GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

SO the other day I buy Drakensang because I've heard nothing but good things about it from most gamers that give it a try and although it feels pretty generic, I'm really liking a lot of the things the game does right. I believe this is the first game where I acually try to craft items because, while not making the crafting process too easy, this game has made it simple enough in thought and execution that I actually don't mind doing it. So far I'm enjoying my party and I'm melding them all to specialize in certain things and I've really had no troubles so far.

But I've also just downloaded the next Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion: Mysteries of Westgate. People say it's 15 hours of play for about $10 so that's not a bad deal at all. Looking to see how that little expansion plays out.

And finally Broken Steel for Fallout 3 is fixed for PC and I'm currently downloading that and getting ready to start it up so I can continue that game with my old character and hopefully in the future I'll start an evil play through with The Pitt and Operation Anchorage expansions to change the pace of that playthrough.

Finally Demon's Souls came in the mail today and I'm looking forward to playing this. I bet it will take me a while to figure things out in tht game since the booklet is in another language and the only thing Ihave to guide me without spoiling anything is this little fold out guide that came with the game in english.

I think I have enough RPG's to last me well beyond Dragon's Age or Alpha Protocol's release.

Wow, lot's of goodies in there, and yeah, it's best to play a variaty of games than focusing on one type of genre or age that it takes place at, otherwise u would get bored and need to wait a long time before u can enjoy the genre again

If you need any help with Demon's Souls, you know who to ask. I'll keep it as spoiler free as possible.

Glad you're enjoying Drakensang. I share your opinion of the game. It doesn't seem to do anything new, but it's good at what it does. I am digging the character system for the most part. Definitely gives you a lot of options.

i'm still jealous of xbox and pc users with fallout 3 DLC. I don't thik I'll ever let that go.

How is NWN2, now that I got a new computer I've been eyeing it, but I'm scared.

Are you doing all these at the same time? You're a machine, man!

bahamat0: I once did 3 isometric party RPG's in a row and got turned off the genre for about a month or so. Playing Planescape Torment, NWN 2 and Baldur's Gate 2 back to back really had me fried. I went stright to FPS's after that just to let of some steam.

rragnaar: Will do. I think I'm going to hop on that after Fallout 3 and Drakensang.

Alaris83: I read the reviews and they were saying things about how difficult the character sheet was and I'm just not seeing that. So far the characters I've tweaked to specialize in certain things are bale to handle anything thrown at them and I'm liking the variety in my party so far. I just need to find a wizard type and ditch the charlatan to even out the party.

Thanos: NWN 2 had horrible performance when it first came out but now with the patches the game runs great. I find NWN 2 much better than the original (except for online) and the Motb and SoZ expansions all add something new to the game (MoTB is a must play expansion)

Valek: I'm actually going to go from game to game. Right now I'm concentrating on the Fallout 3 DLC and I only have The Pitt to finish up. Then it's probably back to Drakensang, over to Demon's Souls and then I might take a break from them for a while and play InFamous. Also I'll be getting the new Fable II DLC tomorrow.
