Steam Calculator gives me 186 games for $2542.65 USD while my Steam client returns 198 games. I don't really want to track stuff manually so I'm very interested in Backloggery but registration are still closing and as two days ago, shouldn't come back for weeks. Seeing how everything else is slow, I'm afraid we will never see new registrations! Anyway, I only beat a small portion of my list. Some I will never play because they came with a pack of some such. Some I beat before I bought them again for nostalgia when they made their way on Steam. I've been playing Divinity II up until 2 weeks ago but I stumbled in a spot where it's pretty difficult with massive amount of enemies... I need to visit 3 or 4 areas like that and it killed my interest. I'm about to fire it up again hoping I won't get disgusted again. Bully : Scholarship Edition is next in line after Divinity II. I own a PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360. I've got a backlog there too. Nowhere near as bad... I'm just saying because I've been playing some Mortal Kombat 9 on the PS3 lately.

I just beat (well completed I think, I did all the sidequests in the expansion and all that I could in the base game, I gimped myself on some of them thus being broken) Divinity II : Dragon Knight Saga. Both games had the worst endings, I liked the game but those endings ruined any replay value to check on the rear end in a top hat options. I recommend it if you want a nice little RPG. I liked the freedom you don't usually have in newer RPG games.

Mr Right posted:I've dropped a few, at least you have now tried the game and can have some buyers remorse. Or get a controller and persevere since Bully is actually a pretty good game if you like sandbox like games with a difference. I have a controller and I liked GTA, Just Cause 2 and other sandbox games. Bully is just loving annoying with the clock ticking so fast, more often than not I can't do a mission while skipping class and get back to get busted and time warp to the class. I played for 6 hours and doing the main missions is way too annoying. I don't see a point of just exploring and do cool things in this game. At least it only cost 3$ or so back when I bought it.

Zedd posted:I really hope you give the game another chance, I do not know how you manage to spend 6h in the chapters before the town opens; but as soon as you unlock the town you cant be brought into class outisde of school grounds and you have plenty of time to do other stuff. What? I'm in Chapter 3. And I don't want to skip classes, but I want to do missions but the time ticks so fast I end up skipping class accidentally because the few minutes you spend on the mission means 5 hours in the game. Also, time goes by. I think I have a limited amount of days since Halloween and Christmas went by. But yeah I love sandbox games and I played a bunch of them. For some reason I can't stand Bully. I think it's the way I want to explore but also not miss classes... Anyway enough of this derail, I'm sorry guys. I need to pick a different game now.

Mr. Saturday posted:Alright. Been a while since I posted. I gave up on Condemned for some reason. I'll return to it one day, I just find myself getting less and less interested in beating hobos up. In the meanwhile, I've beaten Assassin's Creed 2, and bought Brotherhood during that deal the other day to get down on some multiplayer action, and to continue the story. About to try that out, but my main focus right now is Mirror's Edge. I also got Brink, but you can't really "beat" that per se, and also Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, which I'm playing through in co-op with someone, so my progress in that sort of depends on him being on and both of us feeling like playing. I sucked rear end at Mirror's Edge (also I decided not to use a gun once) and it only took 5-6 hours to beat the campaign. You should be able to go back to Assassin's Creed soon!

Zedd posted:Well I might have sold my steam account so that solved a lot of backlog problems from my side. Are you hurting that much for money? My contract just finished and I'm looking for a new job (interview tomorrow as a matter of fact). I still couldn't sell my Steam account. I'm sure I'd regret it later. I used the random steam game website and it gave me Racettear which I played a while. I did it again and it gave me Star Wars Jedi Academy. I remember playing Jedi Academy and some (or all) Jedi Knight II. I did a quick google to find the chronology of the games. I just did the first level of Dark Forces. Man I'm so nostalgic about the controls and graphics. Also needed colored cards for certain doors! Got the latest version of Dosbox and using some custom configs along with the hq4x scaler to smooth the graphics. From Snes emulation testing, I found that it's a good compromise between pixelated graphics and too blurry when you try to smooth it even more. Now, seeing if I can finish the first game!

Highly recommend to anybody who has that in their backlog) Google says it's very short with only 12 levels. I did the first two in 0.7 hour.

tokyosexwale posted:Nice. As a kid I bought that game when it came out, but could never beat it. As the first FPS I had ever played it pretty much kicked my rear end, but man did I love those FMV cutscenes. Kyle Katarn's hair Yeah I smiled when I saw it was live actors! Those were the good times. The game is not easy and I often get a bit lost at what to do. The map showing many levels at the same time doesn't help much. It's refreshing not to be on rails like most modern games. I'm sure it would blow kids heads off knowing they had to backtrack after 30 minutes in the same level to that door you couldn't open before which didn't tell you its color, name, etc... You get a key and you take a guess!

I just finished Star Wars - Jedi Knight : Mysteries of the Sith and will start Star Wars - Jedi Knight II : Outcast soon. I think I will indeed finish the whole serie. Only Outcast and Jedi Acedemy left. I played those two years ago, can't remember if I ever finished them. They're not the longest games but anything you can clear from the backlog can't be bad!

Star Wars - Jedi Knight II : Jedi Outcast is one of the best shooters I ever played. I get lost all the time, backtracking, old school levels. It's like I'm in a Star Wars movie the way the stormtroopers die and fall off ledges. I think I got this game back then and only played singleplayer or something and didn't get very far into the game (I remember the trial to get my lightsaber). I saved at the beginning of level 17. They're 24 of them total I think.

Purple D. Link posted:I wish the game could run well on modern systems. I really like it but bugs and the lack of music in the Steam version hampered it for me. I tried it again today on Windows 7 (the last time I played it was on a different PC with XP) and the colors were messed up. I wish there was a source port or something. What? It works flawlessly for me with http://lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=206018 since I have an ATI card. I don't have bugs beside a white screen when it loads, I press ESC and get to the main menu fine. I also hear music, the official Star Wars soundtrack no less. Edit : I'm on Windows 7 Pro 64 bits, Crossfire (2 x 4870), 6 gigs of RAM and Raid 0 for my system drive. All to get me troubles but none with this game after the fix (game just won't start otherwise). Hemish fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Jun 12, 2011 |

Purple D. Link posted:...Oh crap, I misread your post and thought you were talking about Dark Forces II. I still get the names mixed up. I had to use a third party file too. Someone wrote a new DirectX wrapper (http://www.jkhub.net/project/show.php?projid=47§ion=downloads) and I could enable the special video setting. I had crazy textures colors otherwise. As for the music, I didn't notice. I usually turn the music off in games. I kept it for Jedi Outcast when I forgot and noticed it was the original movie soundtrack.

Madcosby posted:Oh man, this thread... Originally inspiring, but I suppose I have a success story. I don't jump too much around. My problem is that I don't feel like playing most of the time when I get back from work (got laid off because of budget cut from the government so it's not a problem now)... If I don't touch a game for a few days I often forget about it and then when I need to come back, I'm lost so I lose interest a second time. So, one single player game at a time and a side dose of multi player Starcraft II, some leveling on the MMO a bit, etc... I'm currently also playing Rift. I'm level 21 and I still managed to clear Star Wars Dark Forces, Dark Forces II, Mysteries of the Sith, Jedi Outcast and now playing Jedi Academy. I'm so proud of myself. If I complete the series I think it'll be more games I usually complete a year. Divinity II is pretty fun. It took me 43 hours to play through the base game and expansion. I usually just beat and not complete games but in RPG I GOT to do all the side quests. So easily less than 40 hours if you don't do all of them. I played that just before the Jedi Knight series. I will focus on easy to clear games for now. Shooters, third person action game, adventure games, etc... I won't touch RPGs and games like Dawn of Discovery because I could clear so many games during that time. Blackloggery tells me 181 games that are unfinished. Gotta clear those babies before I get into another RPG (and good god I have a lot of them).

I'm going to resist! I still have like 180 games unplayed/unfinished, mostly on Steam. At that point, waiting for a GOTY might be better (and will let me clear some backlog). I started Alpha Protocol to go along Commandos : Behind Enemy Lines. I'm thinking doing all 3 games in a row will kill this real backlog action I started a bit more than a week ago

ManxomeBromide posted:Well, sort of. I'm about 30% of the way through Tomb Raider: Anniversary now because I'm pretending it's a 1996 game, and it's really kind of interesting how much differently Lara Croft controls from the Prince or Altaïr. She's clearly based on a gymnast instead of a parkour person, and she also feels a little less blatantly superhuman. She can still break a 15-foot fall with her fingertips, but it's not as effortless as when the Prince does it, and the fact that you have to finish more exertion-heavy moves with a balance-correct input is a nice touch. It's also kind of nice to be able to turn while jumping, thus allowing Lara to grab ledges she's jumping past. The Prince never seems to have learned that trick. I guess wallrunning spoils you. I don't remember if they retrofitted her flavor moves from the other game into the remake. You can flip, carthweel and do stuff like gymnasts do on those big blue mats. You can link some into attacks or dodges.

I'm a dumb motherfucker. Bob Came In Pieces and Braid are kicking my rear end. I'm so dumb I can't figure out how to do most of the puzzles. I was doing somewhat okay until I reached World 4 I think. Where time is frozen unless you move yourself. Monsters always time themselves to be on top of the ladder when I need to go up... I somehow started on World 3 in the little house.. can't find the previous worlds? I guess I'm functionally retarded and I didn't know it.

^^^^^^ I got a new job on June 23rd after losing the old one to cutbacks at the end of May. I treated myself to 2 x 2tb hard drive on sale on ncix.ca (They had some nice deals for Canada day) and will treat myself to a few games I will probably never play! I was in the same boat as you last year, though. No work for the summer so I got laid off but I knew I'd come back after a bit more than 2 months. I ended up spending 100$ on the summer sale  I have no self control.Vintersorg posted:I snapped today -- ID super pack and both BioShocks, these deals are too good!!

Vintersorg posted:$30 is worth it just for the Doom 3 and the expansion pack alone I think. So much gaming nostalgia in that drat thing. I feel old. Doom 3 is nowhere near old enough to enter the nostalgia category! I remember playing Wolfenstein 3D and how it blew my mind. Then Doom came along... Having to go to friends' house to play it because I only had a 8086 computer with a yellow monochrome monitor!

Haha we're doomed!  If someone had told me that once I'd be an adult, I would BUY more games than I can play... I still remember when we got the 386 with a color monitor and 2 megs of RAM. Finding someone with a real copy of a game so you could copy it yourself. I think when we upgraded that 386 for Internet I was finally able to play Adventures of Willy Beamish on there... My dad made a copy from 3.5" floppies on 5.25" ones. I think we ended up with 26 disks. Now we need a support thread to get us to play games. Can you imagine how many games we could clear if we were kids? Even with our low income we could afford a good bunch of games during those sales. Now I get home and I'm often not in the mood to play, a bit too tired. I feel my 30 sometimes!
