What other games are you playing these days?

[Buck Birdseed]

I've spent the summer playing through a series of classic SNES RPGs – Sword of Mana, Final Fantasy III/VI, Chrono Trigger, the game that's currently being guessed in Name that Game, and finally Seiken Densetsu 3. Of these I only finished Chrono Trigger – in all the others I reached points where I'd have had to spend an hour or more levelling up against weaker enemies before I could tackle the next section, a task which I consider a failing of game design and which bores me immensely.

Since I'm scrapping my computer in a couple of days' time, I'm currently finishing off some lighter fare in the form of B-level FOA-clone Flight of the Amazon Queen which is providing a pleasant diversion.

I've started playing Freelancer again.

Are you playing 1.10? Im not familiar with the latest patch, but if you invest some points in Holy shield, with pretty decent shield u shouldnt have a problem with any big nasty melee guys.

or..... you can give the gold to ur friend, open up 2 TP, activate thorn, take his TP to the boss and let him whack you.

Sadly thats how i beat few of the bosses in my earlier pathetic days in D2... but it works...

Yes, the latest patch (1.10). It does feel a little bit more difficult... but that's not it. I have always sucked with Duriel - I hate the lack of manoeuvring space in that cell. Most likely, I haven't invested into the right skill - having just 1 point in Holy Shield ATM, I think... thanks for the tip! Will try it next time (that will be on the Hell level, if I ever get there).

At the moment I am also playing Freecell. I have a (so far unbroken) string of 21 35 consecutive wins. W00t for me.

[edit] Skuciniwalcher sucks.

Freecell sucks

GSC's series of Cossacks and their various versions, EW, AOW and BTW, American Conquest. A full scale RTS I'm addicted to.

I don't like most wargames (don't like gore very much unlike some of you) unless they're tactical, glorious and reminds me of Sun Tzu and Chinese style intrigue. Hence why I like GSC's series and Cossacks.

I have ut2k4 but I dislike it. BF1942, I like that slightly more.

I have some other simulation games, Simcity, flight sims, the lot, but I play those less often as well.

Oh yes.

WEIQI (also known as Go)

Glorious board games!

WC 3: the Frozen Throne. I'm on the last mission for the Night Elves and I've been playing it for a while but it was placed on hold when I moved to my new place a month ago.

Am thinking of going back to it sometimes soon

3 is more of the same, but 4 was not that well received by HoMM fans.

[Ben Kenobi]

Three is a blast, more eye candy and better scenarios.

[Dis]

Civ3 and Smac. Along with Neverwinter Nights. I still play Diablo 2 occassionally. I have Fallout 1 and 2 and tactics on my hard drive, but I don't play them often. I also play KOTOR occasionally. And baldur's gate 1 and 2 occasionally.

Edit: whoa, wrong thread. Nothing to see here.

[Aramis]

aramis makes sure no one is looking, then sneaks back into the thread and shouts,

Many years ago I never finished either Riven nor Myst: Exile, and now I am!

aramis sneaks back out before anyone realises he was there, thus avoiding embarrassment
