What Are You Playing? (December 2012)

For some reason i can't get into this mario. It's fun and all but feels like somethings missing



But this one I'm having a blast with! On world 3 at the moment



Started playing this first few nights but haven't come back to it for some reason. Will have to get back into it this month. Great game and shows off what the Wii U is capable of.



Started a 2nd playthrough last night. Did a mage on the first time but now doing a battle mage. Still an amazing game:

Re: What Are You Playing? (December 2012)

I haven't been into fighting games for many years even though I played the hell out of the growing up. But I have started playing Super Street Fighter IV and am blown away at how well it made the transistion to the current generation. The game is just incredible.

Besides that I am playing the usual suspects: Fifa 13 & NBA 2k13.

Re: What Are You Playing? (December 2012)

More like what am I not playing

Right now, I play a lot of NBA 2k13

On my backlog but still have played the last few days (sparingly of course):

Dead Rising 2: OTR
Forza Horizon
WWE 13
Hitman Absolution

The backlog now consists of:

Assassins Creed III (maybe 75% done)
Sniper Elite v2 (still sealed )
Both Lego Harry Potter games (one is sealed the other is maybe 10% done)
NHL 13 (barely played it, not much interest with the lockout going on)
XCOM (still sealed )

I also got rid of Dishonored, and Need For Speed Most Wanted because I got bored and didn't finish them.

I haven't even bought Black Ops 2 yet.

Working through the Spartan Ops mission on legendary in Halo 4. Got the first two chapters knocked out so far. And I'm about half way through Forza Horizons.

Re: What Are You Playing? (December 2012)

Diablo 3 -- just had the urge to fire this up a few days ago. U can get good gear for cheap now on the GAH. My level 60 DH is at 92,000 dps and 800 resists. I am doing pretty well in inferno.

Dark Souls -- no surprises there

The Walking Dead -- very cool but it is going to be slow going with this one.

Dead Space

Lego Batman 2 -- my first lego game.

Farming Sim 2013 -- don't laugh, it rocks

Guild Wars 2 -- fun but I don't play much for some reason

The backlog is huge

Darksiders
Titan Quest
Borderlands 2
Doom 3 bfg edition
Path of Exile
Torchlight 2
Bioshock 1 & 2
Condemned
Dead Island
Half Life 2

Some of the I have played a little but not much. I only have around 10 hours of game time a week.

I used to criticize people for having backlogs (why buy the game if you aren't gonna play it?) but Black Friday killed me

Skyrim is another I never finished. The bugs made it impossible.

yeah, it is big in germany. i think the developer is from germany. the game will actually be released on 360 and PS3 in Europe if you can believe that. The PC game is compatible with the 360 controller.

Alot of the tractors are European, because i have never heard of them. Lamborghini has a tractor...not joking. There are only 2 american tractors -- Case but no john deere.

Re: What Are You Playing? (December 2012)

Primarily working on:

XCOM: Enemy Unknown (getting through it despite not figuring out the finer points of the game before a couple of countries up and left me, still fighting the good fight though).

Borderlands 2 (very slow, very methodical)

SVC: Golden Axe (done everything except beat III and get a true ending)

Lego Batman (all achievements except the glitched citizen one (because I play co-op w/wife), trying to go back this month and clean it up one way or another)

I would like to mix in WWE 13, NBA 2K13, and Lego Batman 2 as well. Oddly enough Enemy Unknown is keeping my interest a lot more than Borderlands. I know a lot of people love Borderlands and I did too at first, but levels seem slow now and the extra quests seem tedious. I'll keep playing though but its a one character playthrough most likely. I'm a lot more likely to do a second game of XCom at this point.

WWE 13 - Still awesome.
Borderlands 2 - I hate this game. I don't know why I'm still playing it.
Assassins Creed 3 - A major letdown. I'll probably abandon it.

This the biggest gaming mystery to me...maybe ever -- I was obsessed with Borderlands 1. I put 100+ hours into it. I cannot get into BL2. I just don't understand why. It is alot more difficult and it is more aggravating trying to find things. I don't shy away from difficult games, i am a dark souls fanatic, but this one gives me serious issues. I got it off steam so i can't trade it or sell it unfortunately

Assassins Creed 3 but I dunno for how much longer. I've never not finished an AC game (not even the dull as hell first game) but this one is trying my patience. Not even the story is compelling enough to keep me playing.

I took a loooong break from this game until this past weekend. Of course there is the paragon system which is nothing really, it just makes you feel nice that you are still able to level. It takes forever to level up though. i put 8 hours into the game over the weekend and just went from paragon 1 to 3. I was playing 100% inferno as well.

Anyway, the biggest change for me is that you can get really good gear off of the GAH for cheap. I just play with my lv 60 demon hunter. I got her up to 110,000 DPS Her resists are 600+. Before I took my long break, I wasn't able to advance at all in Act 2 inferno, but now I am blazing through it with no issues. However, belial is a big problem.

If I can keep my distance I can one shot most enemies my critical hit chance is pretty high.

I am sure I will get bored again soon, but I am having a good time again. I have no urge to start a new character. I have a level 38 barbarian, but I don't like using him.
