What Videogame(s) Are You Playing?

Deception has the most amount of content and a cool Konquest Mode, its like a little RPG.
Armageddon has like 60 Characters to choose and its Konquest Mode is more like a 3rd person Brawler.

Shaolin Monks is a Spin Off with a nice story and its an absolute blast in co-op.

I’d recommend you get Armageddon first.

Yeah, always thought about getting Armageddon. Shame they scrapped character fatalities. They could have easily removed some of the side content to have room to add at least one fatality per character. :confused:

That’s true but tbh i mainly play Konquest and the Side Kontent nowadays - i don’t like 3D Fighters that much.

EDIT: i love the World building these Games did, not necessarily their Gameplay :sweat_smile:

Probably a controversial opinion but 2.5d fighters and 3d fighters >>>>> 2d fighters

Thats a totally legit opinion to have, just not one i share with you :wink:

I’ve bought Sifu more or less blind and god, i fuckin suck at it. I really want to like this game but its not fun for me.

EDIT: i liked Bloody Roar back in the day tho.

Finished Yakuza 0 yesterday. Awesome game. The story just got better and better, the fights more fun, the side quests funnier, and the music absolutely rocks and will probably become my new workout mix. The ending(s) of Majima´s storyline also made me shed (more than) a few manly tears… Oh and the Tokyo/Osaka atmosphere is pitch perfect of course.

Clocked at 96 hours, but I still have a bunch of side quests and minigames to complete. I was kinda hoping to do the Real Estate and Cabaret Club minigames before the last few episodes, just so I could unlock the Legendary fighting styles for the final fights, but it was such a grind and only distracted me from the story, so I dropped it. Will take it easy to finish those in Premium Adventure and then I´m just gonna breeze through the campaign in New Story+ with all the fighting styles unlocked. Probably gonna take a short break before going for Kiwami though.

Other than that, I´ve been playing H3 after a fairly long break now that it´s on Steam. It´s fun to unlock all the challenges and masteries again, but the bugs and glitches do ruin it for me at times, even though I´m reeeeally trying not to pay attention to the clipping… Can´t say I´m excited for doing all the escalations and FCs though… Also finally got the 7DS last week, so I´ll give those a go in the upcoming days.

my eldest wants to (i’ve told her about it) but i’d prefer that any unnecessary trauma she goes through is exclusively down to more general bad parenting.

How old is she? if you don’t want to answer thats fine too ofc

I was born 1990, i literally grew up with a Controller in my Hands and Mortal Kombat, Duke Nukem, Blood and so on - i guess me being the third Child of my parents meant that they weren’t watching as closely what i was playing, compared to my older siblings lol.

I remember “playing” the first Resident Evil at a friends house (his older brother had the game and actually had us forbidden to play it, but he wasn’t at home) and I remember how terrified i was when we met the very first Zombie.

This Scene gave me nightmares for weeks and gives me chills to this day lol

Gran Turismo 7 is out today. Started it, done a couple of races, got my first licence. I’m getting into it, it’s like being with an old friend. Although I imagine those later licences are going to give me trouble but I see when we’ll get there.

@Freezer thought I’d let you know I went and finished Persona 4 Golden. Enjoyed it, I think Persona 5 Royal is a significantly better game altogether. But honestly, yeah, I do really enjoy the P4 cast, to the point I think they may just pip the P5 cast as my favourite so far. I like the plot altogether too.

That and I’ve figured out how to get a PSP emulator to work and have started playing Persona 3 Portable on it, doing the male MC. Put about 4 hours into it so far. Already beginning to hate Tartarus, kindof knew I would but oh dear, I hope it is easier to grind later in the game.

I enjoy the game so much that I literally can’t stop playing! GT Café turns out to be really intuitive and give me a sense of accomplishment for each time completing a Menu. Although with the same collection objectives it give to players, many will just have the same set of prize cars. I feel like it’s a bit shame that some similar cars may be missed out.

I spent a lot of money in tuning shop too to spec up my cars, then applying player-made liveries to them. So I guess even without following Café Menu’s objectives, there’s plenty else things to do for everyone!

I do read that the antique car dealer sells cars based on their irl dynamic prices, so it could be a hell lot of grind to buy the DB5 you’ve been wanting for. There’s an option to purchase credits with microtransactions, but I don’t plan to do so for now.

Well anyway, new ET arcade batches can wait, I am gonna head back and win some races! :racing_car:

I’m currently playing Infernax, a 8Bit loveletter to classic Castlevania. It’s quite difficult, but has lots of humor and charme, definitely recommend it if you are into Castlevania.

That new Portal short “Aperture Desk Job” is cool, even if I didn’t play it on the new Deck (glad they didn’t limit it to that).

You’ve got lots of funny writing, goofy Portal machines, Cave Johnson returns! Short 30 minutes of silly stuff.

You need a controller to play, but it seems that it accommodates many features the Steam Deck has, even if you don’t have them yourself. It showcases all the different inputs the device has, I think, but for me I was missing a screenshot button, gyro, a touch screen, and underside buttons on the controller, but the game didn’t mind! It accommodated it via keyboard or mouse prompts, or remapped buttons to the right controls when needed.

Spoilers for an easter egg.

Giant Chicken. Must hug. That is all.

Ok well, not all. Turns out it’s part of Portal 2 concept art, and finally made its way into… some Portal game.

“Giant Chicken” – Villains wiki (yes lol villains wiki)


I also played the demo for Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

Yeah, it’s gonna be a fun Kirby game. Will it be great? Challenging? I don’t know yet, but the demo was certainly enjoyable enough.

There’s very large, 3D environments.
Kirby and his enemies are all so adorable.
Levels will have optional objectives and secrets to find.
The handful of Mouthful Mode abilities shown mix up the gameplay and puzzle solving a bit.
There’s an easy Spring Breeze mode and a ‘normal’ Wild mode. I used Wild. It was serviceable. Only really challenge I had was the first boss, who is difficult up-close.
Perhaps we might get a third difficulty at/after launch. There’s room for it.

Nice demo. The preview at the end for the full game shows off a lot of unique environments and abilities to Kirby, so I’m interested in how the series’ gameplay might evolve with it.

I’ve been playing Codename S.T.E.A.M. on 3DS lately. It was really slept on and it’s so out there I can’t help but love it.

It’s a third person turn based tactical RPG (like Valkyria Chronicles) but it’s set in steampunk 1800s with Abe Lincoln (who has a giant mech) leading a mercenary team to take out aliens. This team consists of public domain characters that are primarily (but not exclusively) based on old Americana. We have Tom Sawyer, Queequeg from Moby Dick, the characters of The Wizard of Oz, a character from HP Lovecraft books, and much, much more. Plus Fire Emblem characters if you have the amiibo but I don’t.

This game sold so poorly that I bought it years ago for $20 because I thought it’d shoot up in value as a cult classic and now it goes for like $5.

This calls for a Steam sale.

What happened for me was that I played on hard and died so often that I was kind of desensitized by the end. Also the flamethrower kind of takes the scare factor away, although it stops being effective if you use it too often… lol
