The Official "What Are You Playing Now?" Thread

That damn Steam sale through the last week and a half has not only caused me to buy six games, but also play a lot more. But, that's why I love having a PC as my go to gaming system.

In the last couple weeks I've played/beaten Thief and played/beaten Splinter Cell: Blacklist. I had a lot of fun playing both. Enjoyed Blacklist a bit more, but, I do think the game lacked a little creativity with some of the levels.

 
Just bit the bullet and picked up a Mario WiiU Bundle for $265 (15% Cartwheel coupon, 5% REDCard discount). Will set that thing up tonight and see how it goes.

 
Kick a$$ man let us know!

I bought that same bundle, yet out of my 4 Wii U games, NSMBU was the last one that I beat. Actually just finished it last night. It's really good. Classic Mario. Not groundbreaking though really.

Thanks Tschu!

I messed around with NSMBU for a bit, beat the first world, and then did some 50cc Mushroom Cup action with MK8. Good stuff...but what's funny is that I didn't even bother using the TV--just used the screen for the most part. Going to try ZombiU and Zelda WW tonight, and I picked up Pikmin 3 for my MK8 freebie.

On a related note, thank god I didn't do the Wii until just this past year and only picked up a few retro SNES titles from the store--their transfer process was a pain in the motherf*****g a$$. Cute use of Pikmin...but still a pain. And the whole Wii Backwards compatibility with WiiU...is clumsy at best.

Regardless, I like it, and I'll probably like it more when the WiiU and Wii controller comes in the mail today--then I can retire the WiiMote to the Wii and only use that thing for playing GCN games in Progressive Scan mode.

MK8 is insanely good. I also got Pikmin 3 for my freebie, and keep forgetting that I have it. I need to finish it. Not much for a few months it sounds like in the way of games, just a waiting game for Smash and Zelda now.

Another game that I hear is real good: Shovel Knight, digital download only. 2-D sidescroller straight out of the NES days. I'm sure I'll pick it up at some point. Oh, and Rayman Legends too.

Thanks. I think I'm going to splurge on the NES Remix games, since they're exclusives. Probably will save Shovel Knight for Steam, so I can keep it for more than one console cycle.

 
Splitting my time between three games here lately. Wildstar, Mount and Blade, and Divinity:Original Sin. I would recommend all of them, assuming you are into the genre of each game

 
I was practicing GH2 tonight, but then I started making margaritas. So practice turned unproductive real quick

I'm trying to find that game that I can be competitive at again. Back in the day it was GH2 - me and a buddy are 8th in the world at Co-op. It's f'ing legit. I might try speedrunning 70star in SM64, or trying for times in MK8 or Double Dash. Online play generall doesn't interest me.

Oh man. I've looked for Hot Shots Golf and F-Zero GX at Game Room every time I've been there for the past year. Never could find them. Until today! They actually had both! I am excite

Having spent quite a few hours in Divinity: Original Sin, I very highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of RPGs. If you have fond memories of Baldurs Gate, Planescape: Torment, or The Temple of Elemental Evil, it will stir very good memories.
