The "What are you playing?" topic.

[frogbeastegg]

I'm done with Valkryie Profile. Nice game. The sequel was recently given a PAL release date, at long last and months after I'd despaired of it being released here; I enjoyed the PSP port of the original game enough to pick the second one up at some point.

Now I'm giving my DS a turn for lunchbreak amusement. I'm trying to satisfy my craving for Phoenix Wright II by playing Another Code: Two memories, another of those plot based puzzler types. It's good. It's also flying by, and a short game. At this rate I'll have it completed in days.

Played the Galactic Civilizations 2 gold demo a bit in the alst few days, uninstalled it yesterday since it was seriously interfering with my work

I had a wonderfully powerful civ built up in the last game though, i had researched about 50 techs in 150 turns when none of the AI even had 20 (okay, they were set at beginner...)

I'll have to get that game, eventually.

[Csargo]

HoI2. Still waiting for that fricken M2 patch.

[frogbeastegg]

Puzzle Quest. I would have posted that fact sooner, but I was too busy playing it. I like it so much I started a thread on it.

(Still plugging away at Dragon Quest VIII and Another Code)

[Craterus]

Just completed Vice City Stories on the PS2. So I'm replaying Vice City. Running out of games rapidly though. May have to buy the PS3.

[sapi]

As you can tell I've got way too much time on my hands atm, being on holidays and all

Can't really decide on anything atm; playing SupCom a fair bit and Mount&Blade a little, jumping between games otherwise.

Also played the hl2 mod 'Minerva' - looks good

I'll definitely get back to M2TW when the new patch is officially released, hopefully some time this week.

[TinCow]

Currently playing Jade Empire and The Battle of Wesnoth, in addition to occassional rounds of Civ 4 and M2TW. And I still have that Oblivion game going... Urg, too many games!

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Back to HOI2 with the Kaiserreich mod. I'm going to finish this game as the German Empire, go back to HOI2 regular and finish a game as Britain, and then install Kaiserreich again, which will hopefully be out of beta stage by that time.

By the way, it's a great game, even in beta. I'd certainly recommend it. A lot of work went into that mod, and they're still pouring it in.

[Craterus]

StickCricket, more than anything else.

But also playing Shogun again.

Well I just finished an epic 12 hour AoE II game.

Makes me want to play AoE II again, but my CD broke. I guess I'll have to buy a new one. wololo

[naut]

Shouldn't cost much, it's pretty old now.

[frogbeastegg]

Finished Another Code in 5:18 with the best ending on my first go. It was neat, but needed more puzzles. It was more an interactive story than a game. Respect is due for its inventive use of the DS' features, such as reflecting the image on one screen off the other to find the solution to a puzzle. I don't regret having played it; I am definitely glad I got it quite cheaply.

I've now started Phoenix Wright 2. All together now: "Objection!!" I expect to finish this one quickly; it's the sequel to the game I got with my DS, the game which is still my favourite on that handheld.

Still plugging away at Dragon Quest, and still trying to think up a good excuse to sit in the office and play Puzzle Quest on the days when I'm in charge of the shop and not needed on the shop floor.

[Kekvit Irae]

I love AoEII so much I now want to play it. Fully upgraded English Longbowmen with Trebuchets = castle killers. Nothing except huscarls can break through.

My profile shows exactly what I'm playing. CSS, DoDS, M2TW, FM 07 and MTW.

--Company of Heroes (again), but now I'm also modding for it to put it more to my taste. Nothing like infantry support in the form of a beautiful Firestorm artillery barrage of incendiary rockets raining down heavily for about 10 seconds long (or longer) with a great radius, as your infantry lies in wait to advance thereafter, they might even get hit by a lone rocket descending when you thought it was over already :) A true Terror weapon and it greatly damages a large area now.
(The only annoying thing about this modding is trial-and-error )

--Chrono Trigger again (not so much though... have played it in English, French, and now in German(!)... looks good and it's nice to see how those translations work out). If I could only find that converter I'd play it on the old console itself.

[The Spartan (Returns)]

got Red Orchestra last friday and played it madly. that's why i was so inactive.

CoH occasionally. imo CoH is better than M2

[edyzmedieval]

Red Orchestra is a really wonderful game. Too bad the graphic spoils the fun.

[frogbeastegg]

Started a M2TW game as the English yesterday using the pulled 1.2 patch. So far so good. I may actually finish this short campaign, shock horror!

Phoenix Wright 2 (finished the first case, about to hit court for the first time on the second) and Dragon Quest VIII (no progress; I seem to be in a boring section) still on-going.

[Csargo]

Back to HOI2 with the Kaiserreich mod. I'm going to finish this game as the German Empire, go back to HOI2 regular and finish a game as Britain, and then install Kaiserreich again, which will hopefully be out of beta stage by that time.

What does the Kaiserreich mod add? Or do you have a link handy?

@frogbeastegg:Hopefully your not disappointed.

Still playing my HoI2. I really need some new games.

Caught between Battlefield 2 and Oblivion. On BF2 i've discovered the wonders of the 'support' class, and on Oblivion i've discovered the wonders of a mod i downloaded that gives you the ability to buy blackpowder bombs from the 'Copious Coinpurse'. Nothing like bringing terrorism to Cyrodiil.

I can see it now...

Well after far too long (at least two months by my reckoning), I finally have a brand-spanking new PC.....and what a joy it is.

Since I picked it up on Saturday, I've already played a fair bit of GalCiv 2, which never really did run on my old machine. I've also gotten back into MTW/VI, having started up a new Spanish campaign. In addition, I downloaded and played the Medieval 2 demo a couple times, although I did so mostly to stress-test my computer's video/graphics abilities. (I'm happy to report everything ran smoothly at max settings. )

My newest addiction, however, is SimCity 4. Egads, I've been having way too much fun building roads & highways everywhere!

[The Spartan (Returns)]

replaying Kingdom Hearts 2 btw. love that KH series, no.1 in my top 5 list. i want KH3 now!!!

[professorspatula]

Good grief, what are you doing posting outside of the Medieval themed Total War forums Martok? I thought you got a nosebleed if you left their confines!

Anyway, I am currently mostly playing my own modded version of RTW which I am writing an AAR for it. Although it's about 10 times more fun to play the game than actually knuckle down and write about it.

I also have had a few skirmishes in Dawn of War and Total Annihilation. I was playing GCII not that long ago, but I never really enjoy the campaigns much. Plus after a while it crashes and I can't be bothered to replay the last 5 turns or whatever when I have hundreds of moves to redo.

MTW is calling out to me as well. It's telling me I must continue my Crusader campaign. I must resist!

Hmm. I haven't had any problems thus far, at least not with the game's stability. I'm having a bit of difficulty remembering how on earth I get my economy going, though. (It's been a little while since I played -- and boy, does it show!)

Bah. Come back to the Dark Side, professor; you know want to!

It's an alternate history mod - what if Germany had won the First World War?

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...6&page=1&pp=20

It's still in Beta, but it's worth a look. There are some bugs, but you can fix some of them yourself - just look at their own forums, in the bugs section.
