What are you playing right now? VI

[dripik]

Shameless advertisement go!

I'm playing Resident Evil 4 on my channel

Oh, we're doing that now?

I'm playing Payday 2 with AlexFili on my channel

[Wings of Fire]

I see absolutely no problem with advertising your liveplays or letsplays on a thread dedicated to telling people what you're currently playing.

[Crashpunk]

I thought so. I might as well make a thread devoted to my channel.

[dripik]

I see absolutely no problem with advertising your liveplays or letsplays on a thread dedicated to telling people what you're currently playing.

I don't either - I just thought it was a good follow-up.

I already made a thread ages ago for OWF members who have stuff to share from their YT channels, but it died out after a week or so.

[OANST]

Dr. Karl went into hibernation. That's why.

[AlexFili]

To me it makes sense for us all to share our YouTube vids and spread the love. Good way of giving a honest critique of videos as well as finding some other steam buddies too!

[Job McYossie]

I once posted a LP of AO, a few people watched the first episode, which was awful, and no one has watched any of the episodes I think are enjoyable.

[MeechMunchie]

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't even watch the first episode.

[Mac Sirloin]

On that note, here's me playing some Dark Souls 2.
These videos suck.

[Shade667]

When I get a new PC ima get a capture card so I can shamelessly promote myself alongside u guys!

[OANST]

After you get the 3DS, you mean. No large purchases before that, or Crashpunk will visit your asshole while you sleep.

[Varrok]

And believe us, you really don't want a fast-spinning, crazy bandicoot in your asshole

[STM]

I'm revisiting Victoria II, currently playing as Yemen and am trying to create a trans-west Asian/ East African empire. It's about 1850 and I've taken a chunk of Egypt. Take that, ISIS.

[Shade667]

I was playing Evolve yesterday. Got into the Big Alpha on PS4. Really enjoyed it (After the 2 hours of matchmaking errors, but Alpha is Alpha).

[Crashpunk]

I played the Evolve alpha too. It takes a few hours to get used to all the classes but it's a really fun cat and mouse sort of game. Reminds me of the Saxon Hale gamemode in TF2 and a bit of Left 4 Dead.

I've yet to play the Monster. It looks quite hectic.

[Mr. Bungle]

Playing Demon Souls and about ready to give up and get a new copy of Dark Souls for PS3. I'm not ready.

Fire breathing armored spider is just one big dose of nope.

[Varrok]

DkSouls isn't really much easier.

Want to do some jolly co-op? I have every world except the Valley of Defilement at Stage 2 so I can likely help you wherever. Just finished the first part of tower of Latria last night (all with Sekto Spring's help mind you) and that maze is still fresh in my mind. Message me or whatev.

I'm uh...well I'm playing through Demon's Souls. It's my favorite Souls game by far, they got all the mechanics worked out, however clunky they can be. I was playing last night and Chris (Sekto) got summoned as the boss for a certain area for the first time since the game was released ~6 years ago.

I'm also playing Five Night's At Freddy's. I have a phobia of mannequins, they make me incredibly uncomfortable and I'm caught between staring at them and looking away whenever I go out. 5N@F laughs at me. It laughs and laughs and then it makes me jump in fright. And it keeps laughing.

[Wings of Fire]

DkSouls isn't really much easier.

It's a lot fairer though.

[Varrok]

But DeSouls might be unfair for your advantage.

[Phylum]

Guys BoI:Rebirth came out and nobody reminded me, so now I have plans today when I should be playing it :<

[Shade667]

Thats what calendars are for.

[Phylum]

So I downloaded BoI, but more importantly

REEEFLLEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It's very early access for now. But it's like a spiritual successor to Quake.

[Shade667]

I thought Quake 2 was the successor to Quake.

[Crashpunk]

Spiritual successor to Quake. As in it's similar in terms of the elements, mechanics and gameplay yet not having "Quake" in the name.

Speaking of which, Reflex looks a hell of a lot of fun. I love the old school competitive shooters.

[Phylum]

I played a bit, and it's very very early access. You can play it, but only just. The movement is so fucking fun though. Holy shit it's worth $10 to just bunny hop around the maps.

Shade it's the spiritual successor to the Quake franchise, aka competitive arena shooters that aren't Painkiller. Specifically, it's heavily influenced by the Quake 3 mod CPMA, which has also been included in Quake Live in the form of Promode (recently renamed to "Turbo" for some dumb reason).

[Shade667]

Fair enough.
I said that cuz I thought something could oly be a spiritual successor if the game didnt have a successor, but if its the series ur talking about it then that makes sense.

[Phylum]

You can have spiritual successors to things that have official successors. You can build on ideas from a game even if it has a sequel.

[Shade667]

But isnt that called something different? Like how league of legends is a 'DOTA clone', rather than a dota successor. And how games are referred to as 'Roguelikes' when they are similar to rogue?

[Phylum]

With games that spawn entire genres, all games in that genre can in some form be thought of as spiritual successors, at least at first. Roguelikes these days have changed quite a lot.

LoL could be described as a spiritual successor to DOTA, but it doesn't want to be, especially given the current market. Arena shooters, on the other hand, are rapidly dying out. This game looks set to take the torch from Quake, so from an advertising point of view it makes sense to refer to it as that.

Basically, lots of things can spiritually success each other if you think about it hard enough. It's more about what people say.
