ITs Friday 8/10/07 - what are YOU playing?

Gunnin' through BGDA2 in co-op. We're near the end, and using haste pretty much 100% of the time. It's so nice playing one of these console dungeon-crawlers on fast-forward. My girlfriend used the import-loop cheat (still not disabled in BGDA2!) to cheat us up a bunch of money for some kickass item crafting.

Finished my games and wrote up my reports for the Civ4 Beyond the Sword games I was playing for Realms Beyond and the Civ4 HOF.

Installed and started revisiting Crusader Kings before the expansion hits. Paradox games are so great. I've never done the 'export your finished CK game to EU2' (which you can then export to Victoria and Hearts of Iron) so I might try that this time just to say I did it. Also started a new game as Portugal in EU3.

Going to reinstall and play System Shock 2 this week, I think. Shouldn't take me more than nine or so hours given I know every nook and cranny about that game at this point.

I'm 50 hours into Baten Kaitos Origins. I think I'm finally close to the end.

Question - LTD does Shenmue seem/feel more impressive than Yakuza.

I havent played Shenmue for a long time, and dont have the means - but I remember Yakuza being less impressive.

I haven't been playing my DS much lately. I'm still at the beginning of the second stratum in Etrian Odyssey.

Besides the DS - what else takes your play time?

BKO, JSRF, and a whole backlog of games for the PS2 (mainly rpgs and adventure games). I really need to stop buying PS2 games...

yeah Shenmue has a lot more polish than Yakuza. Yakuza does have a lot of detail and all but something just feels a bit off about the game. I'd imagine if Id played Shenmue back when it came out I'd have been blown away
