Gonna give the first witcher another play through.

Still Rogue Legacy... only one more achievement to complete, the "Find all blueprints" one and I'm done. I wish I could burn my digital copy, I don't remember the last time I got so addicted to a game.

Getting towards the end of Witcher 2, odd side note, the crafting is actually a strong aspect of the game. Also if you're not save scumming the minigames/other exploits you never have a ridiculous amount of money. For instance i just about cleared myself out crafting a high level armour. Is a bit cheap the method they used though, making everything almost worthless to sell.

Another piece of especially bad design irked me, why include a Werewolf, with a unique model and Animations, if it's just going to be a secret very few will stumble across? It would have made a cool little quest, especially as a Werewolf is a very Witchery thing to fight.

All of this Skyrim talk has gotten me back into playing it. I had to re-start my Redguard paladin after Dawnbreaker glitched out of my inventory :(

Can't go draugr hunting without Dawnbreaker...

Five characters and I *still* haven't done anything with the main quest beyond getting the Horn of Whatshisname so I can get a fully upgraded Fus Ro Dah. Everything else has been DLC packs and side quests and exploration.

And I'm playing on a console. I don't even have mods to distract me from the main quest like I do in New Vegas. This game is crazy huge.

The fight with miraak was really under-wealming.
I don't die once.
Then again I two-hit giants.

Every fight is underwelming if you do that.

Apocrypha is one awesome place, nevertheless

I wish there was more dialogue with miraak too.
Also, I may kind of have an armour rating over three hundred.

Completely agree. I loved taking my time through those areas.

On-Topic - I finished Uncharted 3. Yup, that ending was extremely underwhelming...like the rest of the game. Such a disappointment considering how much I enjoyed Uncharted 2.

Started playing Skyrim on PC with a couple mods on the Steam Workshop. Definitely an improvement, but I need moar mods!

Also playing Metro 2033 for the first time. Holy feth, loving this game!

X-Com has been great, too. I only really play it when I have time to sit down for a couple hours.

*Note, I have video game ADD. I can't seem to play only one game at a time

Wait, there's a werewolf?
I never encountered one 0_o

Anyway, I kind of like how it's a secret. It emphasizes even more what a scary place the Witcher world is.

I agree that the game's economy is a bit unfair on the player, but at least it keeps the economy relevant.

Witcher runs like ass on my macbook.

God I am so in love with Requiem. Dark Souls is child's play against it. The best thing is the de-leveling - those bandits kick my ass left and right at low levels, but I know that when I come back after a while, I will laugh at their puny attacks.

As of now, I love my bow. Archery is so good.

God, that mod. So awesome.

It does look/sound great, and I'd love to be able to give it a shot. Alas, one of the curses of being a console user, but I suppose it's a fair trade; I can't stand games on computer.

I downloaded World of Tanks on the 360 today, it seems like it's going to be a steep learning curve (I didn't realise there's no respawn) but it looks to be very tactical and deep for a free game, and the graphics are great. Can't complain for £0.00

It is done! I am now free! Free from it's addictive curse! All achievs conquered!

Now, I'll probably resume my "Cthulhu saves the world!" playthrough

Hah, I started that and found it amusing, but my attention span for classic/ simple RPGs is not what it once was.

I am playing the Dark Crusade campaign, as Necrons.

Hammerheads flying around kiting you to oblivion can make any Necron Lord sad.

I remember playing tau in that. The game is overly easy with tau. I think it's because even in that game they were OP as h*ll. Then again I think necrons probably were too. Imperial guard was rather weak I think esp. since in dark crusade we had no elite infantry and used some heavy weapons for firepower. I suppose it wasn't all bad but I never really got into dark crusade and preferred winter assault myself. I was a guard player and I bought the first two as a combo pack so I wasn't fond of re-making my strategy based on the huge change between the two games.

Oh and relic units like the baneblade became a bigger deal in dark crusade considering the tier 4 limits on tanks and on tier 3 elite units.

Started again on Batman: Arkham Origins. Just got to a hotel the Joker has lovingly converted into an amusement park for The Bat to play in... How considerate of him.

This is going to be fun...

Started a new game of far Cry 3, good lord how much fun it is to go relic hunting while fending of maraudring hordes of pirates, bears, tigers and the odd homicdal wild dog

Completed "DLC Quest" today except for the speed run achievs, which means beating the first "game" in under 10 mns and the second under 12. Yeah, I didn't mind since it was very cheap thanks to the sales, but bear that in mind if you are curious about this game. It took me around 1 hour and something to fully complete everything else.

Don't get me wrong, it's funny and I really enjoyed it, but I have at least 1 friend that'd be furious if he spent any money for a game that is possible to beat in 10 mns ^^;;

Finished Witcher 2, Got two Save games ready for the sequel. I don't think i'll bother with Iorveth's pat, that's the one i chose on 360 and i recall it being fairly unsatisfying.

Even with my ridiculously overpowered level 50 Geralt (max level is 35 lol) i couldn't beat 'The Operator', turning the braziers off was too fiddly with the controller.

I have been hard on the game but that's only because, speaking to the NPC and uncovering all the lore was deeply enjoyable as was the story on the whole. Even the combat eventually showed a little promise. I just feel that had i not been slavishly following an 100% Gamefaq i would have missed out on soo much awesome stuff. Having played it previously on console without a gamefaq, i can tell you, i did miss out.

Maybe i'll return to Dragon Age now, at least bioware make their games in such a manner that they want to Show Off all the best content, instead of hiding it away.

LUFTRAUSERS!

I didn't get too far with dragon age though it seemed like a decent enough game, perhaps someday. Reminded me enough of my favorite games (bg/iwd/etc) for me to go back and investigate. Plus the way too smart magic dog was pretty amusing

Ragequit Space Engineers for the moment because rotors are bullspit. Stupid half offset blocks.


So I am doing a Skyrim playthrough since I've never actually done the Dawnguard stuff.

Playing Space Marine's exterminatus mode. feth Chaos Space Marines. Especially the ones with the hammers.

Baldurs gate (again). I' just cleared the bandit camp and I'm about to venture into the cloakwood. Its quite simplistic by modern standards and there are some irritating difficulty spikes but its still a good game.

The brutal struggle of CSM vs SM combat was displayed poorly in Space Marine overall. In Exterminatus, they did it wrong in a particular way. Balance should not be achieved by slapping on massive health and ludicrous hitstun onto the enemy Astartes to compensate for lack of brains.

Baldur's gate is fantastic! I just spend far too much time planning out parties and trying to play from the first game through the second game's expansion.

"Okay, I'm almost level 4, I got a new two-handed axe...come at me, wild bear!"

F9.

I finally got out of the Fade.

Yus!

I dont think I ever finished the second game but I played the first chapter or 2 so many times.
