Nepenthe Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Finished Mass Effect 2 with a renegade "female" Shepard (using a me1 save from that website that collects them). Ended up inviting Kelly to my quaerters after finishing the game Still crossing fingers and hoping for a goty type release thing with all the addons. I'd say it's a given. More interesting to see if it's going to come out when ALL the DLC is out (like DAO would seem to be), or at just some random stage (like the ME1 x360 version did)... You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
HoonDing Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) I'm still playing Two Worlds. Game is pretty fun but alchemy skill is ridiculous; I had to quit playing and restart because I had broken the game with permanent effect potions previously, raising my character's protection & attributes to god-like level (leading to clearing out entire Orc war camps naked with barely taking any damage). Without alchemy, my level 50 character still gets one-shotted by certain enemies if he's not careful. Only gripe about the game is the need to scour merchants periodically in order to upgrade one's weapons & equipment. It gets tedious very fast. The same goes for the magic cards, not to mention that pure damage spells are very much inferior compared to the power of summoned creatures & archery/melee, making a nuke mage pretty redundant; melee combat has good animations, but it is a bit too much the same click & dodge-fest as Gothic 3 (but at least it's not the clunky mess as in Risen). I'm curious how these issues will be dealt with in the sequel. Edited September 29, 2010 by virumor The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Labadal Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2. Not hating it, but I can't say that it is a great game either.
mr insomniac Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Planescape:Torment courtesy of GOG. Haven't played in several years, and it's definitely a treat to go back. Got out of the Mortuary, wandering around the Hive, already fought some thugs and talked to Ingress. One semi-amusing glitch, and I dunno if it's a side effect of the widescreen mod, UI fix or both, but characters won't turn to face the direction I want them to move in. Most of the time they walk sideways or moonwalk. It's a little bizarre, and even happens in combat. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
Morgoth Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Downloading the Castlevania Lord of Shadows demo now. Also played the DeathSpank Thongs of Virtue demo and thought it was pretty funny. Maybe I'm buying the first DeathSpank. Rain makes everything better.
Vilhelm Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 One semi-amusing glitch, and I dunno if it's a side effect of the widescreen mod, UI fix or both, but characters won't turn to face the direction I want them to move in. Most of the time they walk sideways or moonwalk. It's a little bizarre, and even happens in combat. This problem actually exists in the vanilla version. You can fix it by turning on Software Mirroring in the video options.
Tale Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2. Not hating it, but I can't say that it is a great game either. I played that game so much it was ridiculous. A guilty pleasure I had for a few months. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Hurlshort Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Played Lord of the Rings Online a bit. I absolutely love the new area, it is really nice looking and has some great new creatures and characters. I also bought an outfit that makes me look like Indiana Jones via the new Turbine in-game store. I have a ton of points since I have been playing forever, over 3,000 right now.
Setzer Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Played Lord of the Rings Online a bit. I absolutely love the new area, it is really nice looking and has some great new creatures and characters. I also bought an outfit that makes me look like Indiana Jones via the new Turbine in-game store. I have a ton of points since I have been playing forever, over 3,000 right now. I've been playing off and on. Finally got finished with Mirkwood quests and got kindred with Malledhrim. Now in the process of saving up emblems for the horse and port. Probably will make my way into Enedwaith next. Also been leveling up a Burglar which is pretty fun. I spent a majority of my turbine points on vault space, shared storage and wardrobe space. I had almost 5k after the store patch went in and now I'm down to a little under 2k. I've held off on the cosmetic purchases because you couldn't see what they looked like on your toon but as of the last update you can now try stuff on so I'll probably be spending the rest of my points on cosmetic stuff lol. The deed buffs are also nice. Aside from LotRO I've been playing Dragon Quest VIII and IX -- having a blast with both games! Looking forward to Castlevania: LoS next week! The demo was awesome!
Malcador Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Claptrap DLC, pretty fun so far. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Deadly_Nightshade Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Played Lord of the Rings Online a bit. I've been playing off and on. We should do a SoDOFF raid/instance sometime! "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Morgoth Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Death Spank, which is pretty cool and a more motivating Hack & Slasher than Torchlight. Also Alien Ressurection (PS1 game) which is damn hard, but fun. Rain makes everything better.
Hurlshort Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Played Lord of the Rings Online a bit. I've been playing off and on. We should do a SoDOFF raid/instance sometime! Are you playing? I'm pretty sure Setzer is on another server. One of the devs was a player too, if I remember correctly. I tried to get a few others to play but none of them stuck with it. It's weird, I find LotRO way more engaging than I did WoW, and I feel like it is easier to go back to after a month or two break, but a lot of people I game with lose interest in it rather quickly. To each their own, I guess. I picked up Civ5 yesterday. It is phenomenal. I don't know how they keep managing to improve what is already a fantastic game.
Tale Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Played some Halo: Reach in co-op Legendary yesterday. Tilt is on, why are you shooting elites with the assault rifle, people? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Hurlshort Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I'm on Windfola. Oh wow, so am I. My main is Taranto, feel free to add me to your friend list. As I said, I'm on sporadically, but I do try and play a couple times a month.
ShadySands Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Currently splitting my free time between Civ 5 and LotRO. Finally moving up into the higher difficulty settings in Civ but aside from being steamrolled once for seriously neglecting my army I'm finding it to be a little easier than I feel it should be. Free games updated 3/4/21
LadyCrimson Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Dungeon Keeper 1 still I'm about to play a little of that right now! Claptrap DLC, pretty fun so far. Was going to get that, but then realized/read that the patch that fixes scaling/adds clvls is independent of the DLC...so I think I'll wait for the patch before downloading the new stuff.

entrerix Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 i love dungeon keeper. such a great great game. I wish we could get a properly awesome sequel to that, and Myth Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Raithe Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Technically.. I should be playing some Civ V... but I haven't been able to really sit down with it since last Friday... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
