What game are you wasting time on?

[kazgar]

97.5% done on lego marvel super heroes. Might need to take a break before aiming for the stars. (and to stop raging at the flying races)

RAGE. SO MUCH RAGE.

One other part that annoyed me to no end - jumping off the Empire State Building to try to get the character token (Deadpool?) right at the bottom. I could NEVER align my drop properly.

JK2 continues to test my patience, but I keep going, because every now and then, it gets fucking awesome. A little while ago, I encountered the forced stealth garbage, and last night I completed a vehicle segment in one of those stupid stilt robot things. I don't know why, but some idiot decided that when you're in it, the camera should be third person and must function in a way so that you have a blind spot directly in front of you. You can aim down and up, but if you aim straight ahead, your view of what's in the crosshair is blocked by the vehicle itself.

Playing shitty games, went through Divinity 2, AssCreed Revelations, and starting a decent one in Giana Sisters. With Revelations you can really tell this is the point where the developers started focusing on being a production line rather than making a nice game world; less characters, not as much attention to vertical movement (less leaps of faith and quick routes up such as cranes/jump sequences), removal of classical media (paintings, music), could have done with more comments from your modern observers, and less diversions/side-quests/unlockables/et cetera. Heard the third one is completely shitty so probably wont ever bother with another one lest the newest one in france is actually good.

TL/DR if you're going to play any one AssCreed game play the second one and possibly its sequel Brotherhood.

Wizardry VII

Also, decided to finally play Phantasmagoria after picking it up at a thrift shop a few years ago.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Link isn't working.

I've been playing Terraria for the first time in 7 months. New content has been added, but I find myself slamming repeatedely into the game's biggest flaw: Lack of documentation. I am not supposed to have to look up a wiki page time and time again just to know what I'm doing wrong in crafting a piece of furniture. The in-game Guide is just as useless as before. consulting him is like trying to read a manual currently located on Mars. Also, with more potions being added to the game, it would be REALLY awesome to be able to "reverse-engineer" a potion to know how to make more of them...at least the ones that are useful, as many of the new potions have very little use.

I did that one a few times, i found most of the jumping tasks easier if you used one of the large characters (hulk/thing/etc) as they seem to have a bigger radius to grab items in.

Flying races now seem easier easier with silver surfer.

 

[tindrli]

just found an mega mortality roguelike called Rogue's Tale

I never even managed to complete the first race against the Silver Surfer, even though it's just a lap around the Helicarrier. :-/

One other point about the game I noticed was how kid-friendly it was, and yet they have The Punisher in there. I couldn't help but smile as his presence in-game is all "GRR! GRR!" about traffic violators.

Try thor, seemed to be responsive enough for me (iron man was too quick for the turns)

got to 100% last night, and all the steam achievements, so uninstalled and moving on.

Punisher was funny, as was blade and ghost rider, bunch of good in-jokes

Blackguards. I had to re-roll my character. it was a combination of a bug and me not putting points in the right areas. The bug was that the healer in the arena would speak with me but there was no options to heal your wounds. My characters weren't well developed with their skills and so on, so for the final battle, I had 3 wounds on almost everyone. Restarted the games, and trying to make more focused character roles. I'm also not going to bother with most of the damage spells. Only Zurbaran will get to learn those. I'll probably teach my character the fireball for emergency situations. Made it a bit into chapter 1 with this new setup. Let's see how long I last this time.

Anno 2070
Well it is set in the future, but it is still a Anno game, making production chains, getting your pesants workers to upgrade into nobleman tycoons. Im still in the tutorial/campaign missions and its fun, so far FATHER has just gone haywire and i need to find a way to deal with him and there is a fish shortage. I really like that it feels that everyone is one step ahead of me and i constantly need to hurry up to get to their level. Also there are two factions now that have different needs for upgrading their citizens, the company(liquor drinking, casino going, hamburger eating) and the ecos(tea sipping, concert sleeping, vegetarians).
The bad thing i had to lower most of the graphic setting to make it playable, but it still looks decent for a anno game.

Exodus from the Earth

So I bough some random game from Steam (2€, could spend it on some bundles but screw them) and what I got is B class game.
Audio is bad - horrible voiceacting and strange sound working (you need to point one of your ear to the NPC, otherwise you hear nothing). And music - during exploration you hear some chants/prays/lectures and battle music is some ska punk. Wat.
Good thing about graphic - it's clean. No shitty lighting, bloom, HDR or SFAA, SRATATATA, MSAA or other effects that I don't remember and hate your eyes.
Story is B class again - ITZ happening soon and someone big fish want to watchc the world burn to rule the world and get money. Or get as much as he can and flee before ITZ happen. Smell like Bob Page bis.

Also Van Hellsigh is the first h'n's since long ago, that didn't bored me to tears. Last time I enjoyed in DungSiege Throne of Agony during testint PSP so heluva long time.
Skills feel like it's game made for fun instead cold calculations for multiplayer builds.

 

[MicoSelva]

I started playing Spec Ops: The Line yesterday.

It is terryfying that the gameplay of this is 1:1 the action part of Mass Effect 3 (with the magical sci-fi powers ripped out), and ME3 still passes as an 'RPG'.

 

[Minttunator]

I've been playing King's Bounty: Crossworlds. I really enjoyed KB: The Legend a few years ago, but since the sequel is so similar and these games aren't exactly short, I had to take a break from the series for a while to avoid burn-out.

I'm having fun thus far, but I'm not sure I'll ever get around to playing Warriors of the North if it's more of the same, to be honest - I understand not fixing what isn't broken, but two 60+ hour games using the exact same engine and game mechanics really ought to be enough.

Finished Shadowrun Returns for the first time. Although it didn't blow my head off, I enjoyed it, liked the soundtrack and the visual style. A RPG mechanics were a bit too simplistic, but were OK for the first try. I heared that the sequel, Dragonfall is even better, so I'm looking forward to playing it.

Yup, bro, it is really better, so if you enjoyed the DMS you certainly will love Dragonfall.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Started playing Tropico 1.

2nd election, my hardworking compulsive gambler elected-capitalist miner womanizer presidente gets voted out of office.

Fuck, I suck at this game

 

[Humppaleka]

Blackwell Legacy just finished. Absolutely charming, going to dive into Unbound immediately.

I remember playing it, and even managed to finish it. It's basically a russian Red Faction-wannabe. The voice acting was horrible indeed, like I was playing some old Half Life mod .

 

[mondblut]

CK2, HoI3, Vicky2, Patrician4, Port Royale3, Rise of Venice, FM2010... basically, all games which can play themselves after a little planning and tinkering. The older I get, the more attractive a hands-off approach to gaming becomes

Theme Hospital. $$$ is the best medicine.

DW universe

 

[Gurkog]

Tried out Blizzard's Hearthstone card game.

Pay-to-win bullshit as expected, but is entertaining when bored to death. Never going to spend any money on it though.

 

[Raghar]

I'm playing dark souls for first time without looking at tutorials and videos. So far I survived Blight town. (Blight town the place when you become poisoned to avoid venom.)
