What are you playing now?

[Rosbjerg]

Just bought From Dust after playing the trial version.

 

On consoles right? Because I haven't been able to find a trial version for PC.

[Tigranes]

Tried Two Worlds 2. Very underwhelmed. I'm growing very sick of the FPP/OTS one-person real-time combat in RPGs, in nearly all of them it's just (a) really easy, (b) really repetitive and in the end is just mediocre, never exciting. TW2 seems to have all the bells and whistles and some promising areas, but really, there's not enough for me to stand the boring combat and cumbersome PC movement.

On 360, yeah. PC version is out in a couple of weeks.

So, Two Worlds is pretty fun when you're cheating like crazy. I keep giving myself tons of XP and gold whenever the fights get too ridiculous. Now if only I could find trainers for skills I need.

 

Also played a bit of Limbo. Can't play that for any stretch because the atmosphere is threatening to drag me into despair and madness.

[Gfted1]

Started playing DS3. Playing the mage, currently only level two and getting my blood punched out by Vera (?) the swamp witch. On casual.

[Malcador]

Arma II still. AI is worse than OA at driving, but at least they understand the terrain better than OFPDR, heh. Finally making a decent siege of Cherno though, w00t. Also plugging on in Tropico 3, is odd but seems really really easy.

I could not have said it better, that's exactly how I felt when I played TW2.

Space Station 13 - it's hilarious. Ugly indie game, where every player assumes a role (from AI to lowly assistant) and then try to fulfil their jobs to the best of their abilities. Of course with all the grievers and idiots this game usually goes completely insane within minutes. Couple that with space wizards and murderous mimes and you got yourself a really wacky game.

 

I was playing an assistant and was trying to repair some wires (i.e sabotage the station) when I was electrocuted - lucky for me a guy comes by, wakes me up.. and then steals my shoes. Then suddenly the AI goes rouge and murder and mayhem entails.

[Guest Slinky]

 

Gotta try that one sometime!

This is about how I felt about Two Worlds 2.

 

Though I did enjoy the first map/area, but after that it got boring pretty fast.

I had the exact same experience. If she's too tough, you can get Lucas in coop and then when you exit coop you still have him as an AI companion. After I bought him some equipment he pretty much killed her all by himself. Edit:

Also you can block and heal, no one will hit you if you're blocking

Also, while dodging is the best overall way to avoid damage in DS3, when there's ranged missiles going on (which I believe there is in the Vera fight if I remember correctly) standing still and simply blocking them can be a huge help if you can't time your dodges.

[WorstUsernameEver]

Pump will with Reinhart. I can't stress it enough, pump WILL!

[Morgoth]

Replaying the Starcraft 2 campaign until DX:HR comes out.

 

Good fun, but you really need to play the first 20 missions or at the highest difficulty level to get that SC1 vibe.

[Gizmo]

Currently Disciples 3:Renaissance.

 

(about 60 hours in)

[Guest Slinky]

Started casually playing Diablo 2 after who knows how many years.

 

Otherwise having fun, but the mercenary keeps getting stuck. Not just on walls, sometimes it just powers off without any clear reason and it won't teleport to me if I move further from it. Using a portal to town unlocks it, but if it does it about once every 30 minutes..

 

Meh. Maybe I should finally try Alpha Protocol instead.

[MechanicalLemon]

Playing Morrowind GOTY unmodded as a Dunmer assassin.

 

I couldn't get into it my first time through (didn't make it past the starting town) but coming back to it now, I admit that I'm hooked. I'm heading towards Vivec and find myself far more enthralled in this game than Oblivion. I really hope Skyrim is more like the former and less like the latter.

[Hurlshort]

Picked up a game of Eschelon Book 1 that I hadn't played in two years. It's on my laptop, which I really only game with on trips. Pretty fun, actually, I'm up to level 7 and finally able to get a few quests done without running like a girl from everything.

That sucks. Never had that problem myself though.

 

 

Still playing Stronghold Crusader. I really like the game, it doesn't have the hectic pace of RTS games and the whole castle building is a lot of fun.

It's been a several months since I've managed to finish a game. I currently have 5 games that I can think of on the go right now. Baldur's Gate, Duke Nukem Forever, Frozen Synapse, Icewind Dale and I just started a run of Command and Conquer 3. I relly should finish some of these before I start new ones.

[mkreku]

I bought Terraria from Steam because someone recommended it. I built an ugly house, killed some.. puddles of slime (?) and quit.

 

Why did you recommend this to meeee?! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Because people don't think about other peoples taste when recommending games to them.

[Malcador]

HoMM3, pretty fun game - remember wasting so much time on the demo I got from PCG back in the day, heh. Shame I'm terrible at it though.

[HoonDing]

I picked up the 2008 Prince of Persia game from eBay a while back. I might be playing that after finishing my replay of Space Siege.

[Morgoth]

replay Space Siege.
