Hurlshort Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 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.

Gorth Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Warlock - Master of the Arcane. Loving it but wishing they had a campaign mode and a bit more complexity. 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' “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

GhostofAnakin Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 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 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 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. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Tale Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 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.

WorstUsernameEver Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) 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 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I can't muster the will to complete it. Been playing warlock. It's insanely addictive.
