What are you playing right now?

After Scotty let me down on our Dead Island Monday all day session, I decided to jump into Vanquish. After taking over 2 1/2 years to get round to finish it I managed to wrap it up in under 4 1/2 hours.

I've never played Wolfenstein before. If it has some cool mechanics in it or whatever, I'll look into it. I'm pretty much looking into most of the PS4. Even Killzone: Shadow Fall, even though I've never had a Killzone game before. The one PS4 game I'm most looking forward to is The Witness. I've been wanting to play that ever since I heard about it.

Anyway, I was playing Ratchet: Deadlocked a while ago, I'm doing some Ar tonelico II every now and again, and I'm currently going for the Fuse Plat. Fuse is not going to be an easy/quick Plat.

I know what Wolfenstein is. The only Wolfenstein game that's come out at the appropriate time for me to play it is the 2009 one. And that one apparently wasn't good. Most of the other ones came out around the time I was born. I also didn't really own any FPS games until the PS3 anyway. I was anti-FPS up until that point.

Yeah, most of the HD remakes I've played have been for nostalgia's sake. Jak 3 and Ico were the first times I had played those though. Anyway, when I was 4 or whatever I watched someone play Duke Nukem and thought that was pretty cool. That's the only experience I've had with that genre of shooter. It's also why I was hoping Duke Nukem Forever would be decent.

Sleeping Dogs' story has been keeping me busy, and after finishing it last night, I was thoroughly impressed. The final fight in the game was stunning and incredibly cinematic; reminded me of the ending of Romeo Must Die with the story of The Departed. Saying that though, as much as I loved the story in this game, for some reason I can't bring it to myself to do the collectibles and side missions. I like them, it's just I don't have real motivation to continue forward.

Finished The Year of the Snake DLC earlier this morning, and then proceeded to scratch my head as it had ended rather abruptly. Quite pleased to see a gold pop though.

Wait……..what???? Wanker

I successfully boosted ACR with a good group of people for a change. They weren't all douchebags that ripped me off or abandoned me halfway through, like I've had past experience with on other site's boosting threads…

Also, going through the horrible AC Liberation, which I just beat, but now I have to do all the collectibles and broken light sensor puzzles.  I also did a majority of Red Faction Armageddon, which was OK, but I hated it until maybe 45% of the way through. Now I have Mr. Toots for my stupidly easy Insanity run. God, I don't think they could've made that mode more of a cakewalk.

And hey! Coalition! The Mob of the Dead Zombies pack is out and it's pretty hype. I think you'll all enjoy the plot twist at the end of the easter egg! Only one of us is walking away alive!

I'm still stuck into Ni No Kuni. I think I'm a good bit of the way through the main plot but I know there's a grind waiting for me at the finish line. I've been pretty diligent about clearing up all the familiars in areas as I go along and today I found one that gave me crazy XP when I killed it so I farmed that for a while and metamorph'd almost everything I had to at least the second tier. I have loads of familiars waiting to go up to tier 3 but I need jumbo drops for each of them so farming for bloody crystals at the moment.

Which brings me on to the utter bullshit that are “random drops”! There's a forage point that gives me one of four types of crystal (Star, Planet, Sun, Moon) and each is supposed to have a 25% chance of turning up. From what I can see, not a single shitting familiar in the game uses Planet drops to morph, so I have a 75% chance of getting something I need and a 25% chance of getting bollox. My last seven crystals have been planet… And it takes a poxing age to re-spawn!!! 

I've been really out of it too lately, Kristoff. I completed a lot of things within a short amount of time and I've just been burnt out. Maybe try Sleeping Dogs or Far Cry 3? I'm pretty sure you haven't played those badass games from last year. Or maybe start playing the Sly games! They're good, easy fun, and then you'd be able to get in on the conversations between Ben and I during Zambambos!
