What game are you currently playing?

I'm back on that Diablo 3. Started up a season 19 monk last night and I'm enjoying it thus far. Got to level 40-something and I have most of the Ch. 1 seasonal goals finished. I've been really lucky to get some high health-per-hit items so even though my dmg output isn't high enough to handle Master or Torment yet, my survivability is already solid.

Currently trying to play through Death Stranding but life is getting in the way at the minute. Nothing too bad, just in the process of applying for a new job so all of my free time and energy is going into that!
 
Started playing bloodborne again. Also bought a PSVR during BF so games like beat saber and skyrim vr.

and when my friends are on we'll occasionally set up some smash bros Ult.
 
Going to play Shenmue III in earnest now. I'm about to leave Bailu right now. I didn't find all the herbs and fishing spots and I missed two sidequests but I still think I saw a good deal of it.
 
I'm currently playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Anomaly, which is a stand-alone "mod" (wouldn't even call it a mod, more like a sequel) for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. It's an incredible piece of work featuring hundreds of hours of content, carefully balanced to enjoy. Actively developed (currently still in BETA) and quite polished as of now. It uses a heavily modified 64bit version of the X-Ray Engine (which powered the original trilogy). It's also brutally hard for a beginner, definitely not recommended unless you dabbled with the previous S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games.
 
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. A little bored by it, but it should be over soon. I wish it were a Wii U game to be honest.
Age of Empires: Definitive Edition. Just an occasional campaign scenario. Quite addicting.
 
The Outer Worlds.

I liked it overall. Have some issues with it but it being a compotent single player story with production value and decent storytelling was refreshing.

Proving to other devs it can be done.

My issues were:
1. The later missions lose all pacing and meaning. It's like a full sprint to the end and the level design suffers. It's like the game just wants to get this over with the final 3 to 4 story missions.
2. One of the NPC companions is clearly phoned in, Felix. He is a waste of space on the ship. Even the SAM unit has more story and personality. They literally hand you to him after a single interaction as you are leaving a world.
3. Bullet sponge is real in this game.
4. Melee is not a viable build for the hardest difficulties. Block is cute, but more than half the enemies are ranged. A riot sheild would have been appreciated for melee builds.

Playing
Jedi fallen order ( When non of my friends are on line)
Destiny 2 ( When my friends are online)
New COD ( when I only have a little free time)
 
Ive started dragon quest xi on the switch. Not sure I can tackle a rpg that long nowadays but I'll try it. The graphics, music and fights are great so far.
 
I am slowly working my way through the new Modern Warfare on PS4 (Pro). I guess that's it. There are some Switch games I picked up on sale but haven't had the chance to get to them yet.
 
IV been trying everything on xcloud. Just played tales of vespiria. 8ts ok. I feel between this and dragon quest 11 on switch either I dont like jrpgs anymore or they are just bad. Whats with the cringy voicework in both of those games. Maybe I'm just apoiled from wrpgs like witcher and bioware games
 
Got Diablo 3 for PS4 for like 15 Bucks and now, the Lady and I are couch-co-oping that fun little time-eater. After the first big session she asked if we can up the difficulty. :D

Problem is, we made seasonal characters and they are difficulty bound til the end of the season :/

Though, it's nice gaming, because she never played 3 and I never played the Necromancer class (15 € for a measly class still is a ripoff). And I still believe, that the controller-mechanics should be ported to PC-Diablo. They are almost perfect.

To the bolded: no, each time you set up the game from the main menu you can go to 'Game Settings' and adjust the difficulty.

Will look into it, but I remember, it explicitly stating, that this is not possible with season-characters.

Unless there's a difference between versions, I was playing a season 19 monk over the weekend (Switch) and I definitely changed difficulty multiple times, both in Campaign and in Adventure mode. However, I know you cannot crank the difficult up from the menu while in the midst of a seasonal session. You need to exit back to the main menu, set the difficulty up a notch, and then start the game back up.

Actively playing: Hyrule Warriors DE (still haven't completed all the adventure maps), Borderlands TPS with friends, recently got back to playing Bazblue (I'll finish CS story first, then start CF for realsies)

Haven't touched them in a while and definitely need to get back to them: Tales of Vesperia, Xenoblade 2, Astral Chain, Wolfenstein The New Order

On my "soon to be played" list: the Witcher trilogy, both XBlaze (they were on sale on Steam recently), Xenoblade HD as soon as it releases
 
I've been playing the crap out of FFXIV these past few days, what a wonderful game, really takes me back to classic FF with the job system, music and such. The most amazing thing of course is that I have 5 friends, who just started playing the game too. It's so cool to compare progress and do quests together, feels like the good old PSO/D3/Destiny 1 days.

Ni Oh from ps plus. I'm in Saiko boss and i'm getting tired, the majority of bosses aren't fun to fight . The game is good and deep though, but difficulty comes from all enemies killing you in 2 hits rather than enemy variety and fancy attacks. Level detail and design is just.. right.

Perhaps try save scumming this encounter. It would be a pity to abandon this gem only because of difficulty!

Thank you, but I managed to finish it recently. After I posted this after a few days I managed to escape from the deathclaws (unfortunately I had to abandon my companion and he died). I kind of skipped the quest afterwards because these might be some of the toughest versions of deathclaws I have seen (I played 3, 4, and NV). After that I managed to enter the secret mutant military base and after a long time and a lot of save states I killed all of the mutants guarding the path to the vat control room and blew it up (also I stole some clothes from the cathedral cultists). Then I went to find the master at the cathedral after talking to Vree at the brotherhood base and got some important info (I also wanted to get some power armor for destroying the mutant vats, but you don't get anything for it :( ). Talked to Morpheus and convinced him to take me to Master and I convinced him that unity is impossible with the information I received from Vree.

I kind of skipped a lot of quests, though I got a mostly good ending and towns like necropolis and shady sands being safe and doing well, hub got destroyed, the raiders died out, followers of apocalypse are dead (I don't think I interacted with them), and the brotherhood are helping the wastelanders. I could have done more but the combat is difficult for me (I can kill hard enemies, but it takes a long time and repeated save states).

Finished Phantom Hourglass and am probably going to play my black friday games (Like Captain Toad).
 
Deep into spider man on Pro now. I don't rate the game as highly as Batman personally. The darker mood and gameplay of Batman is superior for my taste

Trying out Tochlight II on the Switch. I finished a run on PC when it launched. I think I prefer the more focused structure of the original Torchlight and I'm not in love with any of the classes. There are also some weird annoyances like loot dropping in areas that can't be looted and about half of the legendary drops have been class specific and not for my chosen class. They really should have taken notes on the controller interface from Diablo (d-pad for quickly marking junk and the far superior inventory menu). I'm not sure I'll stick with it at this point.
 
Finally got my PS4. Took three and half days to download all the games I owned already plus GoW and the Horizon Zero Dawn.
Started playing the Handsome Collection. Big huge banner on top of the game telling me to buy Borderlands 3. REAL FUCKING CLASSY. MAKES ME WANT TO GO OUT AND BUY BORDERLANDS 3 IMMEDIATELY.

To be fair, I'm not a fan of the ads either.
 
Finally getting to some of my backlog....

Playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider. While I enjoy these rebooted adventures,and I do like this game, it is the weakest of the 3 reboots.

Theres more exploring which is cool....but there is also considerably less combat than Rise or my expectations. Its def not a murder sim like Uncharted (lol).

I'll def finish it. I think it is a fun game and i like the story and setting. Hoping that next gen bring another fresh take.

Man, what a ripper of a game this is. It never seems to go that cheap on steam so I bit the bullet and picked it up while it was still on sale today. One hell of a throwback that plays smoother than a chainsaw cutting through intestines. The cult setting and dark atmosphere is so good, the level design is top notch, the dual wielding is sick and it's just a bloody adrenaline rush of fun. I've only played an hour and it's easily one of the best games I've played this year.

I just beat Bloodstained. It was excellent for my tastes. I think I would put it overall as slightly above Hollow Knight which was also excellent. Currently playing Halo MCC and Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. I don't see what the big awe in Hellblade is so far. I hear I may not be enjoying it as much because it is better with headphones? But, I am deaf in my right ear which takes away from that, and it just makes me think people just like whispering in their ears aka ASMR then more than a great game?

Report back when I finish I guess.
 
I'm playing Jedi fallen order and i'm really enjoying it.
It's a great game. I see that maybe i won't touch it again after i finish it, but it's ok, because it's a real joy to play!
I guess i'm a bit after the middle of the game. I'm around 10-11 hours in.

Basically, I've been playing Shenmue 3 since November 19th and I felt like nothing else existed for the past three weeks. Being a Shenmue fanboy and a backer, I felt very personal towards this game. And I finished it very recentely. And I have many thoughts, many thoughts.

It this a great adventure game? Yes it is.
Is it a great sequel to Shenmue 2? Falls a few notches down, but still a great experience.
Is the combat good? Yes, it is. Awkward at first but super fun once you get the hang of it.
Does Shenmue 3 take some lessons from more modern games? It's still very much rooted in this own classic gameplay but it does take some baby steps to make things a little more interesting.
Was it worth the wait? As a Shenmue fan, I think it was totally worth it.
Are there downsides to this? Yes, there are. While the story seems to chug along at this own deliberate pace because it's clear that the devs want you to experience everything as much as possible. The ending might come as too sudden, a dissapointment and a setback, but in all honesty, the one thing that it has better than Shenmue 2, is that unlike the previous game, this ending is far less ambiguous than Shenmue 2's ending. S2's ending while epic in it's own way was far too vague to make sense of anything. There is a clearer path in this game's ending, is what I'm saying.

Shenmue fans will enjoy the game for the most part. The newbies might find a few odd things here and there to take notice.
 
Mario party 1 on N64 with my 9 years old.. We're reviving old consoles..

Got the SNES working too but he's interested in the gamecube which I've lost the box that had ALL my GC collection :(.. More than 50 games.. I don't even know where to begin to start getting the games and I'm worried I won't be able to afford it
 
nothing right now after just finishing Fallen Order.

i want to go back to RDR2 (this time on PC) to give it a second try. i originally played it on PS4 at launch but gave up. if i can't get into it then the next game up for me is Halo Reach and/or Pokemon Let's Go (played some of it but got a new switch and lost progress).

i just finished it. i was enjoying it right up until the last scene. i get why it ended it that way but felt kinda like a waste of time to me. the characters didn't really interest me so i doubt i will play any sequel.

my total play time was 14 hours. i didn't do everything but i did take some time just exploring and finding lore.

This was the first game I was able to get my girlfriend to play on PC. She jumped over from PS4 and having cross saves definitely helped transition her to PCMR. But the game is just satisfying to play and your power, gear and behemoth knowledge really play roles in your progress (as well as using strikers)

Destiny 2
New season pass just came out. I don't know why I enjoy it so much but I'm having a blast, probably because I'm not chasing endgame godrole guns

Classis WoW
Played heavy, got to 53. Phase 2 hit, honor raid groups stopped me from progressing unless I'm in a dungeon (pvp server) pretty much gave up on it until server transfers are a thing and I can play with my friends and get to 60 and pvp like the good ol times.
 
I've been catching up on COD:Modern Warfare. Got it on release, played quite a bit, but didn't get a chance to play as much as I planned cause Death Stranding took all that time from me.

Gonna pick up Boneworks real soon as they have the Windows Mixed Reality fix in now, so I'm really excited about that.

Definitely looking into playing Wrath: Aeon of Ruin as well. Good ol FPS throwback with that gritty Quake / Hexen II look.
 
Shenmue. The game loads so fadt on ps4. The dreamcast took a lot of loading time which probably added a lot of hours to overall game time.
 
I've been quite busy so I am STILL playing Death Stranding (pushing through Chpt 6 now) and it feels like the further I get into the game, the further away the end is to me.
 
Mainly Death Stranding. I only play it a few hours a day on weekends so I'm moving at a glacial pace for a game like that. Most likely power through it once I take a vacation, then start Sekiro after.

Also playing some SF5 and MK11 as well, though I'll prob move back into Tekken very soon.
 
Astral Chain. I got it a month ago but only recently really dove into it.

This is the video game equivalent of doing an 8-ball then drinking a pot of espresso mixed with nitro glycerine. Controlling the Legion at the same time as you're trying to control your character is fun to get your head wrapped around and a real challenge to do well.

I love that they've matched the walking pace perfectly to the music tempo in the police station..
