Torchlight 1/2 are actually really good for this on normal settings, you basically just button mash/click and loot flies everywhere.

Well, I took things slowly and where I live I don't have a bloody moment of peace so probably cut my 7 hours to 4-5 if you can allocate a weekend or some nights, maybe even 3 hours if you rush with a walkthrough so you can quickly achieve the biomass objectives.

Just finished Mass Effect 2...I might just be easy to please, but I don't understand any of the complaints. Beat the final mission without losing anyone.
On to part 3. I'm going to pick up the Citadel DLC. Any other additional stuff worth buying?

For the same reason the "Complete Lego Collection" gets away with not including any of the Star Wars Lego games.
That is to say, no one knows.

Fuck me, didn't see that, gave them 3$ and activated RO2 already.
edit: Phew, RO2 is uncut despite my German IP.
I'm hoping black keys+pearl jam gets pushed back a week here in argentina since it's raining like the world's end and I'm pretty sick already to die of hypothermia.
Torchlight 1/2 could work a suggested. Also Just Cause 2 if you haven't played it. Maybe Shatter, but you'd miss out on the cool music and it requires focus to do well.
I can play Trials HD/Evolution for hours with a podcast or custom soundtrack. It's better without the in-game music anyways.

Almost every Tower Defense / horde mode stuff is generally good for this as well.
Guys, I can't handle the suspense.
I have been waiting for Halo 3 or MGSV PC announcement.
If either happens, I think I will have a heart attack, but especially Halo. The signs are pointing towards an inevitable MGSV release.
I want to play this game so bad with KB/M at 1080p+/60fps+.
Playing through the whole game, multiplayer, and maybe even Firefight with my college friends, people I grew up with, and you guys on GAF.
I just can't handle it, I literally think about how awesome it would be daily.

Yeah it's surprisingly good.
Yeah I listen to the internet radio in the game all of the time. It would work just as great with a podcast. It brings an atmosphere close to real driving in that sense.
Imagine if you were waiting for HL3....

Uhh, Steam down for anyone else?
Yep, it be dead. I have to say, they have been pretty bad about stability and uptime for the past few days. I can't load the store half of the time or I'm missing half of all the images.

You'll be disappointed to know that neither of them will have a pc release.
Not officially.
There is some evidence pointing to both releases, its more circumstantial evidence for both and nothing definitive yet.
I don't know if you are actually ignorant of the evidence, or if you are trolling or what.
Terraria comes to mind obviously, but I suspect you've already played that one 'til you were sick of it (who hasn't, after all).
Did you play ME1 before? ME2 "fixed" its issues by removing the controversial elements ("controversial" is not the proper word, but I can't think of a better one), and turning it into a shooter. But it still had some exploration elements, meanwhile ME3 threw everything into the toilet and delivered a mech shooting game (let's not talk about the ending, please).
I didn't. 19 minutes was all I could take. I can't bring myself to learn all the complicated stuff.

All that complicated stuff in Terraria huh?
Sounds like you probably focus test modern games lol
The X-com thread is dead so I will ask these questions here.
Is there a way to see your current "objective" besides when leaving on a mission? I see it sometimes shows up on the council room type area.
If you do not complete your objective which for example could be researching some new tech, can you just scan for aliens and play missions for essentially forever? Basically just play random battles and level up until you feel like progressing the story?

Yeah, as far as I can tell, you can play indefinitely with random events.
Badly done auto-generated terrain is one of my major pet peeves, and ME1, along with Mount and Blade and Rome: Total War were some of the biggest offenders. And the physics-defying APC vehicle didn't help matters.
I thought of some funny ones.

Call of Duty 4

Reminds me of playtesters during Dishonored
Source: http://www.lazygamer.net/xbox-360/without-clues-dishonored-was-too-difficult/
Yup. I couldn't manage to complete the tutorial, not knowing which button to press to do something I don't remember now, and I decided the game wasn't for me.
Weird, driving around in the Mako was my favorite part of the game, along with first 5 hours at the Citadel (well, make it 4 hours; the first one was at Eden Prime). There's a sense of peace when exploring an unknown planet, taking in those beautiful skyboxes and vistas. Until you get eaten by a furious Thresher Maw, that is.
I'd love a game consisting of nothing but a selection of finely crafted planets for exploration, and a Mako with a little tweaked driving system (but not too much, I genuinely enjoyed it as is). And a Citadel where I can talk to every NPC and learn about the lore and different races and history.
"I don't want to live anymore."
F.E.A.R. 3
And suicide is a totally valid option after
I've got 17 hours played. It's kinda zen-like.
That game is a few mods from amazing.
Oh man how sad. One of the best parts of playing a game is trying to 'break' it.

So if I already have the Synergies mod for TL2 via ModDB, will things get screwed up if I subscribe to it via the Workshop?

Don't players know the first thing you do in sandbox games is run around everywhere and see what happens.
That Dishonored quote cracked me up for some reason, and half made me sad. I mean I guess it's expected since some games could use NPCs as absolute path blockers ("You can't go into this pokemon gym until [plot event].") But still, I get this mental image of someone playing Dishonored, and some guard says they can't go upstairs, and the person just makes the "Okay." meme face.

On that mission in Dishonored, I found out who the target was by talking to people downstairs, then I went and looted the upstairs anyway, just because.
Open world/sandbox games are for kleptomaniacs to let off some steam, just like shooters are for aggressive people!
I have no idea what I'm saying
If you are Sober, than who is drunk?
So Fuel is actually a pretty competent racer. Not only competent, but also fun. I don't know how much that fun will last, but after 70 minutes of playing I'm left with a great first impression. The vehicles feel really good, it's extremely arcadey, and I really dig how they drift. And the music is great too.
Not even the disgusting combo of SecuROM + GFWL can bring it down. I can't wait to play more of it tomorrow.

Man, I forgot it had SecuROM. And GFWL voice chat is horrible, we used to play with a Steam chatroom open and Steam voice chat.
Speaking of which, anyone up for a FUEL run this weekend? Lonely wilderness drives in the rain shall return! I reinstalled, and someone linked me to the improvement mod, but I haven't played it again. And for anyone who doesn't know, there is a registry change that lets you easily supersample, but I think if you do that FRAPS may not take screenshots correctly.
I am, I am! Let me unlock a couple of zones more during the week, and I'll be able to join you and whoever else wants to play. Or are all the zones unlocked during online play?
And a little question: is the name FUEL, all in caps, or just Fuel?

Yes, it's a good game. Great atmosphere to its world too. Is it on sale somewhere?
All zones are NOT unlocked for teleportation online, which is one of the things that makes getting a group together difficult. Once most of us had gotten the unlocks and vantage points near the starting area, it got tough since we'd have to describe on voicechat which helipad people should try to teleport in on, and then we would drive from there. Having the first few areas unlocked should help for sure though. You can drive even in unlocked areas, but if I recall correctly it may not give you hint indicators in those other areas...or maybe you get indicators but not map markers.
And the game is FUEL TM if you want to be ultra correct, I guess.
And as I said before, for people playing singleplayer, make sure you play the tornado races!
Not anymore, but it was on GMG up until 1 or 2 days ago, for $2.72 (with a 20% off code). That's when I got it.
That sucks, they should unlock when playing online. I don't know which helipads are you talking about, so maybe I haven't unlocked any yet. And yes, I plan on playing every race (until I get bored), so I'll make sure to play the tornado races.All zones are NOT unlocked for teleportation online, which is one of the things that makes getting a group together difficult.

It'd be cool if we didn't have a big self-congratulatory "you're ruining the industry" festival every time someone mentioned finding a game too complex for their taste.
That being said...
Dishonored's mission design was really boring and simple in spots, and that ball is the highlight of silliness. You can solve that mission in about thirty seconds if you skip the duel outside. The game really could've used some more complicated or dense missions.
