The 'What Are You Playing' 2016 Thread

On a side note I started divinity original sin but I'm not sure if I like it to even keep playing

I'll put more time in but it just seems like a giant fukking time sink for little fun or pay off.


Maybe someone can sell me on it here that likes it

I don't go back to work till Jan 4th so I'm gonna try and put a nice dent in Persona 5. I just beat the third dungeon and I'm going on 72 hours game time .

finally playing thru kane & lynch 2 and its gritty as fukk.

it has some fukked up mechanics, clunky sticky controls, dumb ass ai, laughable sound design...unpleasant really but still a tiny bit fun

i might just watch the cutscenes on youtube because the shaky camera its giving me a headache

I'm like 6 hours into divinity original sin now.


Man this game is fukking dense.


Playing co-op with my brother I can see why this is a 100+ hour game

Beat Battlefield 1 campaign on hard last night. It kinda felt like a chore since the first 2 chapters are pretty much entirely vehicle based and I wasn't much of a fan of that. The final chapter was crazy though.
Final Fantasy XV is incredible addictive to me even with some of it's short comings. Im about 7 hours in.

I've been playing nothing but Rock Band 4. I'm addicted again. 4-5 straight hours playing this shyt. I love music and games, and this is a perfect combo. Too bad there's fps drops in certain levels (I'm playing on my X1S because I could import all my previous Rock Band purchases from my 360). Still a great rhythm game.

this game is terrible but the shyt is so raw i cant stop playing it. these dudes running thru the city fresh out of being tortured...butt ass naked and sliced up
if the gameplay was much better this would be one of the illest games

Beat Rock Band 4, expert, almost all 5 stars (the last set is impossible for me )

Another PS Plus title,this time a Vita selection.

I have no prior experience with visual novels on the vita even though they seem to have some type of audience.

So I thought Id dip my toes in and try one out.

Apparently this one belongs to some genre called otome where you play as a girl and pick out a male romantic partner.


Needless to say I made sure I was wearing headphones and quickly switched the screen when somebody walked by me


The game is still voiced in Japanese so you have to read sub titles.

As for the story you wake up with no memories and have to talk internally to some kind of weird imp looking mythical creature.

You then go about trying to figure out who you are while dating some guy.

I can see why they can pump out a lot if these and not have to sell much to break even.


Personally. This just wasn't for me. I don't get it.


The story was never really interesting with 0 pay off.


shyt is basically a dating simulator with an amnesia hook.


It was a struggle for me to finish this. Probably the worst thing I've played this year. Even your choices seemed minor and you never really got a sense you had any control.


2/10

Guitar. I don't have the dexterity and hand, foot coordination for drums. Drums are the hardest instrument to play, in any genre (unless you're using a synth). Using all your limbs and keeping the rhythm...nah...I ain't skilled enough for that.

I listen to a lot of death, grind, doom and black metal and I have no idea how they do it. Drummers are the best musicians in my mind.
