What game are you wasting time on?

I have wasted four hours on A Machine for Pigs. It's compared to The Dark Descent and fails on many levels (the monsters are not scary, it's very short, mental sanity was removed, unlimited lantern and it's very linear) but it's still a pleasant experience just for the great atmosphere (if you forget the monsters, that is) and the gorgeous visuals.

 

I finally started playing Expeditions: Conquistador after buying it a month ago. I'm really enjoying it. Clocked 8 hours today.

 

The major changes was the characters. In Rayman 2 they talk gibberish, and in Rayman 3 they talk douchebaggerish. Music was not that good either.

 

Realms of Arkania HD.

Also Enslaved for Xbox, but I honestly don't think I can stomach another minute of it and I'm not even at episode two yet.

 

I just started a new playthrough of that a few days ago!
It's really very good - and I'd say it's not as intimidating/scary/difficult as one might imagine.

 

So it's in a playable state by now?

 

Depends on your own definition of playable, I suppose. There are a lot of bugs still, but other than that you can play the game through ostensibly to its end.

 

I've played for about 2 hours and it's good so far. It's scary but definitively not as much as I expected.

 

Thanks, bro. I think I'll give it a few more months before reinstalling - it's good to see that they're actually fixing it, though.

 

Those are all solid points. I had a bunch of fun with Risen as well, but it did have some shortcomings, like you said.

Personally, I felt the island could've been a bit bigger (a few more settlements would've been nice), the physics bugs were annoying (those might be patched by now, though) and the dungeon crawling got tedious near the end. I also agree that the second half of the game is definitely weaker. In general, front-loading content is an issue in most modern games - and it sort of makes sense, since apparently most gamers don't finish games nowadays.

 

Finishing Divinity 2: Flames of Vengeance slowly.
Installed Pharaoh and playing through the campaign slowly.
Installed the Colonization remake along with The Authentic Colonization mod, gonna play it sometime.
Wanna fire up DoomRL again but completely forgot the proper way to level up.

 

Started playing Blood Bowl for the first time. Doing story mode first to learn how it works. It is pretty fun when random shit happens, even when it hurts my team.

 

Brutal Legend, probably 1/3 the way through? (next main mission is the battle in the round dome after knocking the first gate down) And i'm wishing there was a way to have the tracks playing without being in the car otherwise i just want to drive around listening to Metal and not actually continue the game part (doubly when the RTS type parts have shitty controls with kb+mouse)

 

Playing Duke Nukem 3D with xDuke because I'm too retarded to make it run properly in VESA mode and midi music with DOSBOX apparently. Colors all screwed up in fullscreen courtesy of Windows 7.

 

Tried playing some Outlast, but it's just shitty jump-scares so far. There's no atmosphere at all, the "evil asylum" setting is completely phoned in - am I really supposed to be impressed by things written in blood on walls every room? Or 100 corpses on the floor? Economy goes a long way with horror, this has absolutely nothing going for it.

 

Remember that you said that when you get to X-18

 

Blood Bowl is kicking my ass... I fail at strategy and tactics. Guess it will take a while to increase aptitude.

Tried Saint's Row 3.
Give up after 2-3h. Boring, uninteresing and forcing to be awsum like Bulletstorm that I beat yesterday.
Same to Saint's Row 2 (which was also uttery ugly and screwed, choking console port, lot worse than Dark Souls, which lay untouched after second boss).

Went back to Just Cause 2 an it's still kick ass.
Especially with some combination like "long hook line mod" + "remove parachute and fly like pseudosuperman" and all that with music from your player.

 

Playing Yakuza 5 atm, the first game that make me compelled to complete everything, those mini-games are just so much fun

 

Finished Deus Ex Invisible War... I think it's literally the worst, most poorly made video game I have ever enjoyed. Blah.

I literally have no idea what to play next... been doing a couple Thief missions and random quests in TES games, just treading water and waiting for motivation.

 

Now afraid to continue playing...

 

Isn't the game awesome!

Finally starting to win Blood Bowl single player campaign matches. Sometimes I think the RNG is a cheating bastard.

 

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness.

It's okay so far besides the fact I feel I'm playing Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner: Hector Dudebro vs the Endless Fucking Corridors. While I didn't think too highly of Lament of Innocence's level design, it looks positively stellar compared to this game.

 

Playing Drox Operative again, because I got a copy of the upcoming expansion to preview. Not sure if I'm under NDA for this, but whatever. So far I've had to start a new character because I don't have my old one, but the game is as addictive and fun as ever, even if mechanically it is kinda broken and there are a lot of silly exploits with diplomacy (not to mention I still don't quite like the victory conditions). No thoughts on the new content yet except for the new race selection I got when making my ship, I have yet to bump into them.

Still from what I have seen, the biggest changes are the result of successive patches since I last played, not so much the expansion content itself - maybe it only appears at higher levels or something. But that said, reading the list of changes in the expansion, they are very much enhancements and additions that fit naturally into the game, and not hey look this is new!!11
