What Videogame(s) Are You Playing Right Now?

[Sparq]

Finished a run through Dragon Age, now fiddling with Borderlands.

[Hyphnip]

Since my PS3 broke I've tossed Borderlands back into the mix on my 360 along with MW2 and L4D2

[AnOceanPearl]

Picked up Borderlands today, haven't started it yet.

[AnOceanPearl]

Have started Borderlands, and I think it's pretty good so far.

My new addiction is that damn 1 vs 100 on the 360. It's a great drinking game as your hands are usually free, and I love how this season has experience points and achievements.

[Sparq]

Finished first playthrough of Borderlands this afternoon. Second started, briefly.

[Doormat]

Playing Dawn of War 2. Wish my guys weren't so stupid. "Hey squad let's boost jump into that grenade!"

[myburningbridges]

The only game I play is guitr hero..

Never gets old!!!

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (again)

 

By far one of the best games ever, despite or even partly because of it's peculiarities compared to most domestic titles. Absolutely the best in terms of survival FPS.

FINALLY finished Super Metroid for SNES (aka ROMS on my PC! hahaha). Been playing this off and on for like 3 years, finally finished it off. Man, what an epic ending. Such a great game, definitely one of the best i've ever played. Never liked the game as a kid when both this and the original game came out. Just too young for it then i guess.

 

But now i'm hooked. Metroid Prime was pretty good but the series just shines in 2D. Gonna track down the original Metroid and the GBA games (Fusion & Zero Mission), and probably check out Shadow Complex as well.

I bought Uncharted 2 a couple of weeks ago and still haven't really played it yet. A friend of mine begged me to buy it because he wanted to play online, but I haven't felt myself caring about it that much.

 

I guess I find it hard to get excited about a lot of games these days. I'm an old man at 24.

[AnOceanPearl]

Shadow Complex is excellent and totally worth the money. The aiming will take some getting used to, but overall, it's a fantastic game.

 

Still working on Dead Space, Borderlands, Assassin's Creed 2, Final Fantasy 7.

[Hyphnip]

Fuck you and your Assassins Creed II! I'm so FUCKING bitter about my PS3 breaking as I was starting to get really into AC2

The constantly changing environment is cool, but I wouldn't say it's the best survival FPS. I was never in any threat really, ever since the beginning where I went right and tried to skillfully acquire Ak74s from 3 soldiers with my Makarov ;).

 

Don't like the fact that you can't repair armour. Didn't use my Seva suit ever because I didn't want it to break. AI was kinda silly because they couldn't see anomalies, hence the piles of bodies near a pathetically weak spring anomaly.

Just found out that Shadow Complex is this week's "deal of the week" on Xbox Live. Can buy it for 800 points instead of 1200. Basically bucks off. Nice!

1 VS 100 HOLIDAY!!!

It has a lot of problems, certainly, including bugs out the wazoo. Obviously I haven't played every survival FPS, but I don't know of anything better at any rate. AI was a bit odd, praticularly after a quick-load. Armour repair I didn't care about really. The game just had a sort of attitude to it that it wasn't really trying to let you win...it seemed indifferent to your victories or defeats, which really added to the experience. the inventory system was about as close to a realistic load as I've seen in anything, and the whole world was twisted, eeried, and mildly unsettling without being openly supernatural for the most part. I also have a soft spot for games/movies/etc that don't generally tie everything up with a neat disney bow and everyone goes home happy.

 

As for threats, that's just the thing...combat is fairly easy if you're cautious and have some tactical sense (taking in to account the largely idiotic AI) but you can't just stagger in to a room and start blasting away HALO-style. Armour doesn't deflect hundreds of bullets, it doesn't regenerate, and if you do screw up you're generally dead in ten seconds.

 

I also played the Clear Sky prologue/expansion dealie...more linear, repairable armour, etc. Didn't have the same feel.

 

At any rate, I liked them both :angry:

I'm trying to play Mass Effect but finding it kind of hard to get into.

[Moonlight_Graham]

1 VS 100 HOLIDAY!!!

 

I wanted to play that last night, but some family came home so i missed it. No big deal + my wicked family is way better!!

[AnOceanPearl]

I need to get in on this 1 vs 100 I think.

I'm trying to play Mass Effect but finding it kind of hard to get into.

 

Yes, i found the same thing. I was a big fan of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, also by Bioware and similar style RPG. But i know the Star Wars universe since i'm a geek, but Mass Effect is a totally new universe they created. Found it overwhelming trying to learn (and read) all about the different races, technology, places etc. in the game.

 

There are also is a TON of talking/conversation in the game, where you just have to sit and listen...and listen...and read...and listen. It bored me quickly, so i sold the game.

[Sparq]

Mass Effect was decent but I wouldn't play it twice.

 

Started and finished Modern Warfare 2.

[Doormat]

Dawn of War 2. Pretty good game. A strange combination of RTS and RPG. Pretty macro heavy and keyboard smashing at times.

 

Cyrus is my hero. Badass invisible demolitions, sniper, grenadier, scout, assassin guy. Easily the MVP.

[AnOceanPearl]

I love Mass Effect. I'm on playthrough number 3.

 

Currently going through a lot of games right now: Assassin's Creed 2, Borderlands, The Saboteur, Dragon Age, Final Fantasy 7.
