Re: What are you playing right now?
Silent Hill 2.

Just spent the last hour running all over the damned apartment complex looking for a coin. :sigh:

So far it's not that scary, surprisingly. It's got nothing on Fatal Frame, that's for sure.

Re: What are you playing right now?
I get the urge to add a Peterbuilt logo and some trucker lady mud flaps.

I'd totally go back to the game if they added that.


Playing Witcher 2 for the 257th time. Iorveth

Re: What are you playing right now?
In celebration of now having both a working mouse and a full set of keys, I was going to play some more PlanetSide 2 (apparently the last time I played was valentine's day), but I've gotta download 7,692 MB of updates :(

Re: What are you playing right now?
Going through the agony that is DreamCatcher's Frank Herbert's Dune, which has to be one of the worst third-person action games ever published.  I first played it long before I read the novel, but I was completely stuck at one point, so I decided to try it again and see if I can finally beat the damn thing, and see how else it manages to muck up the source material.

Re: What are you playing right now?
Haa...just in the thirty seconds, they bring up the Exit button not even working. :lol:

But seriously, besides being a horrible game in its own right, it's also an abysmal port of the PS2 version.  You know things are starting off on the right foot when you can't even use the keyboard to type in your profile name.  There's a note in the game booklet saying that the controls aren't customizable because "the engine doesn't support it."  So...yeah.

Re: What are you playing right now?
Oh, just keep watching.  It gets worse.  Though on the plus side, at least my copy spelled "Frank" properly, and the cutscene audio actually plays through correctly.

In any case, I finally beat the accursed thing.  I eked past the mission I was stuck on, got through the immensely irritating beginning to the next one, and flew through the final, which was just about laughable compared to the previous two.  Now I never have to touch that CD again.

Re: What are you playing right now?
I just dig up what game I haven't played for some time in my PC. So I recently played Fallout New Vegas. Though I play Fire Emblem Awakening on 3DS if I am not on my computer.

 
Re: What are you playing right now?
I ****ing got Cho Ren Sha working on my main machine!  :D

That's been an issue ever since I upgraded to Windows 7.

NOW fun times are going to be had! ;7

Witcher...at 1 to 0 fps when more than the sky is visable. THen after ragequitting, Arcanum. I would have gone for fallout, but the lack of "X does Y amount of damage" for weapons, bugs me.
If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.

Yeah, there's something deeply wrong with the engine, but I recommend tinkering with the video settings. It is a really good game once you get into it.

Re: What are you playing right now?
Finished grinding my Highlanders through elite.  The 732 and 733C where a snap and are fun to run but the 733P was a bit of a pain.  I want to like it but it just seems to be an unlucky steed. 

HGN-732

HGN-733C

HGN-733P

But now that that's done I can pilot for fun for a bit rather than XP profit :D

Finished Maniac Mansion. My life is ever so much closer to complete now.

Amusing article from Douglas Crockford about how the game was sanitized when it was ported to NES.

Everything was set to the minimum. My rig is just far too outdated for the game.
