I'm slogging through Ys Seven, which is easily my least favorite game in the franchise by a healthy margin. It's bland enough that it's making me question on if I should even bother playing the remake of 4 since it uses a similar party system. Yuck. So bland, so grindy, and so snore-inducing.

Just finished playing Wind Wanker HD. Parents got me a Wii U for Christmas so I played Mario Bros. U, Mario 3D Worlds, and WW HD. I have DK Tropical Freeze on order.

I've been playing a buncha my Steam games but got distracted by the Wii U. I might play Batman Arkham Origins next but I really need to push myself to finish some of the scary games I have (Amnesia Pigs and Outlast). I recently played The Swapper and, while it's a Portal-like puzzle game, the story is kinda dark and made me think a lot about death.

Finished Dirt3, started on Ys I Chronicles, but the damn game keeps crashing every 10 minutes on my computer, for no reason, so i might skip it.

I want to replay Sine Mora, and i'm trying to finish GG Aleste II on Hard, not an easy task, for sure.

found it quite good indeed, but I won't go back and find all secrets in all areas. That is not replay value, it's shitty achievement mania. However, dunno about the next "big" thing.

In parallel I play Legend of Dungeon, Teleglitch, Rogue Legacy, Hammerwatch, Classic Rogue and Cardinal Quest.

Yes, I'm a roguelike nerd, so what?

I'm bouncing between a million things. Big ones right now are Assasin's Creed 4 on ps4, Wind Waker HD which I really need to go back to, and Metal Gear Rising on PC.

The last game I actually finished was A Link Between Worlds. That was the most enjoyable Zelda I played since OoT and was so good that I did nothing but play it straight through.

I've probably been playing more Pinball Arcade than anything else. Ps4 version has pretty lighting, but not all of the tables. PC version has portrait mode though :)

I'm currently working through Injustice, and Need for Speed Rivals on the PS4. The Wind Waker on Wii U. Diablo 3 on the PS3. And the Xbox One is justy kinb of sitting now. The surround sound pass-through for DVRs is in beta, but I just don't feel like turning the beast on. Forza isn't doing it for me, and I can't play shooters without a light gun.

Hardware wise I am so exploiting remote play on the Vita to the PS4. When the network connection is good, this feature is so bitchin

For hundreds of hours.

I can't seem to commit to my single-player games.

But I'm taking a pause - it's so good I wanted to enjoy it longer, so took a break.

Bit hard to focus on one game after the xmas Steam sale. Just finished Saints Row IV (after doing III) and been trying the extra DLC from Sleeping Dogs.
Also been fooling around with Starforge (but not too much, don't want to get bored until it gets out of Alpha).

That game has some minor annoyances that I wish had gotten a brief brush up before release (map navigation towards the end is a pain in the dick and the reverse difficulty curve makes the most difficult dungeon in the game is the first one), but it sucked me in so hard for the entire duration of the adventure and helped rekindle my love for the series after being thoroughly burnt out on SMT III. Still not sure if I'd be down for tackling the newer Persona games (I did not like 1 and 2).

Soul Hackers totally hit the sweet spot for me, too.

I picked up the Wind Waker WiiU box and haven't had the time to hook the damn system up yet. :(

Really looking forward to playing the port and I've been snapping up some other WiiU games on the cheap while out game shopping. Super excited about 3D Worlds :D

You'll have fun when you get to it. I took advantage of Black Friday-Christmas period and snapped up a few games so cheap it was buy 1 get 1 pricing. Rayman, Super Luigi U, and another plus a ps3 game. System gets a bad wrap due to the lies by some devs and a few legit complaints too bottled into a lack of third party support but what's there is solid. And if by some reason PC/PS3 ignored some games that popped up at launch those could have been new too.

Currently I put console stuff on the side for the most part other than finding Dragon's Crown for $30 and Tomb Raider PS3 steelbook for $15 because I got Bravely Default for 3DS which is amazing.

Yes! Although shorter, I enjoyed it much more than Strange Journey.
Also the "future as seen from 1996" feel was interesting (nostalgia? not really, but kinda).

Got Persona 3 on Shield (emulated), but haven't done much on it yet so can't really comment.
