whatchu playing now

^ 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.

SOLD

lol

yeah. it's basically just an emulator you can play on your tv. there's probably already a way to do that. but this seems like it'll make it super easy to do, and the 32GB card can be loaded up with roms. i'm hoping this thing will become my archive for everything up to PSX-era

it actually does look pretty cool, and the idea of having a cute lil plug-and-play box is way more appealing than fucking around with a raspberry pi or whatever to do the same thing diy-style. can it reach the dazzling commercial heights of the ouya? only time will tell (unless it gets busted pre-release by Nintendo or whoever for being a straight-up piracy box)

yeah, that's definitely the biggest risk. apparently it comes with 15 games, which they'll announce during the months leading up to the release. i don't really care which 15 because i plan on just loading it up with my own roms immediately, but it will be interesting to see how the licensing works and all that.

calling it now: it'll be 15 copies of bible adventures

yyyyyyyyeah, i'm into this sadly

Watch Dogs 2

that retro machine is just a raspberry pi with retropie installed http://retropie.org.uk/

which is ok if you can't be bothered to roll your own

Almost tempted but still don't see any benefit from using my pc I already have.

i'm playing watch dogs 2 as well - somehow, even although it's an improvement on the original in every way, i'm still not enjoying it very much :(

pretty sure the 15 games won't be roms, they'll be made for the system or freeware or indie games they get ppl to release versions of on the console.

yeh there's plenty of indie developers out there making new NES/SNES etc. games who are more than happy to put their stuff on any new hardware - people like CollectorVision and Piko Interactive were up for putting their games on that super shady Coleco Chameleon ffs

stardew valley finally came out for ps4 today

"...just one more day..."

been playing steep on xbone - it's really fun, kinda like a cross between a more-chill ssx and pilotwings

i haven't played much of the actual structured game, i'm just enjoying scooting around the slopes on snowboard / wingsuit / paraglider

rocket league still lots of fun. hoops has really upped my aerial game. they have some christmas-themed snow added to some areas too so yay

arenas even

finally got around to sunless sea, is as great as expected

Overwatch. It's like I'm Jimmy Stewart in the last act of Vertigo, dreaming of the old Team Fortress 2

Watching Westworld + my high level of suggestibility = me finally starting Red Dead Redemption

(Can't connect to any online servers so I guess that ship has sailed?)

oh man, rdr is so good. my favourite rockstar game for sure

i hear it's on PS Now for PC and have been thinking of trying that out. has anyone here tried it? as a lover of emulators i don't really mind lag unless it's a huge issue.

The Battle of Polytopia

yeah I love Polytopia, good quick simple civ fix.

Tower of Fortune
Tower of Fortune 2
soon: Tower of Fortune 3

as pixel art tappity tap RNG games go these things are great. total brain check out

mario run. it's............. good.

the black coins are tough

waiting for a new pc monitor.

so just listening to Slayer. A lot.

Beat Watch Dogs 2 very very early this morning. Good but mixed.

Played a bit of Pony Island, which is a good joke so far.

Picked up the latest Deus Ex. Realized during the opening briefing scene that dude isn't trying to do Keanu, he's doing Snake Plissken(as featured thru Keanu).

Filtered thru, rather

Finished Witcher 3 and Inside. Both excellent. Now playing Mankind Divided and it's also excellent!

Geralt is a better gruff character than Jensen tho.

take the time to break into apartments and wander around and be a dick in new deus ex--the main story is kinda dumb and ends abruptly (imo) but the side stuff is real fun

i was thinking how great it would be if the witcher guys were making the deus ex games instead and then i rememberd that they kinda are!

Can't stop playing pro evo at the moment

The Witness. Started off amazed, now amazed and frustrated, graaargh. Don't want to read the dedicated thread for fear or spoilers.

there was only one puzzle I had to look up in inside. the one where you climb a chain, hit a button and the chain starts moving from right to left... I was going down the wrong alley completely with that one

Ledge if you want some nonspoilery suggestions/advice just let me know! I also hit a wall a few times but was lucky to have a small group of friends that to play through it together and brainstorm.

Anybody else playing Minecraft IP Theft Simulator Dragon Quest Builders? Can't decide whether it's actually a good game or not but I've been playing a lot of it, and it's pretty decent handheld fodder.

xp thanks! I think i've still got enough unexplored terrain to be getting on with for now. i am starting to wonder if it's some kind of self-help course disguised as a videogame though...

wow, titanfall 2's singleplayer campaign is really really good - probably the most fun I've had with a shooter since portal 2?

not that portal is really a shooter but you know what i mean

Titanfall 2 singleplayer is incredibly fun - best single player FPS in years and years

What games is Titanfall 2 most like? It sounds a bit like Crysis, is that right?

Also, what kind of game is Mass Effect and its sequels? Looking for a kind of FEAR/STALKER/MGS5/Crysis type game at the moment, am I barking up the wrong tree with that (and T2)?
