Topic: What (Non-PS4) game are you playing??

@FullbringIchigo Importing the Switch cart that has a physical version of VII on it? I've thought about it. Getting yet another physical copy of VII after all these years seems... appealing, to some extent.

I'm afraid you've beaten me on the FFVII version ownership front. I don't own the game on either Xbox One or Android.

@Ralizah i probably will import it actually all depends on the cost at the end of the day

For whatever reason I picked up my Vita last night and put on WipEout 2048 to play the HD pack - again, not entirely sure why, given that I was in my living room with the PS4 and Omega Collection available...

It was a nice time. I never took to the HD pack in 2048 (framerate and graphical adjustments turned me off it), but since I'd touched so little of it - it felt like a nice little while.

I have a free day tomorrow, I think Omega Collection is very much on the cards!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy The combat in the first three games is what has kept me from even trying to give them a chance. I hate it. HATE HATE HATE the combat.

Combat in YW4 isn't turn-based, though. The closest thing I can compare it to is Xenoblade Chronicles.

Still not a fan of that IP, but the new combat system looks way more fun, and I respect the sheer level of innovation that went into this entry.

Hi folks, just wondered if anyone has played dragon age origins recently and whether it still holds up? Love the medieval/fantasy combo and played mass effect trilogy for first time this year and loved them (first one is probs one of my favourite games ever now but some games age better than others.

@RogerRoger thanks for that, sounds like you genuinely enjoyed your time and definitely convinced me to give it a go. I bought inquisition and tresspasser dlc on a mad psn sale for a fiver a few months back and keep toying with the idea of the simulate save website or playing the first two. I'll be heading down to CEX for origins and two now! P.s. love your reviews on the review/impressions threads 👍

@RogerRoger will give this thread a shout when I start origins. I'm on the last chamber of portal and have half life 2 from the orange box to go but will be giving origins a bash when I finish! Was away to CEX tomorrow for home alone (Christmas time tradition in our house and all streaming platforms make it chargeable this time of year), so will pick origins up then.

I dunno why it took me so dang long to return to it, but I finally returned to Bioshock after owning it for two years, but never finishing it.

I think above all, it's world is the first thing that grabs me about it. The atmosphere is perfect for a pseudo horror game like this, and a 1940's underwater city is a very interesting setting.

@DerMeister I only played it with the remaster a year or two ago and enjoyed the game but it feels a little clunky compared to more recent games. The setting and story are top notch though, even if the WYK part is so well known now.

Bioshock Infinite is a masterful game too and I highly recommend it if you've not played that one (I actually played it before the others as it was a PS+ freebie on the PS3) and the DLC links the games together really well.

Just returned to my uncompleted playthrough of the Golden Deer route for Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Nearing 80 hours. It's insane how much longer this entry is than any of the other FE games I've played (which generally tend to average about 30 - 40 hours for me). And this game has three other story campaigns to complete!

Good thing it's a fantastic game.

Well since I got a new laptop for Black Friday, I have been playing alot of my old PC games that I haven't been able to play since my desktop blew up a few years ago. Stuff like Sierra's City Builder Series and of course World of Warcraft. Now my laptop cant run the newest WoW but it can run WoW Classic which is fun for me since I never played WoW from the beginning.

@RogerRoger Not so much of a nostalgia trip for me, I actually started playing WoW back during The Lich King expansion. I have heard stories from others about Vanilla WoW and was always curious about it. Plus this scratches my WoW itch nicely. The only thing I have noticed leveling up is alot slower then what I remember from WoW but that's ok with me.

Link's Awakening on Switch.

Got it in just in time for the long Thanksgiving weekend, and I've been able to get through quite a bit of it, just finishing up the Face Shrine (6th dungeon) before I came here to post (I've also already done the Color Dungeon).

I've played the original before, though I have no nostalgia for it (I first played it on 3DS VC), and have to say I'm really enjoying the remake. It's not the deepest, most complex game, but it's the kind of game that just puts a smile on your face & is turning out to be one of my favorite games of the year.

I just got Super Lucky’s Tale on Switch, I played the demo and quite enjoyed it. It reminded me of Croc on PS1 for some reason. I have about 7 other games that I should be playing but I’m not really feeling any of them at the moment and things are a bit stressful at the mo so hopefully this hits the spot. Otherwise I might just stop trying to play games until FF7 lol.

@KratosMD After reading your I am going to have to check it out now. I have been on the fence on getting it especially after the last few Lego games didn't sit well with me.

I'm currently playing through Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe on Switch. I hated my Wii U and hardly bought any games for it because it annoyed me even just turning it on, so I never got round to this the first time. I'm marginally less annoyed using my Switch so I got this for Christmas, and I'm running it alongside more story based games when I just fancy some sweet Mario action.

I have to say I think it's really good, although from what I understand the "New" series is somewhat unpopular amongst a lot of Mario purists. I like it more than Mario Odyssey, if I'm honest, although I didn't really like Mario Odyssey so.

I'm hoping for a port of 3D World, which I've already played but would definitely play again. Totally underrated Mario game.

@KratosMD I played a bit over Christmas and it didn't really do much for me. Will most likely pick it up again at some point but I'm not exactly rushing to get back to it lol. Glad your finding it fun though!

@KratosMD I had no idea Sports Story existed so thanks for that, Golf Story was a good fun game so I have high hopes for the sequel!

Feeling miserable so thought I'd add another game to the rotation and started The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD on the Wii U. I've played the original Wind Waker multiple times over the years, but this is my first play of the remaster. It's still gorgeous, although the new lighting gives an unpleasant solidity to the characters in places. The shading in the original (especially at 480p) is sublime, so it's a bit of a shame. Other than that the QoL improvements are nice, although I dislike the gamepad and find it genuinely painful to use for long periods.

Resident Evil 6 on PS3. A Great action game but a horrible addition to the franchise, like the previous two.
