What game are you wasting time on?

Done with EYE. What a bloody insane game, might be the most fun thing I've played released in the last year. Not sure if I can be bothered going for the true ending yet, but maybe with the upcoming major update.

Which class did you take?

Konjad, Anus_Pounder and I had a broop session a while ago. Didn't understand shit from the story, though.

Fighter-mage-thief

Or "warrior-psyker" according to the game. Spent half my playtime just running Mars missions over and over with respawn on insane, so I could afford to branch out. Ended up mostly focusing on medium armour, clone/general psi abuse and precision shooting with bearkiller/targeting/night vision. I'd be up for any future coop sessions.

BEAR-KILLER PSI-OPS


game sounds awesome

I'd be up for playing with you.

Finished playing Legend of Kyrandia 2. I guess I should have played LoK 1 first, but to be quite honest, having a smexy alchemist lady as a main character was more appealing to me than having the rightful heir of Whateveristan.

I had a really good time ! The game's easier than the average adventure game from the 90s, which I found rather relieving. Zanthia's a nice heroine, the places she visits and the creatures she encounters are quite imaginative, the plot has several funny twists and there are many entertaining situations.

LoK 2 is much better than LoK 1.

Also, LoK 3 is excellent, one of my favorite adventure games ever and very underrated. If you haven't played it, do yourself a favor and do so.

Bought Saints Row 3 a couple of days ago on a gamersgate sale.

Pretty fun actually, feels like there was more content in the second one tough.

Soldat.

Riise of Flight. It's an amazing WWI flight simulator, dogfighting is loads of fun. And it's free!

After taking a break at the end of BG1, the party is in full swing in BG2. Much as I enjoyed BG1's low-level adventuring style, it quickly boiled down to a rather uninteresting game about wiping giant foresty blackboards clean to find the one rudimentary quest encounter per wilderness area. BG2, on the other hand... it was my first CRPG, and has still never really been something that's clicked with me. Just don't like the combat. But something about it has really shone this time through. Anders has heroically slain the Demogorgon, and we proceed to our final reckoning with Irenicus. Is ToB good? Probably going to play it regardless at this point, but I'd like to know if I'm in for a disappointment.

Command Ops: Battles from the Bulge.

It's even more combat oriented, I had fun with it and it felt extremely polished. Are you using tactical mods? If combat feels easy some of those are great.

Mount and Blade : TLD

I beat the shit out of Saruman's armies but Theoden refuses to besiege his outposts. So fuck Rohan, imma gonna go help Mirkwood.

Lionheart. I'm liking my annual replay session with Black Isle's classic.

Crusader Kings II. It's more fun than I thought, although it's a real time eater. I decided just to start as the King of Scotland from the tutorial. Succession crises are really tough, especially when the king became really old. Once, it ended up with some doom stacks from England crushing my demesne. This last time, the result was a bit more surprising to me: The new king seems to be well liked, and the war ended with one county more in the Kingdom than before (no idea how that happened). I'm not sure I should have drawn it out that much.

Anyway, it won't get boring. One other noble managed to get two duchies and a few counties therein, on both sides of my current king's demesne. Plus, there's one other duke in Ireland with several counties, plus probably a de jure claim to another duchy. It will probably all crumble soon. And I wonder why England hasn't tried anything yet.

Update: Still AIX 2.0 (SP) after all this time, although less regularly. Otherwise, most recently Legend of Grimrock although it got old pretty quick and some Torchlight every now and then (although Torchlight replayability is pretty nonexistent I must admit). Other than that you can throw in occasional rounds of C&C: Tiberian Sun and Close Combat III to scratch that "strategery" itch. Wanting to continue playing my D2 save now after all this D3 nonsense lately, but I keep remembering how boring Diablo games really are no matter what roman numeral is after the title. CoD of its genre really. Looking for Wiz8 copy on ebay rite now...

Average Steve has transcended averageness and now sits atop the Throne of Bhaal. For all its flaws, the saga was a pretty good adventure with a real sense of progression from level 1 shitheel to a genuine force of power, with encounter design and party customisation that nearly transcends the confusing and occasionally shitty combat system probably won't touch BG again, but I'm glad I've finally played through the whole thing after a rocky relationship with BG2. Feel I owed it to my first ever CRPG.

Need something dumb and viscerally gratifying to sate my lust now, though. Looking at a timesink open-world game - Precurors, Just Cause 2, Saints Row 3 and The Saboteur are the shortlist. Thoughts?

Never played Precursors (though ah intend to), got bored of Just Cause 2 within a few hours (some people love it) due to every activity in the game feeling so pathetically shallow, Saints Row 3 is excellent but much shorter (and less varied) than SR2 and the heavy DLC content is pretty bland (wait for goty edition if you haven't already bought it), Saboteur is a very fun open-world terrorist simulator with popamole sandbox stealth mechanics.

Armored Brigade.

Abandoned Dark Heart of Uukrul due to severe fuckup.



Started Shadow Hearts 1




p. codexian adventure...

Spent a few hours in Puzzle Kingdoms, simple game but really a fucking time sinker. But those bonus puzzles suck IMO.
Also rolling a bit of Torchlight on hard, and its not that hard. My kitty kicks ass.
