What are you playing?

Chat thread about games that we are playing right now and what our experiences have been like. Non-video games welcomed and encouraged.

I've been playing Pokemon Y on and off for the past two weeks. I'm about five badges in.

Impressions:

-Had to turn off EXP share after first gym because that makes things way too easy.
-Wow there's almost no new mons here
-WHY ARE YOU GIVING ME ALL THESE ITEMS SO EARLY IN THE GAME?
-Gyms are actually pretty neat in 3D graphics
-Lumiose City is cool despite the stupid camera
-Team Flare has to be the least exciting bad guy group.

does ACNL count?

I've barely been playing games this month though, I've been swamped with school. These are just the ones I'm currently trying to get through.[/quote]

ac:nl always counts. I'm two months into it and still have stuff to unlock and upgrade.

Been playing mostly Combat Arms and League.

I usually just wreck people at Two Towers Elimination in Combat Arms, its a pretty broken game though.

- Not fun to solo, at least for me
- Reminds me of Monster Hunter, but I prefer MonHun anyway
- Too much brainless people who knows how to kill, but doesn't know how to Tower Defense

Mahjong (JP)
- RNG all day

Pretty much only mini games rather than videogames nowaday

You dont have to spend real money in order to become powerful within the game. There is no way to even "win" in maplestory anyway.

Just finished FE:A but then found that SMT4 was on sale at the eshop so I went for it. Too bad I missed Best Buy's eshop card sale
Anyways:
-tutorial was brutal. I've played Strange Journey so the format is familiar to me but for some reason I had a really bad time. After that, it hasn't been too bad.
-Bought DLC but I may have buyer's regret because I went crazy with the armor sets. Haven't bought the postgame/near endgame DLC's yet but I plan to.
-LOVE the voice acting, except for Isabeau's "PARDON ME". like what was that holy crap

FIFA 14

- Everyone in Division 1 plays to try to exploit issues with lob balls and headers
- The defending AI sucks!
- The market crash has made making new teams easier
- The community just gets worse with every passing year

Yeah I'm playing this game slowly because I know there will be nothing once I'm done. I think what they should have done was not load you up with TMs so early and make them rare. Then you could spend the post game hunting down attacks at least. The game gets too easy when you have a bunch of TMs you can use repeatedly.

The game was okay just okay. I got to interact with a basiler for a bit.
I'm playing Starbound at the moment. It's pretty cool.. kinda like Terraria still in beta stage so I don't expect much.
I have two extra keys for it and for Terraria too prolly will make thread to give them away.
