What are you playing?

Am Ghosting like crazy in Payday 2. Am lvl 37 now. Can solo stealth every bank heist mission with ease.
Though if I get caught, I might as well restart because I will get chewed up by the police.

I'm working my way through the Deathwish missions in solo stealth, it's actually not feeling any worse than old stealth was so far. Being able to move civilians is huge.
 
Mercenary Kings is wonderful.

I love being able to customize the weaponry and it evokes Metal Slug, Metal Gear Solid and Symphony of the Night. Oh, online AND local multiplayer.

My only complaint so far is I don't like how many times it reuses it's (large) levels. It makes, well, it doesn't make you, but I want to do all the missions. I've only ranked up once so far, but all my recruit missions took place on the same two levels. So far, as a private, there is a new level, so that's nice. There's like 10 more ranks to go. There's a lot of meat to this game.

It's on PS4 and Steam.

 
I've been getting my SNES game on lately. Played some Tales of Phantasia, Death and Return of Superman (I totally forgot that Blizzard made this), Link to the Past.
 
Finished Spec Ops: The Line.

Despite spoiling the game for myself in advance (please feel free to call me an idiot for that, by the way), the game was still full of hard-hitting moments. Awesome story, awesome game. I look forward to never playing it again.
 
For once, I think I'm going to listen to Nanny Nintendo and take a break. My performance tells me it's too late at night to be trying to play Donkey Kong Country Returns.
 
Well I had planned to play D3 tonight while FF14 was down, but apparently the game needs to do one of those stupid file reconfigures again, even though I played like two weeks ago. Not to mention having to find out that the BNet launcher bluescreens XP computers without deleting certain optional files first.
Oh? That's odd. Granted, battle.net needed an update last night, and I haven't played it since to see if maybe it'll happen to me, too.[DOUBLEPOST=1396709409,1396709005][/DOUBLEPOST]
Yeah, there seems to be a tendency lately for the board to cut off posts at a user tag.
If I copy/paste a post with user tags into a text editor, I can see that there's a non-printing character that seems to pop up right at the point where it's going to be cut off. The text will look something like "hey <USER>@user</USER> h□ere is some text that I am typing but some of it will be cut off," and then everything after the □ will be cut off. I have not tried to find out what the ASCII/Unicode value of that character is, though.

But that's a third party game. Do they seriously have "you've been playing for a long time, why not take a break" messages in Bravely Default?
I think it comes up after saving sometimes, like in most 3DS games. If you're playing with any kind of 3D on (which I never do), that shit will give you a massive headache in no time flat.

I don't do the 3D either; I just haven't seen any message like that pop up in anything but Nintendo first-party games. Granted, the vast majority of my 3DS games are first-party Nintendo titles, but still ...
 
Played some Diablo 3... Truly a much better experience.
It's amazing what a couple QoL tweaks can do. Dropping the Neph Valor buffs so you can adjust your build on the fly and making loot drops actually mean something again really turned the game's playability up. I'm not willing to drop 40 bucks on an xpac for it, but when it goes on sale I'll definitely give Act V and the other new stuff a go.
 
Whelp, Octodad: Dadliest Catch.

Sooo full of quirky personality.

Soooo painfully short.

On the one hand, I breezed through it in under 2 hours. On the other hand, it was an extremely fun 2 hours that I wished was a little longer. On the third hand, I think the game would have grown tired if it were much longer.
 
I'm loving the mighty quest for epic loot not for the dungeon delving but for building your own castle and traps and modding it to defeat others.

Sounds like Nick's Prom Night? :p

I've been meaning to play Octodad, seen so many fun looking play throughs.
I have been smitten with Smite.
I had considered giving that a try but everytime I play an online PVP game, it ends up sucking my entire gaming time up to the point where I never get any single player gaming done (TF2, Awesomenauts, etc). I'm already excited for Heroes of the Storm too.

I own octodad, but haven't played it yet.

Today I was playing Z-Type... a neat google chrome experiment typing tutor kind of game.

It starts to get hairy around round 30.

Here was my first try's score -

The hardest thing about this game is the single letter missles. My brain types in words, not letters. And if I mistype and start typing another word, and have to find which one it is on the cluttered screen before it will let me go to the next.
 
Dammit.

I neglected pretty much everything today and played Shin Megami Tensei IV for nine hours, only to fail at locking in the neutral alignment.

 
I loved bravely default and then I found out what happens and what you are supposed to do and lost all interest in continuing.

I still loved Bravely Default, but I pretty much did a huge power grind so that the later bosses were almost trivial, particularly when I leveled everyone up to max in almost every profession. Combining the Vampire ability to get a possible "get out of death free" card, a Templar with a full damage null shield, the Spiritualist's Fairy ward to guard against status effects, and the Salve Maker's Giant Elixir with a Monk hitting for max damage every round, pretty much made my party unstoppable.
