I'm happy you enjoyed my recommendation! Especially since it was such a big milestone. :)

Yeah, apparently the real ending only happens when you collect all the scrolls (which is a big part of the game). I missed a few myself and didn't take the time to backtrack and find the others yet.

I think I can mark Stardew Valley as completed.

I'm not at 100%, because I didn't catch every single fish and didn't find everything for the museum. But I have a farm with all buildings, a fully upgraded house, a beautiful wife and a cute son, most people in town love me and the ghost of my grandfather came back and gave me the statue of perfection.

I spent more than 75 hours with this game and I loved every minute. Will keep it on my HDD and return from time to time (and maybe get the stuff that I'm still missing).


Now I need a new game and I'm in the mood for a TBS game:

Hard West
Braveland Pirate
Shadow Watch
Disciples: Sacred Lands Gold
Invisible Inc.
Fantasy General
Xenonauts
Battle Isle
Expeditions: Conquistador
S2: Silent Storm Gold Edition
Jagged Alliance
Freedom Force
Omerta: The Japanese Incentive
Eador: Genesis
Blackguards
Legends of Eisenwald
Elven Legacy

How about Expeditions: Conquistador I've heard good things about this game, and I'm planing to buy it after I beat my backlog. You can tell me if its worth it :)

Challenge accepted. I will install it tomorrow and post my progress and my impressions in this thread.

I've played GTA4 but could not finished because of bad key responses on car chase and annoying telephone calls :)
Recently I finished S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat, both games were exceptionally good.
So I recommend to play this game.

Challange accepted! S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl shall it be :)

First progress update on Expeditions: Conquistador:

I've played for a while and learned the basics. Technically the game isn't perfect (the animations are not really smooth and look somehow strange), but the writing is very good.

You have to make a lot of decisions and it's interesting that in many cases you can avoid a fight and use diplomacy instead. To be honest, my only fights so far were training fights with other soldiers. I'm not entirely sure if that is a good strategy though, because the fights give you XP that you can use to upgrade your soldiers and I don't think you get the same XP when you avoid a fight (but I'm not completely sure).

The turn-based battles are pretty much standard (there's nothing I haven't seen in other games before), but the accuracy of the long-range attacks seemed to be a little odd. One of my hunters missed eight 80% shots in a row. Not sure if that's normal or if I was just extremely unlucky.

Will keep on playing tomorrow.

Progress update on Expeditions: Conquistador:

Game got a little harder and it's no longer possible to resolve every situation with diplomacy. Battles so far weren't very hard though and I was able to win most of them without any losses.

But this changed with the "Sacrifice" mission. I've tried four or five times by now and lost this battle every time. Normally I wouldn't care and keep on playing, but I really want to save the character in question, because it's one of two characters I really like.

With no nearly no cover and two opponents more than my own party I probably have to come up with a new strategy. Will try to build several traps before the fight and hope that I can get rid of 2-3 ememies before they even get near my soldiers.

Besides that I still like the game even if it is a little more linear than I thought it would be.

Progress Update on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC

I've managed to beat the game.
At first, I must confess that I didn't liked it very much (I started it last year and played 20 minutes or so) but after 1-2 hours I started to like it more and more. I felt it was like a combination betwen Metro 2033(atmosphere) and Fallout (weapons, armor, the dialogue).

I would give this game a 9/10 (there were some bugs)

If anyone wants to pick my next game, here is the list:

Retail:
Hitman: Blood Money
XIII

GOG:
Spelunky
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers - 20TH aniversary edition

Steam:

Amnesia: The Dark Descent
AquaNox
Black Mirror
Bound by Flame
Broken Sword 2
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified
Company of Heroes
Darksiders II
Dead Space 2
Duke Nukem Forever
Deus Ex Human Revolution( not the Director's Cut version)
Dustforce
Fortix 2
Grand Theft Auto IV
GRID
Jet Set Radio
LIMBO
Multiwinia
Psychonauts
Risen
Civilization V
Spec Ops: The Line
Terraria
Thief Gold

I would suggest that you play Limbo next. It's something completely different and I really liked the atmosphere and the bizarre world.

Should take very long to complete the game though, it's quite short.

Challenge accepted ! My next game will be LIMBO.

Mini update on Expeditions: Conquistador:

I found out about the usefulness of spike traps and oil lamps. Especially the latter are extremely powerful weapons that are not only doing damage, but also can block narrow passages.

Using these I was able to win the "Sacrifice" mission without any losses. I will try to play the rest of the game without reloading lost fights (hope there won't be many).

It's great to see you all making progress in your games ;-)
Unforunately, I currently do not have much time to progress in Baldur's Gate - The Original Saga, but I hope this will change in the future!

Progress update on LIMBO

This is another game with a great atmoshpere. Although the only clue about the story is in the game description and its name, I like the fact that you need to pay attention to the environment to find out the story (similar to Dark Souls).
