Finished Tom Clancy's EndWar few days ago. Pretty cool game, but too short and you kind of do the same all the time (probably the reason for why it's so short).

Minecraft is the most obvious (and it's extremely simple to use, you only need a list about what can be crafted how and that's it). Or you go with one of these real lego games. I never played any of these, but if I remember correct, there are some where you can build real stuff (though, this might be old stuff by now).

Watched the latest Planet of the Apes movie, not as bad as I've expected. Though it has some bleh moments, like... they never kill anyone and stuff. But beside this, the movie was ok-ish and watchable.

While we are at piracy... Bought Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 from Steam when it was on sale lately and installed it now for a few hours (slow download speed in the moment). Then I wondered why the game won't start... so I googled the error code and found out, that it's because you need to install the Ubisoft Launcher to make it work... and you must be online all the time... and you shall not be able to uninstall the Ubisoft Launcher ever again. Result: I will never ever buy any Ubisoft games ever again. What the hell, man? But the worst - and what is making me angry - is that I haven't seen that when buying the game via Steam, else I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. God, I hate this crap so much. I didn't spend many euros on it, but it's still such a waste. And there aren't even any "patches" to fix this issue. So... Preventing people to pirate your games on the pc is to piss them off as much as possible? That's the only thing I see here in this case and nothing else.

So, who stopped playing already? :> I am tempting to uninstall the game to free up some space on my HDD. Since I took over my first town and joined the Stormdudes (and realized you can't resign from them), I totally lost the mood to play any further.

If you don't play on console, this is not working due to steam. :>

If it helps them to make better games, they can reuse the same assets for the next two games as well, imo. :>

Command & Conquer is dead for me since Red Alert 2. I can't even stand the name anymore, as I connect only ****ty new games with it by now.

Why not call it Fallout:FLV? It's Fabulous Las Vegas, after all. Maybe better is Fallout:WtFLV, to make it more complete.

Roleplaying tanks!

I can't identify with any of these. The Stormcloak dudes - or at least their "king" - seem to be ****, while the Legion dudes are **** too.. just remember the beginning of the game: "Hey, he is not on our list!" - "Who cares, kill him anyway!" If it would be me, I would kill them all. Just sad the game doesn't allow it.

You can't change stuff like that yet. Not until the construction set is released, as far as I know.

I don't think that I am able to finish the game. My initial impression of it was pretty good, but by now I have made so many lulzy quests with silly dialogue, that I just can't stand it anymore. If I must do yet another "go far away from your current location and bring some item"-quest, I will most likely go rampage in Skyrim. For me it's over since I became a barde with the barde questline... it felt just so unbelievable and stupid to me. Same with other quests from which most of them are sending me far away, always. Hey, Skyrim is pretty much the best Bethesda rpg that I've played in a while! ...But when it comes to quest design, it's just not kicking it for me.

Well, then I probably aren't far enough yet. I just know that I have done various quests, which had no influence on anything even though they should. Best example was some prison stuff with the Foresworn dudes. They run around in the city, kill everyone and nobody cares. The people who aren't involved into the fighting just act as if nothing happens, if I talk to anyone, nobody has anything to say about it, they don't even drop random lines about the events of this harsh city-slaughtering. On the other side- Damn, I helped these idiots, I got armor from them but in the wilderness they still attack me, they don't know me, everything like it was before. Btw.: I always love how much you throw around with examples to prove your point. Oh, wait...

This looks pretty cool: Oh, I am also posing for random romantic black metal cd cover: Often the gameworld looks really great, but then again you find places which seem to be empty, unfinished and up to Oblivion-quality. Also the gameworld is totally not reacting on your actions, this is so annoying to me as well. Some important shizzle happens, but the NPCs just don't care. Nobody cares. Man, compared to New Vegas, quest- and (NPC) interactivity-wise, Skyrim is extremely weak.

Beh, bought a house in Whiterun, because I've heard about some awesome bookshelf feature. But now I can't buy upgrades for the house. The dialogue option just doesn't show up. /Edit: Oh well, I just heard that you must talk to the dude when he is at the Kings place and not outside. The dialogue option doesn't show up then...

Does someone know how I find my companions again? Some quests are stripping you off of them and well... I have no clue where they are now. I miss an elf from Riverwood and some warrior woman from whatevertown. Walked around in Riverwood now for a while, but at least the elf is nowhere to be found.

I am extremely annoyed by the fact that nearly every quest is sending me far away from the quest origin. It feels like everyone in Skyrim can walk from left of the country to right of the country in one day and therefore everyone knows everything and everyone. I mean, how the **** can I do a drinking game in the bottom right corner of the map and after this, end up in a town in the top left corner of the map? It just makes no damn sense. Also other quests, which always send me to some place far outside the current town... it just sucks, is annoying as hell. It's such a Bethesda game. I mean, if I want to explore, then I explore. I don't need quests that send me over the whole worldmap, just so I can "accidentally" stumble over dungeons to explore.

But Bioware is canada, not america. :>

Huh, I didn't even heard about it being released now. Guess I won't be playing it anytime soon, though. I think I've deleted my old saves and I don't feel like starting all over again right now.

Well, I don't mean the setting (ship / police station). But they both are pretty much the same mechanics and I have done exactly the same in both, just that the dlc has been a few hours longer. In any case, I wonder what they will do for the next dlc. Stand alone again and stripping the player off of all his gear again?

This game needs more bloom.

That's probably why he has to go now. :>

Biggest problem, imo, is that he became too much a popstar. He should have remained more in the background. Now who wants to give him or openleaks-dude stuff for release anyway? They can't be trusted anymore, it became way too dangerous.
