You people are insane.

You people are insane.

They are obviously single men...

You people are insane.

No just really really bored.

I know its not a good excuse but as my writing and drawing skills develop so slowly I get depressed and go gaming to feel somewhat good again.

If you wouldn't waste so much time on games, your writing and drawing skills would develop faster.



Lazy bum. Go practice. Now!

FTL, very relaxing considering it's a roguelike.
Kind of a bugger on my first playthrough as I lost a crew member on my first jump and only having two means a lot of multitasking during fights.

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

I'm playing Alpha Protocol for the second time. It's a good game, I like it.

 

[Phil the Nuka-Cola Dude]

Guild Wars 2, and lots of it.


Is it perfect? Not by a long shot.

Do you get more than your money's worth for that $59.99? Hell fuck yes you do.

 

[Token-not-found]

Risen - it's ok, just ok.

Will do a second playthrough.

 

[TorontoReign]

Just beat MGS 3 for the first time. I liked it a lot, but not as much as MGS 2, which I am now replaying. The crappy PS2 graphics makes me wish I had the HD version though - It's sometimes hard to tell what is going on.

Why 1000 hours?

How many times did you have to play it to see all the branching stuff and all the different ways to solve side quests and interact with people?

I think more than 400 hours is overkill, unless you do it just because or role play or who knows what ... (staking books on shelves for hours and decorating your house comes to mind - that i remember people playing oblivion doing)

Mods dude. Lots of really great mods.

 

[TheDudeOfGaming]

I'm about to start playing New Vegas again. Also that's like 45 days of real life gameplay time. I leave ashamed.

 

[mobucks]

I have 358 hours on FNV according to steam.

I still havn't completed the game once.

Marijuana is a hell of a drug.

(lots of mods to play with contributed)

Whats worse? I easily have >1000 hours on Fallout 2 but never even made it to the tanker once.

I beat fallout 3 though.

I take my hat off to you, sir.

Same, though with only 180 hours it's a tad less embarrassing.

 

[Sub-Human]

So I started off with DayZ, played it for a day (or rather, an hour or two)... and stopped. The amount of hackers makes the game impossible to play. Not because they kill you, but because they spawn near everyone and give out the magical equipment boxes.

Instead, I switched off to ArmA. Played on a Domination mode (Players vs AI) and some kind of Warfare mode (PvP) - in here, your team gains money from capturing towns and killing enemies, and the elected Commander spends these monies on buying airfields, barracks etc. You start with default gear and can buy new weapons, and also can buy AI teammates and cars/choppers etc.

The Domination was more fun, particularly because the game actually gave you a decent amount of vehicles and choppers, so instead of having to travel 5+ km on foot for an objective, and then run somewhere else (because the aforementioned town was captured without your help), you could fly there or at least take a ride. Nevertheless, at least you could feel the teamplay that was going on, Battlefield 3 certainly lacks in that prospect, no matter what the anti-CoD 'cool' kids say on YouTube.

 

[mobucks]

See if you can find a game mode called Insurgency.

Best public co-op to be had.

 

[Makagulfazel]

Loved DayZ at first, then couldn't seem to go a day without seeing some form of hacker. Thermal-vision one-shot rifles(found a couple on people we've killed), box o' goods, helicopters, random immediate death without gunshots being fired, wrecked buildings in the main towns. My friends still want to play, but I've shelved it permanently.
It's an awesome concept for a game, but I hate playing having to play a running simulator whenever I die because of some cheating chump. While the deathmatch games such as CS:GO and Blacklight are becoming more than stale, hackers are effectively kicked and/or banned. I'll get my FPS fix from those games.

 

[Walpknut]

I got a Planetside 2 Beta key from the big twitter Beta Key blast giveaway thing.
Me and my friend have been playing like crazy, the game is rather intense. Sometimes too intense and we end up just playing TF2 to relax.
