The "What Game Are You Playing?" Thread

[Bran]

Figured with the ongoing movie and TV threads, this would be a good idea too, since I often want to talk about a game but a new thread seems unnecessary.

Anyway, I recently picked up a PS4 and Playstation Plus along with it. They had some good free games on PS+, so I got Infamous: First Light for PS4 and Duke Nukem 3D and Duck Tales: Remastered for PS3. Infamous was really cool, and Duke Nukem is the same game its always been. Duck Tales is a blast, though.

Mostly, I've been having a go at Metal Gear Solid for ps1. Played MGSV: Ground Zeroes for ps4 and loved it, so I wanted to go back to the beginning. kinda blows me away how good this game is, despite being 17 years old.

What're you pricks playing?

 

[foundstarr]

I play the crap out of MAdden 15, really enjoyed UFC. Mordor is good, but for whatever reason I didn't get into it. I'm checking out first light right now because it is on Plus this month. I'm going to jump into GTA 5 at some point in the future.
I really don't get the time to game like I want, UFc was a ton of fun though. Madden rocks.

 

[Bran]

I have the UFC game, and it's plenty fun. Mordor looks like a blast, but I haven't picked it up yet.

 

[foundstarr]

Only bullshit was, I started my fighter at like 22 or 23. Had to win like 30 in a row to fight for the belt and the defended it twice and was forced to retire.

Oh it so time change the Avy Bran.

Not a chance.

Yeah the UFC game is really good. I am becoming more and more exclusive in my relationship with sports games. I really like FIFA right now.

I just bought GTA V for the Xbox One, because it's my favorite game of all time and there were just enough new features to justify me buying it for the One when I already own it for the 360.

I spend more time playing Tetris Battle on Facebook than any other video game. Being a good Tetris Battle player is an art lol.

 

[foundstarr]

Not a chance.

with everything we now know about Randy... Not a chance huh...

I play moba's mostly when I have time, DOTA 2 occasionally and HoN mostly. IT's always competitive and the trolling is beyond hilarious.

 

[Bran]

What do we "know" about Randy now? Did 30-some-odd women come out and say he raped them, or is he still a 2 division, 5 time UFC champion?

 

[Neganomics]

Also, I was creating a fighter for career mode in the UFC game and the obvious first step was to give him a sweet beard. Thing is, while I was going through hairstyles I realized that with long hair he looked a lot like Jesus. So I started my career as Jesus Christ. I wanted to nickname him "The Savior" or something along those lines, but that option wasn't available so I gave him the nickname "El Diablo", which I'm sure most of you know is Spanish for "The Devil". His entrance music is "Our God is an Awesome God" (that was actually one of the options), he has cross tattoos on his back and shins, a tattoo on his arm that says "King of Kings" and a tattoo on his chest that says "Thug Angel" (again, one of the options). He wears an American Flag mouthguard and he is a muay thai specialist.

So basically I have just been playing as Jesus and straight murdering fools with my knees and elbows.

Been playing Destiny since my brother got it for me for x-mas. Pretty cool game, wasn't what I was expecting at all. Figured it was just a typical FPS.

Also picks up GTA 5 a couple of weeks ago when it was on sale in the PSN store for $28 (plus $1M in-game online currency was included). Only played a few missions so far, but that's how I am with GTA games. I buy them, play them a couple times sporadically, and then months down the road I'll start playing it every day for a long time.

 

[Bran]

My guy's name is Fight Russo. he's got that lame eagle tattoo literally everywhere I was able to put and a grey handlebar mustache and mohawk.

I don't know if the game is broken, but fuck, knees in the clinch? that shit is murder.

 

[foundstarr]

Well it came out a few years ago he won all of his titles by sacrificing a baby from Chicago each time.

 

[Bran]

yeah, but those babies had Indiana parents, so it had to be done.

I finally got on to playing the PS4 and XBOX One after having sat them pretty much since launch while I binged on PS3 games. The first thing I did was power through Ghosts, Battlefield 4 and Advanced Warfare. Battlefield 4 was boring as shit. Ghosts was decent and Advanced Warfare was a lot of fun.

I started Watchdogs the other day but felt underwhelmed with the first mission. I'll keep playing it BUT......

I picked up Saints Row IV: Re-Elected today for XBOX One. I'm leaning towards my XBOX One over my PS4 because of the ease of continuing game on different consoles. I can play it at home and then continue it at work because the game saves are stored in the cloud. Love that shit. I've got an XBOX One set up on my 2nd monitor so when shit's slow at my store, I can load up and have at it. I can't wait to crack the seal and see if the game is worth it. If not, I'll be back on Watch Dogs.

I've been sitting on FarCry 4, had to finish Mordor but still have DLC. I want to scoop up Lords of the Fallen on steam but fuck if I'm paying full price.

Since GTA on pc got delayed I may just scoop up GTA 5 on ps4. Really hard to replace Mordor that game was so good. I'd like to play an MMO but they're all so similar. I haven't touched Destiny and months and bought the legendary edition of that fucker too. Man I got jobbed.

 

[Dimson]

For nostalgia's sake.

 

[Kevo]

I've been playing a lot of GTA 5 latley, just running through missions with the characters. I don't know why I don't play online.

Before that I ran through The Last of Us. Great game, terrible ending.

Yeah, I saw the ending and it is pretty weak. You going to get part 2?

 

[Thamob]

Ark. Origins and COD Ghosts right now and always Golden Tee.

 

[Kevo]

Fuck yea. I loved the game play, but after everything the characters had gone through I got emotionally invested in the characters and story. Only for the ending to be like "pft fuck it". I hope in the second one she finds out the truth and splits Joel's skull.

But I hear the sequel has been put on hold, so if we do get it, it won't be for a couple years most likely.

 

[Rise]

Been playing FarCry 4 of late. Just finished the campaign missions which has a fair bit of content so you get some value from it.

Disappointed they didn't expand on the coop format they had in FarCry 3 though

 

[Dimson]

My Far Cry 3 won't load in Steam. I am not very happy about it. Can't figure out why it won't load either.

 

[sourdough]

Does it still load through Uplay?

 

[Cat--Smasher]

UFC has a regular home in my PS4 and gets played the most often.

The little lady just brought me home COD Advanced Warfare and Destiny the other day. I have started COD, mostly online multiplayer. It is much better than Ghosts. I have yet to open Destiny - was almost thinking of trading it for GTA V but hesitating because buying the game twice for PlayStation systems is a kick in the balls.

 

[nbm02ss]

Path of Exile, Arma III Battle Royale mod, and various single player games in my Steam library, that I need to finish, like Darksiders II.

 

[disposableassassin]

Finished playing through the master chief collection. Now I'm playing through metro redux. I'm just about finished with metro: Last light. Then it is on to dying light which releases this Tuesday.

Destiny is awesome - for about 12 hours. This time next year it might be worth the effort to play. There just isn't enough content.

I LOVE the game, but some of the design decisions are baffling (equipment to level up), there's pretty much no story (well, there is, it just isn't well communicated), and the content is lacking (for what is supposed to be a MMO).

 

[disposableassassin]

I do enjoy destiny but I only put it in from time to time. I never invest alot of my life in it.

 

[Dimson]

I have so many games I need to play on Steam. Stupid steam sale, lol.

 

[lordpyro]

I do enjoy destiny but I only put it in from time to time. I never invest alot of my life in it.

It's pretty much my go to game now. Ghost ruined CoD for me, even though Advanced Warfare is awesome, I just can't get back into it. Maybe when the Zombies DLC comes out.

I have invested a lot of time (172h) in Destiny, but most of it was spent doing patrols and replaying the same 4 or 5 missions for bounties.

The game has great potential, but they aren't rolling out the DLC fast enough. Now they're saying there will be two Dark Below size expansions a year and one big one that is close to the size of the base game's content. I think after Comet (the big expansion this year), the game will finally open up enough that it won't be so repetitive.

I think I may buy MCC and play though that, hopefully my boredom with Destiny will wear off. After I beat the Crota on Hard of course.
