What games have you been playing recently?

[metadigital]

Half-Life 2 (it is soooo immersive, and I really dig that zero-point-energy-manipulator, y'know the gravity gun?): especially the new Substance mod (adds steroids to the standard campaign).

Rome: Total War

NwN every now and then. (QA'd Valourn's mod yesterday, can't wait for Dawn)

Haven't played GTA: Vice City for a while, but that is also still on my HD.

 

I played Doom 3 for a couple of hours, got through a couple of levels then I remembered why I thought Doom 2 was boring. Blech.

[Darth Flatus]

Doom 3 rubbish then? I'm waiting for GTA san andreas to come out on PC then i will get a new graphics card to play it and Half Life 2.

 

I have battle for middle earth sitting on my desk but so far ihavent bothered to play it.

Doom 3 is just what you would expect: same as Doom2, if you played that, just with ludicrously maxed out video requirements for shadows and such (no more than half-a-dozen enemies on the screen at once). It's just a masterclass in dark corridors with loot in visible ambush points waiting for you to trigger the hidden monsters to jump out from behind you. Just gets tired quickly. (I followed the reviewer's advice and played on Hard to extract maximum juice from it.)

 

Still, it is atmospheric, before you get bored cycling through the same scenarios over and over again. I think you got to hell at the end, too. There's an expansion due out soon (EoY?) with a gravity gun, too. (!)

 

HL2 is not that taxing on the hardware: if you can play KotOR you should be fine. There's an expansion due out any day (called "Aftermath"), as well as a whole new graphical modelling system they have developed to adhere to the lighting effects of real life which is due out soon as well -- for free (but you will need to upgrade for that, for sure).

 

Yeah, kinda dug GTA, but again lost interst after a while. Screaming around on different vehicles was the best fun (ZZR 250s and such vs. Lambourginis).

Thanks for the info and captures.

I don't get why people like Sims so much....

 

I mean, aren't they fed up with this ordinary life already?

Why duplicate it on the PC?

 

Or it's because they can't live like that in real life?

 

Anyway, never dug that crap.

 

I'd rather play some fantasy or something that's away from this world.

Same reason why people like soaps and why they love celebrity gossip. Its in human nature to be a voyeur.

[Darth Launch]

Well, I was just browsing and I figured I'd post something on here... "

 

For some strange bizarre reason I've got back into TA (even though I don't normally like RTS games)...

 

I've also had the urge to reinstall The Grim Fandango... how I love Glottis

 

Hee hee :">

[Volourn]

At this point, I'm pretty much just working on my NWN module. Soemties, I fool around with other games. My concentration, however, is finishing my mod.

I never got past the conveyor belt by the end of the world. There a bug for me that makes it impossible to swim up to the crane if the chain is in place

[Baley]

Yeah..there's a stuid bug that crashes to desktop whenever I try to get Glottis's hart...

 

 

Btw I'm playing Scrapland and Dark Throne

 

...and some Blade Runner

[Reveilled]

I've been playing Pokemon Silver. Lots o' Fun.

[><FISH'>]

Why is MGS2's story silly,btw?

Never played 2 so I'm kinda curious

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I recommend the game. It is really fun to play and there are some cool emotional moments in there.

 

I don't want to give away any spoilers for the game though. Let's just say the world is run by err... not who/what you think...in the game that is.

im ashamed to admit this but i was crying when i saw that ginger lady die in MGS 1 (was her name meryl?)

 

bear in mind it was about 5 years ago and i was a kiddie.

 

i never did manage to get the ending where she lives though even though i tried ALOT.
