@blue_hazy_basic: I'd have to check, but I probably didn't get Civ 5 until quite a while after it released. I had to buy a GPU to run it, as my onboard Intel was not up to the task.
In fact, I had to weasel my way into a "Power" PC from my employer as a WAH machine just to play it. I just wish they would let me put a 64-bit OS on the damned thing so I could put some decent guts in it. 4gb RAM, 250 watt PS...I'm pretty limited in what I can do with it.
Got no major gripes about 'this gen' but I play all my games on PC.
Apart from AAA developers being lazy bastards and not carrying out proper QA. To much of "release it anyway we can always patch it" and not enough pride in their work.
Yeah I'm getting that vibe, but it's still not the same. My main thing is I wanted to the story to continue right off the end of KOTOR II. But I'll keep going though, I know the beginnings of any RPG can be a bit boring, so once I'm well into it my opinion may change. Gameplay does feel like it though, I just wish I could travel with a AI party that I could talk too and level up and fight beside me like the originals or like in Mass Effect/Dragon Age. (maybe you can and I just haven't gotten to it yet), doubt about the leveling them up part though. I really just started it the other night, so in a few weeks I may have a completely different opinion lol.
You get companions later on. Most have backstorys and personalities comparable to those in the KotOR games. You just get to take one with you instead of two.
And typical BioWare style, you get the opportunity to romance some of them.
Yeah, I remember them saying that that's the case. All the plot lines sound great, but maybe the resurgence of popularity of Star Wars will get Bioware to change their mind. A man can dream. :P
And I only own Mac products so I'm unfortunately up shit creek if I want to play The Old Republic. I hope you continue to have fun though!
It's not available on MAC? Wow, I had no idea. That royally sucks.
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl with the Complete mod, my second venture with this mod.
Do you experience Bethesda-style stutter with this mod in certain locations? Like coming up to the first bridge after starting, the game with this mod always freezes for like 3 seconds while it loads the area. Doesn't do so with vanilla, maybe I need to reinstall the mod.

Yep! Such is life. :P

@Zassimick: Run to your Wii U or gamestore and get Woolly World. You'll thank me later.
I have my Blue Yarn Yoshi Amiibo! I have too much to play at the moment, but I'll be checking it out sometime. My wife uses a ton of yarn with her crochet projects so she's interested in it.

@bforrester420: My work comp runs it. No excuses :P
(granted I have to run most of it on min specs to play on huge worlds)
I think the PC I had at home before I talked them into a Power PC was really weak. I don't recall the processor, but I want to say it was a Pentium III with only 1 GB of RAM, was completely incapable of running 5. It ran Civ IV okay, but was well below the specs for V.
I didn't want to build a new PC because the only game I really wanted to play on PC was Civ V, so I couldn't talk myself into spending $500+ for just one game.

No, i never had a problem with Shadow of Chernobyl, regardless of the mods i used. Though stuttering issues were plenty on Call of Pripyat.
It's pretty close to a bad game. There isn't really a whole lot to the combat system, the level design is dull as ****, the story is typical square garbage. I'm mostly giving it enough rope before I just say **** it and trade it in for xenoblade. Square hasn't made a good game since The World Ends With You, haven't played last remnant but guilty till proven innocent.
I'd say that's the first game I've "powered through" in atleast 5 years. The game starts ok and just continues on a downward slope of tedious combat and boring story.
