whatchu playing now

Fifa 97!

tried the doom demo. the controls seem really basic but i guess thats a good thing. looks nice n smooth but i'll probably wait for price drop. also doing the latest witcher 3 dlc

OG Doom and Doom II and Duke Nukem 3D and Star Wars: Dark Forces. God damn ID for never porting Quake to PS3 or Vita. God damn them to hell.

assassin's creed: black flag

the controls seem really basic

what are you looking for, the crafting interface

(wise to wait for a price drop i think; it's a complete blast but the multiplayer's kind of a feint so it's a single-player game you almost certainly won't play through more than twice and i doubt that's a $60 value.)

didnt mean it as a complaint, its more just being used to destiny since i don't do fps much

it's bethesda so i expect to be able to grab it for $15 by the end of the year

wishlisted for inevitable bundle inclusion

whatever zappi's playing, i want to play it

The Witness??

oh ok i don't want to play that

yes The Witness! Some really clever puzzle design, or at least it makes you feel really clever when you solve it.

Just added the Witness based on that screenshot:)

Because I am nothing if cutting edge, I've just finished the Beginner's Guide - I liked it a lot more than JimD and forks, though partly _because_ like Jim I didn't buy into the autobio nature at all. It's def. on the "games are art" spectrum though - like it costs as much, and lasts about as long, as a good thinky movie.

was a bit disappointed with the ending of The Witness but was expecting that tbh, still a fun puzzler tho.
now playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions (SMT backwards, I see what you did there), which so far feels like Digital Devil Saga on industrial strength SSRIs. Funny how this the first Atlus RPG in HD, only took them a decade.

what that sounds fun. is there a good core of JRPGs on the WiiU? would like to remain neutral on xbone vs ps4 as long as possible, but seeing as wiiU is nearing end of gen, it'll be a good value system for a while.

nah just this and XCX. PS4 is the way to go if you want console JRPGs in the near future, although who knows how the next Nintendo hardware will work out. There has also been a steady increase in JRPG releases on Steam recently, whether C-Tier console stuff like Agarest/Neptunia or re-releases of classics like Grandia II. Would love to see Atlus bring their stuff to PC :/

Man, the Vita is hot shit for JRPGs on the go, if you didn't already know. They seem to comprise most of the new releases these days.

why stay agnostic on xbone v ps4? seems obv that ps4 won this gen.

boom

I won't buy xbone/ps4 until 2017 at the earliest, and I don't know what's going to change with the new buffed models

also I have only played a sony machine once, for about 30 minutes, smuggler's run on a ps2 I think; otherwise never seen a ps1/2/3/4 in person even. weird! I've had an xbox & a 360 and am building up a library of free xbone games through gold on 360 as well

but if ps4 ends up being the way to go in 2017 or so, then so be it.

dude wtf

if nothing else the original PS was pretty ubiquitous

I've never owned a Nintendo system aside from a Game Boy but I would've had to have been raised in a cage that was stuffed in a crawlspace to have never seen or played an NES.

I admittedly have a pretty weird system progression
Nintendo -> Game Gear (lol) -> SNES -> PS -> Dreamcast -> ... -> PS2 -> (large time lapse) PSP -> -> PS3 -> PS4

kind of drops off and then I just keep buying Sony crap

I feel you: Master System > Game Boy > Genesis > ...... late-period PS1 > late-period PS2 > late-period PS3 & Vita (> late-period PS4 probably sometime in like 2020).

PSX -> N64 -> Dreamcast -> PS2 -> Gamecube -> Wii -> WiiU

Lots over overlaps between contemporary systems of course.

I'm still enjoying Battleborn. It suffers in comparison to the thematically-similar Overwatch in terms of gameplay and art design, of course, but there are plenty of good ideas and fun moments.

2600->colecovision->nes->snes->n64->dreamcast->xbox->360

I was in grad school, getting married, having kids in the ps/ps2 years, kinda was in a cave

we all have our video game dark times in life

trs80 -> 2600 -> intellivision -> nes -> snes -> ps1 -> ps2 -> dreamcast -> gba -> PC ->gamecube -> ps3 -> wii -> xbox -> psp -> android -> iphone -> ipad -> ouya -> mac -> ps4 -> vita

nes + pc (90s - early 00s) -> nothing -> ps2 -> 360 -> nothing ( -> maybe ps4 in future?)

i think i missed a few on mine tbh

All I remember about my first console was that it played Buck Rogers and I think it had a keyboard. It might have been the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A, or maybe the VIC-20?

After that:
NES > Gameboy > SNES ... ... ... > PS2 > XBOX360 > PS3 > PS4

can't remember if the 360 or the nds was first, whichever was first marks the first one i bought "as a professional."

2600 - game boy - snes - ps1 - gba - ps2 - (nds/360?) - psp - vita - ps3 - ps4

always been mostly a pc gamer and consolewise was a nintendo loyalist until buying a used ps2 in college, so my progression is lame:

nes - snes - n64 - wii - ps2 - ps3 (mostly as a blu-ray player)

i think it's way more important to have a used ps2 in college than it is to have a laptop

Handhelds um I've had one of everything Nintendo have made since the Gameboy Colour but I'm not sure where the purchases slot into that timeline. Plus a Vita. Oh and I paid £10 for a virtual boy in 1999.

Shit, I don't know how I left 2600 > Commodore 64 off the beginning of my timeline. Essential, those.

(I know it isn't a console but I probably played more C64 games than I did on all of my previous gen consoles combined.)

Did no one else have a Master System? We still have that thing hooked up at my grandma's house (along with the 2600 iirc).

I think mine is something like
BBC micro
Acorn Electron
Atari ST
SNES x2
N64
PS1
Dreamcast
PS2
Wii
360
Also a bunch of desktop and laptop PCs over the years.

Oh yeah and a Gamecube in there somewhere too!

I've never touched a Microsoft console, and aside from minimal time spent with a friend's SNES and playing some Just Dance on my sister's Wii, I've had hardly any Nintendo interaction since the NES/Game Boy days.

Oh yeah I was taking the PC as read (do we take the PC as read here)? PC from about the time of the PS2, Mobile from about the time of the Wii. Also a Mac before that (lol, except for Marathon and its sequel)

this is reminding me that sometime soon i need to kick off the 4th gen ILX poll

Then our work is done.

I picked up Cities: Skylines via Steam's current sale and am pretty into it so far.
