I'm replaying The Witcher 3. I beat it once last summer, but my Geralt was a bit overpowered for Hearts of Stone, so I'm trekking through it again to get to level 28-30, making some choices differently along the way. I'm currently in Skellige, just starting the "King's Gambit"-quest. I want to side with Halmjar this time, because I chose Cerys before, but apparently that will lock me out of the Place of Power beneath the castle. So I'm probably gonna side with Cerys again. Besides, I'm a sucker for scarred redheads.

As a fan of WRPG's, this is everything I want in a game. I loved the previous two installments, but this one blew me away. The music, the graphics, the fantastic quests, the atmosphere - it's a masterpiece. Yes, I'm a fanboy, and whenever someone badmouths this game, I get an urge to defend it (which I don't of course, that way lies madness).

It has its problems though. Combat can be frustrating: getting stuck in objects while dodging, sometimes spotty hit detection, the game often refusing to lock on the enemy right in front of me while cycling through targets thirty feet away... It can be glitchy at times as well. But it's all worth it. Game of the goddamn decade. It'll be years before we see anything this good again.

Last game I beat before that was Batman Arkham Asylum (really late to that party, I know). Afterwards I started on Arkham City but it didn't really click with me.

My roommate downloaded Forza Motorsport 4 for his Xbone. I've been playing that more than him.

Also been playing Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright and Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC.

The last game I beat? Fallout 4.

I also still have a laundry list of games I still need to finish. Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, Dawn of War 2, Witcher 3, Devil Survivor 1 and 2, Far Cry 4, and Xenoblade Chronicles. There's also Papers, Please! and the DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition.

I desperately need to sit down and knock a few of these out. I've basically beaten Witcher 3, maybe that's where I'll wind up.

Well awesome to have you here too brother.

And as a fan of Enemy Unknown, I look forward to giving X-Com 2 a go someday. But I will be playing on the easier difficulties as I just like playing through a game to have my fun when there's an option.

As to things I would like to play through at some point: My pile of shame is so immense that it's overwhelming sometimes.

Yea I personally learned my lesson with Steam and other retail outlets. To avoid buying games I can't see myself playing within the next 1-3 months tops. And while I haven't been able to dive into my Steam backlog with no gaming PC of my own yet. I finished almost all the last gen games on consoles I was interested in, between the PS3 and 360.

My strategy is usually that I try finishing the story a game before buying the sequel. But Steam sales are just a thing made out of pure temptation... Luckily, I think I bought almost everything that I had on my wishlist, so I can finally start playing the stuff. But as I already wrote: There're sooo many games that I'm really interested in (going all the way back to PS2/SNES titles) that I have to prioritize.

I'm playing GTA V, DCU Online, The Crew, and Rebuild 3. I last beat The Crew, and am currently working on getting better cars/gear for MP.

Pros and cons? I've done GTA before, but....

DCU Online:
+Free.
+My friends will play.
+Superheroes!
-a lot of the creation options look plain awful, and that's on top of my issues with attire choices.
-game seems to lag pretty bad. As the designated healer, it's annoying to see my friends' health bars at full when trying to figure out who just said they needed healing, only to see they're all already dead.
-Not enough Booster Gold.

Rebuild 3:
+Massive improvement over prior games.
-ummm...chows down my tablet's battery?

The Crew:
+novelty of driving coat to coast, the distinct regions look distinct.
+You can beat the game solo with a starter car.
+lots of races, skills, etc.
+quite a bit of fun playing in a crew.
-really terrible game balance. While the game is beatable with a starter car, the game can outrun you even if you have triple the recommended specs.
-The story mode. Like, all of it.
-"Hey, Amy, we know you just spent two hours upgrading your car so it would have the best possible gear, but we want you to get into this really terrible vehicle to do some timed segment because reasons. That's right, sometimes we explain it, but often we really don't. Hope you don't mind."
-map size. It's cool at first, but there's little to justify it.

I think is better to write my opinion like you did. More easier and to the point.
Also I didn't new DCU was still around. Didn't they said it was closing?

 

[FalloutJack]

Well, hell, I recently got a lovely Enclave powersuit all nice and upgraded and I'm having oh-so-much fun...

Fallout 4, of course.

 

[Something Amyss]

Also I didn't new DCU was still around. Didn't they said it was closing?

Did they? I don't know. My friends are all console players (well, the ones I play with most are), and so the number of MMO style games they might try is limited. So when they got PS4s, it was like, "hey, this is apparently still a thing, let's give it a shot!"

I just read in Wikia they just merge their servers, so it seems I was wrong. Sorry to cause a panic.

I am currently playing The Witcher 3. I wasn't keen on it to begin with but it has grown on me quite a bit, I would even say that have fallen in love with it. It is not without its faults, the combat is not great an getting repeatedly gangbanged by a bunch of enemies is not fun. The movement is a bit clunky and riding a horse is a pain in the arse if you go off the beaten trail. But yeah, I like it. The missions, which are basically "go here, kill monster" are kept interesting by having stories to tell. Not that far into it, but I like it.

The last game I beat was Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. Its depressing a Hell but I really enjoyed this short but beautiful game. Though having played it, Brothers: A Tale of Two Twats might have been a better name going by some of the stuff they do.

 

[Cowabungaa]

I switch a lot between games. Currently it's:

- Fallout 4
- Mechwarrior Online
- System Shock 2
- Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
- Shadowrun: Hong Kong
- Dwarf Fortress

It's also why I take so long to finish games, if I finish them at all or if they're games that can be finished. I think the last one I finished was a complete Westerado: Doubled Barreled playthrough last Christmas.

 

[Sharia]

I completed Simon the Sorcerer, I still absolutely love the game. I just started up Phantasy Star II as I haven't played II & III for quite some time.

 

[Aeshi]

Like one or two other people here, I've been playing through Shadowrun Returns series after buying it in the recent sale.

Just trying to decide what sort of character to go with for Hong Kong, and I might do a second playthrough of Dragonfall after that.

 

[CaitSeith]

Bloodborne. I'm addicted to the Chalice Dungeons (please send help!)

 

[Captain Marvelous_v1legacy]

Currently playing Total War: Shogun 2. Don't know what constitutes beating this game, so I'm just playing. Also playing Pokemon Omega Ruby. I'm about to take on the Elite Four. I will not waste time trying to catch any legendary. Maybe. I'll officially consider the game beaten After I've taken on the Elite four a second time.

The game I've beaten recently is Far Cry 4. Killed Amita and Pagan Min. After that I found Sabal doing something I really hated and killed him to. It's amazing how everyone in that game sucks.

 

[Gray-Philosophy]

Currently frequenting Planetside2, along with a few others every now and then. I tend to jump between games a lot.

Most recently completed a challenging playthrough of Dishonored. I tried going for the Ghost, Mostly Flesh and Steel and Clean Hands achievements in a single playthrough. And I did it! An excellent game indeed!
(Don't get seen by anyone ever, don't use any magical upgrades at all besides blink and don't kill anyone)

 

[Cold Shiny]

I'm still playing lots of Don't Starve. Its easily my favorite game on steam, so much so that I just call steam my "Don't Starve Client" Seriously, best survival game on the market right now, and the multiplayer's great.

I'm still playing Xenoblade Chronicles X. The game definitely has a lot of problems (bad story, bad interface) but there's no denying that its an awesome JRPG, and its easily one of the best looking games on the WiiU, aside from bayonetta 2.

 

[Samatas]

Bloodborne. I'm addicted to the Chalice Dungeons (please send help!)

You aren't alone...
I played all chalices dungeons before the dlc was released and I was op as hell.
Poor dlc bosses never stood a chance although they were all awesome except one lol.
I want to start a new character to get my last 2 ending trophies I'm discouraged because I'll need to play the dungeons to get a couple of gems before finishing the game..

On topic I just finished Game of Thrones and I'm in NG++ in DS2:scholar of the first sin.

 

[Elfgore]

Playing Now

Persona 4: Golden- Fantastic game and I've been loving every second of it.
Far Cry: Primal- Actually pretty fun and surprisingly hasn't gotten old after ten hours of playing. Still filled with Ubisoft's repetitive activities though.

Last Beat

I honestly can't remember. Most games I play don't really end.
