I'm getting a jarring reminder that no matter how much I love RTS games, I am awe-strikingly terrible at them, especially against other people or against an AI set more difficult than "mentally handicapped".

So, you're like me, then?

Well, as I put it to one of my friends earlier, "I'm a turtler in a rusher's world." I don't know if there's a fundumental problem with how I play or if the turtler gameplay is just too deeply engrained in me, but I am just not fast enough to be good. It seems like the enemy (AI or human) always has an army before I even have a barracks. I'm going to try to stick with SCII as long as possible and hopefully figure out how to hone my skills a bit.

I sympathize, I'm a turtler at heart as well.

As far as SC2 goes, I heartily recommend the "I Suck at Starcraft 2" video series by TotalBiscuit, very entertaining and high production values

Demon's Souls.

It's good, but it's difficult.

DBR · July 30 2010, 09:42 AM

Picked up Harry Potter LEGO. Enh. I think I'm just burned out on these LEGO games.

I was just playing GTA San Andreas, and took a break from it and am now playing NMH2, on the last area...

Goliath · July 30 2010, 04:50 PM

I was actually thinking of playing GTA: San Andreas again.

I've only played it once. But then, it was like three games in one.

Plus, it broke my PS2. So I'm kind of scraed to re-try it.

Haggis and tatties · July 30 2010, 11:23 PM

Ghostbusters.

Jono · July 31 2010, 04:50 AM

Finished my first playthrough of Dragon Age and am onto Awakenings (also did Leliana's Song).

Also got the Sword of the Stars complete collection. Had a copy of the original years ago but I'm now still trying to learn the ways to actually get a win.

After moving two months ago I finally unpacked my 360! I'm playing Halo Wars for the first time. I hate playing RTS on a console but their design is actually remotely playable, yay. I'm mainly just playing it for the Halo story. But it's alright. I actually like the pre-placed base spaces, and the defense turrets are damn powerful which I like since I'm a slow building turtler. 'Course I am playing on Easy...

stalin2005 · August 2 2010, 08:32 PM

After finishing Dragon Age: Origins (which was decent) I am now back to Mass Effect.
After playing it again for two hours, I remember why I enjoy it more than ME2. The sense of exploration is severely lacking in ME2 and I love the Mako

I'm giving a demo I saw on Fileshack a try. It's a FPS Terminator game using the Unreal 3 engine.

Initial impressions were that you can't alter the options too much and that I needed to turn the speakers down. It does have a certain amount of atmosphere to it, but I've barely started it so can't say how bright the AI is or how long it is. Going off the file size, I reckon it won't be huge.

Just decided to buy Hitman Blood Money on steam because I so enjoyed that game back when it came out. After watching The Pacific and Band of Brothers I decided to try the Brother In Arms Hells Highway demo on 360...

Its ok I guess might get it since only about £12 brand new anyone else here played it ? Semms perfect for a co-op mode pity they didn't add it and oh do your own AI actualyl ever hit anything ? in the demo they were useless I mean supressing yeh but hit something too FFS.

One of my mates loves it (Xbox original version though). I remember trying the PC demo and enjoying it, but it's been a while.

Team Fortress 2

Akiraprise · August 3 2010, 07:29 AM

I'm still putzing around with Star Trek Online. The season 2 add on is keeping my interest.

Mr Light · August 4 2010, 01:59 AM

Well, Halo Wars was fun but extremely short lived, and the skirmishes got boring fast. I'm glad I only paid ten bucks for it. Next up: Saint's Row 2... or Fallout 3... or Orange Box. Hmm...

Mr Light · August 5 2010, 12:03 AM

OK, I finally cracked open the Orange Box! I played the first ?14? levels of Portal before I finally got pissed off at it and stopped. It's a very fun and inventive game though, and I usually hate puzzle games.

Alas since I'm not on XBL I can never enjoy Team Fortress 2...
