With all the consoles now in the wild, and a flurry of games being released at the last minute, I’ve had to really be strict with what I choose to play. There’s just too much out there! I’ve managed to round it down to three games that I’m committing to at the moment.
The main game I’m playing is A Link Between Worlds. I estimate I’m about halfway through the game at the moment. That game is extremely interesting. I’m enjoying it so much. Is it the nostalgia factor. Would someone new to the series get as much out of it as I have? I wonder…
I wonder if that’s even important.
The second game I’m playing is Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Love it. Probably my favourite open world game of the year. Yep, I’m enjoying it more than Grand Theft Auto V. Crazy.
The third and final game I’ve committed to is Super Mario 3D World. I’ve gone past the first two worlds on my own and I’m a little underwhelmed so far. Possibly because I’ve been playing on my own. I’ve decided to hold off a bit until I can get a whole heap of people to play with me.
So that’s what I’m playing at the moment — what are you guys and girls playing?

STARBOUND
I Literally broke into a robot compound last night and stole their toilet. WHAT THEY DIDNT NEED IT THEY ARE ROBOTS.
Bravely Default!
Be Brave.
It needs more love!
Still have some GTA V to do – about 9 main missions I think (then presumably backtrack to see alternate endings.) If that gets done then I’ll probably start AC4 on PS4…
In the final dungeon of Zelda, so I’ll knock that over. Gotta wait till Christmas for Mario, so I’ll probably keep chipping away at GTA V. Still not *loving* it, but definitely enjoying it more than other recent iterations. The level of detail and number of random events in this game is staggering, really helps to make the world feel alive.
Maybe skyrim or Hitman Absolution … I don’t really get to play much games anymore
I am crying my way through A Link Between Worlds hero mode. It’s freaking HARD! Take a hit from an electric cucumber? Kiss those 4 hearts goodbye m’laddo! Lorule bosses may cause my 3DS to explode against the wall in a techno coloured display of rage shrapnel. *whimper*
Oh yeah, I still need to finish with Shadowrun when my crying eyes are dry enough to see my monitor.
Aside from playing in my Warmachine league, probably finally completing Dragons Dogma. Apparently killing the Dragon isn’t the final boss.
No other games really, as most people left to go onto the Lame Box One >:
So many Steam sale purchases… I might get started on Dishonored and Far Cry Blood Dragon. Also planning on playing Dead Island with some friends.
Start Blood Dragon. Soooooo hilarious. Loved it. Even the end is hilarious.
Gonna play some battlefield 4 & ac4 on ps4! Too many 4’s
Broken Sword 5
Now I’m thinking I need to hurry up and play the first four, (which I own and never finished) so I can hurry up and buy/play the fifth.
Just play 1, 2 and 5 and go back to 3 afterwards. (Skip four entirely. XD)
I thought 3 was the shit one.
Three is incredibly flawed, but also ambitious. Adapts the art direction nicely in 3D. Too many physics puzzles, but still good. Four is just bland and soulless with terrible writing.
Which one was about a dragon?
The Sleeping Dragon’s the third game! Lots of people hated it too, though. Just personally I think it’s way, way better than four. XD
Yeah, that game was terrible. Also buggy as all hell. I still clearly remember a glitch for a character, who up until a particular point in the game was always sitting down and for one brief moment was standing up. Her dress had lifted up to her chest.
Probably nothing.
The Witcher 2!
Just played the part early on where
Triss is carried through the forest while protecting you with a force field as you kill the elves attacking, pretty cool scenarioI’m going to ignore the pile of shame, that’s in the triple digits (both xbla and disc based) for 360, ignore the pile of shame that’s 5 titles deep for Wii U and 20 titles deep each for Wii, PsP, Ds and 3ds respectively. And without even contemplating the festeringly large Steam library of unplayed impulse buys….
And I’m going to play Forza 5 & Fifa 14 (while the son is up and about) – and shooty shooty Battlefield 4 in the adult time while he’s sleeping. Maybe even start some stabby stabby AC4 or choppity choppity Dead Rising 3, which have become the start of my next Gen pile of shame, not including the Ryse and CODG that Big W haven’t managed to ship to me yet….
Assassins Creed Black Flag and warframe this weekend.
Starbound and bf4
AssCreed4 i’m shocked at how awesome it is. I’d written it off but picked it up cheap on amazon when i was drunk at like 2am. I love Drunken me sometimes.
Am I the only one around here that gives a shit about GT6? 🙂
I’ll probably be playing that till my eyeballs turn to dust and are blown out of their sockets by the hot winds of the eventual apocalypse.
Just Dance 2014 for Xbone/Kinect.
For real, the workout modes on that are pretty hardcore.
When I’m not working on my fitness, I will probably play Forza 5 and possibly make a start on dead Rising 3.
I just picked up Spelunky for Vita, so probably playing that and possibly getting into my steam stack.
Super Mario 3D World! I’ve got 2 save files going at the moment. One is single player with everything collected along the way and the other is with my girlfriend which is more of a “let her lead and see what happens” playthrough 😛
Ryse 🙂 The single player was pretty and good bordering “ok” but the Co-op Gladiator mode has broken my addiction to Killer Instinct… for now…
Ima gonna destroy Metal Gear REX in ‘Metal Gear Solid’, that’s what!
Super Mario 3D World! Loving the 2 player action!
Gran Turismo 6.
ACIV (on my new PS4)
and Zelda on my new Zelda 3DS.
what an awesome weekend woo!
Picked up a 3DS this week. I have Pokemon, Luigi’s Mansion, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and I got a free copy of Mario 3D World.
I have All Of The Games.
You have a good weekend ahead of you my good man!! 😀
Unfortunately nothing. I have a massive swag of games coming for Christmas. I have a great wife but she makes me wait at this time year ;( fair enough i guess…………
GT6 for me, it would have been Forza5, but I decided against the XB1 as Forza was the only launch title that interested me, and GT6 looks better, plus the Forza microtransactions are just plain greedy, I won’t support it.
GT6 has them too, but the game itself hasn’t changed around them, so I still get to play without pay.
RAGE on PC. \o/
Awesome!
The scorchers dlc is pretty sweet too. The scenery is tops especially at the end.
FFXIV ARR
Dead Rising 3 because it is just so god damn fun. I thought I’d get bored of it fairly quickly so I wasn’t keen on getting it. I ended up grabbing it on launch with the console on a whim and I’m so glad I did. If anyone is interested it is $68 at Big W right now.
I recently found the Blanka head blueprint in DR3. BEST. WEAPON.EVER!!!!
This weekend I’ll also play some FIFA 14 and BF4 (both on XB1) watch some A-League and paint the babies room. Oh and watch the UFC in Brisbane tomorrow on Fuel!! Weigh-ins are in 45mins!
Finally finished Persona 3 Portable on my Vita after about 110 hours. Awesome game! Now starting AC Liberation.
Saints Row 3 on my PS3 – done all the instances of city takeover gameplay except the gang operations, and working on the assassinations and vehicle deliveries. It’s kind of grown on me now that I’m not taking it too seriously.
FIFA 14 / Flower / Contrast on PS4 – waiting for Knack to arrive 🙁 Don’t want to start ACIV before finishing Liberation due to the Aveline missions that appear in ACIV.
Flower looks amazing on ps4! Might have to pick that up myself
Final Fantasy VIII that literally just released on Steam. Screw you guys, FF8 is my favourite game in the whole world and no one can convince me otherwise! It’s so broken that it’s amazing, Lionheart disc 1, here I come!
Since my OGS package finally arrived I will be playing Pokemon X. I need a couple of friends on it so if anyone wants to add my FC let me know and I will add you back. None of my real world friends have a 3DS so my mii is a little lonely.
Send away. I got Y as an xmas present. Lack real world friends with poke on 3ds.
Just finished watching Breaking Bad last night, and the Louis Theroux DVD’s I ordered came yesterday, so I’ll be watching them.
As to what I’ll be playing, gonna continue with Dead Rising 3, and maybe do another run through of Ryse.
Zelda 3ds, ac black flag, 3d world and maybe more tf2.
AC4 and Rocksmith 2014. I have kinda mixed feelings about AC4 – the naval warfare is nice, but it gets a bit samey after a while. Exploring the seas is fun, but (as with many open world games) the world seems so empty. Maybe it’s the whole “power fantasy” that just doesn’t appeal to me. I don’t like the idea of scanning the horizons, choosing my target with full knowledge that I will have no challenge and will be rewarded with a small amount of (extremely abstract) materials. It just feels very grindy. I dunno, maybe it gets more interesting if/when you start taking on Man’o’Wars…
On the other hand, Rocksmith is leeching my time away… 2 hours every night means I don’t have time to play anything else during the week. It’s great, rewarding and fun, but it makes me wish I had the time to spend two hours on that and have time left over to play something more relaxing.
I might grab my housemate’s copy of AC IV and give him Killzone for a bit. I couldn’t get into the first AC or any of them since but I’d like to see what’s changed.
Also waiting for the Nexus Mod Manager to come back online so I can continue learning how to mod the hell out of Fallout 3 & Skyrim
I haven’t played GTA V for a few weeks so there’s that; I’m also working my way thru a trio of XBLA adventures: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Alan Wake’s American Nightmare and Shadow Complex. Finally I hath puchased and downloaded a copy of Fallout 3 to my xbawx and with all the Fallout talk I am keen to see what the fuss is about!
Cancelled WoW sub last night until Warlords of Draenor, so rediscovering Guild Wars 2 in the interim. Finished CoD Ghosts on Veteran last night (PS4), so will be tracking down the intel and stray trophies I haven’t got. Anything in between will likely be trying out Starbound or more Killzone SF multi.
Probably nothing until I’ve finished watching Firefly for the first time. It’s about time I watched it to see why everyone seems to love it.
I should hopefully knock off Dead Rising 3 this weekend. I’ve really enjoyed my time with it. Roll on the DLC. Beyond that maybe some more Ni No Kuni with MrsBS and if I do manage to beat DR3 I might go back to Assassin’s Creed IV on PS4.
Also still mucking around with Senran Kagura on 3DS. Good times.
really wanna be playing Bravely Default, will prolly arrive next week.
Seems like anything and/or something on the PlayStation 4.
Received a call that my Killzone Bundle has come for collection, so bit of a surprise as I was expecting it next week!
I’ll be sinking some more time into Assassins Creed: Black Flag. i did not enjoy the previous Assassins Creed games but i can’t get enough of this one for some reason!
Bravely Default once I pick it up. Alongside that will be XCOM: Enemy Within and Guacamelee.
Finishing off Knack trophies. Soooo close to Diamond Knack it’s killing me.
Bravely Default, Super Mario 3D World, Link Between Worlds, Killzone, Battlefield 4, Shadow Warrior, Starbound. It’s actually more stressful than it is enjoyable 😛
STARBOUND…… just got it. Can not wait to get home to play it.
Assetto Corsa, gotta get used to the physics.
I’m up to the final world in SM3DW. Suddenly it got a little bit hard. Not too hard but a little bit hard.
Also might pick up the LBW or the new Professor Layton game.
Trying to learn how to play Europa Universalis 4, as well as some Counterstrike and Assassin’s Creed IV
Hmm…just me or does Mark mostly only play WiiU games? There are a few other consoles out there including two entirely new ones. You should try them.
