Installed Shogun 2 a few days ago. Not so sure I like it. The gameplay is an improvement over ETW, but I hate the battle UI, and I'm NOT a fan of feudal japan era.

Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Not much since playing Hoard a bit a couple days ago. I still play a lot of L4D2.
Gonna start the AvP 3 game soon.

I finally beat the Irish guy in Mafia II. Yay! Now I am repeatidly getting killed by the greaser gang. :/ Still fun though.

That would put quite the damper on your enjoyment of S2 then.Originally Posted by Kekvit Irae
A big part of the enjoyment is the atmosphere and setting, at least for me.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
I'll play more of it later, after I take a look at Magicka
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Shogun 2 of course, but also lots and lots of Dawn of War II: Retribution
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Is the AI halfway decent or is it still pretty brain-dead in offline skirmishes? I remember in DoWII vanilla it practically built nothing. But have heard good stuff for Retribution.. Hmm.

Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Is the AI in DOWII any improved with all the expansions its recieved, or is it still pretty much an online and campaign only game?
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
I have no idea. I only play ranked online.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
I've gotten back into Oblivion. It's fun. Though lockpicking is quite difficult. I've been known to break 15 picks on easy locks. Half of that on very easy locks. :/
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Lockpicking is easy as hell once you figure out the sounds. There's no point in making it a major skill once you know the trick because you will literally never lose lockpicks.
To put it simply, click when you hear "ka-TINK" instead of just the one noise.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Or you can just use spells! That having been said, I never learned that trick, and so relied on semi-reliable spells. Unlock anything within 15 feet? Awesome. Cast on a wall if you need to open a gate or something.

Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
In between DoW2 and TWS2 I've been sneaking in some Deus Ex. Still a claaaaaaassic game, and there are some really neat tools to modernize it a bit.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Spells?! Sounds?! That never even occured to me! Thanks alot for the advice! :D
Can't go wrong with JC Denton! I play that game too from time to time, but having played thru it so many times, after the Hong Kong level, I tend to lose interest. Still a good game though.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
I've just replayed Deus Ex for the godknowshowmanyth time and I've never felt the need to spruce it up with graphics mods. Gameplay is not a function of graphics, to butcher a JC quote.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Its not a matter of sprucing it up, its a matter of stopping it from running at 500 fps in fast motion and fixing the graphics from being a completely washed out, hideous mess. The game just does not like new hardware.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Damn you all.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
You just need to set it to run on one core, usually fixes any issues.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Double post. So I'll admit to playing a bit of Ceville.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Plaing Crysis 2, mostly multiplayer at the moment. THis is without a doubt not only the prettiest game ever released but also some of the most fun I've ever had in any game ever. I really can't praise it enough.

Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Im dying to play Crysis 2. But I heard that its kinda buggy.
Is that true?

Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
The only thing I've seen from Crysis 2 multiplayer is the demo TotalBiscuit played on his "WTF Is..." series.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Going back to the Killing Floor. A decidedly different take on zombies from L4D.

Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Have been playing East Indian Company lately. I really like it. Currently, in a free campaign as Portugal, I have over 10 ships and most are captured from other companies. I have a real pirate campatin. He and his cutter have stood against many enemies and managed to capture many ships. He is the only one I actually use for fighting. A really good game...
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
I tried X3 for the first time. Crap voice acting, poor cutscenes, no tutorial, confusing UI...
Needless to say I uninstalled it after two missions. I'm going back to Freelancer.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
Freelancer.
Every couple years I reinstall that and do a run through of the SP campaign. So much fun, and the graphics have aged relatively well. They've got that 'charm' certain games get after they are no longer modern. Plus it helps I really dig the game universe, so much fun to explore/learn about.
Wish they'd make a sequel.
Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
There are a few bugs I've noticed by for the most part everything is fine. It remains one of the best games I've played in a looong time.

Re: The "What are you playing?" topic.
I have not played a video game in about two months. I think something is wrong with me.

Just loaded up Super Meat Boy. So much for getting that Uni work done...
