What game are you playing? Thread

Just finished Deus Ex for the first time. Had a pretty good time overall, but I feel like the story and the gameplay kinda wavered toward the end. The final area and the endings felt particularly underwhelming.

Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil
on normal because I'm a fucking scrub

I hate Cirno's icicle fall so much. Everything else is child's play until Patchouli but that shit.

I'm playing "The Witness" right now... Well I kind of took a break from it. it's A really cool game but you can get stuck. It's a bit like a modern Myst..

A friend and I played that together a few months back. There were a decent amount of real tricky puzzles in there.

I learned that the people who made VA-11 Hall-A put out a short VN as a gag on April Fools called VA-11 Hall-A Kids!. It's got all the charm of the actual game so if you liked the original it's worth checking out, especially for the low, low price of $0. Poke around a bit and you may even find a secret!

I've been playing Clone Hero to relive my childhood/adolescent years. Also playing Valkyria Chronicles since I got it in a Humble Bundle

I still need to finish that game. Life always seemed to pick up when I was liberating that torn-up city a few levels in.

I've heard it's a masterpiece, though.

I've managed to make Civ IV unstable enough to warrant saving multiple times per turn. It's taken me two and half hours to do maybe nine turns.

Path of Exile. It's an addiction, and I can quit it whenever I want.

It's also taking all my money, but I'm okay with that. I promise.

I've been drudging through Okami as of late. Honestly, I want to love it, but I just am not feeling the magic. The game is undoubtedly beautiful, but there's just something off for me, idk.

I also just played Hotel Dusk: Room 215, it's a cute little DS visual novel type game, it has a fantastic story. I plan to play the sequel soon. Plus, I've just been revisiting unfinished games. First, The World Ends With You, and now Mother 3.

Somewhat unsettled by how totally Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door managed to ensnare me this past week. Guess it's been long enough since I last touched it.

Gonna have some fun with Sims 4: Seasons tonight

I never could get into the Sims games. Always wanted to, and I swashbuckled the second game and all its DLCs on my old desktop, but teenage me always ended up getting bored and either cheating or designing lavish houses. Maybe I'm playing it wrong.

You can play any of these life simulator/city management games aforementioned however as long as you want to, but there are no victory conditions. Be careful though, if you try to cheat too often, your favorite game will fight back harshly due to anti-cheat protections put in place.
 
I'm playing a WWII flight simulator game, and even though I quickly got used to the controls, I'm still getting my butt kicked just for the realism of being inside these amazing recreated old planes. If I happen to be the last one on my squad, I will give them an epic chase on me towards some low-lying valley or into friendly territory with turbocharger on at full blast and hope they'll crash. 

You can even take on night battles and recreate the war in your own way with Dynamic Campaign or the Mission Editor, with the former the only way to earn you some war bonds to order more planes, if you do the missions very well and not die.
Birds of Steel

Shenmue 1 and 2 rereleases came out. I still love the games as much as I did before but God this collection is buggy.

4 more hours until Dragon Quest XI will have finished downloading... I want to play ;__;

EDIT: Stoopid me actually went to a game shop today to buy a physical copy, only to realize that the game is only available for PC on Steam.

Bahahahaha. I can't say I've been there, but I did go to the store once for an Xbox 360 copy of Supreme Commander on its official release date. It turned out the game hadn't arrived at the store yet, and it ended up getting delayed another half-year. Ooh yeah, and guess what? The port sucked. There's a reason I don't touch that game even if it's in my Steam library. =w=

Instead I've been playing Forza Horizon 4! Well, the demo at least. Gotta say, when the first five minutes of your game is enough to get people hooked, you know you've made somethin' great. I was utterly blown away.
