Oblivion is starting to feel a little stale, so I think I am going to take a break from it, and go back to Morrowind. When I last left Artemis she still had over half of Vvardenfell to explore.

I didn't enjoy the campaign. I never finished it actually. I was hoping for some missions that I could use to practice flying jets and helicopters. Nope.

I love how the MP is more about being a team. I'm not very good at FPSs so it keeps the game fun for me when I can do other things to score.

I just unlocked the mortar. This is going to be fun.

Mortar! You would not believe how many times I died to that when my crew encountered an ace who was just a demon with mortars. He was situated well and we couldn't get a feed on him. He was still raining down on us when we heard the roar of a jet. Seconds later we heard an enormous explosion. Kamikaze. Didn't do a thing. But it was awesome to see. Besides, that allowed us to locate the mortar demon (the Kamikaze was very close to the mortar's position) and one of my friends, a sniper, got lucky and finally killed the offender. Then we met an enemy tank.

I'm dying to try it out!

I used to be really good with the tanks too. Not so much after my long absence from BF. I did shoot down a heavy attack chopper last night with the 120mm. He didn't see that one coming.

Whoah! That's .... IDK what to say other than "WHOAH". When I encounter an enemy armor or heli, I usually do one of three things. 1. Run and hide. 2. Take it down. 3. Go crazy and take it down Hollywood style. I usually do 1 because I'm a pure-bred Rifleman.

Persona 3 Portable, because it's you know portable! And since my psp is easier to carry to the hospital then my laptop, tried playing on maniac, made my head hurt.

And I'm also going to buy a PS2 soon so many good games that I missed because I had a gamecube.

Oblivion!!!... ...

Oh how I have missed thee... ...

My earlier post about MAG has stoked a fire inside me... And now, I am fighting world-wide for myself, for fortune... For the brotherhood. That's the tagline from one of the PMCs, actually, so pardon the cheesiness. Hmmm... Cheese... Where was I? Oh, yes, Maggie the Magpie. An MMO that, in my opinion, has done its genre right. There may be some awkwardness in its technology, but that's SEVERELY downsided by the FUN it provides! Seriously! If you have PS3, I recommend downloading the trial. That is, if you're the Shootah-toipe. Like seriousley, moite, its onn of a koinde. I like accents, BTW. =p

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga... ...

I LOVE the Lego games , err....I mean I play the game with my little nephews....and I bought it for them to play......yes....them.

Tactic Orge; Let us cling together, Something about tactic and strategy games steal my soul, hehe like the Civilization(1-4, 5 sucked since it was so dumbed down to make it accessible to other people, they took out any thinking activity from my favorite game)) , alpha centauri and Galactic Civilization tends to leave me awake till 9 or 10 in the morning xD

Also playing Skyrim.

Of course...Yes...Aaaand I only ever play so I can show the kids what to do afterwards...Yes, yes I do...*Nods*...

Mass Effect 3 demo.

I want this game. I want it now!!

Same here, going through the second game again to get ready for ME3.

Kindoms of Alamur: Rekoning...

Which is getting better every time I play it...It really is a decent bit of game...

It sounds like your getting addicted :3

Myself, I'm playing Mass Effect 2, prepping my Shepard for the M/M romances.

Hmm...thinking about it, I kinda want Operation Racon city more....

I read about the latest Assassin's Creed...That'll be Assassin's Creed III donchaknow... ...Aaamywho...I've gone back to the start, because it's a fun game... ...Me likee Altair...

Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Playing my Sith Warrior guy. Racking up on some Dark Side points and slaying just about anything and anyone.

Currently playing Mass Effect 3 at the moment. I've heard bad things about the ending, which I haven't quite got to yet, but so far I'm enjoying it immensely; the writing, which has already been excellent in the first two games, has taken a step up and there have been some truly fantastic moments so far. My personal favourite bit to date has been 'someone else might have gotten it wrong' (you'll know the part I'm talking about if you've played it); not only was it greatly moving, but I also had an immense sense of accomplishment afterwards, and even though it was only a fictional video game universe I couldn't help but feel that I'd done some good and made a difference.

Oddly enough- Duels of the Planeswalkers (the Magic: The Gathering card game) on the xBox. I rather like the strategic aspects of making the most of the cards you are dealt- as well as setting up for particular opponents.

Well I'm (kind of) playing Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. I got the game and the expansion for less than $10. It's really confusing but I feel like it'll be a lot of fun once I get the hang of it. Acadian got me interested in it and he's been kindly holding my hand as I figure out what the heck I'm supposed to be doing. I'm not even out of the first dungeon though.

And I'm playing Skyrim.

Mass Effect 3 was great, it was everything I hoped for and more...right up until the ending. Don't worry I won't spoil it for you but rest assured the "multiple endings" are basically all the same exact extremely brief cutscene.

The only difference in any of the three endings is that a certain laser beam's color scheme changes. Thats it. No explanation of how your decisions change things at all. It is as if all the decisions you made over the last three games make no difference at all at the end of the game. It was just sad to see one of my favorite series' of all time end so badly.

I held off on ME3 because DA2 was such a disaster. I'm glad I didn't get it. Instead I bought a game by the same company that is going on 12 years old. lol.

This is what I have heard from everyone who has played ME3. The series once touted the player's actions controlled the destiny of its characters, and the story's outcome. Now we find our actions are completely meaningless. If that were not enough they do not even tell you what happened to everyone.

Granted, for me it is not a letdown. I gave up on the series in the beginning of ME2, where I found out you had to work for terrorists. They expect me to join the same organization that kidnapped and killed Admiral Kabuki in the first game, after killing all of his men? Not to mention all the other things they did to Earth servicepeople? Suuure. Why not make a game where your Navy Seal joins Al Queda?

The Neverwinter Nights and Kotor games seem to have been Bioware's glory days. I still enjoy playing them. They do not seem to have done anything worthwhile since.

So, finally finished ME3. The ending was...interesting. It made me think, and think a lot more than any other game has ever managed.

It was by no means perfect, and had I been part of the writing team there were definitely things I would have changed, but it stayed true to the core themes of the series and gave me an interesting moral conundrum to try and puzzle out (I'm still not certain if I did the right thing, but I think I did. Possibly). It could do with expansion, yes, and a better sense of closure, but overall I actually quite liked it.

And now, back to Skyrim. FUS RO DAH!!

Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition came in the mail today. I installed it and tried it out. I cannot believe how cartoonish it looks compared to Oblivion and Skyrim. Even compared to other Bioware games like Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2, and the Kotor games. I tried it out for a bit to get a feel, and put it aside. I will probably get around to playing it more sometime though. I want to see how far Ulfdis can get in the Skyrim civil war first.

Hi. I play Skyrim about 80%...Oblivion the rest of the time. I haven't touched Sims or Tomb Raider or any of my other games in years.



haa haa! I have a daughter, I always have a perfect excuse for playing with kid's toys! Anyways, I know how you feel! Although she's not into Legos, I had tons of them when I was a kid. Every time I see some of the new sets out there I gawk at what they're up to now. Then I start looking at the price, and suddenly I'm glad my daughter's not into them!




I tried Dragon Age: Origins (I think that's the 2nd one, right?) for about a half hour, put it aside, put Oblivion in the slot, and have never touched DA: O ever since!

When Skyrim came out, I went ahead and just deleted the game sava data for DA: O..it's just bloatware in my case. Lol.

Just fired up Planescape: Torment after buying it off the wonderful Good Old Games.

It's so wierd. So, so wonderfully wierd. It's like the Shivering Isles if the Development team had been taking amphetamines and licking toads. And it's absolutely awesome...

Forza Motorsport 3, taking fast cars for laps 'round the Nurburgring.

So far, I've completed laps in a Porsche GP car and the Ferrari FXX.

Now I'm trying to attempt it in the Porsche 959, which feels like I'm driving with an elephant in the trunk (and there is, the engine is in the boot).

Playing through the DLC for Dungeon Siege III at the mo...Took a while to get used to the controls again, but it's still a damned good game...

I do rather enjoy it... ...

I pulled out my old Baldur's Gate disks to have a nostalgia session, but the second disk was just about unreadable, and I didn't get far. I may have to clean up some disk space and try and copy the whole set onto the hard drive, so it doesn't keep needing the disk swaps.

Or I might think it's not worth the effort, and play some more Daggerfall instead.

Hopelessly engrossed in Oblivion. About a year or two ago, I gave a very intense one month try to Dragon Age Origins. I tried really hard to like it, but gave it a fail. Dunno, just didn't get along with the restrictions.

I do play Buffy as an elven ranger (archer kit) in Baldur's Gate II. I was just telling Renee not too long ago that I have imported her picture and voice set into BGII and created her pretty closely. We pretend that somewhere in Cyrodiil is a mysterious door that leads to Faerun (sort of like the SI, Lol). Anyway, it is a fun diversion from the . . . loneliness of Oblivion. I have 1000s of hours in BGII from way back and it is certainly full of loads of interaction with a squabbling party. Great fun in small doses.

Well, I played BG for a while and remembered why I left. It's hard to role-play an entire party of 6 with different personalities, and BG doesn't let you just play the main character and let the rest do what they want. Everyone needs turn-by-turn micromanagement or they end up dead, and resurrection is just too expensive.

The companions in Oblivion (at least the better ones) are quite capable of putting on their own armor and following the general orders you gave them. Which reminds me of a few tweaks I need to make to Angeline and Diablita....

I'm exploring Skyrim right now in the hopes of finally getting back to writing. Otherwise, I play Battlefield 3 or ME 3 with my schoolmates.

Just to show I'm not a complete sell-out for new games, I've started playing Tales of Symphonia again. I haven't played many JRPGs and the gameplay's a little dated, but the story is enjoyable... so long as you can keep up with the gambit pileup the characters find themselves in the last two thirds of the game.

I will admit the Male Shepard/Kaiden romance was sooo well written, but the ending? Bah, actually one of the head writers posted before, that Casey pretty much locked himself and wrote the ending without any peer review.
Which explains the terrible, terrible...just bad. Urgh.

I been playing Oblivion, since my Skyrim refuses to work
With a hint of Civilization, Persona 3 and 4. I'm just patiently waiting for Dragon's Dogma

Also Tales of Symphonia was really fun

Fallout - New Vegas for a bit...Was trailer trawling on Youtube yesterday and saw the Ultimate Edition one and got all nostalgic...Felt I needed to shoot something...Y'know?... ...

You guys didn't give Dragon Age: Origins a chance. It takes into account soooo many different things in the ending slide show that you did during your game. Seriously it takes into account more than any game I've ever played.

It is kind of like KOTOR or The Witcher rather than like large open world games like Elderscrolls games. It uses attributes and a fairly complex skill tree much like KOTOR and has lots of conversation options when speaking to NPC's that can dramatically change the way things play out.

Very good game IMO.

DAO is one of my favorite games, the amount of dialog choices, is just wow, I seen several dialog options that I can't seem to get them again, hehe.

Right now I'm playing DA2, because why not.

I played it. It took me a very long time to get into it. It sat untouched for a few months before I gave it another go. It was amusing for a play, but I didn't like it as much as Oblivion.

The characters were what made the game fun for me, the rate that they open up to you just feel, well almost perfect, I mean compared to ME and DA2, I really feel that DAO characters were more "realistic" in a way, I mean all your team mates, I just freaking loved all of them to death

Not playing DA2 anymore, I'm playing The Sims Medieval....I'm addicted.

I think the best part of DAO was the jokes me and my friend made while playing it. Many of them aimed at a golem called Shale.

If you can say only one thing about Bioware, it is that their characters are deeper than basically any other game maker's.

Oh yes, like the Male ShepardxKaiden romance(minor spoilers) they wrote it like they were always in love, it's so cute, even my straight friends agree

Anyway, still playing Dragon age 2 and Sims Medieval, I can't advance in DA2 though, my nephews and mom are here, and well if I advance further the Anders romance will show, and I don't think they will like that. SO I'm just side questing until they leave.

I've been playing a bit of Skyrim starting a new character under the Dead is Dead rules, I've also been on Minecraft a bit but I'm finding it difficult to maintain interest in the game.

Picked up all the Fallout 3 content used the other day and have been working back into the mindset of the the "Lone Wanderer." (grumbles... stupid Talon Company...)

I've also been playing some DiD characters. So far one has died.

I picked up minecraft for the xbox and I'm finding it addictive. The whole game is like legos.

Yeah I always felt uncomfortable pursuing the romance parts with people around, especially in The Witcher 2, which has incredibly explicit sex scenes. Dragon age had better dialogue though and is intended for a broader audience.

Witcher 2 is definately for mature gamers only but I found it highly enjoyable. Story is great, characters are great, and it is easy to pick up and play while still being complex enough to be satisfying.

Back on Kingdoms of Amalur at the mo...Much fun!!...

I just noticed something, The more facial hair a male character has, the more it takes to kill them. The more anatomically incorrect and back-destroying a pair of breasts on a female character is, the higher their damage output.

Anyway, I'm playing Oblivion! And maybe D3

Diablo 3 and Skyrim!
