What Game Are You Playing Right Now?

You would think by the artwork its some silly platform game but nope, its a tactical rpg shooter.

the dynamics of the game revolve around using your squad like you are a SWAT member and monsters have to be in your field of vision or else they don't appear in the map.

this means you need to watch where you place your members cause you're never OP in this game and you can always get ambushed at any moment.

i breezed through FF tactics and Ogre tactics but this game is more challenging than both of them.

Dude, **** that game. Who here remembers Oger Battle, for SNES? Now that was a ****ing tactical RPG.

Thanks to the ongoing series on Game Grumps, I am playing Pokemon Snap right now. Took a while to figure out the emulation settings (was going super fast) but it was worth it. Used to love this game.

I do feel sorry for their perpetual state of groundhog, though.

Me and the VOWEL man locked up in a game of chess via email.

Don't forget about the secret pokemons.

This game is awesome. Professor Oak's ratings are always so random but its hilarious.

GTA 5, PC version.
I don't know where to begin the praise for this game. Perhaps the biggest shock is not the quality of the story or how rich the world is (I expected nothing less after gta 4) but how good the game runs on my now almost 5 years old pc. i7 2600, 8gigs of ram, gtx 660 and I get a stable 50+ fps 1600x1080 and med/high details.

If it wasn't for Saints Row I would probably have been all over that game. But GTA IV was such a disappointment for me (storyline that got old after you beat the game once, boring city, no more giant sandbox world), and then SR became my go to GTA replacement. I'm sure if I ever got into GTA V I'd still love it, but I've just played so much, so ****ing much SR III and IV that I can't bring myself to shell out $40-$50 on a game whose gameplay I've pretty much exhausting ten times over at this point.

I keep thinking I should get it but the price just turns me away. I already know its a great game because i've seen a playthrough of it. I would like to test out my PC with it though so perhaps i'll get it with my next paycheck.

Been playing the crap out of Heroes of the Storm. Really fun and engaging and easy to get into moba.

I just got GTA5 for PC yesterday, which I will use just for the sandbox.
