Science victory was the most common form of victory for me. Not really intentional, I'm just a slow mover when it comes to taking over the world... I tend to opt for rushing science and wonders early in the game while being relatively peaceful, then swamping the world with tanks the moment I unlock them (often well ahead of everyone else due to the science rush) and then start rolling them out... but the science rush and wonders leave me advancing so fast and then the wonders run out and all my places have built everything there is bar "MORE UNITS" and I start on the spaceship and... victory!

I've been playing Fable 3, it was the last thing I bought on steam before I went on holiday, it's alright I suppose. Passes the time effectively.

Juggling Ni No Kuni and Dark Souls, though I also want to collect all white sparkly things in Journey. Plus surf the sanddunes in that fantastic downhill level.

Pretty much this.

Only changes when the AI decides to frell with me (they get suicidal), and I wind up wiping them out just so they'll leave me alone.

In Master of Orion 2 I wind up eventually nearly annihilating every other civilization and blockading their sole remaining planet just so they won't wipe each other out. After all, I can't win a diplomatic victory with only two or three races alive, and I'm certainly not going to vote myself victor until I'm good and ready.



Oh, right, and I'm still playing Fire Emblem Awakening. Only one more Lunatic chapter before I open up DLC grinding.

Moving away from console games and into DnD if I didn't mention it already.

[Quindiana Jones]

That's essentially what I'm doing in Civ 2. The other civilisations are annoying me, so I'm going to take every city bar their capital and barricade them inside until I'm good and ready to finish the game.

in an hour or so i will start with Tomb raider

[Gamblet]

Continuing my playthrough of FFT, I am at the last battle of chapter 2.... It is tough, but I luckily recruited a dragon when leveling.

[the_best_noob]

Borderlands 2, ArmA 2/dayZ, dotA 2, Portal 2, TF2, Half-Life 2/HL2M.

All my games that I'm currently playing are 2.

[Slothy]

Been playing through the New Vegas DLC (finished Dead Money yesterday), played through HL2 and Episode 1 again, and Mystic Quest of course.

[Bolivar]

Just finished The Witcher, good game!

I'm contemplating buying Tomb Raider as my next purchase. What is it like? It looks a bit more like Uncharted these days.

[Xannidel]

I am currently playing the new Tomb Raider and also beta testing Neverwinter.

I think it's great so far. It's true, gameplay hardly resembles classic Tomb Raider, but it's not really like Uncharted in terms of gameplay either (parkour isn't really part of it, there's not a heavy focus on shooting, and none of the platforming is done for you like it is in Uncharted). It does have shootouts here and there and the occasional QTE, but the game is far more about finding stuff, hunting and surviving than it is shooting people, and when you do shoot people, it's presented as a method of survival, strictly self-defense, and is never glorified. In fact, there are moments when the game really feels like action/adventure meets survival horror.

If you like action/adventure games, or liked either of the aforementioned franchises, I highly recommend giving it a shot.
