RE: What games are you playing/looking forward to? - Eve Malusion - 08-05-2013
Playing Civilization 5 and Dota 2 to tide me over on time when the people I play with are around.
Aside from that I've been playing a lot of older games, I just finished The Legend of Zelda (the first one), that game holds up remarkably well.

Picking up Tales of Xillia tomorrow. On top of that, this month we've got Mario & Luigi 3DS, Pikmin 3, ARR, Ducktales Remastered.. My wallet is crying.
I think this is the first mention of Xillia in this thread. I can't wait for that game, despite it being tomorrow. I hope that'll carry me to open beta of ARR, at least.

I've done the same. As well as watch arte exhibitions and the like...I don't know why I torture myself like this...

I've got EvE Online that I've been playing for a long while. Outside of that, Cube World has gotten a lot of attention from me, as has the benchmarks. Â I started looking at Star Conflict, a "World of Tanks in Space" if you will (pay-to-win and all).
Payday 2's Beta has also been a nice time waster as well.

A good ways into The Last of Us. It's very good, but isn't holding my attention as much as I thought it was going to.

That's the problem I had with it too. It just didn't grip me like Heavy Rain, Journey, or even Deus Ex: Human Revolution did.

I really enjoy Xillia's characters and story so far, much more so than Graces f at a similarly early part of the game. I think I prefer the overall flow of the latter's combat, though.

As I am now 20 hours in (I just can't stop.... ><) I can confidently say I like Xillia wholly better than Graces f. Even the battle system. I've played all the other Tales games (including the ones not released here) so Graces combat just didn't feel right to me. Of course, that's a personal opinion, although I did really enjoy its combat. Xillia feels more in line with what I've come to expect from Tales, so I'm really happy.Â
And this storyline is blowing me away. It's so much darker than the other Tales games.

Glad I'm not alone in any of this XD
The game is SOOOOOO much better than Graces was, in almost every way. The characters aren't like nails on chalkboard, the story is great and the battle system leads to some interesting set ups. Not to mention being able to free run at no cost again is wonderful.
Played the others tales games too, even imported a few to play with the help of guides xD. RPG with fighting game like mechanics for a battle system!? YES PLEASE.

Just curious. How far have you guys gotten in the game at this point? (I suppose warn for spoilers?)
RE: What games are you playing/looking forward to? - Chickpea - 08-08-2013
You know, I'm not really playing much of anything, MMO-wise right now. Sometimes I'll log into GW2 just to check things out but I don't stay logged on for very long. Same goes with The Secret World, though I'm very fond oft he game and I will pop in for week-long spurts to do some questing.Â
I still play Pirate101 because I used to play Wizard101 (marketed towards kids but they're very fun strategy-based MMOs), and I'm having fun with it in the mean time.
I'm kinda-sorta paying attention to Wildstar though not really, and I am VERY interested in EQNext.
Oh and once in a blue moon I'll peek into Neverwinter, but I don't think I like it. Not interested in TESO at all. Besides that? Single player games I'm playing/in the middle of: Animal Crossing New Leaf and Shin Megami Tensei 4. (If you wanna swap friend codes for AC:NL, just PM me, always up for that.)

I'm about fifteen or so hours in, at the moment. To keep things simple, I just got all party members together. The side quests... THE SILLY ACCESSORIES. I MUST GET THEM ALL *rolls around*

Oh, I know...There's apparently somewhere around 65 attachments. Best of luck trying to find them all. I know I'm having trouble doing so.Â

Went old school and dusted off Planescape: Torment one of the most underrated games of all time. Good ol Black Isle.

YUP! xDD I'm going through the game with my twin, so both him and I are keeping our eyes out. I've noticed that it's a bit easier than Vesparia was so... Kinda turned up the difficulty to match that XD. The boss fights have been awesome so far.
