PC
Just finished: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords and Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich. Both great games all around. KotOR II: TSL slacked way off at the end, but the overall storyline and characters were even better than the first. I spent a good fifty hours playing the one. FFvsTTR is a great game, thought it lacks in some areas.
On pause: Nada.
Now playing: Rome: Total War. I can't get enough of it.
-
Read my signature. (The top part)
-
I've got the Sims 2 in my CD-Drive. I'm not sure when I took it out last.

Hey, how was Freedom Force? I loved the first one. How is the second one? And how long did it take for you to finish in hours?
KOTOR (the original) was just fantastic. I haven't played the second one yet, I heard that the ending was sucky (they ran out of time I have heard from various people) and that doesn't sound good to me.
-
Yeah i just played through KOTOR II and the second half left me with a bad taste in my mouth but the first half i was hooked
I am also playing Sims 2 (which I play EVERY DAY)
-
I fear The Sims. I always think that if I start playing it, I'll never be able to stop, and my grades will get worse than they already are.
-
The big one for me is World of Warcraft -- having a lot of fun with that at the moment. My quasi-main is a late-teens hunter, but I'm an altaholic, so I'm playing several different characters here and there.
I still also log into City of Heroes every once in a while, just for a change of pace and to see what's going on, but it's not very often. Mostly (as alluded to in other threads) I'm keeping the account open to guarantee my slot on City of Villians beta (people with accounts over a year supposedly get in automatically).
In the non-MMORPG arena, it's baseball season, so that primarily means MVP 2005 and Diamond Mind Baseball (no graphics but probably the best statistics engine of any baseball game under the hood). I still play a little Madden football here and there as well.

FFvsTTR was great fun, you'll love it if you liked the first. It took me around twelve to fifteen hours to finish it.
I quite agree with your opinion of the first KotOR. Yes, KotOR II: TSL was rushed, tons of content was cut out. Here's a good article (http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/KOTOR2_The_Incompletion_Controversy_90085.asp) about that (it also includes a link to another article, also, these articles might contain spoilers, so don't so I didn't warn you). Like I stated before though, the overall experience is so awesome, that you keep on comin' back for more, even though you know you'll get heart-broken at the end. ^_^
-
Garry's Mod for Half-Life 2's always an entertaining way to kill time. I've also been replaying through Freedom Fighters a lot. How I love that game. As far as other shooters I'm playing the occasional HL mod (Natural Selection, Day of Defeat) as well as some Counter-Strike: Source. WoW always fills my RPG fix ;)
-
I mostly play Nexus: the Jupiter Incident right now, and Natural Selection mod for Half-life
-
Football Manager 2005 (Worldwide Soccer Manager is its name in the US), but i'm so damn bored of it that it's now more of a chore to pass the time when i'm not out, and i don't get much fun out of it anymore.
And erm... well i don't really play much anymore if i'm honest. For years now i've been looking for "The Game" which will hold my attention for years. The only games that have successfully done so are Age of Mythology (around a year and a bit that lasted), and the Championship Manager series (which i am now bored of...). World of Warcraft was a huge disappointment, similarly Rome: Total War (far too easy). Half-Life 2 has no replay value without mods (which i can't be bothered with) and i've been playing Counter-Strike for years now, and CS: Source is the same thing with increased graphics... woooow.
So yeah... i'm still looking for that game which will last me a long long time. I'm hoping that Spore gives LOTS of replayability, because i really am starting to go off gaming, what with all the disappointments and money wasted on "great games" which have turned out to be nothing more than mediocre, in my opinion. Maybe i'm just growing too old for these sorts of things what with other more important things in my life right now, but i'm always going to be a big kid at heart who loves his video games, whether i'm in my 20s, 30s or 60s... i just hope that video game developers don't keep letting me down.
Sorry, didn't intend to start ranting, but for some reason felt obliged to.
-
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War for the most part.
A little bit of Half-life 2 and Nexus.
Oh, a little bit of Sacrifice if I can find anyone online anymore :P
It's getting harder and harder...

Welcome Crimson, glad you could join us. How is "Act of War"? I have been toying with playing that one. I really love good RTS games, but they are so difficult to find nowadays. That last really good one I played was Warcraft III. But I have heard good things about that game. Let me know what you think.
-
Thanks for the welcome Steve.
As for AoW, I just picked it up last weekend so I really haven't had too much time to run it through the ringer. I did download the demo when it first came out, and although it was limited and full of bugs, the game still looked promising, hence the reason for the purchase. So far from what I have seen the game has a pretty good AI (at least the opposing AI is good). The game has plenty of eye candy. But what it seems to lack is more Units, and special abilities. Perhaps I am too spoiled with the C&C series and all the mods for it. My thoughts at this time, is that the game will probably shine after an expansion pack or two. I'll know more when I have had time to lock myself in the basement and play this game into the ground.
On another note I see you are running Simple Machines Forum, quite an interesting look. One that I have not seen before. I administer several phpBB and Nuke boards. I think I may have to download this forum and Frankenstein some of the features of it with phpBB and Nuke. (missing my evil twisted smiley here) lol!

Yes, I am surprised that not as many people run Simple Machines. Perhaps because it hasn't been around as long as the other boards. But their tools are outstanding and the programming within the boards is by far and away the very best I have ever seen (and I have been programming a long long time). Super clean, tons of comments, and very modular. Really a great job, and it's free (which is nice).
phpBB, Nuke, and vBulletin are okay ... but I like this board better. I have been using it since the beta for other sites and I really like the features and the super-clean look. Definately check it out. Now if they released a CMS as well I would be all set...
-
Now if they would only release a php version of Wildcat, Renegade or Searchlight. I would be set. :o Wrong time era. :D
Serously I will have to take some time and peek through the files of SMF and see how they go about doing things.. I am curious how featured the ACP and MCP is over what I use now.
-
I've been running dry on games lately.
Counter-Strike Source in my spare time~
KotOR II - So far it's pretty good, but I hear nothing but bad things about the ending.

The only other SMF that I recall is the one at AGS (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forum/).
Anyway, what am I playing right now? Well I'm still playing Freespace 2. Just like I've been constantly playing Freespace 2 for the past 6 or so years.
Ever had a game take over your life? I think I'm starting to turn into a Shivan fighter, I'm starting to go a little red and pointy around the edges.
-
Freespace 2 is a game that I really need to get my hands on. The gameplay just sounds so superior in comparison to other space sims.
-
It's the greatest game ever created.
You must get hold of it, maybe a copy from EBay or something. Underdogs version was crap.
When you get it, play through the entire main campaign. Then download the Source Code Project builds and all of the updated media files and play it again.
Then download the multitude of high quality user-made missions and campaigns.
Then sink your teeth into the very flexible and easy mission editor. I think I've just realised why I'm still playing it after nearly 6 years.
-
Well, after hearing about Spore, my interest in The Sims 2 has decreased rapidly... Right now I am messing around with a cute little game.
---------
It's called Stranded. - Full 3d!
You wake up on a 'deserted' island, you have nothing, will you survive or will you succumb to the dangers of the island?
Fun little timewaster, it will waste a lot of time too, making tools, huts, etc.
http://www.unrealsoftware.de/games_...p?name=Stranded
-
404'd!
-
Well:
A little bit of sims 2
And...i think that's it, i never have that time to paly games, because of three reasons:
1. My Career (Which is not the main reason, but still)
2. I'm in the Graphics design world now
3.There is no game that really attracts me right now....
Heat
-
I never have stopped playing Simcity 4 since I got it... well yes I have, but you get the point. ;D Occasionaly, I play my game that I wrote last weekend called Invaders. It's nowhere near good enough for public release yet.
-
Sims 2 at the moment.
-
Mainly Counter-Strike: Source with my brother,
And working an a HL2 mod, although that's not really playing ::)
-
on my pc ive been playing Raganrok Online for the 6 or so months, on several different servers.
and on my xbox i have just finished KotOR2 - wtf sort of ending was that? i completed the game in about 25-30 hours, but i was expecting about 10+ more hours in it.
I play NHL 2005 every now and then, and have just started playing the Bards Tale, but im doubting if I will keep playing it, the cut scenes are very funny, I like the humour, but the gameplay is very repetative.
-
I've been playing BF1942 with my brother over LAN a lot lately since I just got our computers up and running. I am trying to play splinter cell: chaos theory but running into problems with it on my PC. Hopefully that'll all be resolved later.
-
For a while, I was playing a fair amount of Pirates! Live the Life, Evil Genius, Warcraft 3, GTA: San Andreas and Lord of the Rings 3rd Age but at the moment I've cut down on my gaming. I hang out in my friend's dorm room and watch him play videogames whilst I hang out on the internet. I've found myself playing lots of Yahoo! games like Bookworm and Texttwist. Bookworm is a very nice game to play while listening to the Podcasts, by the by. I'd play more games but that would involve playing by myself or taking over my friend's xbox and there's nothing that really grabs me. The last game I bought was Pirates! for the pc and X-Men Legends for the X-Box. Both of those were last semester so I guess I've hit a dry spell. c'est la vie. -leeman
-
Farcry, Gothic 2, system shock 2 with some friends, Baldur's gate 2 (for the 6,000 time) and Allegiance.
Gothic 2 is pretty good, takes skill to fight well amazingly enough.
If you like space combat games, I'd suggest Allegiance. It's a game Microsoft released long ago and is now free (they released the source code for it).
Basiclly, it's multiplayer team based space combat, with one person commanding the team. The commander builds structures and researches technology and new ships/weapons for the team. It takes a lot of teamwork and is incredibly cool with stealth elements, sneak attacks, massive capital ships with 6 or so turrets. Another interesting thing is it has many voice 'emotes' that really add to the whole atmosphere of the game.
Can find it here at http://www.freeallegiance.org/
Hmmm, man, I'm not very good at writing reviews.
-
System Shock is a great game. My roommate and I were totally creeped out before we met the first monster. That's a good game. It's even better in a dark room with headphones on. gosh...damn. -leeman
-
Been playing a bit of Civ2 lately for some reason. Not sure why, since I play the exact same game every time. Isolationist republic/democracy until I get to mobile warfare, then switch to fundamentalism for a holy war of extermination. Good times...
-
While I've deviated a couple times to various Xbox acquisitions like Burnout 3, I keep heading back to City of Heroes. A lot of it is being a superheroic RPG gamemaster for YEARS - but rarely a player. Being able to do several characters of my own, each with their own style, look, powers, supergroups, etc., has been wildly addictive for me.
Patiently waiting for them to release Issue 4 update to the game. Especially after poking around the test server...
-
I've been playing Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory lately (great game), but there sometimes the game feels like an advertising campaign. If anyone's interested I'll upload some pictures of what I mean.
-
Mmmm... product placement in a stealth game. Sneaky indeed. ;) I'd like to see pics, if you don't mind.
I just got Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 today. Man I can't get enough of this game, and I don't know why. There's so much fun stuff to do. I now understand why so many of my nerdy middle school friends disappeared when the first Rollercoaster Tycoon game hit the shelves. ;D
-
Rather surprisingly i've just bought The Sims 2 and have been playing it for a couple of hours. A huge improvement on the original and i must admit i'm finding it entertaining. However i'm not sure about it's longevity, but hopefully it will last quite a while and has some good replayability.
-
Sims 2 is fun in small doses. There are times where I just get hooked on it for a week, and then I can't stand it. It's like a cycle!
As for those Splinter Cell ads:

Not an ad, but I'm curious as to what it does:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/ftseng/splintercell32005-04-0213-03-59-31.bmp
Crap, photobucket makes them small, and imageshack was too slow...the real small one on the screen is for AMD. If you can't make out others, I'll tell you them.
-
Wow those screens are incredible... what sort of machine does that game need to be run on? A beast i expect... shame, i only upgraded mine last year and it's already starting to feel inferior :(.
-
I don't think the requirements are top-of-the-line, but my computer is very good. I just finished building this computer a couple of weeks ago. It runs really smooth and I have pretty much every graphical option at max, so I do think that it will run fine on lower/medium settings on lower-end systems.
The texture and detail in each level is amazing!
-
Do you reckon my 9600XT(256mb) will be able to run it on around medium? I see no reason why not, but it's not the best card in the world. Played Half-Life 2 fine though so i don't see why not...
-
If it could handle Half Life 2 (which I have yet to try on this computer), I'm pretty confident that it will run Chaos Theory fine.
-
I'm currently playing Oddworld: Strangers Wrath for XBox too. Sims2 stays in my laptop and haven't played it so much lately.
-
Hurray for Macs! KOTOR is a pretty awesome game. I played it over a break nonstop for 5 days after I first got it. From the little I've played of KOTOR 2, they've added some interesting changes and some cool story stuff but it's good to have played the first game before moving to the second. -leeman
-
On a whim I decided to reinstall Morrowind. It's surprising how much more fun a game can become when a best friend isn't shouting in my ear telling me what he wants *our* character to do in-game. :P
Anyway, now that I know what I was missing I am waiting for Oblivion like a giddy school girl. ;)
-
Right now I am playing:
The Matrix Online
KOTOR II
Rise of Nations
Burnout 3
Resident Evil 4
Warhammer 40k Dawn of War
Counter Strike: Source
-
KOTR 2 is excellent apart from the graphical bugs and the very poor endings, but it provides a solid 24 hours worth of gameplay - too little i think, but just enough perhaps.
-
I'm currently playing Deus Ex with a side of Civ3 now and then.
-
I'm still trapped in the city of heroes, though I'm working on finishing Final Fantasy X, so I can get started again on Xenosaga.
-
im now playing WoW - alot, and some random xbox games on the side.
-
Lets see...
FreeCiv (I hate smallpox players!)
DoomRL (Just finished it... ending p*ssed me off ;))
Nethack (Darn you, Stupid eyeballs!)
Master of Magic (lol, wraiths pwn)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Yo, hom dawg!)
Stars! (Stupid arse minefields)
AAh yes, all but one of these games full of old-school goodness...
We with 7.8 year old computers salute you, the-Underdogs.org!
-
Janos, I've got a 9600XT 256mb, 512mb RAM, and 2.8ghz and I can run Chaos Theory perfectly fine (or at least I could run the beta fine, but it looked the same as the screens from gold). and when I say fine, I mean perfectly...no slowdown no matter what was happening, with setttings at default.
You should be fine I'd say...it's a great game if you can get a partner and do co-op or online team game goodness.

Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time

Now Playing
Omikron: The Nomad Soul
(Played the Demo years ago, finally bought the game to check it out)
Replaying
Thief: Deadly Shadows
(Loved the first 2, was one of the funniest games I’ve ever played?
-
Just look at my sig. Legos Star Wars is really fun, but I turned my computer monitor on the other day and got a DISK ERROR! Damnit, now I have to format the damn computer again. This machine has been nothing but trouble for the last few months.
-
Right now I'm playing:
- KOTOR (I finished the dark side a year ago and I decide to start the light side.)
- Tropico (A nice strategy/political game.)
- Capitalism II (THE BEST business game out there, but freaking complicated.)
- SimCity 3000 (I got an old computer not able to run Simcity 4)
-
I'm stuck with a few myself, and most are contrary to my usual playing style.
SWAT 4 and SWAT3 (since it's apparently better than SWAT4)
Just finished Jade Empire (short but EXCELLENT story, great for kung fu movie fans)
E.V.O. (old SNES ROM, just because I heard of it on the Spore forums)
Starting Area 51.... too early to tell whether it's gonna be good or not.
Waiting on: Spore, B&W2, X3:Reunion, TES4: Oblivion, Star Wars: Empire At War
-
* bump *
Its been awhile since this thread was last added to, i thought it woul be interesting to see what everyone is playing now....
on the PC, Ive started Rome: Total War and i cant get enough of this game!!
on the xbox Ive been playing alot of Forza Motorsport and last night I played about 30mins of Jade Empire and so far its kick ass.
so how about you guys? picked up any new games?
-
Ahh Nethack. I've been playing that thing off and on for 8 years or so. It's the only game I always come crawling back to. Make sure you visit Nethack.org and get 3.4.3, it has GRAPHICS! (well, sorta). Quite a learning curve, I still don't know what some commands are for. I usually only play as wizard, Charm spells are the best. Nothing like having an army of pets to protect you.
I almost forgot about that game, I havn't played it in months. Classic.
-
Currently Playing: Metal Gear Solid 3 (having a hard time with it), Brothers in Arms, Mercenaries
Recently Finished: Jade Empire, Call of Duty: United Offensive, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Psychonauts
Still Need to Play: Fable, Advance Wars
Looking Forward to In the Next 3 Months: Battlefield 2, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Nintendogs...and if they actually come out in August, which I doubt, Oblivion and F.E.A.R.
-
Almost finsihed with Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past (GBA)

-
Psychonauts, Swat 4, Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, WoW, Freedom Fighters, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3; all on the PC, of course! ;)
-
Whoa, whoa... Wait a minute. Nethack + Graphics = Does not Compute. I will have to check this out; It will either be cool or just ruin it.

-
Silent Hunter III is a great game. Putting the voices on German is great and if you have a halfway decent sound system, the sound is amazing.
Right now I'm playing WoW... a lot. Mostly because I'm a huge nerd. Other than that, SHIII and the occasional foray in Garry's Mod, I've been taking small stabs at MGS 2 again in order to get warmed up for Subsistence.
My calendar is currently marked for June 17th when Destroy All Humans comes out. I think it'll be one of the better games of the year in an instant cult classic sense. Besides that, there's not a lot coming out that really sets the gaming world aflame. (I was all psyched about Imperial Glory, praying that it was Cossacks in 3D, but, as always: the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.)
Edit: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is one of my on and off projects. That game's a bigger time investment than I would've imagined. The customization of characters is glorious too.

I have recently moved house, and we still dont have broadband setup, so now that I cant play WoW, I have been looking at some other games.
I got back into HoMM4 for a bit, but now I'm playing these games on my PC:
LOTR: Battle for middle earth 2
Call of Duty 2
Galactic Civilisations 2
And these games with my flatmates on Xbox:
NHL
Fifa
Mortal Kombat
Its actually nice to have a break from WoW, I'm kind of looking forward to getting back into it, but I dont know if I'll play as much as I use too.

I know this is an old thread, but it's been bumped latelt so...
Day of Defeat: Source has been taking a lot of my time lately.
Had a brief binge with "The Movies" but that came to a grinding halt when I realized no matter what I do there is just no pleasing those spoild diva stars.
Been itching to try another MMRPG, got burned out on WoW and not much else out there looks very appealing to me, except maybe City of Villians.
-
Civilization II
Half-Life Mods
Half-Life 2

I also went out and bought Guild Wars the other day to try out an MMO since... I've never tried one before. I utterly hated the thing. I can't believe people play those games ???

Well, at the moment, I'm on my wife's laptop, which isn't good at all for gaming. However, there are plans to get a new desktop, so I've got a list going for games that I want to get and play.
STALKER
Overlord
Independence War: Edge of Chaos
and Company of Heroes.
anyone have any other recommendations, or comments about the first two on that list, as I've yet to play them?
-
I also recommend Half-Life 2, and Garrys Mod. You'll love them.

I'm playing:
Warcraft 3

Also, CIV Beyond the Sword.

If you guys play Warcraft 3 we should get a game happening. Of course I dont go on battle.net for playing actual warcraft games I prefere the custom games like Tides of Blood, Predator yada yada yada.

...or DOTA! Seriously, dota could be an entirely seperate game from WC3 and I'd buy it.
-
HOW DARE YOU!
Dota is a scourge on Warcraft III.
We should play my civil war map.
-
Shivering Isles, which im getting sick of.
Off topic, but did anyone ever have Silent Steel?
-
HOW DARE YOU!
Dota is a scourge on Warcraft III.
We should play my civil war map.
Have you ever even played dota? I was once like you, until a friend showed me the light. Or darkness.
But, there is a reason why 70% of the games on Bnet are dota. It is a really fun game!
-
DOTA is horrible, I played it and I was good at it but that doesnt mean I didnt hate it. I prefere Tides of Blood much more casual and lay back instead of a bunch of kids yelling and blacklisting eachother. I think they should revive the China map where you would take over regions and build up armies...much like civil war and what not. Good times on the earlier days of B.net.
-
right now i just go on pivot and work on something

I have played it. A good friend of mine is a Dota fiend. I still hate it though, it pushes all of the good custom games out of hosting.

Supreme Commander.

Sadly, absolutely nothing. I'm still in the process of finding a job. After I find one, I have to wait at least two weeks for my first paycheck. THEN I have to order the parts for my computer and assemble them.
THEN I'll be playing all sorts of games, so long as the wife doesn't keep me away from the computer for too long. :P

nothing at the moment. y'know, i kinda suck as a gamer lately: no next-gen console, no pc that is able to play modern games like bioshock. hell, even the last game i bought was 1 YEAR AGO! i'm the only one in my group of friends without a next gen system. we have 1 with a ps3, 3 with a wii and 1 with a 360!
i suck, big time! :'( :'( :'(

Lord of the Rings Online

Lord of the Rings Online
Which one? There are dozens of LOTR pc games.
-
He said lord of the rings online.
I suppose its the online game that has come out for not to long ago.
I was also wondering, I have been watching LittleBigPlanet for a while now, and i wondered, do you think it would work for the pc?
I think it looks so much fun, it rates very high on my list.. but since i haven't got any ps3, i won't get it. Anyone think it'll go pc also?
I saw Gears of War is making it to the pc, due to their success. Could it happen again? I sure hope so.. It would be great for the developers, just imagine having a internet game on the computer. or lans, i dunno. I just want it so badly. But not badly enough to buy a ps3.
-
Yeah, it's the online one. Hence the "Online" ;)
-
Spore
-
Wtf?
I'm playing Black & white 2

Just dug out my Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 disc again while looking for my NWN stuff.
-Lego

I just played the World in Crisis Demo, which I liked, except it kept glitching up on me so I couldn't see where the cursor was. So I was unable to finish the demo. It was pretty cool anyway, you can destroy ANYTHING (buildings, street lights, etc.) It's like an RTS without resource gathering, instead you get 'airdrops' of new vehicles and stuff, which you have a set amount. I don't know if I'll try the full game when it comes out.
The storyline is that the soviet union attacks the U.S., starting at Seattle, which I thought was cool since I live in the Washington. Anyway I guess I better try this "Oblivion" every seems to be playing.
-
I was going to try it too, but the demo is too big. Not to mention the game itself would take ages to download.

i belive the games name is world in conflict not crisis
-
yeah, my bad. That's the 2nd time I couldn't remember the name. Not a very good one. Especially since it's all on US soil.
-
lets see, now?
a little starcraft, some civ 4 bts and hopefully soon the universe at war beta (come on beta email hurry up..)
-
I've got to admit that world in conflict is pretty good i download the demo and its ok but like deep lee said its kinda glitchy >:(
-
Right now I'm busy with the best game I've ever played: RAYMAN 2: THE GREAT ESCAPE!!!!
Robot pirates, disembodied limbs, and a fat blue autistic frog as a sidekick FTW!
-
By blue frog sidekick, you mean Globox? :D
I have that game as well, extremely fun. Played it alot when i was a kiddo. those were good times for gaming.... ::)
I remember i used a commodore 64-ish joystick to play it.
Right now i am playing Bioshock, I bought a limited edition box thing. it had a miniature Big Daddy in it. I laughed when i saw that the game says i must be 18 to play the game. why would 18 year old people play with action figures? :D The game is fun, i guess. but not extremely fun. It's not something i would play forever, like say.... Oblivion? Hell... i would invent a forgetting machine to foget how oblivion was to want to play it again! right now i seem to have played it to the bone....

Toribash

Have you managed to break off your own arms yet? I can do that, It's priceless.
-
Trying to, but all I can break of are my legs. And the other guys head.
-
Did you buy full version?
-
I found Alien and am playing it.
BUT IT WON"T LET ME PUT THREE PEOPLE IN THE CONTROL ROOM!
UGH!
I need to blow the station apart to kill the Alien(I already tried hunting him down...three people died) and I need three people minmuim to use the escape pod. AND IT WON"T LET ME!
Somebody should remake that game though. It's fun.
-
I'm playing OBLIVION! yeah... now can someone tell me how to use the mouse button to use spells instead of the C key?
-
Did you buy full version?
Yeah, but it wasn't worth it IMO. Demo is as good as the full one is.
-
I'm playing OBLIVION! yeah... now can someone tell me how to use the mouse button to use spells instead of the C key?
Change your key bindings in the options menu.
-
Yeah... thats kinda obvious...
-
tried Bioshock. Great game, definitely deserves the hype, but it's just too graphics demanding.
i'm going to try the demo of Medal of Honor: Airborne. it looks pretty cool. Now if it runs smoothly I might even buy it.
-
oh now I see that you can arrow over to the MOUSE menu in the control options. Thanks for the friendly advice guys.

I don't have Bioshock nor MP3, and don't plan on buying them any time soon. I have the money, I could buy them, but I'm already engaged, baby, and her name is Warcraft 3 and WoW. And another game made by ex-blizzard employees. And then Toribash, and Mario sunshine.
By the way, any of you WC3-players play on US-West? Maybe we could play a game together or something.
-
Borg Cube Avatar, Warcraft 3 TFT Custom Games? Where have you been all my life? :D
Lurking gaming steve forums. Been that way since I got WoW. But kinda stuck in the habbit of not posting even though i quit again last april.
By the way, any of you WC3-players play on US-West? Maybe we could play a game together or something.
I usually play on East with a couple friends from WoW. But we could always set up a game to play in either server. You into custom or actual Warcraft?
-
I'm usually east and play custom games.

I play Lord of the rings online, the 7 days free trial thing. i must say, it is a fresh breath from all the wow cliché crap.

But it is a WoW cliche.

Right now I'm in a serious CivIV BtS mod funk.

Been playing Harvest Moon DS for about two weeks now.
I also grabbed Rune Factory, not that I've played it much.
HMDS is pretty fun. Right now, I'm levelling up my crops.
Soon, I will be so stupidly rich, I'll never have to play the game again (no, marrying different chicks does not constitue replay value to me).
-
Just got Half-life and I must say, it is amazing.
Anywho, before that, I've been playing Garry's mod, TF2 and portal.
-
I finished Super Paper Mario over the weekend. So right now it's mostly just Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass. I went back to crackdown for a little while after I finished SPM but really it's just find the mob boss kill him move on and it gets a bit old.

KOTOR (the original) was just fantastic. I haven't played the second one yet, I heard that the ending was sucky (they ran out of time I have heard from various people) and that doesn't sound good to me.
well i would most certainly agree with you that the original KOTOR was pretty awesome! and yeah, the ending was sucky (left me staring at the screen with my head tilted saying: "wtf?") but! the storyline makes sense after playing it a couple (4+) times through. the greatest feature in KOTOR 2 is turning your followers to either sith or jedi :) and you get your own crystal if you find out where to get it. i would suggest playing KOTOR 2 if you have played the original, but just dont get yourself hyped up for the ending.
As for what i am playing right now:
Portal
GarrysMod
CS: S
Farcry (sort of)
Diablo II: Lord of Destruction

Spore, turns out Will was kidding, out can make water creatures, and the cartoony graphics were fake after all! Boy, can't wait for you guys to play it too. ;)

Two Worlds - turns out my comp runs it without chug which is nice
Also Rune Factory although I'm still having difficulty with the concept of planting veggies to recover health in caves...sounds like hippy talk to me...

Starcraft (A classic, can't wait for SC2 or the PR demo...)
and thats all within the last 2 hours (in order from bottom to top)
-
-possible oblivion "spoiler" warning- if you are playing it, do NOT bother completing the main quest.
I just finished the main quest on Oblivion. That was so lame. Just stand there and WATCH the king fight the final boss?? Bunch of crap. Well I got a good 50 hours out of that game anyway. NEXT... hmmm
-
You might want to add a spoiler warning to that post, Deep Lee. Not everybody has finished Oblivion.
I'm currently playing Garry's Mod 10, Team Fortress 2 and Half Life 2 (no, I haven't finished HL2 yet. Shame on me ;) )

Right now I'm playing Solitaire. Best game ever.

You should try Solitaire in multiplayer, it rocks! lol

I've been playing games a lot lately. I get to play my PSP at works sometimes, but I usually only play emulators on that because I'm not that interested in many PSP games. So I play Shining Force II at the moment, just finished up Lemmings. On my PS3 I'm really into Dragon Quest VIII right now (didn't have a PS2 so I never got to play it, it looks really good for an old gen game), and I just got the Simpsons Game. I also have PixelJunk Monsters which is fun to play with the Wife. We played the Playstation Eye game 'blurbs' or something which is really interesting experience to be playing with your hands. All killing time before GTA IV which will probably take most of my free time for a while. Any way, I thought I'd ressurect this topic after 120+ days of inactivity.

NFS Underground 2, but I'm sick of being told what looks good on my car so I think I'm gonna fire up something else. Far Cry maybe, I feel like playing that for some reason.

I thought it was fun in the begining, but after a while it just feels to linear. Yes you get to run around and do whatever you want, but that doesn't affect the enviroment, it makes it feel pointless.
Right now I am playing nothing, though I'm waiting for GTA IV.

Going to need a new game to play soon, until GTAIV is released :(

I'm playing The Witcher and Super Mario RPG. I also think I am playing Yoshi's Island but it was only that one time so I'm not really sure.

Disciples 2. Anyone got that, or am I the only one? That happens alot, I seem to find the most obscure games. But it doesn't always happen. So, am I the only one or not?
-
Hey, my big sister used to play that! I thought it looked like fun, but I never tried it for myself. Maybe I'll ask her where I can find it one day.

Disciples 3 is coming out. So, if you are gonna try it, try D3.

No. They are not goombas. Do not correct me. They are frikkin TURTLES! :P

They're not goombas you right there but your wrong about them being turtles they're Koopas.

Well. i played through the main quest (and the main quest only, not meddeling with the side quests too much)fairly quickly.
now that i finished it, i can fully agree it is repetitive.
it's definitively a game i won't go back to play again, i played it because i wanted to find out what happened storyline-wise. i must say, i got kinda disappointed in the end.
-

I didn't play the side quests
i must say, i got kinda disappointed in the end.
Well there's your problem right there.
If you only do the main storyline as quick as you can, it is very repetitive. But if you take a break from the grind and fight some guards or just run around stabbing people, it's actually very entertaining for a long time. When you go back in, after you finish the main mission, it's not very fun though. Mainly because it's exceedingly difficult to get into a big fight with like 10 guards

I'm probably nitpicking, but if you're talking about the pack I think you're talking about, the same pack I have, namely 'Star Wars: The Best of PC', then it's 'Battlefront 1' instead of 2, and you forgot 'Knights of the Old Republic'.
And I bought the pack because I downloaded Republic Commando earlier and I liked it so much that I was willing to shell out the € 20 it costs. :)

I've been playing Oblivion a lot again. Making an evil sorceress-style character now, Disney movie style. Except her apples murder people instead of putting them to sleep.
Or at least I would be playing.. if my computer wasn't broken.

Whenever I play oblivion, I always end up creating a dark elf or imperial 'ranger' type guy, who's kinda like a wandering detective/sell-sword or something.

I thought I might give SC4 another crack tonight, If I'm not seeing Iron Man.
-
Not much besides GTAIV at the moment..
But I've also been playing Final Fantasy XII and X3: Renunion, which just seems to be big, open, slow, and has nothing to do in it. Maybe I'm missing something, but I just can't get my head around it. Even Morrowind and Daggerfall gave you something, before pushing you out into such a open world.
-
Beat Splinter Cell 4: Double agent...can't wait for conviction...
Need....new...games!
Seriously, there's only so much CoD4, AC, and Halo3 you can stand before you start to crack.

No time for anything else while i play it.

If you manage to finish Just Cause tell me. I found myself driving around for a while and then got bored.
Right now I'm playing Puzzle Quest (nearly done!), Final Fantasy (still!), Legend of the Seven Stars (again!), and Team Fortress 2.
I finally got back into TF2, although my bad luck is still there. I'll finish the round in the top five but I swear I get more critical hits than anyone else. I'm thinking that Half-Life 2: Episode 2 is up next on the list.
-
Team fortress 2 mainly, but also the full Spore CC and Sam and Max: Culture shock.
Good stuff!
-
Ive been doing TF2 also. Along with zombie panic source, Insurgency, GTA IV and some COD4.

I've been playing Beyond Good & Evil (finally :)), and I've started playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii again. I will get all 160 golden bricks! ;)

Samsung Spinpoint T166 400GB, 16MB, SATA II
btw, what do you have pat?
-
You're going to have fun!
Let's see... jogging my memory... I've got...
Core 2 Duo clocked at 2.13 GHz
2 gigs of RAM
GeForce 8800 GTS
That's all that really matters, I've got a couple hard drives in it and some other doodads. I'm running Vista Ultimate, the 64 bit flavor, and it's the best system I've ever had. Everything is balanced very nicely so that it all runs at peak performance and I paid less than 700 dollars for it all. I may slip another video card or some RAM into the setup at some point but I still haven't hit any games that I can't run at full yet so there's no reason to spend the money.
-
ah, thanks. I wasn't really sure everything would fit together, and that i might end up with an unbalanced system. But i think i'll be okay.
well, you dont have such a bad pc either pat! You reccomend getting Vista, or should i stick with Xp?
-
Anyone who buys XP for use on a new PC at this point is just being stubborn and irrational. It's Vista's time now, go for it.
-
Considering that support for XP will start to kinda disappear, go Vista.
Although I still don't see what's so great about it..
-
Team Fortress 2, Europa Universalis 3, and Postal2.
-
which version of Vista do you guys have?

Stubborn and irrational or just wants their PC to work correctly without fighting with it for hours each time you want to install and play a new game.
-
Most of the time those problems are not with Vista. People say it is Vista though because they don't want to take the time to call customer service or learn about the equipment they are using, they just want to complain.
I'm using Vista Ultimate 64-bit. The price has come down quite a bit.
-
Somehow I always pictured Pat playing retro stuff on an old 486...
By the way, Just Cause is pretty bad. I'm really not sure why I picked it up.
-
It looks like a great game for the first few levels! I was almost enjoying it, but then the story kind of disappeared entirely and the gameplay was one giant round of cut and paste.
-
I'm playing Galactic Civilizations 2. >.>
Now wheres that serial code....

The thing is just because you may not have had problems with vista does not mean its that way for everyone. Vistas bad reputation was not just born out of farts and and belches of rainbow kittens.
Whats more not everybody who has problems with vista are senile senior citizens and Amish folk who aren't tech savvy in the slightest.
Nothing against you Pat but i find it funny how people have owned many computers over the years some owning multiple computers at one time and then they get this new computer with vista and out of the blue has dump trucks full of problems but..but..but..no it couldn't be the new buggy OS everybody complains about!. They just don't know how to dial tech support ::).
Oh whoops gotta go. Gotta saddle up my horse and buggy dawn my hat and comb my long beard. I am going out with the other vista haters at the ye old tavern tonight :P.
ARGH ye should be ashamed young lady!!! put a coat on.

i just got brawl
good stuff

Still playing TF2.

Please do not put words in my mouth. I've had problems with Vista and many more with XP but I've been able to fix them with help from various sources.
It's the truth, people are blaming far more issues on Vista than the OS is actually responsible for. Most of the problems (at least for gamers) are caused by them either not having the proper hardware or having the wrong drivers for said hardware. The majority of the rest are the same problems that we've been struggling with since Windows 95 dropped. Of course Vista shipped with issues but so did every other OS. The real conflict came about with hardware compliance and while it was not the best idea, in the long run it will do a lot to progress the computer industry as a whole. If you want to avoid most common problems with Vista or any other OS you've just got to pay attention. It's no different than the approach you should be taking with any other venture.
But you are right on one point, I can't minimize that my knowledge of computers has helped me deal with the more serious issues. Still, that isn't stuff I can recall on the fly. I don't know all that much about computers, I just know how to use Google properly. :P
-
Hehe i would die without Google. Thats how i fixed most of my problems when it comes to vista.
I bet XP did have as many problems as vista when if launched if not more. I haven't experienced any personally likely because i got it late in XPs life. Now windows ME on the other hand..i could tell you horror story's about.
-
I have had many problems and best I can determine they are Vista related. Wel i say any but it's one problem and thats i can't iunstall any games I have mentioned how WoW would crash my PC every 5 mins. At 1st i thought it might be that my Video Card wasn't good enough which would have been understandable as I haven't got much in the video card department.
Turns out after some researh i met all the recommended requirements to play WoW so it wasn't my weak card. Of course then when I get the same problems trying to play Audio Surf/Phun with Physics and even Dwarf Fortress it leaves me to conclude Vista is the Devils works.
I'm planning on getting a new Laptop soon for when I move out I'm considaring seeing if i can pick one up with XP still on ot at least just format what ever i do get and load XP on to the Laptop. I know it will work better with anything i run plus it wont hog as much of the resources to begin with.

Breath of Fire (SNES) - almost 15 years after buying it, I resolved to finally make it through this one....but MAN it's long!
Jack Keane (PC) - not as good as all the German reviews, not as bad as all of the North American ones - just good fun with minor annoyances. Right now I'm a bit stuck...in a wedding dress, holding a frying pan, and not knowing who to hit over the head with it.

Gonna go back to playing D2 between WoW and TF2.
-
Here is why Beyond Good and Evil sucks. The controls are terrible and the camera is even worse (especially in the hovercraft). Other than that, it is a decent game.
-
thats probably because your playing the pc version?
-
Decent? As often as it's talked about, you'd think it was god's gift to gamers.
-
No way... the characters are annoying as anything and the plot is held together with paperclips and a coat hanger. You're better off playing Myst or Deus Ex.

SO I HERD U LIEK FF7?
-
Yeah it's great, although FFVI is better. Besides, I like FFVII for legitimate reasons.
You hate it because its popular, I've heard you go off on it before. It's just as bad as the people that like it because so many other people like it. Leave me alone.
-
So you like FF7, but you're criticising BG&E for things that it does much, much better than it (like having a plot, or actually being entertaining.)
-
ff7 was and it did have a plot...although it did get really repetitive and stale after a while
and i hate cloud...
beyond good n evil is a good game...and the plot is better...in my opinion...although a bit too obvious
-
I just don't like Beyond Good and Evil, just like how you just don't like most JRPGs (I think you're the one that didn't like them). I'll finish it, don't get me wrong, but it isn't what I want from an action adventure game.
-
Not me, I just hate FF7.
JRPGs do tend to have a common failing in the plot department, though.
-
>.>
golden sun had a good plot
<.<
btw to stay on topic...i am playing golden sun again :P
-
The big one for me is World of Warcraft -- having a lot of fun with that at the moment. My quasi-main is a late-teens hunter, but I'm an altaholic, so I'm playing several different characters here and there.
So am i,i spend 2-3 hours in WoW everyday.

Wow, what a coincidence, I just installed the game 2 weeks ago and started playing again! :P
-
TF2. Spore: CC and some Wow

Mount and Blade. I've never really liked it before, but I've been playing none stop since the last few updates.

About to play settlers 6.
see how that turns out to be.
How is Settlers 6 aka "Settlers: Rise of an Empire"?
I am thinking of getting "Settlers: Rise of an Empire" or "1701AD Gold"...
but haven't found a good head to head comparison of them.
well.. maybe it's just me, but it kinda sucks in the long run, booring after a couple of minutes.

I just tried the 1701AD demo, and it doesn't feel so much like map-play... but the graphics are not as tricked out.
i was talking about the settlers.
-
Yeah, I got that... you helped me pick 1701 over Settlers. Thanks.
/flee
WAIT
my advice is, try the demo befure you waste any of yer monies on something that might suck.
otherwise, it's your fault, not mine..
/flee

Hey, I was just playing Anno 1701 yesterday.
Fantastic game.

I've mostly been playing poker online at pokerstars.com for real money (nothing more exciting than winning money at poker), but occasionally Age of Empires III also.

Why pokerstars? Ever since they dropped Wil Wheaton from their team roster, I didn't think any respectable net nerd would go there! ;)
wil who? I just go there cuz it lets me use real money. I understand I'll have to open a bank account in canada if I want my money back, but whatever, it's only a few hours away.

Freedom Force? Wasn't that a superhero strategy RTS or something?

WoW, Super Smash bros Brawl, Mario Kart DS, When I'm next home I'll pick up the power cord for my 360 and start up on Overlord.

A whole lot of tf2. Preparing to own on goldrush when the new updates come out.

Yeah, its a squad based strategy game. I tried playing it when it first came out, sucked, and put it away. It turns out that I've gotten a bit smarter. Now I'm actually enjoying it a lot.
-
Fallout and Stronghold.

I play an eerily familiar ukulele tune, within the fleshy confines of my mind, of course.

Multitasking ftw.

I kinda just wander the Internets. But I wanna start playing either Morrowind or Gal Civ 2.
-
Playing Peggle right now.
Harvest Moon comes out this Tuesday so that'll be on the list too. Seems like I play more and more casual games... none of the new "hardcore" games are good any more, they're too weak. I still play the old "hardcore" games though... with my eyes closed.
-
Soul Calibur 4.
It's not terribly assraping hard so.. hey, how about that? Having fun playing a fighting game.
How novel.
Mount and Blade is pretty fun but I got really bored and made a cheat character with maxed everything.
Hilarious.
Getting Mercenaries 2 at the end of the month too.
Hope someone gets in on it with me for some co-op play.

I'm not sure i would call Harvest moon Causal. That game takes an ass load of time thought and planning.

I guess I can't argue with you there.

Not trying to stray too off topic but whats your favorite Harvest moon?
Back to nature was my favorite but i am really starting to like Magical Melody.
-
Most of my Harvest Moon time has been split between Harvest Moon and Harvest Moon 64. Magical Melody comes in third, it's close but still not there. Everything else is waaaaay down the rating scale. A Wonderful Life was annoying as hell. I give merit to Rune Factory though, that game would probably be fourth. Hopefully Island of Happiness is decent.

Yeah most peoples favorites are Harvest moon and Harvest moon 64. I never got the chance to play those :(.
I was just curious mostly because i rarely meet a harvest moon fan outside forums decated to them. Every body else is appalled that i can enjoy a game like that and its almost impossible to explain to them why its fun :D.
-
Harvest Moon is one of my favorite franchises, it's got everything I want in a game. I just wish MMOs or Oblivion would let me be a farmer. I'd rather do that then fight.

Well if Darkfall lives up to expectations you will be able to be a farmer in it.
If you like stuff like that you might want to try Guilds 2 also
Let see...
I'm playing the free version of Peggle (thanks to you Pat) I normally don't like puzzleish games but i love Peggle!!.
The spore creature creator.
The force unleashed demo.
And the UFO series.
-
I only ever played the SNES version and enjoyed it a lot wanted to try the other versions but never bothred to pick any up.
-

Same here. I imported HM and have played it practically to death.
-
not much of a risk player, but i found THIS (http://www.nullterm.com/java/fkconflict/) to be an awesome time waster, the first time i had a rather long war going on, i had captured south and north America, the two other computers had captured Australia and another had captured Europe, Asia and Africa, so i felt pretty screwed, but in the end by striking to the north through england, i managed to win.
it's really fun, i recommend it.

Despite its flaws, you might like Star Wars Galaxies then. Seeing how you can level up from 1 to 90 without even touching an enemy. Try the trial, start out as an entertainer and get to learn the game, it's great, atleast, the non-combat part. Combat however... :(
I too, am still waiting for a game where you can level without even touching quests and enemies and still have fun and earn your money, SWG was the closest thing I could find :(

yeah, been some situations where i basically was screwed, but somehow the computer manages to turn it's back at some place, and i attack, then he moves his heavily defended way into the heart of his land, and i win.

The latest TF2 update has provided me all the entertainment I've needed for the past week. I wub Arena, expecially Ravine.

-
So, two days ago I dug up an old rpg I had never played before in the back reaches of my games shelf called "Vampire: The masquerade: Redemption." It's about vampires (There's a shocker!) and a paladin guy turned into a vampire whining about:
A) How he wants to have sex with a nun.
B) But it would damn him.
C) And he's already damned by being a vampire.
D) So no loss, right?
E) Wait, she's been kidnapped by mage/slavers.
F) Oh well.
It's set in the white wolf brand world of darkness and bad peopleTM and revolves around the party of 1 to 4 murdering entire bunches of really, really stupid monsters. They'll let you slowly walk your way intoa room, aggravate one of them, and walk back drawing one monster away from the herd for you to use the awe power on and then suck dry. And sucking all the blood out of someone is always fatal, and yet the party will never do it without carefull babysitting. Moreover, there's no bonus for diablerizing somebody (In the WoDaBP drinking all the blood of another vampire gives you the powers they had, or something like that..) nor a loss of humanity, so it's all good. Just don't drain townsfolk or watchmen dry, or kill them. Everyone else is fair game. The combat is exceedingly random (Think dwarf fortress random) in that one hit can instantly decapitate the uber armored knights or fail to kill a single little ghoul spider for up to ten minutes of bored clicking. The same vulnerability goes for your party, so you'll be doing fine and then suddenly die horribly. Oh, and when you decapitate the Teutonic knights, the head flies about ten feet and bounces three times. Then they shout "Who goes there?!" I'm having a ton of fun with it. [/endrant]
I wish I had a computer that could run Fallout 3 and...well, a copy of Fallout 3.

I WOULD be playing GTA IV if Microsoft and this nation's sorry excuse for a broadband network haven't been raping me for the past few hours.
-
I would NOT recomend getting GTA4 off steam atm, I dont know about the DVD version, but the steam version is bugged to pieces, Im looking at a useless 64$ version of GTA4 right now, who knows when they get around to fixing it, not only that, but in order to play online you MUST register with both some wuss rockstar social club, and that horrible games for windows live thing, I wish I had waited for saints row .........
(http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/Poised_photos/GTAcrap.jpg)
(Edit) Aaah well I asked for a refund, maybe I will buy it when its sold cheap some weekend.

(http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/Poised_photos/GTAcrap.jpg)
I get a very similar error message when I try to start the game (Mine says RMN40). apparently getting Service Pack 3 helps sometimes, which is what I was trying to do this arvo. I agree about the social club and windows live bulls***, This has got to be the most painful installation I've ever gone through.
-
Mine starts fine but they did a piss poor job at optimizing the game. Even worse, they don't even allow you to put the settings higher than whatever their algorithm decides your computer can run. And to top it all off, the start up commands don't work in the Steam version so you can't disable the locks on graphical settings.
-
I got GTA IV installed, however it's sooo buggy that I've given up until some patches come out. All the game objects are invisible unless you're very close to them, and half the time it randomly crashes on start up.
-
seems like gta IV on pc sucked really much.
i feel sad.
-
I started playing Super Mario 64 DS again. Was rather bored at school yesterday. So I got 137 stars on my first day coming back to it. :-\
-
Im playing Liberal Crime Squad, LCS
Its a crazy text based, rogue-like rpg satire, where you play a modernday misfit in a conservative america. You have to gather an army to invoke the liberal beliefs on the people... its hard to explain, very very crazy...
so yea, you try it out you find it easily by google or here www.bay12games.com/lcs (http://www.bay12games.com/lcs)
-
Same guy who made dwarf fortress. Go to the clothing factories and go get some sweatshop workers for the liberal revolution!

Well, there's no "You win" thingy AFAIK, you just keep making things more and more liberal.

Well I got GTA4 running sadly, now I cant get a refund, Im on a quad with a 9800gtx+ and the game looks like garbage, after a few minutes the textures disappear, and the framerate is so horrible I cant even stomache to play it, rockstar won me with SA, but they sure as hell lost me with this poorly ported console crap.
-
I heard that Gta IV sucked horribly, so i won't buy it.
it makes me sad, i was looking very much forward to playing it.
-
I gave up on GTA IV, cbf going back to Far Cry 2, and forgot how good Civ 4 is.
-
Right now? On my old school laptop? Nothing new. Sim city 4 and homeworld 2.
-
The console version of GTA4 is great fun though you should have gotten then.
-
Sim City 4
-
I am playing...not much... I beat GOW2 and Fable 2 and i dont have anything coming up until christmas, however i have been playing Castle Crashers! It is sooooooo much fun with four people, we played for six hours straight :P
-
The console version of GTA4 is great fun though you should have gotten then.
Well, the fact that I don't own a console kinda sinks that idea. :P
-
(i dunno, but it might be that this here game would soon become boring due to the repetition. it makes me sad)
And you Play WOW?
-
What I am playing now? Silly question (at least for me) as WotLK only has been out for a month.
-
So GTA 4 isent that good of a game, =( I was lookin forward to playing it, even had it on my wish list.
-

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Personally I'm playing way too much Pokemon Pearl for it to be healthy.
-
Real men play Pokemon Pearl.
Tell me, is it worth a look? I've often heard that if you've played one Pokemon game, you've played them all.
-
Depends. If you just want to play an RPG, there are better ones out there. Some people just beat the Elite Four and put it away, and it really isn't all that satisfying if you do that.
But if you've got a stomach for statgrinding, there's hundreds* of hours of gameplay in that cart - filling up your pokedex really is fulfilling, even though you'll probably never finish it. If you can find a group of equally determined people, it metamorphosises into a massive, complex strategy game.
So personally I'd say yes, but mostly because I want more people to battle over wifi. If you are interested, I'd suggest waiting for Platinum to come out, since that's got more stuff than the basic Diamond/Pearl.
*I've played about 400 hours so far.
-
Back when I played Pokemon, I'd always get stuck at some boss and go off and train my Pokemon to lvl. 50. Good times.
-
Pat loves the level grind.
-
Europa Universalis 3 + IN, god im destroying to
-
Yeah, EU3 is pretty great.
-
Pat loves the level grind.
oh, that reminds me of one time where my brother spent 3 week training up all his pokemon to lvl 80 and then i wrote over the game data, good times.
anyway on topic, i'm trying a bit of crysis, got it off a mate for a quid a while back, haven't played it much yet though.
-
/me is currently playing GTA4 and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts on the 360.
also: Tribes2 on pc. Yay for tribesnext!
-

360: The rise of the argonauts.
PC: City of heroes.
PC: Shin megami tensai: Imagine. (Digital devil saga MMO)

Hey how is Rise of the Argonauts? I heard mostly bad things but what do you think?
-

Depends, The story and Voice acting is fantastic. The combat is also pretty good...the thing is..there is not much of it. The game is 75% story 25% gameplay.
The story is interactive though, You choose just about every reply to every conversation.
Its got an interesting charcter development system. You earn mini achievements in the game and you can dedicate them to one of 4 patron gods for aspect points with that god. Also most dialogue choices favors one of the gods so you get more exp that way to.
If you want a great movie game or if your a fan of Greek mythology then you should pick it up.
-
I am parking Eve.
Might go back to WoW.
Playing Stronghold and Freelancer again.
-Lego
-
Beat FO3 today
gonna make a new, exploration character, focus a tad less on the main quests.
thinking of actually picking up WoW. played it, but never really got to into it, mostly because my brother played it too much for me to get any time on it. now that he is at college, i may enjoy it.
-
You're selling your soul to the devil.
-
NO.
NO WOW.
THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
Anyway, I'm playing, in order of play time...
Pokemon Silver. OH. MY. GOSH. I love this game. I haven't played it since I was nine or something. But I found it, and my old gameboy, and just HAD to start a new game. This move has seriously made me cut back on doing anything else. Ever.
Guitar hero World Tour. Not much to say about it. Just been trying to beat all of the "story modes" if you can call it that. But mainly only because I like watching the cut scenes. :P
Call of Duty 5. It's actually my father's game, but I've been looking into it. Purty fun.
And that's it.
-
360: Call of duty 5.
And with the upcoming release of Resident evil 5 (so excited!).
I am renting each Gamecube resident evil one by one until i beat them all since i only ever played 4 and outbreak and i want to know the full story.
-
NO.
NO WOW.

GSC are the only pokemon games that actually deserve a remake and never got one imho.
-
Far Cry 2 and Orange Box (again).
-
GSC are the only pokemon games that actually deserve a remake and never got one imho.
So true. If they remade them, It would be enough for me to buy a Nintendo DS. I mean, those games are so awesome. MUCH better than the other ones, eye-im-oh.
-
lol im on GS on my ps3! And im about to play LBP (little big planet )
-
stopped playing Eve.
Hardly playing WoW
Picked up Silent Hunter 4, then reloaded Silnet Hunter 3 becuase it ad better atmosphere.

For M&B, I need to get around to making my Forum Wars mod again...
-
Still playing Okami (fantastically fantastic game) and am nearing the end. Okami managed to do what Zelda has yet to do. They made a freaking awesome mechanical whirring gears, spinning blades, and clockwork temple! Why can't I get one of them in Zelda? WHY!?
-
Damn schoolwork stopped me from getting any good gaming in recently, might start a game on SC4 soon, and i'll probably find a good FPS somewhere.

-
Success!
*manic laughter*
-
Success!
*manic laughter*
Success indeed, the game is awesome :)
It did crash on me something fierce, but then I turned off music and now its just perfect, I have the exact same crash in fallout3 but havent been able to bypass it, but I didnt know it was a sound issue, Im going to fiddle with F3 some more, I miss that game so much :)
-
I grandeosly await Empire Total War! ;D
-
Nothing.
I'm trying to torrent Morrowind (sthup, I own the game) but the speeds are slowwwwwww.
-
Well hey, no problem right? You own the game so just pop the disk in!
-
I...
I didn't take it with me :(
-
:(
Phooey... alright... well then I guess slow and steady wins the race. Right?
-
The net here lasts like five minutes before it goes offline. I have to unplug tte modem to get it working.
Damn egypt.
-
My connection has been shoddy lately too. They've been saying that a lot of the undersea cables have are being cut and whatnot. Might be because of that.

Maybe there's something up with your sound card.
-
Maybe there's something up with your sound card.
Its the motherboard, the onboard sound system is bugged somehow, I cant use a mic either, but Im getting another MB soon so Im just twiddling till I can fix it properly :)
-
Now its KOTOR 2
and Rollercoaster Tycoon 2
-
Half-life 2 and Godzilla Unleashed.
-
Animal Crossing and Left 4 Dead.
Two very different genres. :P
-
Tribes 2.
-
Good choice! I was just playing as a matter of fact.
-
360: Culdcept saga
360: Soul caliber 4
-
I have been playing Infantry on and off since way back in its earliest beta, and its completely free now so I decided to get at it again.
The game is insanely difficult to master, and the best guys will own you everytime if you play with keyboard+mouse, this game is keyboard only if you want to really compete :)
(http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/Poised_photos/infantry.jpg)
-
Still Fallout 3 and some left 4 dead from time to time.
-
- Fallout 3 from time to time.
- Age of mythology, mostly in the editor.
- Half Life 2 which i finally convinced my brother to get.
- and Gmod, which i also convinced him to get! :D
-
just picked up spore wanting to create something awesome. I think I did, but it came out backwards.
(http://ll-293.ea.com/spore/static/image/500/283/293/500283293182_lrg.png)
Then I uninstalled spore again 'cause I was pissed... :-\
-
lol, I hate it when that happens!
-
So I bought Spore last monday and have been playing it at a casual rate Hit space phase last night.
-
Well, then you're pretty much finished.
-
I've just started playing Halo PC again. It's actually surprising how many people still play such an old game.
-
Call of Duty 4 on the hardest difficulty is not reccommended for anger levels.
-
CoD: World At War. For the third time.
-
Quake Live and GTA4:TLAD
-
I started playing sim city again, it's really hard to get into if you like custom content. I've also been playing the empire total war demo.
-
Battle forge Beta, Coolest RTS i have ever seen.
-
Fallout 3
Oblivion/Morroblivion
GTA 4
Mirror's Edge
Left4Dead
-
Battle forge is a nice new addition to the RTS scene, but I dont see myself playing this after the beta, Im not forking out 200$ to play the game competitively with other players, it is fun though :)
-
Just Finished : Freelancer,SamAndMaxAbeLinconMustDie,StrongholdLegends,GrandTheftAuto SanAndres,Spore
Pause: Mass Effect,KnightsOfTheOldRepublic2
Playing: Spore,Hl1,Hl1 Blueshift and Opposeing Force
-
Fallout 3, Spore, and Mount & Blade.
-
Rome: Total War (way more fun than Medieval 2 IMO), Mount & Blade, and hopefully Darkfall soon.
-
And hopefully Darkfall soon.
My god i wish i wish i wish.
I just hope that my computer will be able to run it decently.
-
I got Darkfall today! :D I FREAKING GOT IT!
-
I got Darkfall today! :D I FREAKING GOT IT!
WHAT!?!?!?!
Explain now!
How?
Oh and by the way if your telling the truth i hate you with every fiber of my being.
EDIT: What the heck its actually released!?!?!?!. Oh no...don't tell me its not coming to America..
-
M2:TW.
Currently destroying all of Eastern Europe as the Moors. Camel Gunners ROCK.
-
I got Darkfall today! :D I FREAKING GOT IT!
TELL ME MORE, SIR.
-
OH MY GOD.
It is available to America right now!!. How did i let that pass by?. I have been waiting on this game but haven't been keeping up on its news so i wouldn't be so excited about ot so far from release. I had NO IDEA it was even close to coming out.
Jesus chris i need moeny to buy this NOW.
*Starts plotting fast money schemes*.
-
Meh, Darkfall seems a bit...overrated.
-
No ****.
It almost makes me mad how much they say "oooh we are the best ever".
I just need to know if it can actually live up to the hype.
-
I doubt it.
My friend is extremely hyped for it, cant wait to see him disappointed... Is that a bad thing?
-

Well judging from the official forums the only disappointing thing is how bad the release is being handled.
But the everything else they said would be in is in.
-
Well, it just seems to be too good.
And Buck, get your bum back and tell us about the game.
-
I read a few impressions of the game and it sounds like crap. I.E. needs another few years of development time.
-
The official forums are on fire ::)
-
I hate those forums and everybody on them.
I'd rather hang out at and become an active member of 4chan than even lurk at that mess.
But yes, tell us all about it as soon as you can.
Or perhaps right now before we start sending you harassing messages. :-*
-
Almost playing Empire: Total War.
I love rapidshare manager.
-
I noticed steam downloading an update to GTA IV, so today I decided to give this piece of %#@$ a 9th chance, and sure enough, now we are back to square one with stupid error messages, this time I got the message that I needed to update my XP to service pack 3 ......... but since Im using Vista I find it very hard to accomodate the sharp heads at rockstar studios, so yet again I have spend time trying to get this awfull excuse of a game to play, to absolutely no avail, that was the third patch, and things just get worse and worse, Rockstar have managed to dwarf Peter Molyneux when it comes to buggy releases, I have never been left so unsatisfied by a game, three freaking patches, three .... and now it doesnt even work anymore ... I give up.
I am however playing Infantry a lot atm, and some hinterland and ETW too.
-
Sorry, missed this thread. About Darkfall; it needs a lot of work, but it is the BEST DAMN MMO EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD! Seriously, it is great. New sales this monday I have heard. If you like their base ideas of full loot and no safe zones, then you must try this out. I play Mahirim, name is Huck Bucklord. I would give it so far about 8.9/10 in its current state (my opinion is biased though) and 10/10 in potential. :)
-
Seriously, Buck?
Can Darkfall actually live up to the hype?!
I sure hope so, I'm itching to play a nice old mmo, as none of my buds play wow anymore.
Anyway, this is good news, hopefully it will be a smash hit.
-
Yes, as long as you accept it for what it is and realise what gameplay aspects and community aspects come with the game rules it is a lot of fun. Play in group is almost a must though, it is not so fun to play alone from what I have experienced as of yet.

On an un-related note, I am right now playing NES Monopoly.

Don't worry, while most people here don't like Spore, Magenti is the only one who makes a big deal out of it.
I myself love it and don't care about what people say.
More games that I like include Halo 3 and Call of Duty: WaW.

Erfbound.

It gives me a good spoonful of mechanized destruction. Though some battles are impossible! D:

That is a suprisingly good game actually. Just takes too damn long to play!
Currently playing Champions online.. also takes too long to play since it is an mmorpg.
-
Started playing dfo (dungeon fighter online) today and I gotta say it's better than I thought it would be. For once Nexon may be doing something right.
-
Playing Rock Band: The Beatles. Loving it probably my favourite of the guitar games so far.

Scribblenauts and Pokemon Heart Gold (Japanese.)

Heroes of newerth
League of legends.

I've been playing watching the PS3 play MGS4. Sometimes I get a turn also.

Umm... STILL dfo!
Puzzle League Express from DSiWare when I'm not at a pc.

Pokemans. Why? Because I have nothing left to play........ I really need scribblenauts.

BVS Solitaire Collection

Minecraft, Dawn of War 2, The Movies Stunts and Effects Expansion (I'd forgotten how fun it was) and DF.

I forgot to mention Garry's Mod. Anyone know where I can get custom content that doesn't use torrents?
-
garrysmod.org maybe.

Back to playing the silver god that is Oblivion.
My god Yannick, just admit you have an addiction. It's the first step to a healthy recovery!

There's nothing healthy about an oblivion addiction.

That uses torrents now.
Check the mod's facepunch thread, they may have a mirror.

FOR ****'S SAKE
-
What's wrong with torrents? It'll go at least as fast as the old way, since one of the seeds for all addons is garrysmod.org itself, as Garry explained on his blog (http://www.garry.tv/?p=1091).
There's nothing inherently wrong with downloading through torrents.
-
My Parents don't allow torrents. hard to explain.
Then again, I don't exactly listen...
-
Psshh Who listens to there parents nowadays.
-
People with respect for their parents and their wisdom?
-
I listen to them when it's reasonable, like "don't smoke, you'll die(I have asthma, so this is most definitely true)", "no riding with strangers who offer candy", stuff like that, but if it's just for torrents I don't really care.
-
I was more referring to Jorum because he seems the type of guy who would do drugs just because his parents told him not to.
-
How do you add custom content? I downloaded the Super Mario Galaxy Ragdoll Pack, but don't know how to add it.
-
It usually goes in the addon pack if it has an.. erm... .info file, and else it goes in the garrysmod folder itself.
-
That's what I did, I think. Where does the custom content show up in the Spawn menu?
-
It usually pops up as a new menu. So you'd have:
TF2
Ep1
Ep2
Custom Content 1
Custom Content 2
Etc...
-
Do I make a new folder in the addon folder, or do I just paste the folders it came with? Because I made a new folder, named it SuperMarioGalaxy, and pasted the things it came with in their.
http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=46451
This is what I downloaded.
-
No you just unpack the crap they give you in the addon folder. It works for me.
-
You should extract the contents of the zipfile to 'Steam/steamapps/[username]/garrysmod/garrysmod/', replacing the '[username]' part with your Steam username. It'll warn you that there already is a folder called 'addons', but you can just click 'Yes', because nothing will be overwritten. It'll also warn about the 'settings' and 'spawnlist' folders if you didn't click 'Yes to All', but you can click 'Yes' on those warnings too. Be sure to delete the 'SuperMarioGalaxy' folder you made before though, so you don't confuse Gmod.
It should work then :)

-
have you played X-COM 1 Gorman Conall?
No although i should, I have heard people say its vastly superior to the UFO series that i am playing now.
I am just not sure how much i would like it since its purely turn based, I like the hybrid thing UFO has going on.
-
You mean a real time globe and turn based battles?
If so, X-Com's like that.
-

No the whole game is actually real time, But when something new happens like an enemy gets spotted or such the game pauses to let me modify my troops actions. I can also pause and unpause whenever i feel like by hitting space bar.
Once i modify my plans the game unpauses and runs in real time until i pause it again or something else unexpected happens.
-
Ah. My mistake. I misread the wikipedia article.
-
DS games and the game Bored. Starting to become a real pro at it. >.>

Had Fallout 3 for about two weeks, and I've already got 50 hours of play. Not to mention I've only just reached "Waters of Life" in the story.

Sorry yanich
I played fallout 3 once at a freinds house, I enjoyed it. But I only got passed the growing up stage.
-
Gonna go over to my buddy's house tomorrow to play video games. I'll bring Demon's Souls and Fallout 3. And maybe Risk, depending on how many people are coming over. Board games, FTW!
-
Oh dear lord, I have never played risk
Whatthe objective ?

You play with 2 or more people, you start with set countries, and you try to take over the world and conquer each other. It's a war game.
-
Sounds intreguing.
-
It is, at least for me. It's my favorite board game.
Also, to get back on topic, I'm playing HeartGold.
-
I am playing some Burnout Paradise SOON TO BE SWITCHING TORAGDOLL KUNG FU
-
Toribash: It's awesome.
That's what I'm playing, with shaders.
-
All I ever managed to do in that game is fall over and spasm on the floor.
-
Toribashs learning curve no doubt reaches the moon in a straight up vertical incline.
But its a blast to play online when you get good.
Anyway you ever all of sudden have an urge to play like 50 of yours games at once?. I'm going through that so i am jumping through a lot of them.
The UFO series.
Roller coaster tycoon 3 with x packs.
Jagged edge 2.
Sacrifice.
Commando's 3.
Freedom Force.
Spore
-
You pretty much only have to play online if you want to enjoy toribash. you learn all the moves online.
-

That depends.
You need to go offline and set the mode to whatever you plan on playing online (like judo), And learn to punch kick etc in it, Then come up with some opening moves.
You cant really counter people online if you have no idea how to move your arms or legs where you want them to go.

Stopped playing Sins Of A Solar Empire ($10).. too much of a time sink and the AI isn't all that bright.
Picked up from the cheap bin:
Ford Racing 3 - $4 - Simple racer, but a mellow time waster.
RACE'07:WTCC - $4 - A very nice racer based on the World Tour Cars races. The arcade to realism slider being extremely long and highly details allowing for 'just have fun' to 'throttle wrong and die'. The details are wild right down to bug splatters on your helmet visor.
I also found a Hard Truck MadMaxish game as well ($2) but I won't have a chance to tinker with it for a couple days.
The Beatles Rockband is also using up my time. :)

Replaying Spore GA version....
>__>
<__<
SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!
-
Magenti...
Nah, just kidding. What's wrong with replaying it?
-
That it's worse than playing it the first time
Sorry, we can't let the spore debate breach the surface again.
-
Magenti...
Nah, just kidding. What's wrong with replaying it?
You just answer your own question. -__-
Oh and I am playing Turok, almost forgot about that. Knifing dinosaurs in the neck is awesome. Though I suck at shooting the arrows. >__>
-
Gmod is awesome. I'm playing that, but now I have a bunch of addons.
-
Really, though, it is a lot worse replaying it than playing it the first time.
Also, I'm playing Half Life 2.
STUPID NINJA!
-
Saying the word Ninja at all other than to talk about an actual Ninja in history is worse than getting ninja'd.
What's so bad about replaying it, though? It's not a bad game, it just didn't live up to the hype. But really, the Citizen Kane of games wouldn't have lived up to the hype. The Second Coming(excuse the religious comparison) wouldn't have lived up to the hype.
-
I'm not saying it wasn't a great game, I'm just saying it's not as fun playing it the 2nd, 4th, or 10th time through. I like Spore.
-
I don't like the game, not because it didn't live up to the hype, but because it's a crappy game imo.
-
Doing: Company of Heroes
Not doing: homework

TF2: Prophunt
Mucho fun.

I've started playing Spore again the last few nights. I've missed it.

Nice.

I'm also getting an interest in Triangle. I haven't beaten it yet though.

Morrowind, Daggerfall, Myst, and soon, Bloodlines! :D

Well, of course! And this is coming for a long time Oblivion player. When I first played the game I got bored out of my mind and didn't look back (Though I did like it, just wasn't my taste). Then, when we moved to egypt and my computer with oblivion on it got shipped, I decided to give it a chance.
I fell in love with it! After you get used to the lame combat system you'll find that the game is more immersive and as much fun as Oblivion is.

Dwarf Fortress.

Picked up Combat Wings:Battle of Britian off of Steam for $5. That is about all it is worth. Best way to discribe it is Freelancer combat with WWII fighters. Cute and fun. A nice time waster. $5 is asking about all it is worth.
Bought Eufloria after playing the original demo. For $15 I thik I'll get my time out of it.
Gonna go play Spore so my son can watch (he broke his arm and has a major case of cabin fever already)
For the control, the alt, and the delete, so there!

Well i haven't really played civ4 properly before, so i just did a warmup game, on the easiest against one opponent, it wasn't a challenge, but one thing bugged me.
Why do archers and macemen still manage to kill tanks and marines?
-
Odd...i have never seen that...that's the prime reason i never ever ever play Civ 3 because that was stupid.
But in Civ 4 they fixed that.

I was playing civ 4...

Yeah I just started this again. I killed the music and turned up the volume. I'm just slowly working through it, listening to all the dialog. The little details are standing out much more now that I'm not cosntantly expecting gunfire at every corner.

-
I wish I could play it again.
I love that game with a passion, but I have played it so many times! Playing through it twice in one weekend really makes you not want to play it for a LONG time.
I got the mod that replaces almost all sounds with some guys voice, I played with that for a bit, but I couldn't play it for too long.

Eufloria - ($15) So far pretty much the same as Dyson. Granted I only play every couple days. The music isn't any better.
18 Wheels of Steel American Long Haul - (steam $10) I enjoyed earlier versions of this game as a numb time waster. However this has done nothing to help game play. I left Minneapolis accidentally running a stop light and ended up with a $4000 ticket in Grand Forks.... it isn't even the same flipping state! The fatigue model also sucks, and cops have some mystical way of telling you are over your hours of service (reality says only a DOT officer can even look at your log book). I give the game a 4 out of 10 so far (and only after hacking the config file to turn off the cops) and that is being nice.
Hard Truck Apocalypse - ($2) ... um.. so bad its good. An absolutely simple 'trucking adventure game' with a simple plot and missions with mediocre AI at best. But there is just something about roaring sixteen 12.7mm machines guns (Russian made game) in to targets that keeps me coming back.I've got $20 worth of play out of this $2 game.

Indeed, I'll try them out again! I'll also check out Baldur's Gate, or maybe KOTOR?
-
Hmm... Gate is a good idea, but I would reccomend Temple of Elemental Evil first. It runs on one disk instead of five, it has a much more detailed karma system, it lets you create your entire starting party instead of just one character, and it's turn-based (making it much easier to control six people at once). If you have yet to play BG, play Temple first.

Playin myself some moar Dungeon Fighter Online...
Trying out a few demos on steam, I need to go back and finish creed 1 at some point.
Don't you hate it when the "demo version" of a game has a level cap and doesn't tell you? First happened to me in my City of Villains trial, got up to 14 and turned in an entire two levels worth of quests before realizing that it wasn't giving me any XP for them. Happened to me again today with the Torchlight demo, only I caught myself after turning in the first quest on my list.
Anyone know if buying it would give me that XP back?

Doesn't really matter the amount of XP you acquire from quests is vastly insignificant to the monotonous grinding of the countless mobs in the dungeons

No no the dialogue is great, the combat is horrible!

its all about the benjamins combatz
-
I actually really like the Mass Effect combat it's one of my favourite parts of the game.
-
Yeah, its kewl.
Feels more real than a lot of other shooters.
-
The only reason the combat can be bad, is because of the masses of side missions that end up being just walking into a bunker and shooting a load of people. You don't have to do them, but the delicious experience...

It seems that some people are discovering that RPGs just aren't cut out for them...

And that's why we have games like Gears of War!
-
No I like RPGs but I don't like Mass Effect or Morrowind.
-
It seems that some people are discovering that RPGs just aren't cut out for them...
Oh don't get me wrong I like RPGs, but they should have some flow to them. So far Mass Effect is start-stop-start-stop and Morrowind appears to be an unguided grind (I probably just missed an NPC that is important somewhere).
-Lego
-
Oh no, Morrowind is pretty much sandbox as far as I could tell. Like an MMO without the second M and the O. Or maybe I just got bored of it too quickly.
-
Morrowind is primarily exploration based; The Best moments I had in that game were exploring. That's actually why I like the vanilla game so much. Combat is boring and painful (ba dum tish) yes, but you'll get the hang of it eventually.
But you need patience for it though. It's a slow game at the start. If you aren't willing to go through the rocky beginning just because it involves missing and lots of walking, you might as well give up on it. Also, have you read or journal yet? Or talking to any NPC's? (You can Adjust the dialogue boxes if the text is too tiny for you)
As for Gorman, I'm aware your main problem with both games is mainly combat: Have you tired playing a mage in Morrowind? It's hard yes, but imo, it's much more fun than regular combat. As for Mass Effect, well I have no idea how to help you here since I've never played it myself.
Otherwise, most RPG's aren't cut out for you guys. Believe it or not, Morrowind is a rather simplistic RPG in comparison to games such as Planescape: Torment and Fallout. Though then there are RPG's like Oblivian..
-
Oh no I am a big RPG player and always have been, in recent years I do tend to lean toward RPGs that feature real time combat however. Turn based just does not cut it anymore which is one of the key reasons I cant play most MMOs. However morrowinds combat is just horribly boring. Mass effects feels like a good book with tacked on RPG and shooter elements.
I like Dragon age a lot, as well as all three fallouts and much more. And I love grid based RPGs like final fantasy tactics to death. Mass effect and Morrowin just don't click with me. It in no way shows that RPGS aren't cut out for me as I have played them for as long as I havehad something to play games on.
-
Sorry, I didn't mean any offense.
I can see what you mean though; As much as I love the game, Morrowind's combat is dreadful. IMO, Oblivion's combat wasn't much better (It had it's own flaws too), but I had fun with Fallout 3. However, If your still interested in either game, you shouldn't let one poor aspect of the game-play stop you. Just my advice.
Anyway, time to get back on topic.
-
And yet Dragon Age is stop-start with walls of text and combat that also boils down to MMO-style ground-circles stabbing each other repeatedly, and occasionally using talents. I know what you mean though, but most RPGs actually fall into the wall-of-text stop-startian grindcombat slot. Meh, still, everyone to their own I guess. It just reminded me of when I complained that some games were only about building walls of units and hurling them at enemy bases until they eventually crumbled. Rather than fine strategy, it was about speed, familiarity and rock-paper-scissors reaction. Thats about the point I realised I just didn't like 90% of RTS games. :P
-

Comparing Dragon Age to an MMO should be a crime >_>
Though you are partially correct the combat..at first glace is similar. However in any MMO I can just click any average enemy, walk away from my computer come back and have won. Dragon age will hand you your ass if you don't tactical pause and utilize tactics and strategy. Every battle in Dragon age is engaging and you have a plethora of tactics at your disposal and strategy's you can use.
Not to mention that the combat is actually fun to watch, from freezing an enemy and then shattering him. To shield bashing an enemy to the ground, catching one in a bear trap or the super awesome critical kills. It looks real without losing any depth to it. I remember when I first started as a mage and the combat had already impressed me, then not to far along a small dinosaur pounced on my characters face and killed him..I nearly fell out of chair.
-

Come off it Gorman.
I admit I haven't played that many MMOs, but I did put a month or two into WoW and was drowning in freaking clicky buttons and one shot cooldown abilities. No way you could beat those god-damned Boards without firing off all your special abilities :P
-
of course you can it's just more likely than not that you will die if you just attack regularly seeing how in WoW every other attack seems to be missed, dodged, parried or blocked
-
A good rpg game i'd recommed is The Witcher, and the combat is actually pretty good, real time and not just hack and slash either.

DA:O the combat is very much like that of an MMO like WoW but you are controlling the whole raid party. Instead of just say one warrior trying to keep agro you also manage the DPS and healing.
-
Disciples III and Supreme Commander. >.>
-
Still Morrowind.
I want new game waaaah. Already beat PST (I should replay that again sometime) and KOTOR.
-
Snork, if you haven't yet you should try Neverwinter Nights. The first one should run easily on your old rig.
Until I find a way to get my PC to cooperate again, I'll be playing around with MadWorld I guess.
-
Persona 4 and Mass Effect
-
Medieval II Total War. Takin' over Europe. Again.
-
Mass Effect. 2.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
Oh thanks a lot Snork, now I'm playing NwN again.
Seriously though, thanks.
Word of warning: I just found this out the hard way. Starting a new game does NOT create a new autosave file, so if you make a second character be sure to save the first one even if you just stopped play at an autosave.
-
Troll Tycoon... or did I dream that? ;D
aRE YOU READY TO BE TROLLLLLED, wITHIN AN INCH OF YOUR MISERABLE HUMAN CORTEX,

Right now as always I am playing TF2 and L4D2.
Of Course, tomorrow I'll probably get ME2.
Lots of 2s.

Wait. What?

You can use a DS to put it in the game if you have D/P with it in, I think.
Edit: and you can get it in D/P through heartgold/soulsilver.
Alternately, ActionReplay.

You find a legendary beast in FR/LG after beating the elite four after they've been upgraded, the particular beast depends on your starter.

Clonk Endeavor..addicting does not do this game justice...

I've been playing Munchkin, but that is a card game and not a video game.
Awesome. Me and my friends play that quite a lot. It gets pretty insane when you have about 8 different decks mixed together.
French/Dutch One third Elf, one third Cyborg, one third Bard (In old edition, bard is a race), Cultist/Bounty Hunter/Cleric.
With Gold plated eleven foot pole duck taped to a Laser laser bobaser bananafanafofaser.

What, all that and no kneepads of allure?
Pfft, ameteurs.
Anyways, I'll be running DFO again since I'm too lazy to install anything after the reformat.
-
An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire.
-
It's funny I have 250+ Steam games and the only one I usually play is Left 4 Dead 2, maybe I should start playing Penumbra or Mass Effect since I haven't tried either yet, I'd keep playing Dragon Age Origins if the game didn't decide to crash on the exact same place all the time and I have to finish that quest to continue...
-
I'm currently playin
Hearts of Iron 2 - Playing as Norway is good fun, until the Germans arrive...
Quake 3
Stalker SoC
Battlefield Bad Company 2 beta - It's an unbelievably atmospheric game, fun too.
A New Zero - some indie game that is hilarious fun, you should totally check it out. (http://www.crypticsea.com/anewzero/) We should make a server and play together sometime.
Finished Mass Effect 2, felt like an expansion pack, not a new game.
And some Silent Hunter 3 - good fun.
-
Mass Effect 2
-
I finished Eversion, will try out Battlespire (If it can stop lagging D:<) and still playing Morrowind.
-
still playing Morrowind.
It's good to be back.

Also, I went back to give dragon age another try (Didn't like it the first time as a warrior)
Mage is fun. Grease + Fireball + RUN AWAY! = fun. :D
And I fell off the wagon, I reactivated my CoX account >_<
Sooo, a lot of RPGs

..Not to be *that* guy. But just because you are bad at the controls does not mean they dreadful. The alien controls just fine, granted I am on the 360 not the PC.
I am really stoked for this game to come out now.
-
... Wizard 101. I CAN'T LEVEL UP!!! (I'm level 10 on free play)
I remember playing that game back in beta, it was freakin amazing. I had a lvl 26 pyro/necro, then the server wipe hit when it went live and I didn't even have a paypal account at the time, just kinda lost interest. Maybe I'll check it out again, now that I have the funds.
Anyways, until then I'll keep playing Dungeon Fighter Online. Just made a new summoner and I want to test out how it plays in PvP.
-
I get stuck on roofs. There was a guy right below me and I couldn't just drop off the roof...
Not at all, i rack up 15-20 kills each match.
It's also really easy to kill someone. As far as I've played it.
-
Ofcourse i'm playing the AVP demo. It looks like i haven't lost my skills in controlling the dreadfull Alien >:D
*is pissed for not having this*
I wants to play as teh Alien! D:<
Its been so long.
*pets facehugger plushie*
So very, very long.
Anyway, I've been playing Little King's Story. Its is surprisingly fun, like Pikmin only... With royal music everywhere. It amuses me to no end to be called King Grazony. :P
-
Ok, I don't know what to play. I'm taking a break from Mass Effect 2 right now.
(This is more for me then you guys, but whatever :P)
Do I want to play:
Shooter
Borderlands
Battle Field: Bad Company
Mass Effect*
RPG
Mass Effect*
Dragon Age
Torchlight
City of Heroes (Yes, I fell off the wagon... again)
Racing
Forza 3
Burnout Paradise
Pure
Strategy
Civ Rev
Civ 4
Other
Sims 3
*I think Mass Effect should go in two category's since it's more of a shooter this time.
I dunno, but that's most of the games I own, lol :D
-
Embrace the wagon, I say! Embrace it!
After all, you're paying for it either way so you might as well get your fix.
-
True, Sigh, this game is going to be the death of me :D
-
I just have to say something about AvP controls.
The controls are perfect for the alien.
If you find it sluggish or broken, you're doing it wrong, sometimes there's like two marines shooting at me from different angles, in two seconds I'm out of there.
You just have to sprint the hell out and make as many turns as possible to find a place to recuperate and get your bearings so you can catch them off guard.
It's hilarious to find a marine standing piss-scared up against a wall in a corner looking around frantically for anything that moves. I just crawl slowly down the wall he is backed up against, sit down next to him and tap R to hiss.
Then I bite his face off.
I always smile when I perform a "backstab" move where the marine stares at you with a brick****ting stare, I can't help but smile as if I'm smiling at the player I just killed.
-
Yeah veraal, i'm glad you're enjoying the demo as well. This game is Badass To The Max!
I had a killstreak of 11 a few matches ago. It almost gave me a hard wiener ;)
The alien feels so great to play. I haven't played any other races yet but never change a winning team ;)
EDIT: Just played the marine, and i must say it totally rocks too. Rebellion pulled this off really freakin' fantastic. ;D
-
So i installed the battlefield bad company:2 beta, the server lag is unbearable, so i'll have to find something else to play now.
-
Yeah, no **** munch. I get disconnected from the server after at least ten minutes, it's something about the router and most battlefield games that don't mix.
And the lag, yeah. Pretty horrible.
Also, Xeno, have you played as a Predator?
That **** makes no sense. It's just so awkward and stiff.
Marine is like being a real human being, I like how you're not inhumanly fast or strong considering the weight you're carrying.
Movement as an Alien feels like being a ****ing river or something, that's how smooth it goes.
-
Predators actually my favorite one to play. It makes me feel like I'm the hunter and everyone else is running from me :D. Surprisingly I enjoy all three species, this looks to be a great multiplayer game.
-
Just got sucked back in to Eve Online. I've been exploring for wormholes, found one last night and got sucked through. I then looked around a really nice empty system just ripe for the picking. Warped back to the wormhole as it closed...
LOST IN SPACE!
Took well over an hour to find a new wormhole, re-entered known space 40 jumped from where I left. Made it 4 before getting podded. Seems the locals didn't care much for my finding a back door in to their sector of space.
-Lego
-
Thought I'd try out the AvP demo. Played a few games. Though it was pretty fun, but wasn't all that bothered.
One game playing as an alien against two marines working together later, and I've went from indifferent to contemplating a Pre-Order.
-
Currently playing Mass Effect 1, replaying ME 2, and Tales of Vesperia. Actually, I bought Tales of Vesperia but can't seem to play more than 5 minutes of it at a time without getting bored. Also playing some Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer.
Downloading the AvP demo too.
-
Found a norwegian hosted server for BC2 beta.
I went up like a thousand ranks doing the map over and over.
Lol AvP got a mediocre score by some reviewer mag.
But then again, reviewer mags have never mattered.
And yes, the game is ****ty.
But it's fun.
-
I'm mostly playing Aurora, despite the bugs.
-
Yeah I think I'm canceling my subscription to GI. A 5.75 is ridiculous and the review itself looked like it was wrote by a young kid. Anymore if a company is not large enough to line a reviewers pockets they get a shabby score. That said I actually am forcing myself to stop playing it. I'm going to burn myself out on it before it even come out. I have been playing it all the time.
-
Lego rock band on my DS, got it for $15 from a sears going out of business. Also got No More Heroes 2, I'll be playing that a lot.

Eve online seems to be a good game, but to be able to compete you would have had to started playing back when it first launched... That is why I never tried it.

Considering the game has no levels nor experience points I am not what you mean. I like it because its an MMO in the actual sense of the word and not what you normally would associate with the genre.
-
Costs, skill training times (online and off, one character per account training at any one time), the PvP ethics with hardline business/piracy/etc and humongous pre-established uber-rich over-equipped groups, huge griefing potential as the side-effect of huge freedom of interaction. Its likely that you can only stay solo/smalltime for so long, then you're just a sitting meal for organised piracy unless you let yourself get sucked into a larger group, and ultimately sacrifice some of your freedom to some virtual company rules. It might be quite a dynamic MMO given the group interactions and classless system, but it is still an MMO all the same.
-
Eve changed the probing system a while back and now I cruise the systems looking for hidden objects. I've been driving through a lot of wormholes just for fun.
I made the mistake when I started of jumping in on a large corp/alliance operation and found myself bored with a 'second job'. Now I just do what I want. Combat, sure. Explore, sure. Mine or haul cargo, sure.
The problem with Eve is that it has an insane learning curve, a ruthless PVP environment, and you always feel like you're going to die. But once you get over that, its actually a fun game and if you can get in to a good corp you can find a lot of fun people to hang out with.
If you are new to the game, play the tutorial missions! They will give you a taste of what is going on in the game. Once you have finished them, take your ship and set a course for out in the middle of 0.0 space (like system 373z-7). Yes, you will probably die. Get yourself killed right off the bat to know how it works and what it feels like. If you get podded, big deal, you're new and don't have any implants (plus it is worth hearing the computer scold you for dying). You'll get a new starter ship and be right back at the base you started at. Now go play the game normally.
I know people that go and die repeatedly right off the bat just to see how far the can go. Sometimes people will start a conversation with, offer help, etc... not everybody in the game is a back stabbing ganker.(maybe 30%)
http://evemap.battleclinic.com/ <--- ever wonder what the game universe looked like outside of the game... go here. If you have a modern computer, after starting the map program, click on view and enable the full graphics. (you will need to close the program and restart it.

I know that. But what is this Easy Mode of which you speak? There is only normal, hard, insane, and "die on the first enemy in Stage 1 within 3 seconds."
I played normal mode.

I never played sim city 4, but I played the older ones when I was a kid.
I know that Sim City 4 is the hardest, so much so that they changed the game style (society's), but I'm in that kind of mood.
What do you think? Should I go to the store and get it? It's only $20 now.
Any tips or suggestions would be nice.

Go get it, it's a lot better than the older ones. Especially if you have the patience and time to really plan your city (and wade through the six years worth of mods to get that extra unique feeling to it).

It doesn't really seem that hard at all, at least a couple days into it. I honestly don't see what's so complicated about it.
In all honesty, it feels about as complicated as Runescape was. Pretty much click and wait combat, tons of individually trained skills, and a huge focus on economy with multi-tiered gathering processes.

PS2 (Got it from my brother): Jak X: Combat Racing
One of my personal all time favorites, just for the multiplayer. The best part is that you actually earn the game's currency from multiplayer games, so bring the thing to a nerd party and you'll be able to upgrade pretty much everything to the maximum stats. I know I did :P

I just finished Mass Effect! 2, here I come!

Been playing a lot of BC2 lately.
Finally got the urge to finish up Bioshock 2, loved the ending :D
Started my second playthrough of Metro 2033 to get the alternate ending, but my friend accidently erased my progress, so that's on hold.
As of now, BC2 whenever I get the itch, finishing up yet another playthrough of ME2 (douche rocket renegade this time), and a bit of League of Legends with my brother.

finally got around to playing gta, nearly finished san andreas, playing gta 4 next

What a cool idea for an MMO. Not terribly well executed in my opinion, but hey.

Rock band 2 was only just released in Australia I only could find it in 1 store and picked it up a week ago.

Today is a patch day for Eve Online, which is what I play mostly these days (Dwarf Fortress some too).
Humor note: The new Eve patch just came on-line. They screwed up the group security settings for everybody. If you fly to a friendly space staion (POS) you will be gunned down as an intruder. For those that play WoW, this would be like walking in to the auction house in Ironforge and seeing all the town guards killing all the alliance players.

Fun. The new patch looks kinda neat too.

I can run Last Stand on a three year old single core laptop, and STILL manage 15-20 fps on the original map. Granted, everything is low or off barring Physics (had that on), but it still runs fast enough to be playable.

I got kind of pissed at it. I mean, I played for three hours once before I got rid of it, because I spent $10 on it and I wanted to get my money's worth (not that I usually pour that much time into a casual game) and leave to go to the bathroom or something and they're all dead. So yeah. I like Pocket Frogs on the App Store, though, so I don't know.
I am currently playing the first Ratchet and Clank game. Never played the series before and saw it for five bucks. Some of the enemies in that game are kind of hellish. Like those man-eating frog things. Weird, and annoying.

You should get an asian friend or two, they will help you with that.
At least, that's how I think I got so good. SSBB and MvC3 were a large part of my senior year in highschool/freshman college so I think I am pretty good.
But REAL TALK:
H/Heavy = circle/B
M/Medium = triangle/Y
L/Light = square/X
S/Special = X/A
What teams are you trying?
Amateratsu is a good beginner character since: forwardH(ie, running towards them and hitting Circle/B) + H + H + H + H + H + S + jump + M + M + H + S is a very easy, like, stupidly easy, combo that does a shocking amount of damage. Or if you are more advanced or wanting a bigger punch and have 3 super meter ready, you can just forwardH combo and instead of using the Special, just use his level 3 hyper and it will auto hit them and deal significant damage if you can time it AS SOON AS THE LAST COMBO OF HEAVY ATTACKS ENDS. Another fun thing, his backHyper slows time, good for when you are playing against someone who is better at comboing than you since during slowed time, combos usually will be interrupted if they try to start one.
Hulk is also a great beginner character. His Heavy attack has super armor and thus can usually never be interrupted (even if he is hit mid swing) thus if you can connect an easy to his H you can H + S + jump + M + M + H + S + land on ground + GAMMA TSUNAMI for another shockingly large amount of dmg. If they are ranged and wont let you approach, airSpecial is an overhead AND it knocks them to the ground. So instead of starting with H, you can airSpecial + land + S + jump + M + M + H + S + land on ground + GAMMA TSUNAMI
Finally: Sentinal. **** yeah. This guy. MMmmmm. Heavy = laser attack, Duck heavy = low laser attack. If they aren't jumping, spam that ****. The trick is to alternate Heavy, downHeavy, Heavy, downHeavy (since if they block or it connects, it cancels and you can IMMEDIATELY followup, so spam that button if you see they aren't going to dodge it). They will not be able to move and will just take a crap ton of chip dmg. However, if they jump towards you, then you can usually jump + special and combo, or just Special and combo haha, but your lasers will only hurt you if they dodge it since the cooldown off it sucks if it doesnt hit/get blocked.
His downMedium also has super armor.
So if you can get in training and in a corner try downMedium + S + jump + M + M + H + S + land + RocketPunch(light) + Overload/ForwardHyper + RocketPunch(medium) + S + M + M + H + AirHyper (at least i think this is how it works, my roomie took PS3 for Spring break so I can't test to make sure...)
Note: Alot of combos in air usually consist of MMHS or LMMHS if you have a faster character.
-
I'm trying to play vergil/wesker/strider
haven't had time to sit down with the game lately though...
-
Yeah, all of those are some of the hardest champs to play in the game, I would suggest trying the three i recommended to get the basic combos down so you can get up to those levels. (Especially Vergil and wesker...)
-
sat down with the game for a couple hours last night and today, few questions for ya erops
how do I do those triple hyper combos (where all team mates run out and fire off)
how do I do delays
how do i do cancels
how do I do an aerial counter (stopping enemy from swapping in another member and air juggling)
Is there a quick recover like in blazblue
other than that I'm getting the hang of a few characters

Is there a quick recover like in blazblue
other than that I'm getting the hang of a few characters
The triple hypers I just hold R1/L1 (RB/LB), the longer I hold, the more allies that use their special. AFAIK the special they use is determined by the assist. (Though unless you're at like, an arcade and want to do something flashy, you should never do these since they suck in tandem more often than not).
Now, if you mean having multiple team mates hyper in the same go (ie, Hulk does Gamma Tsunami, then Sentinal switches in and does Overload, then Akuma switches in for kamehameha) you just have to input the hyper you want and do it while they're ending (or starting) their hyper.
Example, as Hulk does Gamma Tsunami, you can tag in Sentinel RIGHT as Hulk grabs the ground, thus canceling Hulks special and starting Sents (which special depends on which input you used). Or, you can have Hulk go through with Gamma Tsunami and as he does his little ending animation, you can hyper input and tag in a Sent hyper that way.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'how' you do delays, they're a timing thing in this game. IDK, practice I suppose will teach you when you need to delay a hit to get the OTG or combo.
Cancels are done by doing another move as you're in the process of using a move. The Sentinel Heavy is a move that is a great example on how to cancel. As far as I am aware, you can only cancel if you hit/get blocked, if you miss, you cannot cancel into another move. Again, only certain characters/moves do this so it's up to you to learn which ones you can cancel out of.
(Go to practice and do Heavy+downHeavy repeatedly with Sent, then have them jump and try to get the one two to learn get an idea of how canceling works) (Miss a few times with the regular Heavy then try to follow up with a downHeavy and see how much slower it goes since it didn't cancel)
Aerial counters are tricky in that you can never truly time it and it's more just lucky timing and preparedness. Hold down and tap X(A) like a mad man and hope that you hit X on the exact moment the screen freezes suddenly. It's a pure gamble but if you are being air combo'd it is good to hold Down and tap X always, just in case they do decide to tag in combo (increasing your odds of stopping it greatly if you're already doing it, the odds of getting the right moment are better since you dont need a real reaction time).
No quick recover that I am aware of.

Unfortunately it will be released on Steam so I will never, ever get it. Please do not ask me why, for your own safety.

Yes.

Okay. If anyone does not want to read this, don't.
Okay so I have dial-up. Yes, I can get hi-speed, but I am turned off by the whole two year contract thing and don't really want to get stuck in that. I purchased Portal 2 from my local retailer knowing that it required Steam and willing to pay the bill for the three hours to download steam. I assumed that I wouldn't have to download it because it CAME ON A F**ING DISK WHICH IS USED FOR STORING DATA, AND, IN MANY CASES, GAMES. But no. I instead was required to download the game and the disk apparently only had the installer for steam on it. Gamestop has a if-it's-open-you-can-not-return-it-ever policy so I am now stuck with a $40 dolla coaster unless I someday purchase a PS3 or XBOX360, which do not require internet to activiate the game, as far as I know.
There. You asked for the rant.

Now that I got Terraria to update (it would refuse to before) I have been playing it. I have also been looking into mods for it. I am unsure if I want to try any of them out. Obsidian and Cmod look cool.

I heard that some Terraria mods could actually get you Steam banned. Not sure if it's true or not, but still...figured I'd say something :-\
Anyway, I've been playing a lot of a neat little Indie sci-fi game called Evochron Mercenary, available on Steam. You play as, as the title would imply, a mercenary. Either a hard-core mercenary mercenary, a space racer, a combat pilot, or a miner/trader. It's quite entertaining, with the plus side of being able to screw around with Newtonian physics.

Trials 2.
It's sooooooooo good!

I'm trying out Aion since it went free to play recently.
It's alright, very much like WoW but not quite as exciting as Rift. Rift always had you involved in something, and you could join in on events and group with people on the fly with no hassle.
Aion is more the old style. It feels a little more appealing than WoW did though. Never really understood why they didn't expand their character creation process...
I often describe Rift as WoW 2.0, but I'd describe Aion as WoW 1.3, if that makes sense.
I heard they updated Rift recently though and full-retard casualized everything.
All this old-fashioned wankery does though is make me want Guild Wars 2 more and more.
Maybe I'll go try Tera a little. EDIT: Whoops. Few days too late for that. Oh well.
Oh, yeah. I don't know why but EVERYONE on Aion chat is always bitching about Tera.
-
I tried WoW out a few months ago.
It was about what I expected. MMOs are not worth the time or effort.
-
Your one of the lucky ones..many who enter the Wow never return..for awhile.
-
Yeah. I dunno how people can do it, I can play WoW for about three weeks at the most, then I just get tired of it. I'll come back to it like six months later, play for like another three weeks, then piddle out on it.
Does that make me a lucky one too? Or just...uh..."semi-lucky"? :P

90% of us that play it regularly play it for 3 reasons
1) troll the chat channels
2) hang out with friends on skype/vent
3) troll low level battlegrounds with our blinged out twink characters

Still in EVE but thinking about taking a break since the last patch screwed up a lot. I tried to play X3 but not sure it is really a decent replacement to EVE. Apples to McDonald's orange drink.
Back in to WoW because the family plays. Not really enjoying it much, but it is a 'family game night' event.
Played with the Portal kit, but my creations keep hitting limitations of the interface.
If I leave EVE I might go back to building planes in X-Plane.

I've got probably a good 80 hours into the game now, still not even close to the end (and then theres new game+ and the bonus dungeon with the bonus boss to fight)
the main quest will take you about 10 hours if you rush straight through them but your more than likely going to get sidetracked by other stuff, since some quests will have a timer (saving your childhood friend who runs off into the woods and will invariably come back to haunt you later on if you skip over it, or saving a rare item merchant from false persecution, or finding a magical tome for a wizard who if you do will come save your butt during a hard boss fight)
the lack of fast travel is probably my favorite part, the world actually tries to make you explore the world finding shortcuts and faster ways to reach further destinations (which generally have more powerful baddies) before nightfall and you get your face stomped in by the even bigger ghoulies that come out to play. It's also nice because of the random events, bandit raids on you, monsters attacking caravans, saving people that have been captured by ogres and stuff all happen as your just minding your business trekking back to the capital.
the pawn system can get....a bit annoying and make early game very curbstompish (im only lv 32 and my allies are all max job lv 60s that have knowledge of nearly everything) but it actually does help at times, an ally that knows a gryphon better will know to strike its wings to force it to fall to the ground and then burn it to smithereens
all in all, it's fun, the boss monsters are challenging fights and its kept me from getting bored when I realize a new tactic for fighting a golem or beholder
-
Kerbal Space Program, Space Marine, Team Fortress 2, Garry's Mod 13, and Portal 2 when it doesn't make my graphics card have an aneurysm (great game, by the way!).
-
finally beat dragons dogma and starting ng+
things I hated:
all melee classes are essentially useless even as meatshields since monsters just always go for who does the most damage which is always the mages, you get maybe 1-2 abilities at max vocation for melee classes that can do crap tons of damage but the set up times are ridiculous (warriors can 1 shot cyclops with their ultimate ability but it takes almost 45 seconds to charge)
your allies AI wont SPAM their spells if they are casters, if a monster is weak to fire, they will use their fireball once then wait about 2 minutes before using another fire type attack, they also do stupid enchants, sans darkness when fighting undead.
grappling monsters is pretty much useless as you either end up getting hit by their hitbox somehow or just get stuck in the "struggle" recovery position.
the final dungeon is almost as bad as the water temple
the big bad boss before the final dungeon drops only 1 weapon, a greatsword for warriors which is the single strongest greatsword in the game, completely throwing them into overkill territory for the final dungeon since the weapon is 3x stronger than any other weapon available at the shops at that point.
things that were awesome:
the plot twist was interesting, made me feel like a dick for not doing every single quest in the game.
fighting never got stale
there's no arrows in the knee
monsters dont scale with your level so you actually get a sense of becoming stronger as you progress through the game and become able to venture further from the capital to stronger monster infested zones
hybrid vocations like magik archer and mythic knight were a lot of fun to play, mainly because they were sorcerers that actually weren't glass cannons
people will actually be pissed off at you if you don't help them on their quests
the fact that your characters size, muscularity, weight, etc actually factor in to how much crap he can carry and how quickly he will become exhausted
yea so....going to go play ng+ for another 100+ hours bai bai
-
odd that you dont mention pawns never shutting the hell up.
and im doing well enough as a melee class myself, except when fighting special monsters like zombies, where you pretty much need fire.
the grappling thing works well actually, but you have to time it right

i never really listened to the pawns since I had music on most of the time, and thats kind of my point with melee classes 90% of the enemies your going to battle in the last hours of the game all need elements or fly around, it's a pain in the ass swinging your sword around hoping to smack down a wyvern. and yea grappling does work wonders but i don't like how I sometimes will randomly get smashed into thin air for no reason and almost die

Just finished a 13 hour game of Medieval II.
Played as Egypt. By the time I took Constantinople and won, the empire held the entire southern half of the map and a good bit of Northern France and England. They entirely encircled the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, controlled Gibraltar, Bosphorus, as well as the Nile. Rome fell almost immediately after the failure of the first Crusade (totally tried to take Jerusalem from Egypt) and the rest of the game was spent killing Popes every few decades. The dude just won't go away. Though it got a bit easier to track the weirdo down once the Holy Roman Empire became a vassal state. Yeah... that was cool.
Really good game. Probably never gonna play Medieval II ever again.
-
We played that game, never finished one though. Some interesting things do happen. I think I played Sweden.

We should also do the GoT Mod.

No we shouldn't.

Dude. I mean yeah it is imba.
But dude. I wanna go Tywin on everyones ass haha.
Oh well
-
We're gonna have to lay down some ground rules beforehand, though.
Start as Dukes?
-
Yeah but if we do that we would have to all be in the same kingdom for it to be really exciting....
-
Maybe in the HRE or the Byzantine Empire?
-
Well, yeah both of those are good. I'm hesistant on both though since in HRE electorate is pretty much a numbers game and we have a bunch of manipulative AI (though it can be argued that's part of the strategy; who can piss off the least amount of AI lords haha), and in Byzantine we have like, mongols and arabs and **** to worry about the whole time haha. Both sound fun though.
-

Actually I was talking about Crusader Kings up there ^^ (not that it matters at this point)
but I have played Medival II also and still never finished a game so it's still relevant.

Currently playing Civilization V and Fallout New Vegas.I'll confess that I've never beaten fallout 3..the bugs and glitches ruined the immersion aspect for me.
-
What mods are you running Fallout 3 with?
I used to love this one called the Realistic Sniping mod. Totally broke the game because it make sniping work the way it should. :P
But they've got some nice rebalance mods out now as well as graphical overhauls and other good tweaks.
-
Installed Real Time Settler mod awhile ago,but I probably installed wrong because it caused errors when I tried to start the game,I've actually uninstalled Fallout 3 to make room for Vegas,which is million times better,better story and fewer crashes!(although, it ran sluggishly until I turned off a few things like shadows)
-
Fallout 3 vs. New Vegas
GO!
-
Pat nobody likes Fallout 3 better.
-
Some people do! I've seen them... it's weird.
-
Lies.
-
Eh, the retcon DLC does alot for the game I think.
New Vegas is still the better game, but I think FO3 has the better environment. It has basically all the same things as Vegas except it has the bonus of also including the DC metro area; comparatively New Vegas' environment was pretty bland, and the 'strip' is an embarrassment.
-
So is Washington DC in Fallout 3.
-
I beg to differ. The mall was very well done, the trenches were fun as was the monument. They did a great job explaining away the whitehouse, and it was a nice walled off condensed version of the metro area. The Vegas strip was lifeless and had 5 buildings spread across 3 zones. It was a husk of what we were being sold as the most bumpin place in the West. At least the metropolitan area had the excuse of being dangerous.
-
See I thought they were both sparse and lifeless. Washington DC was filled with samey buildings and all of the cool architecture that makes the town stand out was gone. It felt like a caricature of a city.
-
Yeah that is what it was. I guess my problem stems from the fact I felt like it was supposed to feel lifeless, scary, and hostile. I thought it pulled that effect off well for what it was. It provided a likeness of the capital area that you were a badass survivor in. That was the pitch at the start.
New Vegas strip was empty, shallow, kind of ugly in the bad way, thus was a huge drawback for me. Hell, the town outside of Vegas has more character than the strip, yet the whole first half of the game is just trekking to this city only to finally be let in to find 4 lifeless NPCs per load screen sectioned zone that contained buildings with empty lobbies and empty rooms. **** I think Tenpenny towers had more people in it than all 3 casinos combined. It was a disappointment. The game makes the place out to be a boom town when its not fooling anybody.
Fo3 capital was received as pitched, NV wasn't and to me it made the whole experience cheaper. That bugged me a lot
-
I don't think dead and lifeless makes any sense given the frames of time in the Fallout universe and the differing factions. The biggest flaw in Fallout in my opinion is the distinct lack of life anywhere. It makes no sense that these places would be SO barren after such a long amount of time.
-
Yeah, right? Megaton has probably 15 NPCs and its like a big town. Bethesda games in general bug me because the game talks in a scale that it doesn't reflect. Elderscrolls have the same problem, huge cities that don't even pretend to have a huge population. How are we expected to believe that thr entire region of Skyrim has even hundreds of people, let alone thousands, when we are shown so little. Bioware games do a great job of reflecting a huge population in places when appropriate, even the Witcher caught on.
At least FO3 was halfway honest in its approach, thus whem Vegas presented me with more of the same when it sold me something else, it bugged me a bit.
But yeah their games are way to small scale for the worlds they sell us.
-
Definitely. The large scale of the world is undermined by the developers neglecting to understand that the best way to convey a true sense of scale is by doing lots of little things.
-
The funniest example of bad scale in a Bethesda game is Whiterun in Skyrim.
It has "districts", which must comprise about four houses each. Some NPCs even have some snobby dialogue about you not fitting into their 'district'.
Dude I can piss across your precious Cloud District.
-
Pretty sure that DRAGON THAT I KILLED WITH MY BARE HANDS is bigger than your district.
OH BY THE WAY DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU'RE GOING TO BEAT ME IN COMBAT? YOU JUST WATCHED ME KILL A DRAGON, DON'T ANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE THINGS YOU'VE SEEN ME DO??
Can you guess what my other problem with these games is? I don't understand why people lose control of their bowels over Bethesda. Their games are consistently mediocre and with the sole exception of graphics have not progressed an inch since Morrowind. Furthermore they only become reasonably playable after the modding community fixes them. And they've been fixing the same problems every time a game comes out.
Oh... Morrowind needs rebalanced combat, better textures, and general tweaks to its optimization? Okay.
Oh... Oblivion needs rebalanced combat, better textures, and general tweaks to its optimization? Okay.
Oh... Fallout 3 needs rebalanced combat, better textures, and general tweaks to its optimization? Okay.
Oh... New Vegas needs rebalanced combat, better textures, and general tweaks to its optimization? Okay.
Oh... Skyrim needs rebalanced combat, better textures, and general tweaks to its optimization? Okay.
What the ****ing ****, people. :|
-
Haha, yet no one has produced anything that's a first person open WRPG that's better. That's the craziest part. It's not as if Bethesda has a lock on the market.
-
I've met people that love Elder Scrolls games because of the "awesome combat"...
-
I recall a mod for Oblivion that made combat approach fun.
-
It's decent for ranged gameplay; I would rather they just bit the bullet and made it realistically lethal like the Souls games.
I find the lack of selection with swings to be as ridiculous as the fact a direct slice across someones head doesn't immediately kill them.
EDIT: At least provide the lethality as a difficulty option; More HP+DMG =/= more difficult Bethesda, its just more tedious.

How's the online multiplayer in Halo 2? I know some of my friends used to lose their stuff over it.
I don't actually know, because the original XBox Live doesn't exist anymore. I could do some weird LAN tunneling stuff using xlink but that doesn't seem to be very stable to me so I'm not going to mess with it. However, a few of my friends also have classic XBoxes, so we did set up a LAN party with Halo 1 and that worked fine.
You never played Fable? And you're going into it without horribly high expectations?

Well, Populous was pretty good and I enjoyed Black and White. Why shouldn't I get Molyneux'd?*
*How do you pronounce that name? I never knew.
-
Molly-new.
-
Oh, okay. That's what I thought but I've been corrected before.
-
Populous was arguably the only good game that man ever made.
Everything else has been lies and deceit. I will never forgive him for Black & White 2. Basically the dude talks up his games and sells a great idea and then totally fails to deliver. And he has done this with just about every game he's made. Worse, his games (in the case of B&W2) are so different than what he said it would be like that it's borderline offensive.
-
Populous was arguably the only good game that man ever made.
Pat I suggest you stop talking out of your ass. ;)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Keeper
also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndicate_%28video_game%29
Not played it myself but it seems to have a good reputation.
-
Let me tell you about Dungeon Keeper.
It has the same damn problem that all of his games have. They are insanely fun for about three days after you buy them, then you hit a wall and realize you can't really do all that much anymore. Then you start to think about it and realize you were never really doing all that much to begin with. Every level has you doing the same thing and it gets boring once they run out of new stuff to introduce. The game doesn't grow very much.
That's why Evil Genius is better in just about every conceivable way. At least it offers a larger game to play and when you meet certain requirements you unlock more types of play.
I've never played Syndicate so I can't fairly judge. But come on, cut me some slack here, Sam. You know I am amping up my argument because I'm passionate about my dislike for Peter Molyneux. I know full well he's made some decent games. So don't cherry pick what you are taking at face value today, asshole.
The fact of the matter is that Peter Molyneux is a pathological liar and regularly hypes his games in the absolute wrong way. And to make matters worse, people refuse to notice the pattern. He sits back and waits a few years for everyone to forget and then comes out with the next big lie. And that's fine, sure whatever. Not everyone has been burned like I have and I took personal offense to his behavior as a developer and as a hype man when it started costing me my time.
Black & White 2 was an abomination. Not because the gameplay lacked depth, not because the engine was buggy, and not because the story was garbage. No, the problem with Black & White 2 is that if you choose to play the good path, you get ****ed by the end of the game for doing so.
Playing the game as a good god means spending significantly more time per-level making sure everything goes right. Evil players build an army and conquer. Good players build culture and win their enemies over through attrition. Evil games last on the order of an hour or so. Good games last several hours. Three, four, five, even six hours at a clip to finish a single campaign level. And after all that work going through each and every level playing the game as a good god you get to the very end. And what do they tell you to do?
Your good adviser comes up to you and says something like: "Oh wow, this enemy looks tough! Forget the virtuous path you've been on. Build an army and destroy those jerks!!"
No sir. That is unacceptable. They lock you out of being able to play the game the way you'd been playing it up to that point. You are forced to play the game using the tactics of the side you willingly chose to forgo. That's garbage. That is **** game design and just plain insulting to anyone that put the time in to get to that point of what is not that great a game.
And that's the rub, isn't it? It's so hard to get to the end of a Molyneux game because they all become so tedious. Even the good ones like Dungeon Keeper and Populous and to a lesser extent Fable. But to then take away the style of play that helped to see you through to the end? No thanks. That's over the line and demonstrates an obscene lack of understanding about the product he's making. You can't do a bait and switch with the gameplay at the end of a game.
Do not trust Peter Molyneux. Do not buy his games. Do not listen to him. He is the worst kind of game developer.

Evil Genius was nice and all but it lacked the tight focus of DK.

I won't say it's a bad game because it isn't. But Evil Genius is definitely better and more engaging. It's like what Banjo-Kazooie is to Mario 64, a similar but much more refined game.

Maybe I shouldn't buy Fable then?

Fable is fine. Annoying at some parts but fine. Especially for ten bucks or less.

Fable is fun, do it.

I confess I almost got caught up in his hype when he announced Godus. It's a shame that 17,184 aren't as smart as Pat.

I am proud to say I saw right through his Godus crap! :)
Getting Fable for a mere $7 sometime next week.

I didn't even know it was a thing...

Get Dungeon Keeper instead.

Might as well play them both.
Do Dungeon Keeper first since it'll get you into the right mindset. Then do Evil Genius because it starts to do some more advanced stuff if you can make it through to the second island.
-
it starts to do some more advanced stuff if you can make it through to the second island.
That's where I stopped playing the last time. I guess it was just a bit too overwhelming to have to rebuild your entire base, since on the first item you can do it gradually as new rooms are introduced to you.
I should try again one of these days, it's a fun game.
-
No way man that's where the game becomes brilliant.
It says "hey you now know enough to know you can do it better without us, so here's a new, bigger island with no restrictions. Take what you learned and see if you can't do it better. Good luck cause it gets harder now, hope you think up a good strategy."
-
My strategy is hope like hell Rambo doesn't show up very often :S
-
Seriously. He'll jack your base up.
And I gotta agree with erops. The second island is the best because it gives you an opportunity to fix all the stuff you messed up the first time around. Plus it's way bigger.
-
So I still haven't bought any of these games, however I was just at a local thrift shop and saw a copy of The Movies for $2.
I tried to resist, I really did.

Aw man... of all the games you went with, you got The Movies? :-X
Have fun?
No, I mean I just happened to find it for pretty cheap. I'm still maybe gonna get Dungeon Keeper and for sure get Fable.
(and yes, Evil Genius at some point)
-
Well, I won't spoil the fun. You deserve to experience The Movies yourself.
-
I think that is what I paid for 'The Movies' as well. Ah, the memory of it, it almost tugged at a feeling while I played it.

Just built a semi-new rig (new case & graphics, extra hard drive, old everything else) and had to re-install OS. So the first games I put on were:
Zork I, II, and III
Minecraft

So that's what I'm playing.

You playing Banjo to 100%?
Because you should. Because it's my favorite game. Do it for me.

I wasn't planning on it, but...what the hell. I'll tell you when I finish.

Don't worry it's not that difficult to do.
But it's so much fun! :D

I'm trying to play everything but am suffering from chronic pennilessness. Thank you Pat I saw that you gifted Frozen Synapse to me!
(Banjo is also my favorite game.)
For now I have settled with Caves of Qud, one of my favorite roguelikes.

Ah! I'm glad you got it. Sent it a while ago when I saw it on your list and then realized "Wait... he's the guy that went away!"
Anyway I really haven't played it either, so if it had multiplayer (I do not remember) we should play!

Isn't it strange when you start playing games just for the sake of playing them. Because you "have to" for one reason or another. I had never experienced that before.
I've been playing Star Ruler. That is a pretty nice game. I will play Skyrim and Deus Ex: HR once I am able to use my new video card and they will look pretty instead of lame.

Mainly been playing Skyrim. It is better then Oblivion. It is not as good as Morrowind.

I've been playing a lot of Magicraft [a private Feed the Beast (Minecraft Mod) modpack] on Marc Watson's (from Mojang) server.

Also, Borderlands 2.
-
I didn't know you guys were still playing Borderlands 2!
Also I can never get into Minecraft mods. The game doesn't really need them. I've been putting the server back up lately, though nobody knows. :P
I'm watching your video right now. Looks like a neat server. The only thing I'm gonna ask before I beg for an invite to it is whether or not I can play creative mode. ;D
-
Yeah, unfortunately no. Sadly, creative servers are hard to do because of griefing.
As for Borderlands, yep! We just finished the latest DLC (really awesome). If you can somehow get a hold of a season pass, it's definitely worth it!
-
Darn, that sucks.
I'll get the season pass one of these days.
-
Feels good to finally beat the entire Borderlands 2 game with DLC. Now for a second play through. :D

Started playing Saints Row The Third, I think I am too busy laughing to realize it is probably a mediocre game.
-Lego

Pretty much sums it up perfectly.
-
If you're having fun, it can't really be that bad of a game, can it?
-
If you're having fun, it can't really be that bad of a game, can it?
Of course it can. You can still call Saints Row bad because of horrible mission structure, the illusion of choice, a samey world that feels very sparse at times, a nonsensical plot, underdeveloped characters, cheap game mechanics, unexplained game mechanics, overly oppressive game mechanics... I can keep going.
Saints Row is that kind of series. It's entirely mediocre from a gameplay perspective but they hit the right marks when it comes to writing and pacing. They understand (unlike... say, Rockstar or Bethesda) that a mission based game should keep throwing wild and wacky missions at you and not asking you to walk across the entire world to get to them.
-
I vaguely recall a quote from someone about this kind of situation, but I can't find it...
-
If you're having fun, it can't really be that bad of a game, can it?
It's obviously not completely terrible in every way, but it's possible to enjoy something that isn't good. Like a with a Plan9 type film.

Playing gta4 because 5 is out soon so replaying 4. Plus I lost all my achievements in that game years ago when I got my Xbox online.

Currently playing the demo for Homeworld (There's a remake coming soon!)

Me and my buddy dug up Excite Truck from my collection about two weeks ago. It was always a fun game but I never played it seriously, and we needed something different. As it turns out, Excite Truck is off the rails fun! It's so freaking good. We demolished it.
So then I remember that Excitebots came out a few years back and I did some research and found a copy. This game... oh man... as good as Excite Truck is, Bots is better in every way. Level design is great, the races are fun and frantic, there are lots of crazy and wild stunts to do, and the soundtrack is reckless as ****.
Get these games, guys. Seriously. They are FUN!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jls2NE5kBjI

YES! Excitebots is a wonderful game and I agree wholeheartedly. Aren't the sports minigames particularly fun?
-
BOWLING

That is the best sport in the world.
I haven't been playing many videogames lately due to schoolwork, so I can't even remember the last game I played. I guess it would be Blockford Adventure because I periodically actually play my own games.

No, that's a Let's Player server I was invited to play on.

Septerra Core came out on Steam today. It's made by the same folks that made No One Lives Forever.
I have only played it a few times at a friend's house when I was younger but really enjoyed what I saw. And having just started the game again with almost no memory of what happens, I can say that this is definitely my kinda game. Check it out, guys! It's an RPG.
It's 3 bucks, guys. Seriously, get on that.
-
Y'all should check out Red Rogue. It's a fun little portable roguelike. I store it on my flashdrive for when I'm bored.
-
I am playing Read a Textbook.
It is the best game.
-
Teleglitch is neat, and I gotta say I really love the retraux look they gave it. I bought it when it was three dollars, along with the two-dollar DLC. Haven't played enough to say whether or not it's worth the current 13-dollar pricetag, but hey.
Fun stuff so far, regardless.
I've also been playing a lot of the new Terraria update with my brother after school.
-
Pokemon
-
Any good?
-
Yeah, how is that? I think I've heard of it...
-
Any good?
Well. It all depends on what you like out of a pokemon game.
They seriously reduced the grind, which I love. Exp Share is now bascially a toggle option (that is introduced really, really early thankfully) that ensures all your pokemon basically level at the same rate. I think it's the best thing ever since it doesn't require a held item slot, effects all pokemon equally, and makes training a breeze.
The drawback of course is that for a majority of the game you don't ever need to switch pokemon since XP is shared. This can lead to you basically rotating starters just to see what different pokemon can do rather than for necessity/training. However, that's not to say you wont need to switch ever, I have a full party of 6 and have come close to 'losing' a few times.
I did actually lose to this guy in a house who reverses all the typing rules but that was more of a user problem rather than the fight being hard.
Lets see, HMs. They exist, but only Surf is required to use (I mean I'm at the 8th gym so I can't imagine I need to use anything else from here on out, maybe in victory road?). I like this, and it follows Black and White where HMs are mainly optional in order to unlock items/short cuts.
EV training. Holy **** it's like Nintendo finally realized people hated fighting 255 of a single pokemon or obtaining specific items to increase X stat increases per fight. Instead it is now a mini game of varying difficulty (between mind-numbingly easy to mildly easy) that upon completion rewards stat points. 18 mini games, 3 per stat, 1/4/12 increases(ie, level 1 Speed grants 1 speed, level 3 speed grants 12 speed). Better yet, when you beat a game you also get a punching bag related to the stat you just increased. Using this punching bag will increase the corresponding stat accordingly (3 sizes, S/M/L 1/4/12). I fully trained my starter and charizard in like 45 minutes.
So for actual competitive play I can see a use for it, and I'm very glad it's around. Not really needed for the base game though since just killing pokemon will fill out your stats to be good enough to beat the E4 (like every other game).
Difficulty varies. Game is pokemon so it's never been hard to beat the AI. I'd say turn it to 'Set' (ie, can't switch pokemon for free after a kill) and you should have a challenging enough time you won't get bored.
The story is weak sauce.
The new pokemon are cool I guess, but there aren't a bunch. They sprinkle in every generation of pokemon in the region though so it's neat to catch a Weedle along side my Scatterbug.
Mega-evolutions are just a super power pokemon. Haven't noticed a huge game play swing when I use them and honestly to me it's a forgettable feature unless I'm in a competitive Human v Human match.
New moves and the new type keep things interesting, horde battles are rare (but I almost lost to 5 level 11 mr. mime jrs since they used copycat hahaha) and go exactly like you'd expect.
I think it's good. It's streamlined in all the right ways while still a deep RPG. A complaint I heard was 'kid-friendly'; I beg to differ I think it's just less tedious.
-
While I agree for the most part, I might add that non-surf HMs kind of are necessary unless you're just breezing straight through the game. Stop and smell the roses, maybe. :P
In addition - the Torchic you get via mystery gift (remember to get it, by the way!) levels up so fast. With exp share on, I basically never get to use it, because I want to keep my whole party at roughly the same level, and it always seems to be like five levels too high.
Pokemon-amie is a deceptively good feature. You spend some time petting your pokemon, playing games with it, feeding it cakes, making faces using the 3DS camera... It's dumb but it results in real in-game benefits. The dialog for that pokemon changes, (when you feed it a potion, for example, it changes to "X is thrilled to bits!" Pretty funny) it nods when you give it commands, and most importantly, it gains more exp, can shake off status effects, gets more crits, etc. I found myself liking my party pokemon a lot more after having spent 20 minutes petting them, too. It seems like Game Freak has actually found a way to manifest all that bull**** about "trusting in your pokemon" and stuff.
Honestly, it's a huge improvement over black and white, which were ultimately pretty forgettable.
-
Oh wat that's the poke anime thing? **** man I haven't even opened it.
Do the effects carry into person v person?
-
It's pokemon-amie. (French pun.)
When you play against another person you're given various options on the rules of the game, and I believe that's one of them.
-
Thanks for all the info guys! I appreciate it.
Pokemon has always been a strange one for me. I love level grinding generally, but in Pokemon I find it very annoying and don't like it. So hearing that they made it less grindy is exciting! As far as EV and all that stuff... never understood it and it seemed to involve grinding in a game where I hate the grinding. So cool!
-
Wait, they changed the grinding? Where? In which one?
I stopped playing the series when I realized it was all the same thing over and over...
I don't even know what the latest game is called.
-

EV training exists because in Person Vs Person battles, all Pokemon are put on the same level. EVs and IVs allow people to get the upper hand despite the handicap.
-
Though it was originally just intended to be a hidden mechanic that gave pokemon a random-seeming stat progression to differentiate them. Obviously if it were actually random then most pokes would end up being roughly the same.
-
It's actually much faster to EV train by fighing horde battles than using the minigame. Protip.
But more seriously why would you even use the event Torchic? You can't even nickname it.
-
It is? Where do you find consistent horde battles
-
Use Sweet Scent, then surf the horde that shows up. With the Exp Share, all your pokemon get EVs, so if you use a Power item and have pokerus, that's like 50 EV's per horde. You can get a stat fully trained in two minutes.
-
:O
Wat thas amazing
-
I'm playing me some X2: The Threat. An interesting space sim...
-
Oh my goodness osu is so much fun.

That's the kind of trick that makes me buy a game.

I've never played Dwarf Fortress so I decided to give it a try. I managed to every single dwarf via drowning within the first five minutes.

I accidentally all the dwarves.

-
Got gifted Crusader Kings 2 by my brother,so I'm playing that.
-
Haven't started them yet but I finally tracked down a copy of Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, as well as Ghost Trick and Radiant Historia.
Anyone played them? How were they?
-
OH MY GOD YOU WILL LOVE GHOST TRICK
IT IS AMAZING
-
I'm really excited to try it. Celdur says really good things about it too and you two play pretty good games most of the time.
-
It's sort of similar to Phoenix Wright...ish.
If you haven't played Phoenix Wright, then of course you should.
As for Radiant Historia, I've never played it, but it sounds *really cool* what with all the alternate timelines and stuff. I would play these games but my DS broke a few years ago and I've been using any money I stumble across to buy somewhat important useful things, so I can't really buy a new one.
I only know that Ghost Trick and Phoenix Wright are good 'cause they were ported to iOS, but I assume they're the same for whatever you're playing on.
Guy I know named Dustin tells me that Kingdom Hearts Recoded is pretty good, if you've never played that.
-
There are DS emulators for the PC if you really want to play those games.
Also, how broken? Fixable broken, or in-a-couple-of-pieces broken?
-
I know that there are emulators, and I've used them, but I just don't like
the "feel" of them.
My DS is fixable but the screen is all scratched up anyway and it's a chunky, so I think I'll just buy a lite or a 3DS if I ever get the money.
-
A Lite especially shouldn't be too expensive second-hand.
That is, if you've got any money. I've been thinking about getting a Gamecube controller, and they're pretty cheap too but still a bit too expensive for me, especially since I don't really need one anyway.
-
I was a huge fan of the Phoenix Wright games so that bodes well.
And yeah, Radiant Histories does look really good. I'm hoping it plays as good as it looked.
Additionally, and if you feel capable, the original DS model is very easy to fix if you wanted to try it out. Screens are also readily available.

Dude, there's still people playing Pokemon Blue.
-
Well, yeah, I know, I'm one of them.
I just mean that there's still a lot of online stuff with Pokemon B&W, which I wasn't expecting. I sort of thought the service would be shut down, like the original xbox live, but now I know that it's compatible with B&W 2 and the service is still up.
So that's what I meant.
Anyway, it's a bit of a shock for me because the only Pokemon game I've ever played or even seen being played was Red. The familiar-but-different feel is very cool.
-
Oh right, I forgot, I thought White was the newest one, I forgot about White 2.
Sorry for being a bit snarky.
-
It's cool. But White 2 isn't even the newest. Pokemon X and Y are. So I think that makes White 3 generations old.

Man, I've just been piling derp upon derp, haven't I?
I'll just shut up about stuff I don't know much about :P

in the last year:
i've been playing planetside 2 for a year now, being a longtime planetside 1 player it made me disappointed that so much content was removed in favor of a generic mmofps, i haven't found anything comparable so i continue playing
i played firefall intermittently for some months but it doesn't have enough action or gameplay, i really can't tell what kind of genre the game even is, firefall is trying to be something new. looking back firefall has improved and gets great updates though, i'm just sort of following it for now
starforge. basically minecraft + halo, i haven't checked on it for 6 months, it probably has a lot of cool stuff. the only thing that confuses me is how this game will be on individual servers, i don't think it will work
contagion, a zombie hl2 mod with great gameplay. i play it with my brother via skype and it is pretty fun to work together and escape. not much content but i hope it will improve
guncraft. i don't care for this game at all, i got it free so no problem. some years ago there was an (indie?) game called ace of spades, it had such novel and fun gameplay, many imageboards hosted servers and basically publicized the game. ace of spades game eventually became a ****ty generic shooter when it was acquired by JAGEX (how random is that?), guncraft is one and the same except it was never good
FTL! this game was awesome! i got it for $0.50 via humble bundle, i would love to see a similar game for android/phones!
Defiance.. i played this game for a couple of days before stopping. there wasn't enough content. the game was fun though, comparable to borderlands+firefall in terms of gameplay. i might update and see what updates have been released soon.
Chivalry! a first person medieval hack-slash game on steam, reminds me of team fortress 2 and a game called "Knights vs Pirates vs Vikings"
-
FTL! this game was awesome! i got it for $0.50 via humble bundle, i would love to see a similar game for android/phones!
I hope you read that they're working on an update and iDevice version (http://www.ftlgame.com/?p=598), with an Android version coming later.
And I've been playing some PlanetSide 2 too. I still can't really decide if I like the game or not. Starting to lean to 'not' though, since capping bases is, after the initial fight, just waiting for a counter to reach zero. Plus, even when joining an organized platoon (from RockPaperShotgun), I still miss most of the action.

I warn you ... this game is not fun! It's CHALLENGING, but "fun" it is not! :D
I do like games which are completely outside the norm and provide unique gameplay methods that I haven't seen before. And for Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland ... it is completely unique. Lots and lots of strange stuff going on ... very interesting.
But using your coins as your health AND your currency ... it will drive you insane in ways you can't imagine!
And Rocket Slime is fantastic. One of my favorite games of all time.
-
Yeah i really liked rosy rupeeland too, but I could never get through it.
It gets really damn grindy after a while and I just wasn't invested anymore(heh, invested).
I do agree it has some great unique gameplay mechanics that I'd love to see more of somewhere else maybe.
And skeleton pirates, can't ever have enough of those.
I will say though, its probably the gayest game I have ever played. And i don't mean that as an insult or anything, it just has the most flamboyant **** all over the damn place.
And i really wonder how they put all of that stuff in there. Or why for that matter, is it just for laughs?
I guess it doesn't really matter, and I found it funny so whatever, it just seems really weird in a Nintendo game.

This is why I never understand people bashing Nintendo for rehashing things. It seems more like these people just aren't trying to find different games and only play what is handed to them. Case in point, Kirby Mass Attack. Has anyone played this? It's freaking amazing!

For the half-an-hour of free time I have per day I play Audiosurf.

Finally got around to playing VVVVVV and Spelunky, which I somehow hadn't played till now. Good games for sure, tho.

Got into Planetside 2 lately. It has that same sort of large scale teamwork satisfaction that I get from good TF2 servers.

Did they add like, a point to holding objectives yet or is it still one big circular capture and move on cycle?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I know that having majority control of a planet when an alert ends gives you a bonus until the planet is disputed again in alert.
I don't remember what the bonuses are, but I believe every player in the faction gets them.

Yaaaay me too! Once I'm done studying for the MCAT I'll join you to fight the unenlightened masses.

I agree with the above statement.

lately i've been playing natural selection 2 on steam, awesome and unique game, got it for 1 cent via humble bundle!
it is an aliens-vs-human FPS with 1 player for each team acting as a commander, the commander plays the game as if its an RTS, they can exit the command center and play in first-person as well if they want (in this way the commander is a volunteer job for the team)
basically you secure various areas of the map and develop resource nodes to acquire more resources, you spend them on equipment or loadouts, commanders spend the resources on upgrading their teams weapons/armor or researching improvements or setting build requests for things that ping aliens, sentry guns, armories...
very interesting, kind of a mix of starcraft with halo perhaps? if i had to describe it
there is a mod i've been playing which ousts the commander role and leaves all personal upgrading/researching to the individual, you also don't worry about resource nodes, you gain exp/promotions which rewards resource points instead. i would love to see more round-based games utilising this type of progression, it is very similar of warcraft 3 custom games
i've also been loyally serving the new conglomeracy in planetside 2, i changed the name of my outfit/clan to the grossest 3 words i could find, courtesy of some googling: Moist Festering Smegma - that is what other players are forced to read when i kill them, fabulous right??
-
Natural Selection sounds very similar to Nuclear Dawn from the way you're describing it.
Personally I've been playing some more EU4, though my interest has waned a bit from the initial excitement.
Just more or less wrapped up a Brandenburg -> Prussia -> Holy Roman Empire campaign, which was pretty fun. Prussia is the best at fighting.
I've also been playing some Planetside 2, though I'm pretty rubbish at it. Vanu Sovereignty for life.
Also recently got Borderlands 2, and played that a bit with my brother and a smidge with Pat.
Fun stuff.
-
Natural Selection is a masterpiece of a game.
I've only played the second one for a few hours but my friends and I played the first for years. So much fun to be had and absolutely unique gameplay and style.

There is no play. Only work.
Also, Smite and Hearthstone.

I hope you don't think that TESO is going to be anything besides an abortion.

Hawken is good, and OpenTTD is a fun game to play if you can talk to friends who are playing it with you.

Hearthstone
Beat Southpark, but it if you like the show, $60 is a lot though so if you've waited this long sale for sure
-
Heard I was supposed to buy it if I liked the show, or if I liked Paper Mario.
I like both, so this should be gotyay, right?

Pokemon leaf green again

Good man.

It could be. It doesn't do enough new to be game of the year but it is a solid game with solid mechanics. Fun, funny, and worth the time. If its menu system had some hotkeys or better ui management I'd have no real issue with it.
Shorter side of RPGs though, hence why I think if you've waited this long might as well wait till it's on sale.

Hearthstone
I've been playing this as well. Not too bad for a free game.

I always wanted to play that, the game didn't get a proper release in Australia. I think there was some re-release either way I missed it still like to give it ago.

TESO for like a month or so, have some random thoughts...
expensive
like $60 for just the game, which i already had downloaded from the beta, i just had to pay for the right to play the game... totally legit
and then $15 a month
damn! can you make this game any more affordable, i can't resist the urge to buy 5 more copies at this great pricing!
oh, yes, the expected bugs complimentary of any newly launched mmo...
i enjoy the dungeons and gameplay... it is first person/third person views, you interact with environment in a similar fashion to other TES. similar games would probably be dragon's nest, vindictus, tera... in terms of gameplay, but they are all free to play.
interesting crafting system but horrible commerce/trade/guild implementations, many items are being farmed by repeated relogging (it resets the random contents of crates, barrels, etc)
the ingame taxes are damn high. to C.O.D. (mail an item with a price attached, they receive item after they pay, you get sent back the gold) requires paying enormous fees. there are no public auction houses, you are required to join a guild with 50+ members with the auction house setup... then wade through an endless sea of overpriced crappy junk to find out nothing is in your level range/build type. oh, i'll sell some of my crap, wait *25% upfront listing fees on the price you list your item* come on, seriously? it isn't like those gold coins are going to some fictional government or something, what the hell is the point of that?
there is no ingame time, even addons cannot provide this, the weather system is bugged and together this makes the special quests of becoming afflicted with vampirism/lycanthropy super-duper hard
the classes are nothing special
mage
warrior
thief
paladin
you can play whatever playstyle you want though, any armor/weapon for any class, you can only use 5 abilities in your bar, and 1 ultimate ability off to the side, it makes it challenging and i think many games will adopt this.
quests are pretty redundant, but not 'kill 10 goblins' ... it is more like 'press E to use stone' after 'kill 10 goblins' pretty revolutionary stuff. i am not a TES lore buff so i can't comment on whether or not anything is accurate but it seems pretty sweet, wood elves are still badass flesheaters.
hmmm graphics and sound provide plenty of options, there is even an addon providing support for nvidias eyefinity (super widescreen graphics) there are a decent amount of addons now which remedy most problems.. like more emotes, auto-repairing your gear from NPCs, autoloot, minimap, experience bar numbers/percentage, group vital stats, better ui.. only more will be developed as well? seems nice to continue the TES moddability (but i never used any in the past, i just know they were a thing)
gold spamming is pretty bad, you can expect to ignore 30 people on /zone chat, receive 2 mail messages from gold websites, and get an invitation from gold website in-game guilds every day
zone chat in general is terrible and unhelpful, constantly filled with everquest/ultima circlejerks, WoW-zers, trolls, guild spam, and just random real-life discussions by a select few

That's what you get, for playing a game which never should have been made in the first place. You paid money for a game which will probably go F2P within a few months. You could have prevented this. >:(

to be honest i enjoyed the beta but never planned on paying once it was released. my brother made it seem like he would be playing it often so i decided to join in, we don't live together anymore so we try to play the same multiplayer games
small price to pay when compared to a plane ticket i suppose
So do you like it or not?
it is alright, i do have fun playing it, they give you a lot of flexibility with your playstyle, i enjoy coming up with unusual combinations
the only real negatives i can think of would be the high price to play, the gold industry (yeah yeah, this affects all games, but eso is really infested atm), and phasing
phasing is like... a game mechanic which places you in instances all over the map, in certain areas/towns/etc based on quest progression and other things like population, if you are with a friend you will find yourselves 'phasing' or disappearing from each other a lot. i don't RP so much but i imagine those guys are raging when their buddies disappear, totally ruins the immersion. you can work around it by fast-traveling to each other and forcing the same instance but for quests it will not work, i'm not sure it can be improved and i hope future games stay clear of this system
-
Phasing was the best thing in WoW cataclysm imo, bummer Zenimax botched the application of it
Phasing was desperately needed in SWtOR

So I dug out our Gamecube and started playing Crystal Chronicles again.

Seems I'm now addicted to another dumb browser game:
http://www.captainforever.com/captainforever.php
Obsessively trying to keep my ship balanced and symmetrical keeps getting me killed.
-
Bumping this because I've been playing Age of wonders 3 like crazy.
It's taken me awhile to get into the game (their tutorial,while helpful left me fumbling over a lot of things) what I like about it so far is the tech tree,which alongside the upgrades for the class you pick,is entirely decided by the game itself,so it loses the predictability that comes with having an established tech tree
The focus on combat is one it's major strengths and city sieges are actually fun,something that Civilization games should take notes on.
Also,Mammoth mounts are awesome.
-
something that Civilization games should take notes on.
They won't. :(
-
they might though,there's always the small hope that by civ 6 all the combat has been completely overhauled
-
Maybe they'll go to some kind of... I dunno... like, a stack-based system?
Whatever you want to call it. Maybe they can let us have more than one unit per tile. It'd definitely change the way the game is played.
-
I never liked the stacks and honestly thought Civ V's last problem was the combat. It's total lack of depth (vanilla) was glaring not the mediocre combat (Japan FTW tho).
If Civ could do something like total war or AoW that'd be such a change of script that I doubt it'd ever happen.
-
My facetiousness aside, I like the idea of timing games for combat.
Probably wouldn't work in Civ. But it'd work in Elder Scrolls. Maybe if I hit A right when my strike lands, I get a second strike. You know, Paper Mario style. And you can chain and build your combos that way. Anything... anything is better than what we have now. That pale elf took a greatsword through the face and is still coming at me. WUT?
-
I recently did something extremely foreign in that I started playing Skyrim permanently in 3rd person cam using a controller. It's a different experience, but surprisingly, not in a bad way. The OTS cam provides a more cinematic feel to melee attacks, executions feel more fluid and less jarring, and the added vibrations from the controller support provide some of the desperately lacking feedback. I recommend giving it a go.

Back to playing Sim Golf here and there.
Anyone ever play this game? It's fantastic! Really great golf course design game and you can even build your own golfer and play the course to win prizes in tournaments (if your course is good enough to host one). Not sure if many people bought this when it was originally out. But it's very fun and has a lot of depth.

Outside of that I haven't been getting into games for most of this year, oddly enough. Been too busy and otherwise tied up in other stuff.

Started playing around with Endless Legend tonight. I was super disappointed when I first bought it because in the past I was never too interested in military victory 4x games, and EL might have other routes but is very blatantly focused on military and aggressive expansion, to the point that there's an in-game resource which you have to spend to even offer any sort of diplomatic action, whether or not the other person accepts. War is cheaper than peace. I also am still not a fan of the ascetic of we-can't-decide-if-we're-fantasy-or-science-or-magic-science-or-whatever.
All that being said, once you go into it well aware you're playing a military strategy game, it's not so bad. There are imho some problems with how technologies are ordered to each age, but I like the simplified Civ city management where you assign people to work resources rather than tiles or buildings. They put the formula for each resource's production right in front of you and make it really easy for you to see how your changes affect progress.
-
Started playing destiny again, it's about as bad as I remember, but hey they hand out gear a lot easier than before!

I've been playing No More Room in Hell Dodgeball, oddly enough. I kind of wish it was its own game with its own set of maps and bigger selection of mechanics.
Also I've been getting into CSGO the past few months. I'm MG2 with 86 wins. It's fun.

Sorry to keep pushing the XCom train. But that's a big ****ing Mechtoid. :|
-
I really loved Enemy Unknown. Was hyped for the longest time to play Enemy Within. Played it one night, for a couple hours, and still haven't gone back. I was super underwhelmed with mech durability (and mechs in general), nanomachines feel like they should have granted more unique benefits then the ones I had played long enough to unlock and while interesting, I can't help but feel like the clacking aliens don't add a whole lot more to overall strategy, though I'll admit it does force me to change sniper positioning more often.
Honestly, the single biggest impact change for me is the augment which randomizes the options available at each rank up, so that characters have unique skill trees and thus certain characters become more or less valuable as a direct result. I'll be far more protective of a sniper that got squadsight early than one who didn't. It forces me to actually make these decisions again, instead of going down the clearly optimal choices for each class with every single recruit. And the ones with a bad seed get to be mechs, so they get replaced anyways.
I'll go back some day. Just, not today.

Went back to Akiba's Trip recently. subsequent playthroughs go by much faster. First run doing all the sidequests and such took me around 20 hours. Now, on higher difficulty, the main game for each ending is taking me 3-4. I did two full runs in a single sitting and am about to go back and wrap up the final ending, which will also max out my equipment for a 100% Otaku mode run. I'm not normally someone who plays the same game over and over again but Akiba has just the right mix of gameplay variance and mindlessness I need.
-
I feel lame but
I've been playing a bunch of really weak crap on kongregate lately. God DAMN flash games are all awful. It's like every one of them is a demo for something that could be vastly more interesting but never ever will be.
Tried a couple of their "MMO" games too. Some of the most boring freemium crap made by man. For instance I tried Swords and Potions 2. I was like "oh neat a game where you run a shop".
But in reality "oh neat a game where you click and wait so you can click on more things and wait even longer great".
I dunno, man.
And even the simpler things like launch games are boring now. I used to love those.
I guess I just really want MGSV or something.

I have returned to XCom, but I don't plan on modding it at least until I actually finish the expanded content. Playing with random starting stats, level progression and skill trees, but no other second waves. Played for a couple hours this morning and progressed somewhere into the fourth month, so I've saved Zhang, blew up a zombie boat, and played secret agent man with a laser pistol. I'm at the point now where I have the key, but haven't used it yet as I just finished muton armor research and would like to outfit the team beforehand.
I'm still of the opinion MEC troopers are garbage, unless they get something really special in their normal level progression. Tactically they're just big dumb damage sponges that can't take cover, like Heavies but even worse.
My frontline at the moment is a pair of nanomachine'd assaults that managed to both get Bullet Swarm alongside Rapid Fire, enabling me to pop off a trio of shotgun blasts in quick succession from each of them. There are a lot of nasty interactions, especially among the overwatch skills, you can get when skill trees are random. It makes units unique as well, which makes you care more about keeping them alive.
-
MECs are my bread and butter in Long War, but that version is pretty different. They are kinda **** in vanilla.
Been playing GTA San Andreas again, but am fighting with Rockstar's dumb updates. I played this game a lot when it came out and am a huge fan of GTA. It was one of our favorites back when we were younger. Superbikes all day!!
But anyway, the game looked worse than it did when I originally played it and was much buggier. And this is supposed to be the newest version. Of course, it also has music patched out of it as well because Rockstar are morons. So I had to downgrade the game, install a separate user patch, convert my save files, and now the game looks significantly better, runs significantly better, and is actually complete.
Jesus.

Oh and the reason why I play ARK is that in core is a pretty good survival game that hit on many key features that I want in a survival game. You have the straight up surival aspect which I like. Having to gather food, water and so on. But there tons of game that does this part fairly well. But the game also have a nice way to progress. Learning new crafting recipes as you level up, but more importantly. Letting you find more. Pushing you to explore more. Your also in the hunt for dinos and other animals. Giving even more of a collector feel to it. And I like that. And of course you can build building. Also it updates all the freaking time.
The short answer is that there many small thing that makes me like the game.

I did play a Nubian king once in Crusader Kings 2 and did just that. And beyond. My empire reach up in to Germany (Which I had inherited though some complicated scheming) and I was actually conquering territory in Russia. It was pretty insane.
Btw when you say Merchant Prince do you mean you where a Merchant Republic? Did they add the functionality to create you own republics in the game?
-
Yeah, since the Old Gods expansion there has been the Tribal government type, which can upgrade to a feudal kingdom or a merchant republic through a special decision.
Tribal governments are pretty interesting. They don't get any levies, even from vassals and have to call their vassals into wars as allies. The only holding type they can build is a temple or a special "tribal" holding representing tribal lands. The tribal holding produces more troops and gold the more empty holding slots there are in the province, and when the government upgrades the tribal holding turns into either a castle or a city.

Been playing Sid Meier's Pirates like crazy this week. It's still fun.

What nation? Ship?
I tended for the small ship so I could have a perma crew, just board enemy ships asap to compensate the artillery difference.
-
Top tier game.
-
I usually go Dutch, since they have the smallest presence. 95% of everything can be raided and they love you for it.
I also tend to go with bigger ships because I focus a lot on capturing cities and like to have numerical crew superiority vs top ten pirates.
-
I also go for the big ships. Usually cut a path straight for SotL and try to stack up as many perks as I can. Then the destruction begins.
-
I've been stuck with a War Galleon for like 6 years because, every time I try to take on one of the better ships, they beeline for me and wipe the floor with me in swordplay.
(as far as I know, nobody but top ten pirates have anything better than a war galleon in combat terms)

I started playing games on a PSP emulator and it autobinds a turbo button to right trigger on my controller.

So hype. Saving saving saving!!

Hearthstone, MGS1, Way of the samurai 4
Been considering getting Undertale but I worry for my backlog.
-
I'm so backlogged on games I'm good until 2030. However, current main games are:
World of Warships, World of Tanks (sort of, i'm not clear on the tech tree), Minecraft (ModSauce2), and KSP.
-Lego
-
Any of you play From the Depths?
Celdur recommended it to me but second opinions are always nice.
-
MGS1
I'm playing this too.
ONLY A FOOL TRUSTS HIS LIFE TO A WEAPON!
-
I love reloading during a battle. There's nothing like slamming a long silver bullet into a well greased chamber!
-
This is just like one of my Japanese Animes!

Hypetime! VKB has announced their new line of sticks.

Arc System Works has performed a hostile takeover of my free time.
-
Oh hey,so I have started playing Jade empire as it was free on Origin
-
Nice, what karate style you using
-
I was also playing JE, though it took a lot of shenanigans to get running properly. I liked some of the ideas in it, but really don't like the lack of naturally regenerating meters, even outside of combat. If you want every individual fight to be a challenge, then don't force players to run with tail between legs for ten minutes back to an arbitrarily placed shrine somewhere three dozen instances away just to recover after each one. A simple rest button would've made the experience so much better.
-
Nice, what karate style you using
White demon for now
I would agree that the combat difficulty is fiddly,however,the game was the result of a console port so the clucky combat is to be expected
-
I'm fine with how the combat itself is. It can be janky, sure, but a game is more fun when every encounter is a challenge than if there's no challenge at all.
I'm reminded of one of the Penny Arcade Rainslick episodes, can't remember which. It has a jrpg style, except items are x number of uses per battle instead of use once only and hp/mp/whatever automatically recovers after each fight, which in turn allows the game to throw everything it can at you each battle, and force you to work for each one and use everything you have access to rather than the typical grind. It's a great design, but that level of challenge without a convenient way of refilling lost resources means a huge amount of downtime inbetween challenges, which in turn makes it feel a lot more boring than it should be. Jade Empire has almost a great system, but falls short in one key area imho.
-
I liked it, the combo type stuff was neat.
Bang them both.
-
Picked up Personal Trainer: Cooking on the cheap at the store.
It's a really great digital cookbook on the DS. If you like goofy things like this and want to learn some neat recipes, give it a try! Fun time. :D
-
Rocket League! Also Project X Zone on my 3DS, though I have no idea who half the roster is.
-
In my continuing quest to find and master every 'turn your own music into levels' game out there, I've picked up Drive Any Track and Polynomial. I have yet to actually play either, but I will soon.
-
Polynomial is weird.
-
Yeah. It turns out it's really just a playable visualizer with a kind of boring shooter game tacked on. Worth a few bucks if you really like music visualizers, but not for me. Drive Any Track is fun, if unfinished.
-
Drive Any Track looks really neat! Thanks!
-
Card Hunter is neat
-
It has some cool mechanics but eventually hits a fairly hefty paywall if I remember right. Also kind of forces you into a separate grind for pvp, nothing you have in pve carries over, which is no fun.
-
Oh what?
Man that's a bummer to hear about the pvp
-
I just finally picked up Xrd Sign on Steam. Thirteen hours later, I can no longer feel my thumbs.

Taking a break from World of Tanks
Playing Command Air and Sea (not recommended unless you are REALLY in to tech knowledge and modern warfare). Was on sale for $45, normally $90.
Still playing modded KSP
Construction Simulator 2015 - better known as the digital crane game
Drive Any Track - when too drunk to fish
Cook, Serve, Delicious

So I've been playing Final fantasy IX since its on steam now
Overall it's really decent port with a few issues that are largely the result of porting a 16 year old PlayStation title.I recall some people saying that it was too easy compared to the previous two,which I agree with,that and the scripted battles where you lose anyway are a pain
-
More Caves of Qud. Some Overwatch which my neighbor convinced me to buy.
Anything to take my mind off the delay of No Man's Sky.
-
STAR CITIZEN
-
After a conversation with a friend I went and dug this up from like 2004. So satisfying.

Fallout 4, 52 level or something, finished main quest line. Just walking around now killing stuff. Meh.
-Lego
-
3DS version of Tales of the Abyss
-
Just got Blood and Wine set up for Witcher 3. The UI overhaul (second one, too) is great. They finally nailed it. Can't wait to actually get into the new quest content. The new map looks nice a big!
And I am also playing A-Train City Simulator 3D on the 3DS. Very involved transport sim that will put you through ten hours of tutorials but god damn will you know how to play and fully enjoy the game once it is over. Highly recommend this game. Get through the long tutorials, they won't rush you and you will learn. And as a reward for learning the game properly, they will give you access to the full scenario/map creator.
-
Age of Wonders III (with all expansions) is that I have been playing lately. So many good games now. Done some Overwatch a bit when I need to pause for Age of Wonders III.
-
ARK, Terra Tech, Fallout 4 second full play through, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, KSP...
I'm liking ARK, but some of the jump scare attacks get a little old.

Went back to Mario 3D World on the Wii U to finish it up.
It is still a flawed, inferior Mario game. Which is really a shame because they have a lot of great ideas and levels and seem to have had fun. But as I've already gone to in-depth several times, they flubbed the controls and the camera is strange. Got to Star World though and am working through it. Beyond the struggles with the controls, the levels are too easy and short. But I appreciate that each one is usually different, like in Galaxy. But even with Galaxy I had issues with something concerning the levels. I'm not sure what it is with the newer levels.
The actual level design is on-point, but there just seems to be no depth to the levels. All of the secrets are pretty obvious if you're familiar with how they hide things in Mario games. And none of those secrets offer anything really great outside of a convenient power-up.
Probably gonna finish the rest of the game today. I'll go back to Captain Toad next. Still have bonus levels to complete and a few challenges.
MEEEEEEEEEEOWWWWWW!
-
Rimworld, Project Zomboid and Forge of Empires. Also still my long term play by email Civ4 Caveman 2 Cosmos game. Things died in one game but have gotten really good in the other game. Just reached Bronze Working. Yay!
-
I'm smashing my head against a wall trying to get the Zunbils working in CK2. It's kind of a weird way to play the game, but hey, it's how I got the jews to work.
Considering going back to Rimworld as well. I feel like those two games provide nice foils to one another, to play back to back, for some reason.

Pokemon moon
Trying to make the perfect SOS chain machine using a Smeargle with Hold back/False swipe, Recycle, Recover and Icicle spear

Why bother with recover when you have hyper potions? You could use Trick to put a leppa berry on them when you find a shiny. Substitute is useful for avoiding stat-downs and status effects that might mess up your operation.
-
Why do I want to abuse a shiny and make it stay longer with trick? To increase the chances of more shinies spawning?
also, I don't have access to Substitute yet since I'm still mid-story. I like to mix it up by breeding and looking for rare pokes
-
I GOT A RARE POKE FOR YOU RIGHT HERE.
-

So it doesn't run out of PP and struggle to death. You're not some kind of pleb who catches things in Ultra Balls, are you?
-
So I got the free Mass effect 2 from Orgrin,but I'm starting with Mass effect 1
I remember being hyped for Mass effect when it was announced but ended up not buying it because I didn't have a machine capable of running it,which i do now.
-
You're gonna have a really fun time. Mass Effect does a great job establishing a setting and follows through with most of its goals.

Emphasis on most if the outrage on the ending is any indication.

So I built a new PC and so have been playing a lot of PC games recently, basically catching up on a decade's worth of "oh that won't run on my computer."
I've been playing:
Overwatch, which scratches that old forgotten TF2 itch. I can't see myself getting as into it as some of the level 90+ people I see, but I'll totally be coming back to this frequently in the future. Games only last like 10-15 minutes usually so it's nice if I don't have a ton of time.
Doom, which I loved. It feels fantastic, very fluid movement with lots of double jumping and airtime, which is something you wouldn't expect from the protagonists bulky space marine appearance. Wasn't nearly as difficult as I expected, managed to beat many of the bosses on the first attempt on the normal difficulty. Maybe I'll come back and play it on hard sometime.
Dishonored 2, which is taking me a while to get into, not much I can really say. I find myself getting a bit bored while playing and can't really articulate why. Like I said I'm not too far in and I remember enjoying the first one so I'll stick it through a bit more.
Dark Souls 3, I bought this together with the season pass in a deal, so now I feel like I have to play it. I know it's considered one of the best games of 2016 and games I love such as Hyper Light Drifter are often compared to it, but I don't love that I can go a whole play session and feel like I've made almost zero progress by the end. I enjoy playing but I've never been big on games that provoke the controller-smashing urge, and when you die just before you're ready to stop playing, losing thousands of souls and bringing you back to the same bonfire you were still at 2 hours ago, that doesn't feel great. :P Still, it looks amazing and I think I might learn to love it.
I felt before I built the PC that there were hundreds of games in my backlog but now those are the only ones I can think of. Oh, and the Witcher 3 which I hear is fantastic, but I want to get some of these "out of the way" first. And I'll definitely be playing Andromeda when it comes out.
Am I missing any other huge RPG/adventure/shooter PC games from the last few years? (I've played the Bethesda games/GTA).
-
Yeah, there's this game that got a ton of buzz called No Man's Sky. Haven't played it myself but the trailers promise an epic experience. You should pick it up full price, no need to wait for a sale.
-
Who are you and what have you done with Black Twitter?
-
Play through Crysis, that's a really fun game. Far Cry 3 and 4 are also worthwhile. Honestly you could probably run Star Citizen during a free-fly, so that might be something you want to check out (hit me up if you do that). There's your CryEngine fix. If space sims are something you like and you aren't into alpha testing, you can try Elite: Dangerous, but I know little about it.
If you liked DOOM, play Wolfenstein. I liked it better for a "MODERN REBOOT", but I also think DOOM has been pretty lame for a while so ignore me if you want.
Grim Dawn will run well if you like ARPGs, it's pretty good. Civ VI and XCOM2 are worth playing. New Deus Ex (didn't play), Fallout 4, did you play Cities Skylines? There's the Black Mesa mod on Steam if you want to redo Half-Life 1. Minecraft also has more options now that you have a better system; consider re-texturing old games to get new life out of them.
You ever play Alpha Protocol? Older game but I don't know if you could run it. Decent game with the best conversation mechanic I've seen in a while. Does many aspects of Mass Effect better than Mass Effect. New Battlefield? I hear it's okay. Not my thing though. Oh! Don't forget the new Hitman game, that one is supposed to be good. Just Cause 3 is stupid fun, but also very stupid. Want a challenging and rewarding multiplayer game? Pick up Natural Selection 2 on Steam. It's crazy-awesome, but hard.
You may have missed Spec Ops: The Line. Worth a playthrough at least. Very good FPS. Also The Stanley Parable has been remade and had a load of content added. There's a "new" TrackMania game if you like crazy racing games. There's a new Worms game that is good. There's this goofy shark game on Steam called Depth! (I think) that is a BLAST. I love this game.
That's all I got right now, I'm sure there are more. Did you play Starbound?
-
Do people still play Natural Selection 2? It's always interested me but I was under the impression the community was pretty dead.
-
It has always had enough people to keep several servers full and active over its life. If you want to play now, you can probably find a full server to enjoy.
But the game is very deep and challenging, so it never got much of a mass following. It's always been a bit anemic. If you wanna play, go install it today and try. It'll probably actually be dying off sooner rather than later. :(
-
Crysis, Far Cry 3 and 4
There's something about these games I was never a fan of. They feel kind of clunky to me, I guess?
Civ VI
We've played this together. :P
Fallout 4 / Cities Skylines / Black Mesa / Minecraft / The Stanley Parable
Played all four!
New Battlefield?
Huh. I had assumed this was a console exclusive. Might look into it. It's certainly a good looking game.
Spec Ops: The Line.
I've tried this, and again, there was something about the way it felt that put me off. :/
Did you play Starbound?
I've owned it since almost day one and basically never played it. I may still play it, but right now I'm mainly looking for games I wasn't able to play before. :P
New Deus Ex / Hitman
These are good suggestions and I will do these things.
You mentioned some other games which I don't know anything about / don't have much of an interest in, but I'll have a look around. Thanks for the ideas.
-
For Honor has been the main thing right now.
-
All of my friends and I think For Honor looks really good but none of us can rightfully justify getting a game that is both sixty dollars and on Uplay. Waiting for a sale.
Also my recommendations for Tesla are thusly:
Hand of Fate- Odd little roguelite/virtual board game/ARPG that is a lot of fun in my opinion. Give it a look, maybe watch a bit of a playthrough, and pick it up if it looks interesting to you.
Devil Daggers- A first-person shooter where there is one level, consisting of a single large platform, and enemies keep coming at you in the same pattern. Your goal is to survive as long as possible with your glove, which can shoot either an SMG-like stream of weird red energy shots or a shotgun-like burst of them. A little like a Hotline Miami level that goes on forever.
Killing Floor 2- It's pretty much just Killing Floor 1 but slightly better in every way. The best kind of visceral and gorish zombie-hunting action combined with an engaging, if somewhat slow, level-up system. The Michael-transactions are going to put some people off, but you can ignore Mike anyways. He doesn't provide any guns
-
Taking a look at my Steam library and my favorites from it.
Not sure how powerful your old computer was so maybe you've played some slightly older stuff but I would recommend the Tomb Raider reboot if you like adventure games, Life is Strange if you're into point and click stuff, and MGSV if you like stealth shooters. Those are my personal favorite Steam games I have currently. As for RPGs since you've already played most Bethesda games I don't really have anything to recommend - not that Bethesda games are even the best RPGs, but they tend to be the ones I sink the most time into. I can also second Alpha Protocol as being pretty cool.
As for stuff that isn't shooter/adventure/RPG:
Grow Home is also a cute little platformer but you have to be okay with intentionally janky physics so YMMV. Oh and if you want 2D stuff that your old computer probably could have done I highly recommend Lethal League if you're into fighting games and La-Mulana for 2D adventure sort of stuff.
-
Mount and Blade: Viking Conquest
play it maxed with all the NPCs if you can, is cray
-
Yo play Mountain Blade. Erops is right.
-
all good suggestions
also just remembered resident evil 7. Never played an RE game before but hearing good things.
-
Any chance you could start with an earlier Resident Evil? The new one is pretty good, but it's a far cry from the best RE has to offer.
-
RE4 and the RE1 remake are considered the best if I'm not mistaken.
-
wan new games
-
Yeah, RE1, RE2, and RE4 offer the best the series has to offer, as well as most of the main storyline. RE3 is good, but weird and also a bit harder to find.
-
Playing Sid Meier's Pirates again. Found a trainer with a lot of cool functionality that will allow me to tweak just about anything. Gonna start a new game with the entire map dominated by a single nation, then work from there and see what happens. Maybe seed a single large city for each of the other countries in-play.
-
nabbed a gwent neta key.
sooooo... Gwent. This game is pretty good. I'd recommend trolling https://www.reddit.com/r/gwent/comments/6735qs/giveaway_thread/ if you want to check every so often for a key
its fun, i like it
