Whats everyone playing at the min?

Heavily into Skyrim right now, can't put it down. Although sadly, I think I have power levelled my smithing/enchanting skills too quickly as my char is now level 37 I think and I am struggling with the dragons I am now being attacked by.

Yup, you need to be careful with that I managed no nerf a character doing the same thing. I would say don't start to really grind those until you are around level 25 and have some good offensive/defensive abilities and at that point you can go and find a different shrine so you can level those skills more quickly. I like hybrid builds so I tend to start with "the lover"(? 15% increase in all skill progression, someone correct me if I have the wrong name for the shrine), that shrine is outside of markarth in the hills.

Been mostly playing Diablo 3 just recently though, with the odd hour in Fallout New Vegas.

Tanks and Dungeon Master (need to connect a usb keyboard for a difficult bit on my lappie).

Loaded up GW for B'day presents and realised I didn't want to play it a looked too difficult. Got a bone dragon ftw!

A bridge building game on my iPad..... It's not very fun

[csgohan4]

Star trek online and a bit of BF3. I hate grinding in MMORPG but it's part of the game and I need stuff

[Millennium]

Just bought Skyrim today. Ok, a bit late, and for £30 retail. But's it's really quite good!

nice

edit: also got a really fat strategy guide supposed to be worth £20. You can get both online at game for £25 I think it's worth it - just look up skyrim PC on metacritic. Wow.

[csgohan4]

Skyrimm is fantastic. I could spend the whole day walking around admiring the graphics and environment. Haven't even finished it, so vast

[Millennium]

Yeah I think that's going to be like 70+ hours if not 100!

Just playing about 6 hours today and so much left to do - and it's cool because it's actually hard (on standard diff) and I have died 3-4 times. Not sure what effect that has though!



edit: well thank god I have BF3 too! lol

[csgohan4]

It was so vast I felt my life draining and started on BF3 instead. It does help having a SSD to reduce loading times.

I've just got the UFO trilogy, aftermath + aftershock + afterlight £5 new off of fleabay
I knew of them before and played the demo of afterlight, watched a couple of episodes of lets play's but that was all.

Been playing aftermath for the past two days now, controls are clunky, no printed manual of course but after reading the pdf it's not great, it does basic explanation but doesn't help much.
eg of the clunkyness if I want give a manual fire command so I can blow up a wall that's in my way, I have to left click the manual fire button, then right click on the target (left click cancels it) but if I want to shoot an alien I just left click on it.
Camera controls are a pain, mainly down to the zoom & tilt function, not zoom or tilt but and, this means you can have it zoomed out and overhead or zoomed in and angled, not being able to have it zoomed in and overhead can make selecting individual units a right pain.
There's loads of different guns, most of which I never use, early on there's a couple of gun that are slightly better than the free ones you start with, but the ammo is limited and the free gun have unlimited ammo, there's no way to make ammo for them, although you seem to get replacements after a certain time period, but how long that is and what effects it I don't know because nothing tells you.
eg I started my guys with uzi's (free) I picked up two g36 assault rifles but only 3 mags of ammo, so I could use on of them for one mission then I was out of ammo, but then it gave me a six FN-FAL's with a load of ammo and it kept restocking the ammo, so I swapped to those, time goes on I find more pistols, smg's and assault rifles, but non are better than my FN-FAL's and I'm getting my ammo restocked so I can keep using them, by the time I've actually built up a decent amount of ammo for the other guns I've moved on to the superior alien laser weapons.

Still it was the first they made, so I hope the later games are more polished and less clunky, but even so I am enjoying it.

Race 07 (in one of its more recent guises, GTR Evolution) and looking forward to rFactor 2:

Getting back into TF2
Also once exams are over intend to finally play through most of the games I got from the various HumbleBundles I've bought

[KeyboardDemon]

I had a couple of days with an empty house so it was a perfect time to back up everything, reformat and reinstall everything from scratch. PC seems a lot more responsive now, startup times are about 20-25% faster which is a bonus.

Gaming wise:

I've put in about 7 hours in Half Life 2 Episode 2, so that game is bigger than I thought it would be, I think I might be quite close to the end, maybe one more chapter to complete.

Just started The Witcher (a prize from the Metro 2033 competition), Batman Arkham Asylum and Minecraft (I think Minecraft was a mistake, I really hate this game, I put it on to play for 10 or 15 minutes and find myself glued to it hours later and I still don't know how to play!). Also getting onto CoD:MW3 from time to time, though not played since my reinstall.

The Witcher is another good game to play, graphics very good and lot of exploring, a bit more linear than Skyrim but fun to play with and not a 100+ hour game.

I have never played a game like this, it looks like it's one of those games that people would return to time after time, I've only played through the tutorial and I'm struggling a bit with the combat side of things, so I might leave it for a while and then return to it. I'm on a mission to clear a massive back log of games that I have yet to complete.
