Deraldin Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 I'm currently playing Elite Beat Agents for the DS. I can honestly say I haven't had this much fun playing a DS game yet. The game rocks.
metadigital Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Evil Genius was kind of fun for a while, but it lacked something. All that individual tagging of enemies was a pain, too. One thing I did like tho, was how you could undo your digging if you wanted, and rebuild rooms/areas w/out having to start from complete scratch. Even if it was a cheesy option, the way the game was designed I can understand why they did it, and I appreciated it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I played the demo and thought it was promising, though the available secret base equipment wasn't enough to overcome my ennui brought on by the repetitive gameplay: I felt like I was trying to empty a leaky boat with a sieve.

Surreptishus Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 I'll tell what I am not playing... with my Wii!! :angry:
Darque Posted December 9, 2006 Author Posted December 9, 2006 Did you fling your controller and break it?
Surreptishus Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 No... I've yet to receive the damn thing.
metadigital Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Poor planning. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Surreptishus Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Poor planning. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, on Nintendo's part or Woolworths'sss'.
LadyCrimson Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 I'm a lazy gamer. I don't think the wii is for me. And meta, yeah, it became repetitive early on. The supposed super henchmen were also pretty useless. I would have preferred if EG had had several "levels" instead of leaving you on one island for so long. I never did get to the 2nd island (there were only 2...) Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
Pidesco Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I'll tell what I am not playing... with my Wii!! :angry: Play with your other wii, then. I'm so funny...

Surreptishus Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Pfft... playing Deus Ex again. Just touched down in Paris before the catacombs. This is my least favourite part of the game. Anybody know of any decent mods?
metadigital Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Really? I like that bit because it's near-enough to total modification time! OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Kor Qel Droma Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I'm a lazy gamer. I don't think the wii is for me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I had my first encounter with the wii the other day at a friends' house. I wasn't overly impressed, but I could see multiplayer bowling being a fun drinking game. Oh, and GOW. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Enoch Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I'm not playing it yet, but I'm downloading the original Railroad Tycoon from the website for Sid Meier's Railroads.
Cantousent Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Still playing NWN2, but I took a short break and played FEAR Extraction point. A little more of the horror element this time, but still more of an FPS than a horror title. Hell, Painkiller and Alice had scarier moments.

LadyCrimson Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Majesty...the Monks were calling me. And despite the fact I didn't think it was that great in the end, I have this odd desire to reinstall Evil Genius all of a sudden. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
Pop Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Majesty...the Monks were calling me. And despite the fact I didn't think it was that great in the end, I have this odd desire to reinstall Evil Genius all of a sudden. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Was that the "Alternate Reality" game that was supposed to be a great leap in gaming a few years back? A nice high concept, to be sure, but it worked better as a marketing tool for serial television than an end in and of itself. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
LadyCrimson Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Which? Majesty or Evil Genius? Regardless, I don't think either are the one you're thinking of. Majesty's a 6+ year old RTS and Evil Genius wasn't set in an alternate reality - more like a bizarre fantasy super-spy-from-the-60's setting. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

Krookie Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Call of Duty 3. Just a little something to hold me over until Brothers in Arms 3 comes out in March. It'll also get a lot of playing time when I get Live setup.
Deraldin Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) I'm playing the "OMG the DS stylus makes my wrist severely cramp up after an hour!" game. Unfortunately the game is fun enough that I have to force myself to stop. Just one more round through. I can beat my previous score, it'll only take a minute... On top of that I think I've started to hallucinate now. I'm seeing coloured circles whereever I focus that slowly shrink towards a point. Edited December 11, 2006 by Deraldin
