What Game Are You Currently Playing?

Molotov cocktails are splendid, especially for clickers.
 
Do you mean the 'shiv master' upgrade that allows you to fend off a clicker? I avoided that one in favour of the reduced weapon sway. I did get the longer-lasting shivs through the two training manuals, though.
 
Finished Bioshock 2 This is the only one of the three that I never finished when it was first released. I gave up due to the hoard mode parts when the little sisters are collecting ADAM and you have to protect her. They were annoying and still are. However I managed to get through to the end this time around.

The story isn't as compelling, they have simplified the hacking and the combat and the world of Rapture is too familiar.

Still fun, but more of a Bioshock 1.5 than a proper sequel.
 
The upgrades are cool, Shiv Master isworthwhile, but I meant I saved my knives and tapes and scissors to make the blade bombs instead of making my bat last longer.

Ah right, yeah, I've been doing that too. I think I've added a shiv to a melee weapon the grand total of once so far.
 
I'm playing NieR: Automata, whose protagonist has been my profile picture on here for a little while now. It's not released for about another week in the US and a week after that for the UK. I've not had this much fun playing a game for a long time.

In relation to writing: the creator, Yoko Taro, is one of my biggest inspirations for storytelling. My stories tend to pull on the same heartstrings as his, and we both like to take our plots to ridiculous places (in his case, maybe too ridiculous sometimes).
 
I'm trying to finish the last Hutt Contract on the Scarif expansion for SW Battlefront: getting 5 kills with the sonic exploder is torture! I've been at it for 2 weekends and only managed 3. I'm hiding in choke points, sending a shock grenade to freeze a troop and reduce his HP then throwing a sonic imploder at him and I'm still not getting anywhere near the K/D ratio I should be!

Torture. It's bloody torture.

I don't play games -- usually. However, I acquired a copy of The Hobbit for PC by Sierra and found it extremely addictive. So much so that no dinner was cooked, and no writing or editing was done for a full week (okay, it probably should have taken a couple of days to complete, but it took me nearly two days just to work out how to switch between weapons).

Has anyone else played it?

I feel like a ten-year-old asking a team of professional ice hockey players if they've tried figure skating. I barely understand one word in ten of the posts above mine....
 
Afraid I'm PS4-only, Kerry. Glad you liked it, though. Videogames can excellent (Vagrant Story, Phantasy Star IV, Witcher 3, The Last of Us etc)
 
Yes it's a prequal that shows how Ellie got the way she did. It switches between the part of the Last of Us when you control Ellie and a time in the past where her and her friend are goofing around in a mall.
 
Yeah, I'm going to play Left Behind, it's on the disc. But I'll wait for a bit. Horizon Zero Dawn arrives tomorrow.

How on earth did I miss that? I had a look on the disc and saw it. So happy.

Now all I need to do is finish AC:Chronicles and Steep, and I'll go back to Ellie :)

(I've all but given up on Alien:Isolation after just repeatedly getting killed and now the alien has learnt my hiding techniques so I just can't get past this stage. And I'm not even that far into the - but can't face restarting it!)

Burned out on Destiny, I haven't played in a while. But I'm waiting impatiently for Mass Effect: Andromeda. So excited! I just hope I dont get sucked into it and lose focus from the story I'm working on.
