What are you playing now? [2007-2018]

I played through most of the alpha and bought the game when it came out. About a week or two later, I gave up on it, because I found there to be a lot of annoying people and I'd already played through a billion times. The most fun I had was playing against all the devs during the alpha, or doing missions with the level designers and having them ask for input etc. It was a pretty unique experience as a player.
I'm currently playing Diablo 2 and I love it. Best game in the history of videogames.
I also own a X360 that hasn't been looked after lately. I have 3 games (Forza 2 -sadly, I got bored of it-, PES6 -just to play with friends, never play this game alone or online- and PGR3) and 10 full XBL Arcade games.

Still into LOTRO, though I'm hoping BioShock for the PC breaks that addiction here in 8 days.

i just reinstalled (amzed that the unfinished games were still there) Rogue Trooper (uninstalled at the final boss battle), Uber Soldier (had good points, but also some very frustrating stuff)....finished them both in a couple hours. uninstalled...probably not a replay for either for a long time (like i forget what i didn't like about them), though they had good parts. they were both a little heavy on combat and light on stuff like opening drawers, finding secrets, fixing machines (process). combat is so overrated.
Played and finished You Are Empty last week. For me, that was a 10/10 game, I loved every bit of it. People were bitching about the crappy visuals, they were damn sexy to me (in fact, in some areas they appeared to include far too many polys on objects, like buildings, so things ran a lot worse than they should but looked incredibly nice). Music was eery, depressing and scary all at the same time. Enemies were mostly funny to look at, and deceptively difficult when needed, also very good at hiding.
But the one thing that really does stand out is the visuals. Some places just seem so stunningly realistic and beautifull, the abandoned, dead inner city areas especially so. They also used a lot of excellent textures on everything too. Another thing I found was that I loved every single level. At no point was I going "Oh when is this stupid level going to end" or anything, I was just having a blast running through it. It's essentially a serious Serious Sam
I was checking out some of the game data and found references to things that obviously didn't make it into the final game, such as HDR There's a developer mode too that i'd like to access, but haven't figured out how.
I haven't really done the game justice in my post here, and i've left out lots more positive things, but regardless, I absolutely loved You Are Empty. A gritty, 'realistic', stylish and fun game.
*edit* I was just thinking on it for a moment. What YAE reminds me most of is Half Life 2. The visuals aren't technically astounding, but the art direction and attention to detail really bring everything to life and make it all look stunning. The storyline is also deep and well thought out, but extremely hard to understand and get into for most. But yes, now that I think about it, I would definitely compare the style and design of the game to that of HL2... The way you crawl through the 'wastelands', construction areas, into the city then out and onto a train to a gigantic monolithic tower for the 'final showdown' is all very HL2, but in a good way.

Just finished another go at Boiling Point, played it unpatched for fun to see all the weirder bugs, blow up the police station with a crossbow bolt, flying leopards etc.
I'm playing the "Renegade" MOD for BP at the moment.
You begin with all vehicle licences and weapons, easy.
Custom dialogue is neat!
Just marking time until White Gold, FarCry2 and Clear Skies are out.

"S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky" is actually a prequel to "Shadow of Chernobyl.
It will be on the same map but with a lot more colour this time:"catacombs, deserted ruins and buried palaces from times when the Sovjet Union's best days were yet to come."
No clowns in the jungle or baby gorillas but there should be plenty of stuff to find/places to explore. =))

I've decided to start playing DiRT over again. My saves were rendered useless once I reinstalled Windows, with that shitfull game deciding that they were 'corrupt' no matter what I did (even though I could boot into my old, slow, near-dead hdd and still load them fine)...
Question for anyone who might know; Is the G25 steering wheel fully supported? ie; can you use the H-shifter and clutch pedals? If not, i'm not going to bother buying one.

I'm pretty sure it'll work. Logitech's software is excellent for customizability. For instance, their Wingman Profiler software allows you to bind various buttons and whatnot with keys on the keyboard for specific games. Here's a tutorial on their website on how to use their software that may be informative as to what the software is capable of:

Bioshock utterly failed to break my LOTRO addiction since I grew bored with the new game and haven't finished it yet. Though, that said, I have gotten back into NWN2 in the hopes of finishing up more of my builds so I can export them and start the expansion with a wide variety of level 20 characters decked out with nice kit.
You'll forgive me if i'm a little hesitant to leave a $400-odd dollar purchase down to chance. I've seen lots of people saying DiRT is 'great' on their G25, but none state if they use the H-Shifter or clutch pedal at all. Everywhere else where people have asked about G25 support ends with 'Yes it's supported', but doesn't confirm the H-Shifter or clutch pedal, once again. I've seen numerous statements that in the demo the H/Clutch didn't work, but no word on the full game.
Can't be that hard to get a straight answer can it
*edit* That, and it doesn't help that the official site for the damn thing is completely useless for determining supported games. Ugh.
Also been playing Duke3d again. Build, to be specific. Re-working some maps I was designing months back that I just stopped on. Coming along nicely.
Well, there is a forum at the game's website. Maybe you could ask there?You'll forgive me if i'm a little hesitant to leave a $400-odd dollar purchase down to chance.

That's where i've been looking
Too many foreigners, too hard to understand, no straight answers. Even RFT over there can't seem to confirm it one way or the other. PS3 is supported, just no shifter. Then it's not supported, then it is, but not on PC. Then it is on PC with shifter AND on PS3 with shifter. I'm hesitant to start a thread for fear of getting nothing but "yes no it is isn't supported unsupported yadda yadda".
Maybe later :\

I'll admit it, I'm playing Stranglehold and I'm loving it.
Bugger off, I can like it if I want to!
