What Are You Playing Right Now? (Gaming Thread)

[nvanprooyen]

I finally got around to upgrading my TV and just started Horizon Zero Dawn from the beginning. Jesus, what a beautiful game it is. It's definitely top 5 for me on the PS4.

Just finished FF VII REMAKE......not sure what to say. 40 hrs and I am exhausted. They did well but I did not want it to end......can’t wait for the remaking stories if any

Is that a good exhausted? I’m 25 hours in and I love it! It’s a very different game (obviously) but the story is so good. I’ve been taking my time with it so I don’t finish it too fast... been playing MLB The Show, Nioh 2 and Slay the Spire along with FF7

Very good exhausted...it is almost too good. I stopped for a couple of days right before sector 5 in the church. From then on I want all out. Lucky I’m quarantined. I don’t know how they are going to top what they did with this game.

Forgot how morally grey and depressing Witcher could be. Played the quest where a fellow Witcher was higher to kill a Leshen and then the villagers tried to stiff him on payment offering just 12 crowns when they had agreed to over a 100. They then lure him to a barn where they claim the gold is and then try to murder him. He loses his temper and kills the entire village save for one girl that reminded him of his sister.

So I was torn regarding this decision. On one hand a lot of the villagers were in on the plan to stiff and then try to murder him not to mention Witchers risk their lives yet people generally shit on them. On other hand, he most likely could have diffused the situation without kill all the villagers.

In the end, he owned up to the fact he lost his temper. Witchers are suppose to be neutral and as a Witcher who almost died when a village turned on me hence the title Butcher of Blaviken, I decided to spare him. Reminds me of my favorite quite from the books and game that sum up Geralt's character nicely.

“Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all.”

Bro I’m level 34 going into final prep. My bro said to do the two expansions after finishing the main story. I’ve done everything but the expansion. I looked at my failed missions and see some based on my decisions I’ve made hilarious! This game is really in depth it’s nuts that decisions will make multiple outcomes. Idk how they fit this all in one game talk about getting your moneys worth! So I was warned about multiple endings so I’m going to google the best outcome I don’t want my time spent on the game ruined by choosing the wrong ending

 

[remydat]

I am level 25. Still trying to clear all the contracts and side quests in order of rank. So havent progressed main story since 3rd main quest in Skellige which is level 15.

Unless you dying to finish the main quest, I like doing the 2 expansions first especially Blood and Wine. The Turn and Face the Strange quest that unlocks the new mutagen tree is part of that expansion. Either way is fine though.

If you are that far along then you you probably already made some decisions that affect the ending.

Endings - The Witcher 3 Guide - IGN

The Witcher 3 has 36 different endings. This does not mean that there are almost 40 ending cutscenes, and it instead refers to the number of variations there

www.ign.com

That is a good starting point.

If you guys haven't played Horizon Zero Dawn, you should. Amazing story, game play and it is absolutely stunning visually.

I’m going to play that after Witcher

 

[Bigfoot]

Mlb20 the show. Although I'm thinking of getting the Witcher. Would like a good story based game.

The plot to last of us 2 has been leaked and the game now will be released June 19 cause of that

based on what I’ve read unless it ends up being false I won’t even buy the game if it’s in the $10 bin

Yah, I read it... it’s awful, just awful.

 

[nvanprooyen]

If you guys could avoid any spoilers re TLoU 2, regardless of how awful you might think it is, that would be great.

Ok been playing Witcher 3 the last few days and this game ages pretty well. I forgot how massive this world is as just so much shit too to do.

I see I'm not the only one.

I found a suite of excellent tweaks for the FCR3 mod which I always use. Really been enjoying playing through things again.

I hear yeah that’s why I was vague in what I said if anyone wants to see the leaks they aren’t hard to find. Just saying based on what I saw I have better things to do with my time and money. It pisses me off cause it kills any excitement for the rumors of a new show based on the game and the game was one of my fav of all time

I play on console so cant take advantage of mods but yeah game is just all around fun.

So who are people's favorite characters in the game? For me my 2 favorite characters are the White Flame Dancing on the Graves of his Enemies. I hated him at first and always plotted his downfall but reading the books and thinking about the character in light of the environment he grew up in, I came to appreciate the character more and more. It helps that Charles Dance (Tywin from GoT) narrates him.

Dijkstra - Former spymaster and now underworld criminal, his character experienced many ups and downs. In a different world he and Geralt could have been friends but often times they find themselves on opposing sides of a conflict.

Lambert - Probably my favorite Witcher in the game for his simplicity. He is resentful for the circumstances that led to him becoming a Witcher and is an ass at times but will answer the call when necessary.

The Bloody Baron is some of the finest voice acting I've ever heard in a game. He manages to be bawdy, boisterous, brutal, and contrite at the same time. He knows he's a shit man and tries to make up for it in his own pathetic way, but he can't overcome himself. He's just a perfect character.

Yeah forgot about him. You start off thinking he is completely in the wrong but when you hear his side of things you realize that while he was wrong, he was not alone in destroying that relationship. Character reminds me of Robert Baratheon from GoT.
