OMRPG Serenia Fantasy

Gameplay: it's an RPG, repetitive. As an online game, it doesn't leave itself much room to experiment with mini-games and tweaks in the mechanics. I enjoy item hunting, but that is also repetitive.
Mechanics: point-and-click... no further interaction. I don't know how many ORPGs have an auto system, but you can setup your character to automatically attack certain creatures (usually this includes Elites but you can disable that... unfortunately, if you're hunting Elites and there are normal monsters near, there's no way to tell your character to distinguish between the two), usually there are links in the quests that you receive which by clicking on them cause your character to not only attack automatically but travel over long distances to the location where the monster can be found. Certain skills in your arsenal are usually used automatically too, but I have yet to understand how that system works.
Events: I'm not yet at a high enough level for "true events" but I have engaged in a side adventure called Instance multiple times. Since I have no allies yet, I use an auto-party to survive the aggressive mass armies and the LV60 boss at the end.
Quests: Pretty much every quest leads to a new one. Then there are "Daily Quests", one list requiring you to speak to the Quest Agent, and another list which exists on your daily reminder board.
Avatar: Costumes can be found rarely (I joined because I heard of a Cloud costume), and you can choose whether to show you're wearing it. There's apparently a costume that allows you to appear Naked as I've seen at least twelve people or maybe it was the same two people repeatedly. At level 20, (after approaching a Crusader Marshal in the Imperial City about Instance) you can obtain a mount which is also an optional display. Early on, you obtain the ability to take on Spirit forms of various monsters by hatching Spirit Eggs (usually these hatches are unsuccessful but you get two free ones to start). You have no access to your regular arsenal of skills while in these forms, so sometimes, it's just a costume, but you have access to the monster's skills so you can still attack sometimes.
Obtaining Items: I've mentioned the hunting/gathering, but many items you obtain through quests along with EXP, Gold, or Talent points. There's a crafting system also (I've always enjoyed making my own stuff like in Star Ocean, Castlevania, Rogue Galaxy, etc) not only for making new items but for upgrading the original version.

Decided to do a complete playthrough of the first Final Fantasy (NES version). I haven't played the game in over 20 years, so it's pretty fun trying to remember all of the stuff in the game, and there's quite a bit of nostalgia too. I'm also quickly remembering how much grinding there is in the early parts of the game.

Been playing quite a bit of Endless Space as well. It first caught my eye when it went up on Steam. I think it's the first game to pretty much get set up for what amounts to Alpha Funding that has appeared on the service (correct me if I'm wrong). It's probably my favorite 4X game since Master of Orion 2 (sorry, Galactic Civilization 2, can we still be friends?). Liking the Pilgrims a lot as a science-based race, and want to fiddle around a bit more with the Sowers and Ameabas at some point.

Other than that, I've had random compulsions to play classic Ridge Racer games (mostly R4 and Rage). While I'm not a fan of recent games in the series, I always love coming back to earlier installments now and then.

i started Red Dead Redemtoin, and i love everything about it
and for the first time i say: the horses look great!!
you can really see that they put an efford in it becaus they look beautifull and theire movements are all acurate!

the only problem that i have is that im getting quite attached to my horse.
even though i do want to break some wild horses (im afraid ill loose my horse if i break a new one)

Started Command & Conquer 3 in honor of the 75% off sale of all C&C titles on Steam right now. I really wanted this game when I got my last laptop, but the specs were just below required. I was really excited to download it. I only played the first GDI mission and I think they really nailed the aesthetics with the story and cutscenes hard. Not so sure about the gameplay. It just seems like more Tiberian Sun, but I'll take more Tiberian Sun anyday over the horrible things I heard they did in C&C4 or the weird things they did in RA3.

Mount & Blade: Warband. Addictive as smurf. I've spent so long trying to impress this dude so he will let me marry his daughter. What a jackass.

[qwhiboxs]

I was playing Forsaken World ,its about vampire Pokemon? No! It is pocamon, a browser games mmo that is also available on Facebook. Just like bigpoint's Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms, you are role playing many characters in baby-world.

I mostly just built up a massive army to try taking out traveling armies while I was playing that.

Mega Man Powered Up was fun but going through the same areas over and over gets repetitive. I then tried Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles which is way old school, maybe too much for my tastes, but the graphics are stunning.

I am now diving into Persona P3P and it's a...weird game. When WK said in another thread that it's half high school dating sim, half dungeon crawler, I thought he was exaggerating...but he's not at all. It took a bit to get into but so far I'm hooked. Dungeon crawlers usually bore me after a while though so we'll see.

[Wolf Kanno]

Some advice on the dungeon crawler aspect of P3. If you hit the square button while exploring the dungeon, you can change what your party does, like making them split up and explore the dungeon for you so you get the loot and find the exit without worrying too much about fighting. You can also have them prioritize fighting without you, so they can level without you. I find this makes exploring the dungeons much less repetitive and quicker. You can also change the music with the square button as well so you don't have to hear the same music over and over.

I just can't put down Dark Souls, but sometimes I make a little progress in the original Deus Ex.

This.

Started inFamous, but I picked up May Payne 3 and haven't been able to put it down. I also what to play Journey. That looks fantastic.

[Flying Arrow]

I picked up Crysis 2 off of the recent PSN sale, been playing it a bit here and there. Not really digging it for whatever reason.

[Pike]

I have been alternating pretty steadily between Pokemon FireRed, Crusader Kings 2, and Endless Space. The first of those games really needs no introduction (I just wanted to play it again because I haven't in a while). CK2 is a grand strategy game from back in February that I didn't play for a couple of months but am getting back into again, and Endless Space is a pretty new (and very fun) 4X which I've been hawking in a couple of other threads.

[Sephex]

I put the Penny Arcade games on hold for now since I am in the middle of a FFV run, and I am enjoying that more. For the record I am in the middle of episode 2 in the Penny Arcade series.
