Finished Assassin's Creed (original, gog version).

Pros
Long gameplay, nice graphics, interesting story and ending, beautiful atmosphere, nice voice acting and music.

Cons
Quite boring and repetitive missions (eavesdrop, interrogate, pickpocket, save civilians and assassinate). Always the same and nothing more.
Performance left much to be desired. A 2007 game lags and crashes even today and controls are horrible and half-assed. Altair will jump back in 90% when you just want to climb up and he will lock on anyone but then one you need. That's what happens when they port console games to pc.

Assassins Creed II is so much better. Assassins Creed is only a prototype.

After finishing RAGE, I'm now playing Trine. And it's actually quite fun. Prefer the Thief due to agility, Wizard is cool for hard to reach places, but i hardly ever use the warrior. Usually only when the thief is dead for whatever reason :D

I've played Bloodlines on PSP and it was amazing. I'd happily play Assassins Creed II + Brotherhood + Revelations as well but unfortunately there's no gog version. I never pirate video games and I hate steam/uplay and other online crap lol I can only wish for gog version to play Ass Creed series properly. (don't wanna play console versions either)

Before the Xmas vacation I tried playing all of Bioshock games as I never had a chance to play them all, and they're just sitting there on my steam library, finished the games within 6 hours each and had a blast! especially the last one, the story was spectacular. Bought the Infinite DLCs but haven't got the chance to play them yet.

after it I played The Forest for a bit, had fun, then thought I should wait more for more features to come.

Recently I just finished Dragon Age: Inquisition.. took more hours than I expected it to, and that's good. I played like almost 10 hrs a day and played for 6 days, so around 50-60 hours. What's interesting is I just played on easy mode, only played the main quests, companion quest and some side-quests that doesn't require too much de-tour. All this Just for the story. Completionists and even average players would easily get 100+hrs out of this

Right now I'm playing Kerbal Space Program, they just updated to beta version and I checked it out. Sucked me back in the game, great new features and awesome batch of mods.

When I'm not playing KSP I play Dota or NBA 2k15

Finished Zeno Clash 1 and 2. Not a fan. Found them repetitive and the story was kinda lame, I didn't get into it at all. Break from FPS I guess, but just wasn't a fan.

Have a big list to play next. Bought all Dishonored DLC, kinda want to go through and play that again and all the DLC, but should finish some other games first.

Might start TWD.

Many way more modern and advnaced games run so much faster than Rage. Weird. Must be OpenGL thing I guess.
As far as I could test OpenGL is as fast as DirectX (if not faster) if properly used.

If the game is incredibly slower on OpenGL then there is something wrong or it is using more advanced features that requires more processing power.

Been Playing shadow warrior...well I should rephrase I actually started with the viceral cleanup crew not knowing what it was, I had all 3 rooms clean before I realized it was the entire point of the game... But yeah love easter eggs in games especially ones you wouldn't even think about. Go afk while on a bridge, come back...hey it's Godzilla. Kill a rabbit only to have it turn into a vicious shadow bunny, all kinds of hard reset references, and of course the throwback tribute areas (one per level) all are awesome adds to the game.

Love it when game devs just get to run free without big brother stopping them.
