Calax Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 Just bought Republic Commando recently for my PC. To be honest, I'm not sure why, I'm never going to be able to complete this game! It's one of the hardest games I have played, although it may just be my tactics... It's a good game anyway though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe it's just because I'm an FPS buff, but I found the game to be exceptionally easy...and it's short too, took me a good seven hours total. It was a straight playthrough over the summer...and I was bored. It was cool and all, but some weapons were horribly balanced against enemies. The main blaster rifle comes to mind. Took like 30 shots to put down one damned battle droid. Just be careful...and let your shields charge after every engagement. Don't just run in and stab things, use grenades, each type for a different enemy group. Electro for the clankers, frags and mines for everything else. Don't skimp on the flashbangs either...they don't work on droids of course, but everything else gets stunned...so you can mop 'em up with a bit of melee. On Topic: I'm currently engrossed in KotOR 2 again, for whatever reason...that and Battlefront 2, along with F.E.A.R....still. I love the game. Oh, and a bit of Bloodlines for good measure. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And make your homies do your work for you first. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Musopticon? Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 I'm currently looking at a gift wrapping. I think it looks vaguely like Age of Empires 3. But, what am I playing? Well... At friends: Mercenaries Silent Hill 2 MoH: Frontline Final Fantasy 10 Grandia 2 At mah home: Icewind Dale 2 Baldur's Gate 2 Avernum 3 Ground Control 2 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
SteveThaiBinh Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 Tomorrow I get Fahrenheit. Until then, I'm enjoying The Moment of Silence more than I expected, despite some rather dodgy translations. I wonder if I could get a job as a proofreader for a European games publisher. Many seem to need one, and badly. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)

Cantousent Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 Okay, I'm convinced. I'll take one of the many gift cards I'm sure to get tomorrow and buy the damned Fahrenheit game. That and Dark Fall 2 so I have something to play with my wife.

Judge Hades Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 I wonder if I got a Euro Fahrenheit will it work on my PC?
@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 Far Cry - For Terrain engine research purposes, I actually think it's a decent FPS aswell, I didn't know what I'd think of it, but I'm liking it.

Petay Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 Have been playing most of today: The Matrix: Path Of Neo Not bad, considering the bad things I've been hearing about this game, although the camera angles do tend to get a bit annoying as well as the awkward way that Neo runs most of the time, but pretty much all of the combat; especially hand-to-hand is very fun most of the time. Firearms combat is a little awkward since the people take about 5 shots each to die Overall, pretty damn fun! /review

kirottu Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 Diablo II Expansion Set. Trying hard to not to let my HC Druid die once again... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fury for teh win! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually tornado + hurricane combo with dire wolfes for teh win... hopefully. I can get to last lavels of nightmare difficulty, but because none of my friends want to play with HC characters... I usually make some minor screw up there and die.

Darque Posted December 26, 2005 Author Posted December 26, 2005 You can get to nightmare with a HC character? that's awesome
Darque Posted December 27, 2005 Author Posted December 27, 2005 Now trying Warzone 2100. This has a rather unique spin on the RTS style of gaming.
