Got a new computer that apparently will allow me to play ME3. You know what this means. I get to round out my obsession by buying me3 on my PC so I have the trilogy on all of my systems (PS3/360/PC). Problem what problem?

I just bought New Vegas with all the DLC off of Steam, even though I have the game and most of the DLC on the 360.

PC is just that superior.

For me it's only superior in the fact I can mod it and get space lesbians that bioware didn't let me have. Otherwise, I really do enjoy having my bigger screen.

I'm probably gonna mod my romances first and then do some textures and shit. I've been looking around to find what I want so we'll see.

Yeah it pretty much is.

Ironbite-I should really go get the Classic Fallout weapons mod

You really should. I love mods that add items to the standard leveled lists, because you get so much more variation. I even have a mod that does nothing but add 31 new food items; it's a mixture of real world foods and fictional ones, from canned goods to cereal to snack cakes, all with authentic 1950s packaging so it looks accurate to Fallout.

I got Super Mario 3D World and Rayman Legends.

Platforming times commencing!

Just played through and beat Ducktales Remastered in about four hours.  Good times, good memories.  Now to buy everything!

Sounds like your game is running as intended.

*death at a funeral* everything is so fuckin green!.

I'm having a hard time in mount and blade, I have no idea where to start. Everyone is insanely powerful and its a bitch to find looters around my strength

[kefkaownsall]

Nothing is more annoying then getting killed by a random tiger

I'm almost finished Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. I have to say, given that this is the first Assassin's Creed game I've played since the first, it's nothing short of amazing how much of a complete and utter mess the overall plot has become.

There's now basically an alien couple who're being constantly reincarnated as humans every so often throughout history and are apparently behind the Templars and their world domination related shenanigans, with the eventual goal of bringing back their species and taking over the world. Also, towards the end, Edward starts getting on his high horse about killing without even a smidgeon of irony, despite personally cutting down vast swathes of enemy sailors every single time he boards a ship (which, considering he's a pirate, is quite a lot). And that's not even considering what he gets up to on land.

Or something like that.

Still, at least the sailing is fun, as is the naval combat, if a little bit contrived. Though I can't wait to finish up so I can move on to Age of Pirates 2. A sandbox pirate sim with realistic ship physics and combat, and no (or at least a lot less) romanticisation of pirates.

Just bought Dead Island, Star Wars KOTOR and Far Cry 2.

[Ghoti]

I got Pokemon X and Little Inferno. Already done with the latter, and here's my take on it:

HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

[Alehksunos]

Brace yourselves for an unusual season: Almost every game I got is a "classic" game.

(click to show/hide)

• Monkey Island: Special Edition Bundle
•    - The Secret of Monkey Island
•    - Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
• LucasArts Adventure Pack
•    - The Dig
•    - Loom
•    - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
•    - Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
• Oddworld Pack
• - Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
• - Oddworld: Abe's Exodus
• Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee (funny, as I also have that game for the original Xbox)
• Skipped the other Oddworld series pack because I don't care for Stranger's Wrath. Hell, both of these packs were like buying all the games indiviually for no discount. :/
• X-COM: UFO Defense
• X-COM: Terror From the Deep
• X-COM: Apocalypse
• Skipped the X-COM pack as well because Interceptor and Enforcer are poo-poo. I even saved just two cents for avoiding them.
• Left 4 Dead Bundle (both 1 & 2, and for that, now I have every game Valve has made that's worth a damn. Screw Counterstrike and a pox to all these other serious military-themed FPSes.)
• Zeno Clash
• Alice: Return to Madness (please tell me I also get the original American McGee's Alice with this, there has to be a code for it somewhere...)
• Jamestown
• Commander Keen (Complete Pack; if the exlusion of Aliens Ate My Babysitter counts. )
• Ultimate DOOM
• DOOM II
• Quake
• Wolfenstein 3D
• Spear of Destiny
• Skipped the Wolf Pack because I'm not interested in Return to Wolfenstein.
• Duke Nukem 3D (hahahahaha)

While I was at it, I basically cleaned up my entire wishlist because there are currently too little other games I'm interested in now.

I got Gone Home on sale... and to be honest, I was pretty disappointed.  It was underwhelming.  I realize it was trying to be mysterious and let you unravel what happened, but a lot of it wasn't actually... necessary.  I finished it in less than 2 hours... and an hour and a half of that, I was tabbed out watching a live stream.

[Art Vandelay]

Using my $20 of Steam credit, I bought Hotline Miami and Fate of the World + DLC. Should be quite enjoyable once I find the time to give them both a go.

Also finished Assassin's Creed IV. Well, not only is the story an incoherent mess, but the game only makes half the hackable computers and collectable post-it notes available after you finish it. As if I'm going to continue with the by far most tedious and boring part of the game after everything's been wrapped up. All in all, it was alright for what it was, but there are much better pirate games to be had out there.
