SWTOR. GSF is helluva fun. Gunships can go burn in the chaos though.

Finished Tomb Raider, onto the original Assassin's Creed (which has been in my backlog for some time).

I highly recommend you don't got for 100%.  It's not worth it.  AC1's only redeeming features are the origin of the concept and the story; the gameplay is awful if you've played any of the more recent ones.

Yeah, I've noticed there is a lot of grindy bull****, so I think I'm just going to stick to the bare minimum required for the story progression just to see it through.

....yeeeaaaahhh, not seeing this through.  I made it halfway through before the ****ty console port-ness and obtuse game mechanics pissed me off enough to simply look up the storyline and delete it from my hard disk.

Between the absolutely brutal autosave and the frustrating I'm-an-assassin-but-this-really-isn't-geared-toward-stealth-assassination (so many other games do this so much better) I'm done.  I've done my last Alt-F4 out of that piece of crap (because taking 5 minutes and 6 menus to quit a game is fun, Ubisoft!).  Ugh.  Not $7 well spent at all.

Wipeout 2048 and Gravity Rush on the Vita.

Also FF9. Again.

Ah, FFIX. I'm not playing it. I'm currently playing fan-made campaigns for a game called Freespace 2. You may have heard of it.

But someday, I hope to carry on with my second FFIX save. All I want to do is get to Cleyra. I want to have a save at that beautiful place.

Iggy's Reckin' Balls. N64 platformer-racer.

This game is seriously awesome, and I'm still kinda sad that no franchise or sequels ever came of it. It's pretty unique as far as I'm aware.

If your opinion of the game is anywhere near mine Ryan, you'll be back in about two weeks. :P

Meaning you finished it quickly, or hated it?

Because you're talking to someone who spent 130+ hours in Morrowind and Oblivion (with their DLC/expansions). =)  And from the 2 hrs I've spent in Skyrim so far, I see much the same is going to happen here.

Re: What are you playing right now?
Very soon: MegaMek.  Lots and lots of MegaMek.

The reason: Recreating the invasion of Washburn in 3144 by the Wolf Empire.  The campaign pits six Clusters of Front-Line Clan troops against 17 battalions of Inner Sphere line units and militia.

Re: What are you playing right now?
Played Oblivion and finished it (well the storylines.) Played Skyrim, never got farther than Hrothgar. It all just feels like I had already done the same before.
The reality of it is that it is just oblivion with Draco-Vikings to me.

whoever invented the Silent Realm trials in Skyward Sword is surely a troll.

Re: What are you playing right now?
you sound like my mom :P

the last one is the only one i actually failed.  at least on the second playthrough.  i started the game once a year ago on my mom's and got as far as the sand ship before i had to go back home.  i think i might have failed the second one once that time.

the final boss is pretty absurd though

Spoiler:
take lots of guardian potions

Ah, I still have that. Didn't get very far though, deck is stacked against you so much. Unless you're just playing multiplayer, good luck taking all of Saustralasia, you'll need it. :)
