    Default What are you playing right now?

    We have threads like this for books and music... why not games?

    What are you playing right now, and how is it?

    As of right now, my current focus is on The Surge. Was on sale for $25 so figured may as well get it at a decent price.

    I get on my 3DS every so often to push the story ever so slightly forward in the delightful Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked and also trudging through Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne on Hard (definitely one of the hardest RTS campaigns there is) and also Dragon Age: Origins.

    I started way too many things at once, but I'm trying my best to push forward... between timewasters like Overwatch.

    At the moment, mostly Hearthstone and Marvel vs Capcom Infinite. Marvel's great fun, I love playing Dante in particular, even if I'm not sure who I prefer for a teammate. Unlike its predecessor, the online's pretty good, too.

    And Hearthstone's, well, same as always. I don't play a ton these days, but I get in some matches to do my quests here and there, and hit the Brawls each week.

    Wow, that is a slog. I remember dropping my Hard run on the last mission of the Undead campaign, on the original W3. Granted, I wasn't a very good player, but still, it was a slog.

    On a more related note to the thread, I'm playing Curse of the Necrodancer: Amplified, right now, because it's Necrodancer and it's awesome.

    Path of Exile and Dota 2, mostly. Last of Us and Dangonronpa V3 when my friends are over. Tried Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes in VR. That was pretty nifty.

    On PC, I just finished Mark of the Ninja, which was utterly delightful. It does everything I like about stealth games, but with the twist of being in 2D, which is done really well. I don't know how I missed this until now, it was amazing.

    On console, I've been playing entirely too much Titanfall 2 multiplayer for the past month. It's a lot of fun, but I'm starting to get burned out and I think it's time for something new.

    Jagged Alliance 2 with the 1.13 mod. I see what the hype is about, very well made, I understand it’s a classic, but holy moley the rampant racism and sexism is wearing me out. I hope we’ll see a spiritual successor that picks up on some of the absolutely wonderful game design.

    ... so now I’m just waiting for the new DLC for Crusader Kings which is more into depicting the cruelty of darker times than it is into actually being casually racist and sexist.

    Deus Ex is arguably my favorite reviewed game on my favorite youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxOKEsBx4NU

    It presents a reasonable argument as to why Deus Ex is the most important game ever made. He does reviews on the next two games as well, for fans of the series.

    I play a match or five of Hearthstone, every day.

    Last few months, Overwatch, every day.

    Endless Space 2, every other day or so. Haven't finished a game yet. Got a bad case of altitis. (restartitis?) Just wish there was a way to turn off the quest stuff, all of it. Gets old after seeing the same things a few times.

    And that's it. Got Dishonored and Pillars of Eternity waiting, but it's hard to gather any motivation to start anything new at the moment, even though I know both of those should be great..
    Well that was awkward.

    I forgot to put that on my list. Great game. My ladyfriend and I recently beat Master Gee. That was a struggle, but felt good to complete!

    Finishing up my complete playthrough of the Thief series by playing the (kinda, sorta) reboot. Only a level in, but my main thoughts so far are: 1) Wow, the audio is awful. 2) Why couldn't they just do a straight sequel? 3) There are some good ideas here, but I think it would have been better as its own game.

    Did you play The Dark Mod yet? It was a Doom 3 mod that was basically Thief 2.5, and recently became a free, standalone game, and it also has a fan mission community. If you haven't played it, it should wash away the pain of having played Thi4f.

    Hearts of Iron 4. Did a game as the Soviet Union, one as the US, now in the middle of an interesting game as France. I've taken over Italy, I'm invading southern Germany, but Nationalist Spain just joined the war and forced me to rush a bunch of green divisions out for defense.

    I'll definitely look into that, thanks.

    Also, thought number 4) I get the feeling someone at Eidos Montreal might have played Dishonored. No idea why.

    We've been restarting from the beginning to compare the writing. I'm not so good at the game, so I doubt we'll beat Master Gee so easily. I remember him being really difficult when that DLC came out.

    Fallout: Shelter and Medieval Total War 2.

    Once the next DLC for Crusader Kings 2 drops, I'll be playing that again. Though not until after Nanowrimo ends.

    Right now? Sims Medieval. Our bandit problem is getting out of hand. They mug people in the castle regularly now. Also Day of Infamy with a mod that replaces the normal soundtrack with Dunkirk's.

    I second that recommendation for the Dark Mod. It's really really good, and exactly what I was looking for when I needed my Thief fix.

    I tried Deus Ex and bounced off for some reason. I love the rest of that holy trinity of Thief, System Shock II, and Deus Ex, so I'll probably have to try again.

    I really enjoyed JA2; excellent stategy/tactical/RPG gameplay. Definitely one I dig out every now and then (despite its...thematic flaws). Really love the variety and viability of weapons too; except for the end-game, you can do a solo play-through using nothing but knives or even unarmed if you really want!
    I apologise if I come across daft. I'm a bit like that. I also like a good argument, so please don't take offence if I'm somewhat...forthright.

    Please be aware; when it comes to 5ed D&D, I own Core (1st printing) and SCAG only. All my opinions and rulings are based solely on those, unless otherwise stated. I reserve the right of ignorance of errata or any other source.

    My character's name is Fuzzy Nuzzy if you wanna add me in PoE. I'm iNuzzle on Steam if that's easier. Our PoE thread is fairly dead here on GitP but I can offer my advice on what to do with the orbs, trading or using.

    They're what the game uses for currency instead of gold.

    They all do different things that are, as far as I can tell, mostly worth less than the things you can spend them on when you get to endgame.

    Yeah, the meaningful parts of the game, the interactions with the mercenary registers (murderhobo Facebook), the variety of weapons (and modifications!) and tactical battles, is superb. In many ways, it surpasses modern tactical games like the XCOMs. I enjoyed the stretches where I didn't have to interact with the plot, characters or setting at all but was simply waging a guerilla war on a strategic map, managing contracts, supplies and going on badass missions behind enemy lines.
