I'm playing Lisa: The Painful RPG.

It sure does live up to its name.

A little late, But I played Journey a couple of days ago.

I'm so glad I finally played it. Because holy christ, what a beautiful game. The visuals and the soundtrack are outstanding. Breathtaking even. It was definitely an experience I won't forget anytime soon.

I grew even more attached to it when my mate told me that the "NPC" that followed you was actually another person playing the game.

Blew my frigging mind.

Currently playing a couple of games.

Right now the one drawing most of my attention is the original Abe's Oddysee because I'm having fun with the level editor ^^;

I've always been playing the original Xenoblade Chronicles and falling in love with it again.

Also been playing a small indie game called VA-11 HALL-A. It's like an 80s styled visual novel where you play as a bartender serving anime girls alcoholic drinks while an AMAZING soundtrack plays in the background; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-G_E3iM9aI

DAMN! That shit is my fucking jam. If you like this you should check out Dance with the Dead, Kavinsky and Perturbator.

If anyone here enjoyed Limbo they should play Inside. It's short like Limbo but it's a very memorable experience.

Paragon is my new time sink.

Wait - Inside is out already?! Holy shit, how did it slip past me?

What's Inside? I'm surprised I've never heard of it. Fucking loved Limbo.

I've listened to a bit of Kavinsky but not too much. Any songs you'd recommend from any of those guys? :P

Finished it at 100% last Sunday, superb game! I recommend playing it ASAP as you don't want it to be spoiled for you.

Also Overwatch is ruling mightily over my game time. :p

Bumping this on user's request

Played Garry's Mod for the first time last night. Threw stuff around for a bit, rode an elevator, then played prop hunt. Good times.

Mainly Overwatch. Tryharded the crap out of Competitive Season 2 for the first week and got to the Rank I wanted. After that, I played way more casually and actually enjoyed it a lot more. The new arcade mode and 3v3 is where my playtime is going right now.

Overwatch is for sure my game of the year. It's so frigging good. It's actually refreshing playing an FPS again, after me and everyone I knew quit TF2 and moved onto Dota 2. And whilst that's fun, I just straight up prefer First person shooters. Overwatch is the game I needed to fill that gap.

If anyone plays Overwatch and is on PC. My battle.net is Wariopunk#2703. I main Tracer. But play as almost every hero apart from Widow. Fuck Widowmaker. I can't snipe for shite.

Phylum is also playing it.

So over the past five months or so, I played through all of Dark Souls 1 including the DLC and it was fucking great. I loved it. Then I started playing Dark Souls 2, and I didn't love it as much. I tried to go into it with an open mind, because I knew that it got a lot of shit, but it just feels kind of disappointing overall. Not that it didn't have any good moments, because it definitely does, but it just felt lackluster in terms of design and a lot of the bosses. I'm actually very slowly playing through the DLC now and I'm seriously on the verge of just quitting and starting DS3. The DLC is bullshit, man. Not even like the fun type of bullshit either.

It's just boring and aggravating, but I'd feel bad if I was skipping out on some cool bosses. I've beaten the Fume Knight who was fun to fight and have been trying to beat Sir Alonne, who's also really fun. I'm not even going to bother with the stupid recolored Smelter Demon. But right now it barely seems worth it.

I just wrote a massive essay on why DS2 is nowhere near the level of 1 and lost it when my phone decided to disconnect from the internet.

Summary: 1 is amazing, 2 is shit, 3 is amazing and has the best boss fights in the series. It's the most fun but 1 is probably better in terms of world design.

Also, I find it weird how you hate 2's DLC, it's almost on par with 1 in terms of quality.

Lately I've been playing a my fair share of The Witcher 3 (such a good action-rpg with a nice world to explore), there are often nice little rewards hidden in nooks and crannies. Plus the creature and character designs are really cool. I'm chipping away at Fallout 4, but everytime I die I seem to end up quite far back... guess I don't use autosave enough. Then there's the new Survival Mode in the Division. It basically turns the whole game into a 40-90 minute fight for survival. You try to scavenge guns and essential supplies and try not to freeze to death by warming yourself up in buildings or by the fire. Works quite well although I've had a few deaths due to dodgy servers/lag.

I'm replaying Banjo Kazooie Nuts N Bolts because fuck that's a great game.

Fennec was awesome enough to buy me Ori and the Blind Forest for Christmas and it might actually be my new favourite platformer ever. The game plays so well, it's fluidity and easy-to-learn, hard-to-matter gameplay make it addicting as fuck.
Not to mention the story is great, and it definitely jerked my emotional cock a great deal, which hasn't happened in a game since SOMA.
The soundtrack and visuals are beautiful and compliment each other perfectly.
So basically you should buy this fucking game

Is it? Internet gave me an impression it was the MO of the Banjo Kazooie games. I never played it, though.

It's one of my all time favorite games. I like it better than the first two. But it's very, very different. Also, not having other people to play with (since it's been so long since it came out) may hamper a new comer's enjoyment. I still love it, though.

Have you played Conker's Bad Fur Day? It's the closest to Banjo I have ever played

A friend of mine used to recommend Nuts N Bolts to me every time we saw it in the game store, and I bought it after like the twelfth time but never got around to playing it. What do you mean about it being better with other people – is it multiplayer, or a game that benefits from a group passing the controller round?

Got XCOM 2. If ur getting it on console u better be a huge XCOM fan (which I am) or ur gonna be sitting through 1-3 minute loading screens. Cant speak for PC, but id imagine it would better.

Also stardew valley is godlike.

Nuts N Bolts is basically a vehicle creation game, and it's surprisingly very, very deep. Every time the game throws a new challenge at you, you're going to try to create a vehicle that you think will work for it. Your first attempt will probably not work at all, but you'll go back to the drawing board with a decent idea of why it didn't work (too heavy, too light, not aerodynamic enough, too aerodynamic ((yes, that can be an actual problem), too little fuel, wrong weaponry, add retractable wings to switch between ground and sky, that sort of thing. Your second attempt probably still won't work, but it's close. Your third should be serviceable. Come back later in the game with more parts, and better ideas, and you'll destroy the challenge, getting a better time, and more unlocked stuff.

The multiplayer aspect gives you dozens of different race modes to play against other people with their own creations. There's also a sandbox area called the Test O Track where you can hang out with other people, and just dick around in the different things you made. You learn a lot from this mode. Also, you can share vehicle blueprints with friends, which they can improve upon, and share back with you.

The game itself is so goddamn pretty, and there's so much to do in it, I probably spent a solid 150 hours getting 100% in it back in the day.

Yes, Varrok, I played Conker. It's fun, and I guess kind of like the first two Banjo games, but more linear than they were.

I'm playing The Cave as it came free with Xbox Live Gold.

Liking that game a lot, should have bought it when it first came out, now I feel like I'm being cheap with Double Fine :p

If you like point and click games but don't like to point and click you should check this game out. :)

If you want to make up for it, buy Headlander. It's the best game they've made in a really long time.

I think I was pretty bitter when I made that post. I might have to revisit 2's DLC soon now that I've had some time away from it.

I’ve started playing Hitman and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

I very much enjoyed Blood Money and spent a longass time getting the perfect stealth kills for each mission, but I found Absolution to be much less interesting. Hitman (or as it’s officially named, HITMAN™) seems to basically be a larger game in the vein of Blood Money, with Absolution’s graphics engine and online features. The episodic format works alright and is priced fairly, and it encourages you to get the most out of each episode’s extra content. It’s such a satisfying game if you enjoy stealth and subterfuge, and especially if you enjoyed Blood Money.

MGSV is the first mainline MGS game I’ve played, since I’ve found the previous entries to have disagreeable control schemes and gameplay styles – I’ve enjoyed them through Let’s Plays instead. V seems to hit the sweet spot for me between easy to pick up and deep enough to be really fun; the open world, variety of loadout options and the number of ways you can approach missions because of that is exactly what I hope for in this sort of game. It’s missing a lot of the weirder MGS nonsense, but I don’t mind since it works in favor of the more serious tone Kojima was going for.

What do you mean by that?

Oh no, it doesn't. It's just pushed further into the game.
