You shouldn't be getting 'glitches' on Skyrim - it's several years old.

I'm currently playing a fair amount of Skyrim. And when I say "playing," I mean "playing for 40 minutes then encountering yet another glitch and rage-quitting." The. I usually come crawling back within a day, because I want to find just one more Word of Power.

What I'm really anticipating is when Season 2 of The Walking Dead is released on disc next week.

I assume you've played Mass Effect, Dead Space, Tomb Raider and Deus Ex Human Revolution. They're all worth a crack if you haven't.

Since I'm building my first PC this weekend, I am quite looking forward to starting with The Witcher 1 and Dragon Age Origins.

Then KOTOR is on my list, everyone praises 2, should I play 1 as well or just 2?

And I bought CS, I've never played an FPS game before, so that will be interesting.

Ahhh how have I just noticed this thread?

KOTOR's also on my list to finish during a few flights over the holidays. I play too much Spades on the subway and am a quarter into Skyrim.

Did you play KOTOR 1 and 2? Or did you start with 2?

Anyone playing Civilization V? I've heard many good things about it, but somehow I can't get into it. Which means, I put about 2 hours into it and still do not quite get on what I have to do. (Well, I do get what I am doing as in I am running around building things, but I find it boring and I'm worried I might be missing out on something because I didn't give it more time.) Maybe it's just not up my alley.

I've played those on consoles. I'm still on Mass Effect 3 actually. Need to finish that, now that you mention it. Love Deus Ex.

To be fair, Skyrim has always been quite glitchy, as have all the big Bethesda RPGs. I've not found it to be game-breakingly bad, though.

Love Deus Ex.

Currently replaying DX:HR - the Director's Cut version is my excuse. Love it love it love it. Best game I've played in years.

You should absolutely play the first KOTOR. It's one of the greatest RPGs ever made, imo. Also, when you play KOTOR 2, make sure you get the restored content mod or else you might find yourself wondering why so many say it's better than the first. When it first came out, it was rushed to meet a timed release date and lots of content was cut. Much of it is restored with the mod.

Just finished the Gabriel Knight remake (and am replaying it, mostly because I'm on a Mac and therefore can't play the sequels :cry:).

This is probably sacrilege, but I prefer the new voice actor over Tim Curry. He's much more consistent with the characterization (some of Tim Curry's line readings struck me as odd choices).

I recently acquired War Thunder. It's great for an old Grognard like me...
I started playing that but also installed World of Tanks the same weekend and that's captured my attention a bit more. I do intend to go back to War Thunder in the future.

I've also enjoyed From Dust, a very different, almost artistic game.

I still enjoy Starcraft (pretty much all of it, I and II). And SimCity 2000. Roller Coaster Tycoon. And what was the Microsoft strategy game? Oh, Rise of Nations.

On console (XBox360) I'm still playing Rainbow 6: Vegas, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted. I was going to buy one of the old Splinter Cell games, but I keep changing my mind which. And I want to play Thief, as well.

Until a couple of weeks ago it was all Dragon Age: Inquisition and Sunset Overdrive. Now though I'm playing through every nook and cranny of Mortal Kombat X. Always been a huge fighting game fan and along with Killer Instinct MK is just the best.

Curious: how does DA: Inquisition rank in comparison to the first two?

I love Civilization V. At first, I didn't; I was too used to IV, and found that I wasn't picking things up as quickly as I'd hoped to. But it didn't take much more than 2 hours for me to really get into it. I love the belief system, for example, although you can completely ignore it if you want, and the huge range of extra civilizations you can play as (depending on the mods installed). Did you end up continuing with it?

(And also, Mass Effect 3, my favourite game ever, although I know I might be in the minority there. Did you finish it?)

Ooh, some good games there! :)
SuperSmashBros. is awesome, though I still love Melee. Skyrim is just amazing.

I've been playing Borderlands 2 split screen co-op with my sister. So addicting, just shooting things and collecting loot. :D

There is no end to the amount of fun you can have with Smash 4, assuming you have people to play with and/or an Internet connection.

About to start MGS: Ground Zeroes again on the ps4 instead of the now dead Xbox 360 I was playing it on. I have a sudden urge to 100% it before Phantom Pain comes out in September now.

I'm eager to revisit the The Uncharted Collection in a few days. Some of the other games I enjoy are The Last of Us, Dead Space, God of War, Final Fantasy, inFAMOUS, and Resident Evil.
