What Video Game Are You Playing Now?

[JMan]

The same as Whatcha Reading Now, What Album Are You Listening To Now, What Are You Watching Now, but for video games.

I'm playing Spectrobes. It has an interesting sci-fi story with decent character development. And the spectrobe creatures, though generic, are all unique and kinda cool. But the gameplay is a bit overdrawn and redundant and you don't get money quickly enough. Plus, there's not enough hype to build for collecting all of the Spectrobes. Maybe it's because you knopw your avatar is the only one in the game doing so, when on games like Pokemon ou have all these other trainers to fight and you want to be a greater Trainer than all of them. Overall: 65.

Finishing Last Of Us for the second time with a group of friends. Patiently awaiting news on Persona 5, a.k.a. the only game that currently matters to me.

Just finished Dragon Age II after a little more than 50 hours searching for all the secrets and stuff. Overall it's a good game with a great story, OK mechanics, and really awful graphics. Excited for DA:I now, though.

Just started one of the Tak and the Power of Juju games with a friend to complete over the course of the next while, I forgot how enjoyable those games actually are.

And uh ... jeez ... I mean still playing Awesomenauts from time to time like always but that's about it.

Things I Make

Just got done playin' Mario Party 2 with the gang. It was a jolly good time.

Nice thread I have quite a passion for the medium. Unfortunately it's expensive as fuck and I'm super broke. I mostly game on Nintendo consoles, as they create most of my favourite franchises and I've never been able to afford multiple consoles within a generation (in fact the only exception was the console generation I was born into, for which I had a Sega Genesis). However, I do dabble in PC gaming when a game really piques my interest - though keeping up with specs and all that really isn't for me and I hope to someday be a two-console man.

Anyway, right now I'm playing way too much. I have 4 Wii games going. I'm slowly working on a 100% run of Xenoblade Chronicles, a first-play of Little King's Story, a first-play of Monster Hunter Tri, and a replay of Metroid: Other M (which is excellent in every aspect other than its writing and some vapid voice acting on Samus and really shouldn't be overlooked based on review scores). I'm also playing Link's Awakening on 3DS virtual console. On PC I started Just Cause 2 like... 2 months ago. I don't think I'll be going back to it It was loads of fun for a very brief time before it got too same-y.
