What are you playing right now? III

[Nate]

What are you playing right now, eh?


I've been playing Audiosurf a lot lately, trying to get the Potato. Played the shit out of the 'The Device Has Been Modified' song and was pulling my hair out over why I hadn't been rewarded it. Turns out I already had but didn't know because I have the Steam overlay turned off.

[Strike Witch]

I just beat the Elite Four and finished Pokemon White.

My Game-end team:

- Gensokyo

- Houston

- New York

- Pittsburgh

- Hong Kong

- Kyoto

[Dynamithix]

I've been playing RDR's public free roam, it's fun as hell with a friend.

Also, I've been plaing Pokémon too. Pokémon Emerald that is. I'm almost done with the Elite 4, I saved after Elite Drake and I'm going to keep playing today.

Also, guess what? I caught Rayquaza in a fucking pokeball! Hah!

[Phylum]

Portal 2. I'm loving it so far.

The gameplay feels much more polished than before. The addition of markers to show where your portals are is probably the largest addition. I couldn't help but notice a few occasions when the cube I'd dropped down a pit into a portal moved a bit as it left the pick-upy bit of the ASHPD to ensure that it was in line. There are also a few occasions where a portal shot onto a specific space will always face the same direction.

The dialogue is great. The insults that GLADoS throws at you are awfully amusing.

The only thing I'm unimpressed with so far are the between test-chamber areas. It's often hard to see where you're supposed to shoot your next portal. Spending 5 minutes looking around a large room is not what I call fun.

SPOILER:
GLADoS makes a good potato

[Dynamithix]

The new Mortal Kombat is fucking fun! Got it today and there's so much to do, I'm probably gonna defeat the Arcade ladder now and then spend some Koins in The Krypt.

FUCK YEAH.

[MeechMunchie]

No-one is allowed to talk about Mortal Kombat without saying their favourite character first. That's basically what it was made for.

[Dynamithix]

Cyrax all the way, bitch.

Kitana's cool too. And Noob Saibot.

[Wings of Fire]

I like the ninja chick you wouldn't want head from.

[Dynamithix]

Oh yeah, I like Mileena too.

[Strike Witch]

I like the robot guy. Not the guy with the robot arms, the guy who's full robot.

[Daxter King]

Still playing the Gears 3 beta, the servers were down for most of yesterday and it was pretty bad. Not Gears 1/2 level, but still pretty bad compared to something like Halo or CoD. The more I play the more I hate the double barreled shot gun, its the only thing I truly dislike about it.

Yellow or red?

Yellow = Cyrax, Red = Sektor. Yeah, they're badass.

[Hobo]

Cyrax.

In addition to MK, I'm playing Portal 2 and Arkham Asylum. Brilliant.

[Phylum]

Baraka, because I'm reasonably good with him in the early MK games.

I'm working through Quake 2 again now that I've downloaded something to make it run in my Mac.

[Disgruntled Intern]

Mortal Kombat as well. Noob was one of my favorites, but he's been made cheaper than usual in the latest installment. Sektor is fun, so is Smoke.

[Strike Witch]

Yellow or red?

Yellow = Cyrax, Red = Sektor. Yeah, they're badass.

Wasn't there a purple one? I liked that one.

[Phylum]

Robo-smoke. I always liked human smoke more than his robotic form.

[Dynamithix]

Too bad they didn't make all of the Klassic costumes available from the Krypt.

There's even a few secret fights in the Arcade Ladder if you do a few things right and one of them is the klassic Reptile, (Which uses Sub-Zero's ice ball and throw -move. WTF?) but you still don't get the klassic costume for Reptile. BULLSHIT.

Anyways, I haven't been able to play Mortal Kombat for 3 days. I think I'm losing my mind. I just want to play it!

[Phylum]

klassic Reptile, (Which uses Sub-Zero's ice ball and throw -move. WTF?)

I guess I'll use spoiler tags, too.

In MK1 Reptile alternated between the movesets of Scorpion and Sub-zero.

[Dynamithix]

Wow, I didn't know that. I'm no true MK fan.

[MeechMunchie]

Well, somebody knows their target audience.

I approve of the consensus that Cyrax is the best. He was smart enough to bring grenades to an unarmed conflict.

Screw your human concept of honour. Electro-web: Deploy!

[STM]

On and off Fallout 2 and DoW Retribution.

I've never completed F2, only ever got to fighting Frank Horrigan, in my opinion the story is as good if not better than F3 + FNV, and you know I prefer gameplay too, even if it does mean waiting five minutes for everyone to finish their turn.

[Crashpunk]

Been on Counter-Strike: Source this morning, I was on cs_office and its a awesome map.

[Nate]

Playing Portal 2 in short bursts in between bouts of motion-sickness induced nausea.

It's pretty good. I like the puzzle-solving aspect, as usual. It's just that I keep expecting something AMAZING to happen and it just hasn't, yet.

They are a couple of AMAZING bit in the game. I won't give out any spoilers of course but you will be amazed soon.

I think the amazing part is more the storytelling after the *thing* happens. That, and the final confrontation. That part was awesome.

[Mac Sirloin]

I could've guessed the ending based on what Cave Johnson says about the gel. Could've, but didn't.

Anyway, I'm playing Sonic Adventure and Beyond Good and Evil HD off of XBL Arcade. Both of them are just as I remember them, though Sonic is just that much more retarded. I miss retarded games.

[Nate]

Thanks for the spoilers, everyone!

At least keep it within the Portal 2 thread, where they can be easily avoided.

I've been playing the Steam version of Sonic Adventure recently. It's one of the few Sonic games I haven't played, and considering how highly the Sonic fandom regards it I was expecting something a little less balls-out retarded.

I mean Jesus Christ, the cutscenes are cringeworthy, the controls are really twitchy, and the camera is godawful.

And it doesn't help that the graphics are seriously outdated.

[Wings of Fire]

You people don't know what fun is.

Just wait til you get to the Perfect Chaos fight, that's the greatest example of Sega dropping the ball there is.
