Re: What game are you playing now?

Dark Souls: Remastered Finished! This is my third time through Dark Souls (first two times were on PS3), but first time through the remastered version. In a fit of nostalgia I played through as a Pyromancer, as this was the class I used when I first beat the game on PS3. This time I decided to make …

I was in the midst of playing an OP melee character in Fallout 4, but lost interest. I should get back to that haha. Baldur's Gate I decided to break my rule (don't go anywhere unless someone tells me in game to do it) and I went and conquered the gnoll fortress. I ended up getting just enough XP to …

Baldur's Gate (PC) I finally finished chapter 3, which is the furthest I've ever got in this game. I'm really enjoying it. Even though it's real-time with pause, it really does feel like playing a Gold Box game at times—not so much the ruleset (because both BG and Gold Box obviously use AD&D rules …

Yeah, I've also had basic DS2 for PS3 and then bouught Steam version of SotFS. It is much better ballanced (added bonfires, shortcuts and some items are replaced) and DLCs are great. DS2 is generally hated but I love it. It has the best replayability IMO. The PC version is really great. DS2 gets a …

DLCs for DS3 are... brutal. The only boss I managed to kill without co-op help was Gravetender. Other ones are just insane. I've beaten almost all "basic" bosses alone. I only summoned NPCs few times. Bosses like Demon Princes, Frieda or Gael was unbeatable for me :-( Same for me! I was able to …

Dark Souls III Finished! I had put this game off for a long time because I was getting frustrated fighting one of the bosses... but I gave it a shot tonight and was able to take him down on my third attempt. It turns out he was the second-to-last boss and the final boss was a bit of a pushover, so …

Playing a few games at once: Baldur's Gate Still making progress in this. I know people tend to rag on the "empty" wilderness areas... but if you don't want to explore those area, you don't have to! I've been just running through the wilderness areas to get from one quest area to another, and …

Dark Souls A friend is playing this on my recommendation and really enjoying it, so I decided to give it a replay. I originally played and completed it on PS3 (along with Demons Souls and Dark Souls II) a couple times, once as a pyromancer and once as a cleric. I decided to give the remastered …

Baldur's Gate Playing the original (GOG release) rather than the Enhanced Edition. I use an integer scaler app to run the game at 640x480 scaled to 1280x960 centered in the screen with black borders all around... looks absolutely fantastic. This time around I gave up on my standard single-player …

I feel bad about posting back-to-back-to-back, but can't help it haha I decided to give Pathfinder: Kingmaker another chance, as I did some research and it turns out that it actually is possible to create a party once you get through the short tutorial. You can hire mercenaries at an inn after the …

I installed a few games and gave each an hour or so, to decide what to play next: Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire / Pathfinder: Kingmaker I list these together because, even though they are quite different in mechanics, they are similar in style. I just can't get into these, and I think it comes …

AD&D Curse of the Azure Bonds (PC DOS) Finished! Overall, I enjoyed the game, but felt it was quite a step down from Pool of Radiance. I'll get the bad out of the way first. The structure of the game is actually pretty lame. It's "nonlinear" in that you can tackle the middle portion of the game in …

Curse of the Azure Bonds I went through and explored all the optional areas. Even though they were just mazes with "boss" encounters after X amount of random encounters, I didn't mind it due to how fun Gold Box combat is. Having said that, the optional dungeons (even the required areas, really) are …

Curse of the Azure Bonds I decided to do some "exploring" (you don't really explore this game, just select points on a map) instead of continuing on with the main quest. For all its faults compared with Pool of Radiance, it at least does provide you with some degree of freedom, including some …

AD&D: Curse of the Azure Bonds (PC) I decided I'd pick this one back up, as I'd already made a lot of progress in it. I'd previously got two out of five of the titular bonds removed from my characters and was a good ways through the area for the third bond. After a few minutes of getting back into …

Hello clueless1, and thank you very much! The ending still blew my mind even today, and even though I already knew the twist from reading interviews with Garriott, etc. (the wine I have been drinking may have played a small part in that haha). I've played all the games on my list and have made some …

Ultima III: Exodus (PC) Finished! I used the fanmade upgrade patch to play through the game*. The patch also adds MIDI music, and it sounded great playing through my Roland Sound Canvas—I especially liked the creepy dungeon music! Even though I complained a bit about combat earlier, I did really …

I think this is more a problem specific to the Ultima series, which has always placed more importance on exploring a nonlinear world and gathering information to solve a multi-step quest than on compelling combat. I guess this is why the combat strikes me as so annoying in Ultima III and IV—the …
