General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

Over the summer I picked up Master of Magic in a sale bundle from GoG. I've been relatively obsessed with it ever since. One of the best games I've ever played, really.

Also, Myron is hilarious. And he can use energy weapons. Poorly, true, but he can use them.

Can't get enough of this game.

Yesterday it crapped out when I used a script tool to give me nukes in the first Seattle mission and launched four of them at the city.
 
I think so. I've toned down anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing, since I don't notice them. Texture and model detail is set to the highest. Keep in mind, this is a 2007 game.

I think that's not a particularly representative screenshot, though. I just posted it since it illustrates how the map gradually turns into a moonscape as the mission plays out. It's quite awesome, to be honest.
 
You can get as low as 1m above ground. The models are well detailed and you can even hear the crews inside the vehicles when you're close enough.

It's got a pretty great story to boot.

Word of advice: if you're getting it on Steam, install either Soviet Assault or World in Conflict. If you install both at the same time, the game will fail to start.

Steam doesn't tell you, but the expansion pack in your library is actually WiC + SA, not just the latter. If you have both on your hard drive, they will conflict, have a heart attack, and crap out.
 
WiC is pretty sweet yeah. For me (as an enthusiastic but pretty crappy RTS player) the game hit the perfect spot between a good challenge and unrestrained glee when bombing the shit out of some town or position. I can imagine that it is too easy for more hardcore players of the genre though...

Click to expand...


I'll probably get a retail, it's cheaper than Steam.

Problem is, I don't know when I'll have the time to play it. Oh, someday.
 
Just beat Eternal Darkness for the first time. Loved it. Now I'm replaying Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth for the PC. Oh and GTA V rocks. Hard. When it actually works online.
 
Been playing a lot of GTA 5, Company of Heroes and the BF4 Beta, GTA 5 without its problems online is just awesome, more games need to be made like this, not a short game that isn't worth its retail price
 
Shadow of the Colossus at the moment. I was playing Kingdoms of Amalur, but I decided to take a break and tackle something out of my backlog for a bit. Loved Ico, but I'm finding myself not being as immediately fond of its successor.

Great music, nice visuals even in this day, and I love the fact that figuring out how to reach the weak spot of each colossus is a puzzle in and of itself. Then we get to the part of actually striking said weak spot and while a lot of the time it's no big deal, a few of the colossi are a pain in dealing with this. Simply put, they move/shake way too often at times. Due to this there have been a handful of moments where the grip meter gets depleted leading me to fall from the colossus thus having to climb it again.

It is a minor gripe, however, so I'm still liking it. I understand that they don't want to make it too easy to kill them even if the puzzle of getting there can be time-consuming as it is on your first time around.
 
Playing the Pokemanz right now.... Goodbye to my weekend.

If any of you has 3DS friend Codes pm me so we add each other.
 
It's a pretty cool game. They put so much shit on it I am suprised they released this generation so fast (compared to the previous standard 4 years). Been playing almost 20 hours now, and I am not even halfway done I keep getting sidetracked.
 
I really like PoP: The Sands of Time, played it through three times already. For some reason it's the first game since the Fallouts and Wasteland that's made me want to write a guide.

Now playing Midtown Madness 2 from 2000, more than 11 years after my missed opportunity to buy it. Yay for old games. If I could only find a used copy of Psychonauts, my gaming life would be complete.
 
Everyone needs a little Psychonauts in their life.

Completed Minverva's Den, was given free to BS2 owners so figured it was worth the try after taking way to long to get to PC.
It's essentially distilled Bioshock 2 minus the crap antagonist and with more SCIENCE and finally explains how turrets and security cameras actually work. Good story, explored the two main characters in it quite thoroughly as well as helping firm up the Bioshock lore a tad, I always found the engineering/technological diaries the most interesting so running around the computer operations centre was a treat. Ion Laser is an interesting weapon and it's a shame it doesn't end up in the standard game.
Playing it after Infinite really shows how lacking Infinite is in, well, pretty much everything.

Onto Resident Evil 6, where Leon Kennedy is currently QTE'ing his way through cutscenes with a few sections of gameplay inbetween.
