General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

I was going to share it with my brother, but it still has as only one save slot. A 2016 game that could save in the SD card has only one...
 
It's to avoid cheating by trading or leveling or whatever pokemons and then just reload and get them back right away. Also to avoid duplicate items since you could just trade a pokemon holding a rare item, then reload, then trade it back and look now you have two of those items, save again trade it back again and now you have three and so on (can pokemons still hold items? I haven't played pokemon since gameboy advance).
It's stupid but pokemon is very competitive and there are real world tournaments and junk like that so nintendo tries to make it hard to cheat (although in this time and age I doubt people will not be able to hack or patch the game soon if not already). But if you're a singleplayer gamer, then the limitations are even more stupid.
 
Considering trying out one of the popular MMO's. Either Secret World, WoW, or FF14. Any thoughts?

Well i meant by using the SD IF there wasn't enough space in the game's cartridge, but i don't think so that it's the case. There could still be a partial install in the SD anyway, remember that there's the e-shop version too

My immediate thought is "Don't!". But I really don't like MMO's so I will say go with the one you think suits your tastes better.
Do you like high fantasy? Go with WoW.
Do you like fantasy mixed with modern times? Go with Secret World.
Do you like modern Final Fantasy and japanese game style setting? Go with Final Fantasy XIV.
 
That is not sufficient info. More interested in specifics, like combat, story, gameplay, playerbase, etc.

I've played Vanguard and Age of Conan and City of Heroes in the past. I like Lovecraft so Secret World looks good, especially with the focus on solo and story as well as creative quest design. WoW has always interested me, but I don't know how hard it would be to get into it now...I want to try Final Fantasy, but I'm torn between the three.

Sometimes I wish there was a good Fallout MMO...
 
The one save file per game isn't really an anti cheat feature, the game is designed with trading in mind so getting multiples of rare items is kind of the natural flow of things and it isn't really cheating.
No I think the one save file per game was initially a technical limitation that then turned in tradition. Personally I wish they would do away with it and at least let you make a second save file on the SD card.

Also, Pokemon holding items is one of the most important aspects to competitive battling so yeah, they can and will always be able to hold items.
 
Just finished Zenith. A snarky aRPG that takes the piss out of the entire genre. The dialogue is great & the story is ok (though a bit predictable), too bad the damn technical side sucks. The combat is simplistic, the controls awkward, interface is troublesome.

But still worth playing. Did I mention your highest character stat is SARCASM and it -starts- at 999? ;)
 
I'm like 2/3 through Hyper Light Drifter. Very cool, it has the aRPG style of 2D Zelda games but it's very dang hard if you think spamming attack will get you through combat
 
Hyperdimension neptunia rebirth 3. Because it is actually pretty damn good.

Witcher 3 base game

Replaying NV once more
 
Stardew Valley at the moment with some Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines & Morrowind on the side.

I may consider checking out the new Final Fantasy game after proper reviews come out (or rather see if known critics of those games actually find less fault in it since I generally distrust mainstream review sites with regard to Final Fantasy)
 
Just finished SteamWorld Heist. Kinda fun, but lacks a bit of depth? Fine for a game on sale.

Also requested a Steam refund on The Uncertain. I like the story, but the damn thing is slow as balls and obnoxious as hell. I need something heavy to break off a pipe? There's a gas cannister just behind you you fuck, why can't I use that? There's a block of concrete not far away, why can't I use that?
I don't mind hunting for specific things in adventure games, but if the game tells me that I need something heavy, please don't tell me other heavy things are unsuited...
 
Got like 80% on Bully before i quit. The rest is farm this and that or do the same "radiant quests" a few times.

Bought Hope Lake for cheap on steam and it was quite fun for a puzzle/hidden objective game. Sadly i got a gamebreaking bug and even so the game is quite short.
Still worth it!
 
Underrail, the dialogue system in this game are kind of messy. Maybe its just the font

Play Secret World.
I don't know what WoW is now, but many years ago it felt like a chore after a while because you would login just to do your daily quests and farm and stuff like that. MMO's best part is the community and friends you might develop and in that WoW was good, but the game itself was just a chore.
 
Bought Doom in the sale. Discovered post-fact it had Denuvo. Refunded and bought Tales of Symphonia... remembered after buying that it also had DRM. Fortunately it seems they actually removed it from that one, however, so I kept it. Haven't played it properly yet because Civ 5 has eaten my life, plus I got a hankering for some Borderlands 2 on a platform that doesn't suck (PC, originally played it on PS3). So much better.
 
I'm playing the witcher 3 , Started off decent but I'm not too sure about the choises it sems to have plently of choise etc but then again I don't know how mcuh this tends to impact the game. I guess I will have to say the main story is pretty good though although the fighting isn't as fun as I though and the controls are pretty hard to learn
 
Picked up Secret World, Grim Dawn, Volume, and Legend of Grimrock 2 for 14 bucks. Secret World is definitely worth a look by my reckoning. There isn't another MMO like it. From what I have seen the quest design is unique enough. I'm not convinced with the combat/class system yet but we shall see.

Shadow Warrior on the PS4 is alright, but I really hate FPS games on controller. I don't see how people do it. It's like walking in quick sand. Funny I payed almost as much for this one as part two is going for on Steam. Not sure it did that well. Or Gamestop fucked me.

:)
 
I started playing Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes on GameCube last night as I plan to go through the first 3 games again.
I've already gone through some of it before (but alas, my save got corrupted) so I know it fixes a lot of the problems I have in terms of Gameplay with the original PS1 game. Cutscenes are over the top, but I kind of expected that.
I do feel you are a little overpowered, it's simply an easier version of the original games (I've been spotted once, but that was on the first screen and it was mostly my own bullshit).

I kinda wish this had got the HD treatment when they remastered the games for 360 and PS3 (if only so 360 players can get the first 5 games or so on one console).

So yeah, it's basically a better looking Metal Gear Solid 1 with the improved mechanics.

I never cared for Twin Snakes due to the cutscenes. That and the music being changed alters the game beyond my liking. The graphics and controls were better of course, but every single other things I can think of was worse. Nothing beats the original except for that outdated control scheme...

Ok, I am really liking Grim Dawn. Once I opened up the second class I saw the potential. I'm going with a Soldier/Occultist build. Hexing and smashing sounds about right. Too bad the atmosphere doesn't give off more of that Diablo 1 vibe. Closer to Diablo 2 leaning towards 3 in aesthetics.
