Gorth Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Start of old thread End of old thread Managed to put in 15 minutes of Dead Space the other day. Haven't managed to get out of the crashed rescue ship yet Too much work, too little gaming time at the moment. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Deraldin Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I've been playing Mass Effect again, and ironically its a lot better when you skip all the dialogue and lower the difficulty. Blasting through enemies is fun. Dunno. Once you get access to Spectre gear and/or acquire Colossus armor, the game becomes easy mode on any difficulty. I found that it was at about level 20 that everything started to get much easier. By that time you had enough skill points to unlock your abilities that you could just keep spamming them to keep the enemy down. There were some exceptions like the rogue VI and it's hordes of rocket drones, but depending on your party, even 3-4 Krogan were easy enough to take down at that level.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 By the time you get weapons and armor with additional upgrade slots, its insultingly easy. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Shryke Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 been playing a bit of BG2 lately as well currently: Me (Inquisitor) Jan Jaheira Nalia in every previous play through that i've used Jan i've used him primarily as a mage this time i'm playing round a bit more with his thieving skills trap+resting = crazily overpowered when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
alanschu Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Tried to by Supreme Ruler 2020 but my credit card got charged with no game available. BOOOOO! Asked for refund and no game!
Deraldin Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I'm well underway on my BG1 play through. I just finished up the mines and I've been wandering the country look for stuff to do. I've never gone much beyond the story areas before so I'm doing a lot more exploring this time. Mostly around level 3 now so I've got enough HP that I don't go down to 1 or 2 lucky hits anymore although those Black Talon Elites are still really nasty. Ran into three of them and their ice arrows and decided that running away was probably a wise idea. Current party is: Myself (Fighter, will eventually dual to cleric in BG2) Minsc Imoen Kivan Branwen Dynaheir I need to pick up a couple magic weapons so that I can stop having my maces shatter in my hands after every third fight. I've gone through at least a dozen of them so far. I also have Larry, Darryl and Darryl's autographs.
Tagaziel Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Call me old fashioned, but the original Settlers 2 is far superior to the 10th anniversary version. HMIC for: [ The Wasteland Wiki ] [ Pillars of Eternity Wiki ] [ Tyranny Wiki ]
Gorth Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 I've never played the computer version of The Settlers, but the board game is quite fun “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Majek Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) pic Call me old fashioned, but the original Settlers 2 is far superior to the 10th anniversary version. Indeed it is. And my father agrees as well. He played them so much that i had no choice but to play outside. xD Edited July 9, 2009 by Majek 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Oner Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 pic For a game about settlers, you sure like to set buildings on fire. I should replay that game someday too.

Jeebus Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I'm ironically playing KOTOR 2 and Lego Star Wars TCS and UFC Undisputed May the force be with you... ..Dude...The Force is always with me
Llyranor Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 That's pretty ironic. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Gizmo Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) Always a bit of Chessmaster Just started Spellforce 2 Just Started Myst 3 (just completed Riven & Prey) Still on the last fight in Sacrifice A bit of Loki Redneck Rides again (middle of the game) and RagDoll Kung-Fu (with my custom Vault-Boy skin ) Next in line: Jagged Aliance 2 Dawn of War 2 Gothic 2 Edited July 9, 2009 by Gizmo
Majek Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 1 ... i couldn't stay away. Quite nice so far. Just hearing Dominic Armato again was great. \o/ 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Gfted1 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I need to pick up a couple magic weapons so that I can stop having my maces shatter in my hands after every third fight. I've gone through at least a dozen of them so far. Is that a mod? I dont remember weapon degrdation / breakage in any of the BG's. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

I've gone through at least a dozen of them so far. Is that a mod? I dont remember weapon degrdation / breakage in any of the BG's. Due to the iron crisis in BG1, normal weapons have a chance of breaking in combat. There is a mod that gives the enemy a chance to have their weapons break as well. If you never experienced it yourself, you must have simply gotten lucky. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Gfted1 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Yeah, I probably did but just dont remember. Its been a long time since I fired up BG1. Stupid Saervok at the end. *shakes fist* "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Majek Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I think that if you finish Nashkell mines quickly you're spared from most of that. Or i just remember wrong. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Calax Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Red Faction III. It's actually pretty fun, Different from the original in that you're outside on basically a red version of earth, and they have happily ignored the second red faction (which was... interesting). It's really fun to take a building out with your Sledge by knocking out the main supports and then watch it crash to the ground. Or set up some remote charges on a bridge, lead the enemies under it (or across) and detonate it causing them to die from the rubble. Only thing that's a little odd is the driving physics.

Zoma Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Playing ARMA2. I must say its Mass COOP multiplayer campaign can be either an extremely frustrating experience or a OMG WOW AWESOME MOARGASM experience depending if you play with equally like minded people. The latter being described as one of the best Coop experience ever with other 30+ dudes to play with.
Pope Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Finally got Grim Fandango to work on 64-bit XP, but I'm still having sound issues (such as upon entering the menu, all sound disappears, requiring the game to be restarted for it to return).
Deraldin Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I think that if you finish Nashkell mines quickly you're spared from most of that. Or i just remember wrong. I'm almost positive that finishing the mines quickly limits the effects, but doesn't remove them. I'm just glad I didn't install the mod that increases the effect to include armour and shields. That could get painful.
Monte Carlo Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Still playing MotB with a number of character builds and not really knowing which one to go with. Am V rusty at D&D, I need a slam-dunk character.
