Come on then. Own up to your plans for spending the entire weekend playing Terraria, along with 432,000 other people. (I know!) Or have your gone back to one of the Battlefields after that hype for 3? I know I have. We’re totally having an RPS Battlefield 3 clan, you know that, right?
I’m also oddly tempted by Spiral Knights. But I can’t be sure.
17/06/2011 at 18:24 Cooper says:
APB: Reloaded.
Although probably only for 30 minutes, until I once again get pissed off at the constantly stuttering performance on my comp that should run it ok.
I keep meaning to drum up some APB action on the RPS forums, but, whilst it runs fine for most, it has some painfully poor optimisation for certain systems. Like mine. But it’s shaping up to be a pretty decent game, if team-based people shooting in a GTA rip off world is in anyway appealing…
17/06/2011 at 19:47 dan. says:
I will also be playing APB. You should hit up this thread, as we have a whole TWO (count ‘em!) people currently playing.
I’ll probably also finish off my second play through of Mass Effect and, maybe, jump on the RPS server for some Bad Company 2.
17/06/2011 at 20:02 ninjapirate says:
Mmmh… playing APB as well. I’ll have a look at that thread!
17/06/2011 at 21:25 havoc3d says:
+1 to APB:R
17/06/2011 at 18:24 LazerBeast says:
Terraria is definitely on my plate for the weekend, along with the games I just got in the Indie Variety pack via Steam.
17/06/2011 at 18:26 Hunam says:
I’m gonna jump into Death to Spies after I got it cheap off Get Games last weekend and only ended up playing the tutorial.
I also got Men of War cheap but the downloader seems to have borked that one.
17/06/2011 at 18:26 soulblur says:
Shogun 2, some Terraria (to see if I can’t actually start liking it), EU3, Minecraft, Portal 2.
17/06/2011 at 18:26 pakoito says:
Social casual games such as getting drunk and hitting on girls.
17/06/2011 at 18:42 Bob Moron says:
Aaah, the foolishness.
17/06/2011 at 18:51 Grygus says:
That can be a fun game but to really succeed you’ll have to use micropayments.
17/06/2011 at 19:47 aravar says:
But it’s supposed to have one of the best end games ever…
17/06/2011 at 19:58 Heliocentric says:
It’s popular, but a little grindy.
17/06/2011 at 21:25 SpinalJack says:
You could sink 18 years of commitment into that if you’re not careful and then you’ll have to start gold farming to pay for it
18/06/2011 at 01:49 dr.castle says:
it’s definitely best to play co-op, but watch out for ninja looters
18/06/2011 at 02:37 BAshment says:
i’ve heard the graphics are atrocious.
18/06/2011 at 09:27 mod the world says:
Typical pay to win game.
17/06/2011 at 18:27 Servicemaster says:
Fallout: New Vegas.
That 15 minute Skyrim demo made me put down my controller for LA Noire and start playing New Vegas again. And now I’m hooked, for a 3rd time. This time I guess I should check out those Great Khans since I’ve completely ignored them.
18/06/2011 at 00:10 Vartesz says:
+1.
Playing it for the first time, and as someone who always wants to do every quest, the whole “kil-one-faction-in-order-to-advance-with-the-other-faction”-thing is driving me crazy ;). Can’t they just all coexist?
18/06/2011 at 10:54 battles_atlas says:
Feel your pain, for me heightened by my exploration method which resulted in me basically covering the whole map and all the sidequests before I even reached the Strip. As a result half the missions are screwed now. I wish they wouldn’t offer such freedom if they can’t code for it. Even though, or probably because, I had already convinced the Great Khans to (I think) attack the Legion, the NCR mission to sort them out got bugged, and I ended up having to slaughter them all just to progress. Felt kind of narked about that, given the two hours I’d spent previously buttering them up.
Downloading AC Brotherhood currently, my first taste of the series.
17/06/2011 at 18:27 tikey says:
Mass Effect, some Magicka and TF2 if I can get the time.
17/06/2011 at 18:27 Ysellian says:
It makes me all warm and fuzzy to see Indies be successful. ^_^ Anyway I’m probably going to be playing a little Starcraft 2 and Neverwinter Nights 2.
17/06/2011 at 18:27 Wodge says:
I just finished Mafia 2, and it turns out that Vito is a dick, so I’m currently at a loss for what to do, i guess it’s spiral knights as the beta was rather good fun indeed.
17/06/2011 at 19:57 Gar says:
I’m playing Mafia II right now, and I think I’m very close to the end? Joe and I were hanging on the top of some construction project building, I shot my way all the way to the bottom, and now I can’t figure out how to exit the damn building. Joe is still hanging out at the very top too, for some reason. Google results seem to suggest this is a fairly common glitch…
I think I’m going to try to give Dead Space another shot once I’m done with this game (if I even bother finishing), and if I can’t stick with that (I’ve tried 2 times already, quit after 15 minutes both times), I will probably move on to Mount and Blade: Warband
17/06/2011 at 18:27 jymkata says:
I’d set it up. I was going to play Baldur’s Gate almost nonstop (everyone I know seems to have fled london, so I had nothing else to do)
But then I found out that it didn’t want to run on my machine, and my character couldn’t run and I got all ADHD up in this bitch. So Project Zomboid/Season 2 of Deadwood
17/06/2011 at 20:28 Hawek says:
You are not alone, my friend.
Same story, but with Alice.
17/06/2011 at 18:27 Coins says:
I’m trying to play Arma 2, but it’s so very complicated, I’m horrible at it. So I guess I’ll just return to Terraria. Trying to find a way to not get beat up by those damned imps.
17/06/2011 at 19:31 jonfitt says:
Where are you located (continent wise)? If you’re in the US I might be able to meet you on a server and explain some of Arma’s weirdness. If you’re in Europe, check out the RPS ARMA2 server thread in the forums.
17/06/2011 at 18:28 SMiD says:
I picked up Torchlight in the recent GG sale and I’ve got that click-kill-loot addiction. And when I need to take a little breather, I’ve got my Minecraft world just waiting there for me.
17/06/2011 at 18:28 Raziel_aXd says:
I’ll enjoy my addiction for Crysis 2 MP, some Alice and hopefully some more Planescape: Torment. Uh, any Crysis 2 MP players here?
17/06/2011 at 18:37 AlabasterSlim says:
I play Crysis 2!
AlabasterSlim on Steam or Gamespy.
I’ll also be playing some ARMA 2 this weekend as I do every weekend. Probably some Mount & Musket tonight as well.
17/06/2011 at 18:38 Raziel_aXd says:
Good. I’m Raziel_axd in the game, I’ll add you and maybe we can guard some crash sites together. So romantic…
17/06/2011 at 18:29 MasterBoo says:
Heroes of Newerth, my 2nd Witcher II playthrough and Frozen Synapse.
Probably will also be testing the game I’ve developing (and in this stage, it’s not fun as it sounds :P)
17/06/2011 at 18:31 Jeremy says:
I will be logging some solid hours into Alpha Centauri as well as Fallout: New Vegas. Just picked up F:NV on sale, so I’ll get all up ons and maybe try and mod (read: mod,break,reinstall,repeat) the game a bit. I’ll also probably play a little Terraria, though I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m actually pretty bad at that game.
17/06/2011 at 18:31 Gnoupi says:
Some Terraria, some Quadsmash, an healthy dose of Brink, and probably some Magicka to warm up for the 21st
17/06/2011 at 18:31 disperse says:
Spelunky mostly.
17/06/2011 at 18:31 Moni says:
I think I’m finally going to get around to revisiting Far Cry 2, I’m appropriately in the mood for random machine gun violence.
It’s also Dreamhack this weekend, so I’ll probably be mostly watching that. Does watching games count here?
17/06/2011 at 18:31 Jams O'Donnell says:
I am playing games for the first weekend in MONTHS. I have to play some/all of:
Portal 2
Dirt 3
Spacechem
Amnesia
Hot Pursuit
17/06/2011 at 19:41 Jams O'Donnell says:
And that’s Portal 2 finished. Companion cube! Next game!
17/06/2011 at 18:31 Kaira- says:
Probably I’ll do a rerun on “study for maths exam”, and after that I’ll probably play Winter Voices or Post Mortem/Still Life/Still Life II, depending on which I start.
17/06/2011 at 19:40 westyfield says:
I’ll be playing Maths Revision as well, and its sequel, Physics Revision: Maximum Planck.
17/06/2011 at 21:14 hexapodium says:
I only have the expandalone, Economics Revision. I’m glad they put out the JM Keynes content patch though, it was hugely unrealistic before. It’s still a bit arcadey now, to be honest, but the Financial Crisis DLC has completely changed the balance if you’re playing on a social democrat server.
18/06/2011 at 01:57 Wunce says:
Have you guys tried the spinoff: Discrete Mathmatics Revision? Most people don’t like the direction they took with the series but I feel that it gives for much more cerebral gameplay.
17/06/2011 at 18:31 Deano2099 says:
Dragon Age 2, finish of Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations, and maybe a bit of LA Noire.
17/06/2011 at 18:32 Wizardry says:
Some ultra-hardcore spreadsheet-like turn-based party-based old-school CRPG.
17/06/2011 at 19:55 NR says:
Hahaha…
I’m curious- do you even play any other type of game?
17/06/2011 at 20:01 Wizardry says:
Of course I do.
17/06/2011 at 22:55 Jeremy says:
Lies!
17/06/2011 at 18:32 Koozer says:
I’ll be mostly on Terraria and poking at the innards of Gamemaker to wring some kind of ship equipment screen out of it.
Oh, and Link’s Awakening.
17/06/2011 at 18:32 Colthor says:
I’m going to try and get into Europa Universalis 3. If I can manage Dwarf Fortress, I can manage anything Paradox can throw at me! Right?
Otherwise I might play Halo: Original Dance Sound Track.
17/06/2011 at 18:43 Vandalbarg says:
Right! Although they’re complicated in different ways. A lot of DF’s legendary difficulty comes from the Byzantine labyrinth of a menu/controls which take a while to get used to, whereas EU3 is fairly easy to learn. If you’re big into strategy games as a whole you’ll take to it like a duck to war torn water. Enjoy!
17/06/2011 at 19:04 Coins says:
I think DF is easy compared to EU3, although some of the controls are just as well hidden…
17/06/2011 at 20:16 Colthor says:
Amusingly, the interactive tutorials in EU3: Complete are broken. Oops!
Never mind. I’ve picked Castille, the game’s telling me to conquer things, I have a big army, a big navy, and tiny, weedy neighbours. What can possibly go wrong?
17/06/2011 at 20:31 Om says:
Just don’t conquer so much that a) the rest of the world hates you (ie, your reputation) or b) your people hate you (ie, your stability). The biggest mistake that newcomers to EU make is to invade everything in a decade. Relax and pace yourself; you have centuries to play with
17/06/2011 at 18:32 Stompywitch says:
Probably Dungeon Siege 3, downloading right now!
Also looking to get a round or two of Space Hulk: Death Angel in, though…
17/06/2011 at 23:40 Stompywitch says:
Played two rounds of Death Angel, lost two rounds of Death Angel.
Fucking genestealers.
(That might be where I went wrong, thinking about it)
17/06/2011 at 18:33 Gotem says:
maybe I’ll get strongbad game now that they are really cheap at telltale store.
if not then some TF2 of course
and eitherr magicka or aquaria
and might give it a little more chance to spiral knights, seems nice, but I don’t see me playing it too much
17/06/2011 at 18:33 Hmm-Hmm. says:
Minecraft. Maybe a bit of Blood Bowl (LE, of course). Or perhaps some flash games, game demos and the like.
17/06/2011 at 18:33 Theodoric says:
Definitely back to Bad Company 2 for the moment, shifting between the regular game and Vietnam. Still got Battlefield 2, 1942 and 2142 lying around, but I can’t get them to work on my PC because of DLL problems. :/
Ah well, when I get my new graphics card, which I’m getting for the explicit purpose of making Battlefield 3 run beautifully, I’m reinstalling Windows. It’s smooth Battlefield sailing from there on out. B-)
17/06/2011 at 18:34 Jake says:
Amnesia when it’s dark and Sentinel Homeworld on my stupid phone. Might try and get into the Witcher 2, I’ve struggled with it so far.
17/06/2011 at 18:35 godkingemperor says:
Hat Tycoon 2, I hope to find a new hat before hitting my drop limits
17/06/2011 at 21:13 noom says:
I heard they’re introducing guns to Hat Tycoon 2. It’s totally going to ruin in.
18/06/2011 at 04:02 godkingemperor says:
Guns? In Hat Tycoon?
Typical Valve, always ruining things.
17/06/2011 at 18:35 MiniMatt says:
Prolly spend a good amount of time getting the crap shot (and sometimes exploded) out of me on the RPS BC2 server. Last night’s sesh did see my pitiful 0.49 k/d ratio change at long last. It’s now much, much worse :o)
17/06/2011 at 23:34 Cable says:
don’t worry it gets better i too did once have a k/d ratio of 0.4 but now after much time and effort i am at .58 and i feel like a real man, one day i hope to reach the glory of 1 but that is still in the distant future.

17/06/2011 at 18:37 Wulf says:
I’m in the middle of replaying Morrowind again. I can’t get over the level of quality there is present in the user created mods for it, it never ceases to amaze me. It’s always better than any DLC.
And after Morrowind I plan on going to wander the Deserts of Anequina for a bit, in Oblivion, and do whatever content there is there, including buying a house, and generally just enjoying the damned beautiful ambience. I can’t get over how much Anequina looks not only better, but more interesting, than Cyrodil. By a wide margin. The Imperial lands are boooring. (Could they get more dull and uninspired? Also, could they use more bloom?) But I’m tempted back by the beauty of Anequina. Plus elephants!
Aside from that, I’m poking around in Terraria. Building my mega-home there is enjoyable, though I’m utterly disappointed that NPCs aren’t moving into my apartment complex. :C Those are nice apartments! And I’ll likely be poking LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean again, seeing how much more hidden stuff I can find.
S’about it.
18/06/2011 at 14:02 Petethegoat says:
I tried reinstalling Oblivion a while back, modded it up all nice.
Then I started a game and couldn’t get over how much worse it looked than Morrowind when modded up all nice. :/ So blurry and just eugh.
17/06/2011 at 18:38 logan says:
Finishing up Singularity before starting Fallout:New Vegas. Not sure what the Friday night drinking game is going to be yet. Maybe Brink. Ehh.

I’ll be playing KotoR
17/06/2011 at 18:39 Jubacat says:
1: Alpha Centari – Missed this while I was playing EQ when it first came out so making up for lost time.
2: Starcraft 2: I’m just so damn bad at this game, but I will sink some serious time in it.
3: Frozen Synapse: moping up all the multiplayer turns I have building up and progressing through the campaign.
and a maybe
4: Pick up the indie bundle on steam that has Swords and Soldiers and play a few of those.
17/06/2011 at 18:39 man-eater chimp says:
I’m about halfway through Arkham Asylum at the moment, so I’ll try and finish that. Terraria, Spiral Knights and League of Legends may also take up some time.
If I don’t run out of time playing games this weekend I have Atom Zombie Smasher, Machinarium and Capsized to play through from the variety pack!
17/06/2011 at 18:39 Diogo Ribeiro says:
I was planning on finishing Ghost Trick on DS this weekend but I managed to finish it last night. So, I then had some plans but the girlfriend is coming over this weekend. So, now I have new plans, which are basically the same as those for this weekend delayed to the coming week.
These involve replaying Morrowind (which recently dawned on me that it shares, though very slightly, resemblances to Monster Hunter in terms of preparing for and recovering from combat), playing Duke Nukem Forever, and just about every 2D Castlevania title. Also, watching some Hammer Horror era movies.
The last two activities may or may not be related to something I’m writing.
17/06/2011 at 18:40 meeper says:
MegaMek. I just haven’t been able to get into any of the games I’ve recently purchased, so I’ll just go for some old fashioned PvP BattleTech.

I intend to finish up Prince of Persia (2008), which I purchased in a Steam sale a few months ago but didn’t get around to starting until last weekend.
I’ll probably give The Cat and the Coup a look too.
17/06/2011 at 18:41 Tonamel says:
Having just bought Starcraft 2 last week, I’ll be investing some time into finishing the SP, and then some protoss practice vs AI before finally doing my placement matches.
Also Terraria.
17/06/2011 at 18:42 frenz0rz says:
Blood Bowl. Lots and lots of Blood Bowl. Legendary Edition, of course.
Started playing it again last week and I’m lucky enough to have two or three clanmates who also play it regularly. We’re thinking of setting up a clan league soon, and depending on how many people we get, it might be an elf-only league. This is because our last two leagues inevitably ended up being predominantly bashy affairs, and thats not too fun for the only agility team out of 7 or 8, particularly if your players are somewhat expensive.
Anyway, I’ve got 15 teams in the Auld World open league in various states of development, from a 950TV Dwarf team to a 2450TV Lizardmen team that desperately needs trimming. Time to sack a couple of skinks, maybe. Either way, I’ll probably be playing it all weekend.
My clan has also been getting back to Bad Company 2 recently, so there’ll likely be a bit of that. We’re also predominantly a L4D clan, so even though I’m more than a little sick of it after 600+ hours across both games, I’ll likely be playing some at one point or another. Oh, and my friend is about to get Dawn of War 2, so there may well be a little 3v3 multiplayer going on as well.
Oh, and I’ve got to get my Jobseeker’s Allowance sorted now that I’m out of uni. Although filling out two hours of forms isn’t particularly fun…
17/06/2011 at 18:42 Diogo Ribeiro says:
Oh, also, D&D: Daggerdale. I played like 15 minutes and managed to not throw up, though I suspect I would if I reached the 20 minute mark. Just about everything is horrible in it, so, yeah. Though I’m not on the games journalism side of things at this time, part of me still feels the need to get knee deep in terrible electronic plaything and judge them.
17/06/2011 at 18:43 fritz says:
Nothing but WoT. Need my T9 med for clan wars.

Ohhh King’s Bounty. Why can’t I ever finish you?
17/06/2011 at 18:44 pblackburn says:
Minecraft
Terraria
Bad Company 2 (if it ever finishes updating)
Red Faction Guerrilla co-op
Star Wars Galaxies (trial run!)

Red Faction Gorilla has co-op?

I’ll be finishing DNF and subsequently washing the taste out of my mouth with the excellent standalone Duke3D mod WGRealms 2 ( http://www.moddb.com/games/wgrealms-2 .)
Some morning coffee time to spend with Frozen Synapse as well since I seem to have entered a tournament, maybe some Crawl if it slows down.
More than likely some Spiral Knights with many unlikely friends who happened to pick it up, because friendship is beautiful. Lastly, I’ll probably give the last two Steam Free-to-Play games a shot since they’re the only other two I’m vaguely interested in: Global Agenda and the Shooty McManshoot one with the convoluted title.
17/06/2011 at 18:49 egg says:
Magicka! God, that game is so good.
And some Starcraft 2 and Team Fortress 2 most likely.
And if I find the time, some Minecraft. But I doubt it.
17/06/2011 at 20:25 LionsPhil says:
I am glad to see the Magicka love. The tech is shakey, but the game is fun as hell.
Hopefully on the cards, TF2 is also a possibility, and Splinter Cell since it was cheapo recently.
17/06/2011 at 18:49 limbclock says:
I finally managed to convince myself that spending 20 euros on Borderlands via the Games On Demand service was a good idea. So i guess i’ll be playing that :D
17/06/2011 at 18:49 shoptroll says:
Jamestown and maybe some Super Crate Box or Donkey Kong Country Returns. Also, Race for the Galaxy if I need a break from the monitor.
Spiral Knights has me intrigued, but I already gave my soul to Kingdom of Loathing nearly 6 years ago. I don’t think I can commit to another F2P time-limited MMO :(
17/06/2011 at 18:50 Vinraith says:
I’ve been playing New Vegas with the Project Nevada mod (it’s my first playthrough, but I couldn’t see any reason not to up the ante from the outset) like a complete addict, and I’m sure I’ll continue to do so. Nothing grabs me like a Bethesda game, especially a well-modded one.
Hopefully I’ll also squeeze in a bit of Din’s Curse and Close Combat: Wacht am Rhein with friends.
17/06/2011 at 23:11 moyogo says:
I love Din’s Curse, but my hybrid thief/wizard isn’t so good at fighting. He’s a genius at disarming traps and teleporting, though.
This weekend will be SC2, frozen synapse, maybe Pripyat (with a different mod than Complete this time)
17/06/2011 at 18:51 aircool says:
Hmmm, some more BFBC2. Couldn’t get back into 2142 as the interface feels really clunky after BFBC2.
A pal has a new minecraft server up and running, so hours of digging for coal and iron for me. Happy Days :-) :-) :-)
17/06/2011 at 20:53 EOT says:
I feel you there buddy. I played so much 2142 when it came out that..eh…Manchester Metropolitan University decided that I shouldn’t stay on. Having recently re-discovered my discs and re-installing (after a quick call to EA customer support) I played one game before deciding that it just wasn’t for me any more and I’d rather play BC2.
I had the same experience with BF2 recently as well. I truly don’t understand the BF purists and their never-ending cries of ”The consoles are coming! The consoles are coming!”.
17/06/2011 at 18:52 Lars Westergren says:
Dungeon Siege 3, which is great. Anyone up for online co-op? Add me on Steam, on the same name. Possibly some Magic TG 2012, if I ever get it downloaded (10kb/s? WTH Steam?).
Some Witcher 2, perhaps, if I get tired of the others. Or Fallout:NV. Man, so many great RPGs these days, so little free time.
17/06/2011 at 18:52 Om says:
I’m deep into a game of FM2010 right now. Dangerously so. I’m not proud to say that I’ll probably spend most of my weekend plotting my way to the Russian Premier Division title

Stuck in a world of laptop + trackpad right now. So when I really want to be playing APB excessively, I’m instead doing nothing. I have Lure of the Temptress installed though (by the Beneath a Steel Sky/Broken Sword guys), never played it. It’s been staring back at me all day. So maybe.

If you’ve never played it, Machinarium is the perfect low-spec, low-control laptop game.
17/06/2011 at 18:54 Hawek says:
Alice. I already played a little and OHMYGODITLOOKSSOAWESOME!!!
Something like that… Yeah…
Also, Red Faction: Armageddon and Stranglehold.
RFA is, pretty much, Red Faction Guerilla in a way that it should’ve been. And Stranglehold… Well, I’m a fan of John Woo.

Started myself on Hitman Blood Money during the week because of the coverage on Subtitle. It’s a bit hard and I’m really quite bad at completing games but I’m trying to power through and so far I had a blast on the Mardi Gras level and the Porn King’s mountain mansion. So clumsy hitmannery for me this weekend, perhaps with a bit of that there Spiral Knights, which is looking awful interesting.
17/06/2011 at 18:57 simoroth says:
Playing games? Pfff! I’ll be making some.
I have an idea for a sim game about colonising planets that will be a mixture of the Sims, Dwarf Fortress and Dungeon keeper.
Otherwise some Frozen synapse now I finally got past the Ninstar Elevator and maybe some Assassins creed 2 if the DRM doesnt play up.

Make that game and I will literally hunt you down and throw money at you.

I’m getting into Nehrim (the Oblivion total conversion) for the first time. ‘Sokay. It’s difficult, but not really in a satisfying way. Might play a bit more.
I’m mostly working on a CRPG system for my game that’s more than the generic barebones stuff I’ve been using until now. Thought about stealing Pathfinder under the OGL, but it doesn’t really fit. I’m going for low fantasy, reasonably high realism (think Song of Ice and Fire), very simulationist, no classes. I also need a way of generating a large number of characters that aren’t too archetypal but also aren’t useless, so I had the idea of taking purely random characters and throwing them into a series of fights or an obstacle course, and keeping the ones that survive. Should work.

Late for the party: I’ve borrowed my girlfriend’s X-Box, so I’m playing Brutal Legend and Vanquish. On the PC I’ll finally start playing The Witcher 2… I’ve pre-ordered it but haven’t played it yet mostly because I was still finishing Mass Effect 2 (ME was one of those games that everyone played and I somehow failed to play it myself until recently.
17/06/2011 at 19:13 Davee says:
APB: Reloaded, World of Tanks (I don’t usually play F2P games, but these two are unique and great fun), Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (on the RPS server!), probably do some modding for Warband (Vikingr module), use my 45-days-for-free offer from Sony revisiting PlanetSide and possibly some more retro-gaming through Deus Ex and Morrowind (never played them, but I’m making up for it now :P ). I think that’s it.
17/06/2011 at 19:15 Jim Reaper says:
Just finished playing Fallout (for the umpteenth time, and it still hasn’t gotten old yet), so this weekend I shall be firing up Fallout 2…
17/06/2011 at 19:29 Wulf says:
Might I recommend the Fallout 2 Restoration Project to go along with that endeavour? As with any mod that’s done well, it makes a world of difference and improves on what was already an incredible (for me, anyway) game.
17/06/2011 at 19:35 Vinraith says:
@Wulf
Would you recommend that for a (sort of) first playthrough? I tried playing FO2 back in the day a few times and bounced off of it (despite really liking FO1), but I’ve really been wanting to give it another shot (especially after enjoying New Vegas so much, reconnecting with the lore would be great).
17/06/2011 at 21:28 Jim Reaper says:
@ Wulf
Ta very much for the heads up! Said mod is downloading as I type and shall be installed upon completion. Thanks again….
@Vinraith
I’ll have to try that Project Nevada mod when I re-play New Vegas next….
BTW, anyone know of any good Fallout 3 mods? I couldn’t get into the game when I originally played it, which is typical for me and Bethesda games. I’d like to get my money’s worth out of it, as I doubt I got even halfway through it before losing interest….
17/06/2011 at 21:37 Vinraith says:
@Jim Reaper
You want Fallout Wanderer’s Edition. It turns the game into a survival experience (Hardcore mode in New Vegas is a lite version of FWE, basically), and is actually made by the same folks as Project Nevada (part of the reason I started New Vegas with PN is because I can’t imagine playing Fallout 3 without FWE, it turns it into one of my all-time favorite games).
FWE has a lot of optional mods that work with it, as well, like Mart’s Mutant Mod (adds some new critters, adds new varieties of old critters), and Weapon Mod Kits (which was basically integrated into vanilla New Vegas). I usually play FO3 with those three installed, and also add DC Interiors, which adds some new explorable buildings to the D.C. ruins. All of this stuff is available on Fallout Nexus, and it’s all installed pretty easily with the Fallout Mod Manager and run with Fallout 3 Script Extender..
18/06/2011 at 01:05 Wisq says:
I started on Fallout 3 again this week. Installed FWE, MMM, etc etc. I’m already starting to feel the same boredom and fatigue I felt the other two or three times I tried to play.
It’s not that it’s bad. It’s an impressive game. But I dunno… it’s some combination of “everything feels like the same thing over again”, plus the oppressively lonely environments, the things sneaking up on you with little warning meaning you always need to be on your toes … all of which are great fun at first, but all of which eventually start to grate on the nerves, with or without mods.
I might just pick up something new, like Alice. Hoping for a Wot I Think first.
18/06/2011 at 16:59 Vinraith says:
the oppressively lonely environments
It’s funny to hear that mentioned as a negative, it’s probably my favorite thing about the game (and I have to say, New Vegas is a bit too populated for my tastes by comparison, despite that making narrative sense). Different strokes and all that.
17/06/2011 at 19:18 Chris D says:
Not sure yet but on my current playlist are Shogun 2, Space Rangers 2 and Brink. I just picked up the indie variety pack off steam so probably some more off that. I’ve been enjoying Swords and Soldiers and Atom Zombie Smasher.
Also tempted by Dungeon Siege 3. My head says wait till it’s cheaper but my willpower stat is not what it could be.
17/06/2011 at 19:25 Walsh says:
CODBLOPS MP – Want to fight about it? I enjoy using weapons that other folks don’t, like M-14, China Lake, etc.
Mass Effect 2 – finish game that I started when it was released.
Witcher 1 – ditto
Terraria – Its a good game to play while my son is watching something on Disney.com. You can have a web browser docked to the left and Terraria open on the right.
17/06/2011 at 19:25 Kadayi says:
The Witcher 2. (still) I’m a little behind the curve on recent releases, and due to exhaustion (roll on upcoming July Holiday) and workload haven’t been able to put as much time into gaming as I’d like. However of what I’ve played so far I’m pretty impressed, though if I could squeeze a few more frames out of my GPU I’d be happier. I’m hoping Nvidia release some new drivers soon that boost performance.
17/06/2011 at 19:28 Raiyan 1.0 says:
Hostile Waters after you guys recommended it. Love the narration so far.
17/06/2011 at 19:28 Bostec says:
I shall be stealthing my way through Thief Gold, the complete collection came the other day and its the only one I haven’t played. Plus I love his voice, nice and sexy.
Star trek online, still haven’t given that a go yet, might do later.
The usual TF2 shenanigans.
17/06/2011 at 19:33 HermitUK says:
Been playing some Spiral Knights this week, and it’s rather good with friend to go dungeon diving. The main ‘grind’ is that to go beyond certain depths you need to meet a gear check (Though since the content beyond would out level you without that gear, it seems smart enough). The microstransaction system is non-intrusive and takes a good cue from EVE’s timecard system – You need Energy to do stuff, which you can buy with real money, but also offer to buy it off of other player’s on the Auction House with ingame money instead. So you could easily play this to your heart’s content without needing to stump up the cash for ingame advantages.
So yes, more Spiral Knights, and Dungeon Siege 3. Couple of hours in and I’m enjoying it a lot, very reminiscent of Balder’s Gate: Dark Alliance, a PS2 game which consumed many of my gaming hours.
OoT3D as well. Because what better way to justify buying a 3DS so early on than with a port ;)? That said, I’ve run through the first dungeon and it’s a very nice visual upgrade to the somewhat ageing N64 original.
17/06/2011 at 19:33 RagingLion says:
I’ll be finishing up Assassin’s Creed 2 which I think I’m just approaching the end of (there sure is a lot to it). Absolutely loving it btw – got to be one of my favourite games ever.
17/06/2011 at 19:36 konrad_ha says:
Frozen Synapse, as every day. And I’ll finish Duke Nukem Forever, only because I paid for it.
17/06/2011 at 19:39 Esoteric says:
1. MTG: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012
2. Frozen Synapse
3. Mass Effect 2 (had it for a while, just started playing it)
4. TF2
17/06/2011 at 19:39 dr.castle says:
Hopefully finishing up Portal 2 and moving on to one of the games from the Indie Variety Pack…Capsized or Atom Zombie Smasher, probably.
Also SpaceChem if my brain is feeling limber (highly unlikely).
17/06/2011 at 19:41 oceanclub says:
I’m playing the Bioshock 2 DLC, Minerva’s Den (bought it from D2D to avoid GFWL nonsense, but you still have to download it through GFWL. Fortunately was fairly painless) and having great fun; I just love the mechanics of these games; so far, combined weapons, plasmids, traps and combing areas for pickups and clues hasn’t gotten old for me. Introduced a friend of mine to the original Bioshock and we can’t believe why he never played it (currently freaked out in the Medical Pavillion). May also make a push to finish Gothic 3 if I have time.
P.
18/06/2011 at 01:14 HermitUK says:
I played through Minerva’s Den last weekend and loved it. The new location was well made, and the story was great, especially the ending. Enjoyed the new weapon and plasmid they added, as well. For those interested, it’s just shy of £7 for an entirely new campaign taking place around the same time as Bioshock 2, but completely self contained. It’s about 4 hours long, too, which is a decent length. It feels like a lot of time and effort went into it – Minerva’s Den is how DLC should be done.
Which perhaps makes it something of a shame that it isn’t available on more digital distribution sites. Being GFWL only isn’t going to help sell this to PC gamers, especially since Bioshock 2 is over a year old now, and you’ll need the base game installed to run it. If this had been a standalone expansion, with the same price point, available on more DD sites, I reckon it would have gone down a treat, rather than mostly slipping under the radar. Heck, it was out for a good week before I even realised it had been released.
17/06/2011 at 19:42 Dana says:
Nothing special. Xcom Apoc. TF2. And LoL.
17/06/2011 at 19:47 Wolfox says:
Mostly The Witcher 2 and Space Pirates And Zombies, I guess, with perhaps a little bit of Alpha Centauri and Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012, if all goes well.
17/06/2011 at 19:48 DarkFarmer says:

17/06/2011 at 19:49 Oneironaut says:
I’m really enjoying the recent Beat Hazard DLC, so I’ve been playing a lot of that recently, but I also want to look into the 4 games I got in the indie variety pack on Steam(I already had Machinarium, but the others are all new to me.) On top of all that, I got Fallout: NV a few days ago on a D2D sale and I really haven’t done much with that, so I’ve got quite a selection of games to play over the weekend.
17/06/2011 at 19:51 The Innocent says:
I’ll be playing, ahem, Terraria. With friends. In my awesome group server. It’ll be ace.

Eschalon book II.
Seven hours in just for today.
It’s sublime.
17/06/2011 at 19:57 Rinox says:
Portal 2 co-op, and Men of War: Assault Squad with friends.
Maybe some Manhattan Project and TF2 in between.

Arkham Horror as I just bought the Innsmouth Horror expansion
Magic the Gathering
Shogun 2
The Witcher

I’ll probably try Global Agenda and the Dungeon Siege III demo, and then realize after half an hour of fiddling there is no way I can get them to run at a satisfactory framerate. Then I will agonize about getting a new GPU, then just play some more Shivering Isles at 800×600.
It’s worth it though. Even when it looks like crap, Shivering Isles is the most fun I’ve ever had with an Elder Scrolls game. Genuinely interesting quests (loved the one where you control the dungeon), loads of unique gear rather than the same seven swords with stat changes, and some brilliant environment design. I hope Skyrim takes the good things about SI into account.
17/06/2011 at 20:01 Cyberwizard says:
Metro 2033 for me. Just started chapter 4. Might also knock out a few more levels of Super Meat Boy

Shogun 2 for me, a slicey pokey death for all my enemies.
Plus a possible bit of Double Dash 4 player: one track over and over again and it’s still not old.
17/06/2011 at 20:14 Tancosin says:
Jagged Alliance 2 and Fallout 2.

17/06/2011 at 20:21 Mungrul says:
Dwarf Fortress will occupy most of my game time this weekend I reckon. I always come back to it.
A few weekends back, before the hackathon started, it would have been DC Universe Online, which I foolishly bought a lifetime sub for. Now I can barely stand to play it as the end game is just the same as all the other formulaic MMOs out there, consisting of nothing but raids.
That and no other bugger is playing the game anyhoo.
I may also try and go back to LA Noire and finish it off, but the interrogation system is so unbelievably shit compared to the rest of the game, I don’t know if I can be bothered.
17/06/2011 at 20:26 Zefah says:
Alice all day on Sunday!
The game is amazing so far.
17/06/2011 at 20:28 Enikuo says:

In no particular order I expect:
Terraria
Dirt 3
Demon’s Souls
Jagged Allegiance 2
+ finish old 360 games to trade.

I’m going for a whole cRPG weekend. Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment, Baldurs Gate 2, and The Witcher 1. And of course some TF2 here and there :P
17/06/2011 at 20:36 EOT says:
Hmmmm….not sure. I might finish Deus Ex for the first time in a decade, or play FEAR which i have just bought ooooooor play some more BFBC2 (if/when the RPS server comes back up). But more likely than that is me scrolling up and down the list of installed games on Steam um’ing and ah’ing and not doing very much deciding, before putting a DVD on and going for a nap.
17/06/2011 at 20:38 Paraquat says:
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on the RPS server, if my head doesn’t explode with rage on account of it crashing every time i change the server browser filters.

I’m a bit ill at the moment so I can’t play anything too action packed, so I’m thinking I’ll work on my boat in WURM, fight against a stupid scenario in Railworks 2, or finish Operation Arrowhead in ArmA2.

Terraria/Torchlight/Beat Hazzard Ultra/Duke Nukem Forever, oh yes!

Dungeon Siege III mostly. Maybe some strategy or turn-based larks to balance it all out.

I won’t be playing many games, because, for some strange reason, I have volunteered to work, on a Saturday, starting at 9am. I’m a student ffs… what was I thinking?
If I do find some time, I’ll likely jump back into The Witcher 2 (dark, gritty, sexy, bloody) or Drakensang: The River of Time (The Princess Bride of fantasy RPG games). Maybe some Frozen Synapse, which I was kindly gifted earlier this week, and in which tactical environs I have become a Master of Clicking. Also, there is the inevitable FOLK Sunday ArmA session.
Aside from that, I will be reading. And drinking pots of White Tea.

Just finished some BFBC2 on the RPS server, and have the ace pins to prove it :). Might have to check out some Dreamhack coverage over the weekend but I’ll probably end up going back for some more shootering. Although I have to admit the server reminded me why I gave up Rush. You guys really need to be flanking more aggressively, there’s only so much room for campers behind those rocks on Oasis.

or I may wander the Zone in one of my 3 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. Or I might see if the lates patch boosted my FPS rate on Witcher 2 to teh point where can actully beat that stupid QTE that’s stopped my progress dead until I can get a better rig.

I’m away from any games all weekend! Apart from iPhone games, but don’t tell anyone who’s playing the RPS game of neptunes pride or they’ll murder me! I’ll be playing: look smug as I escort my sister round a university visit, and then: look posh at a meal with actual military colonels and brigadiers. I might not complete that second one.
17/06/2011 at 23:07 McDan says:
The edit button is taking too long to load on this motorway, so gave up on it. You should totally play spiral knights Jim, on the RPS steam group we thought of creating a RPS guild, we then discovered how much money that cost: a lot. Might still be going though. If I was at home I’d be playing blood bowl LE as I’ve recently worked out how to score at least 4/5 touchdowns a game with my awesome wood elves. I do love them wood elves, just please? Don’t hurt them?
17/06/2011 at 23:08 Rii says:
Witcher 2 (yeah, still) and Mario Kart Wii.

Other than that, I’ve been meaning to replay Bioshock, so I can finally get round to playing the sequel thats been on my to-play-list. So I’ll likely get round to that this weekend.

Joke’s on you, I’m probably going to be playing a board game this weekend. Ticket to Ride: Europe. Do yourself a favor and try it out. Very addictive. bah, I guess not all weekend though.

18/06/2011 at 00:24 Nick says:
Probably Jagged Alliance 2 and Spellforce 2.

Well, haven´t really decided, but the options go with:
Portal 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Supreme Commander 2
The Witcher 2
Battlefronts 2
That´s a lot of second parts!
And somefuturistic strategy. Sword of the Stars, Supreme Commander or Sins of a Solar Empire.
Usually end playing just two or three of them, but those are the nominated.
The social thing goes tonight. Must visit the non virutal world sometimes.

Fallen Earth, if the game will ever finish downloading. Also, just gave RF:Guerilla multiplayer a try and liked it. Kind of sad how often primarily single player games sometimes get interesting multiplayer modes tacked on that don’t get attention. Kind of fun to have DM maps totally leveled by the end.

I’m meant to be finishing off my English assigment which is due next week, but instead I’ll be playing TW2 and Deus Ex.
18/06/2011 at 02:46 mockingbird says:
I working Saturday, but on Sunday I plan to play Fallout New Vegas (picked it up from D2D for $12.50) and TF2 of course. I’m tempted to go pick up the new Red Faction game too.
18/06/2011 at 03:17 JackShandy says:
I’m going to be trying very, very hard not to play the Deus Ex 3 leak.
18/06/2011 at 03:18 Man-E-Faces says:
Frozen Synapse and Jamestown mostly.. I also reinstalled L4D so maybe some of that also. Oh almost forgot Samorost 2 :)
18/06/2011 at 03:20 HunterJax says:
Well i think I will pull the old Hulk out of storage an find a nice roid field, so in other words Eve online!
18/06/2011 at 03:30 Beeblebrox says:
First Witcher, finally. Just had to finish reading Last Wish before jumping in Temeria. And I already can’t wait to start second one too, it’s staring at me from the shelf… This is gonna be one nice, loong summer.
18/06/2011 at 03:47 Leandro says:
Dominion, Race for the Galaxy and 7 Wonders, probably. Cardboard only for me this weekend, even though I’m dying to play Magicka but I’m saving it to try multiplayer first.
18/06/2011 at 03:53 drewski says:
Hopefully Halo: Reach, CoD4: MW and possibly some Fallout 2 if time dilates and the weekend suddenly becomes twice as long as I anticipated.
18/06/2011 at 04:58 Shadowcat says:
I’m finishing the Frozen Synapse campaign, and will return to Blood if I play anything else.
18/06/2011 at 05:31 Elos says:
Europa Universalis III – Divine Wind, now that the latest beta patch has finally made it playable on my machine. Time to slap on and waste a weekend!
18/06/2011 at 06:27 Avish says:
Still playing witcher 2 (not planty of time to put into it lately).
Will probably play it for a couple of more weekends and than start over and try to play it with different decisions. Unless something interesting will pop up on Steam sale….
Tried last night DS3 demo and not very impressed. Will wait patiently for a 20$ deal….
18/06/2011 at 08:33 Makariel says:
Will be playing Frozen Synapse while checking out the Dreamhack Starcraft 2 stream every once in a while.
18/06/2011 at 08:41 Surgeon says:
I’m still working my way through the Witcher. In fact, I’m off to kill the Striga right now…
18/06/2011 at 08:46 Big Murray says:
I have an itch to play Baldur’s Gate 2 again since I’ve discovered that there’s a mod which randomises all the loot.
18/06/2011 at 09:09 bluebottle says:
Knights of the Chailce (which doesn’t get enough love here)
and the ever-present Minecraft.
18/06/2011 at 09:22 JB says:
Atom Zombie Smasher, Frozen Synapse (need to practice for the RPS league, I’m a little rusty), Kane & Lynch 2, maybe Capsized. Oh, Champions Online a bit too. And my 10yr-old daughter has just discovered the delights of Baldur’s Gate so I’ll probably be sitting with her while she plays it.
18/06/2011 at 09:34 verily says:
This weekend I shall be studying for my final in Probabilistic Methods and Statistics.
:(
18/06/2011 at 09:51 ShadowBlade says:
Was playing Far Cry 2, but got stuck at 73% and couldn’t proceed due to a locked door (that should be open). Didn’t have any saves further back, so aaargh!
Otherwise, something called “Game Development” will occupy most of the weekend.
18/06/2011 at 10:01 MrThingy says:
Fallout 2… again. (never tire of this game)
Alpha Centauri (thank you GOG.com)
It’s retro weekend. :]
18/06/2011 at 10:03 Tainted says:
I am finally getting into Splinter Cell Conviction. Got it for cheap from steam sale a month or so ago and really struggled at first because of how different it is to the rest of the series.
I’ve put Bioshock 2 on the backburner because I lost an hour and a half of progress and struggling to get back in and replay it.
Also playing through my freebies from Sony for PS3 shutdown (Ratchet and Clank & Wipeout HD) both surprisingly good games.
18/06/2011 at 10:18 adonf says:
I’d like to play Fallen Earth(30 day trial) but the registration page seems broken. I’ll try again later.
Also broken: RPS comment pages system, but please don’t fix it, everything on the same page is fine for me.
18/06/2011 at 11:01 Tom4J says:
I hope to try that The Cat and the Coup game, its free, why not!.
18/06/2011 at 12:45 The_Great_Skratsby says:
Fate of the World hopefully, I’ve neglected it for a fortnight.
That and some Frozen Synapse, The Witchorrr Two, and maybe some UDK if that counts?
18/06/2011 at 13:30 Saiko Kila says:
I’ll play only three games over this weekend:
Dwarf Fortress
Sword of the Stars
Borderlands (to get that achievement)
I don’t have time for more :)
18/06/2011 at 15:13 Ubiquitous says:
Gotta put together an art style guide for the game im developing. Then im sure there is some Frozen Synapse in my future. Also starcraft 2 but thats always a given for me.
18/06/2011 at 20:12 ssbowers says:
Duke Nukem Forever. Suck it down.
18/06/2011 at 21:12 Myros says:
Not playing anything.
I ordered a new graphics card and I cant seem to play any game because I want to see it with my new much faster card. So now I have to wait till tuesday :)
18/06/2011 at 23:29 goettel says:
Laying down rails in Minecraft, playing out some essentially harmless sith fantasies with glowing stick in Jedi Academy’s Movie Duel’s 2, giving Terraria another shot, doing a Doom III walkthrough, lounging in Spiral Knights. Oh and maybe a spot of RTCW:ET, which is still a great laugh.
