Finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Going to finish Costume Quest, then probably Arkham Asylum, if BF3 doesn't suck up all my time.

 Finally, almost one year after i've bought it, I have started Just Cause 2. This game is nice, but too time consuming. Getting everything at 100% take so much time...

Following recommendations from this thread, I just beat Bioshock. One other recommendation was Zeno Clash. I just started the download.

I thought i might have had a lot to do in Torchlight, but it turns out when i stopped playing it, a few months ago, i was on the third last floor  Now all that's left are games that have no real ending: AI War Atom Zombie Smasher Audiosurf Beat hazard Blocks that Matter (well, this has an end but it's got loads of levels) DCU Online Every Day Genius Frozen Synapse Killing Floor L4D2 Sanctum TF2 Terraria I'm so happy! Now the only thing that's technically in the backlog is the preorder for Arkham City. Roll on Christmas Gabe, I'm loving ready for you!

Kin posted:BACKLOG COMPLETE! Grats! Good to see that somebody can clear theirs out. Finished Costume Quest and its DLC last night. Wonderful game. Going to start on Arkham Asylum next since I've got Arkham City (hush, it came with my video card) coming up soon. My goal is to be mostly caught up before the Christmas sale.

Morter posted:Congratulations. Well, the only reason I was able to complete so many was because I was unemployed. I've got a job now, which at worst is going to include 3 hours of daily commuting and at best will include moving to another part of the country. Either way, the ability to binge in games is going to end this week  And there are so many kickass games coming out soon.

Beat Chantelise today. I won't mark it as Completed since there's about a dozen fish I haven't caught and I died on level 50 (of 60) of the survival dungeon, but I got my money's worth anyway. Not as good as Recettear but I don't think anyone really expected that anyway. Also in the "quickest game to cross off the backlog" category, I noted that I never did actually beat HL2: Lost Coast. 15 minutes and done!

Alright, I give up on Morrowind. I've spent far too long trying to get into it, I've tried hundreds of different builds, I've asked friends what I'm doing wrong and I just can't enjoy it for some reason which is a shame because I really really want to. I don't know what the gently caress is wrong with me but I've spent far too long fighting with this game. Next on the list? Fallout: New Vegas which I started yesterday with my smooth talking brawler character (tagged melee, barter, speech and repair) and am having a loving fantastic time with...until it crashed just outside of Goodsprings. Oh Gamebryo, never change.

I have no idea what made me buy Cthulhu Saves the World. I don't like RPGs in general, and especially don't like jRPGs. Eleven hours later I have to wonder whether I should rethink my position. Normal skill level was more or less perfectly balanced for me: beginning was easy, end was hard but not too hard. The game didn't overstay it's welcome and the first ending was great. Would recommend. Especially since the drat thing is almost free. e: 75 completed games! Hob_Gadling fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Nov 8, 2011 |

Over the past week or so, I've been beating any smaller games that have been sitting around for way too long. I've beaten Cthulhu Saves the Wrold which was a fun rpg that kinda wasn't funny to me at all but with a fantastic battle system that was enjoyable till the end. Also played and beat all of Costume Quest which was just fun in so many ways, I really got a deal out of it for 5 bucks. Lastly, I've been sitting on VVVVVV for so long that last night I started the game over and beat it all the way through and my god did that game get super tough real quick (Not as I do  ) but in the end it sure was satisfying to know that I beat it.

Well, the good news is that I don't suck at games, just at Morrowind. Started New Vegas earlier this afternoon and I'm still playing. I love this game. It's a vast improvement over Fallout 3, although I am not in love with the constant crashing, even in my unmodded game. I'm also not in love with the fact that I accidentally killed an old lady  Sorry old lady!

I had problems with Morrowind too, I liked the idea of such a big open-ended RPG but the world ended up feeling kind of lifeless and aimless, so I never got very far. The most time I ended up spending with it was when I discovered the insanely active modding community. There are mods for basically everything you can think of.

Ok I can't finish Zeno Clash and will be moving on Dead Space! I can't stand the art direction, I can't seem to grasp the combat and thus I'm getting raped on the 3 green ghosts of your master-thing. When I manage to beat them, the master it too tough and does a special kick I can't block or evade like he just showed me to! So yeah, moved it under my Null on Backloggery and my "will never play" category on Steam. At least I gave it 2 hours.

Colon V posted:I beat ZC in three hours. And I remember that section. It's basically a second tutorial, so either you're missing something absolutely fundamental, or you just suck at video games. One fundamental thing that may be getting missed: you can retreat while charging up your punches, which can make your life a lot easier. I started playing Alpha Protocol, but I'm still at the part where everyone agrees you just have to grit your teeth and grind through it. That's only getting short bursts these days, especially since Darkside of Xeen is still calling out to me. I also beat A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda, which was trash, and Blocks That Matter, which was great.

My biggest problem with ARES is that regardless of whether you controlled it with a keyboard or a gamepad something felt very off and weird. I was never comfortable with either.

As someone who has actually played and beaten both of the Xeen games, if you're playing the Darkside separately from the Clouds of Xeen and thus not enjoying the combined game World of Xeen then you're really doing it wrong and missing out. You're also making the game way harder on yourself than it should be. If you are playing them bundled, as god intended, then carry on and enjoy. The game shouldn't take too long if you don't do the million sidequests.

You're also making the game way harder on yourself than it should be. The recommendation in the LPM&M3 thread has been to play them bundled but reset some of your characters on Darkside to keep the earlygame interesting. I rather like the sidequests, because I enjoy the obsessive exploration part of it. I just have been using Might and Magic games as my B-list game since early July with Secret of the Inner Sanctum and have just kept going. This is the series that has restored my faith in RPGs as a genre after Xenogears destroyed it for over a decade.

I just beat Dead Space. I liked it a lot after I was able to find a better fix than just disabling Vsync. My controls were a lot more responsive. Now I need to find another game to play!

I have beaten Deus Ex Human Revolution and Alpha Protocol recently. I easily can recommend Deus Ex HR if you have it on your backlog, but Alpha Protocol is a different story. If you'd like to play a game where choices actually effect things, than Alpha Protocol is the right kind of game but the gameplay is somewhat bad. I still had a lot of fun with it, it's just that some gameplay mechanics like stealth don't seem to work. So play Deus Ex HR (duhh) and play Alpha Protocol if it even mildly appeals to you.

TF2's Halloween event made a number on my gaming time, but back on schedule again I managed to beat Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth, Fallout New Vegas and Defense Grid. Those last two were precious to me to the point of doing every achievement possible and clocking them at 220h and 90h respectively. I'm happy to move on to other things now though, just in time for an avalanche of new games, so I'm currently spliting time between Blocks That Matter, F.E.A.R. 3, Costume Quest and Sonic Generations.

Playing some Bastion(narrators voice is pure sex) Trying not to grind my teeth down to powder when I see my friends playing Skyrim. I am so tempted to get it, even though I know the money I have in my account is going to be taken for the hospital visit I just had. How do I turn off those pop-ups?! edit: vvv thanks! This will keep me from making a big mistake

Finally making some decent progress in The Binding of Isaac - all characters but Judas unlocked, and it's in theory now possible for me to try to unlock him. Meanwhile, the Difficult 2nd Bundle over at Indie Royale is poorly named indeed. It had 7 games in it. I've now beaten six of them, and the sale isn't even over yet:
I'm still trying to get into Alpha Protocol, since it looks promising but I haven't really been in the mood for RPG action of late.
