Expeditions: Conquistador

 

The way I set up the party this time means that I can actually explore without my party starving. Been exploring the map but not actually getting into many battles. I wonder if the game has any time limits? I hope not, because I haven't completed many quests on this island.

[SophosTheWise]

I'm playing Arx Fatalis and Baldur's Gate right now. Well, these are my "main games" at the moment. I jump into other games, of course. Little bit of Dark Mod, little bit of Dungeon Siege, little bit of Arcanum.

There is only one mission that has a time limit. The rest is pretty much at your pace.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut

 

The DLC weapons seem well integrated so far. They're not just dumped into your inventory with a bunch of cash at the start of the game. Though they're easy enough to find in that first mission.

 

I don't remember my system performing this miserably with the original though. I basically have it on the lowest possible settings and I may be barely hitting 30.

[Lexx]

Wut, is it out already? I thought release is 25th or something.

 

/Edit: Steam says "This game will unlock in approximately 1 day and 16 hours".

The temptation to buy the early access to Spacebase DF-9 grew intolerable, so I went and got it even though I was perfectly aware of it's lightyears from being finished status. And even in it's basically not even a tech demo state I'm loving it!

 

It does need a lot of work still, no doubt about it. Majority of the features they are planning aren't in yet and those that are can be a bit buggy. My security team I send to check out a nearby derelict ship died because they couldn't find a way in it and ran out of oxygen

the waiting game . I thought i could stay away from Dark Souls 2 beta  and then they put it on PSN+ in Europe. Practically forced me to dl it. :S

Hoping to get some Bloodbowl or Borderlands 2 in this evening after about 1800GMT.

Comparing them to JFSOCC's screens... obviously every cheater in the world plays easy, and the world statistics are a joke.

* I did a whole bunch less missions and alien kills, yet the same amount of deaths (in easy vs. classic of all things) :/

* I somehow made battles last longer than him on classic (what the?)

 

On to Dragon Commander!

Ok, so I bought Assassin's Creed Revelations, but I had never played Brotherhood.  I didn't want to miss the story, so I am watching the youtube movie version of Brotherhood to get caught up.  It feels a bit silly, but I really didn't want to run around Italy anymore after finishing AC2.  

 

The movie is 3 hours long, so I'll start on Revelations after I finish it tonight.

I'd say Brotherhood is better than Revelations. And it's not the same parts of Italy as in AC2, specifically you're stuck in Rome rather than wandering between Tuscany, Forli, and Venice. It's biggest problem is just that it's so much shorter than AC2 was, but that's overall remedied with the "synch" %, and the ability to replay the game. 

 

Revelations was a bit of a letdown IMO. Shorter still, and the game being to split up into two stories that Ezio is on that don't interact except when the devs go "Oh dear, we need to link these!"

[Hurlshort]

I hope Revelations is shorter, AC2 was too long.  I watched the movie version of Brotherhood and was happy I did, I simply didn't want to run around Italy anymore, even if it was Rome.  So far I'm in some snowy fortress and I'm enjoying the change of scenery.  My plan is to buy AC3 during a winter Steam Sale and play that after Revelations.

[Calax]

That'd be a good plan. I still think that once you're able to you go pick up Bloodlines. I think it's overall the best game so far, but then again Black Flag has been seeing some impressive publicity behind it and seems to be coming together solidly from what I've heard.

 

But then again, this is Ubisoft, who's marketing crew is either phenominal, or really terrible depending on the item being marketed.

Congrats man! now after Dragon Commander I expect you to succeed on normal

[Katphood]

Just finished The Last of Us. It took me some 17 hours or so but I enjoyed every nanosecond of it. This game came pretty close to being perfect in my opinion.

[GhostofAnakin]

Finished Splinter Cell: Blacklist on the realistic difficulty.  You people should be proud of me.  I usually wuss out and play the easiest settings only.  I'm even going to attempt professional setting after I take a bit of a break from it.

Playing a little mix of X3: Terran Conflict and Borderlands 2 while I wait for BF4 and X: Rebirth.

[mute688]

Bought "How To Survive" on steam this morning.  Played only an hour or so but enjoying it so far.  It's a zombie survival action/rpg game, but with isometric view instead of first or third person view.  The item crafting is quite good.  You need to discover recipes for items, from armour to weapons (bows, crossbows, home made shotguns, etc.) to first aid, or you can use trial and error to discover recipes on your own.  Kovac is an interesting character also.

Good call, I may fire up some X3:TC this weekend myself.

 

In the meantime, I'm all about Euro Truck Simulator 2 when I'm at home on my lappy.  I'm high enough level now that I now have access to some pretty decent trucks.  I've got a MAN 6x2 with the raised sleeper and 480 hp, 2300 torque.  It does chew up gas fairly quickly, but it's a beast pulling heavy loads up inclines and it drives so silky smooth at high speed.  I also have a 480 hp Renault Magnum 4x2 that my hired driver runs.  I'm starting to expand my business into multiple drivers, though I don't see myself ever getting larger than a couple of garages and less than 10 total drivers.  I'm just not looking to do that much micromanaging.

 

While on the go I'm rocking Final Fantasy V on my Android.  That won't be changing any time soon.  FF5 is a 50+ hour game, and when you're playing less than an hour a day in 10-15 minute chunks, that will go a long way.  I doubt I'll get bored of it any time soon either, on account of the game being so awesome.  I miss Square, the real Square, a lot.  Damn you, Enix, for devouring its soul and spitting it out.

[Humanoid]

Finished Honest Hearts. It's, eh, okay. Pretty to be sure, the kind of thing I'd like to see more in the genre, as opposed to every square inch of the world being bombed out rubble. But it was an uphill battle from the start as I've never really liked the concept of mostly-stereotypical tribal societies in future settings, and ultimately I could sympathise with neither of the two leaders' agendas. I guess I really am a sneering imperialist, even though I didn't actually take the perk. And then the MMO-esque fetch quests and simplistic "kill X" quests and the result is really just a standard sidequest just with an alternate landscape. I mean ultimately, there's wasn't any reason for the hoop-jumping when in terms of the narrative, you could have just marched into the hostile tribe's territory and taken them all out singlehandedly, thus solving everyone's problems in a fraction of the time. (Also, I have a problem with the alliteration causing me to say 'honest' with a hard H sound. Yeah. )

 

And the Narrows. Oh god, the Narrows.

 

 

Anyway - what's next? Dead Money or Old World Blues? At 30 I'm pretty much overlevelled for everything so that shouldn't be a factor.

Old World Blues is the best of the DLC's in my opinion, but it's better to play Dead Money first and then go for Old World Blues, because of all the little story references and stuff.
