What are you playing? 10/22/2011

Pro Evolution Soccer 2012

Arkham City and Might and Magic Heroes VI will have to hold me over for another 3 weeks

I enjoy it, but I'm a pretty big fan of the series. I think you'd have to be, because there are tons of bugs. It saddens me that a company would release a game with so many problems. But, once past them, I enjoy the game. Cant wait for the big updates to hit and fix some of the problems.

Worth a go

Still making my way through Dark Souls.

Way too many...

Transformers: War for Cybertron

I love it so far, the story is pure G1. Amazingly for an action game, there is a lot of dialogue. I don't know how long the campaign is, because I play it off and on over the course of the week, but I'd say its about 8 hours or so. The missions are really long. If you like Transformers G1, there is a lot of stuff for the fans... like Starscream starting off as an Autobot. O.o I just started the Autobots campaign, so far it has a slightly different feel than the Decepticon campaign. You have to play them both for the whole story, and you start off as Decepticons.

You know they are making a Transformers MMO? I'm not holding my breath, but supposedly, its based on G1. It may not suck but it likely will. As for the title you mentioned, was that Dark of the Moon? Or Revenge of the Fallen?

War for Cybertron plays like Gears of War minus a cover mechanic, before every mission you can select which Transformer to play as from a selection of 3. The game itself is challenging but not 'hard'. What I like is every Transformer is in their pre-G1 form, both in vehicle and humanoid mode. That means that Optimus isn't an Earth-truck, more of a Cybertronian super-Truck that hovers, and then forms wheels when you use Boost, the wheels are normally the hoverpods, they just swing into a 'wheel' position for the boost. Kinda neat.

Like Imnickson I too am still grinding my way through Dark Souls.

Lots of Deus Ex, but I keep playing it at a crawl. I just inch through it looking at every little detail.

Just finishing up Hengsha. I'm crawling through this. Lots of projects around the house.

Dark Souls ... I've sunk 38 hours into that badboy already and no-where near to completing it just killed Queelag the Chaos Witch, took dying a lot of times before I eventually summoned two NPC's to fight by my side and destroyed her... amazing battle. Can't wait to upgrade my +10 Falchion with Quelaags soul to make the fury sword... have to get through Fens indiana jones-esque Fortress... a minefield of traps... love it!

I'd say 5 hours left in Dark Souls. Then another couple hundred when I start New game + :)

Pretty close to 40 hours. It might take longer then Ithought because the end game areas are even more sadistically challenging then I thought they would be.

I'm playing "Keep my GPA up."

It's not bad, but it looks like it could have been released on last generations hardware.

I played that back in the 80's.

Finished Rage on it's Nightmare difficulty and I kinda wish I got Dark Souls instead. I might be making unfair comparisons having thoroughly played Fallout and Borderlands though. Question to those of you playing Dark Souls, could you compare it to a 3D Zelda game but a lot more hardcore?

I heard some one compare Dark Souls to Punch Out, and it surprisingly fits . You have to learn each bosses attacks and defends so you can properly attack, dodge, and defend. Now there is a lot more to Dark Souls than boss fights but they are the toughest and most rewarding parts of the game.

No games for me for a while. Got about 20 pages worth of essays to write for next week. May reward myself with Uncharted 3 the week after next.

Today I sat down and imagined myself playing Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One.

I'm working on finishing Dead Money DLC for New Vegas, then moving on to Honest Hearts, and thinling about pickiing up. Old Wolrd Blues.

I should not post from my phone. Those errors up there are killing me.

I've been playing Dungeon Defenders on the PC while I wait for Battlefield 3, its pretty fun I must say. I will probably play it off and on long after Battlefield launches.

Just finished Deus Ex. Gonna take it back in about an hour and rent out something else. Any idea for Xbox? Picked up Alice: Madness Returns yesterday on a Steam weekend deal. Played it about an hour last night. Lots of fun. Battlefield 3 on Monday (or next week sometime at least).

Negative. Last boss was kinda weak. And I did what you guys said in the review: Save right before my choice then reload and choose another. Maybe I was just in a bad mood cause the game was ending and I had such a blast with it (and I knew I had to take it back) but it just seems they fell short on it.

NBA Jam against Real AI.

More frustrating the Dark Souls.

I too am playing as the Dark Knight. If I get bored of playing with myself (giggity), I switch it to Gears of War 3 for online.

let's see here. BF3 (anger towards MW3 for being a console port just like rage both shitty PC games) and shenanigans with Bethesda.

Arkham city while i wait for my new PC(silly labor weekend stopping all the couriers) then ive got every good pc game after 2005 to catch up on

haha nice you should do a review on your review hardware so we can see the specs

Arkham City. I think I'll play it everyday until Skyrim comes out.

I'm playing STALKER: Clear Sky... I feel like I'm a bit behind you guys...

Suppose to be studying but Warcraft III, lost in the last five seconds in one mission and just had to retry it again, despite a pair of midterms tomorrow.
And what do you know? Orcs are up next.

Arkham City. I think I'll play it everyday until Skyrim comes out.

Such a shame.

Sorry about this double post. Not sure how I did that.

I'm going to have to remove Sev as a PSN Friend.

He's always playing UC3 dammit.

Oblivion, Civ IV, and Freecell.

How can you say that Oblivion and Civ IV are two of my favorite games.

Kingdom Hearts 2, Eternal Sonata and Xenoblade.

Great so far (6 hours in). The battle system is complex and very well done. The story is interesting and they did a great job with the English voice acting. The only thing I'm not completely comfortable with are the camera controls, but that's probably because I'm used to dual sticks on my PS3.

Forza 4... way too much Forza 4

Rocksmith (and I got blisters on me fingers!)

Rage, Doom II, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Final Fantasy VII, Dues Ex Human Revolution, Resistance 3, and Gears 3. All at the same time.

I found the Wolfenstein room in Rage, which made me want to play Wolfenstein 3D, which is an unlockable in Return to Castel Wolfenstein for Xbox. So I turn on my Xbox, and I remember that this Xbox is actually my second one...cause the first one died. Damn you, cruel fate. Damn your f*cking eyes.

In anticipation of MW3 I'm replaying the campaign of MW2... yeah I know I'm a horrible person and I should be shot.... twice.... in the face.
