General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

Anxiously awaiting Halo's remake and Metal Gear Solid HD. Will probably get Skyrim for the girlfriend and I'm curious to see how it goes.

First Fallout 2 melee build I've done, it's a lot of fun. I'm also pretending I don't know how to solve every quest as to prolong the experience.

new vegas: going through Dead Money and then will move onto Honest Hearts. I've advanced about 60 hours in this replay and am trying to befriend every faction until the last moment. Already sided with NCR the first time so I'll pick a point and save and then play through fighting with legion and then Yes Man.

Shadow of the Colossus. Not as challenging as I had anticipated but I'll casually play it once a week or so.

Final Fantasy Tactics on iPad is taking up a lot of my time, controls are a bit annoying at first but nice to have the portability. Also Shadow Era on iPad, fun tactical card game that never seems to get old. Free to play but putting in about $10 USD for card packs can go a long way. And lastly on iPad, Starbase Orion, which is basically a MOO clone and I have basically the same things to say about it as I do Final Fantasy Tactics.



whew.

Wait wha? Haven't heard about either of those. Gonna have to check it out (even though I'm sure they'll ruin everything that made the original Halo and Metal Gear Solid great).

I actually just picked up the ICO/Shadow of the Colossus HD rerelease on PS3. I just beat Deus Ex HR and am starting up ICO. Only played about 30 mins, but so far it's pretty interesting. Gonna start SotC after I beat ICO.

The heck? Didn't know they released Tactics on the iPad either. One more thing to check out.

To clarify, MGS is just MGS2, MGS3, and Peace Walker in HD format for 360 and PS3. Using the latest versions, Subsistence, etc.
 
Finally finished Metro 2033. A rather decent game for the most part but gets so unbearably tedious toward the end that I simply couldn't believe it. With a decent mod/patch it would have been great.

Ah right, the HD Collection. I actually had seen that... and was terribly disappointed that the original Metal Gear Solid wasn't in there. Ah well, can still play it in all its terribly pixellated glory.
 
Nearly done with Dark Souls. Soon I will be able to enjoy life again.

Ironically, I also rented RAGE at the same time I rented Dark Souls. How amusing. It's a decent shooter, but it's not what I expected from id. They made the FPS genre and the only thing they can deliver is an ok game? That's just disappointing.

Just played Persona 4 earlier. I am actually impressed so far.

That series has always had my attention since it seems very different from most JRPG's in some very good ways. I actually have the fourth and will play it eventually. Supposedly the second Persona is the best and the first and third are ok.

Sincerely,

Started playing RAGE. The game sure looks/runs beautiful...on the ps3 at least.

The gameplay is also good, the only thing I didn't really like about the game so far were the retarded bandit voices/dialogues.

Persona 4 is oen of my favorite JRPG, well SMT itself is oen of the few JRPG series that are worth playing. I advice you to have some music ready, the game is 80 hours long and the music even if you likeit (wich I didn't except for some specific Boss Battle songs) will get annoying quick. or just use the Mute Button.
 
lol, 80 hrs is pretty short in my opinion. The problem these days is that everyone seems to want to pad out their games for one reason or another. Well, it's still better than using online content. I wish they would use the "access farther content by playing it again" better. In Dragon Quarter, this was done well, and if you know what you are doing, it's not that bad at all fighting over again.

Finished Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. My fingers hurt, and no amount of jiggling will convince me to complete all the trophies.

I am going to try to finish my Pushed ToB build in Demon's Souls. I might as well finish the build and complete my second run to get some trophies. Havoc engine still suck.

I am near where you have to pick a heroine in Ar Tonelico 3. I am still not liking the only one type of magic thing. It's kinda boring. Well, at least the diving is still pretty fun, especially the toilet joke. Havoc sucks big time for this game.

I am half way through Eternal Sonata. I am not sure if I can go through NG+, but the game is pretty cute nonetheless. Shoujo characters ain't everyone's cup of tea though.

I have almost finished Thage's run in Eternal Poison. This game is similar to Romancing Saga, so 4 more groups of characters left and probably at least 2 runs each. Let's hope it won't be like Romancing Saga's 500+ hours run for all 8 characters.

Freaking battle trophies on Star Ocean: The Last hope. It annoys me that you can't unlock 255 levels unless you do them. :roll: Well, more grind it is then.
 
Currently playing the Missing Link and Warhammer 40.000 Space Marine which I got from a friend.

Not a Warhammer fan but I enjoy fun action games.
 
Had some extra Steam money, so I got Garry's Mod. It's great if you just feel like messing around and building random stuff. I also the conveinience of the Toybox. You don't have to go to a website or anything to get maps, props, or weapons. You should've seen the look on my face when I saw you could place a Mr. saturn as an npc.

Anyway, I'm about 75% done with Earthbound. I'm working on getting the "Overcoming Shyness" book. Fuck Starmen.
 
Beat Arkham City and now I am working on completing everything. I hate that the costumes for Batman are all DLC and not unlockable. Not one fucking costume, cmon?! Trying to decide what to do next......
 
There is a halloween sale on PSN. Lot's of good stuff. 'Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse' for 12.99 instead of 24.99.

It sure is worth the money. All 5 Episodes are included.
