What are you playing? Episode 2: Sequel Reloaded!

[HK-47]

Puzzle Pirates, needed a second type of fray for last month's seal (Three hours to go at the time) and Ambivalent led me to some Skellies on the sticks of the Malachite side of Meridian, Tethys Island. But when I check to see if there's anywhere near that has a population, Kithara Koro (Close enough, near Nightshade) pops up with 17 people. I whisk over there and there's a crapton of Werewolves, the third and elusive fray-type! I join up, get some lag and steal someone's spot to get my second and final fray-type win for the October Seal.

And there was the super tourney of Yemada (Close enough), with a pot of 3,333,333 poe and over 200 people. Sweeped to the third round where I got my ass kicked but won about 35k. Some alts or long-time SF players were going to win but it was pretty fun. Kinda rusty where it took a Styx song per battle, excluding the ass kicking delivered to me, but hard to beat a good SF.

More ACIII, quite liking the game I must say. Also started on The Walking Dead Episode 1, really liking it, it's kinda like Heavy Rain, but with better controls and better writing.

Master of Orion 2, playing as the Makrons.

Playing them as a Cybernetic plague that sweeps across space.

Ass Creed 3. I like a lot of what they've done, but I far preferred the older control scheme.

Lollipop Chainsaw. Got it while it was on sale for $20 bucks. Really fun gameplay reminiscent of Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, hilarious dialogue, and a killer soundtrack. My only real complaint is that it's rather short, so wait until it hits the bargain bin before you get it to really get your money's worth. Other than that, great game.

[Yutrzenika]

Community Chest 4 with Brutal Doom v17, so much fun.

[Gezkill]

Playing Civ 5 and Fallen Echantress.

Guess my mood for 4x games was greater then I thought.

[Yutrzenika]

Lots more doom using the community chest 4 megawad, and the brutal doom v17 wad. Sooo much fun.

Also been playing ACIII. Almost beat it... I think when I do beat it I'll return it and put the money on a pre order for Far Cry 3, it doesn't feel as though I'll be replaying it. I think from now on AC games will be rentals, they're kinda turning into Ubi's own Calladooty.

EDIT: Beat ACIII. I'll prolly just rent the next one. This one had quite an ending though.

[Fatman]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Second try. This is starting to be quite easy now that i know what i'm doing

[Yutrzenika]

Beat the Borderlands 2 DLC earlier, I quite enjoyed it. Just playing a bit of Just Cause 2, still one of my all time favorite open world games. But I think for now I shall play some of The Walking Dead.

Also, going to the midnight launch of Halo 4 tomorrow. Boy am I stoked.

EDIT: Just got back from the midnight launch. HALO 4, BABY.

[RiceGuard]

Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai. Trying to bring in U.S. Marines to deal with them Shogun forces.

[Yutrzenika]

Loooots of Halo 4. Beat the campaign, aside from some poorly explained plot stuff, it was fantastic. Really loving the multiplayer.

[TheLastOutlaw]

Wait, you beat the campaign and the game has been out less than five hours?   No thanks...

[Yutrzenika]

Don't knock it till you try it, bro.

Fo' realzies tho, I got it at the midnight launch on Monday, so I played half the game that night, and then finished the rest when I woke up, in all it was about 7-8 hours, a respectable length, with goodies to go back for after you beat it.
The multiplayer is fantastic, classic halo gameplay but with call of duty rank progression and unlocks, it works very well. The weapon balance is also FANTASTIC. Every gun in the game feels useful, where as every halo prior there was only ever like one practical gun (Halo 1: Magnum, Halo 2: BR, Halo 3: BR, Halo Reach: DMR), anything else was underpowered.
Spartan Ops is also loads of fun, basically a separate co op mode (You can still do co op campaign, don't worry) with its own campaign that replaces firefight. The missions are short, but really fun, and it's updated like a TV show. Each week there's a new "Episode", an episode having 5 levels, with a full blown cutscene to go along with it to tell the story. If Spartan Ops takes off, 343 will have a new "Season" every month.
In all, Halo 4 is amazeballs, with tons of replay value, and the multiplayer has been vastly improved, Reach feels super chunky in comparison.

I played like an hour or so last night, it's not terrible. It's really just a new Halo, though. To me, at least. I was pretty surprised by the guns, though, and have only found one that I don't actually like. Well, maybe it's not the only one I don't like, but there's only one that's made me go "Ugh. No."
