[Game] The "what are you currently playing?" thread #2

[Cyper]

I recently tried to play Fallout: NV agian. I leveled up. The game crashed. It happens all the time.
And I love fallout and all its awesome mods. It worked well before release (well it didnt crash ALL the time at least. :*(

 

[Grabbed_by_the_Spetsnaz]

Trying to get BF3 running without crashing every three minutes, trying to get Shogun 2 working, trying to find a game on MW3 that doesn't lag or disconnect every three seconds.

Between that and banging mu F**king head against the wall, I've been playing some obscure game called E.Y.E divine cyromancy, it's alright I suppose.

 

[DraKon2k]

Yay!

 

[Fedorov]

Did you complete Demons Souls?

 

[DraKon2k]

Did you complete Demons Souls?

Nope But once I'm finished with Infamous 1 & Bayonetta I'll continue with Demon's Souls.

*edit* just played some HL2DM because i had good memories, and damn I had 10 times more fun with this than with your average cod clone killstreak bs mp

Got Titan Quest Gold for $5 on Steam, and downloaded the fan patch and a Masteries/Rebalancing mod.

Is it just me, or is Titan Quest still like the most repetitive, bland Diablo clone ever made? I think I've played 4 hours and I feel like all I've done is walk through grassy field after grassy field, killing Satyrs and Boars and occasionally some Undead.

I keep waiting for something interesting to happen, some interesting change of scenery, a cool dungeon....anything really. I don't even know if I'm through Act 1 yet, there's no sense of pacing or anything. You're just ambling along, area after area, through hordes of guys, because "ah ****, Greece is in trouble."

I played about 2 minutes of it. Killed a couple of Satyrs and tried to talk to some dude but the conversation was boring so I quit...

In fairness though, it's probably not a bad game. My brother and a friend of mine both loved it.
I would have loved to play this in coop with someone but apparently she hates my guts. Literally and figuratively, lol. So now the game is really worthless to me. Can't stand the sight of it.
I don't think I could even play Age of Empires 1 again though, without her, and I used to love that game.

Playing Gothic 2 with TNotR for the upteenth time.
Despite the bugs, Gothic 1 and 2 with the expansion are easily the best RPGs I know. Morrowind comes close but that's it.
The only thing that really used to bug me about Gothic 2 were the hardware requirements but now that I can play it with maxed out view distances and it still runs smooth as butter, even in the city, it's pure, unadulterated adventuring bliss.

I really liked Titan Quest but by the time I finished greece I was always already so damn bored that I quit lol. Was like this at least 3 times.

Also Murphy, you germans and your gothic series

Playing:

Half-Life 1(screw Black Mesa: Source, never gonna come out anyways)
Skyrim
Demon's Souls
Call of Duty 3

I got it a few years ago, and it was one of the two games that led to me upgrading my rig. The other being TES IV.

I liked it, and the latest plays are just me running bosses/the secret area for loot to complete my sets.

Also Defiler'd my characters to hell and back, so all balance is gone.
That's probably why i don't play it any more.


On a different note, i just finished CoP.

Spoiler!

I didn't find Cardan's friends, and so he went looking himself and nearly died. I feel batman

Shouldn't you Austrians love it too?

It's just, in comparison to D2, Act 1 has gone on FOREVER. It's probably the mod that increased the spawn volumes, but still. I was seriously starting to wonder if the entire game was just satyrs, boars and grasslands.

Having a great time with Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. Just finished the one russian mission where you have to kill 2 generals. Climb up on a radio tower 2km away, headshot the first one, watch the second one run away to the limousine, watch him get in, boom, car bomb goes up. If I hadn't (silently) killed the guard in front of the radio tower I would've had a silent assassin rating. Love it. And at the same time saddens me to see how Hitman: Absolution is shaping up to be nothing like that, judging by the screens etc.

Yeah well that was what I had expected I'd be playing. I do play HL1 as well currently, but haven't had time for Skyrim, haven't found care for Demon's Souls and CoD3 bored me so I was looking for something more challenging than your average shoot 495894 bad guys in a linear level game. Then i checked my steam games-i-purchased-in-a-sale-but-never-played list and found Hitman II.

 

[Fedorov]

I'm re-playing The Witcher 2 cause I got hyped with the newest trailer.
