whatchu playing now

Watched a playthrough of that recently, good luck with those effing puzzles!

i beat that in 95 w/ no hints! unlike that fucking MI1 flint-dam puzzle (this 11yo didn't know that you could use flint and gunpowder to make an explosion) (actually iirc that one had a second solution too - you could use the telescopic glass w/ the sun to light the gunpowder too)

See I thought that I had completed it back then too but playing through again I only remember the early puzzles! My wife now also has manflu so she's claimed the ps4.

I played it so much I could probably write a walk through from memory.

started up the Saturn version of SOTN yesterday. kinda fun trying to read the katakana whenever i get a new item.

Told myself I can't buy My Summer Car until I get a job.

This game looks amazing to me and I don't know why. The strange adult thuggery survival part mixed with the challenge (and it really looks tough) of building a car from scratch somehow appeals to me right now.

Anyone tried it yet?

Okay you get to drive a tractor, I'm in for sure.

I played it so much I could probably write a walk through from memory

ha, i could do this for monkey island 2, which i loved so much when i played it for the first time as an 11-year old that i couldn't bear to solve the last puzzle for a couple of days because i didn't want it to ever end

my summer car looks properly deranged in the best possible way

also i feel like i should play it just because it fits the theme of my current screenname

finally got myself to try to finish the witcher 3 rather than wandering around finishing the final question marks. the end missions are pretty cool, like in all my idling i kind of forgot the storyline, but the ending was good in a sort of bad movie kind of way. couldn't believe how easy the final bosses were.

playing through Inside for a second time with my downstairs neighbor, she is hilarious and freaking out when the dogs rip the kids throat out. so many good moments and puzzles in that game, great to watch them again.

so much battlefield1 i gotta stop

big thanks to difficult listening hour for the advice deus ex human revolution. after that crappy opening level it gets great, sneaking around the police station - exactly the kind of game i love. maybe not quite as good as the recent splinter cells and mgs5 but vv close (what other games fit into this kind of style?). but yeah, loving it, thanks for convincing me to give it another shot!

looking forward to playing the latest one after this - is it more of the same? also im playing this in ghost mode, not killing anyone, not even knocking anyone out. can i go through the entire game playing like this? really hoping it doesn't do a MGS5 and get boringly samey halfway through

I've been playing Deus Ex: MD too. Had an interestingly odd experience playing this and having "Pervert's Guide to Ideology" on my other screen.

You can ghost thru a lot of the missions, with the exception of the side one requiring you to expressly knock somebody out and drag them to another area.

One of the things I didn't like about Watch Dogs 2 is that the stealth mechanic was so underdeveloped; you couldnt drag a body anywhere.

I like all the e-books strewn about the levels for the world-building detail it adds, but I wish they'd include more realworld Great Books/Classic Lit source material. It's like finding copies of _The Man Who Was Thursday_ in the original game.

pac-man256

probably the pinnacle of that stealth/ghost style game is alien isolation. when oh when will the sequel (or even dlc) come out

i've been sucked back into CK2 send help

*murders your only CK2 heir*

it was the only way out mordy, the only way

more like murders my only 50 CK2 heirs - i'm in an elective monarchy and my family is HUGE

or maybe steal some duchies and then you can vote my family out of power.

never gonna happen tho. i've got like 19K personal demesne levy now.

just played the new DOOM for a bit. looks like everyone was right about it being an awesome game!

getting heavy Metroid Prime feels here! the combat is very acrobatic - you will be flipping around from enemy to enemy. it is easy to die in just a few hits, at least on Ultra Violence. love the lack of health auto-recharge. this game is much like Bloodborne in rewarding you in health for being pro-active. great level design too! right now i am crawling Alien-style through some airducts to get past a deadly red laser that is blocking my progress. previously i was on the windswept ("Not scientifically accurate" -Neil Degrass Buzzkll) the deep red sands of mars dotted with eerie green space station lightposts and satanic candle displays hidden in caverns amidst the ruined industrial facilities.

a very cool and arcadey HD rendition of DOOM!

Trails Of Cold Steel on my vita. Exceptionally long mix of Persona / Harry Potter / Attack On Titan / Suikoden. Only 10 hours or so in but really enjoying it, lives up to the hype.

welp, i spent way too much time with http://thefounder.biz/play/

it's sort of a mix of kairosoft games with clickers (don't worry, this would be my secondary or tertiary comparison, not primary)

i just bought a PS3 a friend found at a thrift store that came with Metal Gear Solid 4. this morning i picked up a copy of Demon's Souls and am playing that right now. it is really amazing! they have pretty much the whole Dark Souls/Bloodborne formula figured out from the start. really looking forward to playing through this!

I was clearing out PS+ games on my PS4 that I have no intention of playing, and spotted Kings Quest. I'm really enjoying it, though I've not finished the first chapter yet.

Just read a review saying resident evil 7 compares well to alien isolation, is this right? Never played any of that series before but absolute loved A:I

2scary4me

i hear they've definitely been influenced a lot by it. meant to be a major return to form for the series.

another PS+ freebie that i found a lot of fun, flawed technically but with a ton of nice ideas was Stories: Path Of Destiny. horrendous name, but fun concept and well executed.

I really enjoyed "Stories..." though I paid money for it like a chump

made it past the first couple bosses of Demon's Souls. highly recommend this game! Dark Souls/Bloodborne/all of it started here, I am constantly surprised by the things popping up that i thought we later inventions. Cthulu wizards are here, the dragon on the bridge is here, the rolling skeletons are here. gameplay is really fun and the level design is fantastic. weirdly the other Soul games this feels closest to is probably DS3.

Demon's probably remains my 2nd favorite of the series after Dark Souls 1. Great game.

adam have you played slain back from hell. really punishing castlevania sidescroller w/ metal themes and sdtrk by some guy from celtic frost

Picked up Wind Waker HD off the shelf to pass some time, unsurprisingly the WiiU controller is integrated only in excellent ways.

Also started playing Grunt Man-Sword Darksiders, which I got on a Steam sale ages ago, and was amused to find out it's largely the same game.

i havent played Slain, ive seen it though, and it does look amazing. how does it play? i will have to check it out later!

Having completed The Witness I downloaded a free phone Sokoban puzzle game. Stuck on level 1.

Finished Shin Megami Tensei 4 Apocalypse. I know these games are super niche but I dread the day when some ultra conservative parent discovers that the game little Jonny plays on his Nintendo is about killing all the Christian angels, Satan and then YHVH, with a side trip to murder Krishna who is admittedly being a dick. Ban this sick filth!

resident evil! One of the monsters looks just like the old lady in the bathroom from the shining

So she's a sexy nudey lady until you kiss her?

OLD lady

But there's some transmogrification in other parts

Some Steam backlogging lately... Pirate Pop Plus, a simple score chaser done in the retro-Game Boy/Game & Watch style that showed up in a Humble Monthly a while back, and Before the Echo (fka Sequence), a scifi-themed rhythm game with goofy trendy teenspeak (circa 2011) that I never got around to finishing because I didn't realize until now that it controls much better with a dual stick controller over keyboard/mouse.

Reached down the digestion tract of a corpse with a severed head and retrieved the blue key card

firewatch gets pretty dark, huh?

jesus its really hard to get through a work day with Horizon Zero Dawn and Zelda on the go.... and then next month... Persona 5.

not to mention still not played Nier, Yakuza 0, Resident Evil 7... this year is a year of gold so far.

i really want to play Yakuza 0 - but i assume it'll be ~$30 soon enough

i'm having a kinda mixed experience with horizon zero dawn - the gameplay basics are solid and it is frequently breathtakingly good-looking but i wish it had something like shadow of mordor's nemesis system to distinguish it a bit more from other open-world action survival games

I've somehow landed back playing Test Drive U2, which is a bit of a flop as a game (races too easy and online play has been halted) but I've become obsessed with completing the discovery section collecting scrap pieces and photographs.

Also decided to finish Delta Force Land Warrior

oh and of course Farming

Zelda will have to wait...
