[General Discussion] What are you currently playing?

At the moment, I'm playing a lot WoW. It's been a bit more than a year now and I just love the immersion, the freedom to chose what i do: PvP, Pve, raiding, working on my professions. Even if a lot of people say that it really become for hardcore gamers only, i think that the extension has made it pretty much open a lot of options for all kind of gamers from casual to hardcore. The equippement is available with equal quality through pve and pvp and i just find outland awesome. I also love the fact that it stays "cartoon-like" and doesn't try to make it realistic like the faces of the characters in LOTRO...

Stalker - shadow of chernobyl : Ok, so this is the big brand new FPS and i just couldn't resist to put my hands on it. I'm not realy into FPS where you have to follow the story with little choice in the point-of-view of the progression of your adventure. Here, you are given a few quests, a background and it's up to you to discover the land, to complete missions in the order you define. The first thing that hits you in the game is the ambiance, heavy and dark but without darkness. What i mean is that they don't need to place you into a tunnel infested with zombies, to turn off the light and to add demoniac sounds to frighten you (doom3)... The landscapes, the npcs, all contribute to create a feeling of insecurity. On the downside, i have to admit that i'm not such a great fan of those realistic faces full of geometrical textures. Yes, i know, i'm talking about 95% of pc new games, but that's just the way it is, it breaks my immersion when i'm facing those "real-lookalikes". Also, the npcs talk to me in russian or, how can they understand me if i speak english? Those are details compared to the hugeness of the game and the universe created and i'm sure i'll have hours of fun with Stalker, i just won't reach the level of immersion i expected.

Titan Quest: I gave a new try to the immortal throne and unlike the first time, i really enjoyed it. I felt more into the story but anyway, after a few hours, i just started to lose my interest. I'm sure that after a few hours of pause, i could have been going on, but i was already busy with something else and didn't felt like coming back to Titan Quest. It has all of a good Hack-n-slash, nice graphs, nice progression, excellent gameplay so why couldn't i hook on it?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
