What are you playing now?

Alice

 

I have been playing that recently as well. Fun game for the most part.

[Musopticon?]

I bought Dark Messiah for 15 euros.

 

Somehow, when I leap over soaking wet rooftops of a nightly city, slowly being twisted into a 80's swords and sorcery pulp plot, I wonder why I didn't do that earlier. Way WAY earlier.

I bought Dark Messiah for 15 euros.

 

I bought Civ IV for ten euros from Germany

 

In Finland it still costs about 40 euros

 

So...haha!

[Musopticon?]

I bought it for twenty from Anttila, like a year and half ago.

 

So there!

[Tale]

I love Dark Messiah.

[Pidesco]

Dark Messiah really deserved a lot more love that it got. Melee combat was awesome fun, even if the level design was a bit crap.

[Musopticon?]

This game is awesome. How I managed to miss it before is beyond me.

So there!

 

AND I got cool, old time huge cardboard box with it!

 

So there!

[Musopticon?]

It's only sold in those boxes, dimwit!

[Xard]

no no no, it was bigger

 

Redneck!

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

 

While the gameplay seems to be standard PoP fare, which I enjoy a great deal, the soundtrack is starting to get on my nerves (after 15 minutes of listening to it). It's generic rock crap. In an ancient middle eastern fantasy setting. Why the hell?

Fallout 2 with the restoration project. Playing Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 back to back, I must say that I feel the quality gap is larger than ever. I feel Fallout 1 is a lot tighter overall, and has many moments that are just pure brilliance and which can affect me in great ways to this day. Fallout 2 is a lot more "bumpy" and a lot more annoying in many ways. Fallout 1 had one place where I felt the combat was mistreated and that was Adytum (with that huge battle, takes forever). Fallout 2 has plenty of random encounters with a lot of foes, which really brings out the bad things about the combat system. Never thought about this before actually.

The whole continuity is also quite shafted in some places.

 

Still, it's no doubt a good game and a very nice RPG.

The restoration project increases random encounters x150% if not more, I had to uninstall it, not a representation of the shipped game. I have really struggled to finish Fallout 2, I ripped right through FO1.

[Starwars]

I know, I've tweaked the encounter rate myself in the past. But the latest version of the Project don't seem to have changed the encounter rate to silly levels, not sure if Killap modified that. Or maybe the new version just don't modify the worldmap file. Either way, the rate of the encounters if fine by me now. It's the content of many of the combat encounters that bother me.

[Dark_Raven]

Yeah the random encounters became too much. I like them to a point because the Exp's and the phat l00t you get, but come on now.

[Deraldin]

I just picked up Etrian Odyssey II yesterday so I've been playing that. I'm only at the second level so far but damn are those monsters tough! The random encounters are pretty easy, but the big glowy orange encounters are just TPK's waiting to happen. With a lot of luck I can kill one, but only if I get a lucky ambush turn and I get more luck from them in saving the characters that can actually hurt them till last. Maybe after a few more level ups...

[Dark_Raven]

Diablo 2 in Hell Mode. I can't be so cavalier like I was playing before. It takes more than 2 hits to kill something. And they hit hard right back.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I am currently ripping through Mass Effect. I swear, I'll beat this game in under 7 hours. Which is less than I spent on Halo 3, which is saying a lot.

What's the point of these threads? +1 posts for saying what you're playing right now? Might as well just make a chat room.

Well, theoretically you actually talk about the games your are playing a little rather than just listing titles. Share something cool that you just did or how you failed miserably.

[Xard]

Which happen time to time. And chit chat between guys playing the same game etc

[Pidesco]

It's a place where people can discuss whatever game they're playing without having to start a new thread for each game.

This kicking my ass. I died four times last night. Those damn unique bosses keep getting at me. I have to keep switching between spells since they have their own immunities.
