[Valtýr]

Is there a quick and easy way to get into a DnD game on the net? I've played CRPGs since Baldurs and have always wanted to give it a shot.

yes, it's called playing Dungeon World and not DnD.

 

[Jintor]

I'd be up to play in a dungeon world game. Had enough of gming for a while

Alex is gonna shake his head so much during this Vinny-less week that he'll break his own neck.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Tbf you brought that on yourself by playing wardor.

 

[Dany]

This game is very spoopy.

 

[Gobias]

Outlast kind of loses it after the first 1/3. Becomes a slog. 2 Seems like it at least stays more interesting throughout.

 

[Death Metalist]

abby going for the artsy shots is fuckin' killing me

Fright or Shite time!

That doesn't look like Vinny's protege

So, 2017 is pretty amazing for games but I just realized how "few" games I actually bought this year. Ignoring the 5 or so Switch games, I've bought 14 games on Steam and 6 of them are rather mediocre

Compare that to last year where I bought 43 games (thought admittedly not just in 2016 but also in sales and bundles in 2017)
Can't really see myself buying more than 2 full priced games for the rest of the year (Mario and either Destiny or Wolf 2).

How many games did you guys buy this year?

 

[strafer]

So that's where the TOkyo Drift poster ended up.

 

[BearPawB]

Gonna be curious to hear Jeff’s thoughts on GTsport.

He shat on forza for its tracks and car selection...I feel like this isn’t going to be his kind of game.

Whao, how did you sort it out that way?

 

[oti]

I feel like I should buy Witcher 3 right now because it's on sale even though I'm not going to play it until next year or something. I do have 30 Euros in my Steam wallet though.

In other news, started Uncharted LL yesterday and that opening was great. I then handed the controller to a freind who likes gaming but isn't good at playing video games. So I set it on the lowest difficulty and he had a ton of fun. I guess I'm not playing it myself after all and instead will be watching him play it. Fine by me.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Looking at my steam list and I was actually surprised that there was a gap between may 2016 to april 2017 where I didn't play any games on steam, wondered wtf happened, than I remembered the great gaping timesink that is Overwatch.

Also that was when I bought a PS4.

There is probably more, but off the top of my head:

Gravity Rush 2
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Persona 5
Steins;Gate 0
House in Fata Morgana
That VN Humble Bundle
Root Letter
Valkyria Chronicles
Danganronpa 1&2 Reload
Nier: Automata
Uncharted: Lost Legacy

I still have Sonic Mania, Cuphead, and a few others on my need to buy list as well as the the bolded above that I still need to play. I've been in too much of a non-game mood over the past few weeks. Pondered replaying TNO this morning. Might be worth revisiting before Wolf2 comes out next week.

 

[MassiveNights]

Fun Home Game fact (not sure if Jeff mentioned it) - The people who made Sub Terrania went on to found IO Interactive and create the Hitman series.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Just on steam (dustforce I've gotten long ago but I revisited it recently)

With all the garbage games from that VN humble bundle I didn't even touch scrubbed out.

Games that I actually put any time into (some of them I'm still working on finishing).

Games I've actually finished.

.... I might have a problem.

Spoiler

TBF I have a much better finishing record on the PS4.

 

[Young Liar]

How many games did you guys buy this year?

2017 games:
Persona 5
For Honor
Nioh
Nier: Automata
Pyre
Hellblade
What Remains of Edith Finch
Uncharted: Lost Legacy
Destiny 2
Shadow of War

Old games:
Fallout: New Vegas
To The Moon
Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor
The Beginner's Guide
Cibele
Anatomy

My living situation has drastically affected my budget. Pretty sure I would have bought a lot more games this year if not for that!

Not even sure, it's easier if I list them. All for PS4 except for a couple switch games.

Yakuza 0
Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen
Nier Automata
Persona 5
Destiny 2
Sonic Mania
Crash Trilogy
Wipeout Collection
Shadow Tactics
Yakuza Kiwami

Xcom2 (was that this year for PS4?)
Shadow of Wardor
Gravity Rush 2
Kingdom Hearts HD 1+2
Zelda + Switch
Fast RMX (i think that's the name of the Switch version)
Horizon Zero Dawn
Elite Dangerous
Nioh

They're also more or less in personal top 10 order so far. I don't think it will change much because i'm not interested in much more until the end of the year.

edit: forgot Nioh and Horizon, but I barely played any of them.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I don't even think I've bought ten games this year

Yakuza 0
Yakuza Kiwami
Cuphead
Sonic Mania
Wonder Boy: the Dragon's Trap
N. Sane Trilogy
Puyo Puyo Tetris
Resident Evil VII

and I think that's it besides some old shit on Steam

 

[Wunder]

I've only bought less than 10 games this year and finished maybe half of them

Family Sharing has been huge this year thanks to my friend buying a bunch of games I was interested in, so I'll probably end up playing way more games than I actually paid for

 

[BTA]

Oh I’ve surely still bought a decent amount of games beyond what I’ve actually played and need to cut down that even more than usual now that I’m gaining a more realistic view of my free time.

I just barely use Steam right now so there’s no easy way to look.

 

[Antiwhippy]

For PS4:
Steins;Gate 0
Tales of Bersaria
Persona 5
Nioh
Night in the Woods
Project Diva Future Tone
DJ Max respect
Gravity Rush 2

Actually finished or put in a more than decent time into:
Steins;Gate 0
Persona 5
Nioh
Night in the Woods
DJ Max respect
Gravity Rush 2

So like, buy less but I actually play the games I buy.

Spoiler

got to the last bost of the DLC then got distracted need to go back to finish.

I probably bought most of these this year, 1 or 2 may have been last year in december. Anyway that's all I really remember there is probably some more stuff I messed with for a bit, but not enough to put down as played imo.


Oh, I did buy and play Wolfenstein TNO but since I watched an LP of it when it came out I had less interest in finishing and played like half of it, I do want to finish it someday.

 

[ultron87]

Is there a DND OT on Neogaf? Bit OT(But I'm watching DND Unplugged!) but I'll proly dming tomorrow

I think there's one buried in OT/Community somewhere. I can't recall the exact search term - tabletop rpg maybe? It's not very active as I recall.

This is the Tabletop RPG thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=465327&page=1 It is semi-active?

It should probably be re-titled to say "Tabletop" somewhere in the title.

 

[demidar]

Well, just looking at my Steam recent purchases list for the year of 2017.

Purchased and beaten:
Tales of Berseria
Night in the Woods
Binding of Isaac: Rebirth+
Trails in the Sky Third Chapter
Kio's Adventure
Resident Evil 0
Trails of Cold Steel
Divinity Original Sin 2

Purchased and played:
Tekken 7
Sunless Sea: Zubmariner

Purchased and haven't touched:
Serious Sam 2
House of Fats Morgana

It helps that I don't have any other gaming console besides a PC and a 3DS (which I haven't turned on for a year). Played a lot of games that I didn't buy this year, like Overwatch and XCOM 2 that I didn't include, but my completion percentage is pretty high.

[Lari]

This year I bought:

- Sonic Mania (my favorite game so far)
- Cuphead (I love it, but I hate it, but I love it)
- The Shrouded Isle (it was really fun for an evening and then it got boring)

And I bought a Super Nintendo Classic (thought i've yet to receive it).

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I also bought XCOM 2 WotC but that's a 2017 game so it's not showing up.
On the Switch I only bought FIFA, MarioxRabbids, Zelda, Thumper, Steamworld Digdug 2 and Sonic

Whao, how did you sort it out that way?

What do you mean?

 

[daveo42]

You guys are so much better at time management then me, Jesus Christ.

Personally, I wouldn't say I do. I've beaten a decent amount of games this year, but that's come at the expense of not doing anything else with my free time for months.

Noticed that too

What do you mean?

The 2017 filter.

Didn't know that you could filter by year.

 

[Ashby]

Personally, I wouldn't say I do. I've beaten a decent amount of games this year, but that's come at the expense of not doing anything else with my free time for months.

Yeah but all I do is have giant bomb play in one tab while reading GAF in another. That and work is my entire life.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

The 2017 filter.

Didn't know that you could filter by year.

You can't, that's just my personal filter.
I like to keep my games ordered that way.

I also have filters for Completed, Yet to play, Never Again and Maybe later

 

[Jintor]

GMing i said. As in, running games.

Man I'm too lazy to do any of that.

Probably should give organising a shot though.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

It's a bunch of boring work at first, yeah.
I just started doing it at some point and over time completed the lists.

 

[Death Metalist]

Also if we're talking early access, PUBG as well. Forgot to list that previously. One of the best years in gaming for sure.

 

[BTA]

You guys are so much better at time management then me, Jesus Christ.

Nah, I’m still terrible at it.

Keeping track of what I actually want to do each week has definitely helped, but I’m still figuring out what I can reasonably accomplish in a week because stuff always slips. And that’s with no real social life besides the occasional weekend thing. (Well, more like I went a month with a thing with different friends every weekend and now a month with nothing which... kinda really sucks and I need to be more active about getting people to do stuff.)

(I can’t believe I’m saying this but) I feel like I need to get on Dan’s schedule of actually eating dinner very soon after I get home and then having the clear 4-5ish hours of free time after, particularly as I’m still bad at getting my body to sleep at good times and that’s not sustainable now even more than it wasn’t ustainable in college.

I don’t know what magic I worked the summer of two years ago where I was actually cooking almost every night and got a ton of stuff done after work, but I’m still trying to figure it out.

 

[demidar]

It's a bunch of boring work at first, yeah.
I just started doing it at some point and over time completed the lists.

Same. It's nice seeing your Completed list grow and grow.

Anyway, Fright and Shite's intro music sounds like something I'd hear in Spelunky HD.

Sleeping 4-6 hours helps.
