What are you currently playing? Part 2

[Surtur]

Elder Scrolls Oblivion it is hard to believe this game came out for xbox 360 the graphics and the controls are piss poor.


I'm sure there will be a lot of bugs too.

Ok I'll give you that the graphics aren't as good as recent games(why would they be?) but the controls? I don't understand what was wrong with them? Are you saying the controls in general are bad or just on the 360?

Though when it comes to Elder Scrolls games in general the sad truth always tends to be "PC version is better then the console version" if for no other reason then a much larger list of bug fixes for the PC and of course: mods.

WWE13. I'm not a big wrestling fan but I enjoyed the games on PS2. Not having played once since that era I decided to pick this up just to give it a try. So far I'd rather have ps2 era smack down back.

Just started up Mass Effect 1 again...going to go through another Trilogy run.

I def agree with you there i got stuck on Skyrim because of all the bugs but if i had got the pc version i could have passed them supposedly.

As far as controls the character in Oblivion his movements and actions are not very good i mean the main character just swings his sword around like a blind person.

I got the new Call of Duty black ops 2 for x-mas (wanted Arcania but it wasn't there) the graphics are just amazing, the controls are really good.

My only real complaint is it is so damn linear and it feels more like an arcade rail shooter.

Thanks to THQ's N64 games I always end up giving these games a shot. Not only do they never live up, but they are usually unplayable.

Finished the Sly collection. Those time trials in the first game threw me for a few days, but I'm all done now. Currently playing Ratchet and Clank All 4 One...sigh, it's not great. It's got a new art style, which isn't bad but will throw you the first time you see it. The controls have been completely remapped, and my muscle memory is killing me. The platforming has been nerfed again, like in deadlocked, but I was expecting that. But the weapons have been kinda scaled back too, which is odd for the series. All this is to play up the co-op, which I can't even take advantage of because I have no friends. Well, no friends that play Ratchet and Clank. Even some of the skill points are multiplayer only. I need to get a second controller.

Mainly Football Manager. Steam is trying to tell me that I've put in 217 hours so far. Not entirely accurate though, seeing as a lot of that time was spent minimizing the bugger and browsing the tinterclicks, or wandering off to do stuff, like eat.
Also been doing a little bit on SWTOR with my Bounty Hunter. Really enjoying the gameplay for it, moreso than my Sith Inquisitor, which I had much fun with. I've pre-ordered this Rise of the Hutt Cartel thing, for the extra levels and a new planet to look at. £6 is reasonable for what is effectively a DLC pack (I'm paying no attention to the 'Expansion' label that it has been given). Only at level 25 so far with this character and I'm on Tatooine, sso it's going to take a while before I'm approaching the end. DLC should be out by then, so I can just carry on the fun straight away.

Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning on PS3--fun game, almost like playing a very unpopular MMO. I'm addicted to loot collection, and this game has plenty--plus the good drops are infrequent enough that the game hasn't become boring yet, and finding a good rare is a little 'joy' moment.

Phantasy Star Zero on DS Lite...level 100 RAmar with a couple decent pieces of gear, but still farming Dark Shrine and doing Eternal Tower Runs in the hopes of a Yazmikov or some other insanely rare weapon drop.

Might and Magic 2 on SNES via PSP...Leveling up a pretty decent party in this 16-bit 'open world' RPG. And I LOVE the fact that the mobs drop rare loot!!!

Alien Vs. Predator, Cappcom arcade game vis PSP...trying o beat my high score using Lin. I'm seriously surprised at how good I've gotten at this.

I occasionally fire up GTA IV for some Free Roam fun, or Dungeons and Dragons Shadow Over Mystara, also.

My friend on whose Wii-U I was playing Arkham City got me said game for my PS3. It'll go nicely with my Lego Batman 1 and 2 and DCU Vs. Mortal Kombat, as well as Injustice when it comes out. What can I say? I like pretending to be a super hero.

This week's deal for playstation plus is Retro City Rampage for free. Last week was Anomaly. Played the demo. Wasn't really interested. Good thing is free so long as I have PS+. (PS+ is pretty sweet. You practically save an average of $30 a week or so for $50 a year.)

Anyway, I'm really having fun with RCR. Is a parody of, well, "everything" in a form of 8 bit GTA.

And, I finished Dragon Age and started on DA2 to prepare for DA3.

Beat COD Black Ops 2 why are FPS so damn easy?

[sHayden]

Played some Far Cry 3, really enjoying it.
Also got the Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD Remix. It's fun, I forgot how much fun the first couple games were. Then again it seems like there have been about 8 gazillion bad Tony Hawk games. Maybe that's why I forgot about the fun ones.

Skyrim :) (still)

I've been hooked on GTA chinatown DS for some days now.
