What are you playing right now?

[Jub3r7]

Yeah, true that. I'm more of an offensive trainer than a strategic trainer.

Well, we all were, once.

But in the top rankings, when everyone is as strong as the other, offense doesn't matter anymore....

Just beat all of MarioKart Wii in one night, I'm at the point where I just unlocked Mirror Mode. Sleep deprivation really makes this game easy.

Been playing Mount&Blade: Warband for some time now. Quite a fun game, and a rare case of a medieval RPG with no fantasy elements whatsoever. Wonderful.

In short, you start the game as some guy/gal who has gone to the region of Calradia to seek fortune and adventure. The six kingdoms there are in constant opposition to each other, and if no wars break out for a month, that month is an unusually quiet one. Like many other RPGs, you meet and hire companions on your way, assemble a small army (which can be about four hundred man strong, if you devote a lot of time to raise the size limits), and learn different skills.

The battle system is, in my opinion, the best part of the game. You start a battle with a weapon in hand, shield is optional, and two other weapons sheathed (bow and arrows counts as two). The mechanic is simple: hold the mouse button down to raise the weapon, let the button go to hit. Aiming is so-and-so, based on your mouse movements. With a heavy weapon, hit from horseback, even a low-level noob can one-hit-kill a high-level player if he hasn't got his guard up. Though, you deal more damage at higher levels, but all in all, levels have little to say for a skilled player. It gets even more fun when you finally learn to time properly, so you can gallop towards a charging enemy, raise your battleaxe at the last moment, and swing it while riding at full speed, slamming the man to the ground.

Or if you're no good at combat yourself, you can try field commanding. You will partake in battles anyway, but heading straight for the enemy is optional. Instead, you can run/ride around and tell the archers where to stand and when to shoot, tell the infantry to hold ground here or there, or keep the cavalry back until the enemy has spread out to aviod your archer fire. All in all a very fun game.

I've been interested in trying M&B, but that description has just convinced me to buy it.

Playing Minecraft too much for my own good.

^Make sure to get Warband, then, and not just the game named Mount & Blade. The two are similiar, but Warband is actually the "sequel" to M&B. "Sequel" might be the wrong word, though, it can best be described as a stand-alone expansion, adding a new faction, some new heroes, better graphics and more.

[SuperFireKirby]

Isn't Warband an expansion?
