Trying to play the Battleborn Closed Technical Test right now, but it's being a little bitch.

Today I was carving up things in Mount and Blade... I'll likely pick that up more too...
Funny though, I followed the game during development, got it on release, played it to hell and back again, got it on Steam for reasons I've since forgotten...

I'm replaying Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines as Malkavian. <3

<3 <3 <3

Oh my God, I have only one thing to say about this game.

FUCK Activision for ruining it at release and for fucking Troika up by forcing them to release it in not-even-alpha state week after the release of Half-Life 2. Dumb motherfuckers

Take heart, Schwalbe. White Wolf has been bought by Paradox, a game company-so a sequel may be on the horizon.

Meh, Paradox is no Troika; the closest we have today to being a good old Troika or Interplay is Obsidian - and rather from the less good side of things (countless bugs on release).

What I meant was: Troika made games buggy as fuck, this is true and nobody denies that. BUT. There was always something so good it made those titles not only worth saving, but also legendary of a sort; Arcanum and Bloodlines, my God, those were true cRPGs, filled with great story, characters, atmosphere. Temple Of Elemental Evil - extremely sophisticated combat, perfect for those who seek things like that.

Obsidian is very close to make such games, but there's always something lacking - I see quite a pattern in Obsidians titles: the ending sections of the game seems rushed. There's also something quite disquieting among their games, at least for me: When you put it for, let's say, a week... it stays untouched. I'm talking about New Vegas and Pillars Of Eternity particularly.

Let me remind you fellas, I played Arcanum through 11 times, with 11 different characters, and 11 different set of choices. The only reason I'm replaying Bloodlines just now is that I got few months back and after ending it I had literally no time to play it again.

I remember when Paradox were this tiny little Indy team...

They've got a new (huge) office now. Offices named after famous paradoxes (IE: Schrödinger's Cat.) and Inspirational quotes posted about the place.. "Always be yourself, unless you can be a colourful unicorn, then be the unicorn."

I've enjoyed watching them evolve over the years...

YES I finally beat the 2nd character on radiohammer.

also realised they rereleased radiohammer into an online only version called radiohammer station. New content but no offline mode for a mobile device.

A strange and annoying trend from games bought from asialand. Barring of course rayark.

There is a lot going on right that is competing for my attention. Currently I've been playing a lot of Heart of Thorns exp for GW2, a bit of the Orsinium dlc for ESO, and the new expansion Rising Tide for CIV:BE. For new steam games its been all about Vermintide. On console, I have the new AC which is fantastic in beautiful Victorian London, as well as Rock Band. Soon I'll be absorbed in Battlefront.

Recently I installed Fallout 1 ( it RUNS on WINDOWS-FUCKING-8 ), and much to my surprise - this game is much more modest than I remembered it; Or maybe I mistook it with Fallout 2?

How do the two compare, and is KF2 worth buying?

But....
...why?

I feel sorry for you for buying Bioshock. Maybe it has a good story but I never got to experience it because gameplay is as dull as dinner with your granpdarents.


Back to the topic, I've recently bought Mad Games Tycoon, played like 13 hours and I feel it's all I can get from this game so far. It's still early access so I'll look forward to next updates. Also bought Banished.
