So the last thread hasn’t been touched since January; I figured I’d make a new one.
I’m rotating between a few…mostly it’s Resident Evil 5. Steam says I’ve logged 12 hours into it so far.
Then I started the first Far Cry a few days ago and am enjoying it. Never had played it before now.
TripleTown is also getting a lot of my attention. Very fun casual game.
And finally, been playing Stroke of Fate: Operation Valkyrie here and there. Not bad.
I haven’t moved much…Baldur’s Gate Enhanced took a back burner to a play-through of Fallout 3 as an evil guy.
Reminds me, I need to play BGE some this weekend so I can remember what I’m doing…
Bioshock Infinite at the moment. I was playing Simcity but found I was making all my cities look basically the same so I got bored.
Funny thing is, between the bonus game I got from Sim city’s server issues and preorder bonuses I got for Bioshock I have three other games waiting in the wings: Dead Space 3 (which I played very briefly just to try it out), the new X Com (got free with Bioshock) and Borderlands 2 (got half price with the Bioshock $30 credit). Haven’t even downloaded the latter two yet.
Bioshock: Infinite at the moment like so many others.
I started Tomb Raider back when it launched, got distracted and returned to it just a couple days before B:I launched. I had originally thought I’d just sort of power through Tomb Raider to be “done” with it but I was actually enjoying it quite a bit once I got going. Bioshock still stays at the top of the gaming stack but I’ll be happy to have Tomb Raider to return to once I’m done.
I’m logging mad hours with Far Cry 3 at the moment. I find the islands they’ve created to be quite remarkable.
I slogged through most of the first island story missions before I decided to go indy on it. I first went out and clear out all the strongholds so I wouldn’t get jacked on the road every five minutes. Then I set out on missions – first finding all the lost letters, then tracking down all the relics, and finally searching for each and every treasure chest. Just last week I managed to clear out everything on the first island.
The second island started to piss me off, because those mercenaries are a hell of a lot more deadly than the pussy pirates. Then I got to the story mission where I got the mercenary costume so I can walk among them without getting blasted. Since then I’ve cleared all the lost letter, I only have two or three more relics to go find and then I’ll be able to concentrate on all the treasures. I’ve only liberated two or three strongholds though, and none of those Alpha-Beta-Whatever camps.
When I’m done with all that shit, maybe I’ll complete the story mode.
I’ve been playing this game since before Christmas, essentially, and I’m not bored with it yet.
They patched Far Cry 3 a few weeks ago so you can reset all the pirate/mercenary camps once you’ve finished the main story. That patch was a good part of what distracted me from Tomb Raider.
I had finished the game last year but then shelved it since playing on empty islands wasn’t very entertaining.
Okami for the third time, but I did not do a New Game+ this time. I’m enjoying replaying it fresh and am going for 100% completion, or at least very close.
I’ve been skipping around a ton. I was playing Baldur’s Gate Enhanced, then The Secret World for a while, one playthrough of Kingdoms of Amalur, then back to Mass Effect 3 for a bit. I thought I’d do another ME playthrough from the very beginning but whoa, the gameplay of ME1 is really hard to get used to again.
I have an eight month old, so not a whole lit at the moment. I did pick up Bioshock: Infinite as an Easter present for me and the hubs, so I’m trying to sneak that in right now. I also hav a Steam copy of Psychonaughts that I’d really like to play.
Played a bit of that last night. So thanks, I think. 
First time I’ve played anything in a fortnight or so. Been busy with other stuff on my computer.
I was playing a lot of SimCity until I got to the point where the continuing bugs (not the server issues) were bugging me, so now I’m waiting for the purported “Big Patch”. In the meantime, I’ve been playing Bioshock: Infinite as well as XCOM. Also some Dead Space 3, which I got for free as EA’s apology for SimCity’s launch issues.
Mainly SimCity, Kerbal Space Program (to paraphrase Mr. Burns, “It’s not brain surgery, it’s rocket science!”), and a handful of Facebook games (“I have one crop up to level 200, another to 150, a third to 100, and I have 2000 cans of fuel; what do you mean, I haven’t won FarmVille yet?”).
I’m back to playing Civil War Generals 2 (from the late 90s I believe.)
There are certain games I like because of their historicity, and others where the lack thereof becomes comical, and Civil War Generals 2 is one of them.
In Civil War Generals 1, battles are best fought historically: meet the opponents line, with some, but not too much, outflanking and running down fleeing or week troops. However, it had a flaw in that if you made an enemy unit flee too many times in a turn, it simply ran for it and was eliminated from the rest of that battle. So you can simply concentrate your artillery and infantry attacks and completely eliminate several enemy units a turn.
Civil War Generals 2 tried to remedy this, and if a unit was that demoralized, it simply fled to the nearest empty square and went into “fleeing” mode, from which it would eventually recover.
However, it cannot do so if you entirely surround it with your own units so that there are no empty squares to retreat to without going through one of yours. So, in trying to make the game more realistic, it is actually less realistic in that the way to really trounce your opponent is by completely surrounding them with your own units and making them surrender. Which would happen occasionally in the Civil War, but not every battle, and not with half of the bag being a very thin cavalry screen (or even artillery units!)
I had every intention to start playing Bioshock Infinite, but I’ve run into space issues on my system drive so I had to put it on hold. Stupid Steam not being capable of installing games to a different drive.
Other than that, I’ve played some Path of Exile, but I can’t quite figure out the skill tree so I have a feeling I may need to restart my character once I hit the higher difficulties.
As a side note, the first harddrive I owned was 270 MB. So I figure if I had 100 of those today, I could just about install Windows and a new game. How the hell did that happen?
Rotating between Borderlands 1 & 2, Batman: Arkham City, Assassin’s Creed 2, and Bioshock (1).
I know, I’m way behind, but I got a new computer a few months ago and bought all of those games at the same time (my old computer couldn’t handle any of them).
Bioshock Infinite right now. Have to go back to Far Cry 3 after this, also probably going to give Sim City another shot.
BioShock Infinite, Mass Effect, probably back to Borderlands 2 to finish off Sir Hammerlock’s DLC, and probably Mass Effect 3 after that.
Steam natively supports installing to different drives now. It didn’t for a long, long time but the ability was added several months ago.
Currently playing with Oblivion. Mastered the fighters guild and mage guild, halfway through the thieves guild, then I’ll do the assassins guild. It sure is easy to steal the Arch-Mage’s staff(theives guild assignment) when I’m already become the Arch-Mage. 
I went to my room, and there it was sitting on my desk.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to play this, but it won’t run on my computer.
