What are you playing right now?
We needed a catch all thread to discuss crap we are playing. Hence, this thread!

I beat Steamworld Dig 2 the other day. Really good game, digging and selling ore and gems feels very satisfying. The upgrades are great. I just wish it was a bit longer. Took me about 8 hours to beat it.

Re: What are you playing right now?
I wish I had a Switch to play Zelda on. That game seems very up my alley.
Lots of good word of mouth around Assassins Creed Origins. I'm not a typically a fan of that series either, but this one seems different enough and resides in a pretty cool world.

The Division, Euro Truck Simulator 2, and Steep
Just picked up Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Civ 6, so those will probably take up most of my gaming time for the next few months.

Going to finish up Pyre and move on to Yakuza 0 or The Evil Within 2. Dropped them both for some other games I wrapped up in last year.

Re: What are you playing right now?
I thought Golf Story was only out for the Switch but I could be wrong. IMO it's definitely worth the $15 download. It's a fun, kinda funny, golf RPG game that you can casually play and it's long enough to where you feel you definitely got your money's worth.Abe Froman wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2018 1:25 pmI guess I've been putting a decent amount of time into Zelda on my switch as well. I already played through most of it on my Wii U, but had to pick it up again for my Switch since it's such a good game. Even after putting 80-100 hours into it I'm still finding new areas, shrines, and shit to do. It's almost a perfect game, imo.
How is Golf Story? I heard it's actually pretty fun, but the concept sounds kind of weird. If it's out for the Switch I might pick it up for something new to dick around with .

Fallout: New Vegas
I dont know how I missed this game. Im in the market for upgrading my gaming system soon, so for right now Im playing the crap out of my 360º.
I think I may like this gane as much or more than Skyrim. I know, I know...but I havent got tired of it yet, and Im having a great time.

Dammit, unfortunately graphically this would really bother me. I should just scrap the idea and live with my happy memories. Hopefully one day a remastered version will come out.

Re: What are you playing right now?
I also like Oblivion more than Skyrim.
Remember when Oblivion came out, Bethesda was pushing the envelope of graphics at the time across multiple platforms. Now they looked like slightly tuned up versions of the same game. They can do better.
Fallout 4 was the same thing I've seen them do 4 times before in Oblivion, Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Skyrim. It's the one I bounced off and never finished because I was kinda done. It's time to for them 5o revolutionize that style of game again.
I mean I guess BotW did that this year.

Re: What are you playing right now?
New Vegas initially was developed as a dlc for FO3 I believe. They put it out as it's own game probably based on how well FO3 did financially.

Re: What are you playing right now?
Yes, I mean in it's initial sketching and early development. It came out more than a year after FO3 if I remember correctly, They used a lot of the same in game assets but made a new thing with them. I definitely have the impression it was not heralded with much fanfare. Certainly not as much as the other games with this engine. But I did like New Vegas a lot.Abe Froman wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 6:26 pmI think in the very very beginning it was an idea for a dlc, but I doubt they had even begun development. It was created by a different developer than FO3, and is far far to big to be a DLC. Can u imagine how long that dlc would have taken to download on a 360 or PS4 with the average person's bandwidth at the time? When I first got my 360 I downloaded a movie. It literally took a day and a half. Maybe be they would have just released it as a hddvd only dlc.
