Anyone not playing StarCraft II? Anyone…?
I’m not much of an RTS gamer – I prefer my strategy to come in turn-based form – so I’ll be playing the singleplayer campaign more out of curiosity than anything else.
Mostly though I’ll be playing Dragon Quest IX and try to make some headway into the latest 100-hour Square Enix RPG.
How about you?
I wont be playing Starcraft 2 🙁 Don’t have it yet. Instead I might indulge in a bit of Blur racing and some shmups on my big ass tv!
Thanks to a tip from Ryan Thomas (http://www.kotaku.com.au/2010/07/talk-amongst-yourselves-79/comment-page-2/#comment-151076) my wife will be playing the sims 2!!
I’ll be getting through the Assassin’s Creed 2 downloadable packs, finally picked them up when they went deal of the week.
Besides that: Tiger Woods 11, maybe Transformers WFC, and as always, I’ll just get sidetracked and end up playing Rock Band 2 for the rest of the day.
It’s been two years since I last played Ocarina of Time so I might have to replay it again before the 3DS version comes out.
Yakuza 3. Bought it on impulse and quite enjoying it. Not enough save points, though.
Also some Army of Two and I might start Half Life 2 for the first time.
You know you can save at your hideouts and Telephone Booths, right? So long as you’re wandering around the city/wherever, you can just pop in and save whenever you want.
But I finished Yakuza 3 2 days ago, and now I don’t know what to play. =(
I’m not either, since my computer can only run games from about 10 years ago 😛
That, and I’m yet to pay more than $40 for a game this year, so I’d need to wait a while before SCII fell into my price bracket so I can keep the record going.
Probably just playing the “clean your room” game this weekend, although I did get a start on Mega Man Zero Collection last night.
I got some extra commission pay from work this week, so I bought CoD: World at War, Super Street Fighter IV, StarCraft 2, The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition and Final Fantasy XIII, so I’ll be playing those, AND EarthWorm Jim HD on PSN…
Groovy!
Just Cause 2
I got all the DLC for like 4 bucks on Steam yesterday. Really good game that you can loose yourself in for a weekend. I beleive the game is only 25 bucks too for the weekend, so if you have a half decent PC, grab it. You could do a lot worse for $25. The Tuk Tuk thing goes off too.
You must! I finished the game (storywise) last night, it’s brilliant.
But as for this weekend, my mate and I are trying to do Horde mode in Gears 2 on Insane. We’re up to wave 9. Or 8. All I know is that progress is very slow.
Since I’m trying to fininsh my wii backlog, I’ll be playing sonic and the secret rings and starting final fantasy cc crystal bearers
Starcraft II, a little bit of Gears of War 2 and maybe some Modern Warfare 2 and/or Left 4 Dead 2 if we bother setting up the local network at my friends tonight. Heh, all sequels. If only I could throw some Dead Rising 2 on that pile.
No SC2 for me. If anyone saw my rts skills they’d know why 😛
I’ll be continuing the metroid prime trilogy in preparation for other m, and I’ve been having a lot of fun playing brawl lately so probably more of that. I wish it were more active online though 🙁
I’m not playing StarCraft 2. I’m a big StarCraft fan and I’ve had the game since release but I just haven’t played it yet ;D
I think I’ll play it during my mid-semester break. In the mean time there is chemistry to be done. I finally get what I’ve been doing wrong! I forgot to subtract for pKb values!
Wait, Chemistry isn’t a video game, haha. I think I’ll be playing some Little King’s Story =)
Maybe some Alien Swarm too…
Nope, no Starcraft 2 for me either… I’m curious about it of course, but I’m not going to put down $90 for a game that will probably run like a slide show on my computer.
Interestingly though, ever since that ‘tell us dammit’ asking what our most played games are, I’ve been playing Oblivion obsessively. I frigging love that game, it just never gets old… I should probably play some Demon’s Souls however, and get onto GoW 3… Oh, and I just picked up Mirror’s Edge at Game for $12 new =D
StarCraft 2 is selling for $70 at JB Hi-Fi =3
Also, my ATI Radeon 9600 128 MB can run it! You have no excuses!(At very low settings, of course)
Blizzard wants to make sure as many people can play it as possible, of course.
Are you kidding? My old computer is more powerful than that, haha… I might look into it now. I probably shouldn’t have assumed that the minimum specs were going to be ridiculous… :s
Thanks dude 🙂
Just grabbed Just Cause 2 off Steam for $25 – looking forward to giving that a whirl.
Terrible, terrible game. Perfect example of how NOT to develop an open world game.
nothing but tetris on my phone… i have to ban myself from my PSP and PS3 because I need to study for the next 2 weeks 🙁
I need a better pc for sc2 😛
At the moment I’m playing Dragon Quest IX. Close to 100hrs!!! lol
Not me. Im not into rts really. Id play it out of curiosity too however. Maybe some limbo or sonic and knuckles on xbla. Not much time for serious gaming sessions sadly. Business i work at changed hands and ive been doing a lot of long long shifts.
I wish I could play DQ IX 🙁
I’ll be collecting more Green Stars in SMG 2.
And I also have a craving to finish Punch-Out!! Wii again for some reason…
Because it allows you to mete out your vengeance in a more controlled, prolonged fashion at a time of your choosing?
I thought so, you sick, twisted man…
Also, I’ve never played Deus Ex. Worth getting?
Wouldn’t be playing starcraft any weekend, can’t stand it.
I’m thinking of starting a few of the games I’ve bought from GOG in the last few months and never installed. Thinking I-War, Obscure or Republic: The Revolution
SC2.
Playing it on hard, and very, very slowly. Need to make it last until the next expansion. Might try setting up a match with a mate from interstate later on 🙂
Gonna try for all the achievements on Limbo… but nothing else for me, cause I’ve gotta get some study done. 🙁
As for SC2, not interested in RTSes.
3D Dot Game Heroes…
It’s giving me flashbacks to when I was a young lad, and times were simple… 🙂
Playing more of Monster Hunter Tri and Mass Effect 2.
I played Portal for the first time this week, and enjoyed it so much, i think ill play it again this weekend!
There’s no way I’m not playin SCII. Uni eats up my weekdays so now is the only time I can play it without interruption. As a side though, decided to give ARMA II a go.
No Starcraft here either.
Copious amounts of Blood Bowl in my Private League of oldschool Games Workshop nerdlings and maybe a little more on my Snake Eater replay. Then I can get around to Peace Walker.
After watching the Japanese movie Midnight Wangan (which is about street racing) I dug up good ol’ “Import Tuner Challenge” (the awful Ubisoft name for the equally awfully-named Tokyo Xtreme Racer series) and have been lapping Tokyo highways. I can never get enough of it…
I’ll add that I’ve kind of gotten over sitting at a PC to play games. I sit in front of one to study/program all week, and I really can’t be bothered doing it for gaming, too. It’s so much easier to just sit and relax on the couch, slap a game in and know it’s going to work. Every second PC game seems to have some problem or another, I’m just so over the experience…
Final Fantasy IX and Resident Evil 3… maybe some Canis Cannem Edit as well.
Finished most of my new games so time for a little retro charm id say.
so i’ve played a bit of crackdown 2 co-op and hydro thunder and Aion (FREE DOUBLE XP WEEKEND AND FREE REACTIVATIONS TILL MONDAY PPL!)
i also bought starcraft 2, picking it up tonight… 😀
Borderlands, Natural Selection 2 Alpha, Bad Company 2, Connect 4, Cogs, Team Fortress 2, Freedom Force, Spin the bottle and Find My Keys Pants & Wallet
Not playing SC2. I’m not much good at RTS so I don’t bother. I might pick it up once the buzz dies down (and the price) but I still wont play MP.
ill be playing
Transformers WFC new DLC
and Battlefield BC 2
and some Halo Wars on the side
I’m actually getting back into trials hd. Also got back into the top 400 globally so pretty happy with that.
I think uni makes me go back. I have a assignment due in less than three weeks and it around this time I go back to trials.
I have all zero fault runs on tracks. Platinum all except inferno and missed the marathon post by 4 seconds.
Also RDR multiple on both consoles.
And def no sc2. I just rebuilt my pc and it still can’t play games. I am a tight arse.
I’ve been playing that other Craft game.
Not that one either, the OTHER OTHER Craft game.
MINECRAFT.
More Resonance of Fate for me. Trying to knock it over so I can on with the growing mountain of games waiting for me. 65 hours so far and only a couple of chapters to go.
I pretty much had my fill of RTS games after Starcraft 1. I have neither the interest or PC power to consider buying SC2.
My sister and I just blitzed through all our StarCraft 2 placement matches and now we’re in Gold. Her boyfriend accidentally started then cancelled a placement match so that counted as one loss. Ah well. I didn’t think we were good enough to get 5-0 anyway xD
I probably won’t post my account details on the matchmaking page, since…it’s not actually my account. =P
What little weekend I had…
(Shift worker. Woe is me getting up at 0430 on a Sunday. Counting blessings for overtime.)
Warhammer 40k! The real version. Not the (admitedly awesome) Dawn of War nonsense.
…And Starcraft 2 later tonight. >.>
Been playing StarCraft II and Alan Wake. SCII is a bucket of fun, and the mission design is exceptional. Alan Wake is not that great. Awfully repetitive and Wake himself is a pretty weak character. I like the narration during the action, but the combat is by the numbers.
To all those not playing SCII due to a lack of RTS skills, know that I too am a strategic n00b. With that said however, this game should not be missed!
Been playing Sin & Punishment 2, Morrowind, Red Steel 2, Doom 3, Tales of Monkey Island all on and off.
I won’t be playing anything – traveled to Brisbane for the Hell Yeah concert Saturday night, and am still broken from it as I type 😀
However, I have started replaying Sacred 2 in this last week or so, and will probably find some time later on to get into it!
