The Pikmin series. Gives you a good chance to exercise your dictatorship skills by commanding an army of alien carrot people to do your bidding. That is exactly how it happened.

Haha that game sounds great. I'm excited to (hopefully) make some time for gaming come Christmas break. Or maybe even finals week, if I get my stuff done ahead of time. I can't decide what I'll play next, though.

 

I still need to finish Symphony, which I've been playing for...geez, a year and a half? But that's not really narrative driven, so it's kinda a "I don't wanna face the world" game to waste time on.

 

I should finish Botanicula or Unmechanical, both of which I got stuck on. I'm stuck in a place I literally can't get out of in Botanicula and I think it's been some time since I saved before entering the place I got lost, so it'd be a big backtrack for me. Unmechanical I barely even started before getting stuck.

 

And then there's the games I can't wait to start but haven't had a chance...Primordia, Uru: Complete Chronicles, Myst 5: End of Ages, RealMyst (which I think they released a masterpiece edition of, so maybe that will work on my computer, unlike regular RealMyst), Atlantis, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Alien Crossfire that I got from my friend...so many.

 Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

The last game I played was an old one "Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy" yet another game from Lucas Art's golden age. It doesn't matter weather you side with the Sith or Jedi either way you feel like a true killing machine of justice... or just a killing machine. The lightsaber battles are challenging yet fair and the force powers range greatly for instance first tier force lighting allows you to shock a single person and do absolutely.... nothing even simple mercenaries just flinch and then resume their barrage of death and Sith just laugh at you for trying to use it on them. Tier 3 Lighting on the other hand sends entire legions of storm troopers and Sith alike screaming and hurtling through the air. And the Jedi have legit powers too for instance the ever popular (I hate it this power so freaking much) force protect renders all offensive force powers as dangerous as a baby lama and you have only 2 options left at that point either a fair duel or you can activate dark rage to let the hate flow through you....and cause your heart major strain. This game challenged me on normal and on Jedi Master difficulty I have to quick-save before every fight even if my enemy is only a single storm trooper.

 

 

In semi-related news despite my years of gaming experience Mara has surpassed me in Skyrim. I haven't even gotten halfway through the main quest   and what is the hold up you ask. Flowers.... yes you heard me ..... flowers ... you see in TES IV Oblivion I was a master alchemist I harvested everything and had potions and poisons for every occasion. Even the most powerful demons would succumb to my masterpieces. And this tendency has carried over to Skyrim and its gotten worse. I will literally leave Whiterun with the intent of ending up in Riften (far south) and somehow I will end up following a trail of flowers and mushrooms all the way to Windhelm (far north).

It's DRM-free from GOG. I could send you the install file and you can see for yourself. I won't have time to play it for a long while, especially since I got it from my friend on a whim because I heard Sid Meier's stuff was good but didn't actually know anything about this game. My friend was letting me download all the Myst games I didn't own because he'd purchased all the ones on GOG when they had a bundle sale.

After 69 freaking hours, I finally beat Dragon Age: Origins. Onto DA:2 next...

Beat DA2. I can understand the complaints many fans had with the gameplay aspects, but the characters were sooooo awesome that it more than made up for it in my opinion. I spent a good hour installing the sequel (Dragon Age Inquisition), waiting through the insanely long loading screens and creating an awesome character, only to discover that my PC simply cannot run the game. Stupid outdated graphics card... I'd probably be better off buying a copy for PS4 rather than trying to improve my PC. Sigh. Guess I'll have to wait until May, when Gio gets more hard drive space for his PS4.

 

How am I supposed to fuel my addiction in the meantime??

I can feel your pain Mara, I had a similar thing happen when I got the Elder Scrolls IV. I installed it and was all ready to get going and.......the environment was 100% white it made it almost impossible to play... and it crashed if I tried to leave the tutorial dungeon. I was thoroughly disappointed, thankfully though since my dad is a computer tech no one in my family ever has problems for long. About a week later he had a client who had gone out and bought some fancy video card....only to find out it wasn't compatible with his machine and he wasn't able to return it since he had waited so long to try it out. That night I got an upgrade.

I have been play Earthbound. It's an RPG that was created in the 90's. It has the typical style. You wander around, beat "monsters", colect items and level up your party. However unlike most RPGs, which are set in a medieval fantasy setting this one is set in a modern setting. The end boss is apparently named Giygas. It is the embodiment of evil, and because of its evil influence over the land, you could end of fighting anything. Crows, gang members, walking trees, hippies, moles, puppets and anything else you can name. This game is ridiculous.

[Mara=^.^=]

Replaying DAI, this time as a dude.

 

 

 

 

I named him Amon

Mario Party 4.

 

Dawn Runner, The Walking Dead game series is SO GOOD. SO. GOOD. (Wow you made that post over a year ago disregard my late comment)

[Thore]

Been playing an in development game called Rim World. The game is simple to start.... insane to master. Pretty much you oversee a group of survivors who have crashed on a uncharted planet. You set tasks for them and more or less act as their commander but the thing is they do really... really stupid things if you don't micromanage them. For instance I never assign more than 2 of my survivors to hunt at the same time to minimize the chances of someone walking into another hunters line of fire..... and hunting accidents are still weekly events somehow.   Oh I also had a colonist die of hypothermia in a walk in fridge and another time I lost a prisoner to starvation because my warden couldn't get into the locked cell and just wandered off to plant potatoes.    In addition there are various challenges you have to deal with from roaming bands of pirate infantry, to drop pods full of pirate commandos or if you are really unlucky ruthless killing machines know simply as Mechanoids. And military threats aside you also deal with things such as heat waves, solar flares killing your technology, survivors having mental breakdowns and occasionally psychic waves that cause all the local wildlife to go insane.... I once watched one of my most elite commandos get run down and fatally mauled by a horde of rabbits. 

 

My current game is actually doing quite well. I have built a fortress into the side of a mountain, tapped into geysers for geothermal energy and turned the mountain pass leading into my base into a deathtrap of auto turrets and sand bag bunkers that enemies have to approach single file. Most enemies die in a hail of lead and plasma, those who survive are either brainwashed into joining my forces or quietly relocated to the "empty" cell in the back so that my colony's doctor (who is a sociopath) can harvest their organs.

Completely addicted to Crusader Kings II. My friend Tim bought it for me a couple of weeks ago, and I've already played 70 hours worth. Of course, that's nothing compared to the 900 HOURS he's sunk into the game
