BUMP!

Lets get this topic back on track

So whats everyone playing at the moment?

For me I am playing Dead Space 3, not as good as 1 or 2 at all, but really ramps it up near the end.
Thinking tonight I will finally get around to LoZ OoT, I have started it so many times but just never get to adult Link and give up. So going to use a walkthrough this time.

Got a WiiU at Xmas but not much out for it at the moment, a friend gave me Darksiders for it at the weekend, so thats on the list to play too.
Also playing Might Switch Force HD, good for 10mins of play.

Retro wise, I picked up Mario Kart DD (again) so cant wait to give that another go. And also got 'Mario the Lost Levels', damn that games hard!

I'm not playing anything because I'm doing a stupid thesis and I didn't bring my consoles home when I moved back in with my Dad- they're in storage up in Dublin. I'm going slightly mad tbh. The closest I can get it some games on my phone. Playing some Civ Rev on there, and a bit of original sonic too. Just feels weird on a touch screen....

Ha, I downloaded that yesterday :P I'm beyond pure useless at it tho.

Got far cry 3 there recently. It's good but people say it's one of the best games to come out in the last few years. I'd disagree

readyletsgo · 25-02-2013 01:54PM

Ah the aul touch screen games, not amazing, nothing better than a proper button controller!

But i did get a free game called pixel dungeon last week, its still beta but good for a android game and looks awesome too!

Fry Cry 3, mah tbh, Bioshock is next on my to buy list next month!!!!! That and Luigi's Mansion.

I don't seem to have much gaming time these days but when I do I like to (still) play:
Halo 4
EVE Online
League of Legends
Guild Wars 2 (like WoW but not ****e and no smelly subscription or 50 notifications a day they your account has been hacked :P)
Star Trek - Birth of the federation (reeeeally old but still loves it >_< )

1ZRed · 25-02-2013 02:05PM

While we're talking about far cry 3 :pac:

I am loving Assassins Creed at the moment

Daith · 25-02-2013 03:57PM

So far it's being Dishonored. I'm a huge Deus Ex and Thief fan and Dishonored is hitting that spot. Even if the stealth is different from Thief causing me to feck up all the time.

Used to play WoW but got bored of it. Was fun for a while.

Finished FF6 on the SNES a while back. Cracking game. Love the steampunk aesthetic to it and the shift in tone.

I just logged onto Discworld MUD for the first time in ages. That's the "game" that has sucked up most of my time over the years. Not bad for text based game.

Rick_ · 25-02-2013 04:06PM

For me it's just been my NES/SNES/MegaDrive that's been played the last while, modern gaming just doesn't have that extra something the retro consoles/games had! Can't wait until I get my new bedroom sorted out and get a big TV on the wall and connect all my consoles up to it for some big screen retro fun!

HA! I have an Acorn Electron my dad game me... I love retro gaming

Rick_ · 25-02-2013 04:15PM

I must dig out my N64 and Gamecube and plug those in too. Haven't played Mario Sunshine and Goldeneye in a while!

Ahh Dishonored! One of my favourite games of last year, extremely underrated game!

HOLD ON GATE!
We've been holding for three hours.
THEY'RE ON THE OTHER SIDE, THEY'LL JUMP SOON
Did someone say jump? I just jumped.
*sigh*
EVERYONE JUMP THROUGH, I HOPE YOUR CLONE IS UP TO DATE

It's an entertaining game if you have multiple hours of doing nothing otherwise. :P

I'm currently playing "learn to program." The plan is to eventually make those games I spent so much time playing.

My collection of consoles and games is currently languishing in storage in Dublin. It's probably good though, I have like 8 consoles and well over 100 games, it gets a bit much sometimes! Next on my purchase list is a Mega Drive or a SNES.

My gf doesn't game, but I knew it must be love when she went and bought me a NES with Duck Hunt, Mario 1 and 3 and the proper light gun. She's a keeper.

Meesared · 26-02-2013 01:56AM

Check out RAGE on Fade St, it has them in stock and games

Oh, I'm not allowed in there any more. I spend too much money.

Lol, love RAGE, had to stop going in too, spent way too much.

Started Darksiders 2 on the Wii U last night, jaysus its awesome on the small screen! Playing it in my bed for hours with the TV off, finally the future has come

She's totally a keeper!! Lucky.

Ah, Mario 1, have it on the 3DS, cant wait to play 3 on the Wiiu on the gamepad, if it ever gets a release on that system, Ninty seem to drip out their old games on the Wii so I imagine it'll be a 3 year wait again for its release on the WiiU.

In order to make this thread more LGBT orientated... Mario is not as good looking as Luigi. Discuss.

If you really wanna make it LGBT oriented: what does everyone think of Poison, the trans character in SFxT? On one hand it's kinda cool that they don't belittle her and say she's not a real woman, but on the other hand the whole "you're stronger than you look, being deceived by your appearance is a trap" dialog seems like it could be construed as making her the butt of a joke.

haha, ugh those fleets do my nut in. I only recently moved to null space where action seems to happen at a far quicker pace with jump bridges black ops n junk. I was struggling to keep up :P

Davyhal · 26-02-2013 05:40PM

For the first time in like 2 years, I paid a visit to Dublin and didn't visit RAGE this weekend... Every time I go there, I pick up more GameCube games, but then end up just replaying Tales of Symphonia... Damn, I love that game...

1ZRed · 26-02-2013 06:11PM

Playing red dead redemption atm. Easily one of my favorite games and way better than gta imo

Ash885 · 26-02-2013 06:16PM

Rebooted the old PS2 and now I'm like a kid at Christmas going through all the relics in my game box. Crash team racing has to be the best game ever made, period.

Vojera · 04-03-2013 09:08AM

I'm playing Braid, but waiting hard on my pre-ordered Tomb Raider to arrive.

TO_ARTHUR! · 04-03-2013 05:15PM

I got a gameboy color emulator for the phone and I've playing Pokemon Red like a mad yoke for the past few days. Really starting to dislike that Gary fella:mad:

Good name for him man. Obnoxious, aggressive, showing-off little sh*t:mad::( Always challenging me to random fights. I take such pleasure in having my Pokemon beat his:D Quite possibly more than beating the gym leaders:cool::pac: I think we have a rivalry going...

ewan whose army · 04-03-2013 09:26PM

Playing Final Fantasy XVIII after I picked it up since someone said it was good. Its the prettiest and most imaginative game I have ever played

Daith · 04-03-2013 09:29PM

Woo, I found my DSLite. This will make the commute on the Luas a bit nicer. Though I probably should be reading instead. I may have to alternate.
