Forgot to mention I picked Disciples 3 up on sale so I'll be downloading that next.  Plus I got some Mass Effect 2 DLC but I'm not sure how much of the game I want to play again to go in on it.  I have three characters and I don't even remember why   since I only finished with one of em.

I'm waiting for some Dragon Age 2 DLC to play more of that.

GFFA has more in common with UEaW than PR, but I envisioned it to be a poor man's PR in the sense that it adds more to the GCW era without being so demanding. I will PM you if you want more info, no need to clutter this thread unless others don't mind.

il2: cliffs of dover

Company of Heroes

Dawn of War 2

Armed Assault 2

Sins of a solar empire of course

silent hunter V

shogun 2 (love total war)

combat mission shock force

Will be getting combat mission normandy when it comes out

Been playing some Oblivion as an Altmer Atronach to prepare for Skyrim later this year.

Also been playing some Gal Civ 2 Dark Avatar (dont have Twilight).  Got my arse handed to me by the Thalans in my last game.  Nasty.

Lego Star Wars 3: Clone Wars Co-op with my brother.  Pretty cool.  I like the planet missions.  Could use an actual AI, however.  The enemy never take your bases.  So, I guess its kind of RTS Lite in that regard.

Played a few games of Sins of a Solar Empire.  Still can't really get into it.  I prefer GalCiv2.  Hardcore RTS is just not really my thing.  I prefer TBS.

I've been playing Two Worlds 2, it's a surprisingly good game. 

Sins, of course.   DW - return of S....    And Sword of the Stars (still trying to get comfortable with the interface).

I'd like to point out that Dawn of War I+Xpacks is nothing like Company of Heroes+Xpacks. In fact, none of the DoW1 titles are remotely similar to any of the CoH titles.

Dawn of War 2 on the other hand, it's kinda the same but not the same.

I bought like 5 or 6 impulse games last night...the pile is just adding up.

My main game right now   Let's do some MP.

Bought CoH, OF and ToV during Steams christmas sale for 7.5 euro. Started with the tutorial and then onto MP with friends. Very fun!

Now I'm playing the campaigns on Expert (the hardest difficulty) and are currently on US Mission #7. The campaignmissions are NOT as well done and balanced as StarCraft II but then again, what is..?

I'm also playing

DEATH RALLY!!!

Remedy released it for free and they have reworked it to run on Win7!

April 7, 2011 5:43:58 PM from Elemental Forums

Some of you may have noticed I've not been so active on the forums. Some of you may even be glad for it. Here's my explanation:

I bought Shogun 2 the day it came out and couldn't get enough of it.

Then I made the mistake of trying out Minecraft. Paid the $20ish, and now I can't stop.

Seriously. I need help. I'm halfway done building a wall around a medium sized island that will eventually be one giant castle. And I see blocks when I close my eyes. I get frustrated and go to punch trees, and then get more frustrated when it hurts and the trees don't disappear.

So, How many movement points does your car have? 

The only task in Pripyat for SoC that I can remember is [spoiler alert] getting the decoder to open the hidden door. Hardly minor.  

I, and most of the free world, heartily disagree that Clear Sky was better. It took some good ideas from the SoC mods, but isn't nearly as good as the first with some essential mods. Unfortunately there's aren't mods available to bring CS to the level that SoC achieved. Call of Pripyat has me interest for now, and I'm enjoying it immensely. I'm still trying out the different mods, but none of them add enough guns, or at least many of my favorites yet.

I've been playing the good Front Mission games (as in, not Evolved), the 3 Homeworld games, Sword of the Stars, Stalker Call of Pripyat, Armada II, Morrowind, X3 (About wet my pants after playing the B5 demo), a few of the older Total War games after beating Shogun 2 (which doesn't have much replay-ability for me), Sims Medieval (until the magic wore off, now I'll probably never touch it again), and  I reinstalled Sins yesterday but didn't get past the menu screen. I have a pile of games behind me that are still shrink wrapped that I haven't gotten into yet, but those will probably sit a few more months for me to get to.

Games of the moment:

Death Track Resurrection (remake of an old game from when I was a kid, sweet nostalgia, not all that good a game if you haven't got the old memories to go with it);

The Sanctum beta (with a buddy, it's definitely co-op);

King's Bounty (Diggin' the cartoony graphics, like the earlier Heroes of Might & Magic, a game for hardcore HoMM-mechanics fans, otherwise will probably bore you before you finish);

SimsMedieval (not everybody's cup of tea, should really try and demo it first before paying the chunk of change they want -- I enjoy it because I get a kick out of designing Sims and sending them on quests).

Aveyond: Twilight Something or Other (picked it up on sale, I played the first hour or so and am digging the retro-ness. Seems like a decent story. My first real foray into any of the RPG Maker st!ff. I hope it continues to keep my interest!).

Zenith Chronicles (Sometimes I just want to come home and let a cute girl ride me while I blow fire at st!ff).

Master of Orion II (permanently installed. None better has yet been made. Don't argue. You know it's true.)

Recettear (Permanently installed. It's so blixxed cute I can't delete it. I play it at least once a month.)

Poker Night at the Inventory (Permanently installed for when I can't get together with buds for poker, but want to play. I don't play this without beer or liquor. It's a hoot if you know the characters.)

Dwarf Fortress (Love-hate relationship. If you don't know, don't ask.)

That's a pretty big list. I tend to hop around a lot. I've got a deep game library and go in and out of it depending on mood.

In the docket:

DA-2 replay. I really enjoyed the DA-2 story. Game was tight, but suffered from the Mass Effect 1-like lack of original maps. Still, I liked it more than DA-1, though I admit the later was superior in design. I'm waiting for a patch before playing it again as a different character class.

Elemental: War of Magic (waiting on the 1.3 patch for the random events/hopefully dynasty stuff; that plus the bug fixes should make it much more fun to play);

Runaway: Dream of the Turtle (AVG, played the first one some years ago, was funny, am looking forward to this game, the second in the series).

PORTAL 2 (Okay, so who doesn't plan on playing Portal 2 later this month? Only the people whose budgets are, like mine, being busted by a great gaming year. Hard to complain about that, right? This year is rockin'!).

Scrapland (on Impulse sale a couple days ago, looked intriguing, so I had an Impulse buy).

Most looking forward to:

The next Carpe Fulgur release;

Mass Effect III;

Achron (http://www.achrongame.com -- RTS, but can move back in time and change stuff, you changes propagate forward in a time wave!!);

more kick-ass unexpected Indie releases.

Holding out hope for: Fallen Enchantress, the next Elder Scrolls game.

Cheers,

P.S. Holy Smokes, a new Mechwarrior game for the PC??!?! I knew I read forums for a reason! Huzzah!

No, hehe. I admit there are some big differences between DoW 1 and CoH, but these do not make them nothing alike. Both are RT strategies, right? Both are set for smaller scale battles, theyre no SupCom or Sins in this regard, you rely on packs of different kinds of infantry supplemented with occasional tank, mech, etc... In both you need to get hold of the strategic points all over the map. In DoW you have heroes and commanders, in CoH you have those doctrines... I suppose both game have morale... The most important difference as i said is the more tactical approach of CoH, where you need to place precisely your static defenses and units in regard to their lines of sight and terrain, you can do suppression fire, take cover, the environment is destructible etc... it all makes for slower and kind of richer gameplay...but i prefered faster, more direct DoW.

 Overall i would say CoH is the middleground between DoW1 and DoW2, in some aspects more like 1 (base building), in other more like 2 (tactical aspects). But definitely not "nothing like" 1.
