General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

^ If you ever played Risen, the controls are sort of like that, except the game is more forgiving. Once you get a hang of how it works, it actually becomes pretty fluid, it's just that the learning curve is pretty steep. My second playthrough was a cakewalk compared to the first.

If you're playing a swordsman, don't forget to pick up the special moves (riposte etc.), they make the game a lot easier.

And don't overlook bombs and traps, they're very useful, especially dealing with monsters.

I have came to that conclusion as well. The learning curve is a little rough at first, but once you get the hang of using bombs, oils, and potions it gets better. The flaws with the controls can be avoided by focusing on traps and other tricks. I would like to say that QTE should be abolished from gaming though. I am sick of QTE being in every fucking cinema in every game now. I cannot watch a cinema without looking for a button to pop up somewhere. I am aware that it can be turned off, but in some games that is not the case. Just my two cents.

Guess I missed it. I haven't seen it in stores. Steam I guess?
 
Steam, XBL, PSN, Mac OS X, iPad, Retail.

If you liked the movies you're gonna love the shit out of this game. If you didn't like the movies and like adventure games you're still gonna love the shit out of this game. :D

I love both things!
 
I have a major gaming problem. It seems I now have the attention span of a three year old. Many games barely hold my interest long enough for me to beat them. Games that would have once been playable with a few flaws, are now almost painful to play. It is like I am turning into the guy that complains about everything. My friends go on and on about Skyrim, and I can't look past the flaws. I physically made myself play the game and it was a sad sight. I trudged through long enough to cause my blood pressure to boil. My friends talk about how cool it is, but I just stare at the ground in disgust. RPG of the year! Bah! Damn my overly high expectations, and my inability to look past faults and enjoy things.
 
Gonna have to wipe the dust off my controller, because apparently Ys Origin translation project has been released!

And also Xanadu NEXT has been translated as well. Although I'll probably put off replaying that one for a bit.
 
Went back to playing Civilzation 5. I am trying to provoke World War 3 by closing off the major oil routes. :)

As far as I knew, I thought it would only be on the PC, PSN or the Wii. It's a shame that it isn't on xbox live. It's what happened to the third Sam and Max game that was only for the PC and PSN :cry:
 
@ Brandonhart: Double posting bastard!

I played Scribblenauts with my Gf last night. I actually love that little game. Anyone who has a DS should buy it.

So, has anyone played the PC Version of LA Noire? is it a good PC Port?

Ran fine for Painless DocM but it's a tad slow for me (either because I have a dual core or it hates XP). Otherwise it's a pretty damn good port, especially considering Rockstars track record on ports.
