It’s December, which means that there are 5000 new video games to choose from. What to do in the face of so many video games? Start playing, I guess.
For my part, I’m playing… well, everything. Too many things. Lots of open world games; I’m making my way through Far Cry 4, which I really like when I’m not playing story missions, GTA V in first-person, and Assassin’s Creed Unity, which I really just do not care for. I’m still playing Destiny, of course, even though it’s become something of a Chatterwhite-collection game for me at this point. Plenty of other things too.
How about you? What are you playing this month? What did you decide to grab in November? Are there any games that you got but have found yourself skipping in favour of other stuff, or do you find yourself playing older games, despite all the new things that just came out? Do tell.

Christmas in San Andreas!
World Of Warcraft. I’m basically a total noob to it, I’d done a couple of characters to lvl20 in the starter edition a while ago and that’s it. I’ve been saying for ages that I’d get into it if they just sold the game and included the expansions and there it all was for $5 last week. Well all the expansions except the new one anyway but that’s reasonable to me. I might pick up Draenor eventually but there’s plenty for me to go on with for the foreseeable future.
You will find it full on to start with! Keep persevering though. It’s a great game once you get into it with so much to see and do.
Dungeon of the Endless. Such a weird Frankenstein of a game.
Lego games with my nephews. Lego Marvel was a great buy.
Teleglitch. Disappointed that I let the graphics turn me off it for so long.
I may jump back into Dark Souls, but I’m kinda scared to.
Borderlands series.
Smash bros.
Omega ruby
Dayz, hopefully the new update hooks me again.
Eotl update for tf2 and smissmass tf2.
No time for bordem
I’ve picked up Diablo III, and may press on with that.
GTAV before it’s no longer on sale…
Hopefully at Xmas time GTA but i am not so sure anymore.
Alien Isolation, I’ve asked for nappies for christmas.
Pokemon Omega Ruby
Forza Horizon 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Drakengard 3, Disgaea 4, Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix and Etrian Odyssey IV are my current plans at the moment. There may be some BL TPS and Diablo 3 with friends in there somewhere too.
Completely forgot about Drakengard 3, I never started it because the Japanese voice pack seemed to be glitched with no way of activating it I guess I’ll log on my PS3 and see if they ever patched that =/
You have to activate the voice pack in the extras section, the one that’s intuitively* labelled “Change Costumes/Music”.
* It makes no sense at all.
Warlords of Draenor, Far Cry 4 and Dragon age Inquisition, that’s hoping WoW doesn’t consume my entire December.
Mother 3, yeah, you read that right.
Also getting that Far Cry 4 platinum.
EDIT: Now I’m just going to spend December doing the most fucked-up, depraved things possible in GTA V now that violence against men is a-okay!
Dragon Age Inquisition. That and finishing off Season 2 of the Walking Dead.
Persona Q
Theatrhythm FF Curtain Call
GTA V
Ni No Kuni
Mario Kart 8
Super Mario 3D World
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Far Cry 4
Alien: Isolation
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire
GTA V
Bayonetta 1 & 2
TLOU Remastered
Hyrule Warriors DLC
Mario Kart DLC
I cannot wait for the Christmas break to get stuck into these some more.
Just finished the elite four in pokemon omega ruby so I’ll be doing the post game of that.
Also will be doing some side areas in dragon age, playing through the halo collection and playing shadow of mordor. My christmas list has a lot of games on it too so I imagine my girlfriend will have picked up some of those for me too.
Myself. I’m playing with myself.
At this stage Mount and Blade Warband. While there could be so many improvements made to the game, as a whole it’s a completely different gaming experience to almost anything else I have played and I can’t get enough of it.
Going to pick up Persona Q. Given my limited gaming time these days that should get me through December.
I’m going to play with Haggis too, bite the tip off his sausage
Finishing Witcher 2 to get ready for 3 and Arma III #nonconforming
Smash Bros, Bayonetta 1 & 2, Dungeons: Gold Edition.
FarCry 4, Sleeping Dogs Remastered, GTA V (unless i recieve 41,000 signature not to).
Also really want to finish Metro Redux 100% Lots to do
Euro Truck Simulator 2. Gonna ignore relative SO HARD at Christmas while playing this game.
But sorta joking aside (I am going to play ETS2 after picking it up on Steam for a few bucks), I might finally install and play Farcry 3, plus I’m making my own game from scratch (learning XNA for fun) so that should be enough gaming to last me until work returns in January.
Dragon Age, Destiny, Mordor, LOU Remastered, Divinity: Original Sin.
Mainly DA:I, though.
I joined a nullsec corp in Eve and am currently having a blast (literally; I’ve been joined for a week and I’ve exploded countless times).
Have some screenshots of some fun fleet ops I’ve been involved in:

Eating or sleeping are going to have to fall by the wayside. Between work, end-of-year gatherings, Christmas shopping, renovations and occasionally talking with my wife I’m trying to fit in:
Dragon Age Inquisition
Crusader Kings 2 (2 years late to the party, but at least my lesbian queen is giving me sons)
Prison Architect
Walking Dead
Borderland: the Pre-Sequal
Mostly Arma 3 Epoch, that and my pile of shame
CS GO (mac)
Far Cry 4 (PS4)
Battlefield 4 (PS4)
Advanced Warfare (PS4)
Destiny (PS4)
Getting really sick of fps. I can’t really think of any games that have recently come out that interest me, besides maybe shadow of mordor or geometry wars. Any suggestions? I’m not really interested in Dragon Age and i have already played GTA V on PS3.
Has anyone played This War of Mine? If so, would you recommend it?
More Dragon Age, more Rocksmith 2014, more Destiny, more Pokemon OR. That should tide me over until January.
Borderlands 2 Hammerlock and Tiny Tina
Tales from the Borderlands
Game of Thrones (Telltale)
Never Alone
Thief (almost finished my platinum run)
Miku (always Miku. ALWAYS MIKU!)
Soul Sacrifice Delta
GTAV
WoD, MK8, Worms Golf, Smash Bros
Dragon Age: Inquisition, Destiny: The Dark Below, Shadow of Mordor, Bayonetta 2.
Three weeks of gaming goodness!!!
