I'm way late to the party, but I'm working through Batman: Arkham City. Sitting at about 40% now and enjoying it so much I'll probably go for 100%. Pretty much the same game as Arkham Asylum with a wider scope and new content - which is exactly what I wanted after Asylum.
But I was disappointed to hear that Origins is kind of crappy, as I was planning to move onto that in a month or two. Anyone else here play Origins and feel the same way?
Personally I liked Origins more than Arkham City. I've never understood the hate Origins got, to each their own I guess.Quote:

And after 75 hours I have finally finished Divinity: Original Sin
9.5/10
+Respects your intelligence
+Fun dialog
+Story is engaging if you don't mind reading
-Ability to get stuck in really tough spots accidentally
I really liked this game, although 75 hours is a bit much but it is a testament to the game that I finished it. I still had about 8 quests left that I didn't do either, this is one long game. I don't really have much bad to say about it really...was pretty much awesome.

Also just started playing SCP Containment Breach which is free http://www.scpcbgame.com/ which seems pretty atmospheric...but yeah only just started this.
I think that game is still missing an ending, so be aware it may actually be impossible to beat. :)Quote:

Mark of the Ninja is a great game....such a solid piece of story telling with some great game mechanics. The special edition version looks to expand on an alreadyawesome game.
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood
9.0/10
+Fun as all hell
+Easy to play, everything is intuitive
+Perfect length
-sketchy performance at times
So, I got this game "free" with my Xbox sub and I decided to try it lastnight. Today and two long playsessions later I finished it, and it was wonderful. This game reminded me of the fact that games can just be fun. It felt like a Nintendo game honestly, in the best possible way. Highly recommended for anyone who just wants to have fun with a game.
Finished Suikoden. Pretty good game with some rough edges (indicative of the time period) but inventory management was the only one that wasn't smoothed out by frameskip and save states on an emulator.
The obvious next choice is importing my data to Suikoden II though I may wait a little while and get some more time in on Persona 2: Innocent Sin first.
Finished Arkham City and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll probably grab Origins sometime next month if I can find a decent sale.
Now playing GTA 5 story mode & about to jump online with friends. Oh man, is this game a trip... bought it mainly for multi with friends, but the single player campaign is crazy fun.
I don't finish many single player games these days. However I did finish GTAV. And it was awesome. The whole campaign was fun as hell, 100% opposite from GTA !V.Quote:

Each target (ranging from maids, gardeners, chefs, family members, teachers etc) represents a mission and they are very very short. Hitman this aint, it is incredibly linear and there is only one way to kill the target. The ending is one of the most anticlimactic endings ever and it was frustrating that you couldn't off the dumbass annoying detective. 3/10.
Anyone else playing GTA 5 Online? We have a good group of friends that play, but all have time constraints, and it's tough to get 4-5 of us on at a time reliably. Anyone on here that wants to run with us is welcome, just let me know! We use the in-game voice comm, set to friends + crew.
