Which PC game are you playing now ?

[Godhead]

Running through Oblivion and Morrowind again.

 

[Awexsome]

TF2. Ah damn, connection problem 24... 23... 22... there we go and... Fuck, died during the routine hiccups. New server... fuck, lied about the player count and is empty. New server... fuck mostly bots. New server... there we go, a good server. Spawn... fuck, too crowded, frame rate tanking... dead again.

Well back to Halo.

Team Fortress 2.

 

[Gasaraki]

I recently got a gaming PC so I can finally play all the stuff that I got in the THQ and Square Enix publisher packs. (I could only play like two or three out of each pack on my laptop). I've mostly been playing Just Cause 2, Metro 2033, and replaying Stalker: SoC with the 'S:SoC complete 2009' mod.

 

[WaReloaded]

The Lord of the Rings: Conquest. It's fun, reminds me of Star Wars: Battlefront, but that's probably what they were aiming for.

Empire total war

(DAMN YOU PUNJAB!!!)

 

[Murray Kitson]

League of Legends... awesome game guys. free to play, so give it a download.

 

[SovietX]

At the moment im playing through Return To Castle Wolfenstein.

Thinking about playing through the Penumbra games too.

 

[Podunk]

TF2. And now= Perpetuity.

 

[dementis]

The Witcher, fun game so far, was going to get the second one but didn't have the money so I got the first one instead

The Witcher 2. Loving it.

I'm trying to play Baldur's Gate for the first time. Not really going so well. I know nothing about D&D.

Don't bother with Baldur's Gate 1. It's confusing and not very rewarding even for D&D players.

That, and the whole story is a fairly insignificant intro to the more important events to come.

Skip right to BG2: Shadows of Amn. By the time you leave the intro dungeon, you should have a fair grasp on the game.

If you're not sure what to get in what stat, well, BG2 is one of those games that you might consider reading an FAQ for. I promise you it's worth playing though.

Thanks for the tip. I think I'll follow your advice, actually. At some point, you have to say, "Well this just isn't for me". Know of any particularly good FAQs for BG2? I generally like to be an archer in RPGs (and generally have a disdain for magic).

I used this one; it pretty much covers everything, including the ToB expansion.

I've never really liked archery in D&D (or in BG2), but an archery-based party could probably work. Not using magic is just...well, let's just say magic is the most powerful thing in the D&D world.

Totally disagree. What's confusing ? lol. You should use BGT (Baldurs Gate Trilogy) so you can turn BG 1&2 into one big game using the engine of BG2. Then dl some banter and romance mods for BG1 from http://www.shsforums.net/

I love the low level d&d feel and exploration of BG1 and so do alot of ppl, btw.

Download the official manual for BG2 and read it before you play. Remember if your using BGT, that's the manual you should be reading, mechanics wise (doesn't have anything to do with the story except the part about the character descriptions.

I guess I'm not that kind of D&D player. Massive exploration with little hinting at where to go, too many insignificant characters and buildings, etc isn't my thing. I like open world, but with at least some linearity. Also, low level D&D sucks! No epic dragon fights, no cool spells...

In any case, I feel BG2 is MUCH more friendly to non-D&D players than BG1 is. Most games nowadays are at least somewhat linear, and giant maps with nothing important in them don't really show up in any newer games...

Oh, and BG1 had like, zero character interaction, and I felt character actions was a fantastic touch in BG2 (though it's like 75% romantic. Can't make friends that you don't plan on going to bed with, eh?). Maybe some banter mods would've helped though, dunno. I didn't know they existed >_>

PS: I did get the Trilogy set. I tried out BG1 for a day, said to myself "bleh, this isn't my thing," tried out BG2, never looked back.

 

[freaper]

Playing the APB:Reloaded Open Beta. I had played the original APB, but got incredibly frustrated. It's turning out cool now though.

 

[BabySinclair]

Mount&Blade: Warband, Prince of Persia, League of Legends, and Witcher 1. That about covers it.

 

[Vault101]

I installed KOTOR yesterday, it was working more or less fine (except for a small screen but aparently thats hard to fix) then being the genious I am I decided to patch it

which caused a problem with securom, Ive reinstalled it several times now and the effing thing wont launch, aparently it doesnt like ATI cards

but if it worked once why wont it work again? Im going to try one more time, and if it doesnt Im going to cry and put it next to beyond good and evil where it will haunt me for the rest of my days.....

so any help would be great

 

[the_hoffs_ego]

Assassin's Creed II. I love Steam sales so much.

 

[Flying Dagger]

Just finished Portal 2, still doing some of the multiplayer when my girlfriend is in the mood.
Just installed borderlands on my laptop despite being sure it wouldn't work, and trying to relearn how to play it now I can lie in bed and play with a controller. (Also as the sniper instead of the siren because rapid fire guns screw my pc over somehow)

 

[thejackyl]

X-Com: UFO: Enemy Unknown. Finally got the game to give me a break, and NOT have a night time terror mission for my first one.

 

[Alex Cowan]

Was in the middle of Half-Life 2 (for the first time!), but broke off to play Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Damn I love me some third-person stealthing.

Also I'm in the middle of re re re re re-playing KotOR. My God that game is good...

 

[Super Toast]

Jade Empire and Team Fortress 2.

 

[Irradiated Tiger]

I'm in the middle of an abusive substance binge with Minecraft, Starcraft 2 and TF2.
Dug myself a pretty deep hole.
