Yeah, you can still use mods and console commands on the Steam version.

I'm playing a reasonably modded game at the moment. One to avoid the autosave bug, a decent pile to remove a lot of the console-friendly features/restrictions, one to make companions less talkative in Dead Money, and one slight alteration to Lonesome Road. The only real major mod I use is a rebalance mod created by the game's lead designer. He'd said that he was surprised at the number of complaints that New Vegas was too hard in comparison to Fallout 3, and his mod makes the game a good deal more difficult.

I have no problem with Obsidian as a developer. I thought New Vegas was really good and I didn't face any major bugs when I was playing it on PC.

Although I didn't care for Alpha Protocol. Felt too much like a meh Deus Ex ripoff. Dungeon Siege III had solid mechanics but I lost interest fast because I didn't care for the story or the world. Not Obsidian's fault on that one.

I liked Alpha Protocol. It was fun, and I could finish it on easy. It had colorful, interesting characters.

I think I would have preferred New Vegas over Fallout 3, if the Vegas strip had actually been bigger and more interesting. I had several quests go buggy on me as well. I probably relied on a guide too much and felt just strung along by the story as well. Wasn't much sense of discovery. The feel of being a rogue operator and turning all three sides against each other wasn't really succesfull either.

See, I was kinda disappointed by Human Revolution. My favourite memory of the original game (aside from the ICARUS HAS FOUND YOU bit) was the first time I made an enemy explode by remote-detonating a rocket he had just launched at me. That was some really sweet-ass shit, and Human Revolution just had none of that. It had the standard set of abilities - cloaking, faster running, durability - and a "make everything explode" button, but nothing I could really get any enjoyment out of using.

Alpha Protocol's shooting was quite bad and its balance was nonexistent, but I had a lot of fun ing around with chain shot and mass throat-punches and shit.

enjoying xenoblade so far, up to the part where i have to go to colony 6

WTF FIORA WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DIE

the japanese/english stuff confuses me.

japanese: you can call me karna!
english: my name is sharla.

I never did finish even a fraction of colony 6's subquests... Maybe on a new game plus run at some point.

Really enjoying Ni No Kuni, even if the pacing is pretty terrible (can't really capture new familiars until ~ 13 hours in, got 3rd party member ~ 20 hours in...). I'm only about 25 hours in (just got the teleport ability) but I have a depressingly sinking suspicion that the whole thing is just in Oliver's head as a coping mechanism for his mother's death, and that she really is dead and he's retreated into a fantasy world to cope. That's why all of the people in both worlds have "soul mates" that look the same, because its all actually just the real world. Same with all the enemies/familiars being almost entirely based on real life animals or animated objects. Shadaar is actually his father, who in real life is distant due to traveling for work or something, but Oliver blames his absence for his mother's death so when he does come around, he's this mysterious villain (note that at least thus far Shadaar's face hasn't been revealed, making me think Oliver doesn't recognize him because he wasn't around much). Then again I could just think this cuz I just stumbled upon the old "Angelica is crazy" Rugrats theory...

I finally got Tales of Grace f from PlayAsia. I'm going to finish Persona 4 Golden before I get into it. How is Tales of Grace f? I heard so many good things about the Tales series but this is my first Tales game.

Combat is fun, story (before the f arc) is bad.

I love that Rugrats theory, but I don't think Ni No Kuni is going to go that route. That would be way too deep for a RPG.

An SRPG (FFTA) kinda went that route.

Yeah, but nobody liked that game.

That game had a story?

Wasn't that made apparent at the beginning of the game though?

And besides, it was some stupid side character that nobody cared about.

Much like all the other characters.

Third or fourth dungeon in Persona 2. Collecting cards is tedious though. Of course, the catch 22 is that if you collect the cards (as opposed to fighting the battles and leveling), you're not a high enough level to use the cards.

Playing ys; seven, legend of heroes: trails in the sky and persona 3 ATM. Can't put my vita down for a minute.

Too bad none of those games are Vita games.

There are Vita games? I thought the vita was just a way to play P4 Golden and PSP games on a slightly bigger screen?

You kind of answered your own question there.
