What are you playing now?

I've been playing a bit of Fallout 3 lately (since I bought the big box with all DLC's cheap). Things sort of went fine until I went to Point Lookout. Currently stuck with an unsolvable main quest, because the game CTD's every time I try to reenter Calverts Mansion after finishing the Sacred Bog quest and talking to the addle-brained guys at the Cathedral.

 

Not going to start over again. Bye bye Fallout 3...

Well, I'm nothing if not stubborn. Not sure what made the difference between rebooting my pc, changing resolution, disabling AA and a few other things. Only the great CPU will ever know.

 

Anyway, finished this DLC and found it fun within reason. I don't understand why it needed to be "high level" area, when it completely ruins the suspension of disbelief that a bunch of hicks are harder to kill than combat veterans in power armour

 

Nice atmosphere though. Besides, I love swamps

 

Accidentally triggered Mothership Zeta while going elsewhere. There is probably a special Fallout hell set aside for me for thoroughly enjoying it. Sure, it has nothing to do with Fallout, but I enjoyed the trip. Sort of Mars Attacks meets Plan 9 from outer space.

I'm still working on Deus Ex. Really good game. Decided to ditch pistols and instead went with rifles. Sniping with my modded sawed-off shotgun and sneaking on enemies with my Dragon Tooth sword is way too much fun.

 

I just killed Gunther (kinda felt bad for him) and saw the infamous "A BOMB!" scene. I'm at Vandenberg. How much more do I have left?

Nearing the end.

Let me rephrase that (since I can't edit any longer), I had a memory failure: Still some way to go!

Haven't been playing much lately. Too much work at the moment. No PC, PS3 or 360 games played in a while. Have only been playing Radiant Historia on the go. The good thing is that it's the best Nintendo DS RPG I have played.

[Lexx]

I just played Counter-Strike Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes for the very first time and... and I will never wonder again why it was deleted scenes. This is like a parody of all bad first person shooters and especially Counter-Strike. Pretty lol.

Fallout 3. I missed the ruin city and the metro tunnels which is lacking in FNV.

[Malcador]

Playing DX:HR, and listening to my friend play TOR.

[Morgoth]

Blood 2: The Chosen. Pretty damn bad game, but in a fun way.

[Starwars]

Played Deus Ex but save is currently stopped (think I'm in the final third of the game) due to lots of work. And what gaming time I have I'm currently trying to devote to helping with testing the Age of Decadence beta.

You missed the metro tunnels? I don't understand this comment. It almost sounds like you think the metro tunnels were a positive feature rather than a negative.

 

I've been playing around with Borderlands again with some friends and a little bit of Rollercoaster Tycoon on the side.

Been doing a slow paced 2nd playthrough of Deus Ex Human Revolution off and on between moments of reality...

Not playing FNV I miss the weapon and food crafting.

[Nihilus5078]

I'm playing Fallout: New Vegas.

[Lexx]

Everyone who misses the metro tunnels should check out the New Vegas sewers. I prefer them anytime over the damn metro tunnel of Fo3.

[Orchomene]

Still playing Heroes V. Waiting for the VI.

[Pidesco]

Alpha Protocol. Finally got the skills working.

[Hurlshort]

After finishing Deus Ex, I got back into Age of Conan. This game is unbelievable looking. It might beone of the best looking games I've ever played, and for an MMO that is really saying something. I've reached the lands of the Kithai, which is basically China. They have a Great Wall and I'm doing quests for a bunch of Mongols at this point. They have other names, but all the areas are pretty much based on real stuff. I just left Egypt, which was pretty amazing as well.

 

My character was a level 21 Aquilonian Conquerer I made back when the game came out 3 years ago. I played around with some new characters until I remembered how to play, and then started in on him again. He's up to level 25 now, it seems to have a pretty quick leveling pace. I'm still a bit confused about some of my abilities, but it's coming to me. The gameplay is pretty quick and definitely requires a bit of concentration, which is a change from most MMO's.

FOR THE EMPERAH!

[entrerix]

i tried the demo for space marine. not my cup of tea. too bad though, cause i like warhammer, and i like relic. the game seemed like it could be fun for some people, just not me.

 

finished 2 plays of deus ex HR. not sure what to play now

 

need to kill a month till dark souls, then batman AC, and then skyriiiiiim.

[Malcador]

FOR THE EMPERAH!

 

I thought you died in Kaureva.

The FO3 metro tunnels were a positive-- they were just massively overused (and unavoidable), such that everyone got sick of them. If they were more varied and not necessary gateways for many game locations, you wouldn't see the complaints that you do. Also, as someone who spends about an hour every workday in the actual DC Metro, it was fun to see a rather humdrum part of my routine transformed into an opportunity for adventure.

 

 

I am lousy at action games, and easily frustrated into quitting them. Everybody seems to criticize Arkham Asylum for being too easy, but I've hit a difficulty spike that had me walking away from the game. It's the fight that takes place where the electrified floor toggles from one area to the next-- I just can't handle it once there are 2 mooks weilding those freaking shock-prods. I've tried it about 5 times, and I'm getting closer to getting by (putting explosive-spray "mines" at the transition areas to set off at opportune moments certainly helped), but my patience is running thin. Can't I just go back to solving riddles instead??

 

When AA frustrates me or makes me woozy (I have some motion-sickness issues with it from time to time), I've been going back to advance an old BG2 save. I'm essentially re-playing with the same setup I first ran through the game over a decade ago-- a multiclassed F/M, Keldorn, Anomen, Jahiera, Jan, and Rotational/Imoen-- and just arrived at that town outside Spellhold.

Are you playing AA on easy? I play everything on easy now, I'm too old and crotchety to worry about being challenged enough.

in AA if you do things right on that fight, you can set it up so the floor fries your opponents.

[HoonDing]

By spamming the triple batclaw attack you can knock all suckers down. If you time it correctly, they'll get fried.

[Morgoth]

Okay, I gave up on Blood 2 because that game has some seriously questionable level design.

 

Back to Deus Ex I guess.

[entrerix]

dear Enoch:

 

play it on easy, it will save you a lot of hassle.

 

also, learn the fast takedown skill and use it constantly, if i remember right you just need to string together 5 button presses and you get a free auto-knockout attack.

 

dodge more, and use the cape stun attack to dizzy those shock prod guys without worrying about them hitting you mid attack string.

 

maybe practice your group fighting in that side mode of the game? forget what its called, challenge mode? run through that a few times and the main game will feel WAY easier.
