What game are you wasting time on?

[Rabbid]

^ You should combine the two games you mentioned and play Xenonauts now. I don't see Psychogears being an option

Cosmonauica
A very light space game that's parts FTL and parts Startopia. It's OK, but it gets repetative real quick, the UI is crappy and there are some big bugs here and there. I really want to love this game, but I have some problems with it.

 

[DwarvenFood]

Too bad, sounds great.

I'm still playing FEAR, no idea how far into the game I am, just battled some flying drones that cost me most of my ammo.

Witcher 3 is my GOTY. Meaning it will probably take me until the end of the year to finish it. I am only level 15, having started the game shortly after release.

I have also started Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands to give my son more opportunity to watch 'the jumping man', but he does not like it as much as he did the 2008 version of PoP (mostly because there is no pretty lady in FS).

On the mobile front, Tales of Illyria: Beyond The Iron Wall turns out to be even better than the original and is great fun when sitting on the toilet at work.

The length od FEAR depends more on skill than on actual game length, the game is pretty short. Once you figure out that most situations are solved by run in, slow mo, shotgun you should go through the rest of the game quickly. Those drones can also be killed with a few shotgun blasts.

Finished today Might&Magic: World of Xeen. Boy, that was a ride... for treasures and adventures. Well, not much treasures when training eat all your gold.
No idea which was the highest level in my team because they were so overleveled and flatout broken (when you start the trainings) it's not even funny. Sure I could sleep for few days but went "nah" way.
Oh, and average age was...26? 28? People shouldn't be worried about this thing, really.
Some things didn't played well. Like sarcophagus in Norther Sphinx can't be opened despite 200 Str (based on the cluebook - you need 100 Str to open them).

What next? Either M&M3 Isles of Terra or M&M9. No, I'm not kidding. Even with fan patch 1.3 it still get gamebreaking bugs but that won't stop me from taking it.

But let's get a break and finally reach new city in ToEE that come with Circle of Eight - New Content 8.1.0 (no updates since last year so why not do it already).
I remember that I dropped the game after fight with Zuggtomy, probably because these Planes messed with me too much.

 

[Jasede]

Call me an idiot (I am, everyone knows this) but I had a -reasonable- amount of fun with the irredeemable pile of shit that is M&M 9. Good luck.

 

[Great Deceiver]

MM3 is awesome, no reason not to play it. Grab Taewoong's Dosbox build and play it with MT32 music if you can.

Finished NWN 2 MotB at long last. Started playing it a while back, but I put it off. I kinda agree with the KKK

on this one that, yes, it's got great story and characters. Unfortunately all of those are covered in tons of Aurora engine horseshit. My god that engine did not age gracefully. So many bugs and wonky controls. That camera is especially atrocious to use. I also had some bugs where after resting I would wake up with all my party member missing. It also crashed to desktop a couple of times. The effects and animations are also quite a pain to look at some times. Even more so when you're in a big ass battle with several high level wizards casting all sorts of colourful spells. Could hardly wait to get it over with it so I could uninstall this abomination.

Yes, good story still. Probably the best I've seen in a D&D game with the Faerun setting.

Did you kill the MegaDragon?

Did you kill the MegaDragon?

No.
Same with Barkman in the Temple of Bark. And didn't pay a visit in Dragon Cave (the one you go with magic mirror cheat for money) and Dungeon of Death.

What Darth Roxor said. Last time I played I didn't beat the MegaDragon, but the only other place I skipped fights was the penultimate dungeon with all the Energy Dragons and crap, because that is one annoying dungeon and I was just done with the game.

Currently playing Deus ex with GMDX Mod! What a superb mod!! Hats off to the creator in making the game so much fun and challenging.
Also started Silent Storm and Far cry 2 out, both are amazing games. I am waiting for the Gothc 2 Requiem mod to complete. Looks really promising.
I would like to know, if any one can suggest a mod for Gothic 2 that improves the magic system and makes playing Mage a lot better than the shitty vanilla one?

If you happen to know russian , there is a global mod called "returning". As far as I know it wasn't translated to any other language . It adds a lot of things , some of changes I find stupid , but others are very nice .

Gothic 3, Spam Fireball Edition.
Otherwise wait for G2 Requiem which improve gameplay and combat. Found no info about magic imrpovements though (except new spells).

Bullshit.
Gothic mods are popular in german caliphate, Potato and modrorusia, so you can always count on translated versions here.

Still playing New Vegas, beat it once and I started an immediate replay!:O Ignored this game 'til now and I'm sorry I did. It's not Fallout 1, no. But it's clearly insanely better than that blasphemous pile of excrement that was FO3.

I am currently also installing 'ASS BROTOCOLZ!' After this positive experience with New Vegas I'm thinking that one might be good too. Fingers crossed.:S

Alpha Protocol is a game I also replayed soon after beating. Might as well...

Yeah, it's better.

After hearing so much praise for okami, i decided to try to play it to see what the fuss is about.After playing for about 5 hours i just couldn't continue,this game makes dragon age 2 look interesting.

As much as people love bloodlines i find it extremely overrated except in the atmosphere/story department.

Dude, you are fucked in the head.

 

[flyingjohn]

Dude, you are fucked in the head.

I would gladly love to hear why do you think any of my points are wrong,instead of writing edgy generic one liners.
Both of the games have been heavily criticized in the game play department on the codex.

Still playing through Geneforge 2. Not a game i can spend a lot of time on in a single sitting, but slowly working through it and am enjoying it - thought not as much as Geneforge 1.

Also started playing Blood Omen Legacy of Kain, after finally getting it working thanks to http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/unofficial-patches-for-pc-games.90431/

Aaaand I've reinstalled Thief 1 and 2 and VTMB.

And have been playing some Mount and Blade Napoleonic Wars

I really need to focus on finishing one game at a time
