Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
I am still on my first playthrough. I just cannot play as much as I wanted as my GF is my wingwoman and I am only allowed to play when she is there. So, how do you like it overall? I think it is the weakest of the series so far. I still can recall all the bosses from Demon's Souls and some of the ones from Dark Souls but hardly any boss from DSII since they just do not leave a strong impression. Also, the lore just does not drag me in. It just does not feel as thought through and deep as in the other games. Lots of random things (at least that's how I see it at this point of the game).
So what are these ultimate items you are looking for?

Ok, in general I agree this is the weakest of the series but it still remains a Dark Souls game (which to me means better than 95% of any other release). It certainly lacks some touches in terms of level design, especially thinking of places like the Fortress of Sen (just to mention one level I hated and loved at the same time) and bosses are no way comparable to the Demon's / DS ones, neither in terms of personality nor of difficulty (just a few can be tricky like the giant rat or whatever he's called in Pharos). In NG I haven't taken down the ancient dragon or the king but I'm aiming to kill them in NG+. Overall I'm enjoying it though I think you can feel that Miyazaki wasn't involved in same measure as the previous episodes.
What am I looking for? The Kings Set armour and tempted to go raw with my mace +10. With 91 STR I want to cap at 99 to max the physical dmg; and possibly increase whatever other stats I can to build the ultimate tank

Ha, nothing for my Dex build who is still at 7 points in vigor. Oh, and fuck that giant rat.

I rejoined World of Warcraft after a year and a month of being clean. Just... Kill me, please.

Anyone else played Dragon's Crown? I'm loving it.
Played Dragons Crown solid co-op only with a friend for maybe 20-30 hours all up. It doesn't have much longevity but was tons of fun while it lasted, Once it started to turn into a grind we got bored and stopped playing.
This was the same deal for me with Diablo 3. I really don't care all that much about playing the whole damn thing again just so I have better gear to just kill the same bosses that are only harder to kill. Finished the game on normal and now its collecting dust somewhere.

Anyone else tried The Last of Us on that new grounded mode? I have never thrown my controller in frustration so much.

Never played DC on PS3 but love it on Vita! Awesome art direction!

I only just played tLoU recently, I beat it on normal and then played it all the way through on new game plus. I haven't had so much fun with a game since dead space 2. I can't imagine how grounded mode must be.

i'm not playing wow right now but when the expansion comes out i will be back harder than ever.
Whoa, I didn't realize they brought this over to the US! I've been meaning to play the GBA imports...
I'm on a huge Mega Man kick lately after playing Shovel Knight, which is freaking amazing! And with my 3DS & VITA, I have been super distracted by my DSlite playing some DS and GBA games.
Almost near the end with a couple of games. Dragon Quest I for the GBC. Just have to defeat Dracolord! Shin Megami Tensei IV- 30hrs in and this game has gotten really good!
After finally finishing Mother 3, I started Earthbound a month ago, for the first time. Backwards, I know... Just got to Fourside, which turned Moonside. I love the freaking game!!

Should some of us share steam profiles?
