What are you playing right now?

Path of Exile

I downloaded this online ARPG yesterday and I am level 17 right now already. This game is a lot of fun and in my opinion the real sequel to Diablo 2, although the story is not the same.

The customization system is really deep, you can choose from hundreds of passive skills as you level up and you can use active skills when you place a gem in your weapon/armor.

The art style really feels like it was from Diablo 1,2 unlike Diablo 3 where it is more cartoony in my opinion. The skill animations look great and the game itself is pretty challenging. I just finished Act 1 and the boss was quite tough, I at least had some help from another guy.

So if you are disappointed with Diablo 3 and are a fan of Diablo 2, I would suggest you to check it out. Most of the players I have met in game say the same things as I mentioned above.

The game is Free to Play and will stay that way. Developers also mentioned that the game will never be Pay2Win.

I forgot to mention that the game is in Open Beta right now, but there will be no more wipes and the game works flawlessly.

Here is the website: Path of Exile

And the trailer: Path of Exile Open Beta Trailer

I am so addicted to it right now! Finally a new game that runs like an old game.

Just played a round of DotA2 with some dude on my friends list who I could've sworn was bert. Bert, what's your Steam name? Even bigger question is who the hell this dude is...

About 11 hours into Morrowind. I was dying to play it and at first it was sublime, especially with all the Tamriel lore you're instantly in the middle of, but it's really rough. Mods can only take it so far. Travelling is tough. I do like all the political intrigue, something that was completely absent from Oblivion. And none of the dungeons are anywhere near as horrible as the Oblivion gates, so that's also a plus. But I won't lie, there's a lot of things I miss. I kinda think it's an FFVI situation, where if you played it first, your expectations for the rest are through the roof, but if you started with the later ones, it's that much harder to live without the polish and fluidity. Still, Oblivion built up slow until I couldn't pull myself away from it, I'm sure Morrowind will be the same.

Travelling is tough.

I used a travel map until I memorized everything. It made my life a million times easier. http://fessicsfavorites.files.wordpr...travel-map.jpg

Hiking it out to the Ashlander camps can still be a pain in the rear, but that's Morrowind for you!

Juggling FFX, Dark Souls, Okami (with le gf) and thinking of starting a new game of Bully. I seriously haven't touched that game since I first finished it back in 2006.

Damn thanks Pike!

I'm not talking about the text in general, more of the overabundance of it coming from issun.
I quite like the voice synths, but I don't know where that comment came from...

Finished New Game Plus on Batman: Arkham City and have done all the main campaign quests (all collectables was a bitch), can't be arsed with the challenges though so I'm done with that game. It feels good to say that considering how long I spent on it. x_x

Played the demo of The Cave with Danielle, and it was really fun so I can see us buying it before the month is through. For now, though, I've returned to Football Manager 2012 and carried on where I left off with F.C. United in the Premier League (having worked them all the way up from Northern Premier League, the seventh tier in the UK league system). The game year is now 2020 so I've done very well, and since returning to my game I've taken them from 17th (four games in) to 6th (something like six games to go), so I might get into the Europa League on my first run in the PL, which is immense. Especially when you consider I have a 12,000 seater stadium and am financially stable. xD Just been very good/lucky with my signings, really. Still, want to get my club into an even healthier position and grow the stadium over the years so fingers crossed it'll keep working out.

Good effort Bob, I had to give up my addiction to football manager games years ago.

I could literally spend an entire 24 hours on there without the need for food or sleep.

Ha! I know what you mean. It's also a good game to throw a weekend away on in that you can play it at your own pace. Sure, the weekend is gone, but you don't get really annoyed at how you really want to get to that next bit of the game but you have to go to work and blah blah blah. I hate leaving in the middle of a story, I guess. When I finally got back to playing VI/XII, I had to restart them because I didn't want to just pick up where I left off. With Football Manager 2012, I can leave it for a year, return and just carry on. I even remembered a lot of the players - although I did get a surprise as I'd completely forgotten about nicknaming my assistant manager 'Captain Planet'.

Mass Effect 3

Final Fantasy VI. I had never gotten past the three scenario's part (not far at all) so it's all pretty new to me and I am very much enjoying the game so far . Finally got my first espers and just met Setzer.
