Still at M&B Warband: Prophesy of Pendor.

Having the biggest kingdom, Empire and Sarleon are down already.

Serious trouble keeping the lords happy though and it's just getting worse.

 

I'm only half enjoying it at this point, I just want to actually win the game just once.

 

Waiting and fearing the time when they'll finish and release Bannerlord.

Half hoping it'll be what I expect, half hoping it'll suck so I wouldn't lose 1000 hours on it. X____x

Gunpoint - great little title! fun, imaginative, good gameplay. A little short, but that's ok.

Same. The multiple approaches available in most missions gives it decent replay value. The sense of humor is great, the self-deprecating achievements are hilarious. The epilogue blog thing is a nice touch. http://www.pentadact.com/category/conwaysblog/?K=4&U=31&C0=1&E1=1&C1=2&E2=1&C2=3&C3=3&C4=3&C5=3 (NSFOFM.)*

Taking a short break from NW:Online (well, outside of occasional Gateway use). Fired up some Dungeon Keeper, because slapping imps to death always makes me happy for an hour or two.

Played thre generations of monsters so far. It's a cute game with a nice sense of humour.

After reading this: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-06-11-state-of-decay-review

 

..I plugged in my old Xbox 360 again and downloaded the demo. It was excellent. Quite generous for a demo too. It never felt like a demo until I advanced the story far enough for it to put a 30-minutes-playing-time-left limit on me. By then I had already played for probably 3-4 hours.

 

I will wait for the PC version though. I'm just too crappy with a controller and I've gotten used to playing in 1920x1080 at 60 fps.

Went back to Rift, am a bit clueless as to how it plays now. But F2P and I have a character at 27 already so might as well waste some time on that.

Finished Penny-Arcade 4. It seems to have forgotten to be funny towards the end. I still liked it, it just may be the weakest installment.

99% of the time it's Deeper Dungeons...the official levels or my own "goofing off" maps. :)

"Jumping" a bit between games. In EUIII, Muscowy has expanded a bit, successful diplomacy (I was a lucky bastard and got a new monarch with diplomacy 9) has brought me claims on thrones of a number of the smaller states (Tver, Yaroslaw, Pskov) while anarchy in the Golden Horde after the untimely death of the khan means I could more or less unopposed settle a few provinces (targeting Samara as a priority because of the vast gold reserves). Needs to happen quick, as Lithuania, Bohemia and everybody else wants to participate in the great carving up the horde fest.

 

When not subjugating the nomans, playing a bit of SWTor. Most of my characters have migrated by now, but my 3 key players are still residing in what is now truly a wasteland. Gorth (soon to be ex-gorth) completed Tattooine's main story a while ago, but after a brief visit to Alderaan decided to mop up on the desert world. It sure seems a lot bigger than Kotor1 let us to believe :grin:

 

Being way overlevelled (35) at this time, he can solo through all the 'Heroic' missions without breaking a sweat.

 

Noticed that passing level 30 added a number of bonus missions to the existing space missions. Horrible little time sinks, but not the worst mini-games I've seen.

 

On a slightly related note, I noticed that it's just as well that I don't care much about 'achievements' as they are completely FUBAR in the character transfer process.

 

At least the 'collections' things seems to work (and a very nice feature it is too), that is if you log out and delete the cache file in your program files folder every now and then.

The gameplay is good, the graphics are amazing but the general mood and atmosphere of the game is way to Hollywood-ic for my taste.

There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

I'm interested in your review when you finish it. I also thought the narrative was compelling.

Unfortunately is seem like it's not coming any time soon.

 

Just started playing Planetside 2, not to bad so far, however the server just went down for maintenance. Might give JA:BIA a second go, stopped playing it since my install got corrupted some how.(All description text disappeared).

Played a bit of Devil May Cry on the PS2.

 

I realized how much I suck with the gamepad. It takes 15 minutes for my thumbs to start hurting from these types of games and I'm not even playing all that well.

Still hopelessly addicted to Neverwinter.  Plus, I sneak in a game of GRID 2 or Grim Dawn here and there.

The Last of Us.

 

Deserving of the heaps of praise it's getting from the press. The story isn't original, but the characters, writing and presentation more than make up for that (the prologue portion of the game is especially outstanding.) On the surface it looks like either survival horror or action depending on the context, but it's fundamentally a stealth game in terms of mechanics. Trying to engage in open combat is usually suicidal. Especially with the game's zomb-err Infected. They're legitimately a bigger threat than gun-wielding humans by virtue of their different natures (i.e. AI behavior.) If you hear a Clicker, you'd best pray you have a bottle and shiv in your inventory.

 

If it ever gets ported to PC I'll honestly buy it again just to see its environments rendered on a gaming PC. I haven't ever seen such a sublime post-apocalyptic wasteland in a game before.

I hate clickers so very much. Around 90% of my deaths so far have come at the hands of clickers. Clickers alone are easy enough to deal with as you can walk right past time as long as you go slow and stay out of their patrol routes, but a clicker or two in the middle of a pack of runners makes them considerably more dangerous as they'll often run up while you are trying to beat back the rest of the horde.

 

I'm about half way through the game so far right now. Bricks are my number one friend. They've saved my life, or at least a bullet's worth of it more times than I can count. Take care of your brick (by throwing it into the face of an enemy) and it will take care of you (by staggering the enemy for 3 seconds allowing you to beat them down). My number two friend is the shotgun. I am terrible at aiming with a controller. >_<
