What Game Are You Playing At The Moment?

In fact, the company behind it is going through the British equivalent of chapter 11 bankruptcy. There has been very little moderation and hacking has become a bit of a problem.

The real problem, though, is the whining and crying from the other players. People take the game WAY too seriously and get pissed about every little thing. The annoyance of playing with and against these people isn't worth what fun I get out of the game -- at least not lately.

Edit: I just read you're from England. RTW (the developer) is in what you guys call "administration", I guess.

Ah I see. I played the beta and didn't like it. The creator was nice though, shame to see RTW go down. That's the problem with massively multiplayer games - the people.

They're swearing up and down the walls that the company will be fine, and to their credit they've pushed out quite a few patches that actually changed the gameplay dynamics quite a bit from the beta versions. But when you're on one of only two North American servers, during peak weekend gaming times, and the entire server population is under a thousand, it makes you wonder how long it really has left.

I have game time up until the middle of October (earned by selling items in game), so I'll probably play a few hours a week until then, but I'm not sure if I see myself continuing to subscribe past that unless people calm the fuck down.

Decided on playing through FF3 (or 6 depending on how you number it), been a long time since my last play through.

I have also been playing boarderlands alot, its fun but the ending sucked, no end game and the difficulty scaling is bad (I spend quite alot of the game at too high a level to be challanged), don't get me wrong I liked the game and it and its DLC for £14 was good value but some parts fell flat.

One of my roommates, his girlfriend and I were having some beer when the girlfriend mentions Just Dance....and I'd never really heard of it, seen it, but wasn't sure how it's played or anything about it...to which she insisted we play...so we did and

HOLY BALLS, maybe the drinking helped, but this game is pretty damn fun.

Good job Wii, add this to your tally of few good things you've done.

My gf and I are considering to split the cost of Kinect and Dance Central. This game looks awesome.

Does this look like its worth 200$ of fun?

[Space Indaver]

Totally not worth the money, but Dance Central would make for an awesome day in an arcade.

TONY: In our cafe/bar/arcade of awesome, there will be dance-offs to solve disputes.

In a dark room with the curtains drawn, yeah. Then again, I'm a recovering DDR addict.
