What are you playing? (Redux)

[Syt]

Picked up Mercenaries 2 for a 5er. I expected little, and that's what I get. AI is dumb as bread, graphics don't compare to Bioshock or Crysis. At the same time it's fun to blow shit up (and you can blow up everything), and it has a distinct mindless 1980s action c-movie feel to it.

It's terrible the state they left that game in. The first one was fantastic, and actually required some smart play. The second one is a broken, braindead mess.

Back to Mount & Blade with The Eagle and the Radiant Cross mod. I've played up to lvl 26 with an Ottoman character. I have a nice castle right next to the Spanish Kingdom's capital full of lethal Janissaries, Sipahis and any other Ottoman troop available. My character is fairly weak, I have only advanced a few charisma skills (mostly leadership) in order to field as many soldiers as possible. I'm also just discovering how fast you can level troops with training.
Going against the Tercios is very easy. I just wipe them out with massed projectile volleys, since everyone in the army but a few heavy infantry dudes carries either a firearm (Janissaries) or a bow. Ze Krauts are harder, but I minimize casualties with enough cavalry. Russians give me a lot of grief, they seem to reach my positions very quickly (I guess I could try all cavalry armies with them). Haven't gone against HRE or Pope yet.

I think I'm going to take the lessons learned and start a pseudo-Roman campaign, based on a crapload of Ellisian Pedes heavy infantry and a few Scorridori and companions as auxiliary cavalry.

It's J/F 1944, the Allies are at Falaise and in Calabria. The Russians are attacking a line from stretching from Odessa to Königsberg. The British are in Rangoon with Strat bombers that can reach the NEI Oil, The Americans are on land in the Phillipines, but still haven't retaken Rabul or Truck (yes, they took and then lost Truk), the americans will be out for a while as they need to restock their carriers, since the bulk of US naval aviation was watched by the bulk of US Naval aviators crash into the China Sea from their parachutes. China has surrendered and the Japs have taken Vladivostok. Oslo and Copenhagen are allied as well and Greece and Finland have stayed out of the war.

Slargos is Russia and I am the CW. The race to Berlin in on.

Don't anybody say a fucking thing to even slightly besmirch Wallet In Flames, lest they incur the wrath of Viking's production table.

Apparently my save games disintegrated over night and instead of mission 4 or 5 I'm back at mission 2.

Have you got a PS2 or a non-360 Xbox? The original game was an absolute blast, and didn't have these problems.

Witcher: EE.  So much better than the original.  Especially on hard difficulty.  A totally different game.

No.

I'm also surprised how, an hour or two of net playing time has me at "9% completed".

Finished with Napoleon's Campaigns again. Shoving Wellington up Joesph Bonaparte's ass was a hoot, and always shall remain a hoot.

Trying to find something that doesn't bore me as soon as I boot it up.

10 days and 30+ hours into King's Bounty: The Legend. I'm enjoying it enormously, and am pleasantly surprised that I appear to have somewhere between half and 2/3 of the game left to go.

This summer I plan on reconquering all of the old Persian Empire as the Pahlavan in EB-Alexander.  Am excited.

I should have bought it when it was 10 bucks.
