The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames)

Am I really the only PC gamer around here?

I'm playing on PC. Am I really the only PC gamer around here?

If it wasn't for Dark Souls II, I'd be all over Titanfall and I generally don't like online shooters. The game is a lot of fun and the parkour alone sold me on the game. The bots are dumb as hell but I like their inclusion. It gives scrubs like me a chance to feel some sort of accomplishment instead of constantly getting killed by people with decades worth of shooter experience.

[delmuerte]

That's what I thought. Why isn't anyone else playing Titanfall??

Edit: And DSII is not out until April, yeah? Probably check that out. Swords and shit are not really my thing, but Skyrim was fun.

[The Bill]

I had no idea Titanfall was on the PC (and 360, as well). Multiplayer only though, it can fuck off.

[Wang Mandu]

Demon's / Dark Souls games make me weak in the knees and do strange things like buy a $120 PS3 collector's edition and also buy the PC version before it's even out. I'll probably pick up Titanfall within the next month or so but I'm a little occupied right now, .

It's so much more different than Skyrim but definitely give it a shot! DSII should have better m/kb controls than the previous game.

It's actually really fun and a hell of a lot better than nearly all sp shooter campaigns.

not to encourage cryptoplasticism, but hipster platformers are VERY MUCH a real thing...

So what makes a platformer a hipster platformer? is other curve stuff like Lone Survivor a hipster platformer? Braid, Spelunky?

[delmuerte]

Any new side scroller aside from Gunpoint is a hipster indie shithead game.

But sorry even Gunpoint counts.

[Spooky Apparition]

that's a one-two combo of idiocy for sure

I'd take spelunky and hotline miami over every fucking dumb MMO in the world

[Cryptoplasty]

Hotline Miami is amazing.

[delmuerte]

I'm just being obtuse. Those games don't hold any appeal to me and there's a new one like every day on Steam. I don't like MMOs either, though.

Shit. I think the only game I ever liked ever was ME2.

[RY4N]

a minimal game about friendship and jumping

[james]

man we should totally make a hipster text adventure game

like you start out in the thrift store and you have to go through a stack of records and correctly identify the least palatable one to proceed to your bicycle outside or something

[Spooky Apparition]

that does sound pretty hipstery. Crypto, have you played Spelunky? for me it sorta scratches the same itch as Hotline Miami, although the style isn't as cool/hipster-pleasing as HM

[thirstycells]

Playing titanfall on the xbone. Currently working on getting clips of punching pilots, for a comp on Upload. The game is light on content, but its still pretty refreshing if you'd played much Battlefield4 or COD-Ghosts recently.

[The Bill]

Clips of Pontius Pilate?

I'm thinking of bringing over my Dark Souls talk to this thread because I'm feeling like a neglected child over in the original DS thread.

Also, Bioshock DLC is out this month yes/no? That might prove the necessary break from Dark Souls I'm refusing to give myself.

[thirstycells]

I have high hopes for that final Bioshock dlc. Stealth, and hopefully a more engaging story. Last troo Bioshock content ever.
However, this week its Metal Gear Ground Zeroes that will be devouring my freetime. After finishing Thief i'm ready for CQC and stealth of a different kind.

[thirstycells]

fez?

[thirstycells]

minecraft, monaco, dust an elysian tale

[thirstycells]

Also some pot brownies for said 12 year old.

[The Bill]

Are those games on disc? They might be XBLA only. Not really puzzle but the two Rayman games might be good.

[milkmandan]

That's what I thought. Why isn't anyone else playing Titanfall??.

I'm playing on XB1. It rules. Dividing my time up between that, Diablo III, and Elder Scrolls Online Beta. Elder Scrolls Online is surprisingly better than I thought. I gave up on it after about an hour back in January, but now I'm hooked. Got that shit pre-ordered for next month

Still haven't opened Dark Souls II. My PS3 isn't even connected at the moment, and I think i'm out of inputs on my receiver

[copstache]

a couple of my friends are deeply hooked on TESO. i'm surprised it's getting as positive a reception as it is.

I hated on it pretty hard a few months ago, but I had a lot of fun playing this weekend.
