What Game Are You Currently Playing?

I've just built myself a new PC for the lounge room (kind of a Steam Box knock off) so I have been playing lounge-friendly PC games like The Wolf Among Us, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and FIFA 14. Keen for any suggestions as well!

Also have a copy of Dying Light coming my way at some point. Thought I'd get this on release day, but even though I bought a 'digital download' copy, apparently the vendor has to wait for the physical release...
 
Really enjoying my Qunari female. I chose to side with the Templars. I decided I'm going to play again when this one is finished and be a female elf,
Since it's really their fault this whole thing started because of some ancient orb the elves made and the bad guy now has.
and side with the Mages.

That's awesome- I've been wondering what it would be like to play as a Qunari. As soon as I finished, I wanted to play again because I was sad that it was over, and because the storyline and ending raised so many interesting questions. I'm trying really hard to make myself wait until the DLC (whatever that may end up being) comes out before I play again though, since with DA2 I didn't do this and was a bit burned out by the time the DLC came out. I feel a bit like a kid in a candy store sitting on my hands though. :D

Thankfully, there are a number of good games out at the moment and more on the way... I can't wait to see what The Order 1886 will be like, and am really excited for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I'm currently switching around between the two latest Assassin's Creed games and Far Cry 4, which is my first Far Cry and I am really having fun with it! Also just played through the first episode of Telltale's Game of Thrones game, but when I started episode two, I encountered a well-known (apparently, though not to me) bug which causes people playing on Xbox One to not have any of their choices carry over to the next episode. Really wish I had not bought that season pass now. :cautious:

I wish there were more single player RPGs in general. I'll take some good stealth action too. :)
 
Aye, I'm not into multiplayer. The only sort of interaction with others I've enjoyed (in a gaming sense :p ) recently was with Dragon's Dogma, and the excellent pawn system.

Damned shame Capcom have decided to make the sequel some sort of MMORPG nonsense.
 
After a gap of over two years I finally went back and finished XCOM: Enemy Unknown last week. Great game - not going to replace Terror from the Deep or the original game in my affections, but as good an update as I could've hoped for. I was going to dive straight into Enemy Within, but I've now become addicted to Shadowrun: Dragonfall instead. Great story, great characters, great turn-based combat. Love it.
 
Coming to the end of Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor - I've really been enjoying this. Not so much the story (its a little thin) but the gameplay is fluid and enjoyable. Everything looks good and LOTR-ingy. Even been spending the time collecting everything and reading the lore which I don't do for every game. As far a replayability goes though, I can't see doing it again for a couple of years. Though I may dabble in assassinating some orc chiefs from time to time.

I also finished the single player campaign of Battlefield 4 recently... Awful. The characters were annoying and you don't care about any of them. The game seemed to be set against you for some parts and ridiculously easy in others. Clichéd story and set pieces. I was begging for it to end after just halfway through. I rarely leave a game unfinished, so I slogged it to the end, but there was no sense of accomplishment when I got there.

Looking forward to returning to Titanfall when I get back from skiing - my favourite Xbox One game so far.

I really enjoyed Shadow of Mordor. It was definitely a sleeper in which I wasn't expecting too much and was surprised at the end. It had an Assassin's Creed feel, but with enough of its own content to set it apart.

Game of Thrones was pretty cool. Can't wait for the 3 episode. Sorry you had trouble.

The Witcher! I'm very excited about this game! :)
 
Finished Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Brilliant little game. Shall probably play the first game, Shadowrun Returns, next as I didn't get far with it the first time around. Or I may just play Dragonfall again with a different character.
 
LOL! I just went to the ball on Dragon Age Inquisition.
I was warned when I entered that, being Qunari, I would be seen as no better than an animal!
I think I did pretty well though. :)
 
There are quite a few variety of outcomes there. Despite three playthroughs, I haven't had all the possible outcomes (I'll go back to it at some point. I like the game, but the load times are lengthy and the freezing is irksome).
 
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat with the Sigerous (SGM) mod version 1.7 - have been playing the Stalker games for 8 years or so now. They're worse than heroin and nicotine combined for addictiveness. Some mods have hugely long load times (Narodnaya Soljanka), and they all have pauses, hiccoughs and freezes as large groups of NPCs hit your switch-distance. All of them have CTDs of varying severity, but that's just Stalker. Not one of the three 'official' games was playable on release - Call of Pripyat was closest, but still had its foibles. I likened them to buying a car and suddenly finding that it had no brakes. Didn't matter: you just had to get into the coding and figure out what was wrong, correct it (if you could), then get back into the game.

The multi-player version is utter silliness. Stalker games are single-player experiences, and every game is different depending on the choices you make.

.
 
PS3 version, it varies (better than the woes of Xbone, it must be said).

If I ever acquire enough disposable income/time for a PS4 I may get the inevitable Legendary/Ultimate/GOTY edition for it.

Shadow of Mordor. Pretty awesome!

I just finished that last weekend. Great fun. The character ability progression is well timed and substantial all the way through to the end.

Played and finished the very short campaign of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare recently. I went in with low expectations because the franchise was getting stale. But I left having thoroughly enjoyed myself and wanting to do it again. The story is predictable, but seeing Kevin Spacey in your game sort of makes up for that - even if its not his best performance. Its nice to see professional talent getting more involved in video game story-telling. The game is visually stunning which goes a long way to aid immersion. There's lots of adrenaline filled scenarios and fun gadgetry to get yourself around. However, all this futuristic business is becoming tiring. I would love for Call of Duty to return to WW2 again.

Currently, I'm playing Destiny (more futuristic business) - Finally, a FPS game that has areas requiring real teamwork. I've played strike missions with fantastic allies and ones without and you really notice the difference. It can be a bit of a grind after a while, but there is enough variety to keep you coming back every day. I'm a bit annoyed about the price of the DLC though. It has its faults, but the fun I'm having outweighs them for now.
 
I've been playing XCOM: Enemy Within with the Long War mod far, far too much. The base game was lacklustre, but Long War totally transforms it. It's punishingly hard, but well worth it.

I'm definitely going to give Long War a go at some point. I finished Shadowrun Returns a couple of weeks ago and was planning on going back to play XCOM: Enemy Within again when I saw that Xenonauts was on sale on Steam. Been meaning to get it for ages and it was impossible to pass by for £9. So I bought it, and now I'm completely addicted. Much as I loved the Firaxis Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within games, they didn't quite scratch the itch I had for the original X-COM (hyphenated!) games, i.e. UFO Enemy Unknown (as it was called in the UK) and X-COM Terror from the Deep. Xenonauts is definitely fitting the bill, though. I lost most of last weekend to it, which hasn't happened to me with a game for years.

Also picked up Wasteland 2 half price on Steam last weekend, although I won't be going anywhere near that until I've finished Xenonauts.
