What's your game?

[Loco]

While you are waiting on the beta.. what are you playing?

I'm playing around with Arma 2 and the Day Z mod.

Arma 2 has some great training aspects for PS2. It's not as fast but it trains you on silhouette recognition. Friendly fire is on and team play is almost required.

DayZ is just a fun romp through the zombie filled landscapes.

[Tooterfish]

I picked up Symphony and Nimbus today on Steam. They're both great games and I highly recommend them.

[Tsunami]

I was grinding a lot on Tribes Ascend and Dota 2, but my outfit (sturmgrenadier) has a World of Tanks portal and I dl'd that since only like 3 of them play T:A and they are in the beta and I'm not :/

[TheBladeRoden]

I've been playing Dungeon Defenders, but it's been crashing my computer lately, so hurry up, Phase 2!

[TheDAWinz]

Arma 2 CO

[Spiah]

Played a little bit of Blacklight Retribution. Actually pretty fun for a free to play game.
Been messing around in Civ 5 and BF3 as well.

[Greeniegriz]

Been playing the Assassins creed series. Got LA Noire on deck.

Smite, path of exile and Shogun 2.

...Although I've been looking for a f2p multiplayer fps without iron sights that isn't A.V.A.

[MorioMortis]

Bought the whole Stalker series during the summer sales (had lost the disks in a move...), works pretty well to kill the time and freshen up on twitch shooting and long range sniping, especially on the higher difficulties.

And Thermal, what about Tribes:Ascend? It's f2p, no iron sights, and although the learning curve is there, it's not that bad. The gunplay is, however, quite distinctive.

[baldy]

Battlefield 3, Firefall, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

[Sploosh]

Going into command, I've found myself playing quite a few RTS games as of late.

[Gardamis]

Since it came out (1st of the month) i've been playing a whole bunch of Awesomenauts. Before that it was Tribes: Ascend. Also been doing a little WoW BGs when I can do it with friends.

[Kyonye]

Unfortunately real life has taken over. It also doesn't help that my computer is all sorts of messed up so playing games really is possible currently...

Alas there is hope! My new laptop should reach me by late August. I shall once again be able to become a recluse to society.

[Neurotoxin]

Realm of the Mad God, Terraria, and I may get back to doing live stream playthroughs of 16-bit and older games.

I did Super Metroid in 2:41 at 71% with emulator and keyboard. I have a controller now and I might be able to shave as much as 10 minutes off without compromising item collection. Tragically, Twitch deleted all my videos because I apparently had to mark them as keepers, so I'll probably do it one of these days.

[Captain1nsaneo]

Dota 2... lots and lots of Dota 2.
And some Orcs Must Die 2.

[RawketLawnchair]

Orcs Must Die 2: beat it, bored of it now.
Terraria: same deal, just been building random stuff.
BF3: Meh
COD:MW3: Lmfao
Counter-Strike Global Offensive: rofl

Then there is stuff like C9, RaiderZ, and Vindictus that I don't feel like playing at all.
Makes it even worse when most of the people you know online have gotten into the Beta,
so you can't talk to them all day long.

[fluffychrist]

im mainly playing smite <3

I'm in the same boat. Been playing WAAAAY more dayz than arma though. Freaking addicting.

I'm playing this text-based (and color, even!) game where there's lots of random letters, curly braces, parenthesis, and semicolons, and you have to insert the correct phrases to complete a certain task. You then run a program that sends your work to a whole bunch of people to see how well you did ...

Been playing some Orcs Must Die 2. We should get on eachother's friends lists so we can do some coop!

Also started and finished the Kindoms of Amalur: Dead Man Kel DLC over the last 2 days. Fun stuff.

Today started a new character on Skyrim, battlemage~

May i suggest the game where you start with nothing and build nice shapes, and put colors and stuff on the shape? :)

I play a game where I type archaic commands into a black screen and I then traverse many miles to a destination. In this destination, I type more archaic commands to analyze the goings on of the movement of little ones and zeros.

They call this work. I call it fun.

I have played this game of curly brackets as well as the game of shapes and colors. I would love to play both and have others call it work. That's when they pay you, you know. Sometimes quite well.

If you know of anyone looking for someone with natural talent for the shapes and colors game who studied how to play the curly bracket game, and understands I could learn any new ways of playing both quite well and fast, let me know! Need to feed my family and also fund SOE via Planetside 2 micro-transactions (the product of all of the games I mentioned).

[Monsta]

Enemy Territory Quake Wars (ETQW) and Battlestar Galatica Online (BSGO). My expectation is that PS2 will become an awesome combination of these two games.

Semicolons haunt me in my dreams and are the reason why I went into sysadmin instead of programming. Damn things.

Man i really miss quakewars sometimes. Was addicted to that game for about five years. Im hoping the same thing as you that ps2 can bring back some of that old feeling quakewars did.

Right now i havent been playing much of anything just making videos and killing time other ways. I preordered guild wars 2 the other day though so if thats as awesome as i think itll be ill finally be free of this evil monkey on my back named boredom.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm,
Age of Empires III: Complete Collection,

And some of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

What can I say I have way to much time on my hands and can not wait for the beta.

[GreenBanana]

Minesweeper on highest difficulty.

[Makkah]

Playing CLOK currently. Great new MUD with a staff that really cares about its player base.

Also playing Farkle on facebook, Red Dead Redemption (yes, still!), FF2 on Vita, and Marvel Pinball.

[wormywyrm]

SC2 is a fun game, fast paced and strategic.

Minecraft is addictive, enjoyable, worth trying... But is lacking something. A lot of cheaters. PvP is fun but difficult to find a quality server with a decent amount of PvP. After having servers shut down on you or go dead on you a couple times you will get sick of it.

Planetside 1 F ya!

Lego: Whatever All the lego games I have been playing couch co-op with my girlfriend they are pretty entertaining mindless games.

Soldat will always be a favorite of mine. Super fast paced twitch PvP sidescroller/shooter. Never gets old somehow.

[Tarrin]

I'm currently playing Mount&Blade: Warband, the cRPG mod to be more precise. Although, it provides quite frustrating experience for most of the time (damn precise archers and two-handed club-wielders), there's some fun in trying to kill as many enemies as I can with my Highland Claymore or Katana and barely any sort of decent armor. It's even better if team employs tactics during game round.

May also be playing Napoleonic Wars as well, in case if I stop being lazy and get my new credit card and put some cash on it. I heard it's like improved version of mod "Mount&Musket" where I had a lot of fun while playing with the regiment (clan) I was in. Some interesting tactics and tricks inspired by 18th-century warfare were there. Hoping to see some really interesting and immersive gameplay in Planetside 2 later on.

I don't have alot of time, but I make it! :) I'm a time generator.

Looking at your avatar...

Man, everytime I see the CDL logo, it reminds me of a watercolor I did, very similar. I'll have to show it to you guys sometime.

VERY lately, though I have been playing DC Universe. Played for the first time, the last two days. I like it, kind of fun to have an open city, graphics look slick, and I get to have random PVP and look very different from everyone. Yes, I'm on the PVP server.

[icepick]

I have been playing a ton of starfarer. Also some A valley without wind. Also some blacklight retribution, but not in a while.

[wormywyrm]

Tarrin, I also love M&B what a great game. I don't know why more games do adopt its model for combat... I hope a big AAA game works off of what M&B has started soon.

Icepick, starfarer looks like the sort of game I would like... I constantly have a hankering to play Armada for dreamcast but I cant find a top down RPG space shooter that compares.

[wormywyrm]

Damn you ice pick... I downloaded starfarer like 6 hours ago and I haven't stopped playing it yet. It is 7 AM. :doh:

[Wandering Mania]

Skyrim ... check

I also use to play Nuclear Dawn. But if you apply for comander, 5 seconds after the match starts you have some noob come into the game and immiditly try to boot you out of the "hotseat" with out you knowing it and you doing a good job to lose it for your team. It is a good RTS/FPS mix game but to meny idiots.

[KimJongLulz]

Some World of Warcraft here and there...Soon to start playing Guild Wars 2.

Other than that...eh Project Reality mod on BF2, some Space Marine with alittle Blacklight and Red Orchestra 2 mixed in.

I would love to try European Escalation, looks like World in Conflict and R.U.S.E had a baby...that was perfect.

[Rico Suave]

Other than that...eh Project Reality mod on BF2, some Space Marine with alittle Blacklight and Red Orchestra 2 mixed in.

Oh my, Project Reality, so many good memories, it has been awhile though. I tried Blacklight, initial reaction was "this is awesome!", but after about 3 hours it went downhill fast so I haven't touched it since.

Now I've been playing Ghost Recon Online since it's now in beta, that's a fun game. But uhhh... it's mainly been Hearts of Iron 3, which is on almost the opposite side of the spectrum.

[Clueless]

Been playing quite a bit of League of Legends. Have a group of friends I regularily play with a few times a week, wide range of skills but all great people. Finally starting to land some decent Orianna ults, and I think I am finally starting to perfect my Jungle Yi.

Just beat the Witcher, enjoyed it, but oh my god, Witcher 2 is quite the superior game. Deep and immersive, the story and character building are much improved. Combat is much more complex, it isn't simply spamming Igni and swinging your sword around, that gets you killed real quick. Just.. awesome.

Also just pre-ordered Guild Wars 2. No beta access to it, but I enjoyed the first game, and I like a lot what I hear about what is being developed for the second.

[KimJongLulz]

Yea...BL:R...is...slowly becoming rather un fun.

BTW, GW2 will be nothing like the first one. And you can get into some stress tests with the pre order, they announce them here and there. After BWE3 I have to admit I enjoyed it...I hope I see a noticeable increase in performance now that i've upgraded to a quad core and windows 7. (as opposed to a dual core windows vista, which I used in BWE3)

[Mr DeCastellac]

I'd have to disagree! Guild Wars 2 is a bit different than it's predecessor, but I wouldn't say 'nothing like it'. There are a lot of similarities! A lot of the changes were for the good of the game, too.

There have been so many WoW-clones since it became so popular, and they've changed the Guild Wars franchise up a bit so newcomers wouldn't think that they're just copying WoW.
World of Warcraft went to the extreme with 'kill 10 rats' quests, and Guild Wars had a little bit of that, so they revamped the questing system, so now there aren't any 'kill 10 rats' or 'collect 10 rat tails' quests.

Also, GW2 is a bit more fast paced, with the run-while-you-cast, combo fields, and roll-evading.

They also added various races to choose from, which I love.

Oooh, one more. In GW1, as you know they had the dual-class system, but everyone would just pick "[Class They Want] + [Monk]", so they took out the dual-class and just gave each class their own healing spells.

Anyways, those are just the differences, there are many many similarities. I think if you liked GW1, you'll definitely like GW2.

[Captain1nsaneo]

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade,
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm,


Good stuff, I found several bugs with them in single player though. Like you can get infinite dark raiders on the last mission against dark eldar as Necrons. Just keep using destroyer lords to possess the waves that come at you. The game bugs and lets you build more lords. You can also cause a bug that breaks the game solid in the last SoB mission using pariahs against the living saint to the point that she breaks into negative maximum HP makes the engine cough up an interesting error message and then the mission won't end. Another bug on that map involves their organ artillery tanks. Possess one via a lord and you get their special ability that can hit anywhere on the map. Thing is that the ability has no cost, no cool down, and can hit in fogged areas. So if you know where the enemy command center is... yeah.

Dark Crusade is on the whole more stable but cut scenes have interesting properties. For example in the Orc final base I got a Big mek to go into negative HP from raw damage dealt to him and then had to wait for him to regen back to positive health so I could kill him. If you know where bits of cut scenes happen you can also put down squads or buildings to mess with them. A clear memory of such was at the end of the Eldar mission the Farseer is bemoaning her failure to the harlequin while somehow managing to fight off a Space Marine force commander while in the background a chaplain works to destroy a soul shrine. That bug has something to do with how the game deals with units attached to squads.

Also the last Chaos base in SS when your commander kill the chaos lord if you max out your melee damage upgrades first he'll likely die before he stops talking. More fun in the last Eldar base as SM because you can drop pod your builders into the spot where the main Eldar base will appear at. You can build a secondary base inside their base or, do as I do, and max out your turret population inside where the base will be. The buildings just clip through each other and the turrets will do a very nice job for you. (Also remember that you only need to kill their main building to win which is spawned along the top) You can't do this with any other race though the Necrons get close as you can use the deciever to drop a fake monolith into the base and then recall all your infantry into the base.

imo, Dark Crusade is the better of the two just for the reason that bases you build stay as you built them. So if you take the time to let your enemy live longer than they normally would you can reinforce the map to the point that if you are attack you can not be dislodged. My personal favorite method is building turrets at choke points and maxing out my HQ buildings/tech so I start with relic units against their starting scouts. With Necrons this means building a lv3 Monolith fairly far into the interior of the map so I can upgrade it to an active one and just TP it into their base. Though if you want the map to go as fast as it can, build your lord and then stock up on flayed ones. Just run your lord into their base then drop a max pop of flayed ones on top of their HQ and go to town. HQ goes boom = quick win.

I've seriously played the first series way too much. Pity I couldn't get the same mileage out of DoWII. (Chorus of the Righteous Dead and Neverending Hail of Destruction are awesome, it's a crime there's no real point where they can come into their full glory)

[Xazbot]

Well speaking of mount&Blade. I've been playing it...Speaking of an AAA "M&Bladiesque" I m on the beta of War of the roses (don't ask), someone spoked of Soldat, me I play King Arthur's Gold, it's from the same guy (MM) and I love it.

Dark Crusade I do like some things and hate some things Soulstorm the same.
I do like that Dark Crusade has the manual defencive set up, but I hate how short the campain is (to little number of terratories to capture). I like Soulstorms huge ariea in the campain but hate the crappy defencive machanic.

I have also noticed that the Sisters of Battle are 100% useless because there wepons do almost no damg with out a Confessers help.

Also the Dark Eldar have a verry nice way to take out the anoying Eldar base being build as meny Raider craft as you can and max pop on Warrior and Scorge squads, load up the Raiders with the Warrior squads and move them all under the Eldar base and jump in.

The Space Marines I just build 2 land speader tempests and once all my troops are built send the 2 tempests in and drop pod my whole army of Marines and Dredknots on top of the base.

The Imprieal guard all you need is 2 Leaman Russ tanks and 3 Basilisks. Move those under the base with the Leaman Russes guarding the Basilisks, Spot the Eldar HQ with your Field Command and 3 Earthshaker rounds will take it out (it would be technaly 2 would do it but if 1 Basilisk died on the way then you are still good to go).

[SouthernGoods]

Natural Section 2 i played 21 hours the first weekend (Friday-Sunday) i got it... I still haven't got tired of it :P

[FriarFin]

I've been playing Dwarf fortress.
Because everything else is too easy.
And because it is a lot of Fun.
...
Also because losing is Fun. The same Fun.
