[Scrustle]

There was another thread of this topic not too long ago. I'll just quote from there.

My list is pretty massive, and I keep adding to it because I'm a moron. This is a list of all the games I own that I haven't finished, but I don't plan to finish them all, particularly a lot of the PC games since I've found I can't run a lot of them on my laptop despite it apparently meeting the required or even recommenced specs. Also some of them I simply never even wanted. They just came in a bundle. Anyway, here we go. Prepare to do a lot of scrolling.

That's pretty much all of my Steam library, actually. God damn Steam, making games too cheap to resist! I haven't bought anything since the Summer Sale since I've just got too much now, and I've been burnt since so many of them simply don't work. Fuck PC gaming.

I also forgot I had some of those XBLA games. It's been literally years since I touched some of them. You can't even buy Marble Blast Ultra any more. They took it off the marketplace.

I've also got a handful of iOS games to get round to, but I don't really play iOS games any more, and I can't be bothered to turn my phone on to check either. Alas, those games shall forever remain a mystery to you. Melancholy and lamentation!

Since then I got the Humble Indie Bundle 6, so that needs to be added to the list. I also got a Import Tuner Challenge as well. I'm actually kind of addicted to it despite the fact it wasn't well received critically. I can see why but there's something about it that's got me hooked. I've finished Darksiders 2 now but I'm going through it on new game +.

 

[purf]

as for my advice:

start with Fallout 3. It has its flaws, but it's a gorgeous game to sink into.
I haven't played New Vegas, It's on my personal to-play list, but I'd say,
have it ready as a follow-up.

Whenever you feel like doing something different: Left 4 Dead, whatever version.
(well, 2, because it kinda contains 1) Actually, begin with it.

Then or in whenever between Portal 2. Just because.

After finishing Fallout: The AC series, but you're safe to skip 0. Imho,
2 - and presumably Brotherhood as well, I don't know it - is simply superior
in all things gameplay.

As a break, I think I could recommend Borderlands. Although I'm playing 1 these days
and find it kind of 'meh', it does its thing really well, which is to be a fps brother of something
like Diablo. I enjoy it not quite enough to be crazy for it, but it is okay in a nice way.
Same with AC: from what I've read, 2 is like 1, but everything is better, so don't bother with
the first installment.

Skyrim... I'm a fan. I reckon some problems, but I love it. Now, you should have played Fallout by
now and should have decided whether you like a game like this. If you do, Skyrim is a must. But take your time.

Diablo? Somehow not inviting. Playing the Torchlight 2 demo tonight. Nice.

The other games you mentioned? No idea.



my backlog goes like this, games to be finished:
Skyrim
Borderlands
Company of Heroes
ARMA2
Orcs Must Die

 

[DanielBrown]

Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Yakuza 3
Brütal Legend
Jak II
Jak III

Not sure I can be arsed with any of these though. They didn't bring me much entertainment.

 

[Quala]

Looks like a pretty nice lineup, though I do believe everything in the first L4D is in the second one, so buying the original may be unnecessary. Also a bit surprised that you have FFXIII and FFXIII-2 on there since I remember them being poorly recieved by fans and critics, but I don't play any JRPGs, so no personal opinions there.

OT: Right now I'm playing Borderlands 2, have Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare waiting, as well as some general backlog from Humble Indie Bundles and Steam sales.

 

[Idlemessiah]

Wow lets see, since the Steam summer sale I have a few, and then some...

Age of Empires 3
Amnesia
Bastion
Bioshock (pc replay, already played it on 360, but why not again right?)
Call of Cthulhu: Dark corners of the earth
Dreamfall: the Longest Journey
TES: Oblivion
TES: Skyrim
Fallout 3 DLCs
New Vegas AND DLCs
Frozen Synapse
The Longest Journey
Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus and Oddysee (PS1 retro replays woo!)
Psychonaughts
Civ V
Superbrothers
Torchlight 2 (EEEEEEE!!!!!)
Shogun 2
and
Dawn of War 2

And not on Steam,

I still need to get all the endings in Deus Ex:HR and I have Assassins Creed Revelations and the Lego Star Wars series gathering dust.

Currently on The Pitt DLC for Fallout 3, got Mothership Zeta and Operation Anchorage to do then I'm going on to Oblivion.

I really should have prefaced with these are all games I know I will like or have high hopes for just haven't had time to play till now. I love the Elder scrolls games since the first and I've actually never played a fallout game so. . .

Thats the plan I've easily put 50+ hours into Fallout 3 this week alone. And thats not counting the time I've spent on Minecraft and digging out old PS2 games too.

Your avatar is........ AWESOME!

OT:

Since I've been playing EVE, my annual final fantasy 9 playthrough has been put on hold. My annual Morrowind playthrough will be put on hold as well. The fact that I just got a Dota2 beta invite doesn't help the situation. When hitman: absolution finally comes out, I'm going to have to actually carve out some time for a game other than Eve.

I quite enjoy yours as well, makes me want to play through disciples again, even though i have no time

 

[Chester Rabbit]

Deus Ex Human Revolution

Mass Effect 3(Multiplayer doesn?t count and we all know it)

Games I have either started or are well into but have yet to complete

Fallout New Vegas - I really, REALLY suck at this game! The slogan was You will Die A lot for Dark Souls? These guys should have used it first. Death claws, Nightkins, even the freaking radiated Geckos. Crawling around for bullets, Praying a raider doesn?t see me in the rocks...This game has beaten my gaming ego into submission. Last I just sent Jason Bright and his misguided pals on a short flight to..where ever the hell they landed.

Rayman Origins - I?m trying to get through Deus Ex The Conspiracy damn it!

Deus Ex ( I need that god damn generator code! But WHEEEEERE!?)

The Witcher 2 - started it but was to unfocussed to really absorb and appreciate it. Will get back to it after Human Revolution)

Wolfenstein ? I waited so long just to get this game and when I did...well it?s still good ol Wolfenstein but why is there a hub world? And why must BJ talk ! >.<(Yes his name is BJ hardyhar har)

Half-Life ? I bought this game for PS2 in march out of curiosity to see just what everyone has been talking about over the years. So okay so far so good I guess controls are a little weird, but I figure the combat is built around them though so I will be fine. WRONG! It?s must be my controller because if I move any other way it?s fine, nice and quick. Tray and turn to the right though, it?s like Morgan suddenly stepped into molasses. So I threw that down and have since bought it off steam...and now have downloaded Black Mesa(And have since learned about this so called crouch jump?). Now I?m just not sure which should be my first experience with Half Life.

[suitepee7]

dark souls. got released on pc, couldn't be assed to get the fucking thing to play above 15fps...

i started borderlands 1, but seeing as 2 just came out and im playing that, i don't see me ever going back to it.

gone back to WoW atm, powerleveling before panderia comes out, so i'm trying to split my time between that and some bl2.
