 Click here for the full 512x726 image. This is my current backlog and I am actually playing through it. Or at least, completed six games off it since the start of the year (Darksiders, Singularity, Mafia, Machinarium, Bob Came In Pieces and Dragon Age: Origins).

I'm probably going to play a shorter game (either Worms Reloaded, Monkey Island 2 or Lugaru HD) next as a break, then play through Dragon Age: Awakening while DAO is fresh in my memory. Any other short game recommendations from my backlog?

There we go, completed the Worms:Reloaded campaign (or at least, the main 30 missions - the five extra ones are absolute bullshit). Only 77 games to go!

Just started playing through the base Dawn of War II campaign, it's more fun than I remember it being. Also, yet another game with Steve Blum.

Zedd posted:Tip: Soldier is fun in the second game but in the first the class really suffers from its uhm...RPG-statsbased gunplay so to speak. I would think that Soldier suffers more because 90% of the enemies are bulletsponges that you just have to hold the trigger down for.

Finished Dawn of War 2's base campaign, started on Chaos Rising - the resource pack changes are kinda annoying, and I really wish it would give me some non-corrupting Terminator Armour. Also Cyrus' AI really loves running right into a big horde and then dying a whole bunch.

I finished The Ball (Pretty fun and unique with some dubious design choices, but it's worth a play) and Bulletstorm (Solid shooter, the dialog is amusing if a bit immature), still working through DoW2: Chaos Rising, but the new Tactics Ogre game has been a big distraction, and I'm taking a short break to play Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, which has been fun so far. Oh, and my backlog keeps growing.

Finally finished R.U.S.E.'s campaign after playing it on and off for months since the treasure hunt last year - pretty fun, though the plot sorta just stops being plausible when you invade soviet-held Germany as the french army. And have battle ready nuclear artillery in 1945. Started playing Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 - it's fun, but it's also really clunky in some ways and it's another lazy port with forced toggle crouch. gently caress toggle crouch.

Guillermus posted:Can you please explain your experiences with Homefront please? I have some thoughts from the 20 minutes or so I've messed with so far: -Toggle loving crouch. -You can't change graphics settings without quitting the level, now this wouldn't be bad, except: -Checkpoints don't persist beyond quitting the level and... -The first level starts with a really long, UNSKIPPABLE cutscene. Needless to say, this is making finetuning it so it doesn't lag a huge chore. EDIT: They do persist but you still have to sit through the stupid long video first. Also, Boone is basically Roger Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon so far (end of Chapter 2) - complete with the "I'm getting too old for this poo poo." line.

RagnarokAngel posted:Season 1 was telltale's first effort and compared to what they've done more recently it's definitely amateur hour. Season 1 can be skipped honestly because season 2 is where it at least get's tolerable, and Season 3 is an even better upgrade from there. It's worth noting that they changed the control system between Season 2 and Season 3, and the Season 3 one is bloody awful. Also, finished HOMEFRONT, it's like, 4~hrs long. Reasonably fun in a "dumb linear FPS campaign" kinda way, though.

And there's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 completed, reasonably fun though it has some glaring flaws (like it's love of placing enemies right round a corner with a shotgun, who have superhuman reflexes and one shot you before you react, or toggle crouch). Current Backlog - probably going to knock off Monkey Island 2 next. EDIT: Decided to go with Torchlight, onward Del the Alchemist and his Dog, Rodney.

And there's Torchlight down. Next game unknown, possibly the rest of Metro 2033 or Painkiller.

finally beat VVVVVV! Now to find those last three trinkets and maybe play some time trials and intermissions.

I'd say Singularity because it's basically BioShock but with actual good shooter mechanics and a different plotline. It's also not hugely long.

^^^^^ You can finish Flight Control HD and PB Winterbottom in a few hours each. Also, Geometry Wars has no end to my knowledge. -- Personally, I've been playing through the F.E.A.R. series, already completed F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin and F.E.A.R. 2: Reborn, and am now onto F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point. Plus I beat the single player of Portal 2, obviously.

http://i.imgur.com/DhD2T.png I am at a loss as to what to play next, beyond the fact that I am too bored of F.E.A.R. to play Perseus Mandate at the moment and that I need to play The Witcher before the sequel comes out. Suggestions for a short game to play through as a break before tackling the Witcher?

SmokinDan posted:Sam & Max Season 3 is awesome and each episode is only a few hours long. I'm guessing you've played Season 2? I tried the first episode of S3 and stopped because they changed the controls to something that's much worse - is there any way to fix it and make it the same as Season 2's?

Thewittyname posted:Jolly Rover is a really fun point-and-click adventure game that will take you four hours, tops. The Shadowgrounds games are also pretty short, but I think they're awful (poor controls and repetitive gameplay.) Tried Shadowgrounds, needs some tinkering to run at the correct resolution, so I skipped to Shadowgrounds: Survivor. It was pretty fun.

Does anyone know any way of either cheesing or cheating past the final boss in Bit.Trip Beat? It's bloody hard, plus the paddle glitches out half the time.

KFCB posted:I do it by genre association but if I have 4 or more titles of a series, I give them their own specific grouping. I do something similar, though I go by developer for certain ones (iD, Valve) and any games that might be associated with their franchise (eg, Half-Life: Blue Shift). Tech Demos and Mac versions go in games, at the bottom, while anything I'm currently playing or play regularly goes in favourites. http://i.imgur.com/TsTfJ.png

Hemish posted:Man this is a bit sad. I won't have one single completed game I think. I don't care at all for achievements or getting 100% in a game like GTA or Batman : Arkham Asylum. My completed ones basically consist of adventure games that once you've beaten them, you're pretty much done.

RightClickSaveAs posted:Caved in today and bought Hector: Episode 1 from the Telltale online store. It was $2.50 because they're having a 75% off sale, that's basically free! Hector is only about two hours long, so it won't take much to complete. It's decent, though.

I've been playing through Red Faction: Guerilla currently, and like I remember from the 360 version, it's fun, but they either need to scale up how much salvage you get as rewards or half how much everything costs, because the grind is tedious at times.

tokyosexwale posted:Yeah, this tends to be my problem as well. As long as I go interrupted on a game and play it at least a little bit every day, I'm fine. As soon as I forget about it or something comes up so that I can't play continously, it is not good news for that game. See the case for: The Witcher, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, everything.... Don't worry, you have to go back to the swamp in Act III. Also, I finished Red Faction: Guerilla and am now playing through Red Faction: Armageddon. It's not much like RF:G, but it is fun, and it has some neat weapons (though bar the Magnet Gun, which is hilariously awesome, most of the new ones are kinda bad).

Scalding Coffee posted:I should be done with STALKER SoC tomorrow, with my day off. I did all of Brain Scorcher and it was the best challenge I had in a long time. Finally, an area that might as well constantly fill you with radiation and the endless Monolith squads finally drained me of most of my 100+ bandages and a handful of kits. I hope the Pripyat section also forces me to constantly use up items. It will be tough since I somehow lost my Exosuit in a glitch and I can't select my grenades. The CNPP is a big drain on resources, and even with my modded carry capacity and three different guns (with different ammo types), I was even running low on ammo, never mind restoratives.

I managed to play through Quantum of Solace and Kane & Lynch this week, along with a few more matches of MtG2012. QoS was pretty fun, K&L less so, and it was buggy to boot.

Beaten Garshasp (quite fun, considering I rarely play God of War type games, but the camera is evil), Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood (decent enough, and it was short enough to not overstay it's welcome) and Nation Red (campaign sucks, considering it's the same mission 17 times with only one different one, especially the maps where zombies come from all directions). Some progress on the backlog, at least (though I also added DiRT3 and Crayon Physics Deluxe).
