What game are you playing lately?

[PP Mguire]

I remember playing Baldur's Gate II twice. The first round I played the role of a good guy. The second one I played as a bad guy LOL. It was kinda hard and stupid... guards and authorities would chase you as soon as you go near them LOL! It was a really open ended game. I remember finishing the game with some side quests still open. It really takes a lot of time. If you like RPG, Mass Effect is kinda similar I believe.. It doesn't follow a particular storyline, you can do quests based on your own will... Hence it is integrated with FPS gaming as well. Really nice

Yea I've played both series, I know what you mean. I loved the originality of the first Mass Effect. The second blew it for me.

^ really??!! what happened in Mass Effect 2?? O______O
Haven't played it. I played Mass Effect 3 without playing the previous installments..
Well i was busy during college, didn't really have the chance to play..
my era was like.

Playing baldur's gate II, NWN, Call to power II, Red alert 2, CS, sims, AoE II, city building strategy games like Zeus ---> college days (no gaming) ----> 2011 Online gaming, COD, Alan Wake, DOTA, HON, Battlefield series, tried oblivion like I said hehehe.

They changed it up from the first one, and then pretty much ruined the good story in the 3rd one.

ehhhhhhh really?! don't tell me what happened LOL. Haven't finished Mass Effect 3 yet X__X
I'm liking it so far

I have been playing World of Tanks, Dirt Showdown, Going to try Hawken too.

I really like WoT there are plenty of people who play online which makes for good matches. Not to much to say give it a try.
No dislikes yet.

Dirt I just play with a group of friends. I do not think there is much of an online following to that one.

I've played WoT for awhile. Certainly is fun. I got into other games so WoT took a back burner and got uninstalled. may need to get it again

[Joshua_Mahr]

Let me know. You more than welcome to platoon with me and my friends.

I'm not playing much at all, but I've been playing a bit of City of Heroes here and there. It's an MMO which will be closing down at the end of the month, and I want to experience a little more of it before it does.

The short of it is: City of Heroes is an MMO where you play a superhero. It's got tons of options for creating a dressing the character, and it's got decent stories around the missions, with simple but IMO enjoyable combat mechanics, which vary a little between powers (for example dual swords has combos which others don't). Unfortunately it won't be around after the end of the month.

Currently, I'm not really playing anything at the moment. However, whenever I do have the time to play something, I'm switching between Lego Star Wars II and Fable II.

I started playing Fable II a while ago while I was living with my aunt for the few months I was there collecting myself to get back up on my feet. That was at least before I started school while living with her. Once I was back in school, I pretty much stopped playing games.

Then, once my gf and I moved back into the apartment we're in now, I tried to get my two year old daughter to play some games with me. Fable II isn't the greatest kiddie game and thus, I got into Lego Star Wars II. I pretty much play games whenever I have the time to do so since I'm so busy between full time work, full time school, and raising a family.

With Fable II, I like the fact that you can go out and build your character the way you want pretty much. It's a thing I like about action-adventure type games. I just don't like how slow it is to load between levels and some of the control limitations of the game.

On LSWII, the 3rd person camera angles are a bit off and that makes the game a bit difficult to play as well. Other than that though, it's a good game that I find quite entertaining .

I would LOVE to get back to playing some FPS games on XBL or Steam or whatever. And one game I REALLY want now is Halo 4. Alas though, I probably won't be able to play that game until after I graduate from school in April at the earliest.

Gaming can wait, you're right. After I graduate and I'm done with homework and such, I'll be looking for a new job. Or, at the very least, going in to get some certificates under my belt. CCNA, MCSE and MCITP are what I want to add on to my bachelor's degree .

yeah dude, that's a good plan aim for higher job positions. Supervisory level positions are always more relaxed compared to those below. I started from the bottom and I tell you, you won't even have the time to watch TV due to stress and you just want to sleep and rest the moment you get home. Now I'm supervising a team.. still time-consuming but not physically tiring.. hence I can spare an hour of so for gaming The world is very competitive today.. Job landing is hard, more credentials is sweet aroma to any employer's nose.

I agree OP ME3 is a pretty great game. I am also excited for the next ME game (yeah who knew?).

I haven't been playing very much lately unfortunately. Only game I play off and on is SC2. No SC2 fans? Haha I would recommend it! However the expansion is coming out sometime next year so it may be better to wait for that because there is a lot more to do the expansion. Wish I had a BETA key for that!

Anyone I really like SC2 because my friends play it. Granted they have migrated to LOL and such and I never found that very much fun. I'm eagerly await AC3 for the PC to come out!

Between working 6-7 days a week I hardly get any good gaming time anymore.
But when I do I'm still banging away at Skyrim (with all the dlc's ) and Minecraft with a ton of mods.
