thing is that im not really an FPS player, im more at home playing Oblivion and the likes.

I have completed ALL CoD on veteran. You should try the first part - it's the most difficult to finish ( mainly because there are health bars ).

Generally having mixed feelings for FFXIII. The combat system makes a bad first impression but actually ends up being the best part. Great graphics of course. Story is pretty good I guess but I'm definitely getting tired of going down this tube, pretty though it may be.
It makes you realize how important an open world is in an rpg. You go where you want to go because of a purpose you've come up with. With this linear approach you just go - and hope the next cinema is coming up soon. It just makes the combat more tedious some how.

My comment to FF XIII - i was impressed by the grafics, but quite let down by the game itself. The linear levels of fight, watch cut scene, repeat ... turned me away from the game after a mere 3-5 hours (almost nothing for a Final Fantasy game)

Finally got around to playing my copy of Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions that I got for Christmas. I have to say, playing as Spiderman Noir is by far the best, as it is in a similar vein to Batman: Arkham Asylum. The only way to survive is to sneak around, sneak up on your opponents and silently take them down. This gameplay is different from all of the other Spideys, who act similarly.

Amazing gameplay, and one of the better Spidey games yet (even though the story is nothing fantastic, it's not bad) There are three acts to it, and depending on how long you take (and how often you die) each act is about 2-3 hours in length. I'm a little more than 50% through it (about 3 hours an act) and it's been about 6 hours of gameplay so far.

Well I finally got around to purchasing "Dawn of War 2: Retribution" and I've been spreading Chaos corruption like a good little Chaos Space Marine.

I also finally started playing "Amnesia: The Dark Descent", which I purchased many moons ago but never got a chance play. I don't mean to boast but I hardly get scared, especially from movies and games, but this one is giving me the chills!

Next up I purchased "The Next BIG Thing!" it's a charming adventure game from a spanish developer, with some of the best writing, voice-work, animations, and art style I have ever seen in a game. I mean I HATE adventure games and I think this is swell.

Lastly I finally got "Shogun 2: Total War". Let's see I like 1000's of dudes cutting each other in the face, and I have one of my majors in Asian Culture and languages (with quite a bit of focus on Japanese). So if you couldn't figure it out already this game was perfect for me!

Anyway I highly recommend all these games, especially "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" and "The Next BIG Thing", mostly because they are from small developers that need your money! The kind of games they make will soon disappear if you don't give them your business! Support these guys!

If I had to choose to lose ALL of my games except for two...I'd keep MK9 and Borderlands. No question, no hesitation.

Have you played Champions of Norrath at all? Or DC heroes? They're both made by Snowblind as well, and I feel are better games. Champions is a LOT longer...and has TONS of replayability. The second one wasn't as good, but the first CoN was amazing. DC heroes was also quite fun, and I'm more of a Marvel guy, but DC Heroes was leaps and bounds better than X-men Legends, MUA, etc. Snowblind makes all-around great games, and I have every single one-including part two of Dark Alliance which is impossible to find for less than 50 bucks now (last year anyway). I liked Dark Alliance, but CoN is much better and is cheap. It's available on PS2 only though, as far as I know.

Otherwise it doesn't fit.

Yes, it happens all of the time in the game. I believe its called "player's venting frustration when they get killed" and it varies by player which was a good bit of work by the Rockstar team to make the game as individualistic as possible.

I know there's a lot of haters out there, but that game is fun!

Duke Nukem forever.

For those who are wondering how it is...

The shooter aspect isn't as good, and the graphics are sub par to say the least. However the whole atmosphere is great. It also has quite a lot of puzzly gameplay (HL2 like physics usage).

Finally, Finally beat Final Fantasy XIII. There's so many pros and cons that even though they are big pros and cons it all just ends up evening out. I'll give 'er a 3.5/5.

Just got LA Noire last night, liking it so far.. don't know what to make of the facial expressions thing.. it's great that they're able to do that, but half the time they look creepy, like demons about to possess your soul. And the lead hero guy is kinda annoying, with his whole grumpy cop routine whenever you think someone is lying. He's not anywhere near as likable as John Marston was in Red Dead Redemption.

Playing a lot of Dynasty Warriors 7 now I've figured out how to unlock characters in Conquest mode.

Also got the download pack with the re-skinned Yellow Turbans and Hu Luo Gate levels from Dynasty Warriors 2. It's bizarre and equally awesome to be running potentially two of the best levels Koei ever did on the latest game.

I'm hoping more DLC goes this way, some DW3 levels wouldn't go amiss either.

Me too. Except mine is like a 3 year break. I think it's the skyrim hype that's makIng me want to go back.
However got distracted by free Homefront multiplayer demo. I think the Homefront guys are worried the community is dwindling or something because this isn't a timed demo so pretty much a free game right now for XBLA. it's pretty good the use of vehicles distinguishes it from CoD.

Aye, third here, I have alot of achievements staring back at me that need unlocking, my growing interest in Skyrim and lack of a WoW sub for the first time in two years (last time was a month out to try WaR) means I might get it done.

Think I might start a new character though, no idea what I was doing with my previous ones, will need to look.

Wiped all my Oblivion saves this morning and started fresh, I could have lucked through, but my highest character was only lvl 12 anyways.

Gone back to a Dark Elf Mage/Warrior combo class. Managed to get to where the Emperor pops his clogs before I had to dash to work. So will be continuing that later.

Just finished Fallout 3. That was one of the best gaming experiences I've had in ages. Debating whether I want to leave it on that high note or get Broken Steel/New Vegas. New Vegas sounds like it adds a lot of stuff I wouldn't be too keen on, like advanced crafting and so on.

Think I'm ready to go back to Oblivion now.

Going along with the Skyrim hype, and getting my last 4 Oblivion achievements (which means I'll actually have to complete the game for once, the most boring thing in the game imo is the main quest)

It's the same story, but they've improved the graphics, made it 3D and created a "master quest" mode that has a few extra's and they've cranked up the difficulty.

I loved the original and played it when I was a kid so I couldn't resist getting the new version, it's just me being nostalgic as much as anything else I'd recomend it to anyone though.

Master Quest was actually released a few years ago on the Gamecube, and I got the the Desert Temple with Adult Link before I gave up lol...it's waaaaay harder than the original, but totally worth the play through
