Good luck,you should be fine. The last mission is no longer the hardest because of all the new content like MECs.

Nothing ATM because I'm in work. But I started playing Battlefield 4 today

That's harder in the harder difficulties to do because sometimes your A-team suffers casualties just before you are satisfied with your team forcing you to train noobier guys and hope to god they don't die as well.

For 'enemy within' I suggest you take the gene mods that makes your guys impossible to mind control and also take the ability that always makes your guys bleed out instead of auto die and take an extra two turns to bleed out (for a total of about 5). The ability to always bleed out instead of auto-die is incredibly useful on your vets because you really don't want them to die.

Broke down and got Heroes of Might and Magic 6: Then I bought Disciples II and III because I wanted to play that kind of game, but feth Uplay.

The cake is a lie!

Glory to Arstotzka.

Been playing a lot of this "Dust" game.

I got it at launch and the bugs/balance issues drove me friggin insane. I played hard for a few weeks and I havnt touched it since just before China rising launched. It might have improved..... but I havnt wanted to find out.

Getting back into Mechwarrior 4 Mercs. Lookin' to play with a friend online.

Wait what. Can you elaborate, i'm a bit fuzzy due to some kind of winter illness, but some kind of baldur's gate in the NWN2 game? I'll have to google it later, but I always love sharing thoughts on classics like BG. Is there a Minsc for instance? And boo? If there's minsc and boo and you, surely it has to be excellent

Some folks started making it about 6 or 7 years ago when NWN2 first came out. Just finished mid 2013. You can get it from the Nexus mods website. Its supposed to be almost exactly the same as the original game, but ported into the 3.5ed and the NWN2 engine so much better graphics and what not. I made it about 25 minutes through the prologue with my ranger/bard/RDD then found out that you cant get past lvl 10 and completely lost interest. I wish they would continue a great story like baldur's gate all the way through epic level, like into the 30s or 40s or something and eventually achieve demigod status or something. Unfortunately, I have not found a single PC DnD game that achieves that (NWN2 MotB gets close but starts at 18 and ends at 30).

The title of the website still makes me laugh.

So it's the plot and events from the original Baldur's gate? And faithfully recreated? I may just have to dig out my NWN2 from wherever it's gotten to. Remember in the original BG you didn't even get to 10, so that seems fairly in-line with things. While I'd love for them to do TotS, BG2, through to ToB... I'll take a modernized recreation of the original for sure

BF4 and loving it. Despite the huge amount of hate levelled towards the launch and stability, I've had very few problems tbh.

Absolutely loving Silk Road and Altai.

I think they said that it includes the expansion as well which allowed up to roughly 10th lvl. I did not get into it very far but yes it is supposed to be as close to 100% identical story wise as they could possibly get with the NWN2 engine.

Some of the bugs are starting to show up for me after playing it for about a month. Thus far, they are fairly minor and they dont seem to come up that often. I might have something goofy happen once or twice in a match that makes me scratch my head for a moment and thats about it.

I'm playing Battlefield 4 on PS3 and I'm seriously having a blast! The tanks are great fun.

Nice, I just picked it up myself. I played the original on an Amiga. My name should be SickSix.

War Thunder, Spelunky and a mix of others. Spelunky gives me fear of spiders (got a huge spider in the dark level).

I really want to get 100% on GTA 5. But that requires the Rampage story line and the racing. Which I suck at

I've only got the really tedious stuff left to do like the triathlons, sports, radiation and the jumps as well which are quite difficult, i think. Haven't really went back to it for that reason.

I gotta say that the mission i had most difficulty with was the final TP industries one, where you had to bomb the airfield. That took a few tries.

They seem to have gotten a lot of it sorted, but I haven't played the campaign yet. A few minor annoyances with the 360 freezing and losing the save file, or occasionally unlocks not being available in the first game. But other wise it is pretty good.

I nerf them with my Recon's C4

Lord of the Rings: War in the North.

How did I miss this?!

And now that I said I was more or less glitch free my console keeps locking up

NextGen or PC, PS3, 360?

NextGen is I think two patch cycles behind but DICE is working overtime trying to get fixes out. "China Rising" had some unfortunate issues that got past testing.

Should be marking exams before I go back to work tomorrow, but instead I decided to download and play DDO. Very responsible.

Going to be a late one tonight!

Its understandable. Marking is boring as hell.

Finished XCOM. It ended... abruptly. My best soldier did kill the Uber-Ethereal though, so I'm happy with the result from a narrative perspective.

Onto... Far Cry 3, maybe?

Implying that BF4 isn't some huge unpaid beta-test.

Started AC: Revelations, wow it's all coming back to me now. I did have a save at 78% sync but deleted it to restart. I gave up with trying to get 80+% sync on Brotherhood.

As always throw some Minecraft in-between for good measure.
