Thread: What game are you currently playing?

I haven't heard from From Dust before. I do remember Populous.. ah the good times. I think I have a look, thanks TheKing

To save you, and anyone else who is interested time, here is the link: From Dust on Steam

Thanks to Steam, I have over 200 games on my computer, but now, I am also not buying games new until they are much cheaper. Deus Ex, for example, looks amazing, and I loved the first two, but $60 is WAY too much.

From Dust looks good. A combination of B&W and Populous. Many seem to complain that the current patch is buggy though?

I am really not finding any major bugs. The game is a bit frustrating on some levels because you are manipulating the geography in a puzzle manner.

The last new (to me) game I've played was Hexen (N64 port) which I bought a couple days ago. Pretty neat so far.

I've been playing Diablo 2 again lately. That game's as old as WoW or older, and has only had 1 expansion, but it's still great as MMORPG's go. The structure is a little different from most, which is interesting. Plus it's free to play

In think the camera is annoying, otherwise no bugs found myself. I don't know what bugs others claimed to found. But camera is only thing that iirritates me, it moves on its own when I don't want it to. It takes it time to go in its place. Otherwise interesting game, especially the physic mechanics and graphics.

The absolute worst part is that the camera will focus on things while the game runs. I had that happen while my village was on fire. It was less than a minute clip, but the fire took out the village. Also, some things work very weirdly. Like dirt will spawn back after you clear it off rock or water trees will explode before the fire starts.

The last game I played was DOOM. But not the original doom, it was online! And it was a mod. I was playing ZDOOM wars which is pretty cool. You get to pick a faction from the ID series (Doomguy, Corvus, Daedolon, Strifeguy, Chexguy, and C375) and then you spawn armies to fight other players. Last Man Standing wins.

Here's a video to give you an example (it's 31 minutes though, I couldn't find a better video)

We have a "what are you reading," "what are you watching" and a "what are you listening to" thread, so why not a "what are you playing" thread? I don't see it in the similar threads box, so sorry if this is a duplicate! Post a synopsis of the game or a trailer, or just the title of the game.

Anyway, I'm playing a bunch of touhou games and a visual novel for the PC called Ever17. It's about a group of people who are trapped in an under water theme park, and they have to try to survive until help comes. It's really suspenseful and has an awesome and complicated story.


So what is everyone else on DV playing?

Terrific idea. I am currently playing nothing :c but I am making a game for facebook c:

Cool, what language do you need to know to make a Facebook game?

Tomb Raider - Anniversary and quite a lot of Left 4 Dead 2. If anyone else plays the latter, feel free to add me to Steam. My screen name is Dianeva. I play both campaign and versus, I have a mic and I'm fairly good. But I play for fun, mostly friends-only games. I can't stand people who try to tell everyone else what to do the entire game and get pissed off at someone for making a mistake. When someone starts doing that I can't concentrate and just leave, so don't add me if you're like that.

It really is a good game. On the surface it might seem a bit repetitive (and I hate repetitive games) but it isn't. There's enough variation to keep it fun no matter how much you play. It can be taken seriously or just played for fun, and can be pretty social when you're playing with a game full of people with mics. Sorry if this is too much 'advertizing' for this thread. It also seems to me that people who play L4D2 are more mature than most gamers, the ones on my friends-list at least.

These guys are pretty entertaining to watch play.


I also play Minecraft, although I haven't been for the last few days since I used to play with my bf and don't really have anyone to play with now.

I was thinking of buying minecraft. A lot of people make some pretty awesome projects. I think DV has it's own minecraft server, or at least I remember reading about it somewhere.

Yes, I actually just went in it for the first time a couple nights ago. I might try going back and starting my own house there, but it's really difficult. There are just too many people there. I wandered the map for a long time and couldn't find any really good locations that weren't already taken. And it's so big I feel like I've just entered a world that's already inhabited. I like starting from scratch and feeling like the world is my own, and I don't get that with a huge populated server.

I've been swapping between Skyward Sword and Sanctum, both excellent games well worth my time.

Perfect World International

People can be picky about their MMORPGs but this is my favorite so far. That trailer doesn't represent the gameplay at all though.

Oh I'll add that there isn't a good line of communication between the fans and the game devs so it can be frustrating when you want them to do something and they don't listen.

Dark Souls, Put 70 hours in 2 weeks O:

The online is perfect, one of the best in any video game of all time, its very difficult, And I posted videos and music and screenshots in the 'Post video game screenshots, videos, etc here thread'. So here I'll post only the first cutscene. See the other thread if you want to see more.

The beginning of this is boring but it gets better



AND..... BUY THIS GAME! IT NEEDS MORE SALES >:O

Wtf? The matchmaking system is horrid! It's impossible to play with friends unless you are willing to spend 30+ minutes rebooting your system to hope that you get into the same queue. And PvP is an absolute joke. If 1.05 would be released already it might be better, but at the moment PvP is completely broken.
Still a good game though. Game of the Year in my book, but that isn't saying much. It started off absolutely amazing, but kind of started going down hill after you ring the second bell. And sadly the final boss and the ending sequence were terrible. The final boss would have been a great first form, but I was thoroughly disappointed when there wasn't a 2nd form.
And the difficulty level was nice, but not nearly as difficulty as they had it hyped up to be. I was expecting(and hoping for) it to be a lot worse. It made me really want to play Demon Souls, but I don't want to plop down $300 for a ps3.


I'm currently playing Castlevania: Curse of Darkness for PS2. My friend had already beaten it so I was able to start on Crazy Difficulty. It started out at least twice as hard as Dark Souls, but now I've gotten pretty overpowered and it's probably equally as easy as Dark Souls was.

I plan on picking up God of War soon. And I'm also considering starting an Expert game on Kingdom Hearts, and Star Ocean 3. Dunno which one of those I'll tackle first, hopefully they are able to provide a challenge. (I'm on a PS2 binge if you can't tell ).

If anybody knows of any difficult Platformer/Action/RPGs for PS2 lemme know. I recently realized how much better last gen single player games were, so I've been on the look out for good PS2 games.

Demons Souls Online was WAYYYYY BETTER! There were no covenants and you could invade infinitely from the beginning. Everything about demons souls online was better I'd say. I guess I was talking more of the concept of invading and summoning more on the actual 'takes forever to work' thing.

Speaking of which, Demons Souls was way worse though. ANNND, patch 1.05 was released... wonder were you've been off too...

EDIT: Kingdom Hearts 1 or 2?

Of course Im playing assassins creed revelations! Great game! Also playing skyrim and League of legends

Currently playing Monster Hunter Portable 3rd on my PSP and Pokemon Fire Red on my Emulator. I know, playing pokemon is like, for kids but hey, it's a classic that's worth playing again

Try mother 3, same tactical, turn based gameplay, but with an awesome story. Forgot to add it to my list of games I'm playing.

Pokemon isn't THAT childish. Plus, it's something everyone knows and loves anyway.

I was playing Glitch before I skipped town for a while, and while at my mom's place last week, pulled out Alpha Centauri a couple times.

Medieval total War 2

Best Game!

I'm currently playing Dead Island, Crysys 2, Split second, Rage and Skyrim. I play them in short bursts, that way each game seems longer Otherwise I won't get up until I finish the game
