What game(s) are you playing right now?

After a month of no Xbox thanks to leaving my tv cable at my parents', I've finally got it back, and played my way through all of Halo 3 for the umpteenth time. Fanboying over Halo aside, I'm playing Pokemon Y on my 3DS as I usually do.

I also plan on playing through ME1 again, this time playing as myself over purposely acting like a fool the whole way through and watching many of my allies die from my stupid choices.

I can't bring myself to not be the ultimate hero in such story driven RPGs. I immerse myself a little too much. There are definitely some renegade options that I habitually take throughout the series, but I'm always far and away a paragon and completionist. With the exception of the one unavoidable instance in ME1, I've always made it through 1 and 2 without loosing anyone.

Edit: Actually, I take that back. I did loose someone on my first playthrough of 2 because I hated them and never pursued any form of conversation with them. I have since learned to appreciate all of the cast.

I understand what you mean completely. I immerse myself in the games, but I always make the choices I think I'd make in real life. If someone is bugging me, I'll renegade and tell them where to shove it. :P same in any game really, I try and make the choices I think I'd make if it were really me.

I've almost finished cleaning up all the side stuff in preparation for heading to Virmire. Sadly, after I finish ME, I really need to take a break and finish playing through DA in anticipation of Inquisition, which looks amazing!

;A; You view it as I do. Preparation. x: Ahaha, yeah, I need to find a way to completely DA:O. It's so difficult though because I SUCK SO BADLY AT IT. It's ridiculous how incapable I am at that game even though I thoroughly enjoy it. I don't know if I have much interest in DA II because of the multitude of bad reviews though... xD Inquisition DOES look great, though, from what I could tell. I saw Leliana in a recent gameplay video. c:

Right? It's even worse in ME2 when you not only have to be the only capable person in the military, but you have to be the only capable surveyor and miner as well, because it's not important to keep the one person capable of saving the galaxy supplied so he doesn't have to take valuable time mining ore himself.

Worse? I LOVE surveying and mining! XD I think it's a bunch of fun! Mostly because it's good procrastination if you wanna take a break from missions, or you just want the game to stretch out so thinly so you can squeeze the most out of it. Also, herself in my case, thank you.

Bro...I can understand those feels. I tried SO HARD not to let anyone die. I was literally shaking with fear throughout the entirety of ME3 when I played through it for the first time (which was only a few months ago) because I was so desperately afraid of anyone dying. xD Well, anyone I cared about. No other franchise has managed to get me to that point aside from Mass Effect. xD I hope you succeed this time! It's probably more enjoyable when you make the "right" decisions.

I'm kinda on and off a few games:
Phantasy Star Online 2
Dark Souls 2
Disgaea D2
Disgaea 4

I'm totally there with ya, ME is the only game where I've actually just about agonized over moments when a decision I was about to make could have dire ramifications for my crew. I don't think I've ever been brought to such emotion as I was in the Mass Effect series, and multiple times throughout the games at that.

To both of you, I have but one thing to say...


Does this unit have a soul? ;~;

Dude. Not cool. Why would you do that? Now I hurt inside.

'cause he's definitely my favourite character. The feels are real.

In other gaming news, I played Infamous: Second Son at a friend's this morning. I'm not sure what to make of it, but it seems pretty good.

Weeeeeeell:

Mass Effect 2 AGAIN 8D
Dragon Age 2 - gotta prep for Inquisition! >:D
Pokemon X
Pokemon Emerald
Tomb Raider - the latest one because I am yet to finish it!
SKYRIM - doesn't need a reason. 'Nuff said.

I always play games like ME, DA and Elder Scrolls by moral decision first. Cause I'm a good girl. :D THEN I RUIN LIVES AND SEND EVERYONE TO OBLIVION ON MY SECOND PLAYTHROUGH. >D BWAHAHAHA. I really wanna save up for a PS4 so I can purchase one before Inquisition comes out. Oh my gawd, those graphics... *drools*

I can't wait for Inquisition! After I finish up ME1 I'm going to focus on finishing the DA games as well. I'm in Denerim in DA:O getting ready for the Landsmeet so I don't have too much more before I try to force myself through DA2 again. :P
