What game are you playing right now? #2

Finished GTA 4 - I stopped playing ages ago because I got stuck on a couple of missions and not knowing I was only five or six from the end, I let it collect dust for a few months.

 

I attempted to play Dwarf Fortress.

I didn't last long.

 

Playing through Fallout Tactics for the first time. Even though I bought it six years ago. Maybe more. Shut up.

It's, uh, fun. If not very deep. Not exactly Jagged Alliance 2. But, y'know. Super Mutants. Miniguns. Flying limbs.

 

I'm still having fun playing DotA on WCIII. It gets REALLY frustrating...

 

And half of that is just from getting a good game up and running

 

Currently playing American McGee's Alice. For a 9 year old game it holds up fairly well.

 

Trying to complete Farcry 2. It's really good but I'm sick of the respawning enemies at guard posts! Most of the time, I end up trying to find ways to get around them.

 

The best things in Farcry 2 were the stealth system and the ending. The quests up until then sucked.

 

Diablo II. I enjoy it more now than when I first played it.

 

Wing Commander Prophecy
Wing Commander Secret Ops
Wing Commander IV
Freespace
Starlancer
X-Wing Alliance

Does anyone detect a theme? I'm still not over being pissed about the demise of the space sim genre.

 

One at a time, one at a time!

Oh yeah, you forgot the Elite series in there. For shame!

 

Playing Mysteries of Westgate. it is really a great mod, the ending feels a bit rushed (guess they learned that from obsidian ), but the rest is very well done, with some well written npc's and some very hard battles

 

Diablo 2!

 

The Witcher (second time through. EE this time) and Civ 4 (this game is like crack).

 

Which is why I uninstalled it. Love that game. Hate that game.

Do you have the expansions? They add a lot.

 

Still playing Oblivion, adding more and more mods as I go. The best ones so far have been the one that changed the menus to something more pleasant to the eye (I detest large icons and fonts in general) and the one that exchanged the levelled creatures for something not levelled.

I've just bought a copy of Civ4, the complete edition, which also features the expansions Warlords and Beyond the Sword. At only 10 Euros, I figured it wouldn't hurt to see what all you people were getting so excited about for myself.

 

Drakensang. D&D but not as we now it. A good first try that deserves more.

 

Yes. The expansions really are great.

 

Due to exams I only have time for the odd game of Street Fighter 4, though it's bloody good. I recommend it to anyone who liked the old SF games.

 

Played some Civ4 last night, and I find it addictive in the same way as Settlers 2 and HoMM 3. Once you start playing, it's really hard to stop, so playing session tend to be longer than I'd wish, but there's not much pulling me back to the game once I've finished a map. No overarching campaign or compelling story which makes me come back for more the next day.

Also, I've no idea what I'm doing when playing. This game almost requires a strategy guide.
