What are you playing right now?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been playing a lot of Halo MCC. The last game I played was Mass Effect 3 but I couldn't get into it. I really did like the Mass Effect series though. I played through all of them.

Well it has taken me about a month, but I managed to get around to finishing the last of the Metroid Prime Triology , Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. My play time was 21 hours and 4 minutes, and I actually managed to 100% complete it, the game has a function to be able to be able to mark the maps where are items are so I know where to go to get what was left, something I think was also a part of Fusion and Zero Mission, but easier to take advantage of here.

This one actually had other human army characters, and also some other bounty hunters, which felt like something I have been waiting for some time. You don't entirely feel so alone, which goes a bit against a core theme of the games, but I think it expands where before there was not much. The hint system was particularly it was not always the same source telling you where you should go next so it felt a little more organic, it would tend to give you a general area you would need to work towards and if you seemed to be taking too long the game seemed to give you an extra hint about the actually area you likely need to go next to get there. I would say the best hints of all the games. Also expanding it was that you in general go over multiple planets, being able to utilise the ship for things which was really kind of lacking compared to the other games where it often would just be used at the end. The game kind of removes the multiple fire types of the previous games, which in essence make it less fiddly, but kind of makes up for it with an overload mode that makes you stronger while using it, but you run the risk of becoming corrupt (game over) and it takes some health to use, but it was a good change up that I did not expect to get so much use out of. missiles again were kind of not as needed, at least at this level, except when fighting a specific Metroid enemy. Overall I would say Corruption was fun. Perhaps bosses could have been a bit harder instead of mostly just a bit tricky.

So I have two games left, and I actually just ordered a preowned copy of Metroid Prime Hunters, so that is probably what I will be playing on my 3DS next, and then finish off with the infamous Other M.

In the meantime I did start playing some Fallout 3, I had been meaning to have a game with some DLC I have gotten with it, and I felt like I just needed a way to get me interested in a character. And the character I made for the game was a build of Samus Aran, a focus on Energy weapons, explosives, and science, and no charisma at all (she really does not speak. I have been having some fun with it.

Binding of Isaac again.

Had this one happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7lUZoDqLVs

It took me 5 minutes to get out of the shop after that.

Fallout : NV. At first I just wanted to listen to the radio stations; I couldn't bear the thought of actually playing this game for the millionth time. But now I am already deciding whether or not to kill Mr House, and what approach and methods I should use to wipe out Cottonwood Cove.

Euro Truck Simulator 2. It's almost always Euro Truck Simulator 2.

WELL there was going to be a bunch of Splatoon here, but I get on, set equipment since the blasted Splatfest shirt needs to be leveled up, go to get into Turf War, aaaaand.... Arowana Mall and Moray Towers. At the same time. Just. What.

OH GOOD MY TWO MOST HATED MAPS.

Okay, so let's go to the ranked and- ugh. It's splat zones again. But whatever, let's give it a go.... "ERROR: Cannot connect to partner's device" ....okay, just try that again.... "ERROR: Cannot connect to partner's device" Just.... dammit.... I.... Okay, here we go, getting into match, and I..... *sees obviously disconnected player, sees other player place beacon on spawn" .....wut. Match ends, eye twitching a bit, time to stop and do anything else..... ugh.


OKAY maybe I'll play some more Isaac. AND MURDER EVERYTHING.

Rare Replay

also finally beat Diablo III hardcore, my demon hunter is now Paragon 4 and I am LOVING adventure mode. next class planned is witch doctor ( in normal mode...1 hardcore run is enough for me )

More Isaac.

This game just continues to amaze me. The difficulty can spike REALLY far up or down without there being any bad design elements causing it, and exploiting the hell out of things.... when you can, which often requires that you actually think and figure out what items can do it and how you make it work... is intentional and also, for once, not a negative game element. In most games, exploits are bad and suggest big mistakes on the part of the devs, but... not this one.

Also: Stupidest way to defeat a boss in that game, is to stand absolutely still and not touch the controller at all. Probably about the third time or so I've taken down the final boss by doing that.

Crusader Kings II

Doom II, on the original engine. I'm stuck on Map13: Downtown. >_<

Splatoon. Did I mention how much I hate the special weapon button being on the stick?

On a side note, GATLING GUN.

Why even have other weapons when I have that? I have no answer to this question.

It's even got a splash wall.

My character's response to this weapon is pretty much the same as mine:



If she gets any more excited about this, I worry that she may simply explode.

This thing is REALLY GOOD AT DEFENSE. A number of times now, I chose a section of the map that had a fair vantage point and where I could get alot of coverage at, and just.... stayed there. Enemies kept coming, didnt really matter though. Occaisionally someone will fire an inkstrike at me; defending an area specifically seems to cause opponents to do this. Makes sense to me, I do the same if there's snipers doing that. It doesnt seem to make a difference though with this... it's just too easy to clean up the mess the strike leaves behind.
