OP has spoken.

TBQH, we should make this section into a hybrid video games/board games deal instead. We've never really been super strict about what lands here before and balls if we start now.

Awesome Bro

Lego Marvel on PS4, I've been playing it quite a bit, and it's REALLY fun... I may even make it my first PS4 platinum, lol :P (Was originally going to be Resogun, but it's pretty fucking hard at times!)
 
Papers please.
It's novel. Actually, it's like a mystery/adventure/light novel but with actual gameplay.
Issue is that I don't get that much fun from it. It's fun, but... meh. I'm impressed, but I'm not interested.

Risk of Rain.
SO HARD.

Incredible adventures of vanhelsing. Again.
I like the genre. I tried hardest mode and I'm like nah. I do melee, and hardest difficulty + melee ain't fun.

Winter voice.
God damn, if only you moved faster this would be much more fun. Not bad as it is. Very provoking. Thoughtful.

More civ 5, obviously.

Evoland. Fun until you realize it sucks. Nostalgia trip wears off, yo.

Recettear - item shop. BLARGH. It's fun. Strawberry would prolly like it a lot, actually. But... idk. I grow tedious of its mechanics. Isn't my favorite battle system (not much is besides RPGs and loot-based arpgs tbh)

Hero of the kingdom. Facebook game that's not a facebook game. It's... kinda fun. Clicking on things over and over. Things happen. Objectives get completed, I get reward. Badda bam, badda bum.
 
Euro Truck Simulator 2.

:fap:
 
Finally finished Ar tonelico 2. Playtime 52 hours. The last 20 hours I just button smashed my way through conversations. Rolling my eyes during unnecessary flashbacks. Dialog was terrible and repetitive. "I love you because...blah blah blah...and that's why I love you". The game itself is plagued with bugs and inconsistencies. The 3D environments don't move at the same angles as the sprites which are 8-directional; Idk what they were thinking.
It's a ps2 game, but you need an HD set up to even read the battle display and menu items. They didn't bother adjusting the menu tabs for english text, hell they could have used icons to replace kanji. But instead they broke up words into 2 lines like
Ingre Consu Equip
dient mables ment

It's not just the localization issues, the game just couldn't find a balance between battles, crafting, story progression, and the character visual novel parts. The sad thing is I spend hours crafting, but I wasn't spending it hunting and gathering or puzzling over item management like in other games. It was just walking in and out of areas to trigger the scenes to get the crafting recipes and then button smashing through the resulting text where they have to name their creations. All the consumable items are jokes anyways, but it's sorta required to get the talk topics needed to advance the side stories. I feel like there could have been a more elegant to go about all that.
 
I began playing Crisis Core again but hooked my psp up to my TV :shades:

I also started playing DmC.
EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Story is just. No.
Gameplay is very yes.
Ninja theory have a knack of creating great gameplay, great visuals but terrible stories.
 

Mega Flare

Awesome Bro

Been playing gt6 on the old ps3. And gonna start Ys for vita today. Havent had much gaming time recently due to working alot and visting dad at hospital
 
Ordered Ar Tonelico 3, should get here next week. Planning a binge game session. If it doesn't get here, I guess I'll be developing something for the blues contest.

Edit: Nope. Looks like that's not going to happen. I was really looking forward to being alone and playing video games all week. But now it's the complete opposite since my mom hurt herself so my parents will be spending their vacation at home. yay. I'll just be over here crying.

They're driving on the wrong side of the road.
It's actually really annoying as you go between the UK and Europe, driving both left and right hand drive!

Just reinstalled the Sims 2 but can't get back into it. I was such a big Sims fan I own every Sims 1 game :(
 
So I started playing Tails of Xillia and man this is a great game. I'm only a short way in but holy mother Joseph and Mary they put a lot of effort into it.
The dialogue is iffy at time but then at others it's good.
I love the battle system too!
