^ THat's truly awful art, they look like a Nordic Eurovision band entry circa 1998.

Still playing NWN2. Tried fighting a red dragon. I couldn't even scratch it

Giving Space Rangers 2 Reboot a try.

 

I feel I'd actually quite enjoy this game.. if I could actually do more then get blown up by pirates past the introduction. The fact that their weapons do about 4 times more damage then mine and fire about twice as rapidly seems to keep having me blow up before I can actually do anything to upgrade my ship....

Done with Overlord II, funny game overall. Last boss fight reminded me of my annoyance with the game, damn checkpoint saves and multi-stage boss fights. Control scheme wasn't ported to PC very well in some instances, but no matter

So I'm playing Two Worlds today for a bit, like I have every day for a week plus now or something...and I started to wonder. Why are there so many frakkin' merchants? I counted over a dozen in one of the bigger towns alone, spread out over a wide "we're gonna make you run a mile!" area. Probably a 2-3 dozen others I've encountered in other towns/areas so far, too. I can see having more than one per town, what with the stacking items concept/more opportunity to buy stuff for that, but...well...see...

 

...a person who is compulsively driven to check every merchant for gear every time they go in to sell loot, especially early-middle game, is going to be slowly driven mad by it all. ( <----------- me )

Whats your starting race/ship?

 

I've only played it as a human so far, starting out the the fair sized ship and bank account. I eventually made it a priority to upgrade ship speed and do missions to accumulate wealth. Scavenging when the big boys fight is a great source of income for upgrades too. Never leave home without a gripper (or buy a hull that doesn't allow one)

Started out as a human mercenary.. did the introduction bit, and the mars robot thing.. now every time I leave mars I just get jumped by 1 of two pirates and blown up before I can reach anywhere else. So I'm thinking I might just restart and see what develops.

...a person who is compulsively driven...

Hmm, I'm pretty sure this isn't an actual flaw in the game.

 

Personally, I liked having the choice. Also, every merchant has different wares. It's worth it to check up on all of them every once in a while.. just not every time!

I just beat Borderlands. I take back everything negative I've ever said about Gearbox. Pretty far into Zombie Island, then onto the other two xpacs and to wait for the upcoming one.

Overlord is a shining example of the function of dual analog sticks. It's ported well to the PC, you just need a gamepad.

Started Disciples III yesterday, first impression is RTS meets SRPG. Very long and tedious moments with nothing to do, the difficulty scale is a little skewered and yet the game is strangely addictive.

A more accurate description would be Heroes of Might and Magic meets Heroes of Might and Magic

 

And isn't it all turn based?

Unlikely going to buy a peripheral for this one game, but the sweeping and stuff is easy with the mouse, although it messed up for me when I tried to sweep forward and the camera shifts to the back left. I did laugh when I saw the screen to choose a mistress using Alt, Q or RMB to choose.

Company of Heroes Online Beta, still.

 

Wow, it's amazing playing different gamers. One minute you're on top of the world, an unstoppable leviathan of fiery destruction. The next you are getting pwned by a guy who knows how to use a sniper and a MG and holds up your entire advance because you can't capture one freaking fuel point.

 

This is a very polished product. And it's free when it's released next month. And, no, I don't work for them.

Finished up The Maimed God's Saga. All in all one of the most enjoyable mods I've played. Definitely one I'll replay at some point, extremely fun.

 

Now I'm playing a bunch of old SNES games. Rock'n'Roll Racing at the moment which is the best game ever.

im playing earthbound off and on, very cute little game so far.

 

im also playing some starcraft2 online with a friend, and I'm also playing FF8.

 

i gave up on the longest journey again. I have a feeling it will still be in my backlog in another 5 years...

Just finished another run through DA:O and am about to start Elemental: War of Magic.

OMG, Elemental is out?

 

Why was I not told? This changes everything!

 

We don't even have a thread for it.

Beat Shadowgrounds: Survivor last nite, now giving Trine a try. So far seems like worth the 5 euros

I'll have to play Elemental (need a new game anyway) friend won't STFU about it, hehe. Know next to nothing about it though, other than it's 4x in fantasy.

According to GAF the campaign sucks, but the skirmish is awesome.

Whose brilliant idea was it for each of the sections of Mad Moxxi to require nearly two hours? GEARBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX

 

I'm not even sure if you can save without having to restart. That'd be stupid to not be able to, but I don't want to risk it.

Aye, not a game flaw...it's a me-flaw!

Somewhere after level 24 I started spending an hour or two shopping for every hour of questing/killing. The system of stacking items doesn't help. I have a low level quiver (don't use a bow) I've been stacking forever that is awesome. Then I realized you could use horses & empty chests for loot stashes & I began trying to collect all the sets that I think are 'cool looking'.

 

I need help! Bring the net, Shoppers Anonymous!

And where does the RTS part come in?

The world map, managing resources to level up troops in a short time, and picking the right classes for the job whilst using the capital to build them up.
