Talk About What You're Currently Playing

[saibot216]

Thought it would be nice to see what everyone is playing and what they think about it.

I used to be real resistant to digital download stuff like Steam and GOG, but I got over that and started purchasing games. Well I've been doing this since Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon came out, but I recently got Shogo and I am loving it. There is no background music, which is a little strange to me (maybe I'll make some and mod it in, heh), but otherwise it's a very welcome challenge.

Playing:
- Total Annihilation
- Baldur's Gate 2 + ToB
- Fallout 2 (if I manage to patch it to not be too fast on the world map)
- Rage of Mages 2
- Hunted, the Demon Forge
- Baldies
- G.O.L.E.M.
- Shadowman
- Quest for Glory 1-5

And I think I'll make Gorky 17 for all alternative endings (I mean where you get separated from the addition members).

How is Shadowman?

[TotalAnarchy]

Playing Cities in Motion and I'm totally addicted to it. Honestly my transport lines are a mess, and sometimes there are many traffic jams, but I manage to stay afloat financially.

[twillight]

How is Shadowman?

Is cool. Using the GoG version, runs smooth. The important part will be in the Temple of Fire (I think), there the visual effects will accumlate.

I make my own map to it.

Additional goal is to unlock all secrets.

But as my hand is full of games, stuff to watch, a thing to translate, and finding job, I'm not exactly advance in any of my games fast.

Playing The Witcher - Enhanced Edition.

I'm enjoying it very much. There are a few things that could've been done better, but it's still a very good game.

Also started Rome II: Total War, but then tried The Witcher and got hooked on it.

Europa Universalis 3 - Destiny Wind

Playing with Serbia (defeat Ottomans and vassalize everything else) and Byzantium (conquer everything and convert to Orthodox) but it takes waaaaaay too much time. I would like to try out with Ragusa, Sicily, Mongol Khanat, Incas, Timurids, one Irish nation, one Japanese nation and possibly one minor from HRE. But most likely I won't finish even the current games, let alone play all this.

[Panthro]

Currently playing:

Spelunky: Fun, challenging, platforming type of game. I'm terribad at it most of the time though, not sure I'll ever make it to the end (because of permadeath).

Game Dev Tycoon: Wonderful sim game about being a game developer from the mid eighties onwards. Really fun, but could use a few tweaks here and there.

[Scatty]

Right now Planescape: Torment. After that maybe Baldur's Gate 2 or Fallout 2, not sure yet, might take a while due to lack of time right now.
These two things should mostly help with the fast movement on Fallout 2 map:
Fallout 2 Restoration Project (http://www.nma-fallout.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1097)
Encounter Booster (http://www.nma-fallout.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=620)
Manually editing the worldmap.txt file should help to adjust things a bit better, if necessary.

Trying to finish Witcher 2

[Tomekk]

I see many people got hooked on the Witcher... personally just finished the first, now starting the second. :D

[Smiling Spectre]

I am playing Civilization 5 with last addon - very dull Portugal game, as I am at island, and no one wants to attack me. And I am never attack anyone first, that's the principle.
...Well, rather "played", as now it crashes every time on the same place. 486 turns. :/ Wrote to support, hope, they know how to fix it. :/

Also, playing casually Marvel Puzzle Quest. Game can be very frustrating, as it's F2P. But for casual 15-minute sessions it's smooth and fun. :)

Also, I am waiting next Starbound patch. They promised to introduce new character format that will exclude wipes.

And some Desktop Dungeons. Even if it disappointed me after all this betas. :/ It was fun and fast roguelike, now it's frustrating puzzle, each single level. :( I didn't expect it. I hope, I'll get use to it.

[saibot216]

Still plugging away at Shogo. According to a walkthrough I had to reference, I am almost done with the game. So far it's been a pretty fun game, and oddly enough I've been sticking with the first automatic gun the game gives you. It's quick and efficient. After messing with some compatibility settings, I also found out that there is, in fact, background music. Good good.
Once I finish this I think I'll hit either Aquanox or Anachronox.

[saibot216]

Been playing Verdun. I absolutely love this game and for once I am not awful at a multiplayer shooter. Everything about this game is so fantastic and it's only in beta.

On the other hand, I've been playing Ghost Recon and I cannot get passed the first mission. The training mode did not prepare me for this.

[TotalAnarchy]

At the moment I am playing Beyond Divinity. The game is not up to Divine Divinity's level. There's a good dose of bugs and crashes. Managing the inventory and trading is cumbersome, while the quest journal is not that helpful. The game is still interesting with strange plot elements, and the combat mechanics are great.

[Jironobou]

I'm playing three games above anything right now.
I'm finally going through Morrowind's main quest, because I never got around to finishing it.
I'm playing Remember Me, which I got on my PS3 through PS+, it's got some neat things, but the major gameplay is a bit derivative of Assassin's Creed/Uncharted in terms of climbing, and the Batman Arkham series with the combat system.
The third game is Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity on my 3DS, it's kind of a roguelike, pretty fun.

[saibot216]

Picked up Rainbow Six Lockdown, and despite the metacritic score, I think it's a great game.
I'm currently too scared to try Ghost Recon.

[twillight]

I only have spare times nowdays for flashgames.

Reached #780 on Armorgames' HeroBoard from 1,382,068 players.

[Capo]

Started Max Payne 3, not so good..

[Pex]

I'm giving The Witcher a bit of a break. No particular reason, I just tend to do that :smile2:

I'm playing Knights of Honour on PC - one of a rare medieval games where you can play as Serbia to start with and then actually do well :p A very good game, especially considering the time it was made. What I don't like is that you can lead limited number of units in battle and build only limited number of buildings in your city/province.

And on Xbox, I play Skyrim. Just too good!

[Capo]

Skyrim on console, what a mistake :palm:


Im playing I have no mouth a must scream, interesting.

[saibot216]

I saw that Takedown: Red Sabre was $1 on Steam, so I got that. I have to disagree with all the hate that this game is getting, I quite like it.

[Pex]

Skyrim on console, what a mistake :palm:


Can't help it, my PC is getting too old for games like that. Need an upgrade, but that will have to wait.

[saibot216]

Started and beat Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh.
Such a fun game :D

Did you managed to smash the mirror?
That's my least-executed part of all.

[jamotide]

Tropico 4! Did not expect it, but I must say it improves much on the original and is even more fun.

[saibot216]

Did you managed to smash the mirror?
That's my least-executed part of all.

I did! I was surprised how quickly I went through the game!
Next on my adventure game list is Spaceship Warlock, but I am currently playing Arx Fatalis, which I am really enjoying!

[Spiritspawn]

Just gone through the Monkey Island series again recently.... I love 1, 2 and 3.... Soooooo funny and Inever get tired of them!

[Panthro]

Replaying FTL: Faster Than Light, but with the advanced edition extra bits.

I still really like it, but feel like I will never complete it. I just can't manage a winning strategy!

[Mighty Midget]

Ok got talked into KSP and got it as a gift, meaning I probably should play it more. It is honestly the first game in ages that genuinely peaked my interest with some interesting and fun maths involved if you're a nerd, or no maths if you're not particularely nerdy. My calculator runs through batteries at an astonishing rate.

So, KSP or Kerbal Space Program, if you never heard of it before is all about sending little Kerbals into space by designing rockets that hopefully won't explode and that _hopefully_ will get the job done.

One of the most impressive things about this game is how this one solar system with a bunch of planets and moons go seemingly seemless from a detailed ground when you're jogging around on the surface to watching the planet or moon from 500km altitude. No loading screen between ground and orbit. It works wonderfully.

Anyone else into KSP?

[DemoneNero]

I just beated "Rage Of Mages" :)
