What are you playing?

I've got about half a dozen more achievements left to get in Dragon Age Origins (expect to finish it today or tomorrow) and I think I will finish the game with my Dailish Elf save to import into DA2 because the clan is the same in both games. Merril encountered in the clan is the only minor character in DAO turned major character in DA2. It also explains her obsession with the mirror (can't believe I didn't make the connection until a few days ago).
 
Doing some F1 2012 before pCars and F1 2015 comes out.
Getting ready to play some Race 07 as it's on sale.

I got all of the Dragon Age Origins achivements and now I'm playing the whole game through again, doing everything, as a Dailish Elf for the express purpose of importing it into Dragon Age 2. Also going to finish up the Dragon Age "Last Court" soon too.

Installed origins 2 days ago. ......i uninstalled it today. Something about it me playing it over and over did not make sense. I made for the very first time a female noble human. It was fun and also weird. I was an warrior. I had never been the "tank" .Always played at a mage. The fact that i had to do everything with my right click was bad (moving the character, attacking,selecting the loot).Then i switched the mouse buttons in the settings menu.That kinda improved things.....kinda. Cuz int he inventory/character skill tree etc having the buttons inverted was very bad and awkward.
I finished a few years ago DAO but don't remember having an issue with the mouse buttons. Is it the same in DA2? Cuz since i recently finished DA 3 i know for a fact that i had no problems in the latest installment.
Why does the saves from DAO matter in DA2 ? You must explain to me. DA 2 is a completely different game. The only character from DAO in DA 2 is Witch of the Wiles Flemeth.
Tell me, does it even matter who you play in DAO ? Don't you get the same cutscenes and exact same choices ? I know for sure in DA 3 if you play an elf mage you will have the entire world disapprove of you,and if your a human warrior / fighter / paladin style everyone will love you and always take your side.
Anyways now i need to install DAO again :)) ....i've talked about it. I need to play it again :confused:

Lots of decisions in DAO carry over to DA2. I won't go into details here because they are numerous, yet subtle. For example, Anders was a major character in Dragon Age: Awakening and he's a major character throughout Dragon Age 2. Other characters will make a cameo based on whether or not they live.

When I imported a DAO mage character last time, the fact she was a mage was referenced repeatedly as well as some of her actions (like saving the Circle instead of invoking the Rite of Annulment). The acts still carry on much the same but, in my opinion, the nuisances are worth it. The Dailish Elf origin especially interests me because that character is from the same clan featured prominently in Dragon Age 2.

I tend to play the game much like I play KOTOR: hold right mouse button to look and use WASD to move forward and "steer."

Since you did the mage origin, I suggest trying one of the others. They're all pretty good but I think Human Noble is my least favorite. Yeah it opens some options when you get to the Landsmeet but the fact your a noble doesn't seem very relevant except in Denerim (end of the game). I think I like playing rogue the best because you can gain a lot of XP from disarming traps and opening locks without relying on someone else. Second favorite would be warrior with two-handed specialization (the best at crowd control). Third would be mage and fourth would be warrior with sword and shield specialization. I don't see much use in a rogue archer (just bring Leliana if you need it).

What I'd recommend doing is starting each origin and playing it through until you regain control at Ostegar. Once you've seen the origin story, you can best decide for yourself which you want to follow through with. Also, remember to hold the tab key to reveal where most interactable stuff is.
 
The tab key is a great tip. I never played noble human,so as boring as it goes i wanna give it a try for the story line sake. All i did was male dailish elf. People tended to have a problem with me.
I will not be playing DA 2 again. I did it 2 times already. DAO + Awek 1 time & DA Inquisition 1 time. But all this in the future.

Right now i need something that will be mindless shooting. So i installed yet again Singularity

It's been a experience that's for sure, All so cool is that i got my pedals from my wheel to work in the game at the same time.

I am some 170 hours in now lol.

And made by the very excellent Raven Software who really should be given the job of making a Jedi Knight.

Despite its overly average reviews, singularity is still one of my most favourite games of all time. Surely, it was the first bullet steering gun featured game right? Only other that comes to mind is the sniper in bulletstorm

I can only speak for myself in response to your question. For quite a long regrettable time i had have gaming as a main hobby. Every year i play a few of the titles that come out. Singularity is a 2010(or 2011) title, if i am not mistaken. In that year i have also enjoyed Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2, Mafia 2, Medal of Honor, Darksiders ( did not like), Battlefield: Bad Company 2(loved it), StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty(courtesy of a friend), Call of Duty: Black Ops, Blur(great for lan), and i could never ever forget 2010 witch kindly brought me Mass Effect 2!

Very under-rated game, IMO, that wasn't promoted well-enough! Played it again last month, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
 
I have yet to play it, but it looks really nice.

I just finished it 30 minutes ago. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That being said here's my again experience through the second time i've finished this game so far (and the very last). Chose to give it another try,cuz i had nothing else to play and i never played it on my "new" (old) monitor the 23 inch one.

If you play the game do it at hard settings. It's very easy, short and boring at medium.
There are not many boss fights(I will not spoil anything for you), so hard difficulty is fine when you just have to kill random mobs. Between the power-ups ,the ammo that you can find anywere, the upgrades, you are very overpowered as it is.

The game looks bad. With everything turned on to the max there is no detail to the environment. Everything looks blurred out. There are a few bugs. A door that wont open,and the soldier is on the other side shooting at you,can not proceed further into the game unless you restart the last check point etc .
At 19,99 euros you pay for a few hours of single player story mode and that is it. The multyplayer is pretty much dead . Not to mention that the main story once finished , it has no replayability value. You make a hard difficulty clean sweep , get as much as the upgrades as possible ,find all the secret areas etc and then that's it.

I will give Singularity a 7 /10. Such a high qualificative only because there are very few games like it out there. One cannot ignore....at least they tried.
 
playing GTA:V with the main story mode at 60% completion. Ran the game mostly on High settings with V-Sync enabled & FXAA On @ 1080p for the sake of stability. Smooth fps with slight dip & random stuttering, but overall is a decent game. No mods installed.
 
@Tsukiyomi91 Where did you find the 24 inch ASUS MX239H ? Thers only 23 and 27. No 24 in production.
 
239 = 23.9" (60 cm) truncated to 23" or rounded to 24"

Playing Dragon Age 2. Yup, the combat is as bad as I remember it being.
