What game are you wasting time on?

[Boyarpunk]

Still addicted to Unity of Command, but can't get even a decisive victory on the fourth scenario ("Don Offensives") in the Soviet campaign. Fucking pain in the ass smartypants AI

Playing custom campaigns for Operation Flashpoint: Almost ending Grunt one campaign, and now trying Too Young to die. Also, Castlevana PoR and OoE

 

[Crooked Bee]

Wizardry has never been this kawaii ^__^

Took me about an hour to roll up a party I'd be satisfied with. Now it's time to kick some monster ass.

1.) What is it?
2.) Is this your next LP?

 

[Erebus]

Playing as an Elf Mage. But I can't seem to beat golems so I might give up on it.

Get "Summon Ogre". Two ogres are enough to win almost any fight all by themselves.

1.) Generation XTH: Code Hazard, a sci-fi Japanese Wizardry-like, definitely one of the best Wizardry-likes I've played. The translation is currently in closed beta.

Spoiler

2.) No time for LPs

 

[Jaesun]

That seems to be very low in RAGE INDUCING ANIME SHIT...... Maybe when that translation is done I might give it a try.

 

[villain of the story]

As with everything, even JapAnime style looks pleasant when done with taste and in moderation.

 

[JudasIscariot]

I've bought Hearts of Iron 3 key for 3 potato units.
GOD DAMN, this game fucking sucks. How could they went so fucking downhill from HoI2? Unbelieveable.News at eleven, Wisła isn't flowing through Warsaw anymore, it's up to the north. Kiev isn't lying by Dnieper as well Non paradox game is perfect on that, but come the fuck on.
Already deleted, if I feel urge to play this kind of game, I will just install my HoI2.

Wat.

How do you mess THAT up? All it takes is one look at a bloody map or Google Earth...

As for myself, I am taking Dungeons of Dredmore for a spin. Fun game and real challenging for the first few levels (can't tell you how many times I died just on the first floor :D). My only "complaint". as it were, is that there's too much to do and I don't know what to focus on since it all seems sort of fun :D.

 

[agentorange]

Playing through Metro 2033 for the 2nd time, after finishing my 2nd run through Dishonored (pacifist, low chaos). Ranger Hardcore mode is neat, but I still wish there weren't so many enemy encounters; in the novel meeting any predator on your own, even a nosalis, was considered pretty much a death sentence, but in the game you are often fighting dozens of them at a time - which highlights another problem with the game, that is enemy and friendly npcs never run out of ammo, which takes something away from the motif of ammo scarcity they spend so much time on. Still love the game, and hope they don't fuck up Last Light.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Back to Planescape: Torment. Than Ghostdog for his mods!
Created a full melee character this time, STR, DEX and CON and i'm going to be chaotic evil as much as game allows!.Going to sell Dakkon probably as a slave

Deus Ex: Invisible War. Wonder when the game will pick up as the first 2 hours have been painful.

I got bad news for you son. It won't. Cut your losses and dump it like an ugly whore after you've sobered up.

But... but... I have to complete the Deus Ex -timeline.

 

[yes plz]

Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled for the DS and Exit Fate for the PC. Black Sigil would be a near perfect 16-bit JRPG if it weren't for the goddamn insanely high random encounter rate and clunky, awkward battle-system, though playing it on an emulator I'm able to turn on a 'No Random Encounters' code whenever I want, so I'm still enjoying it. Exit Fate, essentially a fan made Suikoden, I'm not too far into yet and outside of a somewhat dry script I can't really find any damaging faults or flaws with it. Somewhat ironic that these two are probably the only JRPGs in recent memory that I've enjoyed and yet were actually made by Western indie developers.

Now that my Gaming Computer is fixed, going to try and finish Under a Killing moon. I got as far as that base you could find eventually but got stuck there :/

I have a real problem sticking with a game lately, bought Wargame: European Escalation the other day, really like it, but can't bring myself to sit down behind my PC and play.

That Game Dev Tycoon drm topic reminded me I had Game Dev Story on my tablet, and I have been playing that, really addicting.

Playing Telltale's The Walking Dead. I think I am almost done with Chapter 1. I kind of like it and hate it at the same time. heh

Chapter 1 is by far the weakest - they massively reduce the quicktime elements, and the character development ties much more heavily into the game-affecting decisions. Sure, there's plenty of choices that only change flavour text, but they're balanced out by the fact that there's a lot more choices that count that aren't telegraphed like they are in the first game. There's still the occasional telegraphed 'major choice here: do you take option A or B' (sometimes with a hidden option C if you remain quiet, although you've got to use the 'say nothing' option sensibly and carefully as normally it just pisses people off), but there's a lot more 'unmarked' choices that flow from your general dialogue and actions with nothing but the logic of the situation to telegraph that they're going to change things down the track.

You mean the moon base? (or was it a space station?). If so you've played long enough through that it's worth finishing it from there. Admittedly, I had the most fun in the chapter 'A chameleon to one' - maybe that's because I'm a storyfag, and that chameleon bastard has been fucking your shit up since early in the game, where you don't really have the same investment in taking down the other villains.

System Shock 2.

Still fucking amazing. To me, that's golden era of gaming, mid-late 90's. Fuck your 80's shit.

I actually have to agree with this, even though the only console I ever owned was an Atari, and I've been gaming since the era of arcades, with Donkey Kong, Pacman and pinball machines.

I first got seriously into home computer games with Wizardry 1 and Ultima 2 (yes, I know it's universally held to suck, but at the time the idea of a large open world with ships, airplanes, rockets and timetravelling struck me as awesome). I cut my teeth on the blobbers of the 80s - Wizardry was my main series, but I also played a lot of Ultma and Bards Tale 1-3.

But my favourite era is still that which gave us SS2, Deus Ex, PS:T, BG2, Under a Killing Moon (ok that was a bit earlier, same with Azrael's Tear), The Longest Journey, Thief - it just seemed for a while that things were just going to keep getting better and better. If you told me in 1998 how bad AAA gaming would be like today, I don't think I'd have believed you.

 

[ohWOW]

Path of Exile.








IT'S FUCKING AMAZING

Oh FFS! I'm playing the wrong game heh. I already finished Under a Killing Moon and was confusing it with Pandora Directive (which I didn't finish). *slaps forehead* OK off to Pandora Directive....

It's a very poor game but it has a good narrative so if you're a fan of Deus Ex lore, it's worth playing the game.

 

[ohWOW]

Stealth is shit and an idiot friendly easy mode, combat is clunky and boring, level design sucks. But playing through it was quite fun. It's shit, but not as shit as other AAA+++ titles
