Re: What game are you playing now?

in Milliways
As a $75 backer for System Shock, I got access to the Backer Beta, so I've been messing around with that for the past couple of days. Mixed feelings so far. There are things I immediately disliked, things that grew on me, and things that I found were way better than the original. So far the …

I thought the writing/story was great in Icewind Dale! It was 100% what I was looking for in a fantasy game. Yeah, I don't get the comments about it being all combat and no story. Or "Baldur's Gate without a storyline." It's actually one of the things that kept me from playing it for a long time. …

Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition I just got to the Temple of the Forgotten God. Roughly 26 hours in. Yes, I am a slow player. My playtimes typically run 25-50% longer than what it says on howlongtobeat.com or Gamefaqs. They rate this game at 50-60 hours and I'm roughly 30% through the game at 26 hours …

This might be a too new hardware issue. I never had issues with mercs just stopping like that back in the day but when I tried to play the game about 10 years ago with a newer PC it was like that, drove me nuts. That's interesting to hear! It's only become an issue with Act III for me, but part of …

Bioshock 2 Remastered I've gotten a few more sessions in on this one. Roughly 4.5 hours in so far. Like the 1st one, I find the whole concept far-fetched and hard to believe (like they could've really built this elaborate city so far under the ocean in 1959), but at the same time, I'm looking at it …

Icewind Dale Now that I'm getting some combat in, I'm remembering what I didn't like about the real-time with pause system. It seems difficult to keep characters from charging forward into the area of effect of a spell/bomb, etc. Is there a trick to keep characters put until you're ready to let …

A current RPG that I seriously want to replay is Kingdom Come Deliverance. Such a good game IMO. I need to give this one a try again. It seemed interesting, but I got annoyed early on with the fist fighting. Now that I've gone through Skyrim and Oblivion, I might also be more in the mood now for a …

Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition ...Having a good time so far and enjoying the story, dialog and cutscenes. I'm looking forward to hearing how this goes! I typically don't replay RPGs, but I am actually looking forward to replaying this one... maybe next year. I completed the original version already, …

Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition I spent several evenings this past week rolling characters then this morning I gathered my party and ventured forth. It's been a bit of a UI learning curve (I last played an Infinity Engine game 6 years ago), but I'm starting to get comfortable with it now that we've …

Planescape: Torment I decided to pick this back up and put an hour or so into it today. 20 hours in, I think that this is not an RPG , but an adventure game with light RPG elements. There are some things I really like about this game. It looks and sounds fantastic; it's hard to believe it's running …

Last night I started Bioshock 2 and got about an hour in. It's been a little over 2 years since I beat Bioshock 1, so I feel I can get back into it now. Unless I was absolutely in love with a game, i will seldom play sequels immediately, and sometimes will go years between sequels. For example, it's …

Finished Tomb Raider 2013. Yeah, I enjoyed it overall. It had its ups and downs but it was entertaining enough for me to get to the end. Pretty satisfying endgame, I must say. Took about 25 hours for me. Filename 2023-01-23 18_48_27-Tomb Raider.jpg File size 224.58 KiB Views 1385 views

Minecraft version 1.7.2 playing peacefull-creative. I have uploaded that world/game onto my blog, even though it is not done. I just want to build a city and will probably end up creating a small country of buildings. Here is a couple of screenshots of some of my city..... 2023-01-23_13.05.07.png …

Re: Most disappointing games?

in Milliways
Fun thread to go back and re-read. My contribution many years back was Ultima 8 . Since then, I've come across another that was so disappointing: Albion . Very promising DOS RPG from 1995, set in space. It starts off great! Nice story, graphics, great GM soundtrack, turn-based combat. It's been …

The shaky cam is pretty jarring for me that's why I never managed to get into it.. It's on my backlog though. Assuming you are responding to my post, Tomb Raider 2013 had been on my backlog for almost 3 years before I decided to try it. And now that I looked it up, it was a temporary giveaway when …

Tomb Raider (2013) Slowly working my way through Shanty Town now. This is a huge section with tons to explore with only a few combat sections. These are my favorite parts of this game. And oh, it looks so good especially for a 2013 game. Shanty Town 1.jpg Uh... I hate that game with passion. What …
