What video games are you currently playing?

Well i am somewhere in between Assassin's creed: Revelations. But I've not played it for a long time. I think i am bored of video games.

 

Got a weird urge to play Majesty again today.... so I'm recruiting rangers and healers and such right now. w00t!

 

the new xpack is sounding sweet!

Civilization V: Brave New World: The Kotaku Review

 

The Last of Us... (working on beating it twice now)

 

A few games I have played through or started playing since I was last posting:

Chivalry: Modern Warfare - Incredibly fun first person PvP hack n slash.
Day Z mod for Arma 2 - I play this on occasion with a couple friends. I've never been too fond on zombie shooters, but this game is such a blast.
BioShock Series - I got Infinite for free with my new computer so I've been playing through the first two because I never played them. Eventually I will get through the whole series as it is a very good story.
Evoland - Not a very long game, but it was definitely one of the more fun games I've played in the last year.
Forge - I had a small stint with this game. I don't recommend it. Everyone just plays the assassin class and ganks each other. Probably the worst PvP I've ever played (and I was an MMO PvPer for a long time...).
Orcs Must Die! - This game is a load of fun. I'm trying to find a friend who enjoys it as well before I get into the second one.
Torchlight series - Played through the first one with a Vanquisher. I was so impressed with it, I bought the Torchlight II four pack and made friends play with me. We're still playing through the second and it is hands down the best action RPG I've ever played.
Overlord - I play this on occasion. It's a really fun sit back and relax style of game for me.
The Walking Dead (The one by TellTale) - While I hardly consider this a video game, the story is amazing. I'm anxiously awaiting season 2. The 400 Days DLC was a nice little hold-over though.
Fallen Enchantress - I played this one briefly. Maybe it's just not my style, but this game fucking sucks.
League of Legends - I play this casually with a couple friends who don't have the skill to play Dota 2.
Dota 2 - I have become totally addicted to this game. I play it on an almost daily basis, I spend my weekends watching tournaments (I even took three days off work so I can watch The International 3 in its entirety), and I spend most of my time not playing games reading/watching guides. There's just so much to learn and do, I think I have racked up more hours on this game in the last year than I did with WoW in over three years.

Other than that, I have been thinking about picking up CS:GO. It seems like a really fun game. I'm worried it would turn into another time eater for me, though, and Dota eats enough of my time currently.

Also, any word on the Steam Summer Sale yet?! It certainly feels like summer, but I don't have a giant fucking stack of games to add to my backlog yet...

 

summer sale starts tomorrow! i read it on 2 sites today. also i've been playing nothing but dota 2 lately as well; i'm definitely not great but i feel like i've gotten past the idiot zone on the learning curve.

 

Yeah, it's a pretty huge learning curve. I'm to the point where I understand a lot of the basic fundamentals and tactics (lane control, creep stacking, wave pulling and blocking, etc.), basic picking and counter picking, and what items are warranted in a lot of different situations, but I still have a long way to go before I even feel like I'm decent at the game.

 

Is that Civ 5 expansion pack already out?


I've started my Planeswalkers 2014 campaign. Don't laugh

 

You get it yet? Worth the 29 bucks or whatever steam is asking?

 

That sounds like ton's o' fun..... Enjoy and good luck!

 

bioshock infinite is a very fun game so far to me, but that 30$ seems a bit high for the summer sale. i got it for ~17 or 18 from a coupon on ebay. i'd wait it out as it can't stay that high for long. the others are spot on in terms of what martian said. i noticed they might put up dishonored for ~10$ in the next few hours and THAT would be a very nice buy for anyone that doesn't have it.

 

Fuck yes! It finally feels like summer!
_____________

It's arguably the best game this year and released less than four months ago. I'm a little shocked they're able to offer 50% off. I don't see this going any lower during this sale.

I've decided I'm buying CS:GO. I know nothing of CS and have never played any of them, but this game looks GOOD and for $5.00, I can't say no. I have a question though. Is CS:GO standalone or do I need the CS Complete pack to fully play this game?

I'll vouch for Hotline Miami as well. If you don't have it, at $2.50, you really should have it.

On the other hand, I caution those interested in Defiance. This game is really sub-par. It has very limited character creation, a very bland story, and really clunky mechanics. Unless you are obsessed with the show or something, even $13.50 seems like a rip off to me.
