What games are you playing currently?

I had originally planned on trying to at least get all of the Scrotus related stuff in Mad Max before I quit, but I've been getting kind of tired of it, so I decided to skip some of that stuff and finished up the story.
Now that that's done, I've decided to give Dishonored another go. I got it a few years ago, but got stuck before I got to the end, so I'm hoping to finish it this time.
I'm also still working on my replay of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and LEGO The Incredibles. The Incredibles is slow going since I'm only playing that with my mom. We did finish the first playthrough of the story, so now we're working on the open world stuff and the free play versions of the levels. We've been enjoying it so far, with LEGO games the Star Wars and Superhero games have pretty consistently been the best, and so far this one is not breaking that trend.

One that I am playing, you are playing, and that I just lost for the first time in what must have been a year or so.
 
I've been playing Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues... on my xbox 360 today and have unlocked five new achievements!

"Three times it drops!" (complete all Store Mode Levels in Skull 3 Hub)
"Do svidanya, Dr. Jones" (Destroy Indy with Spalko)
"Seeing communists in our soup." (Defeat 50 Russions with Mutt)
"You're a teacher?" "Part-time" (use Scholar access 10 times)
"Our situation has not improved." (Complete all Bonus Levels in Crusade Hub)
 
Sherlock Holmes vs Arsene Lupin - Nemesis

I have 5 more Sherlock Holmes games which I intend to start one-by-one after completing the above.

Mad Max is a fun game, but it's got odd pacing issues. The game gives you the impression that Gastown is end-game but then contradicts that by sending you there to get parts for the Magnum Opus fairly early on, as such one could be spending time completing most of the other missions before heading there and finding out there's actually a ton more stuff to do and unlock. I get the impression that the game was originally meant to be longer.
 
Played Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues... again today. Unlocked a bunch of achievements!

"What are you, like 80?" (complete all Bonus Levels in Skull 1 Hub)
"We're not grave robbers" (complete all Treasure Mode Levels in Skull 2 Hub)
"You're one crazy old man." (complete all Bonus Levels in Skull 2 Hub)
"You know how to fly, don't you?" (complete all plane races - single player only)
"What Are they? Spacemen?" (unlock the Interdimensional Being - single player only)
"They were archaeologists!" (complete all Treasure Mode Levels in Skull 3 Hub)
"Get on, Gramps!" (unlock all of the vehicles in the game - single player only)
"Now you're getting nasty." (unlock all of the enemies in the game - single player only)
"Obtainer of rare antiquities" (find all the Artifacts in the game - single player only)
"Into the space in-between spaces" (complete all Bonus Levels in Skull 3 Hub)

So, since first playing this game in November 2014, I've unlocked 35 out of 38 achievements.
 
That one's fun. Enjoying that
The only RE game I've played so far was RE5 which me and @Aragorn played in co-op.

So the other day I first decided to play the RE3 Remake demo which I enjoyed, but there's no way I'm paying $60 for such a short game (that isn't on my must-play list). So then I also played the RE2 Remake demo and I also enjoyed it. When I saw the full game was only $20 on the PSN store I decided to get it.

And yeah I'm really enjoying it. The atmosphere is really (and a bit creepy) and I'm enjoying exploring RPD and doing all the small puzzles. And the combat is alright as well. So yeah, I'm glad I got it.

It's the only RE game I have managed to sit with and not get bored with.
So far stuck near the beginning inside the police station....
 
I'm trying to kill as few people as possible in Dishonored and it's proving pretty challenging. I'm doing a lot of reloading from my last save after getting caught.

it's a bit difficult in the first game to not accidentally kill at least one person. IMO, it was easier to not kill in the second game playing with Emily. When I played Dishonored 2, I had a "no kill" game with Emily and concurrent to that a "kill every last thing that moves" game with Corvo. :lol:
 
Started Dying Light with 3 friends. Not much to the game when you dig deep into it but the game has got plenty of mindless fun to pass the time with your friends.

Yes indeed. Emily is a lot of fun to play if you want to go for a no kill game and I've tried that myself but right near the end it didn't last I found myself in a spot where it was unavoidable. Killed 2 people.

Have you seen the live action trailer for 2? Made me want a Dishonored movie.

Currently playing AC Syndicate on PC. Beautiful game, but the framerates! Setting Adaptive V-Synch in the Nvidia control panel helps a bit, but this game has a serious LOD issue that creates stutters which become apparent when using carriages, making the carriage races nearly impossible. Aside from that, when the game can be tamed, it's quite fun.

I gave up on Dishonored, even on easy I kept getting caught, and even when it came to fighting my way out, I was getting overwhelmed so quickly I didn't stand a chance.
I'm actually pretty good at stealth in the Assassin's Creed, and Batman: Arkham games, but I just can't do it in Dishonored. I think it's the first person perspective, it just makes it to hard to keep an eye on my surroundings.
I'm still in an FPS mood, so I think I might start a second play through of Far Cry 5 tomorrow.

I hate Far Cry 5 because of the random kidnappings, even when you are miles away from anyone they can happen and it's a fucking stupid bit of design
