mkreku Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Played an hour or two of Crysis 3. Uninstalled. Don't buy. Crysis is a brand new game. You mean you pay full price for a game, try it for 2-3 hours and then uninstall it? Where did you buy it? 1 Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Bokishi Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I do kinda agree with Morgoth on the Crysis 3 levels, they make you think they are open ended with their size, but you are still on direct pathways. They don't even let you drive tanks, or multiple vehicles, just this little go kart in one level. Crysis 1 is still the best one. I'm gonna stick through and finish though as I am on the last level already Current 3DMark
BruceVC Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Right now I'm playing nothing. But I'm wating anxiously for word of a GOTY edition for Skyrim so I can buy the whole thing at once. Have no played it yet. Plus OOTP 14 comes out in April. I'm excited about that. I would imagine I'm the only one here to say that! Oh yes, Rome TW II, that is Must-Have! GB you are a genius, I also haven't played Skyrim yet so waiting for the GOTY edition make sense. Any idea when it will come out?

Tigranes Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 BioWare is dropping the ball too often At least you are suggesting that they keep picking it back up Hi Melk I like Bioware and despite all this "Bioware Bashing" I guarantee you that almost every person on these forums who claims to dislike Bioware and that there games are sub-par will play Dragon Age 3 when its released. Mark my words Not me My last Bio game was Jade Empire, and I am proud about it And I am also proud that I own every single PC Bio game, expansion pack and DLC up to Jade Empire, all were excellent games, even thought hey were not all my cup of tea... After they sold out to EA, I just found another companies which provides me with high quality products. Thankfully there is enough companies which offer quality gameplay, instead of idea of broadening the audience... Yeah, it's a convenient argument that since everyone plays it the criticisms are at least partially invalid. But the fact is, (1) it doesn't invalidate the criticism, it just questions the person's use of his/her own spare time; (2) it's not true. I haven't played Mass Effect or DA2 beyond half-hour stints and I don't regret it. Trying to choose between CK2, Path of Exile, Grimoire Demo and BG2 each night and then realising I have no time anyway. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
Blodhemn Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Played Skyrim for a cpl days and ended up with a dead video card. Cool.
Bokishi Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Just finished Crysis 3, what a ridiculous mindless explosive ending. My head hurts lol Current 3DMark

You mean you pay full price for a game, try it for 2-3 hours and then uninstall it? Where did you buy it? Greenmangaming.com 45€ minus 20% voucher minus 12,50€ credit = ~22€. Still a total waste of money. Rain makes everything better.
Tale Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 The Fox Blade (which seems like it might be a reskinned armor breaker) is overpowered in Metal Gear Rising. I see now why the Armor Breaker is probably among the last weapons people would normally get. I haven't even upgraded its special ability and it kills normal cyborgs outright. 1 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Im having lots of fun with this game, it has a really short campaign but i cannot stop my self from slicing&dicing On the other hand im visiting my parents for the weekend so no high end/console games. BOOOO! A weekend full of DOTA2 and Banner Saga Factions. And drinking ! Nothing is true, everything is permited.

Thay have not even announced one yet but I imagine it will come once the last DLC sales start to fall off. I saw the price of the game has dropped from $49.99US to $34.99. That's a good sign.

Hurlshort Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Played an MMO called Age of Wushu. Looks interesting, it was recommended by a friend. It's pretty dang complicated, but I'll give it a bit more time. I think it is still in beta, I'm playing for free now.
Keyrock Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Playing Crusader Kings 2. Started out as Duke Marcin I of Silesia (custom created), vassal of King Boleslaw the Bold of Poland. Gave myself the traits Quick, Lustful, and Wounded. Chose a Welsh Duchess as a wife, had a baby daughter, had another daughter... with... ahem... not my wife. Legitimized the daughter out of wedlock, naturally the wife and legitimate daughter didn't like that one bit. I did what any loving husband would do in that situation, threw money at the problem. Later I discovered my wife was plotting against me. Considered imprisoning her, but being the loving husband I am, I gave her a chance to end her plot. Horrifically Lower Silesia converted to the Cathar religion. Heretics! I sent my Chaplain over there in a desperate attempt to turn them back to the true faith, Catholicism. Otherwise I may have to put the sword to them. Can't have heretics living on my lands. On the bright side, my wound healed, leaving a super manly scar. Good times so far.

Tale Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Still playing Metal Gear Rising. R-05 and beyond seem rushed. Heck, R-05 is only 5 minutes long with no boss. R-06 is only a boss. R-07 is about 6 minutes long, then the final boss, so it's not too bad given the boss is a long one. Still rather like it, but the quality drop is significant.

Enoch Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Sick day means Civ day! Closing in on a Cultural win as the Celts. The "Fractal" map script gave me a small continent all to myself (with one city state), but within Trireme range of the big continent with everybody else. I had a good setup for scientific development (a mountain-adjacent capital; a good amount of Jungle), but science victories take so long, so I leveraged that advantage to get me to the good cultural techs and wonders.

You can't go wrong with SD as Keyrock and I will tell you. I also found a way to fix a certain timing bug on the PC if you experience it 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Blodhemn Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 The only good thing about having ugly visuals like Fallout New Vegas is that the old and almost useless video card I had to put in for the time being still can run it pretty well in most spots. Awesome.
melkathi Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Tried playing Borderlands 2 again. Game rubs me the wrong way though and just can't seem to enjoy it the way I did the previous one. Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
BruceVC Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I got annoyed with Of Orcs and Men as I kept getting killed, so I stopped playing it and then deleted it off my machine. Its not a good enough game for me to go back and relearn new skills or understand the combat properly. So tonight I will be installing Alan Wake, I have always wanted to play it "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

LadyCrimson Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I played Alan Wake a bit, but (as often happens to me these days) I didn't get too far. It had a nice creepy atmosphere and sound that I liked, but its gameplay structure wasn't really for me. “Things are as they are.

Tale Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I beat Metal Gear Rising: Reveangence. Best new game I've played this year, but on reflection, I think it's the only 2013 release I've played so far. So... off to a good start? Anyway, the story needed another pass before finalizing. R-00 is irrelevant. R-01 is irrelevant. R-02 through R-04 are one plot. R-05 through R-07 are another plot. The connecting fabric being the same bad guys. But their four different plans seem unrelated. Now to decide what to do next. I started an MGS 2 HD run I should finish. I would also like to unlock some more stuff and do some upgrades, maybe try Very Hard on MGSRR. Or I could go back to Of Orcs and Men.

Yeah, CK2 is far more focused on politics and less on action than other strategy games. You manage most things at a very macro level, handing off responsibility to members of your court or vassals. So many things can all be happening all at once that it's really necessary to hand off most of the responsibility to others, otherwise you'd just get overwhelmed. I'm just scratching the surface of the game, but I really like it so far. I'm already looking forward to the upcoming The Old Gods DLC that will let you play as pagans and loot and pillage and sacrifice people. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
