OK, I'll go ahead and admit that I have been playing a lot of Star Ocean: The Last Hope.  This is because of the wife.  In any case I have put about 100 hours into it and am nearing the end.  Three of the four main characters have four +20% XP traits on their weapons while the fourth one has three.  They also have necklaces with two +20% XP traits; I'd have three on there but I ran out of materials and patience.  I consider this necessary; currently the main party of four (Edge, Bacchus, Arumat, Meracle) are all around level 110, and if they somehow get to around level 130 before I reach the end, I'll go back to the arena with them.  Currently fighting moon-monsters in a drive to what I hope is the final boss.  After this, the wife wants to play Infinite Undiscovery.  I'm planning on suggesting we play Shadowhearts: Covenant instead.

In Persona 4, I'm grinding in the bath house.  The problem with grinding in the bath house is the number (more than zero) of enemies that are strong versus physical, which means no matter how good my team gets they will eventually run out of SP and I'll have to go back to the real world.  Actually I'm studying the feasibility of paying the fox to restore my SP, but the economics of it are razor-edge and very easily blown by summoning persona from the compendium (which I have to do after some fusions).  Man, I love that game.

LotRO just released Book 8 and the Summer Festival (and a shit-ton of other Things and Fixes), so that's going to take up a lot of my time.  The festival is going to interrupt my leveling charge, but if I get a funny hat or a racial dance out of it, it's all good.  I hear there are keg races over at Thorin's Hall, so I'll be taking my dwarf back home for that.  I'll also see about getting him in the Inn League, too.

I'll probably also buy Anno soon and lose a few days to it, thanks to some fucking bastard motherfucker on these forums.

The boy is getting fairly good at a game I cannot stand: Loco Roco Coccorecho.  I might be spelling that incorrectly.  He calls it Loco Roco On The TV.  I call it God Damned Bullshit.

The wife is getting much better at putting textures into The Sims 3, although I think she is still having trouble with the alpha-channel bit and is sticking with three-color textures.  Other than that I just see two guys sitting on a sofa watching TV, so don't ask me what's up with that game.  My experience with TS3 mostly consists of Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop and The GIMP.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

Nearly everyday you come up with at least one different game you're playing, Yeg.  Do you finish most of them?  I don't - which makes me unhappy.  For some reason, I enjoy playing something I haven't played before to finishing stuff I've started.  The problem I have is that it's hard for me to go back to a game I've set aside and start playing again - even if I really enjoyed it.  I kind of envy people who can start a game and carry on until it's done and people who can easily go back to a game and pick up where they left off.  I have bajillions of really good, unfinished games because I have no discipline.   

Right now, though not too often at the moment:

Sims 3
Free Realms
Aion when it feels accomodating
A few  NDA
and about 300,000 unfinished PC and console games.   ACK!

Over the last couple years I've become much better about sticking with a game until I finish it. Which sucks for this thread, since it takes me forever to finish a game. I'm planning on picking up the last Anno gold version at some point, after I finish Drakensang and GTA4. For now, still playing Drakensang.

What's the deal with this game, anyway?  By the sound of it, you are only grudgingly playing it because your wife wants you to (sounds of whips cracking in the background), but I find it hard to believe that it doesn't have some redeeming qualities if you've spent nigh on a 100 hours on the thing?

I ask because I see it in the stores and am mildly intrigued, but never hear anything about it.  Geniune interest, in other words.

I don't finish games, usually.  I am easily distracted, also I don't really want to finish them due to some deep-seated mental issues.  Having put so much time into Star Ocean is really killing me.  I did finish Uncharted, Folklore and Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.  I finished The Maw (XBLA).  I probably finished the main questline of Oblivion, but not sure.  I finished Shadowhearts, Final Fantasy XII and SMT: Digital Devil Saga 1.  I even took down all but one of the optional bosses in Digital Devil Saga: the one you have to play through the New Game+ to reach, but that took me 140 hours or something.  I finished Half-Life 1,2,ep1, ep2.  I finished Portal.  Thief 1&2.  Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Super Mario Galaxy, and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.  Also Final Fantasy I and IV and VII and VIII and IX.  Blaster Master, at least twice.  Resident Evil 4.  Radiata Stories (both endings).  Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past & Ocarina of Time & Wind Waker.  Probably not many I have forgotten about, so that's a very close approximation of the games I have finished in my entire life.

Recently I got the Bad Ending of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, which may or may not count.  Some games, I don't even get past the beginning, and many that I dabble in are not even posted in here.  For example, I played a little more Rocket Slime last week but not enough to mention in here.  I played a little more Patapon, until I got to the part where I have to cross the desert and decided never to boot it up again.  I played about ten minutes of Call of Duty: World at War before I got sick of it; I should have deinstalled as soon as I saw WWII footage.  Some games only get an installation, like how I keep reinstalling The Witcher but not really playing it.

Eh, alright, let me think of good things to say.  The combat isn't as bad as Till The End of Time, but the characters are thirteen times as annoying.  You can turn off the combat chatter.  The crafting isn't completely jacked up, but it's crappy how I can make so much useless shit.  I just got to the point where I can get runic metal on a reliable basis, however the armor/weapons I can make with it are now crap for me.  You can collect a lot of shit.

I'm almost enjoying myself with the combat (not that it's good, mind you, but my bar is Shin Megami Tensei so YMMV) and fedex quests (not as well-done as any MMO), many of which can involve crafting but most which involve resource gathering.  I'm also interested in collecting things, but my patience for that has run WAY the fuck out.  There's a whole lot of shit I could be collecting, so if you like that you might give it a try.  Also if you are a Japanese teenage otaku with any common anime fetish, you might like it.

After getting caught up on this thread I really wanna play BG2 and ToEE again. Wish I could find the CDs!

My playlist for the past couple of weeks-

EVE
Browser games
FIFA 09
Poker
Mount & Blade (PoP mod)
Master of Magic
Darklands
Autoduel


I downloaded DOSBox to play Wizard's Crown a couple of months ago. As you can see from my list, I have expanded my Dosgames folder. I registered an account @ abandonia.com and favorited about 25 games. Not sure I will get through all of them, but I am having a blast with the ones I have chosen so far. Only hiccup is that I can't get sounds to work. Since the first thing I do when I install a game is turn the music off, I am not missing it as much as you might think.

I'd love to play more of my own DOS titles, but for some reason DOSBox and my Mac don't quite get along on the CDROM front, keeping me from Xeen saga, Crusader, Wing Commander 3, Shadowcaster, and Ravenloft.

Course I keep switching games and going OOH SHINEY for a week then on to something else.  I'm suprised how long I have been keeping Super Robot Taisen 4 going.

Mainly since I have been a good boy and haven't bought a new game in a while.  Not even a portable Atlus title even though those things have shit print runs!

(I'm thinking Ghostbusters and Transformers are better served as budget releases for me, so I can wait on both of those.  Might get DS TF, and GB for the Wii.  But I think I can wait 6 months.)

LotRO
Persona 4
Devil Summoner 1 (shush)
Dawn of Discovery
Age of Conan trial... sort of
Last Remnant

In related news, my GameCube memory card has become corrupted and I need to take it from the boy and see if I can fix it, or at least copy the saves off (if possible), else I'll lose some treasured items like my RE4 bottlecaps and my Eternal Darkness save.  I am thinking of bringing the GC downstairs and reattaching it because the boy has been on a hard GC kick lately: Pikmin and Mario Sunshine in particular, with a dash of Chibi Robo.

The wife is still playing The Sims 3, making textures and houses... or something.  Apparently no one in the community has been able to make a piece of furniture for the game yet, which I find annoying even though I don't play it.  My wife, of course, got all of the for-sale stuff in the EA store without paying, but it's still a crap maneuver by EA.

I bought Zeno Clash and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic over the weekend.

Zeno Clash really highlights how Dark Messiah suck (and it do suck, I don't think I'll finish it). Zeno Clash is awesoem, especially the characters. Some of the mad forest creatures you meet are just  DRILLING AND MANLINESS

I'm working on finishing the top levels in the challenge mode, you can only fight so many elephants/man eating pigs/giant ferrets before you learn their combat pattern and it gets dull. Especially since there only is one way to kill them. The new challenge levels in the DLC are much more entertaining. The light platforming and stuff are pretty hilarious. Especially throwing golden robot-people of cliffs.

I like eurorpgs and have a high tolerance for their oddities, I'm not the best person to ask.

It's a bit linear but still enjoyable. I prefer the Gothic series, but I like it better than the last couple Elder Scrolls. I also paid $5 shipped with an amazon coupon, so that helps.

Well, I'm letting WoW lapse again.   

So on my list of stuff I'm playing at least a little bit daily or every other day is:

Team Fortress 2
Fallout 3

Stuff that gets played less often, but still worth having installed

GTA IV
Call of Duty: World at War


Currently waiting on:

Champions Online (have a group of friends lined up to play with, which I hope will make the game worth it, even in the face of a game that doesn't look exceptionally amazing).

A lot of LotRO due to the summer festival (over 20 hours in the last week, which hasn't happened for a while), skirmishes vs. AI in Dawn of War: Dark Crusade when I want to see something blow up, and Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

CoC is nicely atmospheric, but essentially a rail shooter with no shooting, and frequent interruptions by non-interactive dialogue and cutscenes. I'm finding this combination surprisingly irritating. Also, I'm not reacting well to the complete lack of a HUD. More immersive, sure, but I shouldn't need NPCs to tell me that I'm wounded and need bandages.

I was playing some Red Faction: Guerilla.
Last weekend though, I unwrapped Fallout 3 which had been in shrinkwrap in my shelf behind me since release.

Aside from friends coming over twice for some LAN-Titan Quest, I haven't played anything else. Might do some Rock Band tonight, though...

Inspired by the (sadly failed) Battlefield Heroes experiment, I bought Call of Duty: World at War for the PC. It's an amusing rollercoaster, and the multiplayer should hold my interest for a while. I'm also debating with myself over whether or not to start playing Dawn of War 2 again with the 1.4 beta patch. Finally, I have Tiger Woods 10 to play on the old 360, but for some reason I can't bring myself to even unwrap the box.

Point Lookout. It's good. Not great.
Started Force Unleashed again. It's fine, I guess. It's an odd game. I don't hate it, I don't love it. Has just enough pull that I'll go back to it now and again and advance just a bit. Normally when I'm done with something I'm done with it.

Your hesitation might stem from the fact that not playing Tiger Woods 10 on the Wii is a big mistake.  It's your subconscious mind telling you to return the box to the store, and procure the Wii version with Motion Plus without delay, because surely that's what you meant to do all along.

Unless of course you don't have a Wii, in which case you can carry on about your business.
