The last game you beat,did you like it and what are you playing next?

The other day I finished Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack! which was pretty fun. Not particularly difficult but if you want to rescue all of the friends then there's some tricky platforming that needs to be done.

Now I'm playing Beyond the Beyond, also known as one of the worst JRPGS of all time, if not THE worst. I have a bit of a thing for playing bad games sometimes. A few hours in now and I have to say, as is the case with what seems like 99% of RPGs from the PS1 era, save states help the game out a lot. Still have to deal with a huge random encounter rate, for instance, but knowing you can save state before you try to run away so that you can basically get away 100% of the time makes the game bearable. Having Samson cursed for 90% of the game is still a god awful idea, though.

Save state.... emulator?

Save state.... emulator?

Yup. I rip all my PS1 discs these days and play them in ePSXe. Still have an old PS2 to USB converter so I'm playing them with an actual dual shock.

Finished Black Ops 2 and Ghost recently. Not bad stories actually. It's still CoD no surprise as to what the campaigns are like. Currently working on AC IV, Dead Rising 3, and NFS Rivals (all xbox one). Just like CoD these games we all know and have all played or seen at least one in the series. Outside of graphics there is nothing different about the games. About halfway through Sleeping Dogs. Outside of some clunky controls and fairly unresponsive fighting controls, the game is really really good. I shall not even start on the 50+ games on the backlog on the comp.

Finished Dead Space 3. I did not like it. The only thing that kept me going was sharing in the ridiculousness and absurdity with a friend the whole way through.

Next up: Thief!

Next up: Thief!

Picked Thief up Tuesday, fully expecting to start a new thread on these forums with a full review. Suffice to say that the game fails on every level for me. I may write more later, but I'm too disappointed to get into it all right now.

I'm interested to hear your review because I don't think the game is bad. It's certainly not classic Thief and the City layout/navigation is HORRIBLE, but the missions are fun to play.

That game doesn't even look slightly interesting to me.

Isn't that AC4?

Isn't that AC4?

That is AC4.

So I'm still working through Bravely Default. It isn't the second coming of sliced bread but it is pretty good. I really enjoy the job system and the story is decent enough. I plan on selling the second i'm finished with it though.

That is AC4.

And that's why I'm never in the loop with current games.

Finished playing through Castle Crashers a few times, unlocked a bunch of characters and all of the animals & weapons.

Now playing Loadout, the occasional bit of Castle crashers (to unlock even more characters), and not much else.

Beaten Ghosts, Crysis, and Crysis 3. Already played Crysis 2 a few years back. Those games were all okay. Nothing special. I'm about 35+ hours into Farm Simulator right now. Not sure why it's so good. The controls are bad, the tractors drive like crap, and the graphics aren't that great. But there's just something about planting and harvesting crops that's fun. Probably cause I grew up in, on, and around farm lands. Guess it brings back memories of riding tractors and combines. Anyway, time to go plant my seed! Hehe!

Finished Farming Simulator. By finished I mean I got 1000/1000 GS. There's not really an ending to the game per se. Opinion hasn't changed. It still has bad physics but was still fun to play up until I decided to stop. I do recommend it if you can get it cheap and want something that's a little more laid back and relaxing to play. I hear the PC version has a ton of mods that make it even more fun.

Playing Driver San Fran now. Didn't really expect the twist that came with this game but it's pretty cool. I'm not all that much into arcade driving games but this one is different enough that I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
