The "What Video Game are you Playing" thread

Made a lot of progress on Skyrim's story (much further than I got before my console broke but back then I had a life and friends). Although the actual level design is painful and drawn out I'm loving the dwarf lore in this game. I had to check a few times that I hadn't fallen through one of Anna's tears and found myself in an alternative version of Rapture.

Anyone played Journey? I just did and it has to be the most beautiful experience in gaming I've had since Shadow of the Colossus.

Although everything about it is amazing, the most beautiful part has to be the companions you meet along the way. I met some anonymous players who I worked out the puzzles with and towards the end, when the journey gets really perilous, I found myself worrying for them and deeply appreciating their companionship. It felt like we really went through a lot together though I had neither name nor face to place to the players.

I think any game that makes you feel so strongly for anonymous people that you can't talk or communicate with beyond simple actions is really something.

It wasn't cheap for its length, but every cent spent on this set (that included the interesting Flow and the similarly beautiful Flower) was well spent. It was a truly heartfelt gaming experience.

Skyrim's level design has improved over Oblivion's (which was truly horrid) but sometimes it can get frustrating, yes. I still think Dwarven (Dwemer) lore in Morrowind is the best but Skyrim does a great job too.

Made loads of progress on Skyrim's story this morning. Became a Thane of some other place and got myself a sidekick out of it, defeated Alduin in our first battle and decided to stuff the Blades and keep Parthonax alive, who has helped me way more.

Blazing the Combusken, LV 18.

I just beat the second Gym and i feel like my team is overleveled, which is a good thing because i can avoid dying.

Don't we have a Pokemon thread?

Anyway, what's the point in listing deceased members? They can't be part of the team anymore.

I'm listing the Deceased members because i want to know how many members have died by the end of it.

Working through Dragonball Z Budokai 3's HD remake on my XBOX 360. I loved this game when I had my PS2 and its even better with the new graphics. Just trying to remember how to unlock everyone now.

I loved Budokai 3. After the travesty of Budokai 1 and the very mediocre Budokai 2, I was surprised how much fun 3 was.

i'm still on that Borderlands 2 grind.
