What video games are you currently playing?

GTA V is open world - do anything you want - known as a virtual 'sandbox', check youtube for plenty of videos. You might enjoy DayZ - known as the best running simulator there is - again a sandbox, but definately not a hack/slash fest.

The ArmA series has massive 'maps', Altis being the biggest (270 km sq and really pretty), you can just roam about, or add bases, vehicles, just about anything you want - including rabbits which are playable, making the scale even more impressive.

 

i think you'd like far cry 3 a lot, i sure am. it's pirates instead of zombies, but there's also a ton of wildlife to deal with on the island and a ton of awesome little caves (some underwater) and bunkers from ww2 to explore. plus there's vehicles to get around with.

also, i played about an hour of the new tomb raider and it seems a bit more on rails than far cry, but it is absolutely gorgeous.

 

Working on the Mass Effect Trilogy (I am about to get ME3 and all the DLC so I can avoid the "shitty ending" everyone's always bitching about), and re-playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution because I bought the Director's Cut. Also I dabble in Left 4 Dead 2 on Steam and also just downloaded CounterStrike: Source and Global Offensive, but haven't played them yet. Wanting to finish Dear Esther, but I'm so damn ADD

Oh, and I want to play Crysis 3, just to see if my rig can handle it without melting my CPU/GPU - isn't that what the Cyrsis series is basically made for?

 

Without any spoilers the DLC barely changes anything in the ending. There are one or two extra scenes and a halfassed voiceover that's mildly different for some options but it's still ~90% the same cutscenes with a Red, Green, or Blue filter.

 

Freecell.

 

Playing Fallout 3. Completely impossible and pointless on the PS3 with those controllers but damn fun on the PC with the proper keyboard/mouse combination. Playing the 'evil' route but I may try another time with the wussy good route. it just pains me deeply to see people hording stimpacks, bottlecaps, and other valuables and knowing I that cannot just kill them on the spot and take the lot.
My current count is 105 corpses eaten I think, and something like 300+ people killed. A bit low in my opinion but I am working on it...

 

Aw... Should I still play it?

 

It's worth it for the rest of the story but the gameplay is like two seperate developers worked on it. You will be able to tell the exact moment when they had to start shoving it out the door, ready or not. Don't feel bad if you're driven to cheating for a few battles. Some of the enemies are glitchy and cheap enough that regardless of how good you are you can get trapped in instakill scripted attacks.

Also make sure to exhaust the conversation options in the citadel after each mission, there's stuff you don't want to miss.

 

i picked up free-to-play Loadout on steam last week and am having a blast. i love that i can make a double jumping sniper with a heavy gatling gun as a backup weapon and the beam weapon i built feels like fighting w/ a light saber while i dive and dodge around.

 

Found my Zoo Tycoon disk. w00t!






Yes, I'm 12.

 

Until the release of Star Citizen, I will be playing Final Fantasy XIV.

I don't know how she did it, but I'm trapped in FF14 anyway!

 

Dammit... I don't have the time to get addicted to that, I hope it's not as fun as it looks.

 

I've been on a MMORPG run for quite some time now, avoiding single player games. The last two single player games on PC I played were Mass Effect 3 and Bioshock Infinite. I've got the DLC for both, and need to get back in and play it soon! I've also got at least 8 games on steam I've been meaning to play, old like Assassin's Creed and Prototype, and new like Walking Dead. I'm about to start an older game I recently got and look forward to playing: Indigo Prophecies. I've only heard good things. As for MMOs, I'm playing The Secret World a lot, as in, every day if I can. Its a fantastic game. Different from any other MMO I've gotten my hands on, and that makes it so exciting to play. And I keep adding more players to the game each month. *evil cackle* Besides, its free to play!

 

Realized I hadn't checked out my GOG account in a while, and I've been happily replaying Evil Genius for the past few days. Good times--except when my minions piss me off.

 

I was hardcore WoW for many years but stopped when I lost my job.
It would have been to easy to climb into the game and not come out.

 

for all you old-schoolers out there and anyone into puzzlers and can live w/ the dated graphics, battle.net put up The Lost Vikings today for free...

rock n' roll racing is in too but idk who'd like a dated racing game unless it was the arcade version of outrun or super sprint or something

 

X-Com: UFO Defense (1994) with Open X-Com fan upgrade.

Jagged Alliance 2 (1999) with V1.13 fan upgrade.

I love old games. Hot-hot chess-with-guns.

If you like turn-based strategy, do it.
