What games did you beat/do you play/are you looking forward to play?

Recently beat:

Civ4 (well, I beat it the only way you can, by uninstalling it :help: )
Halo (I'd never played it, so picked it up for $10 on Amazon. Really enjoyed this one)
Star Wars: Battlefront II (surprisingly enjoyable, and I have a 7-year-old son, so we played together. And really, absurdly, replayable)
Medieval:TW (for the umpteenth time)

Currently playing:
toee
Medieval II demo (probably not going to buy it at least not for a while because RL is telling me to put the games down for a bit, but it does look fun. I play it as close to turn-based as possible by using frequent pauses)
Axis & Allies (pbem with an old friend)
might still load up Halo &/or Battlefront II now and then


Looking forward to:
NWN2 (maybe, I'll give it some time to see a: how buggy and b: how it's received (esp. based on the reactions here))
kotb (no-brainer)
Half-Life (yep, I've never played this one either. I have the platinum edition sitting on my shelf, and I'll install in once this recent spate of RL demands recedes)


This is a thread I really look forward to hearing from other people on.

 

Beat Recently: ToEE, Oblivion

Playing now: ToEE

All time faves: Daggerfall, Morrowind, BG1&2, IWD2, Wizardry VII, Civilization I&II, Warlords II & III, Master of Magic, Arcanum, ToEE

Looking forwrd to playing: Not much at the moment. I like my RPGs single player and when possible turn based. There's nothing like that out there right now, and I don't know of any coming soon. I may try the newest BG TuTu romances some time soon; I made some items for the mod back when it was starting, and it was finally finished a year or so ago. Of course I'm looking forward to KotBL

 

Ahh, a fine subject Agetian:yes:

Games beaten recently:

TOEE (again, this time to both have fun with the new additions, and also see where my floating text banter may work)
Arx Fatalis (for the 3rd time)
Arcanum.

Games currently playing:

TOEE (yes, again lol)
Rome Total war with Europa Barbarorum mod installed
Knights of Legend (Old Origin RPG)
Conquest of the Aegean

Looking forward to playing:

Age of Decadence (This is on my hit list. Just google it and have a look, you won't be disappointed. If you enjoy a fine TBC RPG)
Neverwinter nights 2....if its any good
Medieval total war 2
Gothic 3
Keep on the borderland (again, on the top of the hit list).

 

Games beaten ?

Hm, far too few. I don't really know why, but I'm relatively easily frustrated.

The latest RPGs I beated recently :

- Summoner
- Beyond Divinity
- Nox (was playing this with really big pauses from the year 2002 !)
- Divine Divinity

Currently playing (overall, not only RPGs) :

- Beyond Good & Evil (a real gem !)
- The Longest Journey (another gem)
- Tropico (still one of my favourite games somehow)
- Gothic 1 (I think I'll start it a third time when I've finally got a new PC)
- Pools of Radiance ( I honestly don't like that game much, but I really really want to finish it one day)
- PS:T (I'll start it on a new PC anew just in order to finish it - same goes for BG1)
- Siege of Avalon (which is kept alife by a small, but very good group of modders)
- HOMM III (complete version)
- the Realms of Arcania game "Startrail", which is still my favourite RPG. It even beats PS:T in my very personal ranking.
- TOEE

Looking forward to :

Drakensang, the first RPG (after two failed attempts because of developers going out of business) that implements the rules of Germany's most popular RPG system, the Dark Eye. http://www.thedarkeyerpg.com/

The first games for this system were the Realms of Arcania trilogy : Blade of Destiny, Startrail and Shadows over Riva.

LMK, which had the name "The Lady, the Mage and the Knight", and the German title "Legenden der Magierkriege" failed because Larian Studios (makers of Divinity) and Attic (makers of the Realms of Arcania trilogy) split, with Attic going out of business. Guido Henkel of Attic was one of the development team for PS:T. This had led to the German saying that "every RPG Guido Henkel works with becomes a good RPG".

The second failed attempt was the game Armalion, which was only quite shortly before completion closed because developer Ikarion went out of business.
The remains of this full-blown RPG were bought by Ascaron and they made Sacred out of it. I'm still sad about it. Insiders familiar with the Dark Eye RPG system can still spot remains of Armalion in it. The black-robed cult members for example were in Armalion priests of the (friendly, of course) god of sleep an death, Boron. Signs of other gods of this system can still be found in a few places, and NPCs had different roles in the original Armalion game.

So now after almost 10 years this is the first *real* game for that system. I think I would exaggerate if I said kind of an earthquake ran through the community of Germany's Dark Eye players, but to me it felt this way.

Since it's very early now, no-one can say what kind of game this might become. The goal of the devs Radon Labs is, to make kind of an "Baldur's Gate game for the Dark Eye system" or so, meaning the game mechanics, not the story itself (and not the rule system, of course).

This the only game I'm really waiting for.

 

Games beaten recently:

Techmo Superbowl

Games currently playing:

TOEE
Counter Strike...the original
Dungeon Siege 2

Looking forward to playing:

Neverwinter nights 2...MSU has a class that is using the toolset to make modules.
Keep on the borderland

 

Wow! You guys play lots of games. I've mostly given them up. I haven't bought a new one in ages, it seems. Takes away too much from other hobbies (kayaking), I guess. Now, a few years ago, it woulda been quite different. So - let's get me back on topic here with games:

NWN + Supplements
ToEE
Baldur's Gate I & II + Supplements
Diablo I & II + Expansions

I love Air Combat sims, too, but only if you don't really have to know how to fly a real jet to play. Piston engine flight stuff lacks the power I'd gotten used to. Of these, Jane's stuff is a favorite, especially the Fighter's Anthology. Also, got into TIE Fighter & X-Wing way back when...and played throught the first Star Fleet Command game quite a bit. Every now & again I drag out the Air/Space combat stuff to keep up the hand/eye coordination.

New stuff? I'm only waiting for KotB, really.

Kayaking...I've logged more than a few miles on a good many rivers, lakes, inlets & an ocean, to include:

Lynches River
Little Pee Dee River
Lower Edisto River
Congaree River
Lower Saluda River
Broad River
Black Creek
Big Pine Tree Creek & Millpond
Lake Murray
Lake Juniper
Forest Lake
Lake Oakdale & Middle Swamp
Murrel's Inlet
Atlantic Ocean

Takes up a lot of potential computer game time...

 

Playing ToEE 5.0.2 now, at least to level 4. I love Medal of Honor, all series, and Call of Duty(all). I'm not a very good game player and I die a lot, but I enjoy the entertainment value. It took me forever to finish Medal of Honor, Allied Assault. It takes me awhile, but eventually, I can win the game. I may never finish Call of Duty 2. It's hard. Never got very far into NWN, and haven't gone back. ToEE is much better.

 

Ted: You finished Pool of Radiance. You get to stick the bad guy for good (I think he is finally killed anyway) in the next game in the series: Curse of the Azure bonds.

 

hmm lets see now

Baulders Gate, all of them

ToEE
Mechwarrior 4 mercenaries
Icewind Dale II
Mechcommander 2
Shadow Hearts Covenent

GAMES IM LOOKING FOWARD TO PLAYING:

ToEE KotB

 

TOEEFE of course, NWN2 wich imho is a very good game, but you better be ready to upgrade your pc. Oblivion for pc, LotR Battle for Middle Earth II, and Titan Quest, with an occasional side trip to Baldur's Gate Tales of the Sword Coast.

 

If you haven't tried it yet, BG TuTu followed by B2:SoA and ToB, with the full set of romance and NPC mods makes for an overwhelmingly cool gaming experience. Still my personal favorite, and one I might repeat in a few years.
