What are you playing now?

[Hurlshort]

I've gotten back into Skyrim a bit. I'm still not totally in love with it. I think it's the pacing, it just feels a bit too slow, and I'm a bit tired of climbing around in caves. There sure are a lot of people living in caves. Maybe it's the damp air that makes them so irritable, because they also like throw themselves on my sword, and it is getting a bit dull.

 

I had a nice vampire quest where a family was burned alive in their home, and I did some investigation to find the culprit. I found her and took care of her in the basement of her home. For a second I thought this was finally going to be a quest where I didn't have to crawl through a cave. Then they made me go crawl through a cave to kill some master vampire.

Playing Star Ocean 4, I was just able to get the Battle Trophy for 5 minute kill of Ashlay Bernbelt, I got 99,999 damage trophy for Edge on him as well :D

 

Actually having big fun with the game trying to get as most Battle Trophies as possible before I get exhausted again from the sucky -ology drops

Warlock - Master of the Arcane. Loving it but wishing they had a campaign mode and a bit more complexity.

 

 

and Kinect Star Wars. Feeling sorry for the people below me because I'm jumping all over the place

Crossing fingers and hoping for expansions. Complexity is probably a matter of taste. Like Master of Orion 2, there is a "sweet spot" where it offers details, yet doesn't drown you in micromanagement. So far, I'm having fun balancing my 3 main resources, food (I keep thinking of "Madagascar" when I see the little steak icon), money and mana. It makes it challenging to decide how you are going to expand your cities, should you add more food production, money production or something that converts one resource into another. How much is it going to keep costing me in upkeep? Build too many regiments for a standing army and your coffers starts drying up and your population shrinks. Many little details to keep an eye out for, so for me and myself, detail is just about right. I'm just about to take my first enemy player (A.I.) capital. Those things are solid, even when using siege engines. I keep forgetting that I have "stay in play" spells that increases my units effectivity. Need to keep an eye on my research.

 

If I want more detail, I'll go play 'War in the Pacific' or 'War in Russia'

Now I have to hurt both of you!

 

Making me want to buy Warlock...

I can recommend trying out the demo. Unlike some games, this one gives a fair indication of what to expect.

[Flouride]

Finished Legend of Grimrock, so I guess I should finish Trine 2 as well before moving on to other games...

What's with the octangular grid (actually what's the word for a something with 6 sides) it's visually distracting. Getting the demo though.

The Hexagon? Aka, 'Hex'? Aka the holy symbol of true wargamers

[Gorgon]

Yes those. I just haven't seen a turn based game in a while.

[entrerix]

diablo 3, the game is truly exceptional. great art design, tons of monster variety, very very very fun to play

[Morgoth]

Keep playing that little wonderful and charming gem called Aquanox 2, while I'm waiting to get those Diablo 3 server bugs eliminated in the meantime.

I can't find a demo in my usual places, where do you get a demo?

Steam

I downloaded it from Steam. That was before the game got released. It's still there though

Thanks.

 

I hadn't seen the demo opportunity there before.

[Mamoulian War]

Star Ocean 4 still, I was able to finish all the quests in game, and kill Gabriele Celeste with Meracle under 10 mins for another crazy Battle Trophy

[GhostofAnakin]

Still playing Witcher 2. I'm losing a bit of steam, though. I'm primarily just pushing through to try out the various "big" decisions in different ways. Probably would have been easier if I'd originally kept saves at crucial points my previous play throughs.

[Nepenthe]

Witcher 2 here, as well. I find the core gameplay a bit boring and enjoyment of story is lessened by not having played the first game (considerably, I suspect). Still, am enjoying it, but more at the 7/10 level than at the omg bestest thing ever level. Unhappily the seriously impressive amount of branching in the game doesn't actually make it any more fun for me... But, yes, there's a lot of very impressive stuff in the game, I just feel that it's in some ways less than the sum of it's parts. I'll still be picking up their next game day1 in the hopes that they make it gel better, next time.

[Tale]

Nier and Dragon Quest V finally arrived today. Got started on Nier. Nier starts off pretty darn slow, but the intro makes for a fascinating hook in a "I just have to see what the heck that's all about" sort of way.

[Serrano]

while I'm waiting to get those Diablo 3 server bugs eliminated in the meantime.

 

I think they already are actually, I've not had any disconnects or lag in two days.

[WorstUsernameEver]

Finished Risen 2. I enjoyed it, but man that game had problems. I'm hoping they keep the pirate setting for the inevitable sequel, now that they have a framework they should hopefully be able to improve on it, fix balance and combat, provide more opportunities for skill usage, reintegrate some elements from Risen 1 and Gothic (swimming, killing people you've incapacitated, etc.) and maybe sculpt character models that have proportions resembling human beings. I have faith in you, Piranha Bytes, don't disappoint me!

 

EDIT: Also man, that boss fight was anticlimatic as all hell. There's a problem when your final boss is weaker than a side quest monster.. or heck, weaker than most monsters too.

[Gorgon]

I can't muster the will to complete it.

 

Been playing warlock. It's insanely addictive. I kinda wish my towers could be set to auto though, so you don't have to give the same order every turn.

[Setzer]

Diablo III is consuming most of my free time and I'm also playing Class of Heroes(PSP) when I'm on the go.

 

Game of Thrones looks interesting. May try that when I finish up D3.
