@HBMC I guess it's just called "playing a crappy game" or "damn I wish I didn't buy this".

Speaking of ragequitting. Getting pretty close to rage quitting Metro 2033.

Hahaha, I knew you would Kamikaze.

That game makes me sad. All the sads, even.

Also, when a game disappoints me to the point that I stop playing it?
I say it has Too Human'd.

Heard nothing but bad things about one. Which is too bad because it looked like it could have been good.

Started playing Sleeping Dogs (recommended by Ross Watson, of all people). It's a lot of fun. It has all the usual GTA problems - the AI drives perfectly and cars handle (as Yahtzee would say) like there's another heavier car strapped to the top of them, but it's loads of fun.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on WiiU.
Luigi's Mansion 2 on 3DS.
Replaying Tales of Vesperia on 360.

I am also failing college

Still playing Dragon Age and wanting to beat Alister's head into the ground for being such a whiny little gakker. Trying to do my evil playthrough and I've managed to alienate or kill 5 team mates

Trying to figure out what ending I should actually have for this that would suit my character (who isn't best pleased at being kicked out of her clan and then conscripted against her will);




My preferred choice would have been

Mostly ME3 and SPAZ (Space Pirates and Zombies), with a side of DA2 and Mark of the Ninja.

Do many of the decisions in Dragon Age carry over into DA2? Just wondering if its like the Mass Effect series.

No connection AFAIK.

Bah!! Oh well, even less incentive to pick it up then

There's connection. It's just mostly irrelevant.

Like Sandal's father talking about the Warden, or Anders' history if you played Awakening.

Conversation pieces at best. Nothing that actually impacts the DA2 story, unlike the Mass Effect series.

Another trilogy I don't need to get sucked into then, my wallet thanks you

Ya, but your decisions don't carry over in any way right?

Not really that I could see.

Mind you: Most of the reason is that there's a decent chunk of time (5 years or so) after Dragon Age: Origins that makes up the bulk of Dragon Age II.

Been playing the Company of Heroes 2 beta. It's pretty fun. Though the mortars are pretty OP/annoying.

Beat Metro 2033. This could have been a good game but it wasn't. Needed some more time in the oven. I can not recall having spent more time wandering around trying to figure out were to go.

Now I'm imagining an American after action report from WWII:

"At 0933 we faced down elements of the Panzer Grenadier 7th and 8th Battalions. They had set up three (3) MG42 positions across the ridge. Bravo Company was ordered to use direct fire bazooka attacks to dislodge the German position. They were successful, although took several casualties (6 WIA/1 KIA) from enemy mortar fire. Mortars are OP and should be totally nerfed in the next patch."

Well only the Russians and Germans are in the game, it's set on the Ostfront/Eastern Front. So either it'd be a German or Russian after action report.

Grenade launchers are truely OP. That squad can whipe a whole Grenadier/Conscript squad with one blow. While an incendary bombardment doesn't even do that. On top of that they are cheap for Russians and they could spam them early game. It's like hitting your head against a brick wall if someone does that.

Bioshock Infinite. Beautiful, beautiful game, it's having the same impact Bioshock had on me.

I suppose in their defense they used a lot of the DLC to bridge the gap, and not all the endings were as straight forward as Mass Effect's

Cool. I'm jonesing to play that one but I've restricted myself from buying any games until I finish the ones I have.

Started playing Uncharted Waters Online. If you were a fan of the series back in the day they actually did the series total justice in MMO form. At first glance it coems off as "just another Korean grind MMO with pay to win", but it's actually deceptively good. Totally captures the feel of the original.

Yeah I'm in the same boat, I still have Hitman lying about unplayed, Episode 1 of Dead Rising was downloaded free on April 1st, and my wife and I are just getting back into Halo 4 online so there'll be no new games for a bit.

Speaking of which, up next: Halo 4.

I have a chunk of the Halo 4 achievements, I just haven't worked out if the Lone Wolf one is worth the effort (I'm up to the 4th Chapter solo)

Playing through NHL 13 Be A Pro, switching between my Goalie (whom I'm terrible with) and my Right Wing Sniper... My win loss records on both are terrible... :-\

And BioShock Infinite... and once I fix my graphics card issues... lots more games

I picked up Sang Froid this weekend from Steam. So far I really like it. It's a strategy game where basically you play a lumberjack that is fending off attacks from wolves and werewolves. You setup all of your traps during the day to survive the night time onslaught, and use strategy to it's fullest simply because the bad guys are just plain more powerful than you in a straight fight.

The art direction and story are very unique and well done IMO. On the plus side the cost of entry is under 15 bucks so overall its a deal.

I was a bit confused about Steam's description. It talks about customization, but it seems to make it clear that you don't really customize your character so much as you customize his skills and stats?

And weapons. But that's more of a 'grind for better gear' thing.

Hm. Disappointing.
