Whats everyone playing at the min?

[virtuo]

I'm just dipping in and out of a few ps1/ps2/dreamcast retro titles at the moment. Recently got back in to Team Fortress 2 as well, what a time killer that is.

Thats a shame, I actually enjoyed the story missions in SWtoR, being fully voiced and actually feeling like things were happening was more singleplayer than anything else but the issue was end game was extremely lacking back when I played it.

Haven't touched it since it went F2P.

Currently ummming and arrrring over what to play at the moment. Last weekend I went on a Assassin's Creed 3 spree (13ish hours) and wow that is a long long long introduction but I am enjoying it. Also at last got around to playing Batman Arkham City which also seems a bit slow on the up take but it is getting better

I've been playing Dishonored , and glad I stuck with it now as I'm quite enjoying it - even if the Bloom effect in it still drives me nuts , the level construction and variety In environments is starting to remind me a lot more of HL2.

As for MMOS , not sure .. Both GUILD WAR 2 and Secret World are still P2P and ( as far as I know ) offer no trials ,so I'm not holding my breath for one either , as both seem to come to down to the same old flaws every other MMO does and prob won't have much long term appeal .

Are MMOs dead ?

Yeah I'd largley say so- unless you are grinding monkey.

Its been 3 yrs or so since I last played one , and I dont see anything to suggest otherwise...

Guild Wars (1 & 2) have never been subscription but buy the game and that's it. You can buy some cosmetic or convenience items for money in game but I haven't felt the need since I started

Its still fair whack to spend without knowing whether you'll like it or not..

Oh I agree. I waited until they did a free weekend before buying. They do one every few months.

No more than other AA titles though?

Medal of Honor SP campaign (from the latest Humble Bundle). It's very short (less than 4hrs), it's very scripted and it's very crap. Still, it was a four hour diversion for very little money.

Also tried Mirror's Edge (again from the HB), as I never really fancied it at launch. Not really my thing - maybe it's designed for an xbox controller, because I found the control system pretty unintuitive via KB and mouse.

Just played through Tomb Raider again, and found a lot more this time round. Still a great game, despite the abundance of QTEs and cutscenes.

Well on amazon I see it for thirty plus quid ..

Ironically I just noticed their doing another 2 day trial too which start tomorrow , so if any one else interested you better be quick !!

At 16 gb I'll be lucky to even dowload it in 2 days,,,

Been playing Sacred Citadel on the PS3. Great local co-op retro fun with the family and was only a fiver.

Its keeping me going until the main event.... Dragons's Crown is released in EU in October. Looks amazing.....

I've been playing Bioshock Infinity. I'm very near the end and think its a great game. I just hope it's got a good ending

I got bored about two hours into it, and haven't tried it since.

Worth another go, Kev?

I could see why you could find it a bit of a slog in the beginning, but it did get better a few hours in. But sometimes games just don't click with people, if you're not loving it after a couple of hours I wouldn't bother.

There's been lots of highly recommended games, that I just can't get in to. If I don't like after a couple of hours I don't bother.

I might try Tomb Raider next

Yeah, I might leave it until there's nothing left to try in my steam library. Although, I seriously need to leave FTL alone for a while. I'm up to 140hrs+

Started another Classic Ironman playthrough of XCOM last night, lasted about 2 hours before rage quit

[Ferral]

I was playing Retrograde on the C64 last night, got my guy up to 9 lives at the end of level 2, he took off after placing the third Planet Buster and then when it started loading the level 2 boss from tape it crashed.........the joys of tape loading!!!!

Needless to say, it took just over an hour to get there so decided to call it a night as couldn't be chewed to start over!

I just finished the PC version a couple of nights ago. Thoroughly enjoyed it, it made a refreshing change from my usual diet of FPS/RPG's and simulations. It's a bit slow at the beginning but some of the puzzles and climbing/acrobatic stuff as you progress through the game are brilliant

Edit - I should also add it looks good too. It's the first game that's made me realise my GTX480 is actually a 3 year old card.
