The 'What are you Playing?' Thread

[KingBroly]

In this thread, please discuss what games you've been playing as of late.

[MAGNUS-8M]

I've been busy trying to get back into art, so I've mostly been "playing" GIMP and watching-Youtube-videos for procrastinating between that when I shouldn't be.

...but I've been trying to keep up with DOA:D's DLC every day the past couple weeks, as well as keeping up with Pokedex-3D's daily updates, and trying to figure out why Nintendo Video decides to update every day. When I can get past that, I try to play some of the Ambassador NES games, such as getting through the first Zelda so I can finally get to an actual attempt at Zelda 2 at some point, and trying out the more arcadey NES games as well now and then. I've been putting off OoT3D because of DOA:D's daily DLC stuff, but hopefully I can get back into it again soon.

I want to play more Minecraft, but this borrowed laptop can barely handle it.. it's a bit of a let-down every time I try...it works, but it can get so choppy sometimes, so I never do much now. I also want to finish some Wii games and get back into MH3, but all of the above are easier to get into, and I'm still putting those things off, so it'll be a long time in coming.

At the moment, I'm very glad I'm not a multi-system owner, I can barely keep up with the few 3DS games I have, let alone PC and Wii gaming on top of it. I like being able to concentrate on just a few games at a time anyway, really.

been playing Space Marine MP. luv it.

I just finished playing Limbo the other day, which I really enjoyed. If you've not played it already I'd recommend it if you like 2D platformers/ puzzles, so called 'art games' or just appreciate dark humour. It's ridiculously hard, but it's so over-the-top and the deaths are so gruesome that it's more amusing than annoying. The fact it can be that and still be really beautiful is why I enjoyed it so much.

As well as that I've been playing Portal 2. Finished the single player a few days ago and started the co-op today. Despite the pacing being a little on the slow side for one or two parts in the single player (and the load times being an absolute pain in the arse), it was pretty much an improvement over the first game in every way. Longer, deeper, the writing and acting were uniformly brilliant and the way they ended the story was perfect.

Other than that I've still got LBP's single player to beat, I'm still playing GT 5 sporadically and I'm progressing (slowly) through the DS remake of FF IV.

You are an evil, evil man for not sharing stories.

Anyways, I went back and continued Demon's Souls. It's really a nice change of pace I think after all of the fast-paced games I've been playing.

[Koopzilla]

I've been playing
Star Fox 64 3D- as good as I remember, but better.
Zelda 2- Yet another attempt on beating it, in 20 years I have never finished it. Just as infuriating as ever.
Punch-Out Wii- pretty good, but I have about given up hope of ever beating title defense mode.
Fragile Dreams- seems pretty cool, but I haven't gotten too far into it yet.
I just beat Bowsers Inside Story.

[Skull-Kid]

Xenoblade Chronicles: 40 hours of gameplay, I'm at the swamp, level 31, all explored, all the sidequests done (at least I think).

Before this, I played Paper Mario 2 (all done, including the pit of 100 trials) and One Piece Gigant Battle (everything unlocked).

[Rock Lobster]

Recently I've been playing Super Mario Galaxy 2(Have around 118 stars) and Mega Man 64(up to the dungeon in Clozer Woods)
Unfortunately, Emerson College-my new place of residence-and my 3DS don't agree with each other, so I have no access to wi-fi and haven't been able to pick up my ambassador games yet. That said, I did beat Ocarina of Time 3D last night.

[Eternal Rain]

I'm playing through the Silent Hill series again since Halloween is coming up next month. I'm also trying to finally beat Okami. Lastly I'm playing through the Master Quest of OoT 3D. Pretty neat to play through the redesigned dungeons. Almost gives off the feeling of playing a new game.

[PaperLink64]

I've finished Final Fantasy VI on the Virtual Console and The Legendary Starfy on DS at the beginning of this week. Now, I've started on Chrono Trigger, also on the Virtual Console. I also put in some time into Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars in between RPG sessions. Pretty good week in terms of progress so far.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii): Still getting those green starts; slowly but surely...

The Legend of Zelda (3DS): First time playing this game thanks to the ambassador program. Game is ridiculously hard though. I've died more times in the first 10 minutes than all the other Zelda games I have played combined. lol

Sonic Colors (Wii): Slowly making my way through the game. Most fun I have had with a Sonic game since Sonic Adventure 2.

(That's all I have played recently.)

[Koopzilla]

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii): Still getting those green starts; slowly but surely...

Just wait til you get to that last one, it took me hours and probably close to a hundred lives.

The last one isn't a Green Star though...

Beat Demon's Souls. The final boss was very anti-climactic. Of course after the game just said 'keep playing, sucka!' and I was kinda surprised at how smooth a transition that was.

I got and beat 3 planets in Star Fox 64 3D. I don't know if having a save in-between each planet feature is a good idea for it or not. I'm used to playing it all the way through and that's it. It's still fun though, and I appreciate battle mode against bots.

[Blue_Falcon]

I'm playing- wait for it- Other M. Bought it last week for $10.

[MalikHalo]

Bought it last week for $10.

Sounds about right.


I've been playing Pokemon Black. I beat the story and have just been kind of screwing around. Not being able to take advantage of Poke Transfer makes me QQ.

Yeah I thought the exact same thing. I mean I'm not sure how much harder they could have made it without being too annoying, but it wasn't particularly spectacular. Pretty forgettable. I keep meaning to go back and play through that game again in my old file to try and platinum it. I remember there being some things you couldn't possibly do without a second play through's worth of levelling-up. And once I got into levelling up and making weapons I was totally addicted to it for a while.

[KingBroly]

Yesterday morning I got Platinum in Demon's Souls. Thanks to various tricks, I was able to easily get it. It took a bit of trading online for it to work though. Oh well.

Beat Star Fox 64 3D. I'm going to do an all-lower path playthrough without quitting at some point. Hopefully I'll be able to get a Mission Accomplished on Macbeth as long as I find Switch #5.

Also got 3-stars of all Missions in Pilotwings Resort through Bronze. I doubt I'll get 3-stars for every Mission though when it's all said and done.

[sundin13]

Oh dear...platinum in demon's souls ;~;

That game has broken me and im only on the second boss. Any tips? haha

Anyways, ive been playing uncharted 2 again lately...im basically in the very end part. I need to buy some more wii games soon, im low on games

[KingBroly]

Tips? Duplicate Demon's Souls for Infinite Experience. That's how I did it.

I've been playing Gears of War 3 mostly. Beat the Campaign in Hardcore, did all 50 Waves of Horde, almost did all 12 waves of Beast on Insane. I'll be trying Campaign on Insane soon as well. I enjoy it, but I doubt I'll stick around for a long time.

[VoodooThursday]

Right now I'm playing a mix of Xenoblade Chronicles and Monkey Island 3, the latter I hope to finish very soon in fact!

Other than that I've spent a shedload of time on Panel De Pon in between classes, shovel's addictive yo.

[Ngamer01]

I'm playing Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition, Mario's Picross, and Mario vs. DK: Minis March Again on my 3DS.

I'm in the last area of Four Swords in the main game, I'm taking on the Star Course puzzles in Mario's Picross, and I'm in the last world of Minis March Again.

[KingBroly]

Super Mario Land 2 - Beat the two left-side courses before stopping. I didn't beat every level though. I will do so before going to the final level.

Pilotwings Resort - Making a tiny bit of progress, and I'm now into Gold Territory. I won't get 3-stars on every course though, because they seem too tedious at this point.

Dead or Alive Dimensions - Just the Weekly Throwdown. I spent a few Coins on Figurines, but that's it.

Find Mii - Up to the Final Boss in Round 2. Now to grind out about 10 days worth of Play Coins.

Ico - Started it, got to the first couch.

Shadow of the Colossus - Started it, beat 1 Colossus, 2 Lizards, 1 Fruit.

Gears of War 3 - Beat the final boss on Insane. Worst.Final Boss.Ever.

[thresholdXCI]

I'm probably going to be finishing up with LBP 2 soon. Got the final boss to do (and a couple of levels to ace) in the single player as well as sink a couple of hours into the community levels. I finally have an idea for a cool level of my own too, so I'll get stuck into that later as well.

[SmashX5000]

I've been playing Ocarina of Time 3D. Been going at a pace of about 1 dungeon or temple a day, so it's been lasting me pretty long. (I would make more progress, but I got school.) Still haven't even started Master Quest yet, or most of the sidequests.

Also thinking about playing Punch-Out!! for Wii again. I always love playing that game.
