What game are you playing currently?

I'm on a monster marathon of Ocarina of Time 3D before I go back to work this week. Last chance I'll get before Majora's Mask launches in February.

OoT isn't difficult per se, but it does reinforce the idea that modern games spoon feed us. Some of the additional items such as the masks, or the side quests for the Goron sword are not things I'd have naturally stumbled upon myself. Definitely have to pay attention and explore to get the most out of it.

I just finished 007 nightfire on GameCube. Decent enough game I suppose. Some parts were pretty good, others were just annoying. Pretty easy, enemies are dumb, and the game is short. Now I have the Bond theme song stuck in my head and have a desire to watch all the Brosnan Bond films I've never seen.

I think I'll start on Metroid Prime now.

I think you hit the nail on the head there. I own the game but I have restarted multiple times because I can only play for 30 min or so at a time and when I get stuck I just seem to lose all traction. I would really like to finish the game one day though. Same exact issue with Metroid Prime. Both are outstanding games, but when you have 3 kids and can only play for a very short time....you just seem to lose traction unlike current generation games that as you said, spoon feed you.

I can not believe I'm 193 Hours into Dragon Age Inquisition and still haven't completed it !!!! That's staggering.

Playing Resident Evil Remaster - for the very first time!

Always quite jealous back in the day when at a friends place who got a PS...and it has aged beautifully. Tank controls quite quirky..wonder why there aren't much more indie games doing the fixed camera angle style though (maybe they do and I have no clue, equally possible).

And got some of the Wii deals for the U, Metroid and DK. Would've been perfect if I could off-tv those but well, will do I guess

Hah, I'm saying the same thing about Dark Souls right now. About 85 hours in and only 2/3 way through. I'm covering every nook and cranny taking it slow and cautious though, only way to survive this game.

I started Far Cry 4 this week. I only got to play for about 30 minutes so far, but the visuals look great and the mechanics seem solid.

Dragon Age Inquisition finally finished on Xbox One. 205 hours!!! I felt really sad finishing it, knowing it was going to be over.

Thankfully I'm only 1/3 way through on my PS4 version so still got the rest to enjoy from totally different side

Was it a let down after 205 hours or was it well worth it?? Excited to play it down the road.

I can't say too much without spoilers - but suffice to say I was happy with it and its clear there is still a future for dragon age games.

I've been playing it since October and have zero regrets investing those hours in. Considering how many games I buy each year and that I rarely get 20% into games before going onto something else. And these are 10-12 hour games. So to spend so long on one game, enjoy it so much and not get bored, to feel so invested that it made me sad to know I was nearing the end is suffice to say how much I think highly of this game. It's the best game I've played in a number if years and one of the best stories too.

What us even more amazing is that this is just one version of the story and yet my PS4 playthru has a different story, different narrative is staggering. I actually in happy to see how the characters and story differ from my finished playthrough.

Infamous Second Son

Yesterdays, I watched a video of theRadBrad on youtube. The guy was playing a game called infamous second son. It looks much like Prototype. I'll try it these days.

It's great .... Can be picked up cheap too nowadays. Indeed if you were a PS+ subscriber they gave away its standalone expansion first light not too long ago.

Beautifully looking game visually too.

Are we sure this is not a spam account? Registered today, advertising in the signature, and the wording of the post has a strangely generic feel to it. (Apologies if I am wrong!)

possibly .... though the fact they contributed to an existing thread rather than start a new one - which is the usual method of spamming - gives us reason to offer benefit of doubt.

Infamous Second Son is great, a bit short though.

Oh, com'on, guys! Does it mean that when you are a new user, you should sit quietly and just read, be careful with posting and forget about posting links? If the admins think my signature is inappropriate, they'll remove it.

It turned out there is a neighbor boy, living right next to my house and he has the game. I asked him if I could try it and it does look awesome. Amazing graphics. However, Infamous second son really reminds me of another game. The main character had similar abilities. I really can't remember its name.

Sorry about that, no harm meant!

Spam accounts are pretty common, unfortunately, and they keep getting better at disguising themselves.

I'm sorry too. I might overreacted it a bit.

Are you thinking of Prototype?

Yep, exactly. Thanks, man! The name was like at the end of my tongue.

None.

Just relocated for work and I am fiending for some video game time but everything is back home and being shipped in 2 weeks with the moving company.

Even when it arrives it may be another month or 3 before I am able to unpack and set them up again.

Just living vicariously through you guys at this point.

Zelda A Link Between Two Worlds on 3DS.

Enjoyable so far, no where near as challenging as Ocarina, should be through by the time Majoras Mask is out.

Just started Alien Isolation and i'm playing Far Cry 4. Also pre-ordered The Order 1866, not sure exactly what the gameplay is like though?
