LadyCrimson Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 We winished Borderlands tonight, just now. Lovely free-roaming experience, which had nice last two hours, but one very disappointing end sequence and a lousy plot coherence. It was just...there, vague and unsatisfying, despite the really decent build up of excitement the game had been garnering for the last ten hours. I have to admit that finally getting to the Vault was very satisfying, but the end boss...well, no. The end boss stuff was pretty lame. Altho I would have had a difficult time bringing him down if I hadn't had a never-ending ammo revolver. bang bang bang *hide* bang bang bang for what felt like forever. lol I leveled up to 41 in 2nd playthrough and then found myself being a little bored... Haven't tried going back to Total War:Rome yet, I'll check out some mods, thanks. Complex is good, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I just want simple. Hmm wonder if Lords of the Realm2 will run on XP...that was always a hoot. “Things are as they are.

Maria Caliban Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 That's the thing, the game itself is just... boring, lame. Sure, you could add friends, but then that means the friends are what make the game fun, not the game itself. I'm going to disagree with this. When a game is designed to be played with friends (as L4D has always seemed to me) judging it by the single-player experience seems like a poor idea. "When is this out.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm trying to make a source modification -or rather a tweak that would enable the Portal Gun in Half Life two in such a way that the original campaign is intact- and failing.

Purkake Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) Nexus: The Jupiter Incident, after Gratuitous Space Battles, I got the urge to play some awesome space RTSs.

Malcador Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Wow I forgot all about Nexus. I have to beat that game too, the last level with the black sphere of death or whatever wouldn't run on my old P3 800 PC way back when. *seeks out CD* Why has elegance found so little following?

LadyCrimson Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Dawn of Discovery (Anno 1404). Except for the super-slo-mo saving game times and restrictive DRM, a nice city-builder strategy game. I like it, especially the Continuous free play mode where the "huge" map size is actually huge. Hopping from island to island making new settlements/cities, sailing around the map making trade/political relations...all with Casear3 or 4 like city-building. Awesome. “Things are as they are.

CoM_Solaufein Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Dragon Age just finished the Dwarf quest. Debating which one to move to next. The mage tower has those damn puzzles, one thing I hate about RPGs are puzzles, they bore me. I'll probably do the Redcliffe quest next, that's mostly straight hack n slash.

Deraldin Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I've mostly been playing Shattered Horizon for the past couple days since I got a guest pass. I'm leaning towards picking this one up when the pass runs out. It needs some work, but the base game is pretty good. Also, you get shot from above and below a lot.
