Maybe I'll finally finish Icewind Dale 2
What Game Are You Playing?
Funny, it just wanted to mention I am playing this game, but find hardly any enjoyment in it. It has great admosphere, and a lot of work has gone into this title, yet it's simply not a lot of fun to play. It's way to easy, the story nor the characters are very memorable, but the setting itself may be the biggest problem, it's just not a very rewarding experience after the ooh and aah of the visuals wear off.Kipi wrote:Not much time to play, thanks for six days and average of 52 hours per week -work schedule.
But when I find the time, mostly Dwarf Fortress, at times some muds and roguelikes.
Is it as good game as many claims it to be? Have been considering about buying it when I have more time to actual gaming.
On a better note: I just finished Resonance of Fate after 60 hours, and started with Arcanum on the PC, I think one of the very few PC RPGs of that era I never played.

Still messing around with Dragon Age, and I just reinstalled The Witcher.... Now I'm trying to decide which I consider the better game *grin*.... which is giving rise to some intriguing fan fiction ideas... :devil:

Currently toying around with Fallout 3 (which I borrowed from a friend) and its mods. As for the game, in simple terms, it reminds me of Oblivion with a Fallout skin. Story seem better written compared to the former, plus much better VOs and no more npcs being voiced by two people, even though Liam Nesson's vo is rather lacklustre.
As for game performance, it's erratic. Sometimes it's smooth, sometimes it stutters in places, especially when it load new areas. Graphical options is troublesome to deal with, particularly when most of the important options are used in the launcher and a stripped down version is used in-game. Very similar to Dragon Age's graphical options.
I didn't particularly like the way how the dialogue is designed, as it still reminds me a lot of Oblivion, despite the writing being miles better than it. Not to mention how the gameplay feels like Oblivion with guns.

Halflife 2, Ragnarok, Civilization 3, The Longest Journey, Planescape Torment and Morrowind. Seeing as how I can't play anything new, I have turned to great variety.

Feeling a bit strange to come back here after some time of, well, absence.
Been playing Guild Wars for the last 2 years mostly. Did almost all the content, got bored of title grinding that comes for the MMO force. Nice experience being there overall, and it got me hooked to MMO's.
So, beside Guild Wars 2, I'm looking at the SWTOR development, and thought about replaying KOTOR 1 & 2.
Cheers Banshees, good to see you all still in place!

In the words of the ancients, one should make his decision within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break through to the other side.
I admit, I frequently play World of Warcraft.
For the past month I have been delving, once again, into the Final Fantasy series, particularly VII and IX.
Just yesterday, I started a new file on Fable: The Lost Chapters, which had picked up a little too much dust for my liking.
Next? Maybe The Legend of Dragoon.

Currently playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. Better ported than the first game, which is a bad port, but still feels like a console game, which isn't surprising.

Playing Modern Warfare 3 at the moment. Single player is much better than the second game and it was satisfying when compared to the latter, even though I liked it as well. Hanging Makarov never felt better.
Aside from that, I am also playing with RAGE, which reminds me a lot of Borderlands, albeit with a bigger budget and a more convincing game world. Cities and towns have a sense of life as opposed to those in Borderlands where they resemble ghost towns. Not to mention that the weapons do have impact and it doesn't feel like a game that is meant to be played co-operatively when compared to the latter.

Currently into Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.
Next to that also doing some The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and The Sims 3 and Need for Speed Undergroud 2 now and then. Might also continue with Two Worlds II now that pirates of the flying fortress is out (and purchased it).
