That daily game progress thread...

[KAC]

Was thinking about a game progress thread where people come and post daily **** about what they finished, started or achieved within a game. Might be a good way to tell gaming related stories and/or talk about what they are doing in gaming. Can be PC and console if need be. Can be SP or MP and can be about a boss fight in a game, a level, or an end game (with the appropriate spoiler tags ofcourse).

So first up, is me.

I finished Bad Company 2 SP and uninstalled it (had 3 levels left)
I finished Alan Wake Episode 2 and am about halfway through on Episode 3 (I think)
I finished a couple of missions in Mexico in Red Dead Redemption
I finished Dinosys Park and got into Fontaine Futuristics in BioShock 2
Played through a couple of levels of AVP Human campaign. Got a few achievements also

That about it from my side.

Sure, I'll bite

Yesterday:

Finished Rome in Alpha Protocol and enjoyed the stealth infiltration mission immensely. It was almost Thief-like.

Finished the first few chapters of Gears of War PC. Yes, I know it's an ancient game but I have not played it and it runs and looks spectacular on the PC with all maxed out.

Did my usual hour and half of BC2. Did not go as well as I hoped or as it usually does but nothing terribly bad either. Some servers have really weird hit detection issues and some don't. Emptied and entire XM8 clip at point blank range into a wookie (while looking through the ACOG scope, not shooting from the hip)and he turned around and knifed me.

Today:

I plan to start up the free game I got from the GreenManGaming promotion - Farewell to Dragons.

[Trunks0]

- Started and finished Mirrors Edge in day. Shot but sweet.
- Updated Forgotten Hope 2. I was then soundly owned all day since I was wildly out of practice.
- DLed MassEffect 2 demo

[dawdler]

I finished Bad Company 2 SP and uninstalled it (had 3 levels left)

You finish a game without playing all levels? Did you also finish BC2 MP without seeing other players?

[KAC]

I had 3 levels left that I finished and uninstalled the game.

I just recently built a new AMD system (955BE @3.6GHz, 5770) and so I've been playing some of the games that my 7800GTX Could no longer handle:

-I reinstalled Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena and am running through it. I have to admit that both Riddick games are fantastic, some of the best shooters I've ever played.
-Working my way through the single player campaign within Unreal Tournament 3. The GTX just made it too hard. Now, it's fun again!

[pahncrd]

- Playing through Dragon Age to get to the expansion. Still an excellent game.
- Playing through my custom version of Fallout 3. I really want to finish the DLCs this time. I still haven't beaten broken steel.
- Still in the last half of Red Dead Redemption

Gratz on the new rig!

[spindoctor]

in single player i'm going through uncharted 2 currently... about half way through it so far. for multiplayer, a certain war themed hat simulator takes up all my gaming time.

[Destroy]

< TWEET!! > I turned on puter + thought about playing a game but read here instead.

[Nunz]

Got up to Chapter 3 in Dead Space. Really loving it. Game scared the **** out of me last night @ 11 PM headphones on and all lights off.. something jumped me from behind.

Just bought ME 1 and ME 2. Going to begin my ME adventures now!
Been waiting to find these on sale. Steam always comes through for me.

Mmm, Mass Effect is a nice treat, I think you'll like it.

I forgot to mention: I bought Modern Warfare 1 and ran through it pretty quickly (Steam reports ~5 hours). Just now getting into multiplayer. Punkbuster + Steam is a pain, but the game performs incredibly.

Did you complete NWN2? The first expansion was really great if you haven't played through it yet.

[zodiak]

Playing Alpha Protocol for the second time, just finished Rome.

Looking at all the mediocre RPG's on my desk (Dragon Age, Fallout 3..), deciding what to play next. Think I'll replay Witcher or Fallout 1.

[marqmajere]

Playing through Fallout 3. I'm only level 7, but damn is it good. Also been hooked on Super Street Fighter 4.

It is essentially the only reason to own NWN2.

I think you should probably play MotB right now.

If you are an RPG fan, and you want to enjoy ME2 to its fullest, you should play it BEFORE ME1... you wont really spoil anything, there are a few references to things you would already know through osmosis of the internet as it is. Plus you get the added bonus of seeing how ME2 changes when you load a save from ME1, which you wont see if you play ME1 first

[A2597]

Played a round of Supreme Commander. Learned playing 12 shields around an experimental resource generator stops a nuke. (Dangit)

[Serotonin]

Re-installed Stranglehold, beat it when it was new but tried it in 3D, actually works in 3D which is noteworthy in itself, but also quite fun in 3D.

Played a few levels of Serious Sam HD: Second Encounter. Quite a fun game. (not in 3D)

Console: Continued playing Wipeout HD, I beat as few tracks every night before bed.

[genci88]

You are wrong. The main NWN2 campaign is just as good. Different, but equally good. Didn't you play through masterpiece that was the Ammon Jerro haven? Or the masterpiece that was the Ember massacre trial?

Maybe it's a worse game if you play as an evil character, but I was a lawful good paladin and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

[sumpwa]

Finished Borderlands main quest, dlc 1, dlc 2, now powering through dlc 3.

[Pikeh]

Finished the Circle Tower quest on my Nightmare Dragon Age playthrough as a Archery Rogue.
For some reason its easier this time around than playing a melee rogue on normal.

I die quite enough on hard, so kudos to you for being able to make your way through nightmare.

I'll let you know when I get to the Revenants in the forest. Might have to knock it back a couple of difficulty settings there

[theshadowcult]

if you just go to all the areas first, then go back and play through normally, all the npcs will be low level when you actually get to them.

Been playing Mass Effect 2 for the the last 2 months. Steam says 205 hours sunk into it. I think I may play something else after this solider run. I may start Dragon Age and its new addon. But today im still playing Mass Effect 2.

[KAC]

Not to question how someone can play 205 hours of ME2...

Anyways, finished BioShock 2 today and steam reported 16 hours playtime. I am sure it was 11-12 hours since there were 3 patches that took 3 hours to download and once I left BioShock 2 on for about an hour. Fantastic game with an epic ending. Loved it. Don't know why I held off to playing this game. Stays true to the original and very cool storyline.

Also started FO3 GOTY edition and enjoyed the birthday party .

Will pump some Alan Wake and Red Dead Redemption tonight.

Only reason I played games on a weekday is because I called in sick today.

[Nunz]

Slowly progressing through Mass Effect 1. Really enjoying the game, the ****ty combat is getting on my nerves though.. Keep dying. I was a pro in DA and KOTOR.. wtf!

[Jimby]

Just finished The Witcher last night. What an awesome game. Can't wait for #2. Before the Witcher I played Mass Effect 2, then Dragon Age and the expansion, then Mass Effect 1. Had a great run that's for sure.
Now looking for something new to play, was thinking of Stalker.

[Sundance Kid V2]

I need to do the same

[Brainstew]

-Replaying Arcanum with a tech build.
-Replaying System Shock 2 with texture mod.
-Just started Dragon Age Awakening.
-About 1/3rd into Red Dead Redemption.

[exitwound]

Now a Corporal on Modern Warfare! Woot.

[zebra 204]

Beat ME2 the day before yesterday. Around 60% completion with Burnout Paradise. Found all the billboards and fences and 43 out of 50 Super Jumps.

[Pr3tty F1y]

Up to 62 exits on Super Mario World.

Once you get to a decent level and have the good guns and armor (spectre gear) you basically don't die. Also with ME 1 pistols crap all over assault rifles. Especially if your an inflitrator.

[Nunz]

I'm a Vanguard. Not too good with the use of Biotics.. and since I am only trained for Shotguns and Pistols it really limits my choices.

By the way, with the armor.. Spectre Gear? I heard Captain Anderson say something about that after I became a Spectre... I found a requisitions officer there, but the armor was worse then mine (Using Scorpion I light armor) and that was a Onyx III.

How do you tell between Spectre gear and regular?
