Thoroughly enjoying the new Civ5 expansion.

A friend and I once played Max Payne from start to finish, swapping each level. We started at around 9pm at night. When we finished I turned to him to congratulate him and was shocked that the sun was rising. It was just after 6am.

There was a pause and then I said "I should probably drive you home...". We didn't mean to do that either. It just sorta... happened.

Might and magic 6 the steam edition. Why i have to reinstall uplay I'll never know. Now i'ts working I'm really enjoying the old fashioned turn based play, also bought eador to get a similar fix

Rome total war : XGM , awesome mod, puts the hard into rome total war, I've never won a campaign yet and that's on medium, though i think I'm going to have to start the forced diplomacy

Has anyone made a good fantasy mod for civ 5 yet? I'm kinda not much interested in vanilla anymore.

My roommate just finished grinding through those on the PS2 Anniversary Edition. I completely forgot how unforgiving those games were...

Just got my Shadowrun Returns steam key. My prognostication foretells me calling in sick on the 26th.



in case that didn't express my enthusiasm.... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHADOWRUN RETURNS!!1

So I completed The Walking Dead.... I ... I ... dunno what to say really, ending was how I expected but




Pretty good "game" though, was worth the £10 I paid for it.

Now I need something new to sink time ino, maybe Civ 5 or Assassins Creed 3.

Honestly don't know. The mod scene for civ 5 is nothing compared to civ 4.

So True.

Whew... big thread so far. My apologies if anyone's posted on these games already - but I took the opportunity to pick up a few games off the Steam sale that I've been wanting to try for a while now.

Together with what I was already playing anyway, that means I am now in the middle of:
Skyrim
Borderlands 2
Audiosurf
System Shock 2
Metro: Last Light

...see you all after Christmas...!!

No need to apologize it's about what you're playing right now.....unless somehow somebody already informed us what you are playing.

Oh, and btw, you don't know what happened to Kenny because he probably didn't follow you at the end of Chapter 4 (I think that's the one). It was... heart-breaking to say the least.

Tbh The Walking Dead dint spark as much emotion in me as I expected, think I went through all the emotion apart from cryin. I got close but not xlose enough lol.

Pretty sure Kenny did follow me, he "died" during episode 5 for me when he caused the walkie talkie to be dropped down a hole and went to save Christa.

The Chinese in Age of Empires 2!

Total War: Shogun II. Enjoying the Steam Sale!

Game of Thrones mod for Crusader Kings 2. I love being a-historical, fighting to put Daenerys on the throne as Robb Stark

Audiosurf

Audiosurf is great fun.

Try and get an MP3 of "A Little Less Conversation" by Elvis/JXL. That's a great song to play through that.

Thanks HBMC, I shall. So far I've found Pendulum to work best, those songs are great fun...if a little tricky...!!

My fiancee and me were crying at the end

More like sobbing with tears, but you get the point. Really, really good game.

I basically only play the basic mono game type (colour-blindness and a distaste of all things Tetris makes me uninterested in the other modes), but who cares when you're having fun? Songs with endless stretches of red are really difficult, and that Elvis remix is almost entirely red from start to finish. Getting a perfect run (no grey blocks) is quite a challenge.

I'm still slogging through Far Cry 3...it's an awesome game, but it seems to be kinda dragging on at this point...

Ya, it does that.

Bought a copy of 'Sleeping Dog's' this morning and really enjoying it. GTA with an Asian twist, and a great story so far.

More Borderlands 2, we just got a 61 pearlescent assault rifle, but still cannot get a Kawaii Killer head!

Played through it twice. Loads of fun. The combat system is so satisfying.

Heads and skins have a stupidly low drop rate when compared to weapons.

To give a rough example:
You will get a legendary every 20 kills of BNK3R but a head possibly every 100 kills.

Oh, I know. I was mostly whining I have not found or traded for something that was in the game from the start, while being able to gather items that are also crazy rare - but introduced afterward, months after.

Getting a Head or Weapon is obviously not the issue, its getting the one that matters.

I found a Legendary Siren mod in a random bucket and a pearlescent from an alter trade, but have a hard enough time even spawning Vermiverous that it is annoying to farm for a specific drop.

I have yet to spawn Vermivorous, despite trying for a good four or five hours every other day for a few months.

Played two games in a row now with the Chinese, in Age of Empires 2. I'm gonna start a new game. I'm thinking the Goths or le Franks.
