Anything really interesting? Notable? Anything too terrible to ever pick up a controller to again?

I'm playing Baldur's Gate 1, Fallout New Vegas, and Oblivion, sort of cycling through at random. Mostly BG1 and New Vegas.

Fallout: New Vegas (Great, but the LOADING SCREENS ARE EATING MY EYES AHHHGHHH), Left 4 Dead 2 (fun), Temple of Elemental Evil (Fun but flawed in some ways), and I just beat (about ten minutes ago) Amnesia: The Dark Descent which I highly recommend for anyone who likes horror at all.
I'm gonna pick up Nippon Ichi's "Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger Darkdeath Evilman" tomorrow, see how that is.

Fallout: New Vegas Yeah, me too. It's great, NV is better than FO3 in every way. Temple of Elemental Evil (Fun but flawed in some ways) Do you have the Circle of Eight modpack? It's basically a fan restoration of what the game was supposed to be like. http://www.co8.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3543As for me, I'm playing Drakensang: The River of Time, (so far good, better than the first Drakensang.) Mafia II, (fun as hell, but suffers from the GTA problem of not making the sandbox stuff available right away) the Witcher (Director's Cut, with the boobies restored  ) The Ball, (which is a Mayan themed fps puzzle game based around manipulating a giant metal ball) Gothic 3, (lol) Dungeon Crawl, (one of the top 5 games ever) and Vtm: Bloodlines (with the restoration patch, and for like the ninth time, and ditto) |

Fallout New Vegas (I hate glitches...) and oddly a bit of Oblivion.
Have the strongest urge to go back and play Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire, though.

Still hacking through Oblivion. I've modded it up the yin yang and have the Elsweyr mod too.
I really want Fallout New Vegas, but I can't until exams are over because it will distract me horribly!

I think I'm officially done with Fallout New Vegas for a while. Played through it a handful of times, each time getting farther and farther away from the level cap and doing less and less. It's fun but it gets frustrating having to reboot or losing a save or the grinding frame rates.

Aside from things phasing through the planet when i snipe them from a mile away (they show up due to the scope increasing draw distance) and the odd hard-lock when I get hit by 4 or more explosions at once, never had any issues with that. 1st playthrough, hardcore mode. Level 27. Will beat it once I hit 30. \ o / |

My first attempt through was on hardcore, but for some reason I kept getting my limbs broken over minimal damage. From full health to a concussion and two broken legs from a single handgun bullet. And it kept happening.
So I abandoned that and my next game went okay. Then I had the level up glitch and had to start over (700 out of 200 XP, my ass). Then the ash pile glitch from Fallout 3 is still there. The perma-falling glitch. An extremely important NPC wouldn't, under any circumstances, progress my quest for me. And it was near the end of the main quest, too.
Safe to say I've had issues. Whatever. Maybe I'll look into Fable III. I'm sure I'll be disappointed with how little it's progressed, but then again, maybe my expectations of Peter Molyneaux are so low now that I'll just be happy that if I push on the stick, the guy'll walk.

Only issues I've had with FONV, is random crashes, and the generic graphic errors with things being stuck in places.
Like the Radscorpion in the rock-face of Black Mountain, and the likes.

 Bethesda says: "Why make sure our own game is finished, polished, and bug-free when it hits the shelves? The modding community will fix it for us, thus saving thousands in development costs." |

This time, it's not Bethesda, it's the Obsidian Entertainment guys who buggered FONV. They have historically had huge problems with quality control, projection direction and scope. See any of their recent games. Despite the fiction the press (and they) like to maintain, the guys from BIS were good because they were surrounded by people who knew what they were doing in QA at Interplay, and had solid direction from the top, and when they left and became Obsidian Ent, they left a lot of essential talent behind. I think they bought a little too much into their own marketing message of "we're the guys who did fallout, we're the guys who did icewind dale, we're the guys who did planescape," and started believing it. Had they realized they were an untested team with gaping holes in their experience, owned it and fixed it, we'd have seen a lot better games from out of them over the last few years. |

I think everybody is already aware of my seething hatred for Obsidian and Bioware, whom I swear I can't tell apart until I look up a wiki list of exactly which games each company is responsible for fucking up.
My statement still somewhat stands, though, given how many fix patches I tend to have to download for Elder Scrolls games just to make them work as intended.

Bethesda has produced some of the worst stuff I've had the misfortune of playing among the highly rated games. Sure, there are trash games out there, but everyone admits they are trash.

So, I am playing Zettai Hero Project: Ultimate Victory Unlosing Ranger vs Darkdeath Evilman.
It's pretty awesome.
But then, all Nippon Ichi games that aren't Soul Nomad are pretty awesome, so.

Tales of Vesperia, PS3. Waiting on Tales of Graces F and Monster Hunter Portable 3, but that's still some time coming.
Until then - more League of Legends and.... worldofwarcraft:(

Mainstreampalooza for me.
Halo Reach
Rock Band 3
Fable III
Fallout New Vegas
Even if I had the money, I am actively boycotting Activision. So you will not see me playing any of the following (barring the slinging of a used copy my way):
Guitar Hero: WoR
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Goldeneye 007 (2010)

So uh, Zettai Hero Project: Ultimate Victory Unlosing Ranger vs Darkdeath Evilman.
the 'Introductory Training Dungeon' is 60 floors of pain.
By about oh, the 50th floor, the enemies are a mere level 94. Not too bad. You can get to the 59th floor and will probably be about, say, level 80, yourself. Pretty good, huh?
Floor 60?
ANGEL OF JUSTICE AND LOVE FLONNE shows up.
She's level 600 and has over 20,000 hit points.
Ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
Not that it matters. While she curbstomped me (read: I got one-shotted, much rage happened) the first time, the second time, I wasn't having any of her bullshit and, 491,281,970 exp later (no really, that's what the game counter said it was), I was level 602, walked up, and bitchslapped her into oblivion. >=[
