What games are you playing currently?

Well, so far, I suck at riding horses.

[PsychoPere]

You'll get the hang of it. I wasn't all that great myself the first hour or so, and you should have seen how bad I was at wrangling a horse during a mandatory story mission. Later on, I was making decent money by breaking in horses as I traveled.

On the plus side, if you accidentally try going over a cliff, in most cases your horse will notice before you do and stop you.

[RoJoHen]

I just can't seem to get my horse to run consistently. I hit X like it says, but half the time my horse just won't do anything.

[Lindley]

I finally got around to finishing C&C Red Alert: The Aftermath, so now it's on to C&C 2: Tiberian Sun.

Currently playing Far Cry 2

[Mr Light]

I didn't like Far Cry 2. Took way too long to travel to places, the constantly respawning bad guys made travel even more ridiculous... and then the game froze 2/3 of the way through because of a bug and became unplayable.

[6079SmithW]

I actually beat it my first time through with no bug issues. On my second time through It got real buggy around 85 percent. My saves wouldn't load and I had to go way back to get a non corrupted file to continue. It worked and I eventually got all but one of the campaign achievements completed. Currently on my third play through.

[Mr Light]

Since I'm gonna buy God of War 1 first I started playing Kingdom Hearts 2. Basically got through the opening 30 minute cut-scene/tutorial then quit. Hopefully I enjoy it more than the first one which I put away after a couple hours.

[Joel_Kirk]

Stopped at 50% completion in Lord of the Rings: The Third Age....

It's one thing to be challenging, but it seems like things get repetitive...and no time is given for the player to 'relax'...(A big nitpick is: After you get done battling a powerful foe, you have to fight another powerful with depleted sources).

Too, I'm finding out that as I'm getting get bored, I am noticing things about stock footage from the films being used, the graphics, the story; obviously, the gameplay...

I was comparing this LOTR game to Silent Hill, as--even though they are different types of games--SH has a certain 'dark aura' about it that keeps the player in the dark as to what is going on, literally and figuratively; too, SH is challenging without being ridiculous. Of course, the graphics and sounds are menacing and help the creepy atmosphere.

Moving on to another game...which is another RPG with a purpose: Final Fantasy VII

[Mr Light]

Ugh, I'm seriously not enjoying Kingdom Hearts 2. What is the point of this 3-4 hour "prologue" with an entirely different character, premise, and setting from the actual storyline? Not to mention how confusing the story is, and I read the wiki synopses of the previous games. And I don't like the control scheme. All I wanna do is fight in Disney movie themed worlds, dammit...

[Chris3123]

I'm playing Halo Reach, of course. I'm currently working on the campaign. Will dive into MP and Firefight when I'm done with that.

[Servo]

Currently working through the Point Lookout expansion on Fallout 3.

Orlesian swine!

My favourite expansion of the lot.

I got all of them and enjoyed all of them, but that one is just all kinds of cool. And the rifle you get has become my favourite weapon.
