What's everyone currently playing?

During my down periods and breaks at work, I play Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. The fact that there's no dancing this time around upped the pace of this game significantly. I can't believe I'm saying this of all people, but I gotta go fast!

I'm playing this so far with no hints or guides. So far, I'm doing more than well, but those extra squids and tinkerbats are starting to grate on my nerves. I spend hours just running around looking for another solution to that one extra JUST out of reach. On the upside, I get to experience more of the soundtrack...

Speaking of which, I think this is Kaufman's best work so far. He took what he learned from the first Mighty Switch Force, Double Dragon Neon, and Shantae: Risky's Revenge into a Plague Knight style cauldron. I kid, but those first 3 influences are definitely prevalent. I just wish he would have remixed/added "She's Got Moves" song too. It was my favorite song from Risky's Revenge beating out Burning Town and the File Select song which BOTH returned in Pirate's Curse:



Heck the remix of it he personally made for OCremix would have been perfect for this game.  It was even featured in one of the first trailers:

Starting Danganronpa 2 and replaying Super Meat Boy now that it's been released on Vita. (not liking the new music however)

Metro Last Light Redux is no more, now it's time for a VN, in this case, Little Busters!

Man, RDR was one hell of a game. I enjoy it more than any of the GTA's. It's high time we got a new addition in the series.

I'd definitely double dip and repurchase it if it was available on PC.

Just bought the Tales from Borderlands
The first time I buy a game like this, I'm enjoying it
Currently on Episode 3

I'm trying to get into the Halloween spirit too, come to think of it I never did finish that Outlast DLC. Perhaps I'll play that on the 31st for some spooky goodness. 

After spending quite some time with Samurai Warriors 4-II, I've got mixed feelings on it.

I've never been terribly bothered by the lack of depth in the combat system of Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors games, and most of the other criticisms directed at Warriors games seem to be made by people who haven't actually played them, but this game...

On one hand, they fixed a number of annoying issues that were in the first SW4 (my character now won't abruptly stop everytime he gets a new objective, the AI of enemy officers is less helpless and they'll even use Musou attacks on me) on the other hand, the story mode leans heavily toward the redundant side of things. Story mode contains 13 character stories, mostly dedicated to new characters like Takatora Todo and Naomasa Ii, each story is comprised of five battles, but the problem is that you tend to spend way too much time doing the Odawara Campaign, the Battle of Sekigahara, and the Osaka Campaign. To add insult to injury, sometimes the battle will be the exact same, with the exact same missions and progression. (e.g. the Osaka battle at the end of Kojuro's story is the exact same as the Osaka battle at the end of Nobuyuki's story, the only difference is some minor dialogue to accommodate the different protagonist of the story.)

This also results in Free Mode being overloaded with Odawara, Sekigahara, and Osaka battles. It's also lame that they removed Chronicles Mode, the mode that's supposed to star your Create-A-Warrior. Granted, SW4's Chronicles Mode got monotonous with one contextless battle after another, but had the perk of seeing my CAW start to befriend every official playable cast member. SW4II just has the much lamer Survival Mode. On that note, it's a shame that, although SW4 and SW4II have the exact same character creator tools, my custom characters from the first game didn't transfer over.

SW4II is recommendable to Warriors fans, but people who are less fond of the games should be a bit skeptical of buying this for full price. And I'll still be playing it a great deal, even if it ended up being a bit less then I thought it would be.

Nah...
the DLC don't give out much, I do want to have the Scenario DLC to have more things to do
I managed to clear the survival mode in Samurai Warriors 4 ii with Gracia ( I have no idea how in the world I managed to use her in this game, while I sucked using her in any other games )
