whatchu playing now

Also, Powerstone.

powerstone was amazing

cosign chu chu rocket and powerstone, but it's all about the multiplayer with both of them

oh for sure - multiplayer powerstone is some of the best fun i've ever had with a game

does anyone remember a short level strategy game on the PC that i think had an egyptian theme? it was called something like papyrus or nile or pharoah i think (but it's not the sierra city building game pharoah). it's maybe from about 10 years ago and is less grand strategy than like small board strategy?

thought for a second it might be named after an egyptian god - but osiris and anubis aren't coming up with it and isis is, as you might expect, impossible to google.

any Dreamcast recommendations?

in addition to the ones listed upthread, I have much love for Skies of Arcadia (or play it on Dolphin), Fire Pro Wrestling D, and Typing of the Dead (also available on Steam if you can't track down the DC keyboard).

stoked for dragon quest builders. just downloaded it. anyone else take the plunge?

MGSV. started using Rocket Punch regularly on FOBs and it is a game changer.

maybe one of the best weapons in any game ever. in MGSV you have a robot arm, and if you level it up enough, you can shoot it, controlling it in first-person. it is undetectable by enemies, meaning you can just hide somewhere and shoot that thing and turn around corners, fly up stairs, etc., knocking out an enemy. usually it will instantly stun an enemy. what's more, it will keep going after it knocks somebody out, meaning if there are a bunch of bag guys lined up to get you, you can just Rocket Punch them one after the other. amazing.

that's awesome

if the idea of playing a turn based tactical rpg style soccer game appeals - and to whom would it not, frankly - this game is a singular delight in a curiously uncrowded market: http://store.steampowered.com/app/375530

started zero time dilemma today

fuck those games are fucking dark

playing that series is one of my dreams. someday...

baffled at the idea that anything about sonic adventure was in any way daunting

welp, still trying to finish nuclear throne

i got to the nuclear throne a few times but never beat it. and once you beat the throne u start looping so there's really no end to it anyway

Mini Metro ON IPAD is terrific, as you organise public transport on cities familiar and not: you start with London, Paris and New York maps, suiting many readers here I imagine, and unlock Berlin, Melbourne, Hong Kong, and others as you progress. Games are quick as you end up with overcrowded stations but you learn and improve your plans. And it's gorgeous to look at, particularly if you love to look at public transports maps already as I do.

Mini Metro is great and meditative and has great procedural sound designed by Disasterpeace

titanfall multiplayer is a blastttt

the campaign is supposed to be good as well (i only played through the first couple steps there thus far, mp is too significant a distraction)

Realm Grinder

beat zero time dilemma today, still as dark as it was a few days ago when i said i was playing it

titanfall is intense

Watched Starcraft 2 blizzcon finals yesterday, great best of 5 between Byun (T) and Dark (Z). Really put me in the mood to play again. It's all about that micro...

Owlboy is...good?

It's like Super Mario Bros. 2 with Zelda-lite dungeons

The aesthetic reminds me of Secret of Mana though, that might be the kicker

it does look good. i've been tempted.

Based on the first 4 hours it seems like the most blockbuster SNES game imaginable

Played 3 online SC games yesterday before I hit an asshole who "rofl"ed at my 5 minute push, destroying my shit with siege tank and misspelled turret, and remarked "meh" to my "gg." Seriously, fuck these guys

Sorry I guess this should be on the mothership connection thread

nothing more frustrating than bad sports in online games

Imagining building & playing that in real life O_O

I appreciate what he's doing but I couldn't play that for more than a couple of minutes

Yeah, I don't think it's meant for hours of gameplay or anything. It's kinda cheesy to mention but it captures the "trippy" thing better than just about anything I've seen. Wish it had sound.

that would break me

i guess it's possible to just play a Shepard Tone youtube in the background as you play, to provide the full whoooAooooaaoaoaaahhhhh experience

Currently I am itching to play Bloodborne but my son seems to have settled in for the afternoon playing The Last Of Us. Have suggested he buy his own ps4, an idea was met only by a sarcastic grunt.

final fantasy explorers for 3ds which is basically a dumbed down monster hunter game play wise, with an extensive job system and really fun online mp. it's a little repetitive but also really nice to mindlessly kill huge monsters

INSIDE

I'm revisiting Delta Force a bit lately. This was the first game I ever played multiplayer online, through a dial up, and it was fantastic.

Only single player mode now though, but it's ticking the nostalga box I need right now.

my downstairs neighbor is a gamer in her early twenties who hasn't had a system since the last gen. i invited her up and she played through Journey over two nights. it was tremendous fun to watch her do it. She kept making "shuushhhhhh" noises as the lil' guy slalomed down hills.
Gonna have her play Limbo next. Then maybe we can play The Witness together and I can finally have a go at it for real.

wow

wailing on free weekend noobs in TF2. absolutely wrecking house. my k/d's like 6.0 today alone

i finished Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

i did not like Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

it was free

^ did that a couple of weekends ago and nearly posted the same thing. I was fascinated with how boring it was.

i was fascinated with the design decision to implement the slowest walking speed of all time. that single decision increased the length of the game from 45 minutes to 3-4 hours

i will say, though, if an indie-ish game like Rapture can at least feature decent voice acting, all the AAA titles that come out each year with garbage voice acting have absolutely no excuse.

this is going to be like the ouya, but even better

i went for the Early Bird Deluxe Set 32GB

How long can I play?

As long as you can stay awake. We ship the system with an AC Adaptor.
