General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

regardless how often I started the game.

There was at least one thing I always did.

Finding Myron. Taking him to the desert. Shooting his leg. Leaving the area.
 
Hmmm I never met Myron in any of my 2 playthroughs.

Maybe is because in both, the only interactions I have with the Mordinos is to make the boss drink Nuka Cola so I can kill him with no effort. Mostly because when he dies he says "Dios Mio!" which I always read in my mind with a certain accent from around here and I find it funny like a retard.

I don't think it's necessary to have some great interaction with Mordinos in order to get the stable's location.
 
I seriously never got to that place.

Edit: from the wiki

"Access may be granted to the stables by asking Lil' Jesus Mordino in the Desperado for a job, he will then direct the PC to Big Jesus Mordino who will give the PC directions to the stables"

I guess I gotta make another run were I don't kill Geezus Mordino.
You just don't fuck with the Jesus.

How can you not have managed to get there? Oo Even the first time i came to New Reno i was basicly railroaded there :P
 
Because I always overdose Jesus Mordino so I never get the quest that gives me the location of the Stables. I have worked for Bishop (and banged his wife) and the old man (and banged Bishop's wife too). I may do a third one were I side with the Mordinos, or at least don't kill their boss first chance I get.
 
Praise the Sun! Someone made a easy friends connection fix for Dark Souls so you can engage in jolly co-operation. Rather oddly it was a simple edit to prioritise the gfwl friends list which is so obvious it should have been in the game anyway.
Currently tag teaming with a friend as two thieves, kinda dickish as we just stand on either side backstabbing the enemy when they turn round.

Haven't got there yet, I'm allergic to them so taking my time going everywhere but Anor Londo. That and it took half a week to get GFWL working.
 
And it's Polish.

I returned to World in Conflict. That game is destruction porn. Steam should have noted that Soviet Assault includes the base game. I spent two days figuring out that if you install WiC and SA, the two conflict and won't work.

WIC is still on my whislist.. I wanted it when it was released but i never tried/bought it :/
 
I have the manual, the box and the complimentary demo disk, just not the actual game disk of that.
Good thing I realised that before someone brought it from the charity shop I sometimes volunteer at. :V

Shame really, I always like playing European factions rather than the standard US/Russia combo.

I saw it on a discount for about...6 euros, I guess?
This was the "full" version, with the expansion/stand-alone/whatever.

Worth it?
To which games would you compare it?
 
Definitely worth it. If the online community is still present, it's brilliant in both single and multiplayer.

I'd compare it to Company of Heroes, though it's on a bigger scale and with more emphasis on combined arms operations. Requires quick thinking and a genuine strategic approach, especially in multiplayer. Rushing the enemy will get you killed. Tanks without anti-air defence from support players will get curb-stomped by gunships. Infantry in the open will get destroyed. Gunships will be useless if they don't respond to threats immediately and get the hell out of Dodge when Shilkas, Vulcans, or AA missile platforms start rolling up.

And then there are tactical aids, which add a whole new dimension to the game. You can't camp with tanks, because tank busters will ruin your day. You can't rely on bridges, since they will get taken out by laser guided missiles. You have to stay on the move and press the initiative. Unless the enemy launches a nuke, then it's just running for the hills. Of course, they may have targeted your drop zone, which means a really bad day.

It's a great game, especially when you play in multiplayer and use actual strategy to win. I remember playing on Hometown and denying large parts of the map to the enemy by taking out bridges with laser guided missiles and burning down the forests so that their infantry has nowhere to go. Of course, that works both ways.
 
Finished Hotline Miami again. Best game. Waiting for Hotline Miami 2 now so hard.

Are you playing DkS for the first time, or is this just a rare opportunity for you to enjoy the game's multiplayer that you've otherwise played more or less alone? I'm always mystified by the "surge" in play certain games see when they're ported to another system, though usually for the worse.

Been playing very little of anything besides GTAV right now. Damn that's a great game. I spent the first several days just being continuously wowed by everything it allowed me to do, and being further wowed by stories of what ELSE I could do from friends who'd thought of things that never came to my mind. A week later, I had to take a moment to realize that some of the activities I had been enjoying and considering a given were actually amazing implementations that no other game either had, or did at all well. Like bowling from GTAIV before it, sure you can do this or that in another game, but as well as this in GTAV, combined with everything else you can do, too? The massive scope of this sandbox has been a transcending dream for me. I'm ecstatic about GTA Online going live in 2 days' time. =)

I turned my PC on for the first time in a week because of GTAV, and laughed when I saw icons that reminded me I'd recently been playing The Walking Dead and Fallout Tactics. I'd totally forgotten about them for a little while... XD

Played it before, it was a few trailers of Dark Souls 2 that got me into watching the Dark Souls lore videos and then back into the game once more.
I was quite lucky before and often got connections but the mod makes it so much easier to meet up with chums. No more spamming soapstones to reset all the summons over and over again.
Got a halberd/shield knight kicking around somewhere on a backup hard drive but decided to go for something easier and ended up picking thief because masochism. :V

Interesting time to replay it due to the Steam sale, it very rarely goes on sale so the large influx of new players makes the Undead Burg a lot more interesting... or at least the bloodstains do.
