Lexx Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Playing Duke Nukem Forever. The pacing of the game is too slow, imo. I just wanted to kill stuff, but I had to do all the other things first, which had been really boring. Also I find the graphic quite bleh... everything is so blurry and I can't seem to disable this. AA doesn't really work as well? No idea. Ah yeah and the gameworld seems empty here and there. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Serrano Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 I found the game got much better after you actually get into the mine and fight the octobrains. Try to stick with it, DNF wasn't the best shooter ever but it had some really good bits in there.
Hurlshort Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Giving Crusader Kings II a go. Well, more like blundering around with it. That's the way I feel about it too. Seriously, there might be such thing as too many options.
Bokishi Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Never got around to finishing Duke Nukem Forever, got too boring in the middle. Probably should have stayed vaporware Current 3DMark
Orchomene Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Giving Crusader Kings II a go. Well, more like blundering around with it. That's the way I feel about it too. Seriously, there might be such thing as too many options. If it's your first Paradox grand strategy game, this feeling is natural. But you will get used to it quickly. In the end, there are not so many things to manage when you know a bit more the game. If you feel overwhelmed, try playing a small county in a peaceful region (like inside an empire).

Bos_hybrid Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Endless Space, released today. Is it good? Yes, but then I own every 4x(space) game and have managed to find good points in most of them. It hasn't got the depth of GalCiv, but it has that just one more turn about it. If your a 4x fan, you should like it.
Gorth Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 FO: NV @ 15 hours now ... I really need to finish that game some day >_ Got stuck at a point where I think most of the side stuff is done, at least the stuff that doesn't irreversibly commit me to a side in the conflict. I think I know what I'm going to play tonight “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Tale Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Finished the two F.E.A.R. expansions. Perseus Mandate was better than I expected, definitely better than Extraction Point. But maybe I'd just gotten so use to Timegate's style it didn't bother me anymore. Now to debate what next. Prepare a Skyrim save for Dawnguard? Get back to Drakensang: The River of Time? Play PA Adventures: Episode 3? I did start a Thief playthrough too... "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Majek Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Now to debate what next. Prepare a Skyrim save for Dawnguard? Get back to Drakensang: The River of Time? Play PA Adventures: Episode 3? I did start a Thief playthrough too... Play Thief, get scared, play Thief II, ger scared again, play Thief:DS, get scared and maybe even finish the game. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Lexx Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Still playing DNF. The beginning was boring, then it became better and now that I am close to the end, I think it is getting a bit meh again. I am a bit surprised about the hard boss fights. Will be happy when I am through the game. Probably won't replay the game ever, though.

Bokishi Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I am replaying Spore. Haven't touched it in 3.5 years, so it sorta feels new again Current 3DMark
Oner Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Personally I enjoyed DNF, the second playthrough moreso than the first. Make sure to play the Dr wo cloned me too. .

GhostofAnakin Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Well, I totally spaced out. For some reason, I thought I could continue playing New Vegas after the battle at Hoover Dam, so I left the Lonesome Road DLC until after that. Only after I saw the credits roll did it sink in that I couldn't keep playing. Looks like I'll have to play Lonesome Road when I finish off another play through, this time siding with Mr. House.

Tale Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I chose Penny-Arcade Adventures, episode 3. I am not writing that entire thing out. I'm a bit disturbed here. I played the entire thing today. That should speak for its quality. But it's 11 hours long. That speaks... for other things. I even took a break and went grocery shopping. How did I spend that much time on one game on one day? Maybe I started it yesterday and don't remember. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

There should be an autosave before the Dam. I want to finish off some achievements, such as siding with Yes Man anyway, so I'll use that save which is about at the point when all 4 endings are still open to me.

There is a very huge popup right before the end of the game, which tells you exactly that the game will end. It even asks you if you want to continue or not and you pressed yes.

Malcador Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Still putzing around with Crusader Kings 2. Probably made a bad decision choosing the HRE (it was the easiest one on the selection screen so I figured it'd be ok to stumble around in). The politicking is rather fun, though. Will read the manual over lunch and keep at it. Why has elegance found so little following?

There is a very huge popup right before the end of the game, which tells you exactly that the game will end. It even asks you if you want to continue or not and you pressed yes. Hence me spacing out. I wasn't really paying attention, and figured that was more a warning that I wouldn't have any chances to buy weapons, or collect items from my safe house, or whatever after that point. It didn't sink in that it meant the game was actually done after that point, and any other sidequests I had open would remain unfinished.
