April 7, 200520 yr I'm just curious as to what my fellow posters are playing right now. I'm playing Beyond Good and Evil for the PC. It's a action/adventure/stealth hybrid game. Its remarkably fun and mixes the elements of the three genres pretty well. Not to mention it has a cool space battle, dog fight sequence and hovercraft races! I'm also playing Metal Gear Solid 2 for PC. I guess I don't need to tell anyone about what type of game it is. I had heard the controls were horrible for the PC and they are, and I think I'll need a PS2 controller and adaptor for the PC to play smoothly. But I'll hold out unless I can't stand it anymore. I may get used to it. That's it for me. I'll probably get my hands on Rome Total War next. That or Lego Star Wars. heh. Maybe both.
April 7, 200520 yr Good idea for a thread. Right now I'm playing Thief 2. It's a first person stealth game, in which objective is to still varius amounts of loot and usually be a general nuisance to your arch-enemies. Sabotage rocks. The fun part of the Thief series is that they have a thriving fan community and a crapload of fan mission/mods released ever since the editors came out. We're talking about 5 years here. And about 600 missions, who sometimes even outgun the originals. Anyway, The main reason for playing Thief 2 right now, is that I was chosen to test a beta version of a certain long-awaited fan mission campaign. We(the test team) have our own forums. Feels damn great, considering that only 11 got to the first test phase. The second game I'm playing is Clive Barker's Undying, a FPS from the year 2001, were you control a paranormal researcher and adventurer. The quest is to help his old war buddy from the first WW, whose family were once cursed by a strange enchantment. So, our hero travels of to the Covenant family mansion to help his old friend. And to fend armies of different kinds of enemies, when the sh!t hits the fan. Basically, it was his friend's, Jeremiah Covenant's, fault that the curse was unleashed, and the long-dead brothers and sisters aren't too happy about that. Add a big handful of lovecraftian influences, boil it in celtic atmosphere and allow the player to use one fo the most asskicking weapons in the history of PC gaming, and you have Undying. I've also started playing Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, one of the best games I've ever bought, but I'm stuck in the last Japan mission. On the other hand, I've managed to spoil myself of some of the game's plot already, so I don't know if playing is worth the effort anymore. Fun game, one of the more intelligent ones out there. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
April 7, 200520 yr Author Never played the Thief series though I heard good things about it. I probably play all three games one of these days. Undying sounds scary too. I heard it was a fps horror game but I try to stay away from the scary stuff since I'm a sissy. Ever since I watched the original Japanese version of 'The Grudge', everything seems to freak me out more than it used to. Don't watch this movie alone and in the dark. Hitman 2 I've played. I have it in my library of games. The last Japanese mission is where you have to actually work your way through the castle and assassinate the guy right? Took me a lot of tries to get everything perfect, though there are multiple ways of offing the old guy. Great game.
April 7, 200520 yr Erhh... (thinking) It's mostly work and very little gaming these days When I do have a bit of time, it's mostly the "two's". A game in progress of BG2, Kotor2, Jagged Alliance 2 and just recently finished Master of Orion 2 for the umpteenth time :rolleyes:" Before the current games in progress, it was Disciples 2, Fallout 2 and Pirates! (just to ruin the "two" system of my gaming) Once I finish my game of BG2, I might go back and try a new party in IWD2. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

April 7, 200520 yr I'm doing a fun game called writing a 5 page paper on the idealogy of the bolshevik revolution. but if i was playing a game i would be Unrealtornament 2004 multiplayer. Always outnumbered, never out gunned! Unreal Tournament 2004 Handle:Enlight_2.0 Myspace Website! My rig
April 7, 200520 yr Right now I'm reviewing Psychotoxic, Restricted Area, Star Wolves, Timesplitters: Future Perfect and Cold Fear. For fun I'm playing World of Warcraft and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 - The Sith Lords, although I don't have much time to play those two much right now. In the near future, I foresee myself playing a huge amount of Dungeon Lords.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
April 7, 200520 yr ATM I'm playing Anarchy Online (yay, It's free!) and KotOR 2 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Free?! Sweet! (w00t) This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

April 7, 200520 yr Unofortunalty I don't have time to play any kind of games these days! Even though I borrowed a friend of mines copy of Vampire Bloodlines because I wanted to try it before I bought it! but alas I haven't even installed it yet .. Fortune favors the bald.
April 7, 200520 yr Right now just Rome: Total War and sometimes Europa Universalis 2... tried SW Commandos a few weeks ago but it wasn't my cup of tea
April 7, 200520 yr A Mind Forever Voyaging (text-based), Darwinia Demo (strategy), Full Throtle (adventure, replaying it).
April 7, 200520 yr X-2: The Threat. A bizarre choice, but I saw it in the shop and thought "Ooh, this looks like Elite ", which was the first game I ever played on a PC. I'm still near the beginning, but so far, so really good. I'm thinking of ditching the main story line and wandering off to explore for a bit. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

April 7, 200520 yr First off, a tip to Azure: don't get Thief 3. It's okay, but it was waaay too easy, at least compared to Theif II. I finished it on expert level the first time through without any problems. I still haven't beaten Thief II, on any level. Also, even though the "world" in Thief 3 was more "open," it felt more linear than Thief 2. As for games I'm playing, I have a game of KotOR II that I haven't touched for about a month, but maybe I'll get back to it, if I can be bothered. Other than that, nothing.
April 8, 200520 yr dabbling in KOTOR2 for a 2nd time, kinda holding off for that patch that *might* come just dled RtCW:Enemy Territory. Even if it wasn't free, it is still REALLY good.

Also, even though the "world" in Thief 3 was more "open," it felt more linear than Thief 2. I agree that the world feels a bit claustrophobic and dreadfully easy, but it's good to get if not for anything else than the story. Personally I loved the levels, but could never really get the hang of the game. No matter, community is getting more and more mission builders now that the editor has been released. I doubt anyone is going to be dissappointed playing that game. :ph34r: kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

April 8, 200520 yr I'm playing EA sports Fight Night Volume 2 Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
April 8, 200520 yr I still turn on Kotor2, but mostly for screenshot taking or other tinkering purposes. Occasionally fire up DungeonKeeper1's DeeperDungeons, because it's always installed and makes for an easy time-blow off w/out long-term commitment. I was considering trying The Saga of Ryzom (MMORPG) since I wasted $20 on it on a whim 2 months ago and it's since been sitting on the shelf unopened. But I hear it's not doing well community-wise (numbers) and they recently closed the US server so...not sure I want to try it now. It sounded interesting tho (despite reviews....), especially once they started patching stuff. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

April 10, 200520 yr Just finished Half Life 2. And boy do i hate Steam. But on balance I gotta say it was a truly satisfying game, apart from the cliffhanger ending that seems to be the cliche of 2004.
April 11, 200520 yr :"> The Sims 2. I mean all my little men and woman, galloping around in my wacky creations. Currently I'm making a "The Atol" neighbourhood. Waterworld-like :D And Clocktown, from Majora's Mask.
April 12, 200520 yr Just finished IWD(again) PC: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (need a break from RPG's) PS2: Owner Mode in MVP 2005, Owner Mode in Madden 2005, Legacy Mode in ESPN College Hoops 2005, J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
