Among other things I plan to do on the holidays, I hope to get some gaming in.
Here's my "plan":
- Learn and play LoL
- Finish Batman: Arkham City
- Finish Borderlands 2
Might play Prototype 2 as well, but I tried it out yesterday and it wasn't too great. I've finished (well done the main storyline and about half of the other stuff) of Skyrim too, and got veteran done on MW3. Might also try out Amnesia.
Any other recommendations?
Dishonored?
Black Ops 2?
N.B. Not a huge MMO fan, and I want to lean LoL before I play DOTA. Also not a massive FIFA fan (I do play FIFA 12 occasionally though). No Runescape/MapleStory/etc please.
-
Definitely play LoL, it is the best game around and everyone plays it. Also get your hands on Resident Evil 6, Diablo 3 (Might not like it) and Starcraft II.
-
Why would you willingly play LoL or DOTA?
Hitman Absolution, XCOM Enemy Unknown, Guild Wars 2, Minecraft, AssCreed 3 and FarCry 3 are the ones I'll play this summer. Probably about half a dozen hours each for the first couple, AC3 might take a bit longer.
-

Hitman Absolution, XCOM Enemy Unknown, Guild Wars 2, Minecraft, AssCreed 3 and FarCry 3 are the ones I'll play this summer. Probably about 50 hours over 2 months in those.
What's wrong with LoL? It's a very enjoyable game and it's F2P. I agree that the other games you mentioned are good except for XCOM which I don't know too much about, I think I saw it on Steam though. There is also a game on Steam called Puddle: Dive into liquid physics, I think you might enjoy that one especially.
-
It's fundamentally based on DOTA mechanics and thus suffers from all the same flaws. I tried it, cannot stand it. It's anti-fun (bad learning curve, bad community, if your team is bad you are screwed and will spend half an hour not having fun, in a match you cannot leave)
If you like it, great, but I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone
-
Amnesia made me dizzy. It's very... wobbly, and a bit hard to control since you're playing as someone who's sick or drugged or insane or something like that >_<
-
TF2! It's free as well
You seem to like single player action-y type games.
Try Assassins Creed, Fallout 3, Skyrim, Saints Row III, etc.
Have a browse through steam maybe and check out the reviews on metacritic(http://www.metacritic.com/).
If strat is your thing, civilization will ensure you just will stop sleeping (just one more turn..)
-
Mass effect 2
Black Ops 2
A new medieval game called chivalry
The new cs
Gaming days here we come.
Got my cyborg gaming gear all set to go!
-
LEAGUE OF LEGENDSSSSSSSSSSS NEW SEASON ~~~~~?!!?
It's really not that bad if you play with your friends or people you know are good in a premade game.
-
Hitman Absolution and AC3!

=D
-
p.s.
people put up your steam account names :D
-
Guild Wars 2~
inbox me if you want a free trial serial code (coming out on the 16th)
-
Don't really get why you want to play LoL before Dota. They are both hard to learn, and quite different, knowing LoL won't do amazing amounts. Russolini is also quite right, the game can be quite crushing sometimes: http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/566/
-
p.s.
people put up your steam account names :D
I would but you people would judge me by the number of CSS hours I have

I've heard about Audi though doesn't it eat a lot of your Internet?
To OP: If you're looking for a good story based game (More story than game) then I recommend 'To the Moon' by Kan Gao :)
Emotional game but worth it!
-
I've been playing Trouble In Terrorist Town, for those on IRC it's essentially a FPS version of werewolf :D
I plan to play those games that I bought but never got around to playing up until the Christmas sale. I've been meaning to get around to Metro 2033 for a while now, Batman Arkham City (Asylum was awesome!) aswell as play Ass Creed 3 :D

I dunno and actually don't care because I normally play with my cousin, he pays $ for internet though LOL
but Henry T, if you like music, defs play Audition, they have lots of good songs :)
-
I'll most likely be playing:
- Assassins Creed III
- Borderlands II
- Mass Effect III (Maybe)
- Pokemon Black and White II (fuck yes!)
- Black Ops II (i'm a sucker for COD)
I know Pokemon Back and White II is DS, but I had to share my excitement.
-
I love Tetris. If thats even a game
I have my old, colour gameboy that I love playing (i'm on level 10!) because its old, and always there, so why not.
I have also played Mass Effect 3
Spoiler
the endings are shit
-
I wanna learn how to play dota 2. It seems so hard though! So many heroes, you gotta know how to build it, what items to get and when and just general tactics
-
Mass Effect 3
Crysis 3
Far Cry 3
Battlefield 3
Sims 3
.. and Need For Speed MW 2012
At the very least

Tried playing Dota 2 last night and it's quite hard. I think I'll need to sit down and learn everything.
Anyone play Dota 2 here?
-
Black Ops II
Pokemon B/W II
Guild Wars II

Mass Effect 3
Relatively set for summer :)

Yes. I'm pretty crappy :)
-
I don't think I have the commitment to sit down and learn how to play these games. FPS for the win!!!!
As I've said before, we need an AN LAN party sesh, then maybe I'd try learning DOTA
-
Kerbal Space Program.
It's what you get when you cross Lego, rockets and orbital mechanics and throw in a healthy dose of fiery explosions.
Seriously, so much fun.
It isn't mindless fun either, it's very involved and I've learnt heaps about rockets and astrodynamics.
Check out their website or subreddit or some videos (lots of videos in that playlist)
Also, the game is only in alpha testing (current version 0.17.1) and it costs some small amount of money which increases with each update, but once you buy it, you get free updates forever.

Let's be honest if you're not playing D2 you're just wasting time.
Diablo 2 is awesome :) I used to play that so often, especially hardcore. Though it sucked being one of the few legit level 90+ hardcore characters. It got a lot better once tppk was removed and I could finally join open hell games, rather than having to make private games all the time. Even so, I eventually got bored of expansion and decided to make a lot of hccl characters.
Unless you're talking about dota 2, of which case it is you that is wasting time.

DotA 2, WoW (it actually looks pretty bloody fun if you could be dedicated to it and don't mind paying), and AC3 are the games I want to play. I don't have WoW or AC3 yet.
Busting out Pokemon Red on my phone, too.
Edit: And I was playing Pugna in D2 the other day in a pub game and...
wait for it...
I didn't feed and/or suck horribly.
I secretly suck. This was a major accomplishment.

Don't purchase AC3 guys. The game should be rated R for rubbish.
