Gaming's top tier year.2017: What games have you beaten this year, and what are you playing?

[Kooron Nation]

@Rickyraws in all seriousness, how did you like FFXV?
I thought the story mode was good, emotional. But a lot of cool characters didn't get any spotlight or character development.

@KHTC Takgillo @Mista_Snacks how did you like NieR: Automata?
Is it similar at all to Final Fantasy?

 

[Marinjuana]

Hung with my boy Guzma in Pokémon Moon.

Currently am playing Breath of the Wild which is pretty fantastic.

Older stuff but also finished Witcher 3 and it's DLC after a long break and did a replay of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

 

[LaidbackOne]

Bought Ghost Recon Wildlands and sold it 3 days later, what a steaming pile of shit that was.
Can't seem to finish Mankind Divided and I bought it on release but its such a disappointment.
You know when something is wrong when as a die hard MGS fan you absolutely HATED the newest and last entry in the series.
This console generation is just fucking terrible IMO.

I wanna buy the new Hitman. Is this any good? I thought that they killed this awesome series with Absolution so I don't want to buy it based on reviews etc.

Waiting for:

Injustice 2 obviously
Crash Bandicoot Trilogy
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (hope its a Tomb Raider game we actually deserve)
RDR 2 <3
TLOU 2 <3

 

[God Confirm]

Right now playing Layers of Fear. I'm a massive fan of all the art

Most recent finished game was a great gem from humble Event[0]

before that, had went back and played both Chronicles of Riddick games on the suggestion of @Rip Torn

And as always, slowly chewing through Witcher 3 (playing at my wife's pace)

Multiplayer been playing SFV, messing around on IGAU, and recently getting into Heroes of the Storm on recommendation of Smokey. Have lots of hours of Dota but what a fucking waste 60 minute games and cancerous teammates just aren't enjoyable, I prefer the more focused but less in depth take on the genre thanks to Blizzard. Plus the characters are cool.

 

[Eddy Wang]

currently playing:
Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Gwent: The Witcher Card Game (Online Beta)

Looking Forward to:
Tekken 7 Fated Retribuiton


And later on will definitely purchase:
Injustice 2
Watch Dogs 2
Gwent: The Witcher Card game (will purchase on PC maybe)

I don't care about other games!!!

All I care About is Modding my Skyrim game over and over again. If I don't like what I see. Delete that mod and replace it with something better. I have 1142 hours of play time in that game and It will not stop until Injustice 2 comes out!!!

I have it on pc by the way.

 

[Juggs]

-Horizon
-Dark Souls 3 + all DLC, once on NG and once on NG+
-For Honor
-Pokemon Sun (1 hour of unskippable cutscenes after you beat it is dumb af, I just turned my DS off eventually then had to do it all over, so fuck that game)

 

[Tanno]

For 2017 I played:

Horizon: Zero Dawn
Uncharted 1-3
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Jotun
Dark Souls
Final Fantasy XV
NieR Automata

Currently playing:

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition

Will play:

Dark Souls 3
Quantum Break (PC)
Injustice 2
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain (PS4) <--- This one is the last game I bought from KONAMI. And this was at the amazing price of 17.50 euros (with shipping fees) that will go to KONAMI. If Kojima was still there, I would pay the full price.

I enjoyed it. Had it's flaws sure but the music, the graphics, the combat and the exploration were cool.

I loved the game the soundtrack was one of the best I've ever seen the gameplay was fun and addictive once you get used to it a mix of Bayonetta's style of hack and slash plus some bullet hell section once you get used to it you'll love it. The story is what most people love the most about this game it is pretty good even If it's a little convoluted(what are the blindfolds for?).Overall it's a really good game but to answer your question no it's nothing like FFXV

 

[The Farmer]

Can't ....... stop...... playing...... ZELDA. I am so engrossed with this game right now, I fear I may miss out on I2 release. Not sure when I will ever be done. Game seems endless in terms of what you can do.

Awesome I'll definitely check it out!
Not FFXV exactly but just the Final Fantasy universe in general? It's not similar at all?
I loved Bayonetta

 

[Baconlord]

I'm just re playing dragon age inquisition until injustice 2 comes out

 

[KHTC Takgillo]

Completely different from the FFXV formula and universe story wise

 

[Ra Helios]

You ever play Fallout?

yep. I only played 106 hours of fallout 4 and never touched the DLC. why because that game put me to sleep. Even with mods the game can't really be saved for me to even play it.

How I play fallout 4 is this. If I die. I start over. fallout 4 is the type of game I have to immersive myself playing the game by not fast traveling and walking to take in the sights like I do in Skyrim. But I have a horse so I don't be walking that much in the game unless I am in the city.

I download my mods from the Nexusmods.com

playing fallout 4 on pc is a wayy better experience then playing it on the console.

 

[ShotgunInsanity]

I just got a ps4 and it came with Uncharted 4 (beaten, it's an awesome game) and I've been playing SFV and Bloodborne.

 

[MisguidedAngel]

RE7 probably in my top 10 games of all time.

FFXV, on the other hand, gave me leprosy.

Isn't that an overstatement I still think RE 4 was better tbh

Gamestop is a piece of shit, they sent me someone else's limited edition Nintendo switch and a game (didn't ask but it was probably zelda). I got ahold of who it was supposed to be sent to and it was a 40ish guy who was getting it for his kid.

well Takgillo pretty much covered it spot on, i was gonna say it was a cross between bayonetta style and that hack and slash metal game where you use raiden

In the last year:

Platinum on Just Cause 3 and 100% on the DLC: I have a lot of fun with the JC playstyle, just being able to travel around the island destroying whatever you want in the order you want with tons of options of how to approach it.

Platinum on Dragon Quest Heroes (1): Not a particularly challenging game, but enjoyable enough for fans of the DQ series. If it wasn't for Injustice 2 being right around the corner I would probably pick up DQH2 which just came out.

Platinum on Arkham Knight, plus a decent chunk of the DLC: Yeah, I just waited until all the DLC came out before picking up the game. I really had a lot of fun with it. Sure, there might have been a little too much tank-style gameplay, but overall I thought it was great. Plus, I have fun doing the challenge maps with the different characters.

Platinum on FFXV: I'm still doing some endgame stuff until Inj2. I'm Hunter Rank 8, need to hit 10, do the 8 dungeon Menace Beneath Lucis, Pitioss dungeon, need a few more recipes, lots more fish, to do NG+, finish the chocobo races (plus hidden upgrades), and, of course, killing an Angelus on at least normal mode.

The big difference in FFXV is how you play it. If you are someone that just plows through story mode as fast as possible to get through the game, then you might not bother since it won't be that meaningful. If you actually take time to play through and enjoy the game, get to know the characters, unlock a lot of the background and character interactions, then you are much more likely to find it worthwhile.
