General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

Just played trough silent hill 1 & 3 and had good time. I easily preferred the first game, it has better tone, better puzzles and its straight up creepier than the third game, it has also aged rather well.

Third game wasnt a bad game at all, but didnt really stand up to the first and second game (which i played back when it came out). Also i felt the human encounters and dialogue worked better in the first game, they were off putting and characters felt strange in a good way, not so much in the third game.

Im considering the fourth game but after checking out few reviews and some gameplay i feel discouraged, anyone here that has played silent hills and enjoyed the previous games (1-3), would the fourth game be worth it?
 
The Room is tricky, it's the Marmite of the early SH games and has a pretty neat vibe to it as well as a rather original way to tell the plot however it comes across as too different to be a SH game so it's hard to tell if you would like it or not until you try it.

Neither me or my friends could stand the room. But i tried homecomming a while back and it was really goo for the time i played it.
 
Just played trough resident evil remake for the gamecube. Became my favourite game in the series, i never played the first game back in the day, i started with res2, which im going to replay too pretty soon.

It was best looking and creepiest game on the series and it really felt like survival horror due to the ink ribbons(limited save games) crimson heads ( regular zombies come back later as harder enemies unless you burn the bodies), limited kerosene (the stuff you burn the zombies with) and rather scarce ammo.

It also felt much less cheesy compared to resident evil 4 or 5, most likely due to the limited amount of dialogue and cutscenes.

I played the first game when it was new and i love it! The second game was awesome to but for some reason i'm one of the few who prefered the first one.. The third was was great but less scary and code veronica was good but not my top 2..
Then i tried the remake at my friends house and it really had that spooky feeling especially outdoors and i fell in love with it. Might just get myself a game cube one of these days so i can play trough the games again :) The only thing i will miss out on is CV + 5-6.. And i think i wouln't miss them at all :P

Yup, i advice on playing the remake if you havent had the chance yet. Have you tried the resident evil zero? From what i gather it seems rather similar to the REmake, except it has gotten on average lower scores and while fans seem to have enjoyed it, its often described as average on resident evil scale.

Never played resident evil 3 either, gonna start it after i finish the second game.

And yeah while i thought RE 5 was ok, RE6 seems to be bad enough to just skip.
 
R3 is more action but still close enough to the others. And depending on where/when you go the game will change a bit. Kinda neat! I was not a huge fan of Zero tho due to the slime crap but besides that it was not to shabby.
R4 was kinda awesome to like Fallout tactics to Fallout 1/2. Not the same type of game but good enough.

Skipped 6 and the other "new" one + all the on rail crap on the playstation.
 
You can play RE Zero and REmake on the Wii, if you didn;t know already. Need to plug in a GC remote though, which also works with the Wii. The games are awesome. RE3 (Nemisis) is an outstanding game as well, if on the short(er) side.
 
I started with Resident Evil 2 then 3 then the first, loved RE2, the 2 different stories was amazing, and RE3 was good, but RE1 was just to hard for me, never did complete it. I'm not a big fan of the series now though, don't like how they've changed the infected, I'm a big zombie fan (old fashioned zombies) but did play RE5 but just didn't enjoy it.

I've just got back into Xbox Live gaming, had to create a new account since the last time I went online was 4 years ago. If any of you guys own 360's and play the likes of Battlefield,COD and Need For Speed Most Wanted send me a request "EracticFanatic"
 
Got back into APB Reloaded a few days ago.. And i noticed that my ram needs to be updated.. 4gig is not enough nowdays it seems.. At first i thought the game was randomly lagging due to the last patch but i was wrong :/

For those of you who likes GTA you should try this game out. It's basicly a GTA mmo with a shitload of customization but it does have one really bad feature.. Pay to win. But it's not THAT gamebreaking if you got some fps skills.
 
Heh, my main car in APB Reloaded was a Broadwing fitted with Racoon City Police decals.
Am tempted to go back to it but it appears the servers are lagging worse than ever and they've always been laggy.

They are working on it but it's not "that" bad imo. But it seems like the game require more memory than before. Had to upgrade my computer with another stick when i came back :P
 
Dwarf Fortress!

Just when I think I'm leveling off on the learning/complexity curve, BAM! some other huge layer of gameplay creeps up. This keeps happening over and over. I find myself at a subway crackhead level of addiction currently.
 
Finally completed New Vegas, only took 253 hours and about 7 false starts.
Kinda titchy compared to some people's playtime around here (hayoo Walpknut) but a respectable amount.

'Spose I better try and get further than the tutorial in Alpha Protocol now.
 
Newest free DLC for ME3 multiplayer is (almost) out, and I had forgotten how much I liked it. I am pleased to see they didn't just tack on something half-baked and that they are still supporting it a year after release.

But enough of this. Time to smash heads with my Krogan's hammer.
 
I finally feel like I've gotten my "fill" of Dead Space 3 that I've returned to playing OTHER games. I keep coming back (cause damn it's a great game), and despite not liking the glaringly obvious "well that was stupid, but the plot demanded it" moments, the story overall is solid, and the facial animations in some of the cutscenes are simply phenomenal. Watching Isaac's face contort in rage during a certain scene in Chapter 15 is one of my favorites; you really feel what he's going through right there. The game's got clear flaws, but as a whole, it was really well done. It took 3 weeks of constant playing it for me to finally feel like I can turn away for a while.

My first title I've returned to was ever-reliable DotA2. I saw a couple videos of "Purge Casts a Pub" and realized that, as much as the game ranks me in lower player brackets than I'd like, I am filed under MUCH higher player brackets than the players in those videos. I'll never be subjected to THOSE levels of sheer incompetence, in-game, and that's very comforting. Getting myself ranked higher is just gonna take time, effort, and lots and lots of patience. So it's basically Starcraft II all over again... XD

I also traded a bunch of cosmetic items, so I played a couple matches against bots to shake off the rust from my inactivity, AND to oggle my sexy-hero outfits. I may really hate the micro-transactions of that game, but damn if the outfits aren't seriously badass!

(By the way, Ilosar, I was looking over my last post about DotA2 to remember who I was talking to about the genre, and I see you were one of them, and that you "may" try DotA2 specifically if it "comes out". Well, I've got a bunch of free invites, so if you want one to give it a shot, lemme know!)

Nice of you, but I actually got my key and tried it a few weeks back. Maybe I'm just too used to League, but it didn't hook me. Too many ''features'' that seem just there because they always were and the community would cry is they removed them (Secret Shop, Couriers, levels beyond 16 beind boring stat-ups). Towers are also kinda useless, since they don't auto-target champs like in League. You die slightly too fast. The game is less readable and the interface less clean.

I don't know, maybe playing more would solve some problems. But I'm still playing league, and now ME3 occupies my time.

EDIT: oh, and no Ability Power. Playing a caster? Rush for Aghanim's, else you're useless as soon as people start getting more health.
 
Hey look! Another brown mindless cover based modern military shooter!

Nope! :D here is a bunch of moral problems and real storytelling for you. Have fun drowning in grey morality :D!
