What PC games are playing currently?

[Coffinmaker]

Yes, I know, another thread like this. Just curious though, what's popular and what is everyone playing?
For me is BF3, Skyrim, and Realm of the Mad God.

Edit: My grammar is excellent. LOL

 

[irishScott]

Mass Effect as an Engineer, hopefully going to have a fresh full playthrough through ME2 when ME3 comes out.

 

[Kalmah]

I'm mudding again. lol. Good old Aardwolf. This game has been around since like 1995.

 

[hardhat]

Not really playing much, but doing a ton of modeling for skyrim.

 

[DominionSeraph]

KOTOR. Just started last week, but lost all my saves to a hard drive crash before finishing. I'm now hearing a little voice telling me, "Give in to your anger. Strike down all who get in your way."
Dark Side caster it is. Everyone will burn.

 

[ImpulsE69]

LOL, Realm of the Mad God, Alan Wake, Limbo at the moment

 

[GaiaHunter]

Occasional Guild Wars, Warhammer 40k Space Marine, Witcher (the firts) and some good oldies like dungeon keeper 2. Mechwarrior 4 Mercs, Starlancer, Giants citizen kabuto, etc, to keep me occupied until Guild Wars 2.

What do you think of Realm of the Mad God?

 

[Phobic9]

Just shelved SWTOR (indefinitely) and now finishing up Mass Effect 2 as my renegade femshep infiltrator.

 

[Zenoth]

Lately I've been playing a lot of Mass Effect and ME2 in preparation for ME3 (I haven't played the demo to try my best to stay out of major spoilers, it's very tempting but the demo might disappoint me for being from an older build with some bugs, etc, so I'll wait for the final to be released). I finished two new Shepards in ME1, Paragon and Renegade. I imported one so far to ME2 and I'm about to finish that game in one or two days, then I'll finish the second one. I'm thinking that by the time I finish my second Shepard in ME2 then ME3 will literally be one or two days away from release which would be perfect.

Other than Mass Effect I'm also burning some time in DC Universe Online (subscribed for two months, so far I really like it), Gratuitous Space Battles, off-line skirmishes in WH40K Soulstorm, some The Last Stand matches in Dawn of War 2... and that's about it since the past month or so. I also have a game-in-progress in the original Witcher (from GoG.com) but I haven't touched it in weeks, I might play it a bit if I end up finishing my second ME2 game earlier than predicted until ME3 comes out.

 

[sash1]

not had the free time to play much lately, but when i do i wanna get back to:

cave story+
bastion
nuclear dawn

 

[ImpulsE69]

What do you think of Realm of the Mad God?

It's kinda cool as a time waster. I'm not sure how much time I'd seriously put into it though. It's free...so really no reason to not check it out.

 

[sandorski]

Just about finished Saints Row 3, then I'll start Deus Ex Human Revolution.

 

[BD231]

BF3, a little la noire and shogun 2.

 

[PrayForDeath]

Just started playing Planescape: Torment for the first time. GhostDog's GUI mod is amazing with widescreen. The game's graphics are just beautiful.

 

[Necc]

Mass effect 3 multiplayer, little Left 4 dead 2, Counter strike source, and getting into League of Legends.

 

[terry107]

Skyrim, Kingdoms of Amalur, and just picked up Deus Ex HR on Amazon

 

[Doppel]

Diablo 2

 

[Martimus]

X3: Albion Prelude. It has been awhile since I have been this addicted to a game.

 

[Nebor]

I can't play anything but MW3. I have over a hundred games in backlog, virtually everything everyone else named in this thread, but MW3 caters to my lack of attention span and commitment. I can play a round in less than 10 minutes and then get up and do something else. Whereas I try to play Skyrim, and I feel tied down like I'm starting to watch a movie and it's going to take a long time.

110 hours in MW3, 26 minutes in Skyrim.

I just finished Alan Wake and am now waiting for Mass Effect 3. I was thinking of going back and playing the firts two but I doubt I'll have time and I have the characters I want anyway.

Having bit on the Steam sale, I'm going to start Deus Ex:HR tonight.

Being somewhat of a classic games snob, my expectations are low. I'm assuming it'll be a slick, fun but dumbed-down, consolish version of the original.

Hopefull I'll be pleasantly surprised.

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Been busy as f*ck, so only time for the occasional 1/2 - 1 hour of TF2

 

[BlueWeasel]

I just finished Alan Wake and am now waiting for Mass Effect 3. I was thinking of going back and playing the firts two but I doubt I'll have time and I have the characters I want anyway.

How was Alan Wake? Bought it a couple weeks ago but not played it yet.

How was Alan Wake? Bought it a couple weeks ago but not played it yet.

It's a good game, definitely worth playing. It got some comparisions to Resident Evil/Dead Space/Silent Hill but it's not as combat focused as those (although I only played the first silent hill). The combat is more tense than tactical so the main reason you'll keep on playing is for the story.

The story line is very good although not as excellent as the premise. I have a feeling that the makers had this great premise but had a hard time figuring out what type of game would best present it. First playing it I thought it would've made a great adventure game (minus the ridiculous 'tape phone to cat to easedrop' type puzzles). It could've also worked with more focus on combat (such as RE/Dead Space 2). Looking it up it seems that the developers even tried it as a sandox GTA style game for half a year. I'm guessing that this is why the game took so long to get out; it was hard to find the right type of genre to tell the story.

The end result is a game that's not great but good for one playthrough (including the dlc). I'm glad I played it but I doubt I'll go back to play it again. For those on the fence I'd recommend waiting until it's half off.
