Anyone playing Nation Sates?

That game is still around? I remember playing it with HC guys 10+ years ago for several months. We all had the standard Young White American Male Ayn/Ludwig Lovechild Fantasy going on pretty hard, would be funny to see how/if everyone has changed.

I keep making new characters in Dark Souls III, but I'm running out of entertaining ways to mess with people. I just can't find the magic or freedom Demon's and Dark Souls had.

Yeah i played it whn it first came out 13 or so years ago and just started a new country the other day.
Theyve changed a few thigs about gameplay that are debatably cool, but it seems most people are on there to role play which is kinda weird and off putting. That and the fact that people seem to "raid" refions by basically swamping an area, being dicks and forcing others out.
Im enjoying making decisions that seem to end up having the opposite effect of what i intended and finding out that my political views are actually pretty boring.

Just finished RE7. How fucking refreshing was that!? Solid, solid stuff!

New RE-list:

REmake
RE1
RE:CV
RE7
RE3
RE2
RE4
RE5
RE:Zero
RE6

Still need to play those Revelation games. But first, gotta play RE7 again for some more trophies and different ending!

2nd playthrough of RE7, going with Japanese audio for added surrealism.

Still need to play those Revelation games.

Revelations 1 is really good for a lower budget, 3rd person RE game, easily prefer it to 5 and 6 and Jill wears a jumpsuit. Probably better played on the 3DS because it has 15-20 minute gameplay chunks. Revelations 2 gets way more praise than it deserves and is only really worth playing for the Mercenaries Mode.

Wait, what? Fuck off.

Deus Ex was the last bastion of story based RPGs for me. I'm sick to death of multiplayer and franchise tie-ins, I just want to support these these types of games.

I ever get to get any closure on any of the media that I like; Evangelion, Deus Ex, Metalocalyspe, MGS. Everything always gets fucked around with.

So, I tried playing Zelda - Phantom Hourglass. Couldn't do it, too annoying. I guess I'll have to live without playing through the DS-games and the multiplayers, completionism be damned.

Anyway, played through the original again instead. Man, that is a fun game. Now I've got ALttP lined up for more replay fun, before BoW comes out in a month.

Replayed RE7 on easy in just under 3 hours for the 4 hour speedrun trophy and some unlockables. I know legit speedrunners are clocking in at 1,5 hours now, but yeah...feels good man.

Next up is Madhouse difficulty and 100% on files, coins and mr. everywhere's. It's about to get brutal!

I tried to love Dishonoured 2, but I can't do it. Maybe it's that my head's not on straight and I can't concentrate, but it's not working.
I'm doing Mordheim: City of the Damned which engages my love of minis tabletop gaming without having to make me angry at the book keeping involved in minis tabletop gaming.

Playing through the Master Chief Collection when my infant daughter wakes me up. She sleeps on me and I murder aliens from about 4-5am.

Yet to try to pull this off. Not sure why. Don't want to play games on low volume maybe?

I'd be afraid of getting all worked up in the game and bolting upright, throwing the kid across the room.

Bound to happen someday. Lol.

Mmmm.

I'm going to have to pick this up, never picked up the Wii U version - but I've always loved Yoshi games and the art of this is so rad.

I didn't get into Phantom Hourglass either. Instead I got into the Castlevania games. All 3 are worthy of consideration for pinnacle of the series.

Def replay ALttP. And then play the randomizer way once or a few times. It's super fun.

Yeah it's not ideal, but if you've gotta be up at some horrible hour it's not a bad way to go. Low volume all of the time, too. I feel like I'm missing a lot of objectives or something...

I watched a lot of anime with subtitles during the first month or two because no volume and subtitles got it done.

Friend bought me Overwatch. Roadhog is fun but bad with the hook.
I wreck everyone with Bastion but his playstyle is so simple it gets kinda boring.
The cowboy guy is really annoying to play against and always wins.
