Metro 2033 is buggy as hell, although I must admit it has a certain slavic charm - like guys in the bar drinking vodka. It just feels like the game is actually set in eastern europe, which is very refreshing. A real pity I don't know jack shit in Russian, since that's the games language.

As for the games that I have and haven't finished the list is quite short:

- Codename Panzers: Phase One - I won't get back to it now tho, too sucky for my taste
- Witcher - my last computer took loading times to a new alltime high so I was waiting for a good machine
- Armed Assault - bugs scared me off
- Armed Assault 2 - same here... and some weird pacing issues. But I will probably get back to it
- Supreme Commander - since I had humongous amount of fun playing skirmishes on 60km maps my machine told me to bugger off. Will reinstall it soon when Im done with Saboteur.
- Car Industries - picked it up from a bargain bin and it won't run.
- Metro 2033 - Im waiting for some patches to fix some bloody clipping issues. I uninstalled the game during the metro train wreckage when I was stuck in the wagon which was falling from a destroyed bridge.
- GTA IV - Im still playing it, but comparing to San Andreas or Vice City this has been a big disappointment. Hopefully LatD and BoGT will be better.

Thats the ones from the top of my head.

You know you can change the voice over language, right? The console version is only english/russian, but PC multi5 might have more. I haven't noticed any bugs or clipping problems with the 360 version.

I can once more remove Perfect Dark from my 'backlog'. Stupid XBLA.

Have started, but yet to finish:

-C&C4 Tiberium Twilight
-Company of Heroes (just bought it, yes yes I know)
-C&C3 Kane's Wrath campaign (enjoyed the global domination mode lots though :) )
-Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising

Note: not in any particular order.

Mostly slacking due to a combination of WoW, University work, and my desire to mod over simply playing the games. I'll finish them all eventually though.

I have two incomplete play-throughs of XCOM: UFO Defense to finish, and have abandoned my KOTOR 2 game for the time being. Still trying to make XCOM Apocalypse work.

Wow, I think Chrono Trigger, Hardwar, Escape Velocity Nova, Freelancer, KOTOR, and Starfox64 are the only games I've ever actually finished. I need to actually finish a Zelda or Final Fantasy game someday.
Given the respective degrees of vulnerability to mental and physical force, annoying the powers of chaos to the point where they try openly to kill them all rather than subvert them is probably a sound survival strategy under the circumstances. -Eleventh Century Remnant

Whoa, been a while since I posted here...

Anyway:

Playing now:

Final Fantasy XIII (Almost finished with story, will move on to extras.)
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
Monster Hunter Freed... 170+ hours and no where close to finishing up with it. Sure I'm at the hardest stuff, but I've probably only actually completed 30-40% of the quests, and then there's tons of top tier stuff to get... It helps that I convinced my friends to get the stuff for Xlink Kai - we got that working and playing online with them is really the only way I play anymore (and accounts for 90% of my play time on it.)

Get back to:

Borderlands DLC
Assassin's Creed 2 extras and DLC
Mass Effect 2 additional play throughs - working on Insanity with Infiltrator (my main,) and working on run through with a Sentinel. Oh and DLC.

Still to do:

Gears of War 2
Burnout Paradise


Honestly, I don't know how some of you can have gaming back logs so large... :shock: All my gaming time is sucked up by FFXIII and MHFU - and usually I only play one on any given day (if at all.)

I wound up selling FF13 without finishing it . . . I think that's the first FF game I've ever actually gotten rid of. The game design and obscene difficulty spike pissed me off too much.

Really? I quite enjoy the gameplay of 13.


And I honestly was expecting a much higher spike in difficulty than what everyone was talking about.

Only one fight ever took me more than 2-3 tries.

The gameplay was fine if a bit typical for Square. But the level design was so on-rails I found myself bored with it.

Too many to list really. These are the highlights:
  • Mass Effect (before I go out and by ME2)
  • Crysis (on sale on Steam)
  • FarCry 2 (again, on sale on Steam)
  • Fallout 3 (I'm only a few hours in)
