Morgoth Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Opposing Force. This 8 year old Add-on still kicks ass. Rain makes everything better.
karka Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Star Wars: Republic Commando. One of the most atmospheric Star Wars games ever. It easily beats the KotOR series.
Tale Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 I'm all over the place. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, yesterday I started Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, and today I recieved Gears of War. I should finish The Witcher before I start Gears of War, however. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Star Wars: Republic Commando. One of the most atmospheric Star Wars games ever. It easily beats the KotOR series. That game is still at the top of my top 10 list. It's incredibly badass. "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!"
Hurlshort Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Star Wars: Republic Commando. One of the most atmospheric Star Wars games ever. It easily beats the KotOR series. It actually convince me to buy a couple of the books. They weren't half bad.
Dark_Raven Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Star Wars: Republic Commando. One of the most atmospheric Star Wars games ever. It easily beats the KotOR series. Graphics don't look that bad. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 For the Xbox, they were amazing. Though the Super Battle Droids were ridiculously tough... and the wrist-blade was practically the best weapon. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Indeed they don't. They even look better in motion. Anyway, I'm nearing the end of the Eschalon: Book I. I haven't had so much fun with a CRPG since Arcanum. Damn, fun game. And also, I will be playing Teudogar and the Alliance with Rome this weekend. I've just ordered my CD. http://www.teudogar.com/ So much game, so little time.
Tel Aviv Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 About to give Deus Ex the ole reinstall. BTW anyone catch the ho-hum teaser trailer for Deus Ex 3? http://www.deusex3.com/
Meshugger Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 ^seen the trailer. There should be a separate thread about it somewhere. Still playing Mass Effect and The Witcher though, and the verdict so far for me, is that the former is a pretty good game, and the latter could be a classic.

Humodour Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Opposing Force. This 8 year old Add-on still kicks ass. I love you for reminding me of that game! I gave it to my cousin once and never saw it again. Still, it's on par with the HL1 OC.
karka Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 I've beaten Eschalon: Book I and seen the all possible three endings. One of the best games I've played in recent years. So my next indie purchases will be: - Teudogar and the Alliance with Rome (Already bought the game. Just waiting the CD to arrive) - Aquaria - Depths of Peril - Starscape - Aveyond 2 (Not sure about this one. First game was OK but it's really easy to find free RPGMaker games that easliy match Aveyond)
Tale Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Aquaria looks good. I may have to get Eschalon. Still unsure, but you seem to love it enough that it's encouraging! "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
karka Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Aquaria looks good. I may have to get Eschalon. Still unsure, but you seem to love it enough that it's encouraging! Well, if you're a fan of long, complex conversation trees, very strategic battles, lots of NPCs with different personalities then it won't appeal to you as much as it did to me. But if you're looking for an old-school feeling, a logical character system, a brand new(yet not so original) world that waiting to be explored and great production values, you can't go wrong with E:B I.The game is really greater than sum of its parts and deserves that $30. Aquaria will be available this friday BTW.
Krookie Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Call of Duty 4. For a game that had its single player bashed for being to short, I was very happy. Most FPSs that are action driven (as opposed to games like Bioshock) seem to long to me mostly. By the end I'm just walking around like a zombie shooting at anything that moves. The story was pretty decent and I think it ended just soon enough. I still hate games that end with a missile silo level. The multiplayer is pretty deep, and I'm enjoying it way more then Halo.
Kools Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Now that I've finally put my new system together, spending equal time on Crysis, Call of Duty 4, and The Witcher. Haven't even started the SP campaign with COD, I'm having way too much fun playing the multiplayer. Crysis is jaw-dropping in terms of visuals, and has the gameplay to back it up. The Witcher seems pretty cool, but unless I'm drastically missing something, the combat is singularly uninspired. Wait for flaming sword to light up, left click, repeat until you want to choke yourself with your shoelaces. Also, I'm mildly confused as to how my pasty, white-haired, clearly far too Goth swordsman manages to lay every single female he comes across - often by giving them things like half a cat carcass. I've tried that. It doesn't work.
Pidesco Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 The Witcher seems pretty cool, but unless I'm drastically missing something, the combat is singularly uninspired. Wait for flaming sword to light up, left click, repeat until you want to choke yourself with your shoelaces. Restart the game on hard. The flaming sword is gone, and the difficulty of the enemies forces you to use alchemy and monster knowledge a lot, turning the combat into a much more engaging affair. Or so I heard. I still haven't bought the damn game. :sad: "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.
Tale Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) Flaming sword? What flaming sword? I have no idea what this flaming sword is. I'm on medium and don't have to use alchemy too much. I have to use Cat's Eye for dark places and I will occasionally use a Necrophage Oil. Don't really have the other oil recipes, though I wish I did. Like Ornithosaur Oil. I spend a lot of combat switching stances and weapons (which is neat because I have both a three piece red and three piece blue Meteorite Sword, so I'm switching between three swords instead of just two).

Pidesco Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 It's shows up on your cursor if you aren't playing on hard. I really should stop reading threads about The Witcher and buy the game already...

Why are you using the three piece blue? Isn't that one something kinda lame like Pain and Bleeding?
Tale Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 One has more damage, the other disarms. Disarming is not always useful. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Montgomery Markland Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 CoD4 multiplayer. Uzi and Last Stand for fun. Stopping power and deep impact with an M16 for success. Thanks for the awesome avatar Jorian!
Humodour Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Broken Worlds, The Dungeon Siege 2 x-pack. It looks to be a good romp. I quite liked the original DS2 and with the 2 new classes, I'm sure it'll pass a few hours. Playing from the start of the original campaign so we'll see how it goes. Go go Fist of Stone.
