What are you playing right now? IV -

So I finally got Rayman Origins. £12 off Amazon, and I couldn't resist.

The first thing I noticed was how incredibly slippy the controls are. Not in a bad way, necessarily: I imagine I'll get used to them. It seems Ubisoft were going for a very fluid platformer, and there are sections where everything just clicks and feels right, which is nice.

The game doesn't seem terribly difficult if you're only completing the levels, but aiming to get all the lums seems more of a challenge. I'm enjoying it so far though

Crashpunk · #32 02-02-2012, 07:32 AM

Woah thats cheap. I plan to get Rayman Origins after I've completed LoZ: Skyward Sword.

JennyGenesis · #33 02-03-2012, 01:21 AM

There's something in Rayman Origins I don't understand but I think it might be considered a spoiler so I'll hide for those who don't want to read it.

On the third boss (My Heartburns For You) I complete the part where your inside the stomach hitting those pink blobs with the eyes. After completing that part the heart next to me looked bigger and it had a face on it, but still, it did not seem to affect how many hits I could take, anybody know more about this because I'm confused?

You Have To Fertilise The Egg. Same people. Short simple, packed with class. Google it.

Mr. Bungle · #35 02-03-2012, 12:55 PM

Age of Empires. The first one. Fuck yeah.

BoneyHead95 · #36 02-03-2012, 12:57 PM

I pre-order Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and it should of come today but it didn't. So I played some Gears Of War 3. :P

Disgruntled Intern · #37 02-03-2012, 01:25 PM

Skyrim. My tour of the mages guild was interrupted by a god damned dragon and now I can't resume my tour. I'd load an earlier save, but I did too much shit inbetween then and now. Annoying.

Sort of played the Syndicate demo with dynamantix, but was interrupted by work related bullshit. Also annoying.

Tried Modern Warfare 3 and was just unimpressed and bored with it. It was pretty though.

enchilado · #38 02-03-2012, 01:34 PM

Lots of things. Most often: Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, World of Goo, the Binding of Isaac, Orcs Must Die!, Osmos, Jamestown, Bit.Trip Runner and Gish.

I was recently subject to some extreme nostalgia for this. Is it worth $18, in your opinion?

Crashpunk · #39 02-03-2012, 03:08 PM

You guys need to get AoE II: Age of Kings too. Its the best Age of Empires game ever.

There's four of them, that's not such a difficult feat.

That being said, it is one of my favourite games ever.

Yeah. It's also worth pirating, like I did.

Only because I lost the disc about a decade ago though.

But honestly, if you're gonna get an AoE game, go for the second one. It's definitely the best, as others have stated.

OANST · #43 02-04-2012, 06:26 AM

This doesn't really belong here, but I am really close to convincing myself to get a Kinect. The two studios that I always buy games from (Doublefine, and Twisted Pixel) have started making Kinect exclusive titles, and Doublefine's newest, Happy Action Theater, has got it's hooks in me. I can imagine having so much fun with that with Abbey.

Will the fact I've 100%ed Super Meat Boy help?

It really isn't that hard, don't know what everyone is talking about... Though the bonus level, Land of the Livid Dead, is really fucking hard on your first try. Beware.

I've been playing Assassin's Creed: Revelations and the Syndicate demo.

I really enjoyed Syndicate and I'm most likely going to get it soon after it's released. Kinda bummed that it didn't have a singleplayer demo though.

Revelations is alright, but I'm already a bit bored with it. Unlike Brotherhood, I don't even really want to explore. I don't like the place you're in in Revelations, Rome was much more interesting. Storywise, it seems pretty good.

Multiplayer in it is loads o' fun, but not many people play it, I can only find basic deathmatch games. I want to play team deathmatch, god damnit!

It's funny, I think exactly opposite: cities in Brotherhood looked for me like those in AC2, which bored me after a short while, the ones in Revelations seem fresh (although I have not completed the game yet, who knows)

Daxter King · #47 02-04-2012, 03:02 PM

Just bought Bastion on impulse since it was on sale. Not really sure why I didn't like it before, it's really fun so far. Game is beautiful too and has good music. I've barely started it, but it has already grabbed my attention.

Also, how good is the DLC? I'll probably get it anyways since its just a dollar, but what is it comprised of?

MeechMunchie · #48 02-04-2012, 03:37 PM

It's easier to just finish the game first, then you'll understand.

Mac Sirloin · #49 02-06-2012, 10:46 AM

I bought Skyrim while looking for Space Marine. It's very fretty and has to load a lot on the PS3. It's pretty fun, I just reached RiverWood

after rampaging across the landscape like an eggscaped Orang-utan. I was attacked by skelertons about 2 minutes after wandering into what appears to be Alberta. There was also a man who threw a dog made out of zappery at me. I dispadthed they and claimedth his diary, which was altho near a skelerton. My conjuring skill was raithed somehow.

I really wish I'd bought the guide a few weeks ago when it was at the very same store for about seven dollars.

Also playing Plants vs. Zombies whenever I take a bathroom break at work. Lots of fun, updated with a whole bunch of extra puzzles and minigames. You can buy them either with the coins you earn in game, or for something like 2$ a pop in iTunes money.
Also, then Zen garden. What is it for?
And who wants to play PS3 with me?

OANST · #50 02-06-2012, 11:17 AM

I bought a Kinect. It came with The Gunstringer, which is cool because, as I've mentioned, I love Twisted Pixel. The Gunstringer is pretty damn fun, and I'm surprised by how well it actually works.

I also bought Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster, and Happy Action Theater. HAC is pretty awesome as a toy, but it's not really a game, which is fine with me.

I'm still spending the majority of my time playing Iron Brigade, though. Survival mode is just an absolute ass raping by wave 15 unless you come with a damn good strategy. Best I've done so far is getting to wave 71, which took a lot of time, teamwork, and patience. I love this game.

A Zen mode in any game is usually one infinite level with gentle (if any) escalation.

Yo, I know a few guys on here (Dripik, Wil, Nexy...) MP'd Magicka for a while. I've got a few bits of DLC - last stand maps, Vietnam, Stars are Left etc. I think only the host needs the expansions, so anyone interested in that?

***Nate*** · #52 02-06-2012, 02:18 PM

For annoying people with OCD and/or completionist anxiety.

Basically, after a certain point you start receiving plants as rewards in the game. You water them periodically and they give you coins. But it's mainly about collecting 'em all.

Dynamithix · #53 02-06-2012, 09:04 PM

I bought Bastion from Xbox Live marketplace as it was on sale for 600 points. Really enjoying it so far, didn't have much time to play it because I have an exam today, but I really want to play it more. The narrator is awesome.

I also started playing Red Dead Redemption's multiplayer with a few friends. Landgrabbing is really fun with lots of people, but oh boy do I hate the fucking leveling system... I'm still only level 23 even though I've played the multiplayer for countless hours. You get an extremely small amout of XP for killing someone and sometimes (has happened to me twice now) the XP until your next level resets. What the fuuuck. I don't even know what's causing that to happen.

DAZDOUG · #54 02-07-2012, 06:51 AM

League of Legends, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft

Mr. Bungle · #55 02-07-2012, 11:49 AM

Just like the rest of the internet, eh?

MeechMunchie · #56 02-07-2012, 11:57 AM

They're all good games.

Daxter King · #57 02-07-2012, 08:01 PM

Just beat Bastion, what a fucking amazing game. The ending honestly presented the hardest choice I've ever faced in a game. Can't wait to tackle the new game plus and the DLC.

Mr. Bungle · #58 02-08-2012, 07:32 AM

I should probably try Bastion, it's been getting tons of praise from all over the internet.

I got to what I thought would be the last world of Rayman Origins (clouds, whatever theyre called) only to find there are 5 more whole worlds left. Sweet. Can't get enough of this game.

Also been playing through Yoshi's Island again for fun. It's probably my favourite 2-D platformer ever, the art style and gameplay is just so amazing.

Dynamithix · #59 02-08-2012, 07:35 AM

I'm now up to the part where you get dual pistols in Bastion, this game is so beautiful. I don't get the "Who Knows Where" place though. Is it some kind of a survival mode or what?

Gameplay wise, yeah pretty much that. It also serves to fill in the backstory of the different characters. I found the the second to be the most difficult, by the time I hit the third I was pretty much unstoppable so it wasn't too bad.
