What game are you wasting time on?

[JudasIscariot]

Fired up Ultima Underworld for the first time ever

Already found a route to level 3 but got my ass kicked and dragged my bleeding orifice back to upper levels to get some xp first

Wow, I am seriously jealous that you get to experience UW1 for the first time. Enjoy this masterpiece

 

[Darth Roxor]

It would have been a much more masterly masterpiece if its second half wasn't so terribru.

Anyone playing Warhammer 40,000: Storm of Vengeance ? Impressions ?

 

[DwarvenFood]

Playing King's Bounty the Legend, played the shit out of the original 1990's one

So, how far did you get, did you ever find the treasure ? How much of the puzzle did you have, and what is the winning combination - I always thought ghosts (was it ghosts.. they keep adding up, while you kill enemies) were pretty sweet, although they can drain your treasure pretty quick if allowed to grow to big numbers. It was fun owning castles, but there are just nog enough turns in total to properly secure all continents in my opinion. Great game, and I also enjoyed the new version of it. Haven't tried the AP one or the Crossroads one though.

I finished it a bunch of times and got the treasure, was some overpowered things you could do from memory to help get through the battles. Finding the new one bloody long and a little grindy, should probably mess around with my army to give myself some variety in abilities else it gets all a bit by rote.

I can't get away from Dragon's Dogma: DA. I'm tying my arm off now, oh god help me.

I'm playing the Legend of Queen Opala 2 and Rance 4 whenever I have a little time to play lighter RPGs that don't require much attention, as they are require some grinding to advance. Honestly, though, I play them so little and advance so slowly that I do not even mention them on my play list right now. Same for Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, which I'm not really sure I like enough to finish just yet. Seems silly to say since I liked FFT so much.

When I can sit down and seriously play, I have been focused on Heroine's Quest, playing a rogue with the capability of casting magic. I've explored the majority of the map and have been building up my skills in game. Right now there is a boy that requires saving as he has been attacked by a troll. I am enjoying the game so far, and chose to play it since I wanted to try the best games that 2013 had to offer so I feel better about voting here: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/rpgs-in-2013.88730/

Out of the 2013 list, I've played Paper Sorcerer, Shadowrun Returns, Sword of the Stars: The Pit, and Driftmoon. Out of these, I enjoyed Paper Sorcerer the most, but Heroine's Quest may give it a run for its money. After this I plan to give Expeditions: Conquistador a try before voting on what I feel is the best of 2013. The other games on the list do not interest me as much.

The second game I am focused on is the beta version of the new Madman by DrDungeon . I've been a rat bastard, since I've found some exploits I took advantage of that he's been fixing. Unfortunately for everyone else, that means they'll be playing a harder version of the game I'm trying. The game definitely has an old school feel to it. I've been too busy this week with work to continue it, but I plan to dig in more heavily this week now that some of my work schedule is calming down.

Playing GTA IV, I hated the game when it first came out because it was kinda too serious compared to San Andreas but I was watching a few episodes of an LP and kinda enjoyed it so played it. I really hate the last mission. I replayed it 9 times so far and I either fail at jumping with the bike most times to grab the helicopter or sink the helicopter.

Same thing with San Andreas and 3's last missions where you massacre an army and end up in a chase or whatever. Vice City was good IIRC where it was the other way around, Diaz was the one who came to kill you in your mansion. Might replay VC and SA after Liberty City.

So I'm watching this video of um... Banished, some new citybuilder and suddenly I start thinking of orchards and some rts or citybuilder that let you build them and you just left them on autopilot and they made you cash or food or whatever resource. So I'm thinking ORCHARDS YAY and install AoE 3 again because I can't remember what game had orchards other than AoE 3 - except it doesn't actually have orchards that work that way, and not in the campaign either.

Sooo... what game had orchards that made you money?

 

[Minttunator]

Not sure, but maybe you're thinking of either Stronghold or Zeus?

 

[RedScum]

Faster Than Light: Trying out the new free expansion, good game with more content now!

Warlock - Master of the Arcane: Had it for a long time in my steam inventory but never really played it, guess i wanted to try it now when Warlock 2 and Age of Wonders 3 got/will get released.

Mount & Blade Warband: Playing with the 1257AD mod a little bit with my Native Expansion campaign on hold. Plunder & pillage!

Oh and also Dota 2 with mates.

GTA finales are always the worst examples of ramping shit up to massively annoying levels rather than fun.

Just crossed a load of games off my "need to finish" list, feels good to chip away at the pile of shame. I completed Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall and the Bioshock Infinite DLC.

Bioshock Infinite was mostly terrible, especially the story and the "SHOOT EVERYTHING DURRR" gameplay, but the graphics, presentation and polish were nice.

Dragonfall had an interesting ending scene, I hope they make another campaign with more emphasis on C&Cs and ways to avoid combat.

Got more games to get through so I can uninstall them, Assassin's Creed Liberation (I'm about 75% of my way through it) and the Dishonored DLC.

 

[dunno lah]

Coming back to NFS after donkeys years. Damn NFS4 nerfed Diablo SV like shit. Can't even steer the car in rainy conditions and now I've lost my car in a High Stakes race.

Trying to get into Divinity 2 after abandoning with only two hours played a year or so ago. I enjoy Larian's writing but oh God... the Gamebryo engine. Combat is atrocious. Everything is floaty, nothing has impact. The talents are pretty ass, too.

Just jumpwhack everything man, speeds stuff up.

Le Saboteur. Erm I mean Ze Saboteur. Erm, The Saboteur.

Wow. There sure are a lot of tits in this game. I meant to play this long ago and finally got around to installing it. For a game about sabotage, there sure is a lot of driving in this bitch. With some really horrible mechanics and controls. Why does a female nazi something run around with a corsette and a push-up bra?

Does this game have anything noteworthy, because the gameplay mechanics are straight out of shitvillage, along with the story. And dat black and white filter LULUL WUT? Why wasn't the person responsible for that idea not immediately fired?

Anyone playing Warhammer 40,000: Storm of Vengeance ? Impressions ?

So there is no-one at all that tried this one out ? Looks like some form of Plants and Zombies type of game.

It's a bitch, yeah. Just ignore the NPCs instructions, they are like GOGOGOGOGO but you have to do it at the right time.

Also replaying C&C Tiberium Wars, and I guess trying to play through it again because Saboteur is bad. Nod of course because are you kidding me TRICIA HELFER. But I completely forgot the utter lack of level design and attention to detail. And a tactic called - press this button repeatedly to swarm the opposition with disposable mass of forces. Am tempted to reinstall Tiberian Sun instead.

Hmm, think I saw a gameplay video of it and it had nothing to do with Warhammer except units looked roughly like they were pulled from it. Stupid mobile game as I recall.



Best. Licence. Evar.
