The Banner Saga Factions. Really enjoying that one. But I am also contemplating diving head first into EVE Online (it would be the first MMO I'd play). Is the game worth the time investment? And any tips, recommended guides or buddy invites for the 21 day trial?
I'm playing the gamebook The Warlock of Firetop Mountain and have just been killed by ZOMBIES.
Irrelevant on further examination of the rest of the thread.
PES 2013..I think i put over 300 hours in to this game haha. Otherwise couldn't play first Witcher,so i'm going to try out Risen 1,i think i'll like it because Gothic 2 GOLD is my favorite rpg game.
... I take the lives of a few to protect the lives of many. I commit acts of war to preserve the greater peace. I take no joy in killing, but make no mistake; I'll do what needs to be done. Because it's my job. It's my duty. My name is Sam Fisher, and I am a Splinter Cell.
I started playing FTL in between everything, again.
I've also been playing The Banner Saga: Factions. I really love the tactical gameplay and the art style, but I'm not really into the purely competetive and at the moment without-any-bells-and-whistles multiplayer, so I'm very much looking forward to the more RPGey single player game coming out!
In between that, I'm playing FTL.
Next I have Kingdoms of Amalamallabradoodle and Bit.Trip Presents... Runner2: Future Legend of Rythm Alien (phew!) on my list, but I'll probably play more FTL.
I've just started Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. I've been rather slow playing through recent (and not-so-recent) videogame series due to Degree/PhD related time constraints and playing an increasing amount of multi-player games with my friends (CS:GO on that front at the moment) I only played through ACII last December!
I was pleased to see the changes they made in ACII compared to the original. I began to find the assassination missions dull and repetitive. I mean, the actual assassination bit was always fun. But the mindnumbingly dull 'kill that', 'snatch this', 'run there' quests that were required before hand were starting to suck the fun from it. In ACII, that side of things was pushed into optional side-quests, with each assassination now feeling like a short, unique story that built into the whole narrative. The combat felt fluider and more interesting; a few extra moves adding more variety without the need to pre-prepare a list of combos on a sticky note stuck to the monitor.
I've played a bit under two hours of ACII:Brotherhood and, so far, it feels like ACII but better still, which is fine by me! :)
I played Dungeon Siege with several friends at a LAN and it was pretty much the opposite of what you described. To this day we can all still recall the antics we got up to in that game (often at another player's expense, and usually in an area far too advanced for our level). I guess context plays a huge role in some games.Originally Posted by Casimir Effect

Driving trucks across Europe gives my hands something to do while I listen to stand-up specials. Admiring the music while playing Brutal Legend.
Getting a bit piqued in Mask of the Betrayer about having to juggle 3 of 4 NPCs when there's no particular reason (other than encounter balance) not to have them all.
Enjoy it, while the aritecture was at its most dull in Assassin's Creed: Bronies (except the landmark structures) it is in all other ways the peak of the series, adding stuff to do which actually involved stealth+stabbing and not pointless padding. The multiplayer peaked(and started) there too as the later titles added micro transactions and a fair few balance ruining equipments.

Breaks balance a bit but makes things feel more complete. And seeing as it's easy enough to solo the game with a half decent character build, balance isn't really there to begin with.
* - put a number here, 5 should be fine (might need to be in square brackets [])
*** - just type in the name of whoever is the person not in your party, eg. okku)
I have completed Assassin's Creed: Buddenbrooks recently and I gotta say, I found it to be weaker as AC2 in almost every respect (story, setting, even the graphics felt inferior). It also has so much bloat ...
Sir, you have besmirched Ass:Bro...
Actually, yunno what, 2 did have a better story/setting, but I think I started to get "blending" around the fat guy in the party in Bro. Before that I didn't get it.
*reinatalls Ass2 curiously*

That reminds me ... I was always intrigued by the concept of AC multiplayer (yes, I know that it's basically a rip-off of The Ship) but never got around to actually playing the thing.
I guess with two sequels out, AssBro's multiplayer is deader than dead?
Oh, the sound design. That sound design is absolutely delightful.
Ass Bro multiplayer is active only on the default settings, which isn't so bad. But limited.

I define Botanicula as "the game Sigur Rós would make if Sigur Rós made games". Just like I define Proteus as "the game Brian Eno would make if Brian Eno made games" (no, Spore doesn't count).
I have been on a roll finishing games lately (mainly thanks too a cold) so I decided to pick Culpa Innata next. I am not a very smart man.

I found the exact same thing to be true. Started poorly, mainly as AC2 ended with silly things, got a bit better for the first bit of Rome then became slowly less fun as things progressed.
Any good finds? I could use some new comedy right now.
The one problem with melee builds is death claws. It's all about who can hit first, especially when playing with the JE Sawyer mod. Once you've hit them and they're on the ground you kill any of them. I've never had a weapon in a game more viscerally satisfying than the ballistic fist.
Is there any way to fix corrupted save files for New Vegas? After discovering that my old game had apparently been corrupted (auto- and quicksaves), I started a new one a few days ago. Guess what just happened? I validated the files before starting over, so I doubt that'll help.
I like the game, but starting over again would be the fourth time and I'm not sure I'll cope.
