General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

Me too. It has a lot to it too. The various FF soundtracks on the radio are a nice touch. The cooking and camping is surprisingly well integrated into the game. It serves a real purpose. Combat is fun. Voice acting is good. Graphics are mindblowing. Nothing to dislike so far. Enjoying going on hunts kinda like in FF12 in some ways.

They would have to fuck up later in the game (which is possible) for me to change my mind.

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 Nothing beats the original except for that outdated control scheme...

I enjoyed it for the most part. I found it fixed a lot of the issues with the original game (such as backtracking and aiming).
It does make the game a lot easier, which is a shame as I found the boss fight with Rex to be extremely easy.

Yeah the cutscenes are over the top, but I kind of expect that in a metal gear game really. So it doesn't bother me as much.

I prefer Grey Fox in the original, he sounds like he is in constant pain and it fits the character very well. In TTS, he just sounds like another person. I still think the Voice Acting for him is great and I seem to be alone on the internet on preferring the original.
Still, they cut out my favourite line in the game and replaced it with a weaker one.

I was going to play MGS2, but I remembered the Metal Gear boss battle and don't want to put myself through that again.

So I might just play a Final Fantasy (either 7 or Type-0).

Just bought Lightning Returns so I guess I'll do a XIII play through sometime soon (I like XIII, shoot me).

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.

Went and grabbed the bundle as well, will check out Secret World. I remember seeing it once before and thinking it looked neat, but then forgot about it, oops.
 
Let me know if you like it and we can play.

So yeah Final Fantasy 15 is the best one I have played in years. No question asked. It reminds me of MGS5 (open world wise) thus far. The car isn't a detriment to exploration since it is limited to the road, so that answered one issue I had.

I now have too many games to play. Nap time.

:)

Coolio :) Downloaded it, now just need to find time to actually play.
 
It is largely soloable so enjoy. Use the browser function if you get stuck. It doesn't hold your hand like most. I chose Illuminati and Daemon server I think.
 
I feel left out of FFXV now.

Then again, the only one I've completed was the first so I need to get on that.
 
Very enjoyable game though, Prompto's optimism is my only faint complaint really. I allready completed it in a "complete it" playthrough, I am now in a completionist playthrough with Japanese audio (with English subtitles of course)
I keep wondering, why do some Japanese men roar when they speak? They must be shredding their vocal chords, and I believe I've even read some anecdote about Japanese men having a higher average of ruined vocal chords precisely because of that aggressive vocalization
I also liked [end game description in the spoiler!]
that our protagonist change from J-Emo boy band look, to more angry-scruffy Bruce Lee look, for the end climax
 
At Chapter 14 so I can't risk reading that, but I am considering beating it as opposed to finishing up the side quests. I know there is a lot of post game content to work on. The story seems fine for the most part, not sure what so many people are complaining about in the reviews. I understand what is going on and character motivations, so I'm wondering if something has yet to happen that is poorly explained, or people don't pay attention.
 
I fear I'm probably no better than a FO3-fan in this regard. I only ever played FFIX before, and have little experience with the series. To be completely frank though, I expected *even more* content, but all in all, I'm fine with it. It has great mood, and I enjoy the odd peculiarities like cooking and fishing :D
 
So, Zegh and Toront, how's Final Fantasy 15 compared to 9 to 13? The chill mood and the more casual characterization I saw in videos really makes it interesting, but I have never been a fan of the emo bullshit bombastic ridiculousness of Final Fantasy from X to XIII (I played IX but I was like 9 when I played it so I barely understood anything, liked the combat of X and eve nX-2 but wasn't a fan of the combat in XII and XIII) does it have a more nunaced narrative? Do yo uget extra party members? How does combat develop in the late game? You can give me spoilers I don't really mind those.
