Right now I'm sucking on my vaporstick playing some Starcraft 2!!! There are certain moments in the game when I can break away from the game and take a drag, though as I get into the Diamond League there's little room for breaks!

Also enjoy Final Fantasy series for console (up until 10)! I'll vape 3 carts dry in one sitting playing FF!

Gothic to me is an aquired taste. I started with Gothic 2 actually, and it took some getting used too on the controls, But I loved the story so much in it, I had to go back and play the first one. The story is engrossing and it gives you alot of freedom like elder Scrolls, its the control scheme that takes some getting used too.

Maybe I will have to give Gothic 2 or 3 a try, or just wait until 4 is out later this month. I like all of the Elder Scroll games, though never have gotten far in them.. I usually end up deciding there's not enough action and combat to keep my attention, or interest for very long. I guess I prefer games with more hack and slash like Neverwinter Nights and Neverwinter Nights 2 and other games like that, where there are a lot of options/choices for weapons/armor/magic..

How was Risen? I loved the Gothic series especially the first two of them. I know Risen was made by the same people who did those. Also there is a Gothic 4 coming end of october, but by different developers.

Haven't tried Risen yet, is it any good? Though I've heard if you didn't like the Gothic series then you probably wont like Risen and I didn't like Gothic at all, though never tried Gothic 2 or 3.

Gothic 3 was a really good game once all the Community Patches were applied! Most folks tried it early and, understandably, gave up on it. I gave it a 2ns chance 1 year later all patched up and it was an EXCELLENT game.

Risen is really my style game so I'm biased(don't see enough of this style RPG anymore) but I liked it a lot. Except for the ending. The ended was totally out of character for the game. It switched styles completely to more of a console/action thing. My other complaint was that it was too short...unlike Gothic 3 which was very long.

I can't wait to see what the other developer does with with Gothic 4. I wish it was still PB though. What I really can't wait for is Witcher 2! Been playing Dragon Age: Origin....pretty good game but it's not really my style. I like an open sand box world.

yeah I tried Gotic 3 pretty much the day it was released and did not like itcompared to the other two games, maybe now I'll give it another shot. There is a Stand alone expansion to Gothic 3 and I think its by the same developers that are doing the new one, I bought that too, but don't want to play it until I finish Gothic 3

Started out Warbirds, and Fighter Ace actually. I prefer the man-o on man-o dogfights in WW2 flight sims over the shoot and forget of modern jet warfare sims personally. :) I was the only person crazy enough to dogfight in a Stuak, held a 5-1 ratio for 2 years. It may be slow, but at low alt, can turn on a dime, and takes alot to stall out. Was funny to see Spit/Mustang pilots dive on me, only to overshoot, stall in a slow turn fight, and get burned. :) Hated Yak9's though.. grrrr

I play mostly fps. Favorite was Day of Defeat, but then they messed that up with Source :glare:. Not really dedicated to anything right now. Had a good run with lotro but just doesn't hold my attention any more.

Looking forward to New Vegas, DCS: A-10C Warthog . . and what seems likely to be the last game I'll ever play SWTOR :p

I'm not too big on MMOs, and my computer doesn't handle games very well, so I don't really play any other games on PC. I played WOW for about a month, but I didn't like it. So complex with all the different buttons, and people are .......s on there...I mean, why play an MMO if you're not going to interact with anyone?
I played FlyFF for a while and really liked it, but the people I played with all got really busy.

I mostly like older RPGs that aren't multiplayer. Currently re-playing Link's Awakening for the original gigantic gray GameBoy. Actually, I'm not currently playing it...I've taken a break from it for a little while because the mini-boss in the 8th dungeon was frustrating the hell out of me. Fav. game of all time is Chrono Trigger.
