What Are You Playing (Summer 2012)

[sedition]

More PC people need to play Day Z. I started making a thread for it while I was at work but my computer locked up. Anyway, download and play it.

I saw your post, and it triggered me to watch this, which has a long Day Z part.

I'm not gonna spend $30 on ArmA 2 to play that mod. I know a lot of people are. Maybe if it goes on sale for under $10.

BTW yesterday I checked out Dawn of War 2. I enjoyed Dawn of War 1 and CoH but I am all thumbs when it comes to RTS games. So they messed around with it a bit (dare I say "dumbed down"?) and it works.

I've been playing Thief 2 for the first time and I *love* it. Looking Glass was pretty incredible.

I'll probably try DayZ if the ArmA collection gets a big sale.

It's a pretty great game. I love the move towards small squad-based combat over resource management. Gathering loot for a small set of characters > gathering minerals.

It works really well for Co-op too. I haven't tried the last stand multiplayer mode but I've heard nothing but good things.

Soul Reaver 2 (PC) and Heavy Rain. Soul Reaver 2 is something that I've been meaning to play since FOREVER, and now that I finally am thanks to GOG I'm wishing that I had a controller for my PC...

A wired 360 pad is like $30 on Amazon. Totally worth it.

[Gondolin]

Yeah? I'll check that out. Thanks.

Mirror's Edge. This game has great style, and it's fun although I have trouble maintaining some flow still. Part of the problem is it is hard as fuck to tell where to go when in the open environments.
