What Game Are You Currently Playing?

I've given the Mordor games a play - both of them - and while I get really into them for a day or two, they very quickly become so repetitive I just walk away. It's not even just the combat, as the maps also feel identical even when they've changed the setting.

Anyway, came to post here because I've noticed a few people have mentioned Field of Glory II and it's currently cheap on IndieGala. Its DLC are also on sale for anyone who already has the game.

It's also about the same price on Humble, a little cheaper if you have Choice (but the deal expires sooner)

Final Fantasy VII Remake. Pretty disappointed with it. They transformed the first 7 hours of the original game into a boring 70-hour playthrough. And now we have to keep buying the rest of the game in episodes o_O
 
Matthew, I tried the first game, and although I like the world, and the Nemesis system, it really didn't grab me.

Alex, interesting, I rather liked the remake. To be fair, you don't *have to* buy the other parts.

That's what I mean too. I played each for long enough to get a very good feel for them but nothing was bringing me back to them as it all felt very samey after a fairly short time.
 
Shadows of Morrrdorrr is rather repetitive, and part of the problem is that Mordor is imagined as just an empty load of mud, cliffs and broken walls (how it actually supports life, I don't know). One of the pleasures of Assassin's Creed was that its world was interesting to look at, where as Shadows just looks dull. There's never that feeling, which I get from the best open world games, of "Let's go and look at that cool thing". There's a sort of satisfaction from finally killing some irritating orc leader, but it's not like Assassin's Creed or Skyrim, where a lot of the fun comes from discovering things.
 
I’m still playing Fallout New Vegas. I’m not really playing the main quest (although I have progressed quite a bit). I tend to spend my time exploring and killing things. I recently spent all my hard earned/stolen caps on an Anti-Materiel Rifle at the Gun Runners kiosk. I also bought as many explosive shells for it as I could afford.

Wow! Not only can I take out a Deathclaw at long range with just one shot but I once managed to take out two of the blighters at the same time. A young Deathclaw fell to co-lateral damage.
It’s great for accumulating lots of XP.

I love this gun:)

Have you been to Big MT yet? By far my favourite DLC of any Fallout game.

This is great. Pay keen attention to the secondary characters. The developers took their time crafting those.

Unfortunately , I failed to upgrade my weapons . This proved problematic when I went to a place that was monster infested and , the creatures weren't bothered by any of my weapons. :(

I believe the version I’m playing has all the DLCs but I have no idea what Big MT is. There are a couple of DLCs where you have to leave the Mojave with no way back until you complete that add on. I haven’t ventured there yet because I have too many wonderful weapons stashed away that I’d hate to leave behind.

An update. After a bit of googling, I find Big MT is activated at the Mojave satellite (which I’ve found). I haven’t gone there yet but I will eventually go there with guns ablazing:)

On a nostalgia trip, I loaded up Assassin's Creed 2 and the "classic" (ie basic) version of World of Warcraft.

Assassin's Creed 2 is still excellent. The plot is sub-Dan Brown gibberish, and the modern-day bits are boring, but climbing over Renaissance Italy is fantastic. The missions are fun, and there's loads of entertaining stuff to do. Jumping into wagons never loses its appeal. A very enjoyable game.

World of Warcraft is odd. I have very fond memories of playing it with my friend Mark: being amazed at the size of it, and the ability to talk to other players. I remember a picture of a dwarf fighting an owl-bear on the front cover, and thinking "This looks incredible". Now, it looks pretty basic and the setting is very empty. The missions are repetitive, and the character interaction is pretty minimal. And yet the art style has a certain charm, and it's simple, mindless fun. I don't think it's terribly good, but it's entertaining to see it again.
 
Playing Watchdog Legion on the PS5 and loving how they recreated London for the game.

On the PC trying out Days Gone (Hordes make my system a little choppy) and it looks gorgeous and about to try Quantum Break as my son thinks its a game I will enjoy.
 
I've been having a lovely, leisurely time with Paper Mario: The Origami King. Just a perfect game to chill out and relax with whilst I bide my time until the awfully named Triangle Strategy arrives, which is easily my most anticipated game of the year to date.
 
Titan Fall 2 in campaign mode on XBox one. Taking my time on it and enjoying how there are various ways to complete each task/battle.
 
Just bought Horizon Forbidden West on the PS4, currently downloading. I really like the first installment and DLC of the franchise, so I'm looking forward to this one.
 
Okay, I succumbed. I had a gift card burning a hole in my Steam wallet, so Elden Ring is now pre-loading. I'm utterly rubbish at Soulsborne games (I've played - but never finished - the original Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Bloodborne) but I just love the atmosphere and the ideas behind them.
