The big problem is that certain professions are a huge pain in the ass to level, forcing huge horrible grinds or spending thousands of gold at the auction house.

In addition, instances are actually HARD now. Meaning that you will be dragged into wipe after wipe by the failboats that refuse to learn if you do random instances.

Honestly, most of these problems will likely be fixed in a few months with patches and nerfs to instances so if you were gonna play, maybe hold off a bit.

EVERYTHING ELSE the expansion did was AWESOME, though.

I'm playing Spelunky and Transfomice with a sprinkle of Torchlight

I honest to god am so ADD when it comes to playing video games. I legit. am playing too many to count.

Recently I've been enjoying the Samurai Warriors series. If only because it's a nice way to cut bunches of people apart when I'm ticked off. That and I really like the character designs for some of the characters. I want to start playing through God of War since I just bought the first and second. (What can I say, if I can smash things really hard I like it.) Then there's also Super Mario Bros. which I began playing again. I'm mostly playing that because a) it's fun and b) it makes me nostalgia hard.

I just beat Half-Life and Blue Shift and Opposing Force and Half-Life 2 and Episode One. Now I'm playing Episode 2 and finishing the first Quake and kinda starting Quake II.

I want the Doom & Unreal packs now that they're on sale on Steam but I don't know if I can afford it.

As soon as you finish Episode 2 you can join the rest of us grinding our teeth for Episode 3/HL3 for the next three years

Oh right I've been playing City of Heroes and I did the thing where I let a buddy resub me so I got like an entire month free which is super ridiculous

I just hope Episode 2 doesn't suck as much as Episode 1. Episode 1 was mainly just a bunch of frustrations chained together. I kind of wish HL2 and it's episodes were just more expansions for HL1, that would've been more fun. No stupid zombies and gravity guns and escorting and crap.

Currently playing Harmony of Dissonance...never thought I'd see a commercial game with a slow-rising elevator room, complete with spike platforms and ghosts. Way to go Konami.

Nah it's really a pretty fun game, that segment was just weird.

You haven't played any Capcom games, have you.

They LOVE that shit.

Only Okami and bits of a couple Megamans. Okami doesn't have any of that nonsense, but Megaman is total bullshit so I'd believe it.

Which Mega Man games are you playing? Certain ones do go a bit too far in silliness.

Also, I finished Sonic Advance 2 recently. I need to produce and upload the proof though.

Associating the word "bullshit" with Mega Man pretty much makes me think of Mega Man 9 or Mega Man 10.

I've played about 10 minutes of 1, and the first stage and a half or so of Megaman & Bass. The latter wasn't too bullshitty until the disappearing blocks bit, but I wouldn't be surprised if all my problems are due to my own incompetence; Metroidvanias and RPGs are really more my thing.

Super Meat Boy, Dragon Quest 9

I'm finally getting around to playing the first Uncharted game. I'm not the best at it, that's for sure, and I'm only playing on Normal difficulty.

Golden Sun - Dark Dawn
pretty good so far :)

Finished Uncharted on normal difficulty with all the treasures. I enjoyed it, but I hear the sequel is supposed to be much better... which I'm now playing. How about that?

No, that might be more because of the games you chose ^^. MM&Bass is pretty much the definition of bullshit, and MM1 is...well, OLD. And it shows. The difficulty is REALLY all over the place.

But yeah, Capcom love elevators. Gyro Man (two!), Shade Man, Boomer Kuwanger, that's three I could think of in three seconds, countless more and all stupid.

Started CV: Chronicles today...not my favorite CV but it's pretty fun. Replaced the bullshit controls and knockback (no more jumping back eight feet because of a bat in your hair! yay!) of CV1 with actual difficulty, which is kinda nice, though I can't just blame horrible old controls and knockback for causing all my problems anymore.

Currently, I'm playing Tales of Graces F.

been playing the bejeezus out of Garry's mod lately, and taking it old school with some Ashen Empires.
other than that, a little knights of the old republic here and some Mount and blade there.

I am beating Portrait of Ruin then I will decide which of my other games to play (someone play Dead Rising 2 with me)

Also City of Heroes but I have people in that to play wif

lucky you, none of my friends play AE with me, so i'm soloing alot of the game.

Mushihime-sama, Death Smiles, and...yeah.

As you can see, I play a wide variety of games.

Twilight Princess and Chrono Trigger DS.

Totally cutting edge games i know
