Star Trek Online: Legacy of Romulus.
This is actually really good. Among other things, the voice acting is actually excellent, and the NPC contacts have passable lip-syncing, which helps with immersion a surprising amount.
Serious Sam Demo. That was really fun. Like Doom, but even faster and with Duke Nukem-style humour. I’m so getting the full version.
ME3 MP decided to have a little fun with my friend and I tonight. We were playing on Silver difficulty, which is usually an easy to fair challenge for just the two of us. However, the AI had other plans this time. Curiously, almost everything about the enemies was correct for the difficulty - amount of enemies spawned, enemy health, enemy damage, etc. They were just unfairly good. If they had been human enemies I would have accused them of wallhacking - they always knew where we were and the instant we were in their line of sight we’d be taking damage. In addition they seemed to spawn whenever and wherever they wanted, or else somehow they were also now insanely good at flanking. The only thing I could think of was the game somehow loaded the Gold or maybe even Platinum AI into the Silver enemies. It took us 10 minutes longer than it should have, even using a character I’m not very good with shouldn’t have added more than a minute or two. Very strange.
Just got the C&C Ultimate pack for 20$. C&C 3 is great but Red Alert 3 is… Playable
Finally getting around to playing Call of Pripyat, enjoying it way more then Clear Sky. Definitely feels more like SoC.
Spent the past month trying to get through Half-Life during boring school moments. Damn the Lamba Core teleporter sequence is hard without sound… Don’t really know when to jump.
Call of Juarez:Gunslinger,it’s surprisingly good,especially in the narrative department.
Chivalry. The learning curve on this game is unreal…
Found the Undead Parish bonfire finally in Dark Souls. Also beat a couple black knights (or at least I think that’s what they are) and am pretty much at the Capra Demon, which I watched my brother fight and I’m not sure how difficult he’ll be for me. Wonder if you can do a drop attack with a halberd, which is the weapon I’m using right now. It’s +3 or +4, can’t remember.
Beat Mass Effect 1 on PC, now getting to ME2. I wish my 360 still worked so I can finally finish 3 and get my chance to bitch about the ending like everyone else.
Might be because I didn’t get to play ME3 before Extended Cut (since I bought it back in March or something, it came with EC for free), but I personally loved the ending.
I really hate what the port of ME2 did to the PC controls. Mass Effect 1 was a lot more flexible in how you bind stuff. ME2 basically forces your Use key and your Sprint key to be the same key, which is rather annoying. Plus, there’s no crouch command.
Quick slots for weapons are also non-existent. The graphics look great and it runs reasonably well on my computer at a high level of detail, but I really hate how ramshackle console port-ish the game feels right now. ME1 had a much better PC interface.
That annoyed me as well. The journal and inventory had their own keybinds as well, which annoyed me the most that those weren’t in ME2.
Played some Tiberian Sun Reborn, which got released today
Gotta download that
Eh, Extended Cut fixes some things but the ending is essentially the same, so it shouldn’t matter too much either way how you feel about it. In the end I still felt it was a potentially great ending that made a powerful statement about the illusion of choice, but because of all of Bioware’s statements on the matter, it’s pretty clear they didn’t intend that at all, which is kind of a downer on that interpretation.
I played Starcraft II for the first time in a long time. Is it just me or did they really muck up the interface at some point? It took me so long to figure out how to play a simple match against AI. Once I got it going it was still as fun as ever, but the nagging feeling that I’m playing an MMO seems to be more present than ever. Anyways, anyone played Heart of the Swarm yet? Is it any good?
Tiberian Sun reborn MP. It’s pretty damn awesome, but I don’t enjoy infantry only maps.
Just started on Amnesia: Dark Descent.
I’m not sure if it’s just not affecting me or if I’m doing something wrong, but, so far, I’m as far as the Refinery and I haven’t actually been scared once. Am I just not giving it enough time yet or am I such a hipster or something that it doesn’t scare and is somewhat boring?
The games isn’t so much outright scary for the most part. I did find the atmosphere pretty heavy though, which I suppose you could say is a form of scary, it was just so dark and dreary that it made me not want to continue.
Metro Last Light
Loving it
