What are you playing?

I may have done something very, very bad. All this talk of Skyrim inspired me to start up Steam and click 'Play.' I foresee even less free time in my future in coming weeks.

Oh man, I completely forgot how immersive Skyrim is... he said at 1:00am.

I put hundreds of hours into this game.... But I haven't played since even with all the dlcs.... I fully expect to get them tho at some point and replay the game cleanly with mods. There hasn't been a game that even comes close to this level of awesomeness.

I got Heavy Rain after all the positive press. I just can't get into it. The story is interesting, and the art is good. The direction and acting are spectacular. But the gameplay is boring. It's all twitch reactions to things that pop on screen. It doesn't help that I'm not very good at that.

Play on easy? It really is one of those games that, if it's not clicking already, will get you by the halfway point.

I was sucked in by the point the kid disappeared. It's more an interactive movie than a game, but it's an interesting one, and your successes and failures do change what happens. There is no game over; only the way your version of the story plays out.

As for me, Assassin's Creed 3 was half off, so we got that. Interesting approach in how the game begins--not at all what I expected from the promotional material. I was surprised when I opened the box and found a multi-player voucher. If you buy the game used, your multi-player options are trimmed to bare bones. Ubisoft; "we want to be EA shittards so bad."
 
Oh man... I'd forgotten. How did I manage to forget how good of a game this is?! How could I possibly have spent so much time playing Skyrim that I forgot how awesome it is?! I have brought shame upon my house.

AC3 looks like it has an interesting premise. If it wasnt for the fact I really couldn't get into AC 1 or 2, I 'd probably get this. Such as it is...

Downloaded Wardens for iOS. It's basically Castle Crashers for mobile, and the touchpad joystick actually works.
 
Anyone interested in a DOTA 2 key? I got an email saying I suddenly have a couple to give away. The game is free once (if ever, knowing valve's release schedules) it gets released, otherwise it's $30 to buy your way into beta (if you have the key, it's free and you can play now). This is pretty much the only thing I've been playing for the last month. I can't stop.
 
Have they implemented a single-player mode in DOTA2 yet? I've got it, but I haven't really played because I don't feel like playing it online.
 
I don't understand the point of a moba game played single player...

Also, just okay league of legends! Use the link in my sig. You can play with bots there, too.

If you have a few keys to give away I would love to try this out. I was a huge fan of the original DOTA map for warcraft 3 (I still play it with my friends actually). Never really got into LOL either.

If you've only got one though... give it to Officer_Charon
 
Borderlands 2 - Finished the vanilla game and loved every second of it. Seriously this game deserved all the awards it got. Going to be working on Playthrough 2 and 2.5 soon since I haven't purchased any of the DLC yet. Though I hear they're very short.

Saints Row 2 - Decided to play this through again in preparation for Saints Row 3 that I recently got. It's easy to see why I loved this game the first time I played it. So much content and so much extra stuff to do its insane. The humor, the solid gameplay, it's all top notch. Can't wait to get to pt 3.

Both of these games I wish I were playing in Co-Op mode though, the first Borderlands was so much fun the first time because my sister and I played it together and I know we'd have alot of fun in SR too.
 
Just got my room all re-arranged and set up my PS2. Right next to my computer so I can sit in my comfy chair and enjoy some classics I haven't played in years. Might be time for a FFX replay.

Or maybe Valkyrie Profile 1 and 2.

Or Lunar: SSSC.

Or Odin Sphere.

Oh God this was a horrible idea.

I'm having the same problem, except I got a PS Vita with the ps store loaded on it.

I've been getting the urge lately to replay FFX or MGS3. Good luck.

I'm trying out Valkyrie Profile 2 again, and I can kind of see why I stopped (besides getting lost the first time I played through). The characters are ugly and battle feels a little sluggish. Maybe I'll swap to FFX instead..
 
You know, I much prefer DA1, but in all honesty I still had fun with DA2. It's alright at best.[DOUBLEPOST=1356252798][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, I've been dipping about an hour or 4 into most PS2 RPG's I've got, just to see what I want to play next. I think it's down to FFX, Star Ocean 3, or maybe a Tales of the Abyss replay.
 
I played through DA:Orgins 3 times, currently on the forth. LOVED THAT SHIT.

I got through about maybe half of 2 before I got tired of going to the same cave.
