WRUP: What we are (and aren't) playing edition

Funny enough, I tried to play EQ2 again this week, and found that for all the "WoW"izing it has done, it has still failed to take the most fun aspect of WoW.

The feel of Combat. I truly feel like I'm taking far too long in fights in EQ2, hitting every one of my 20 buttons just to win one fight. I prefer WoW style, 2 or 3 buttons and boom its dead. Provided I chose the right target and didn't get crushed by 5 other adds. Anyway, I digress.

So, I decided to start playing AoC again. I'm really enjoying it right now, the game really is fun in many aspects. But like you guys showed above, I'm salivating over these pics of STO. Wishing it was 2010 already so I can be swept up by 3 major titles. STO, FFXIV, and STOR. Sleeper hit I predict will be Heroes of Telara, hopefully that hits next year as well. Of course, then I'll be swamped with too many mmo's to play(provided they live up to their hype, and we know how that goes lately) and won't have enough time to enjoy them.

Guess that's what the next 5 years will be for. Happy Halloween!

More Borderlands, Demon's Souls, and Uncharted 2 for me.... for now.

Dragon Age is almost here and all that stuff is getting pushed aside!

L4D 2 demo, Assiagans Creed (on computer, bad graphics engine port) are my two games of choice right now. I tried CO and FE this week and both seem dull to me. FE is way to buggy and just feels sloppy and looks like a 3D flash game, plays like it to.

CO is just way to stylized for my tastes, and it is a lot of the same, which really may be why I do not like MMOs anymore. WoW after BC ruined by fun, I was a raider and loved the gear/challenge. Now the game is just lolface easy (well way more so then it once was) which is disappointing.

All hopped up on antibiotics and getting over the plague, so I'll be grinding mobs to level my immune system. Seems like I'll also be spending the entire weekend patching CO, carebearing it up in Eve, and probably also having my tender n00b buns handed to be on a silver platter in League of Legends.

Torchlight calls, but my sense of financial responsibility told it to call back sometime next week.

Aion for me; grinding, crafting, trying not to crash when there are more than 12 players around me.

Torchlight is a great game. Having a lot of fun with it! Really glad it was only 20 bucks, made it an easy decision to try... and I wasn't disappointed.

After the 'srsbzns' of Aion, I'm having an absolute ball playing Torchlight, Borderlands, and WoW.

This weekend is *fun* gaming weekend for me, and none of those three are disappointing in that regard.

Torchlight is exceptional, and I would've happily paid more for the experience - gg Runic Games. (Wish there was a coop option but ah well..)
Borderlands on the PC is an awfully sloppy console port, but once you fiddle around with the vsync, FOV, and other options in the ini's, it's a real blast as well.
