What are you playing?

I have been going ham on Civ 5 (at least 7-8 hours per day for the last three days). I have Lan party for it tomorrow.

I bought Wind Waker HD yesterday on an impulse because I wanted to play it. So far, it's off to a rough start. The game looks and sounds amazing, and had a great first impression, but the Forsaken Fortress section was perhaps the least fun I've had in any of the 3D or 2D Zelda games. The Wind Waker baton is a pain too. It really feels like it would've worked better with the C-buttons on the N64 than a control stick. I don't really mind the sailing parts of the game so far. Hopefully now that I'm on Dragon Roost Island things will get better.

I never made it past the stupid fortress when I played it years back. To automatically start you off on this lengthy stealth mission, is not the best way to start off a Zelda game.

The stealth mission was what prevented me from ever playing the game. I failed the stealth part so much, I rage quit and never picked the game back up again. Not interested in Zelda games anyway, so it just confirmed it.

Most of the Zelda series, is not stealth.

Heh, yeah, everyone's told me that once it's done, it's a great game. Just never found the series appealing for some reason though... Tried Ocarina of Time on 3DS and couldn't get into it either.

[burningdoom]

^ lol, ironically, the other one I wasn't the fondest of. I'm a MUCH bigger fan of the 2D entries.

[fighterpilot562]

Getting a bit bored with New Leaf, might need a new 3ds game soon. Enjoying Sunset overdrive.


Fallout 4 DLC drops thursday, so ill be returning to ps4 soon.

Been working on Final Fantasy Type-0 and thank god I'm near the end. This game is terrible.
Obviously the cure is more Final Fantasy 13.

Broke down and ended my streak of non-gaming with Doom the other day.  Love this game.  It is so satisfying gunning demons into kibbles, stomping their heads and ripping their limbs off.  And chainsawing a hapless bastard demon in two never gets old!

The few secrets I've seen uncovered were pretty cool - glad you're enjoying it! I thought it would be repetitive for the player, but everyone I've heard from says that it may look repetitive but it's still fun and satisfying every time they kill something.

If anything, the bf doesn't care much for the multiplayer.

I haven't touched the multiplayer and I'm in no hurry to.  I'll try it out but I don't think it will be my focus.  The map building seems pretty cool from the levels I have tried out.

As for the game being repetitive, it moves so fast and demons are running in your face faster than you can pull the trigger...there's no time to notice it being repetitive!     You are blasting away, running, performing glory kills to get health & ammo...you honestly don't have time to stop.  It's Doom.  It's perfect.

Just finished Bravely Second so looking for the next title to occupy me til Sept. I picked up Valkyria the day I finished Second so it may be a sign.

Also been messing around with Zombie Vikings with the boy. Its pretty fun and goofy.

Coming from someone who adores Wind Waker, the stealth section is pretty tedious. I remember it being my very first exposure to Zelda when I played it on a Gamecube demo disk back in the day, and it took me years to give it a fair chance seeing as I was also one of those dweebs who dismissed it for its cartoony art style. No harm in disliking Zelda, though. It's not for everyone.

I just completed my first full playthrough of the original Dark Souls and man, what a game. It took me about a month to get the hang of its unique brand of difficulty (and don't get me started on all the abandoned playthroughs I've left behind in the two years or so since I bought it), but it was worth it. Probably one of my favorite games to come out in the last decade. The lore sucked me right in. Love love love the level design. As soon as I get the platinum trophy, I'm picking up the sequels.

Well, I did start playing Valkyria ... Very cool fight style and going to be a good game.

Also went ahead and gave another title a shot Ive been thinking about: Saturday morning RPG. Man, this one is a blast. Its going to take quite a bit of my time!

I love reading this. Dark Souls was my game of the year last year. The platinum trophy can be difficult to get, but man is the effort worth it.

Did you play the original on the PS3?
