Games I have tried to play recently.
Fallout 2 - made it to Vault City, failed citizen exam, destroyed the mutant power plant and the lady kicks me out instead of giving me citizenship. I thought that was bullshit and I stopped playing. Contemplating whether I want to spend hours trying to find the loophole that lets me in the damn vault. Doesn't sound fun at all, yet in the back of mind there is an inkling to try. I just want to follow the main story without having to jump through too many hoops. I don't have the desire to spend hours on side quest, because I will never finish the game.
Anachronox - game looks terrible now days, and the controls are a little wonky, haven't given the game a fair chance yet. To be honest, I am not quite sure what this game is even trying to do yet.
Odium - Silly voice acting, but I love the atmosphere. It's like an isometric Resident Evil with simplified Silent Storm style tactical combat. Willing to play it again.
Silent Storm - I hate the rotating camera and the different level controls which you have to set manually. It is so distracting. I spend too much time trying to find the right angle and zoom so I can see what is going on. Otherwise, the game plays out like a simplified Jagged Alliance 2.
Titan Quest Immortal Thrones - I am trying to find a mod that makes this game interesting. The vanilla game is unbalanced and the skills are boring.
Oblivion - with FCOM + XP mod. Leveling up and choosing my stats is cool, but the game is still the same underneath. As soon as I figured that out I stopped playing. Made it to level 5.
Styrateg - No, after about 10 minutes of giving it a chance.
Fallout Tactics - I was all hyped up until I started the first mission. The art and lanscape is so boring, it makes the tactical battles boring. You basically have sand bags, buildings, and doors. Now apply tactics to that. Rinse and repeat in different combinations. Blah.
Thief Gold - I'm replaying this one as I have beat it before. Tried to play on most difficult. Doing well until the prison map. Can't find where the fuck the extra guy I'm supposed to bring is. Don't know if he got killed and the game is broken or what. Spent hours looking for him and gave up. Don't feel like restarting the mission for this.
Supreme Commander Forged Alliance - What a mess. I am not a fan of the more is better. Too much shit happening on the screen at once. Balance, or any sense of strategy gets thrown out the window because of all the shit happening at once.
F.E.A.R. 2 - Drags on like a motherfucker. Overuse of game assets makes the game feel artificially long.
Sacred 2 - Terrible graphics, story, and characters. There is level scaling which makes a game about becoming more powerful pointless.
Civilization 4 Colonization - Kept losing so I reluctantly went online to help with my strategy. Apparently building up my colonies to be self-sufficient is a no no. The answer is to collect as many resources as possible, convert them and sell them to Europe and then buy everything. Do not focus on constructing buildings, or teaching professions. Buy colonists, and weapons. That's it. The first time I did this I was doing amazing, but my save game got corrupted and I haven't touched the game since.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - Fucking invisible walls! Why do they have so many of them? They have them in places you don't even need them. I think it's more for the AI of the NPC's than it is for your player. I am not a real fan of Harry Potter, but they did a cool job recreating the world in 3d. Big huge school to run around in, if not slightly empty feeling. The potion making game is kinda fun. Stopped playing because it's a little too simplistic.
