Still on BF3 MP. However even 5 hours in it's becoming evident that the game series is regressing mechanics wise. Less environmental destruction, more camping, more grind, worse maps, all compared to BFBC2.
edit: uninstalled. One of the worst wastes of money lately. Utterly repugnant game design.

Started Amalaur yesterday. It's alright, decently fun. I suppose my theory of taking good ideas from all the major RPGs to build a fun game was a sound one.
Behind that, Lego Harry Potter 5-7, Borderlands (playing all that DLC finally), and Dark Souls.

I decided I wanted to start the original Dragon Age, because I've never played it. I'm not entirely sure about the combat yet. It reminds me of MMOG combat and NWN combat and I need to use the pause feature a lot more. The world does look interesting, however. I do miss my character not having a voice like Shepherd in Mass Effect.

Did you not play any of the Infinity Engine games? That's basically all the combat is.
Going to start Uncharted 3 I think and pray that I don't blow up my PS3 as well. Should be a quick, fun jaunt. I think I need one of those.

Playing some Dungeon Siege 3. The game starts off meh, but the music is great and the Obsidian storytelling makes you want to see what happens next. Well worth the 10 euros.

Gotham City Impostors is on sale, the matchmaking has been fixed and there's been a content patch. Steam activity is at a new high for once. I shall be playing this weekend.

I reinstalled Shogun 2, put it on an SSD this time.
Still has fucking 2-5 minute load times with DX11 rendering. DX9 makes it almost playable (2 minutes to load the main menu, 45 seconds to load a map)

Phantasy Star III (through an emulator). Never did finish it when I had my Genesis hooked up. I think I saw two, maybe three of the possible endings. It's a nice change from current gaming.

I'm stupid so I played more BF3 because of the patch. I've come to the conclusion that the game has a grand total of one decent map, Gulf of Oman.

Please to tell me you just haven't gotten the Karkand map pack. Otherwise, I think you are broken.

GoO is from the Karkand map pack. So I'm probably broken. |

I just got the new Kid Icarus game, trying to play through that. And by "I got" I mean "my brother got, and played for five minutes before asking me to take the game because he hated it so much he was going to snap his 3DS in half." Not quite sure what to make of it, it's weird as hell while at the same time being completely stock. It's like my brain can't decide if it's fresh and awesome or horrible and awkward.

Master of Mana has rekindled my love for FFH2 after getting my ass handed to me on Chieftain difficulty my first try. The changed magic system is well-done and the AI is diabolical.

Picked up Crusader Kings II for $18 off Amazon's Direct Download and Assassin's Creed Revelations for $20 from Best Buy for the PS3 but haven't had a chance to play either of them yet. In the case of AC, I actually have to buy and play through Brotherhood first.

I would like to play Binary Domain on the PC, but Steam/Sega pulled a bait & switch and changed the April 6th release date to "April". So I'm stuck with BF3 where I have 0.5 K/D and am halfway convinced I'm the one guy who hasn't clued in that it's expected that everyone use cheats.

Heh, too much third person shooting does that to you, I guess. I know I'm probably screwed coming back to BF3 now after spending so much time with ME3 MP. |

I'm casting about looking for fun. Nothing is grabbing my interest lately beyond Minecraft. Is it me or the games?
Recently grabbed Bastion off Steam - it's ok. I'm more interested in something simulation-y or strategy-y rather than platform-y. Still looking for the perfect trading/crafting type mmo while I wait for Diablo3 and Torchlight2. Suggestions?

Have you messed with The Guild 2? I know someone here has recently. Not an MMO, but kind of sim-y and strategic and weird.
At any rate, I'm currently plodding through a fairly decently-modded Baldur's Gate 2, having beaten the first. I've ended up writing a couple dozen thousand words on it so far back on the Penny-Arcade forums in a sort of semi-LP.

I suspect it will be the first jrpg I finish in a very long time. I tried Star Ocean, and it was too long. This just feels right, almost like an MMO without other dumbass people. |

I grabbed Xenoblade as well, although I need to finish up post-game stuff in Tales Of Graces f before I really get into it.
Also playing Path of Exile for my ARPG itch.

Played a little HoMaM3, forgot just how much I love the music for that game.
Been scouting a couple locations for some possible new stuff in Minecraft. Forgot how drowny the area around my track tunnel is, dammit. The drowning mechanic is so harsh in that game. Logged off half-starved on a tiny desert island after my boat smashed on some imaginary nothing.

The Xenoblade release date disappeared from my calendar somehow.
Due to work schedule and crap, I'm basically playing Borderlands. I dabbled in Recettear recently, and downloaded The Patch for Gotham Impostors. The patch did make the game playable but I'm not sure how into it I am.

On the heels of Grimrock and old-school stuff in general, I decided to willingly kick myself in the balls and so here I am playing Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny for the first time ever. Took me roughly 4 hours to create my party through the advanced method. This is going to be just...   |

I'm becoming very drawn to Eve Online again for some reason. But I really don't have the time to invest into it right now. I feel like I need a patch or a therapist or something to help me some day cut ties from that game completely. I've very rarely ever had zero accounts subbed since I started.  |

I'm a fool so I bought Confrontation full price. It's a neat little game, like a low budget Icewind Dale. Makes me sad that the tabletop game died.

Playing Grimrock a bit, SWTOR again, Bulletstorm (which owns so hard I wish I would literally execute whoever was dumb enough to price it at $60, when it would've sold way better and been about right at $40), Diablo 2...again.
