NWN1 HOTU
Nexus, which disgusted me so much on a particular mission, each successive attempt I made going worse, I quit.
Most of the Wesnoth campaigns I've played, except for Burning Suns and South Guard.
Homeworld 2, whose "adaptive AI" doomfleets (13 goddamn Vaygr battlecruiser to my 1, 10 movers, and full interceptor complement, wtf?) pissed me off too much. Skirmish was quite good, however.

Think that's it...

Re: How does your backcatalog of games look like?
IIRC you had the logistics ship, two destroyers, the Angelwing of course, and a couple frigates. Some ships get under the logistics ship's shields and you have to chase them down, and then there's a siege laser business problem

The frigates handled the under-shield ships problem once well enough, letting my dessies and me go after mister siege laser trio. And then they proceeded to murder the Angelwing, so that was a bust. I spent a few times improving on this basic plan, and dying or the logistics ship dying, before I gave up on it.

First the frigates stopped being able to handle the under-shield ships, forcing me to commit the destroyers to support them and skirmish with Angelwing until that problem was dealt with (originally, I was trying to kill one of the destroyers, but it became rapidly apparent skirmish was the best I could do.). The siege laser proceeded to blow up the logistics ship. Then I said screw it, these frigates are expendable, and sent them to just try and delay the under-shield ships. The destroyers and Angelwing lead the charge again, and this time we actually succeeded in destroying the battleship (despite being aiming for the damned destroyers, as easier to kill, and you need three ships for a siege laser), only for Angelwing to be crippled and finished off by its two destroyer escorts while trying to disengage, right before the guys under the shield killed the logistics ship too, for insult to injury.

Progressive plans continued to show progressive deteroriation still after about 40 iterations of "how can I do this better" resulting in things becoming worse. So I uninstalled the game. I still have it but haven't played it since.

That mission's really hard, but it is doable and arguably even fair. I got it in four or five tries on my last playthrough.

It takes work, though. Your fit at that point may be bad - do you have your ship's power grids maxed out via lots of support generators and energy cells?

ahhh, I had trouble with that at first too. What I used to do in the beginning was to just build up fleet at the end of some missions and use it fully. But when I came to the gate mission that tactic fell apart. So i started scuttling ships before that one until I faced the Veygr army with good numbers and them not being overtly powerful.

Re: How does your backcatalog of games look like?
Lessee, what do I actually have on-hand and waiting for me at the moment...

--The first three Metal Gear Solid games; I'm mired near the start of the first one at the moment.  The isometric camera view is total ass. :p

--Shadow of the Colossus, which I've been playing very sporadically over the course of a few years yet am only halfway through.  Utterly fantastic game; if it and ICO are any indication, buying a PS3 would be worth it for The Last Remnant alone.

--.hack//Infection.  I'm not really an RPG-type person in the least, but I was a big fan of .hack//SIGN, so I wanted to see how the story continued.  The later games get rather pricey even used, so who knows how long it'll be before I track them down.

--Ace Combat 4 and 5, which I really haven't even touched.

--The original Devil May Cry, which has kicked my ass with its wonky control scheme and godawful fixed camera.

--No More Heroes, which I'm not particularly far into.  Ah, SUDA51, you and your craziness.

--The last two Ratchet and Clank games for the PS2; I think I'm somewhere near the end of the second, but I haven't touched it in a long while.

--Any number of games on GameTap that I need to get around to.  I still need to start in on Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, I'm mired near the start of the original Hitman (man, the textures are dated), and I just dipped my toe into Tachyon.  Lots of other stuff on there, too.

--Above all else, Chrono Trigger.  I'm parked right before the final boss on my first play-through, yet because I'm such a lazy ass, I haven't yet sat down to actually beat it yet.  At least I finally understand why it's received such universal praise over the years.

I will ask that you explain yourself. Please do so with the clear understanding that I may decide I am angry enough to destroy all of you and raze this sickening mausoleum of fraud down to the naked rock it stands on.

Impressive list MXLM

I would have added some of my 4X games to the list if it weren't for the fact that most of them don't have a campaign/can't be fully completed

Lol..that mission was relatively easy. Snipe the siege laser and run back under the Fortress Shields.
I don't recall having any big problems with that one. Then again, I'm awesome :p

Lots of fond games...yes. I do have many new ones, someolder ones and a few even older ones still (those that age gracefully).

I've made a little order for myself. In order of how far I've come in them and how much I think is left, basically so I can get the games of my list quicker.

1.Deus Ex (Although, considering i just did a long mission which i thought was near the end but wasn't I really should rethink it)
2.Hitman Blood Money
3.Tron 2.0
4.Fable


Also concerning mech4 (if it is vengeance you're talking about). I have a problem with that game, It freezes whenever it plays the small videos in the briefing section, the game freezes but i can hear the audio of the video continue

 
Re: How does your backcatalog of games look like?
Hmmn, bunch of the stuff is off GoG:

Painkiller: Overdose
Descent 1+2
Messiah
Redneck Rampage Series
Jagged Alliance 1
Xcom 3
Earthworm Jim 1+2
Command + Conquer Red Alert
Command + Conquer Tiberian Sun

Command + Conquer Red Alert 2 + Yuri's Revenge
Command + Conquer Generals + Zero Hour
(basically I have the first 10 year DVD and I've only played through the first good guy campaign and part of the bad guy one)
Dawn of War (got bored)
Homeworld 2 (got bored)
UFO: Aftermath
UFO: Aftershock
UFO: Afterlight
Giants Citizen Kabuto
Fallout 2 (got bored)
Thief 3: Deadly Shadows (got bored)
Starsiege (couldn't pass a certain mission)
SiN (got stuck - not episodes, original game

-**** I've only played 2 games off my collector's CD!

Think that's it.

Got bored generally means I started playing but lost interest at some point and haven't gone back to it.
Playing Xcom2 right now. Trying to finish it for once. I'm already in "super easy land" (meaning I've research MC and Disruptor Torpedoes).

Ooops, also forgot:
Prince of Persia Two Thrones
Crysis

Re: How does your backcatalog of games look like?
Yeah, my JA2 is 1.13, although I've only got that one and not the others that you speak off. Any major changes they do?

Re: How does your backcatalog of games look like?
Yes. Quite a few...quite a few.

Wildfire changes 90% of the maps - the game mp is bigger, better, more detailed and more sensible. Adds more quests and changes some quests, etc..

HAM3.5 adds supression and mostly changes the flow of the battle, but there's also more.

Lots' of things. I'm currently waiting for the latest version of SANDRO's mod,as it changes the feats/skills to work far, far better and more sensible (and balanced), fuses some and adds others.

It's not easy on the higher difficulties, unless you've got precisely the right fit waiting for that mission.

Re: How does your backcatalog of games look like?
I had a large backlog a while ago, but finished most of the games over the last summer. Some that still come to mind are Mirror's Edge, Batman: AA, Tales of Monkey Island (want to wait until the full game is out), Incoming Forces, Blade Runner, Homeworld, several FS2 fanmade campaigns, the evil path in the TNM mod for Deus Ex, the FE mod for Battlezone 2 and the Ball mod for UT3. Maybe another Infotron playthrough as well, if I can get it to run at the right speed.
