So....what's everybody playing these days?Follow

I'm a Project Reality mod player, so I'll just wait till then. Which is why I only got ARMA 2 just now (ARMA2 PR came out early September).

It's worth a shot to contact them. I've heard they're pretty good about helping people get back into their accounts. Also, IMO, they've made a lot of really nice changes to the game. I don't play as often as I used to (which has nothing to do with the game, it's just RL stuff), but I really enjoy the game when I do get to play.

You know that's in the works, right?

Kenny = Lubriderm, btw One naughty word, so NSFW.

Despite a bad reputation, I have never had a bad experience with the customer support, I've always had a swift and decent answer. Heck, they were even able to solve my problems most of the time!

EQII has changed tremendously, perhaps some parts are too easy now, but it's improved tremendously. I'm not too keen on the whole mercenaries that they are going to add to it though.

The plot itself isn't so good, so I wouldn't wait on a big change-up to spark your interest. I think most of the enjoyment from the series comes from the polish on the characterization (& player control over the narrative), voice acting, and visuals. The conversation system was the biggest selling point for me, but if that's old hat for you, then you might not be as impressed.

Plus, aren't you working through Dragon Age, also? You might be Biowaring yourself out. I'd give it a go later.

Yeah, finished DA:O and went into Mass Effect. The difference in interface (both game style and dialogue) might be throwing me off. The games aren't going anywhere so I may as well let it sit for now and hit it up later.

Wow, lots of people playing Dragon Age: Origins. I saw that the sequel got a lot of not-so-great reviews, but maybe I'll check out the original sometime.

I've been putting my 3DTV to good use playing the Shadow of the Colossus HD re-release for the PS3. I played Ico way back in the day, but my PS2 died before I got a chance to play SoTC, so this is my first time playing through it. I have to say, it's lived up to all of the hype that I had heard. The camera controls are kind of wonky, but the game itself is absolutely sublime, with gorgeous landscapes and a perfect musical score. Every colossi battle feels absolutely epic. This is the first game that I've been really glad to be able to play in 3D, and I'm looking forward to Uncharted 3 coming out later this year in 3D too.

Besides that I've been playing Mass Effect 1 on and off, and replaying through Xenogears on the PSP when I've been on the road. I was really hooked on Mass Effect at first, but since I started going off and doing those repetitive side missions my urge to play has mostly gone. I feel like I need to explore all of these solar systems and planets in fear that I'll miss something important or awesome, and then am sorely disappointed when all I do on each planet is waste an hour driving around surveying minerals, and then infiltrating one of 4 cookie-cutter structures and eradicating one of 4 different enemy types that has infested it.

The next games on my agenda will be possibly Mass Effect 2, depending on how I feel after finishing 1, and then probably Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and/or Red Dead Redemption if they drop to like $15, or possibly Beyond Good and Evil HD on PSN, another supposedly classic game that I never played.

I am now playing Dark Souls. And by "playing" I mean going to bed early, driven by a need to numb the shame of my countless deaths.

Have you not played Mass Effect 1 yet? It's better for reasons I can't quite explain.

He hates the menu system to the point of not even wanting to play the game, if I understand correctly.

Are you on the PC Joph? I imagine there's a mod to clean up the menus...

I feel out of place since I don't play on consoles. I mean, I have a PS2 (and, well, a Dreamcast and my wife's collection of old Nintendos) but I haven't played on it in over a year, and it's usually just Tiger Woods Golf.
