Game: What game are you currently playing??

[Animeniax]

I didnt play the first one but I plan on buying Mercs 2, so Ani give me your opinion so I can decide whether its worth it or not. I hate buying games that end up just occupying space in my collection.

So far, looks like they messed with a good thing. We'd be lucky if they just made a GTA-clone like the first one. I guess they couldn't get the source code for GTA:IV in time to make this game. If I were you, I'd wait 2 months, then pick this up from eBay for $20. This is probably the last time I pre-order a game.

What really bites is that I could have replayed BF:Bad Company like I wanted to, then read all the negative reviews for Mercs2, then go on vacation, then wait another couple months to buy it for $20 on eBay.

Thats too bad and I was looking forward to this game too. Oh well I'll just scratch that one off the list.

[kenren]

I started playing DotA again. It's addictive >.<

d-d-d-dota?

I bought warhammer 40k Dark Crusade a week ago...
The game is too easy... at least with Necrons, they are totally OP.

I personally like Tau. Not that they're strong, just that they look cool.

I haven't touched the game for a while now.

[animus]

Playing the Warhammer Open Beta, atm.

It's not too bad. Name's Sentinel, an order Swordmaster on Gorfang.

[KrayZ33]

you preordered the game? or closed beta key?

[animus]

Naw, it was an open beta key provided by mmorpg.com

They were giving away beta keys on random sites for both the US and EU beta.

What a coincidence, I am playing dota too...I use Garena Client.

[6Zabuza9]

I'm still playing wow, but this time I'm playing a Draenei Priest on Onyxia. As well when im bored, I play some random Dota games on battle.net and some GTA 4 sometimes.

[Buffalobiian]

Typing Mania 4. Yeah, I'm spreading it like an addict.

[Xelbair]

Stalker - Clear Sky and the best strategy game out there(excluding homeworld 1)(no - not the shitty starcraft) - Homeworld 2

[Marik]

Perfect World International as a Winged Elf Cleric.

[Board of Command]

Stalker - Clear Sky

And after that's done, Crysis Warhead.

[itadakimasu]

i wouldn't play crysis warhead even if somebody gave it to me...

I'm stuck on WoW still... see this going on for months. Going to buy SC2 in december though.

[Sandldan]

Lost odyssey
Eternal sonata
Mercenaries 2
Crysis: Warhead
Ratchet & clank quest for booty
Dota (hamachi or garena)

And maybe start playing WoW with some friends again

[RedX1z]

I'm playing Mega Man 2 until Mega Man 9 comes out on Monday on the VC Shop.

[BioAlien]

Florensia
http://en.florensia-online.com/news

A multi language free 3D MMO from japan still in beta.

It's really not bad, there's not much content yet, only 2 normal islands with a town on them, the other islands, from what I have seen, only have 2 characters on them, a bartender, to buy food for your crew and a smithy.

Exp on Land and on Sea, I prefer the Sea with monsters and enemies ships. (pirates?)


That and, Diablo II Lord of Destruction, from time to times. Like now... since "Hackshield" for Florensia fucked up and no one can play until they fix it...

I've cancelled my WoW account finally and I've picked up Warhammer Online. I'm playing on Ironclaw Destruction side for anyone who's interested!

Ah...too bad, I had one Order unit on Ironclaw, but my mains are Destruction on Tor Elyr.

That said, RvR (realm vs realm) combat is quite possibly the most well done in any MMO I've played. The balance is perfect, but not in the usual sense. You actually need to use tactics and think instead of rely on super powerful gear to win the day. A squishy like a Sorceress (my personal favorite so far) will get beaten to death easily by nearly every other class, but have them distracted by two other units and you can easily kill three at once. I got 42 assisted kills just yesterday on Khaine's Embrace (one of the RvR scenarios that you can just hop into line while you play PvE).

Public Quests are another cool thing about it. Walk into a particular area, and you instantly start a quest. Kill so many of this or that, and then the next two stages begin, with a time limit. By the third stage you really need to use a lot of teamwork to actually pull it off. Anyone can jump in at any time, but those who contribute the most get the best chance when everyone rolls for loot (and loot is always rolled for, so everyone has a fair chance).

It's rare that you find a MMO where tactics and teamwork trump gear in PvP combat. Is it a WoW killer? I think it's a different audience, maybe a subset, but it should gain a pretty strong following in its own right.
