What are you currently playing?

I get that. I was interested in getting all the Dream Daddy achievements but once I read that at least one of them is impossible to get, and how hard at least a couple of the mini-games are to master, I gave up. 

Playing shadow of the tomb raider. What can I say other than I love it? The history nerd in me is loving all the Mayan lore.

Shadow of The Tomb Raider. Had to. I love the new series so much. Sadly, I'm stuck in the tomb right after that second city (the one that wasn't flooded by tsunami) and solving it has to wait till tomorrow evening Gotta sleep and work.

I also preordered Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Can't wait for this one too.

I'm just waiting for work to end so I can spend all weekend playing it.

UGH FINE YOU MADE ME



But if I don't get any work done this weekend I'm holding you *entirely* accountable!

I tried playing the original Thief games, since the entire series was on sale. The 2014 version was actually quite neat - the atmosphere was on point (story was a letdown though). But nope. The first two games are a massive pain to control, I've missed the window to enjoy them. Then I've played an hour of the third one, and it just didn't grab me. Weirdly, every single non-hostile female NPC was super attracted to the protagonist...


Gothic 3
Finally finished replaying this. Took me 40 hours with a lot of cheats.

The story is meh, the characters are just normal, the combat is stiff, loot is randomised to extremes, and a lot of the missions are either "kill this" or "bring that," but it's been 12 years, and the game still looks really nice, which was enough for me, because I'm a sucker for exploration


And the soundtrack is pretty great too


Also Davrin's boobs - you can turn into animals, the Nord people tame wolves instead of hunting them, and there's a wolf named Greypelt that will lead you through the mountains for a piece of meat, and the guy, who tells you about it says that he did not train him and does not own him, and that he is his friend. Which was neat. But the rest of the game is like kill 5 X and bring their pelts...

Also, regarding female characters - the only named ones are exotic dancers, which is worse than in 2. There are "female slaves," and "female warriors," but none of them have anything to say. They blamed some technical issues with models and hair, but hey, didn't stop them from having those dancers.

With Risen and Elex being super bug ridden, and female protagonists being unimportant to them (add some homophobic and sexist jokes, like those in Risen 2), I'm pretty sure I will not be buying any more games from them. They had time to fix their issues, they're a lost cause.


There was a G3 DLC and Gothic 4 btw, but they were made by different developers. And they had some of the worst dialogue ever. Some thief asks you to tell him about every merchant you meet and he'll "do the rest" (???), and the previously chill protagonist goes "I am on a quest and shall not accept your task! In the coming order you thieves will be hung by your ears!" There are named female characters this time, but... Well, one asks you to kill her husband, because he doesn't want to give her money, and another one basically lies about about her husband being a spy, so you can kill him and she can continue sleeping with everyone in town. Sheesh.

I'm playing Civilization 6 and may be a bit in love with this guy named Gilgamesh..

Ah he is quite handsome, but I can't see any nips.  -blink blink-  

I hope everyone is having a lovely day!

Um, edit cause I forgot to mention what I'm playing lately. I am almost done with Megaman X6. I would have been done already but I just haven't had much play time lately. After that I'll probably play a bit more Mass Effect probably. I'm not sure though. It all feels like filler as Assassin's Creed Odysessy draws closer all the time.
