Stronghold 1 is, IMO, the only Stronghold. It is still one of my most favorite games of all time -- probably my 3rd most favorite RTS of all time.

Of course, a good bit of my love for it is nestled in nostalgia, since it's like 11 years old, but I'd be skeptical of anyone (that likes RTS's) who didn't get enjoyment out of it. I'm replaying it, and yeah, there are some things about it that are dated (the gfx, the interface), but it's still damn fun & amusing to play.
What's great about it is that it's solid in both military AND economic methods of strategy. There's a campaign for either style of gameplay, and an extremely robust level editor to boot.

There are merits to playing "good" or "evil" (and oh, the evil things you can do to your people are so very satisfying in a strange way), and the military approach is more defensive, so you have to use a lot more strategy than the simple "make as many units as you can to counter the enemy" style of RTS that, say, Age of Empires offers.

2 & 3 ... Ugh, god damn, such hugely massive disappointments.
They could have just released the same game over again with some graphics/interface overhauls, and it could have been a major hit.
Instead, they fucked 'em 10 ways to Sunday :((((((

Hmm I might check it out then.
Meanwhile, I'm also playing Shogun 2 Total war, I'm doing a Co-Op Campaign with a friend.
God I love the total war series :>

Yeah the Total War games are amazing, I can't wait for Rome 2, it's going to be so fucking good!

Just finished The Amazing Spiderman,

It took me just under 11 hours (10h44m) to finish the game on normal AND get all 700 comic book pages (Like a boss!), there's still some trophies I can get by mopping up doing all the side missions that are left, such as taking the infected people to the hospital, the car chases, races, secret labs and such, but I'll come back to them later I think...

The game was short, the story was pretty meh (Even though it's a sequel to the film, it won't affect what happens in The Amazing Spiderman 2 at all...), the inside sections were pretty boring, but the combat wasn't too bad, and the free roam is still REALLY fun, just swinging around not doing much, lol...

I'll probably spend another 2-3 hours or so doing the side missions sometime later, and redo the first chapter of the game (There's a chapter select so you can't miss any trophies, except difficulty ones ofcourse) to kill the boss without touching the floor for a nice silver trophy, it's actually VERY easy to do, I just pressed the wrong button to start swinging again (I pressed R1, which is web rush, instead of R2 (Swing button) which made me zip straight to the floor because I was really high up and facing downwards), so yeah it's easy enough anyway. I'll not be getting the platinum though, simply because I can't be arsed with a second playthrough completely (On a harder difficulty) and you have to take a photo of every enemy type on the game, no thanks. But everything else I'll be able to get, so I'll only be missing a few trophies at the end of it all.

I'm not sure what game to play next lol...

BRAWL

GRAB YOUR WII MOFUKERS LETS PLAY SOME SMASH

I gave you my reason why the answer is no!

http://projectm.dantarion.com/about/
do this
it doesnt have every character yet but it makes the game so much better
its like melee 2.0

this might make brawl worthwhile to play

It does I think it's better than melee
they destroyed peach in brawl so I gotta use that ~

project m is ok, it makes the game a bit too fast paced (but gay tripping is out and WDing is easier)

brawl is meant to be a bit slower, they are two different games.

i prefer brawl though, melee is also good.

I like Brawl better because Snake is in it, everyone calls me gay for using him because nobody likes him apparently, but he's pretty cool to use...

oh im all about fast paced
it doesnt matter though my wii motor went out this morning so :c

jason people who rage over snake are fucking faggots ignore them

final fantasy 3 (ds version) for android. which ports surprisingly well. this could start a revolution. or not.

they should just realse a normal 2d nes version of it... i cant stand the ds version :x giving the onion kids names... square enix you are monsters

I was currently playing Super Mario World 2 and Game & Watch Gallery series.

I discovered my original gameboy is dead. I tried putting batteries in it and gave it to my 20month old niece. She put it to her ear like it was a phone; so cute.

I'm not playing anything at the moment.

i just hit my 3000th trophy today... such a happy day T.T and i also just hit lvl 18!

Downloading FFIX and Record of Agarest war.

I liked having FF8 on my ps3 so I decided put FF9 on there too since I can only get the disks to play if I line them with tape first. Figured I'd download something new while I was at it.

Agarest war is some kind of tactical rpg/dating sim. It spans 3 generations so you play as the son of the previous generation. The protagonist appearance and abilities depend on which female companion you chose in the previous generation. Sounds cool except they called it the "soul breed system"

The last game I played was Tales of the Abyss with Star. :X

Sorry Jay-Jay...

I didn't enjoy it, though as doing anything with Star is a bit awkward now. He keeps changing his mind on me, I swear...

So you're still living with him despite not being together? Yeah I can imagine that being SO awkward, lol

Yeah, I'm waiting for my best friend to say whether or not I can stay with her...

i played Resonance ... an indie game made with Adventure Game Studio, sold on Steam for $7.

it is very low-res! actually so much so, it is jarring enough to take a bit to get used to. but it doesn't look bad.
the voice acting is actually kind of surprisingly good, too. it was a liiittle rough in the beginning, but pretty good once the game gets going.
the story was VERY well written. like, surprisingly so. wasn't expecting it to be so good.

the gameplay mechanics are ... a little rough. the adventure system mechanics are pretty interesting though. i know the constraints of AGS, so it's really impressive, considering what they had to work with. but the movements are very slow, and unfortunately, though many of the mechanics are fresh and clever, i found myself forced to consult walkthroughs several times, because the leaps of logic were far too obtuse in relation to the systems. not TOO bad though, still very playable.

anyway, my rating is: buy. it's a very cute little game, and it's not like it's expensive :)

I'm playing EVE while my friend plays the Dust 514 beta. Yay synergy :D

Doing my own take of a class-based Terraria PvP map. You should all come and play whenever we get a PvP night set up. I need help balancing this shit.

Star Ocean 3, just save stated on a code that I had put in.

playing some sound shapes on my vita

Is it fun because it looks fun x;
I just don't know if I should

if theres a demo id try it out

Just finished Alter Aila Genesis


Okay by finished I mean story I'm probably 5% of total game and secrets completion fssssssssss
Dear shitting lord there are so many goddamn secrets. I have like no clue how to do anything, either. Also wish the story didn't end on such a note, although it ended awesomely how it did.




Replaying/refinishing Tales of Eternia on expse. It's absolutely ASTOUNDING how many secrets I missed the first (couple) times I played through it, and I got past level 100 + 9999 hp + 999 tp on various characters. From secret bosses to dungeons to skills (what hell those skills) to lens (although I knew) to just STUFF.
Once I finish it I'll redo it on hardcore mode for the challenge. It's gonna be massively hard with little payoff, but hey, that's what grinding is for.



Prototype 2. For some reason I don't find it as fun as prototype 1. Something about movement feels clunkier. :F




Played a little bit more of super meat boy. Fun. Just not all my style for more than 10 minutes.





I plan to play some of Starless Umbra, Destiny's Blades, Everlong (storymode naturally fuque th9at grind), and The Way (mostly story mode). Rm2k3 greats, classics, and even a unique failure in there. Brainstorming/stealing various puzzles and ideas from those to get inspired and use them in the game I'm developing, as well as see how they implemented the extras into theirs.
