I Am a Gamer

Yep. That was it. @_@ Damn rouges.




Eh. Nothing much. Civilization 3; I tried Europa Universialis 3 or 4 or something, but I hate it. When other countries are in alliances, they use their forces brilliantly. When you're in an alliance, your allies hardly do shit for you. I teamed up with the French one time, they took a giant force right next to an enemy that was invading my territory...then they just turned around and went back to France. I was playing a free FPS, Dirty Bomb. It's not bad. Sort of like a parkour fast-paced shooter.




Played Fallout 3 again. Saints Row IV which I got bored of somewhat quickly. A bit of Transistor: beautiful music, beautiful game; but the game just doesn't maintain my attention: turn-based action strategy. A couple months ago I was playing Skyrim modded out the ass. But, I played through like two characters fully, put like 400 hours in, so I'm pretty burnt out on Skyrim. :/ Most recently trying Dark Souls again, despite the shitty PC controls.




What about you? What have you been playing?

Haha - yup, you cloth-ies make it way too easy. At least I was nice and never camped corpses - murdering someone once was always enough for me. Though if I ran into you again later on... *evil smile*


Yup, AI's are dumb. I tend to either turn off the ability to ally, or create fixed, balanced alliances, in any sort of strategy game where it unbalances things - either by letting me exploit it in order to isolate enemies, or where it screws me over because my allies are dumb and don't know how to coordinate with a human.


Skyrim is superb - I've put in maybe 200 hours total on it, but a lot of that was finding new mods I *had* to have, and then creating new characters and redoing the same things I'd already done, so there's a lot of core content that's still completely new to me. I'm actually playing 2 characters right now - one traditional one, and a "mage" who's not allowed to use any weapon except a single dagger, not allowed to use shields, not allowed to have any companion except a fellow mage, and not allowed to give that mage any non-cloth armor or any weapon except for a single dagger. I can still raise corpses and summon things, but one of my mods adds reasonably-well-balanced-but-nonetheless-extra-powerful enemies to the higher level spawn-lists, which means that when I encounter them, my summoned/raised minions tend to fall over and stop moving a lot :/


That, Enemy Within Longwar, and the Sims 3 are my main trinity right now. Aside from RPG's (ususally western, though I've liked some JRPG's over the years too) and shooters, simulation games are my other main genre. I'm a derp, so it took me until recently to realize that there was a whole modding community for the Sims 3 that I had never even explored. Though once I bite the bullet and lay out the cash to get Fallout 4, I imagine my gaming priorities will shift quite a bit.


Overall, are you a Fallout 3 person or a Fallout New Vegas person?

Skyrim is one of the best games, ever, imo. I've only put 400 hours in on the PC version. I put another 160 on the console version. :P Oh, I have no life. Oh that reminds me. I haven't beaten the Ebony Warrior in Skyrim, yet. Summoning and destruction mage was my first toon on Skyrim. God, it's OP. I ripped through everything. I think that's why I like warriors more on Skyrim. The only thing I really haven't messed with is illusion. You really need to boost damage with summoning.




I tried Requiem, the mod for Skyrim. Jesus. Talk about difficult. They tried to make it more like Morrowind. So that means farming mudcrabs for, like, the first 15 levels. -.-;; Fucking hardcore. But, I didn't like it. Too much farming. I just got some Legendary damage upgrader. I was at 5 times normal Legendary damage and still not taking any damage. -.-;; Of course, one issue I had was the armor cap of 80% damage reduction. You reach it too quickly. And you reach it with cloth. There's really no advantage to wearing heavy armor--and you run more slowly. You might get more armor more quickly, but that's useless by mid-game. Somehow wearing leather is just the same as wearing heavy armor, except without the movement penalty.




Haha. Yeah. I didn't even know about mods for a good while, growing up as a console player namely. But hey. What's you're excuse as a native PC gamer? :P




Oh God yes. God yes. oanfd;ognarfg I can't wait. You know. I think I have to say New Vegas. I feel like they did a lot better job on New Vegas, and that's having just recently played Fallout 3. I absolutely loved Mr. House. I tried playing through by killing him, after taking his side twice already; but every time I was there I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Fallout 3 was a great story. But New Vegas really resonated with me because of Mr. House, I think. Man. I really want to replay it. I think I might replay New Vegas before getting Fallout 4.

"Unknown" and "Enemy Within" are both really well made. Very fun on tablets as well, was surprised.

Really? I guess it makes sense that turn based tactical strategy games would work better than most on a tablet. Still, I wouldn't want to play Longwar mod on Ironman mode on a tablet - the lack of total concentration would probably get my squad murdered on anything but low panic abduction missions. And even those would be dicey on smaller maps where it's way too easy to aggro multiple groups of xrays at the same time.

Totally agree, was just referring to "Xcom".
