The "What Game Are You Currently Playing?" Thread

[Cas]

Far Cry Primal
I'm just taking over outposts and lighting bonfires at the moment. I've got one story mission unlocked and it's listed as very hard. I'll just unlock a few more skills and then do it. Or send in my tiger and let him do it.

Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Just defeated the boss in the Forbidden Forest/Woods. Back on the open ocean and heading toward my next destination.

Stardew Valley
Bought this earlier today, played about three hours and really enjoying it. Currently exploring the mines in hopes I'll find some cool stuff so that I can get enough resources together to build a barn.

 

[G.B]

Too many GB, way too many.

Always fancied trying it but I've only ever seen people bashing it, even those with a load of time in game.

 

[Spirederman]

Firewatch for me atm.

Really enjoying it. Have downloaded Gone Home to start next.

Also been playing the Uncharted 4 multiplayer. So much fun.

Damn this game. I'd never heard of it until yesterday... now it seems to be popping up everywhere, at it looks awesome. I'm gonna end up buying it, aren't I?

Put me off of buying it, Cas. I demand it.

Just get it. Think it's £10.99. Anyhow I'd post more but I must go play it.

NO CAS THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I WANT.

I've already gone and preordered The Division, plus I'm trying to play through Pokemon Yellow and Rise of the Tomb Raider, plus, you know, Football Manager takes up a fair bit of time. Is there time for Stardew Valley as well? Probably not. But that doesn't usually seem to stop me...

If you don't like harvest moon and that you won't like it.

Probably

Never played either.

There be the problem though old boy... I fuckin' love Harvest Moon.

So yeah. My fucking granddad died and gave me a fucking farm and now I'm fucking doing farm stuff. Cheers Cas.

 

[Techno Natch]

Was going to download it but it looks just the same as Harvest moon.

I've seen two people playing Pokemon on the train in the last week (one Yellow). With this post added to that I'm calling it some kind of trend.

You say this like it's some kind of bad thing! It's obviously very similar, hell, they've even pretty much ripped off the Harvest sprite things or whatever them little bastards are called. But there seems to be a slightly faster sense of progression here. It's different enough to keep me hooked for now.

Well they did just get released on the 3ds eshop

 

[Eski Boi]

The Division is fucking awesome

 

[saddler_andy]

The Division is fucking awesome

Yeah I am enjoying it. It is much better with a group of you.

I have always been a big fan of the Tom Clancy games.

 

[Eski Boi]

I have hit level 23 already.. oops

Yeah co-op is good fun, only been to the DZ once. Going to wait until I hit level 30

 

[saddler_andy]

Blimey I think we are all level 6.

 

[saddler_andy]

After 72+ hours I am finally getting towards the end of the game (I am level 46) I have made saves so I can do each of the endings.

So for my first story line;

Spoiler: BoS

I am VERY annoyed at this storyline.

oh look lets just rebuild Liberty Prime and follow that half way across the map, GIVE ME A BREAK

 

[Simmo]

Yep, playing The Division ( PS4 ). Lowly level 14 at moment. Not venturing into the Darkzone yet.

Loving it though

 

[Mr Elmo]

Bought Undertale

This gon' be good

 

[Blitzballer]

Broforce , got it free through my PS+ subscription. fucking awesome I might add

 

[epic73]

Feeeeefa.

 

[Eski Boi]

The Division is a great game, but I have done everything already.

Finished main story, finished all encounters and side missions, hit level 30, DZ rank level 30 ( yeah it goes up to 50 ) but there is nothing left to do.. The game mechanics and graphics are fantastic.

The two things that irritate me are, the bullet spongy bosses and the lack of things to do.

I have the season pass so that should freshen the game up.

 

[Eski Boi]

Salt and Sanctuary
- It's uber cool, 2D souls like. Similar art style as Dishwasher dead samurai but with alot of souls-esque characteristics

 

[Megaclyde]

Fire Emblem Fates
Finished Conquest and now close to finishing Birthright. Neither story is particularly great but I think I preferred Conquest overall.

 

[Oaf]

Are they even out over here yet? I don't think they're out for ages... which is a shame because I loved the last one and I have a long ass flight coming up which it'd be perfect for!

Anyways, my current GAMINGZ are:

The Division: Barely getting around to it but I like it from what I see so far. Level 13. Though I often find that I don't really know what I'm supposed to do with the game when I'm playing it. Like... do I just keep on replaying the same missions? Or doing those boring little side missions that are all the same? Not sure where the longevity lies in the game... beyond just replaying the same stuff and hoping you get nice loot.

The Dark Zone is different though. A whole lot of fun and very intense, especially when running around with good items in your bag.

Pokemon Yellow: 5 badges down. Trying to hold back on it a bit so I have something to do on above mentioned flight. Team of Charizard, Pikachu (Duh), Venusaur, Wortortle and Mew. Gary is still a douche.

Rise of the Tomb Raider: I really like it but I never find myself getting around to playing it. Again, as I keep complaining about with most games now... it's too fucking big. Too many side quests and things to do. Fuck the fuck off. I just want to stick to the story but I feel like I'll miss out on important stuff if I don't do all the side shit.

And, the game I'm addicted to the most right now:

Stardew Valley: Seriously, fuck you Cas. This one is your fault.

Also, I managed to plant a whole bunch of crops and not account for the fact that each season lasts 28 days, not like 30 or 31 as I suspected. So come the first day of summer, I had about 10k worth of dead fuckin' crops in the ground. FUUUUUUUUU....

On the plus side, I can now nearly afford a coop. EXCITING TIMES AHEAD.

 

[Megaclyde]

No they're not out in EU yet. Fates is good but I liked Awakening better, better characters and also my first FE. Also the whole Pokemon thing they did with this one having 3 different versions is kind of annoying, although it was to accommodate both new and old fans.

Very much my perspective of the Division.

What am I doing? What is there to achieve?

At least Destiny tried to have a story - however shit that was.

Gears of War
Finished act 2. Big fan of that act; I really like The Krill. They added something different to the mechanics.

Uncharted 2
Helping Tenzin/Tenzein/That guy in the hat/ save his village from Lazarevic's goons.

Stardew Valley
I can't remember what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm just messing about in the mines.

 

[Megaclyde]

Burnt out a bit on Fates atm,
Playing DMC4:SE, started the Lady/Trish playthrough 'cos I wanted to play as Trish but found Lady surprisingly fun to play. Also cheesed all the bosses with her charged up rocket launcher
