The "What Game Are You Currently Playing?" Thread

[Oaf]

Never played a Telltale game before but I have d/l all PS+ Telltale games of the last months (Tales of the Borderlands, Game of Thrones) but not played yet. Still playing Life is strange and Until Dawn (the other PS+ games) and then Horizon Zero Dawn and still the Witcher3.
And in 2 weeks there's already 2 new ones...I can hardly keep up pace

I gave up on keeping up the pace a long time ago mate It's just not possible.

As an example of what I mean, I actually made a spreadsheet recently to gain some perspective... on it, I put every single game i own and intend to play (those on Xbox one, PS4 or Steam) as well as their average playtimes to complete them (from a website on line)... I found out that, based on these suggested times, I have a grand total of EIGHT HUNDRED AND TWENTY hours of gameplay to get through. Where the fuck am I supposed to find the time for that?!

And that's not baring in mind the fact that:

1) New games continue to be released, which will only add hours to it. And...

2) I spend most of my gaming time playing the sorts of games that you don't really complete, so they're not on the list. Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, Battlegrounds, FIFA, and other such stuff.

Like I said, impossible...

FIFA 17. I'm getting prepared for FIFA 18 release

Welcome to the forum.

Final Fantasy XII
Just reached Garif village. Enjoying it a lot so far which is surprising since I wasn't keen on it when it first launched on PS2.

Could that be because in that time we've had Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lightening Returns and a half-finished 15th installment that felt more like a Metal Gear Solid sequel than a Final Fantasy game. I didn't know what to make of XII when it came out either. Is it worth getting the remaster?

i dont think i have actually bought a game since Christmas because of the PS plus games - actually tell a lie i bought both DLC's for Witcher 3, does that count?

before that it was no mans sky at Christmas, to see what the fuss was about. next game will be FIFA 18 and any other games i either get as presents for Christmas or my birthday.

but i do know i am missing out on A LOT of games i want to play. unfortunately i dont have enough time to play games, maybe 3 or 4 hours a week? i feel sad typing that

Quite possibly, yeah.

I only played around eight hours of the PS2 release which helped my decision to buy the remaster I think. The biggest change is that there's now a 'job system' in addition to the license board. Outside of that I don't think there's anything massively different outside of some balancing and tech improvements: better load times, auto save now etc. I'd give it a go if I were you though.

Castlevania: SoTN
Finished

Resident Evil
Finished

Resident Evil 2
Only just started. Reached the police department and met Marvin...what a guy.

 

[Liverlad]

Been playing Stardew Valley, loved Harvest Moon for the snes so really wanted to play this, loving it so far, love the upgrades that make the farming less of a task.

 

[Oaf]

Fuck yeah that game. And yesterday, they officially announced the multiplayer for it is coming next year as well! Up to 4 people on the same farm and they can all do everything that the host player can do besides choosing when to go to bed or when festivals start.

I really fancy starting up a new game of that now!

 

[Liverlad]

Didn't know it had multiplayer planned ha, that should be good.

Just Cause 3 is free on ps store now, gonna try that when it's finished downloading.

 

[Cas]

Resident Evil 2
Just about to fight William Birkin on the train platform.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
I'm currently in Radiant Garden...think that's the name. Playing as Aqua and currently wondering if it'll be worth playing through with the other two characters.

Witcher 3 - still plugging away at the DLC, and i love the game so trying to drag it out for as long as possible

Until Dawn - i am scaring myself too much playing this so its a slow burner. i physically jumped and swore at a game for the first time since 1998 with Resident Evil 1 and the dogs with the bit with the wolverine jumped out of the cupboard

Life is Strange - completed the first chapter. i like it and while its basically the same as a telltale game it seems a lot fresher

Assassins creed: Freedom Cry - liberated my first plantation and not done much else. seems ok but the AC games are very similar

got Just Cause 3 downloaded too but not tried yet. PS Plus has been good to me the last few months

 

[Leewilson]

The Evil Within
As the 2nd was announced for October, thought I'd play through the first again. Had forgotten what a good game this was. Up to chapter 9 so just after half way. The opening chapters are very well paced and I really like how tense the atmosphere is. Gonna play the DLC after as well as I never did that the first time.

This is quite accurate my actual play list, too

Plus, since Monday I am now one of the "Beta Tester" of the Playstation Now Service which comes to Germany later this year (In UK it's already available). The Beta phase lasts until 23rd August and although they don't have the "Cracker" PS4 games available now I am playing the God of War 3 Remastered, The last of us (plus DLC) and some classics from PS3 like Shadow of the Collossus to see how the streaming of PS games works with my DSL (pretty fine actually)

Civ 6
Fifa 17 (prep for Fifa 18)
Elder scrolls IV Oblivion- playing bough it again as it is easily (in my opinion) better than Skyrim

That's my kind of party

Where the fuck am I supposed to find the time for that?!

Stop creating spreadsheets?

 

[Oaf]

I'm pretty sure that the 2 mins it took to put that together wouldn't have made much of a dent in my collection.

This being said, I am getting shit done as of late. Got The Wolf Among Us finished on the weekend, and now I'm getting myself through Bioshock Remastered. Which I started last year, and realized I hadn't actually played since the 11th of December...

 

[footballhead]

Thank you

 

[Oaf]

....... You're........... welcome...... ?

Birth By Sleep
Finished with Aqua. Really enjoyed this entry; I think it's probably got the best gameplay of all the KH that I've played so far. I'm gonna go through now with Terra.

 

[Dirk]

Until Dawn - i am scaring myself too much playing this so its a slow burner. i physically jumped and swore at a game for the first time since 1998 with Resident Evil 1 and the dogs with the bit with the wolverine jumped out of the cupboard

Completed it yesterday. Got only 3 of the 19 trophies (1 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze) and only 2 survived (Sam and Chris)
I got the Gold one because the wolf survived the trip through the sanitarium and not for completing the game (ok, most of the buggers died because of my false decisions but the wolf survived not because of me but more despite of me ) A bit strange to give a gold trophy for that. For completing the story I got only a silver one because I bombed them all out of the house Fucking Wendigos, scared the shit out of me

Playing it again because I didn't get all the hints and totems....ah yes and I want them all to survive too

Completed. 2nd half of the game isn't as strong as the first but still a good play.
The DLC with Kidman is different. All stealth and no guns so far. 3/4s of the way through The Assignment. Then it's The Consequence afterwards.

 

[Cas]

Sonic Mania
Just done that bit where you go really fast.

 

[Megaclyde]

Finishing up Horizon which I've enjoyed.
Finished Sniper Elite 4, an ok game but a bit overpriced IMO, bought it on an impulse.

And been getting back in Gwent these last couple of days, started playing in the big boys league (ranked) and doing ok

The only parts I didn't enjoy were the stealth parts, oh and that part where Ruvik kept popping up. Apart from that I think it's one of my favourite horror titles ever made.

I actually liked the bit where Ruvik kept popping up in the mansion. It made that area very tense.

The weakest part of the game was when you're on the bus and wading through the streets, oh and the final chapter was poor. Basically a rehash of every enemy in the game as so many games try to do.

Definite 8/8.5 out of 10 though. Hoping number 2 builds off it.

 

[Red]

Re-visiting Far Cry 4 and enjoying it.

 

[Leewilson]

Just started series 3 of Telltale's The Walking Dead. Very good first episode.

 

[Pagnell]

A combination of games.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided
Elite Dangerous
No Man's Sky (good game after the 1.3 update)
Thief (£3.99 can't complain).
Just Cause 3 (free this month on PS Plus)

 

[Pagnell]

Mankind Divided is a bit annoying. Fantastic game and down from £50 to £10. However, there is a tiny, discernable lag in the control. It makes precision control, in particularly combat, very difficult.
