What are you playing now? [2007-2018]

[Scott_Arm]

I'll admit it, I'm playing Stranglehold and I'm loving it.

Bugger off, I can like it if I want to!

If I had a better PC, I'd probably be playing it too. I wasn't blown away, but I thought it would probably be fun enough to kill time. Actually, it might be hard pressed for time with TF2 goin right now.

 

[digitalwanderer]

I've caught the TF2 bug a bit, I'm "digisan".

i fired up quake 3 for the first time since my upgrade - 1000 fps f***k me

i fired up quake 3 for the first time since my upgrade - 1000 fps f***k me

Seriously? I remember once seeing a P4 clocked to death (5ghz... was mind blowing at the time), and a 9700 Pro hitting 500fps during the benchmark. Everyone's jaw was on the floor. But 1000? Nice.

I'm just finishing BioShock tonight, up to the utterly retarded and stupidly dragged out part where i've turned myself into a Big Daddy and have to protect degenerate kids with 18yo-hooker type voices as they dissect clearly-intentionally laid bodies while we get repetetively attacked by spawn-a-minute enemies who seem to be oblivious as to the acknowledgement of my existence and would rather spend their dying moments attacking a small child that's jabbing people with needles. Ugh, it should've ended shortly after you...you know, Ryan, and Fontaine... There, it should've ended there. This shit is just boring now (at least i'll get the good ending).

After that i've got World in Conflict (completely uninterested in this one, but a friend of mine at the local PC parts store I often buy from let me hire it out for a week at the price of an overnight, so why not). But I suspect the next game I move onto tonight after LongetivityShock will most likely be Duke3d. Got a lot of work to do on my Voyager map now that i'm back into mapping after a long hiatus. :smile:

You know what's even worse about that part? The turrets shoot at the little sister you're escorting. At least they did when I beat the game the second time (as evil) last night. And yeah, the evil ending? Craptastic. The last few levels of the game (everything after Ryan) just cease to make any sense whatsoever. Oh, well, the game is still pretty good for its varied gameplay, and the good ending isn't bad.

I think tonight I'll probably be playing some more of the Sins of a Solar Empire beta. The game looks to be fairly promising so far. And after I get back home, I'm probably going to pick up World in Conflict, as I really enjoyed the demo of that game. But I'm not sure if I'll wait until after I beat Metroid Prime 3 or not (I just got a Wii a couple of weeks back...great system!).

TF2 beta/prerelease/whatever it is. It is so goddamn good.

The 1.1 patch for NWN2 came out a few nights ago and IMO really makes some nice, comprehensive improvements to the game (performance, camera, party control, etc.). The game runs sooo much better now compared to its launch it's not funny. And it has a solid OC. At this point, my only real complaint with the game is its usage of forced party members at certain times, a complaint the devs apparently heard and have avoided duplicating with MotB. Which, #@*(!(#, is ow available in Europe but not here in the states for another 10-11 days.

 

[Moloch]

Neverwinter Nights- Mask of the Betrayer.
Played about an hour into it, pretty good but one of the chars is really cheesy...

 

[Gollum]

Civ IV: Beyond the Sword (PC) - The just-one-more-turn-syndrome hit me again, Civ IV improved in almost every way. Its like a drug.
Bioshock (360) - Great game, but Civ IV currently has the upper hand, so I don't play it quite as much as I'd like to.

 

[John Reynolds]

Neverwinter Nights- Mask of the Betrayer.

Hate you. Hate Atari more, though.

 

[bitwise xor]

Trying to play Disciples II...but so very, very bad at it.

 

[Gnerma]

Loads of Team Fortress 2 mostly (steam name Gnerma).

Also Final Fantasy 12, Resistance Fall of Man & Stranglehold.

 

[Moloch]

it's pretty good

 

[bdotobdot2]

Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts - I'm enjoying so far.

 

[John Reynolds]

it's pretty good

Hope you die before you finish it.

Just read that there's a hotfix available for NWN2 + the .110 patch with MotB then installed, which apparently introduces quite a few nasty bugs.

 

[Cartoon Corpse]

I've gotten stuck a few times but my fighter/weapon master combo is pretty good.
My weapon sucks though, only +4 with 1d6 fire and ice damage, the uh.. wizard in your party who makes them isn't highest enough for uber dmg yet, need to be 24, shes only 22 i think.

Yes there's some bugs, related to graphics- 8800 series has a bug that enabling high enviomentral shadows causes a blank screen+ blinking curser

I've thought about a cleric or cleric PrC with weapon master as a good combo. You can buy and make some really powerful stuff in the expansion from what I've read so far. The old 1st edition player in me has a hard time fathoming anything better than +5, though.

One nice high-level character is a bard/red dragon disciple/some sort of fighter character. Bard's just there for the red dragon disciple levels, but also allows for some very limited spellcasting even at high levels with the new ability of Bards to cast in medium armor (you can use Mithril full plate at high levels and still cast spells).

For the first NWN, I think the most powerful character I ever made was one of these guys, and I made him a weapon master at high levels (fighters get one more attack, if you make 'em a fighter early, but weapon masters have some really sweet feats). The stat bonuses for the red dragon disciple are just awesome.

Also fun is the shadowdancer class, not so much for pure power, but more just for being fun to play.

Yes powerful stuff and the mobs drop tons of cache, I already have 308XXX gold . I need to buy/find/make some powerfull armour though, I'm just wearing the plate that your char (if figther I guess) you get in the begining of the game, 8+1 and a few weak bonuses.

in the NWN underdark xps I had a decent RDD combo, forget which other classes hehe. I did have a druid/monk combo that was sweet. My most powerfull build would have been the Wizard I made, not sure if NWN2 balanced them but in NWN1 if you pick the right spells it's crazy how powerfull you get. empowered Issacs greater missle storm+ a spell to hold the mob like one of Bigbys spell= laughably easy.
My rogue/assassan combo was nice too, as was my rogue/shadow dancer. They're fun and very powefull for mobs who dont aren't immune to crits. walking around them steathed is great, which shadow dancers are great at since they can walk away and resteath heh.
my Scythe weapon master was uber powerfull for non crit immunes as well, hitting for 140-170 on crits.
In this game with the +3 greatword and 1d6 ice and 1d6 fire dmg I crit for 100-140,
