Sorry, that’s blocked for me at work - I’ll try to remember to look at it at home, I’m quite prepared to be contradicted as I’m no expert in this field!
I’m in a replaying (slightly) older games phase right now, so it’s Dragon Age II, to see if I like it more this time, and Dark Souls, because my controllers haven’t been thrown out the window in a few months and I think they miss the outdoors.
Mainly playing a lot of League of Legends and Doom (just started mapping, so that’s adding more playing time). Still need to finish of Fall of Cybertron and have a huge stack of games in my backlog. Trying to avoid getting back in SC2 multiplayer. Need to decide if I should pick up Bioshock Infinite or not - it’s getting rave reviews, but I never really got past the first couple areas in the first Bioshock.
Second Life Gor and Mechwarrior. Mostly Second Life Gor, but Mechwarrior is great fun too.
Play online games is my hobby and currently playing Angry Birds and NFS games online at my home.
Let me recap what you said:
Bioshock infinite… Close to the end…
It’s like “Final Fantasy 14”…
Either change the name or stick to your guns, people. 
That said, my life has gotten way to complicated to devote time to gaming (Which makes me sad).
But on the oft chance I do have time, I’m not GAMING GAMING. I’ve been playing MTG 2013 on xbox a lot recently… It makes me want to get back into MTG, but then I remember how much i enjoy keeping my money and not spending $200 for a single card that will make my deck unbeatable for the next week until WOTC declare the card unusable in Tournament play…
Arg. I need to hit the lottery so this shit won’t bother me…
I’m currently in the middle of the latest Tomb Raider, which is great fun if a bit overly shootery - the shotgun is satisfying enough to get me through, though.
If you count “currently playing” as “have not finished the main plot”, however, then there’s also:
Assassin’s Creed 3: The Tyranny of King Washington (DLC content)
Skyrim
Crackdown
InFamous 2
Mirror’s Edge
The Cave
Oblivion
Far Cry 3
Fallout 3: Brotherhood of Steel (DLC content)
Sleeping Dogs
I’m also playing through Just Cause 2 and Discworld 2 a second time and trying a high chaos runthrough of Dishonored.
I miss free time 
I picked up both Civilization V and Tropico 4 recently. It’s surprising how much Civ has changed since the original and how much Tropico hasn’t.
I’m not so much “playing” the new Fire Emblem: Awakening game, as I am being utterly and completely consumed by it. The game is fucking amazing. Simply the absolute best tactical RPG ever made, approaching one of the best games ever made (though I am not done with the main game so I’m holding off such bold claims for now).
I would say it is an absolute must own for any 3DS owners out there. Even if you normally don’t like tactical RPGs I think you should give it a try, they’ve really made it more accessible with a casual/easy mode.
I just finished Bioshock (Original Recipe) this morning. Eh.
I mean, I like it better than most games, as I actually finished it and I don’t usually do that. Atmosphere, awesome. Story, pretty good. But it just didn’t have that whatever it is that makes a game amazing to me.
Indeed. Bioshock is one of the most over-praised video games of all time. If you go in thinking that it’s going to be a pretty cool atmospheric linear-corridor shooter, then you’ll probably get what you expect. But if you go in thinking it’s a video game that redefines everything and is just one of the best things in existence, you’ll be sadly disappointed. Frankly, it was one of the most disappointing games ever and I thought that the ending was frankly insulting.
Still, as you said, better than most games on its own merits.
HL2 would like a word with you.
Started I Am Alive, immediately disliked it. Annoying visuals (grey & bloom are the color palette), clumsy controls and eye-rolling game play of the “You can scale a suspended bridge support and hang from your fingers to travel to the other side, but climbing over the hood of the car in your path is impossible” style nature. After about 30-45 minutes, I wasn’t finding any redeeming features so I guess I’ll shelve it.
Well, my wife and I have a toddler, so I don’t game like I used to.
That being said, at the moment, I’m still playing Battlefield 3 multiplayer and enjoying the End Game DLC. I also have X-Com installed, Civ 5 installed, and Iron Brigade installed. I also have Far Cry 3, but primarily for on-line co-op play with some friends, and maybe some multiplayer. I’m not too interested in the one-player game.
I am about 2/3 through Dead Space II and stalled out at the birth of our son, so I need to pick that up and finish it so I can get rolling on Dead Space III at some point. I also have a copy of Mass Effect 2 that I’ve never installed. And finally, I need to finish up Red Dead Redemption sometime. I never did finish Fallout: New Vegas before I had to wipe my HD and reinstall Windows.
(That’s my problem with sandbox games- I roam around and do side quests and random stuff and then am either bored by the storyline quests because they’re too easy, or just get bored with the game before I get back to them.)
I’m a few years behind with games right now. I just finished Left 4 Dead 2 and am going back through the first one. I’m still spending plenty of hours on Team Fortress 2 though and since I finally decided to stop being cheap and spend a few dollars on it I can now get niftier weapons. I just have the horrible luck of always seeming to get strange Scout items and that’s my least favorite class.
When I heard that they were shutting down LucasArts* it made me want to play through Outlaws again but I can’t find the CD! Guess that means it’s time to clean the office. I can still listen to the soundtrack in my head . . .
*Now the game will never get an update version!
I am loving this game. I put off playing it for a long time because I don’t generally care for first person shooters; but there was nothing out there that I was willing to pay full price for; so I picked up Far Cry 3 on Amazon. The second island is definitely much tougher than the first island. I think I’ll go back to the first island and claim the remaining strong holds (I think I only have one left), pick up the medical side missions… well basically complete everything on the first island before continuing the missions on the new island. Great game.
I think I may just not like rails shooters very much. I mean, I enjoyed finding audio diaries and all, but I found myself missing games like Red Dead Redemption where there’s also other stuff to do and a wider world.
Also I got so fucking sick of hacking.
So is Far Cry 3 an open world setup? How varied are the missions? I thought it was just your average shooter, so I’ve given the series a miss.
It’s open world in that you can wander largely wherever you want. If you want to claim every available enemy camp with your pistol before progressing the main plot you can (it’s be inadvisable but nothing is technically stopping you). There’s also little collectables such as totems or WWII-era letters to find in inconvenient places throughout the world for people who enjoy that sort of thing.
There’s a few plot-based locations that may either be closed off to you or continually respawn since you’re supposed to fight them at a specific point in the game.
Missions are pretty much all “Go kill something”. There’s game hunting and assassination missions where they dictate how you do it (“Kill the white tiger with the bow located at the hunting shack” or “Kill my wife’s brother with a machete”) but you’ll largely be killing things. There are a few other missions that have you fetching & returning things, playing poker or even making a decision to let someone live with a stern talking to or die. Most are killing based though.
It’s a fun game though. I very much enjoyed it.
Just finished Infamous 2 over the weekend. And by “finished”, I mean I got the “complete 100% of available achievements” trophy – the first time I’ve ever done that with a PS3 game.
