When I have time GTAV Online level 32 at present

Bastard. They still haven't brought it out for the PC.

Although, rumours of ports for both that _and_ Red Dead Redemption are surfacing. I would totally get that for the PC.

I got Borderlands about a month back and played up to level 20, but I seem to have lost interest.

Bought Wolfenstein: The New Order on Steam Summer Sale, but have yet to play it.

Been replaying a few games (Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Sims 3).

Nothing new out right now. :/

I got the Legendary edition of Skyrim off that sale, so that's what I'm playing. First time I've played the DLC expansions. Also modded it to hell this time...more than 50 mods running atm.

I've given up on Borderlands. Too many times you're fighting enemies that just soak bullets and take forever to kill, so you spend ten minutes running and kiting and shooting and switching weapon when you run out of ammo, just waiting for it to finally die. It got boring.

Instead, yesterday I started Papo & Yo, which was recommended on Anita Sarkeesian's latest video. Really excellent puzzle platformer, and also an extended metaphor for a child dealing with an abusive alcoholic parent (you solve puzzles by interacting with a giant beast called Monster, who is usually docile but becomes uncontrollably violent when it eats a certain food - in this case frogs). Just finished it today (it's a pretty short game).

Now I need another new game...

I hate short games. Waiting for GTAV on PC now.

Waiting impatiently for Far Cry 4.

I've started playing Mass Effect.

Wasteland 2 finally gets released this Friday (at least I think that is the release date). It has been more than 2 years since I put money into the Kickstarter for it--it should be worth the wait.

I loved the original on the Commodore 64. So does this mean a full 3D update like Fallout? I simply could not get into the Fallout update, sadly, but then again I have other commitments unlike I did back in the day. I could just smell "time-suck" when I started playing that, and gave up after a day or two of playing.
I kinda hope Wasteland is more like the original, but as I probably won't be playing it anyway, my opinion hardly matters.

It is top-down/isometric like the original game (or Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale) rather than first-person like so many modern games. I will wind up playing it when I can, which usually means after the kids head to bed but before I crash for the night.

I just lost something like two hours of play in Mass Effect, to a bug where I got stuck in an elevator. The game has an autosave feature, but hasn't used it in the entire time I was playing tonight.

Picked up a cheap copy of Far Cry 3 this weekend.

Finished Mass Effect today. I enjoyed it, although the gameplay wasn't all that good. I was on easy mode as a Commando, so I pretty much just charged around everywhere blasting my assault rifle, and the Mako driving bits were just awful. Worth it for the story, though.

So... gog.com (Good Old Games) had a promo last week, and I got a free copy of Mount & Blade, an oldish medieval RPG that I'd never seen or heard of before.

Decided to try it out late Friday night, and ended up spending almost the entire weekend glued to the damn computer.

Just bought the sequel, Warband, and it looks like it's almost exactly the same but with updated graphics.

This is the most fun I've had since X3 TC. A medieval elite-like RPG.

I'm busy charging around with a band of nomad horse archers raiding caravans and burning enemy villages.

Been playing Destiny for the last few days. It's not bad. A basic shoot 'em up with some kind of end of the world story.

I just like running around doing my own thing. Screw the storyline.

Anxiously waiting for The Crew to be released.

Picked up Kingdoms of Amalur: The Reckoning on a Steam sale and downloaded it this weekend. Meh. Fun enough I suppose but the game play isn't great. Can't even step down a 3-inch high ledge. Will probably do the main storyline, but 100 hours, this is not.

On that note, still playing M&B Warband. Downloaded a 1.2GB overhaul mod for it (3x bigger than the actual game) and started straight off with that. I'm currently the Marshall of the Khergit Khanate, and off to war with the Nords.

Saints Row IV. Fun if you're a fan of the series.
