What are you playing now? (besides your RM Game), Random survey Options

[MrGuy0250]

I was playing Dead Island, but I can't bear it anymore. That game was SUCH a let down for me I can't even describe it... Thank god a friend lent it to me instead of me wasting cash on it. I'll probably pick a snes/GBA game at random to emulate (unless anyone has a suggestion?) as well as replayed Castlevania: Lords of Shadow now.

Sonic Unleashed on PS3 and random demos I get from 3DS store.
CRUSH3D seems particularly good, it's terrible that the demo ends so early. ):

[Kread-EX]

Finished Katawa Shoujo last night. So now I'm resuming my aborted playthrough of Tales of Xillia. It's the second Tales game I played (the only other one being Tales of the Abyss) and while my knowledge of Japanese isn't good enough to understand everything, the game is pretty fun to play - and you can't stunlock bosses by spamming combos like in Abyss which means it's much more challenging.

I'm currently playing Eternal Sonata and Mass Effect 3

[X-M-O]

I love Eternal Sonata! One of my favourite RPGs on the 360. :3
I tried the demo for Mass Effect 3, because my brothers were so into it, but it was really short and didn't have the same feel as the older ones (not that it's bad or anything, but from the demo I'm not sure I like it as much as the first two). It's not exactly my type of game either, I'm only interested in its story, but its story has issues even in the demo and I'm not sure I care to watch my brothers play/beat the full version, lol.

Anyway, when I have time, I'm either playing Spiral Knights or I randomly pick a game out of the closet and play when I need to get my mind off of things (mostly PS2 RPGs and games on the DS). =]

[kayden997]

Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Starcraft 2

@X-M-O Spiral Knights.... What is so special about Spiral Knights?
Although I do like the game, my internet is utter shit when it comes to playing it.... I'm soo ashamed

[X-M-O]

If you play it, then you should let me know! D=
What's your in-game name? :3

"What's so special about Spiral Knights?"
- Its simplicity.
- It's visually attractive.
- The characters (costumes, etc.) are cute and fun.
- The company that makes it was bought out by SEGA (after I had already been playing for almost 2 months, but it was a good thing and nice changes have happened since then).
- It doesn't force you to play for hours a day (you can do many other things, and in fact it encourages you to only play for a short time due to it limiting you - similar to how Facebook games did, except Facebook games failed at limiting people from playing them obsessively). Note that I'm not an obsessive game player, I only play games when it suits me and when I have time; this game doesn't demand a great deal of time and is fun every time I go to play it.
- The gameplay mechanics aren't difficult to learn (it's nothing insane like "mastering the keyboard" like my brothers do in WoW) and can be customised very easily.
- If you want to play obsessively, you can, but it would cost you money. (Which is fine, because it's cheaper than spending a quarter on one of those old arcade games; if you do the maths).
- There are always lots of new things that are developed in the game, keeping it fresh.
- If you're interested in a creative story, it's there, but it doesn't force you to play the storyline (you can do "missions" if you want, but they aren't required past the first time you enter the game).
- It has a built-in monetary system that simulates supply/demand in a creative way (that I happen to use for creating in-game wealth; similar to how I invest with my father in stocks).
- It can easily be installed in minutes (with a decent connection) and it doesn't take long to receive game updates when they exist.
- The only player "ranking" system is between you and your friends (and guild mates) and isn't publicly displayed anywhere (unless players post the information up on their own). I like this feature because I really hated the Runescape listing feature where you have a "top player" that you can never possibly beat if you aren't playing the game 24/7... (And if you are, that player must stop playing altogether if you ever want to catch up.) So not having that information displayed, is great because you aren't competing with people you don't know - but if you want to compete with someone, then you just have a friendly competition with them because you can only see their progress if you're their friend.
- You can play PVP without risk of losing your "gear". (Unlike Runescape, WoW, etc. where you take unnecessary risks despite just wanting to have fun.) And there are game rewards for winning and losing PVP matches (these rewards don't require risking anything, and you can get better rewards if you bribe the in-game NPC).
- There is a mini-game that is very similar to Bomberman - and lots of fun to play - with rewards. =]
- And there are probably a few other things I'm forgetting.

Also, I think you need to reduce your graphic settings in-game if you are having latency issues. (The game itself barely requires a few kbps per second to run; which is much better than other games out there.)

[Kaust]

Just a few kbps huh? It might work here o.O
Figured it'd still require a decent internet connection since, y'know, its still online and connected to other players.
If it does work for a guy without broadband it gets major kupos kudos.

Eternal Sonata was great, the Ps3 version had a few bonus things added to it, which is always nice (though sucks for xboxers who didnt even get a patch or anything). Disappointingly linear (though there was room for some exploring in dungeons I guess) but such a great concept (and actual dedication to it), great story (one of the best endings I've seen in a game), and really just beautiful graphics. Plus I got one of those sleeve cover boxes that were all shiny and awesome and just way cooler than games without it...

[LiberalElephant]

I'm playing Portal 2 and a bit of King Arthur's Gold. Yeah.

[Yuu-Mon Musuedo]

I just downloaded a remake of my favorite 2D beat'em game of all time. Streets of Rage Remake. No joking, this is the BEST fan made free download game ever! They up the graphics quality, adding shadows and nice exploding effects. Added new stages and pathways you can take. (YOU CAN PLAY AS ADAM MORE) As well as combining three games together and forming a new storyline.

Nice unlocks such as bonus & making character, renaming, and even stage making I believe. (Still playing and trying to unlock them.) I been having a blast so far with this game. If you are a beat'em up fan, you can't pass on this. Check out videos of it on youtube and google the game. It's free. They went all out on this game, it's Street of Rage on crack. It's like a HD release on consoles.

Bombergames made this so help them out since SEGA gave them a hard time when they made this. =3

Oh, yeah, right now, I'm playing George Gershwin's "Prelude to Bill Daly" on the piano. Pretty hard, but I'm getting the hang of it - even managed to memorize a few measures for the big performance a few weeks from now.

Okay, so maybe it isn't such a good idea to post twice in the same topic to answer the exact same question, but right now, I decided to go back and play inFAMOUS 2 again, just for kicks (and senseless evil, since I never got to do that the first two times around). It was - and still is - a great open world game, and since I'm kind of saving my money to buy a new game... that is totally not Sonic Generations... and there isn't really anything else new I'd like to dig into around now.

[Shadyone]

Adding on to my list:

FF 13-2
And then Guild Wars 2 as soon as it comes out.
My pile of shame will never end D=
(Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy 12 & 13 and LoZ OoT 3D are pretty much the only games I've completed in a while...)

I've been playing PSO (eps 1&2) recently. Well its not really much of a game but its a great dungeon crawler so its nice to drop in, complete a map, get a level or two and quit. Its kinda nice to have a 'casual' game that has no real aim.
I've been thinking about picking up a copy of Mass Effect 2 since I saw it going for a tenner the other day. But I hear bad things about it compared to the first (and DA's sequel was so awful its easy to believe) and the new one's out now right? But its also so cheap >.< What to do...

[Darkblade]

Kind of replaying Chrono Trigger on the DS along with Pokemon Leaf Green.
Playing a bit of Pandora Saga(Prolly gonna uninstall it), Stronghold Kingdoms (actually I check this a couple of times everyday) and Killing Floor.

Also Poxnora every so often.
Need my skeleton army fix.

[X-M-O]

I just recently rediscovered some of my old SNES game cartridges and am running through some old games (like Super Metroid, Super Mario Bros., Civilisation, etc.). Fun games. ^^
Always nice to go back and play the games that I used to fight over with my brothers, lol. Because they're all mine now. >:3

[Woodsie]

Mass Effect 3

Dark Souls

Forza Motorsport 4

Sega Superstars Tennis

MGS HD Collection

ME3 is ridiculously emotional at some points. A truly breathtaking experience.
Dark Souls is just one of the best games ever made.
Loving Forza 4, strangely addictive.
SST is also weirdly addictive, plus I'm a huge Sega fanboy.
MGSHDC: What's not to love really?

Mass Effect 2 is every bit as good as the first. The combat is vastly improved and storywise I believe its goal was to flesh out the galaxy by including more hub worlds and characters. It's so deep and so well written, and well worth that tenner.

I'd recommend playing it, then importing your character to ME3.

[Kaust]

I did end up buying it today, I've only played about 30 mins of it but yeah looks good. At the end of the day its just another DA/Fallout3 style game; don't fiddle with the formula too much and you're onto a winner.

[clear]

3 stars of destiny and warcraft III...cvcv7 and dota 6.74

[Iori_yagami]

KOF XIII - Man, I love this game. 8.5

TEKKEN 6 - I don't like it as much as KOF XIII, but it's still a great game. 8.5

Skyrim - Fus ro dah! 9.0

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Games I want desperately:

SFXT - Actually, I'm not all that excited. Knowing those money hungry dudes,
they'll probably release Super Street Fighter X TEKKEN with 12 brand new characters
for half the price of the original six months after the originals release:D.

Soul Calibur V - It looks awesome and it's getting good reviews. nuff' said.

EDIT:

I was playing Dead Island, but I can't bear it anymore. That game was SUCH a let down for me I can't even describe it... Thank god a friend lent it to me instead of me wasting cash on it.

I know that feel, bro:).
I actually bought the game, so that sucks.

In my opinion:

It's not such a bad game, but I was expecting more from Techland. I was expecting more
than just another typical zombie beat-em up. I thought they were going to make the first
zombie beat-em up that takes stuff like this (zombie infection) and makes a good story with it.
But what I got was a tedious beat-em up with EXTREMELY frustrating enemies and missions
in late game, along with a flat voice acting and weak characters. though it's actually better
when playing with friends. But i still dislike the game

I'd give it 6.0 for singleplayer and a 6.9 for multiplayer.

I started replaying Xenogears awhile back, but then things got a bit complicated with my life. I'll probably jump back on that again shortly, and from there who knows?
