Title: The what are you playing this month thread? September Edition.
Post by: Bacon on August 30, 2011, 04:26:11 AM
As September is about to arrive, i reckon we should see what people are upto.

Currently playing

L.A. Noire (PS3)
Had it a couple of days, seems very repetitive and not much to do, i'm about halfway through, decided to give it another chance but its not looking good.

Dirt 3 (PS3)
Had this a couple of days, can't believe how different it is to Dirt 2, seriously tempted to sell this also and replay Dirt 2 through again.

BFBC2 (PC)
Ongoing, for some quick fun, waiting in anticipation for BF3.

Guild Wars (PC)
When i can be bothered to login i am usually just sat trading or running chests.

Borderlands (PC)
Still not got round to some action with ClockedOne yet, i fear this will be in the canned section soon.

Minecraft (PC)
I keep this for nights i get back late and just need to relax, nothing makes me more sleepy than Mining stone for an hour!

Canned

Duke Nukem: Forever (PC)
Got to a specific boss and got stuck, doesn't have the playability that the originals had and as such i'm bored of it.

On the PC: Magicka, Team Fortress 2 (still awesome), Spiral Knights (addictive), and Bastion.

3DS: Ocarina of Time

360: Still trying to find time for LA Noire, also have a ton of other games I haven't even opened/barely played yet (Alice, Alan Wake, Crysis 2, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, FEAR 3, From Dust, Ms Splosion Man).

Stupid real-life, you don't even earn XP or level up from socializing... :P

Most recently I've been playing :

Gods Eater Burst on the PSP when I'm on the train to work, its brilliant. Kind of like Monster Hunter lite, which is perfect for travelling.

At home I've been catching up on my older stuff, PS2 release Stella Deus is the most recent game thats been on the big TV.

Nothing on PC anymore, I've been out of the PC loop for so long I've lost track of everything released and I fear my PC wouldn't handle it anyhow.

I was busting my way through Borderlands all last week, I'm up to about level 17 I think (just give me a shout Bacon and we'll get on it!). I'm just about to go after the two giant Skags, Moe and Whatsit.

I gave up on Duke Nukem shortly after the casino, it's just not kept me interested at all. I might go back to it when I get bored.

Minecraft gets random play still, the last time I went on was to check out teh funfair, if we all get some group sessions organised I'm sure it would get more playtime.

Left For Dead 2 still gets some co-op every so often with the missus, especially when the new campaign DLCs come out.

I've installed Starcraft 2 starter and have yet to play it also.

Alice : Madness Returns
Gorgeous game, completed it on the hardest level (DLC makes this even then too easy) will re-play it again around christmas to pick up the last few trophies for the platinum.

Nothing really. Only get to play games when i'm at home, which isn't often, and usually I'm busy then. Don't know how or when I'll fit in GoW3 and Elder Scrolls and a few other games I'd like to play!

Currently - Deus Ex, not as ground breaking as the original but still soo much fun, think I've spent just about all weekend playing it.

Got Red Dead Redemption off Tesco Rental the other day but its not getting any play time till after Deus Ex, and with being away on holiday next week and then I think Space Marine's getting released I can't see it getting much play time at all.

Edit: just checked and space marine's out on the 9th apparently.

Got talked into playing WoW again by my nephew after what must have been 2 years, had a hectic couple of months getting my Warlock ready to raid and I'm now raiding Fireland's, the guild I'm in is pretty casual so we only raid twice a week which suits me fine, really enjoying raiding again Blizzard have made the boss encounters a lot more interesting than the last time I did any at level 80, looking forward to seeing Ragnaros again!

First fireland's boss:

You need to drop Sims and upgrade to a full blown MMO tbh!

I wish people would realise that when they put these videos together they do nothing for WoW except make it look boring and geeky as hell.

I played the original Command and Conquer for a couple of hours last night.
16years on and I enjoyed it just the same as the day I bought it. It is amazing that the story, missions and quality of everything is just so good.

The only game that matches it is Red Alert1, which I will play through after this.

We'll never see games this good again imo.

I used to play WoW when my brother did, he paid for the subscription, but this was just before starting year 11, so I was too busy. Plus I get bored reaaaaally easily. The whole new sparkly fascination of it wears off after two days and I hardly ever play it again.

I do want Minecraft though,  purely for the dinosaurs :)
