Hmm technically playing a few but I dont think I will continue many lets see:-
Understory - indefinite hold as lost interest.
Witcher 2 - On hold possibly indefinite as game crashed and cant be arsed to redo the section.
Grimrock 2 - may continue as was enjoying it a lot but game crashed and I lost about 10 min playtime so dunno.
Age of Empires 2 - Playing slowly will continue as a friend loves the game and I am enjoying it so far.
Shogun 2 Total War - Undecided if I like it or not so will play a bit more yet.
Spec Ops the Line - Indefinite hold it just failed to engage me at all after 4 hours.
Conan (PS3) - Indefinite hold near the end but the game sucks so stopped.
Trinity Souls of Zill Ol - On hold but will try again but not holding out hope it will be good.
Tearaway - Indefinite hold as lost interest.
Sword art online Lost song - indefinite hold as lost interest.
Ok think that is all the ones I have tried in the last 2 months most of them were yesterday. I dont have much time to play now and I have loads of unplayed games so unless a game really grips me I tend to toss it pretty quick now. I have others on the back burner I sometimes return to but left those off for brevity.
As for games I am actively playing at the moment like a few times a week well there are none dont have the time or even inclination at the moment but Project Zero 5 or/and Xenoblade Chronicles X will likely be the ones to change that.

These three-
Guild Wars 2- I'm pretty much an addict at this point.
Skylanders Spyro Adventures- What? It was £10 at work and the figures were £3 each so I bought six. It's a niffy game (I like the gimmick that the figure you bought will appear in the game) since I haven't played platforming in a while but I can get the whole "give them more money" aspect of the game (certain gates can be unlocked by an element type). Regardless I admit I kinda starting getting into the franchise but with self control of course (no way in hell am I buying Superchargers or previous games and figures unless they are on sale like Swap Force in one of this toy store over here).
Tomodachi Life- I played this during my break at work. It kinda like Animal Crossing (well ok not quite but it a huge plus no one leave) so it's a simple picked up and played sort of game especially when I only have half an hour break.
Yes I have other games to played but so far I have not invested any amount of time into them at the moment.

Firstly it's huge. You can be a bounty hunter, pirate, explorer, miner, trader or get involved in macro/micro politics. There's literally hundreds of thousands of galaxies. Aside from Frame Shift Drive which allows FTL travel, everything is pretty realistic. Ships and space stations are built to a realistic scale. Some things are massive, some tiny.
Next it's difficult but in a rewarding way. It never holds your hand, the basics are easy but no one ever tells you things like optimizing your ships power modules to overclock the number of systems you run. Using and disabling flight assist, using lateral and vertical thrusters to complete crazy manures. Small commonsense things like instead of downgrading the size of your fuel tank to save mass, just running with it half full.
While there's a natural progression of upgrading ships, there's no "best ship" you can buy. All ships have neat roles they can play. A maxed out cheap ship (with a good pilot) can often trounce a poorly upgraded expensive ship . The upgrades you buy are 100%refundable and ships are ~90% (less because you can strip and downgrade parts), so there's no barrier (at least early on) to experimenting and trying out new ships.
Finally, if you pour some more money into it, I understand it's an experience almost unparalleled. I don't have an occulus rift developer kit but apparently it's amazing, turning your head to look out the windows in a dog fight. I've bought a Hands-On-Throttle-And-Stick or HOTAS (which hasn't arrived yet) to really capture the flight controls. Finally if you install voice attack, you can program complex macros to a single phrase like "punch it" to close all hardpoints and charge the warp drive to escape. Voice attack has numerous voice to speech options so you can have an computer that repeats the orders back, switch on your music player and you can even program it to banter for certain phrases. My dreams of building Gay Deceiver out of Heinlein's Number of the Beast is a real possibility.
Regardless of all this. I'm only playing it on laptop with a 360 controller and I'm having a blast. I can see it not being for everyone, but I have never been a simulator fan and I'm obsessed.

Just finished Life is Strange, it was really good, it started out fairly weak but with each episode it actually got better and the ending was quite good, definitely worth a play, I might do a replay and go for the other ending, of course this time I going to be 100% gay for Chloe instead of two-timing Chloe and Warren... That's how I roll!
Besides that, well waiting for Tales from the Borderlands episode 5, which I'm super exited for and Game of Thrones Episode 6 which I'm not exited for at all but what the hell I already played 5 might as well play the last one even if it continues to be shit.
Still in the middle of Valkyria Chronicles and Jean D'Arc (PSP)[footnote]Already bought Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together for when I finish this.[/footnote] because I love turn based strategy, oh yeah I'm still in the middle of and X-Com Enemy Within Long War playthrough too, and I think that is it.
Well there's the occasional LOL game with friends and Dirty Bomb match because I do like multiplayer games but I tend to avoid them because they are too much of a time sink and so are turn based strategy games and I love those even more, so I'd rather choose them.

Blimey. Thank you very much for your response! I must say, this impresses me quite a bit; it seems pretty clear the devs put a great deal of love into this game. I think I'll be picking this one up near Christmas, finances permitting!WolfThomas said:Hard to put into words without gushing.

Planescape... With me being a non-native English speaker, the game is quite the decent practice. Not that it is impossible or too hard to understand, but I really do need the work on my description skills. I'm actually writing down some of the paragraphs and clauses that I find particularly intrinsic and intricate...
Take About games being a source of education!!
Also The Phantom Pain, every now and then. For the kicks...

Just booted up Tales of Zestria, got past the 'tutorial' part. Having a blast so far. Fully expect most of my gaming time to be chewed up by this. Its Tales of Symphonia, with a better control scheme, better in fight camera, and a lot more proficiencys (Almost too many).
I'm also occasionally hitting up Convoy, and taking the occasional stab at getting Mechwarrior 2/3 to work on Win10.
Also, this thread has reminded me I need to play Tales from Borderlands. We'll see how that goes...

I've bored to death everyone I can talk to about it, so it all came gushing out. It's a neat game.Barbas said:
Just completed Dying Light. While I enjoyed it the parkouring sections near the end got kind of cumbersome. You have to time your jumps just right and with the imprecise controls it's fuck fall and start the section over. Fortunately the checkpoints don't set you far back otherwise I would have probably quit out of frustration.
Otherwise I found it a fairly enjoyable game. It taps heavily into the Ubisoft school of game-design(cluttered map to collect random trinkets and crap, fetch quests, tower climbing) even the characters seemed to walk straight out of a Far Cry game. I guess that makes Dying Light Far Cry with zombies without vehicles but with more parkouring. The level design in Dying Light however was excellent. Compliments to that.

Nothing right now. Finished The Witcher 3, did some achievement hunting in Sunset and reinstalled Antichamber because that thread made me want to finish it.
Played Type:Rider and Broken Sword 2 on my Android tablet during a weekend family trip.
I'll probably start playing The Talos Principle once I beat this cold.

I remember thinking... "Man, I wanna play a Tales game again... but which one!?" Between Graces, Xillia, and waiting for Zesteria. I decided to just go out and get Xillia, since it was older I could find it for cheaper.
I started up Tales of Xillia the other day, and I'm greatly enjoying it so far. Only a few hours into it, but it's pretty much your typical Tales game... Simple story, familiar combat, a wide cast of unique well-written characters, and a ton of character interaction. I haven't gotten anyone past Jude, Milla, and Alvin. But the banter between the group is already very amusing... Milla unexpectedly turned out to be far more hilarious than I expected.
Beyond Tales of Xillia, I've been grinding away at Destiny and MGO with friends. And I also started up a fresh new character in Diablo 2 after years of not playing it. I'm greatly enjoying my gaming at the moment, biding my time until Black Ops 3 comes out and possibly Battlefront as well.

Just to immerse myself in October. I love this month and holiday man. I love me some bright orange,yellow and red leaves. That musty festive smell in the air. And damn it do I love Halloween.
