Re: What are you playing now?
I bought Alan Wake on Steam and I've been playing it for a couple of hours.
I like it. Very much. The atmosphere is incredible, very Lynch-like, and the writing is really top-notch.

Not only that the PC is Portal 2's native platform, being a Valve game and all.

Hmm. That sounds promising. I might have to look into that after I'm finished with Mass Effect 3.

After checking around, I've found out it uses save points. No save-anywhere or even quicksave. Unless it autosaves every few minutes, I'm not interested.Maiandra wrote:AndreaDraco wrote:I bought Alan Wake on Steam and I've been playing it for a couple of hours.

Re: What are you playing now?
You know I agree with you on this issue, and indeed at first I really missed saving whenever I wanted. However, the game is pretty smart and saves often, especially before and after a difficult fight.DeadPoolX wrote: After checking around, I've found out it uses save points.

As for the game itself, I've nearly completed Episode 3 (out of six total) and it keeps getting better. One of the best setting and story since Gabriel Knight 3 and coming from me that's a lot

Re: What are you playing now?
Playing GK2 to check back on the script, just finished the first chapter.
I still don't see what you all see in it, apparently.

Maia and I are alternating between Mass Effect 3 (multiplayer) and Trine 2 (co-op) right now.

Mass Effect 3 multiplayer and Alan Wake. Too little time...

I mentioned it in another thread, but currently my gaming time on the PC is consumed by Legend of Grimrock. Only on the third level and having so much fun!

Re: What are you playing now?
Currently playing "3-D Ultra Pinball: Fastest Pinball in Space" to insert in the Chest. Not sure yet how I'm going to record it properly since I would like to fulfill all the challenges on every table. Recording that is one thing, recording it in one sweep... Guess I better continue practicing

Mine as well, I am at level 7. Some enemies are rather strong and you have to run/hit all the time, just to survive.Tawmis wrote:I mentioned it in another thread, but currently my gaming time on the PC is consumed by Legend of Grimrock. Only on the third level and having so much fun!
Re: What are you playing now?
Gave up on Blue Ice, it's a wee bit too epileptic and I don't feel like doing another game with the walkthrough in my hand.
Started on GK3 and discovered the tower on the altar is an object; so I need to update my script and my website.

Re: What are you playing now?
I don't know about Level 7 (only on Level 3, due to the vacation) - but a nice trick I did would be to run, and lure them to where there was a gate I could close on them. So fight them, till I needed to rest/heal - and just close the gate, rest, heal, open the gate - resume the fight!Qbix wrote:Mine as well, I am at level 7.

Re: What are you playing now?
Being a big LOTR fan, I tried LOTR: War in the North. It was fun for a while, until I reached the Barrow-Downs... and while fighting the wights inside the barrows, I either died again and again and again, or the game crashed... and crashed again... and again... 5 friggin' times.
It's a fun game, but I wish it would stop CTDing. Does anyone have any ideas?
