Topic: What game(s) have you been playing lately?

Beaten the original Gothic. Decided to go back to Skyrim SE and finally finish the last expansion.

Still playing the hell out of Wolfenstein - The Old Blood. I really didn't like the challenge maps at first, since they feel like a subpar attempt at RE4 Mercenaries Mode, but I'm loving them now. It can be a bit cryptic to find out how to maximize enemy spawns sometimes - like in the Caves, where grabbing the turret and approaching the exit switch both spawn more enemies - but it's fun once you get the hang of it.

Going for the platinum in this one, just like with The New Order. Got all collectibles and Nightmare levels on Death Incarnate, so now I'll go back to Uber mode and play through it without worrying about having to collect anything. Still like The New Order more than this game, but it's not too far behind. 

The only gripe I have with this game is the Quick Turn perk you get after killing 50 enemies from cover. It enables you to do a 180-degree turn by clicking on the left thumbstick, so it's very useful if you want to die in a quick and confusing manner. I can't count how many "oh shit!" moments I've had where I need to back up from enemies in a hurry (while still shooting at them), and I accidentally click the thumbstick while I'm pulling back to get away. The only thing you can do to avoid death at that point is run like hell and pray that you don't get chopped down by gunfire. But hey, I guess it makes tense gun battles even more tense! Or something. (And no, there's no way to turn it off, sadly)

Once more playing Fallout New Vegas (the regular game). I own both the regular game and the re-released ultimate edition. However after play NV:UE I was disappointed with the constant threat of the assassin squads that appear to hound you for ever twenty to thirty minutes at a time. And to top things off you waste lots of precious resources just to survive because they are stupid-tough. I guess Bethesda thought it would be a good idea to make such a change in the game. No Bethesda, no it wasn't a good idea. Despite not having any of the DLC the regular game is far more enjoyable to me. Sometimes less is more and Bethesda proved that with their error.

I kind of want to start playing Nioh but I'm still waiting to see if it's actually a decent game or just another meme.

Are you talking about the Legion assassins? Those guys were seriously annoying...if they spawned at even half the rate, they wouldn't be so bad. At least they seem to become a joke after a while, but it still sucks getting sidetracked from progress nonetheless.

Do they still spawn after you kill Caesar? I can't remember. I just remember one mission where I had to go meet Caesar, so I went there, killed him and then everyone else (well, okay, except for their slaves). That was hard as hell for me...lots of reloads on that one.

If you like Souls, you'll probably like it. A mate of mine is a huge souls buff and he thinks Nioh is the bee's knees.

I never did get this far yet. I have a habbit of restarting my games for some silly reason    All I know is that in NV: UE, when I slaughtered the legion at Nipton I was vilified by them and since that point onward, I kept on encountering assassin squads like they were coming off of an assembly line. It was stupid! At least in the regular game of NV I don't have that worry. I did encounter an assassin squad but they were nowhere near as strong as they were in NV: UE, so I just wiped the floor with them and moved on. That's how it should have been in the other version hey Bethesda?

What if I only love-hate Souls?

The PS1 version of Real Bout Garou Densetsu (Real Bout Fatal Fury). This port is about 85% of original arcade quality which is good, but missed one thing: The Shadow's Japanese voice in Geese Howard's mirror battle with his Shadow. The Shadow is mentally unstable and I think he wants to create another chaos in South Town.

I'm totally hooked on Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir.  It's so well improved over the original, and comparable to Dragon's Crown.  I figured it would drag on after I finished the first character story, but I can't wait to play more every day.

Been playing Dark Souls 3, an experience I can only describe as

Garou MOTW is on PSN now with online capability and extras

I heard it for quite a time. It makes me wonder what kind of extra this "new version/port" brings...

Graphic/music style wise, I prefer RB series more. MOTW is OK to me but it won't be my first preference for some reason.

Standard stuff like online, leaderboards, tourny rooms, training mode etc.

I didn't mind RB Special, and I think KOF 98 and the last KOF prior to XII were my favourite. (not MI)
