What are you playing now?

[GhostofAnakin]

Not sure if it's a glitch or what, but I was able to recruit a Level 45 pawn to my party even though I was only Level 16 at the time.  Usually, the only pawns available to me when I go into that rift thing were pawns at my current level.  But lo and behold, a Level 45 was sitting there, so naturally I had to add her.

 

Speaking of pawns, how do you know if someone has recruited your pawn?  I've put my pawn up for recruitment, but I haven't noticed any differences (ie. no gain in equipment/money/levels/whatever).

Well do you have any friends playing ? Your friend's pawns are always free.  And you only know when the dismiss your pawn, the next time you sleep you get the news. Maybe it even brings you an item along with quest and enemy experience.

Been playing Skyrim for a few weeks and started Dawnguard last night, the plot appears to be Bethesda at their worst but I've got hours to go yet, pretty new locations and crossbows will get me through.

Been playing Agarest: Generations of War

Gaaaah...

As if Bioware romances weren't bad enough, this game has romance as an integral part of the campaign. As you play over a number of generations, each generation you have to get hitched to some girl in the party to have a kid with to play as in the next generation. So you can't get around having to choose who to get to like you best. Especially as apparently, the more they like you the better the stats of the next character...

Be glad you are not a fan Bioware "alternative" romances, else you would be unable to finish the game

Space Colony, seems like it'll be micro-hell

[Keyrock]

Playing Drakensang: The River of Time and having a grand ol' time so far.  The game seems very story and dialogue heavy, which I THOROUGHLY support, even if some of the dialogue and voice acting is hilariously cheesy (some of it is surprisingly decent too).  Heck, I'm liking it better than Dragon Age: Origins (it's the game that seems the most naturally comparative to it) so far, likely because it's fairly lighthearted and cheery and not all DOOM DOOM DOOM!  BLOODSPLATTER EVERYWHERE!  Of course, I'm still very early in the game so my opinion, as always, is very much subject to change.

I LPed it two years ago, but all the pics are probably gone by now.

[Tale]

Not committing to any game really. I play some Night of the Rabbit until my power supply gets noisy. Then I might play some Tales of Xillia.

 

Mostly just waiting for my copy of Virtue's Last Reward to arrive.

[Sarex]

IWD2... havent played it before and i hate every moment of it. the rest of it is fine but the DnD system just doesnt feel right... got off  the ship, met the first goblin, my 14hp lv1 fighter goes for it, it rolls a 20 and does 15 damage, my fighter dies from the first attack of the first enemy of the game. now ,after many reloads, im at the goblin stronghold

 

Go in the options check the heart of fury box and prepare for the butt hurt. XD

[Majek]

Dark Souls, a new build, SL 100, Obsidian sword ( 20 str and 16 dex ) plus 2x sunlight blade ( so 30 faith  and 12 att ), 40 end and 45 vitality.

[Labadal]

Finally beat Expeditions: Conquistador. Managed to avoid any form of mutiny and got every member of my group home with me to Spain. Sometimes, it felt like the computer was cheating. Rangers constantly hitting me from the other side of the map was a usual occurrence. Ihad that luck twice, once against a very strong opponent.

A buddy of mine played DD awhile ago, but I'm not sure how far he got into the game or how high he leveled up.  He's the only one on my friends list who I'm aware of that's played Dragon's Dogma.

[Majek]

Well go check the info on that pawn, it should tell you who it's master is. If you can't see that in the menus, then go back to the rift and try there.

[GhostofAnakin]

And now I'm stuck on a quest.  Some kid named Pip is on a roof that I can't seem to find a way to access, and I need to talk to him to move the quest along.

[Majek]

Just go buy their debt then. Why would you want to evict some poor family at all, you monster. edit: Just j/k of course. That's just the alernate solution. Who knows which one is better in the long run.

If you can't pay up, you don't get my sympathy.  The family's just lucky I don't hack apart their son for making me walk all over town talking to each family member. 

[Malcador]

Finished off Strike Suit Zero, game was ok. I guess I hated the combat as I was doing it with KB&M rather than a stick.  Defense missions are annoying in that it seems everything is up to you as your wingmen are useless and the AI is savvy enough to know to primary you at all times.  But the mecha suit does wreck stuff (blinding explosions, yay..) so it was fun over all

[AGX-17]

Deuce Ecks: Director's Cut. Still haven't reached the first boss so jury is out. I don't remember these hacking grenades being in the original game, though.

[Labadal]

Beat GTA V. It had its flaws but I consider it the best game in the series. Non-ridicilous checkpoints, shooting that is better than the other GTAs. The world was mostly fun to explore, the main cast was good and the soundtrack was good.

[Hassat Hunter]

It's biggest flaw, no PC version.

Until they FIX that, a 0/10 from me

[GhostofAnakin]

Dragon's Dogma takes me an hour just to do one quest, mainly because of the walking across the map.  It doesn't help that the exact same enemies spawn in certain areas, forcing me to fight them in order to get past that section.

The game is frustrating for the first few hours, but don't give up because the final boss fight and the ending is simply unforgettable.

[Guest Slinky]

Picked up Euro Truck Simulator 2 from steam sale out of curiosity. It's surprisingly fun, possibly mostly because of the internet radio feature. I got sick of the short ass song lists of local radio channels long ago.

 

Popped in UK, rarely I have seen something as sick and perverse as left side traffic, it's not everyday that I feel pure horror playing a game

[Hurlshort]

Played a fantastic mission in Xcom where a whaling ship was infested with Chryssalids, and they kept pouring out of the whale carcass.  It was really well set up.  The great thing was I had to have one soldier run up to the control room, and I covered her with snipers on the docks while she moved.  It was intense.
