What are you playing now?

[boldarblood]

I am sad, my recent replay of Icewind Dale 2 has ended in frustration. Playing game with no mods, cheats installed. Game and latest official patch's. Crash to desktop entering Kulahar. I was really looking forward to keep playing (I have re-started a bunch of times in past but usually always got up to the Ice Castle and quit playing). I may try to b/u all the characters and try to reinstall.

 

Otherwise I may try to frustrate myself again and give Ultima 9 a second chance (uninstalled years ago after first getting it due to my machine couldn't handle the game. Found my disks recently, including the patched version they mailed me out later). Is it worth it to give it another run through? I am definitely not expecting anything like theyre earlier gems, but something to tide me over until some newer games come out (Witcher, NWN2, Gothic 3, Oblivion, etc).

I found Ultima 9 in a bargain bin about a year ago, and with today's machines the game runs smooth as silk. If you're not a hardcore Ultima fan, then the game is a decent RPG with heavy action adventure influences. If you expect a pure Ultima you will be disappointed.

Just started and finished playing Max Payne 2. Think I spend more time on reloading than actually playing. Unlocked some new game modes, but why would I play it again...it's totally the same story, isn't it?

To add to the previous titles, I'm also playing:

 

 

For the SNES:

 

Lufia 2 - Rise of the Sinistrals (started several times but quit; trying to finish it)

Yoshi's Island

 

 

For the Gameboy Advance:

 

Rebelstar (hot damn, X-Com gameplay! not as scary though)

Gunstar Super Heroes (bit disapointing, claimed to be a sequel but it's just a rehash of the original)

I played that one when it first came out. Seemed to me more of an action adventure than an Ultima game at the time.

[Gabrielle]

Well it's an action game where you run around slicing nazi's up as a half vampire

 

Definately fun

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Some how I must have missed this vampire game and I make it a point to buy the good vampire games out there. Sounds like fun.

WoW 10 Day Free Trial.

 

I've played pretty much all history's other major MMORPGs (it's easier to simply say I haven't played Shadowbane or the Lineage games, as I've played essentially everything else), so it's pretty absurd I haven't played WoW yet. But I got the impression that despite its quality, it was in many ways precisely what I didn't want in an MMORPG with regard to its particular design goals. And this is to an extent true in practice. Though I'll grant it's an extremely slick execution, for what it is.

 

I'm waffling between playing WoW and continuing on with AC1 at the moment, in which I also currently have an active subscription. Or, could go back to DAOC and bother to go through with the endgame PvE that has come about since I quit in the wake of ToA (as many others did)

Go with Ultima 7+Serpent Isle or Ultima Underworld 1&2 instead..

If you complete it at the hardest difficulty you get a different ending.

I am playing Ridge Racer on my PSP now. Visuals are gorgeous and drifting is fun. I am addicted.

From a noir story to a rouge story perhaps?

[Musopticon?]

^A good guess that one.

 

Go and play it.

[ShadowPaladin V1.0]

Lets see I've got to at least take a look at oddworld since it's due back tomorrow.

[hysrix]

I'm playing Silent Hill 4: The Room. :D

 

I love "scary" games. I recently finished Resident Evil 4 which was just awesome.

Three badges in Pokemon Sapphire.

Definitely not expecting any of the old Ultima's. I may have to fire it up and give it another chance, just more looking for a game to kill a bit of time with. Not looking for an "epic" adventure or anything. Thanks for the info.

[Darque]

Just beat Death by Degrees

 

That game had the best fight of any game I've ever played and the best endboss battle of any game I've ever played :D

[kirottu]

Civilization 4

Is that the one with the character from Tekken ?

[Musopticon?]

Nina Williams, yes.

[WITHTEETH]

I just beat FarCry. It was so so, the graohics were definatly gorgous.

[Musopticon?]

I'm still stuck at that ancient underground temple full of trigs. So far; I haven't ventured in but a few times because of my deep-seeded hate for the save points being so few and far between. Not to mention the trigens being so annoying foes, I'd rather fight humans. Outside.

Yea, the trigens are a bit annoying. They look just like the doom hellspawns, and act like them too. They need to make bikini women the enemy! What a great idea!!!!! You can use a sniper gun and watch form a distance as they lather each other up! (w00t) (w00t)

Have you ever played No One Lives forever 1 or 2? Those gams are great! Out of all the first person shooters I have ever played, i have enjoyed those the most. NOLF2 still would look awesome on the computer since when it first came out system requirements were through the roof. I recommend this game to anyone who likes first person shooters.

I played the demo and, yes, it was rather fun. I especially liked the spy parody themes and the main character was...refreshing. However, I haven't managed to find a copy from anywhere. A shame.
