What Are You Playing Now: Gaming Lives

[Malcador]

Got it done with Brno

Freaking barely too

[majestic]

Killed the Soldier's Past. Two down, two more to go in the quest to unlock the final level. Managed to unlock the Paradox too. I'm getting better I guess.

[Chilloutman]

Farming in Grim Dawn, now that finally got at least one char on 100 lvl. Also hate pirate stuff in games

[Mamoulian War]

After the Dragonrider, I went immediately to Huntsman Copse, and moved very carefully, so I would not get ass kicked as in NG+ I have learned few tricks during that humiliation, so this time, I was able to get to the Mist Gate without being killed The Skeletal Lords fight went almost the same way, very very cautiously, because I did not wanted to make pretty long corpse run. I forget, where is hidden the key to the locked Bonfire

I found this, boy did it feel weird to play this as a 9 year old:

Now let's see if it's available on gog.

 

Edit: wait...this is Quest for Glory 1? Haha...no idea why it's called 'Hero's Quest'. I searched a little and got 'HeroQuest' in the search results instead which is a Amiga game from 1991.

 

Woah...I seem to have purchased Quest for Glory Collection on Steam at some point. I am off...

The name was chaged because there already existed a board game called Hero Quest.

[MedicineDan]

I'm plugging away at Pathfinder:  Kingmaker as I can.  Great game.  The writers aren't all that great, but they have their moments.  Huge game.

[Hurlshort]

There is a VGA version of Quest for Glory. I assume your Steam collection should have it. Great game!

Yeah. That's the one. Good ol' childhood memories.

Which QFG had the Arabian Nights setting? (2 or 3 I think) That was my favorite one. 

As an aside, where are the Arabian Nights games? Since Prince of Persia we've had...

2.

 

It's the only one that's only available in the older style, officially; there's a fan project that did a VGA version of it.

[Chilloutman]

Grim Dawn is like meth mixed with heroin right now for me. I just found some weird item and I am instantly theory crafting my 10th character around it.... i need help

[Hurlshort]

QFG Breakdown:

QFG1 - Spielburg is a Medieval Hamlet in the mountains.

QFG2 - Arabian Nights Theme in the Desert

QFG3 - Sub-Saharan African Theme

QFG4 - Transylvania Theme

QFG5 - Greek? I don't know, it wasn't the same as the others.

[Mamoulian War]

The third boss in my NG2+ run was again Covetous Demon. Little bit more HP pool, but he did not give me much trouble   still no deaths up to this bossfight

 

 

[Theonlygarby]

Hey guys I got laid!

 

 

 

Just kidding, I've been playing skyrim.  I LOVE how everyone tells you their job very awkwardly.  "I'm the steward to blah blah it sure is a hard job". Generally I feel guilty be a psychopath in video games, but Skyrim is so lifeless I feel none.  Hurray

[StupidSeal]

Oh I feel so stupid

Amnesia: Rebirth. I played a few hours and so far I'm really enjoying it. Feels just like the first Amnesia, including a the character that can't stay in the dark for too long so plenty of staring at the light to reduce fear lol

Unlike what some people said, the main character does not talk all the time. But apparently people are refunding the game because she is a woman, has a French accent, is married to a muslim and

Spoiler

is pregnant

Go figure.

[Katphood]

Playing Medal of Honor: Warfighter SP campaign because I need my fix of shooting gallery goodness. I miss the old COD single player campaigns. Never was a big fan of the multiplayer.

 

@Keyrock

I agree. I really do want me a game with a neat Arabian Nights/1001 nights setting. 

 

The 2009 Prince of Persia reboot was pretty awesome actually, don't know why Ubi decided to make 'The Forgotten Sands' after that which took a u-turn and went back to the original series...or was that another reboot as well? Either way, it had nothing to do with the 2009 reboot which I highly recommend.

You mean she is not lgbtq+, disabled, body positive POC? And she didn't had abortion?! Wow. It's no wonder people are refunding this cisgendered, antiwomen, fascist, chauvinistic fantasy of a game. Thanks for warning.

Because the movie was coming out and they wanted to have a game to accompany it, ie. to cash in. I'm so salty about the whole Prince of Persia thing, kind of wish Ass Creed never came to be.

Bored of FM, won with Brno and plan was to go to different league and team but sadly no other team is free or wants to hire me Maybe will slog through another season of this - actually not sure if this is real but really hate the playoffs they make me go through.  Bad enough I have to face Viktoria, Slavia and Sparta twice in the season and avoid being destroyed even at home, but the fact I could play them all away in theory makes it far too frustrating (SI thinks home field advantage means the away team plays like utter crap ) .

 

But for now, switching to a new game, so will give this Brigador game a go

Go figure.

What's wrong with French accent? 

 

Also, poor Skarpen, living in the parallel universe where the majority of characters throughout all games are queer nonwhite disabled ladies after abortion or other such types that are considered "minorities" in our here universe; so deep and grievous is his tragedy that he bends the laws of existence itself to cross into the alternate world just for entertainment dominated by white perma-stubbled dudes in their thirties.  My thoughts and prayers are with this defiant rebel fighting against most horrible injustices in the distant, cruel world. 

 

[Mamoulian War]

The 4th one in the row was Mytha, the Baneful Queen. One of the more interesting encounters for me, though third time, there were no moves to surprise me 1st try again

But what you're truly missing is the ability to throw water bottles across the dressing room.

I clicked that expecting a link of Mourinho losing his cool....somehow the fact they are spending time on that is funnier.  Apparently they are trying to work in expected goals into the ME, maybe make it less random with shots 90 degrees (or in case, greater than 90 degrees...) off target, etc.
