Darth InSidious Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 BioShock and TSL. This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.
Starwars Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Been trying out a few higher end games now that I got my computer upgraded. Recently: Assassain's Creed. Enjoyable in extremely small chunks, and gets repetetive very quickly. The game does shine sometimes (assassinations so far have been fun, and the getting away from guards can be quite thrilling). But there are a lot of stuff where I just go wtf... The story for example, and the fact that I have to click an unnecessary amount of times just to get out of the damn game. Crysis. Also an enjoyable game, I actully find it better than I thought I would. The action can be a lot of fun and quite intense. However, story is pretty meh and the characters annoy me. Still, it's pretty fun. Still thinking about Clear Sky. I'm upset that (according to many people at least) the atmosphere has taken a serious dive, but at the same time I also enjoyed STALKERs firefights a great deal so I might enjoy it as a much more action oriented title or whatever. The game also seems *really* buggy for some people. Will have to think on it. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Tigranes Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Recently finished a very nice IWD2 campaign, I paid some attention to character builds and was a bit more canny this time round, so I was actually able to beat Isair & Madae without cheating or cheesing. Never done that before, because I'd usually make some silly characters that were total deadweights by then. Weimer's shapeshifting is a bit OP though. Now on BG2, uh, again. God.

taks Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showt...mp;#entry884952 well, i now have HLA abilities, particularly use magic. with the amulet of power, my rogue is not having any problems with undead. add in an occasional protection from undead and it is almost a joke how easy they are to kill (need the level drain thing since i don't always use the protection scroll). i still die often, and have to retool fights accordingly. still fun, however. taks Edited September 14, 2008 by taks comrade taks... just because.
Kaftan Barlast Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky And it friggin' rocks. Fallout3 is going to have to be outstanding in order to beat SCL. ..for you who havent played it yet, theyve fixed all the balance issues with the guns etc. and added useful stuff like quicktravel aswellas a general polish.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Clear Sky - The vanilla game is good, but I think it could still be tweaked. For one thing, drivable vehicles are needed. "Geez.

Rosbjerg Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Rockstar games never had any appeal to me, and I never liked the GTA games very much, part because of the stupid settings (80's Miami? Fack off), part because it just looked dumb. GTA 4 however has a nice feel to, good driving physics, nice setting (modern-day NYC), mostly cool characters. So I was glad it didn't fail me. Blind purchase paid off. Dumb settings? I never heard that argument before, everyone I know who played the GTA series thought the various settings were hilarious and great. I really loved Vice City - running around in purple suits and looking like an 80's pimp. But I can see your point. I prefer a modern time as well, it's easier to understand the setting. Fortune favors the bald.
Illunder Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Warhammer Online It's awesome CE Headstart starts soon
Pidesco Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I just got the big box, CD version of System Shock in the mail. It's practically in mint condition. Happy happy joy joy! Happy happy joy joy! "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I 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 September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I want to be playing Clear Sky. But I'll settle for a second runthrough of Mass Effect. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Moatilliatta Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) Bought X-COM on Steam last night and played a bit to get used to the interface again. Gonna play for real as soon as I make time. Edit: Oh and finished Max Payne 2 which is way too short. Edited September 15, 2008 by Moatilliatta
Deraldin Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I just got the big box, CD version of System Shock in the mail. It's practically in mint condition. Happy happy joy joy! Happy happy joy joy! Score! How much did you have to pay for that?
Pidesco Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 It really is amazing how well designed SS1 still is, in spite of the awfully dated interface and controls.

Morgoth Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Too bad I got stuck in Shock1, otherwise it's really good, even for modern standards. Rain makes everything better.
Moatilliatta Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I couldn't play it all the way through because the game would make my key commands "stick" so I usually ended up in perpetual rotary motion.
julianw Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Just finished a BG2 run playing an archer. Playing Oblivion now at level 5 as a Nord warrior/thief/archer/mage.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Arrrrggg.... The newest Clear Sky Patch, something that had too many fixes and additions not to use, just made all of my saved games unusable. "Geez.

Nightshape Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 It really is amazing how well designed SS1 still is, in spite of the awfully dated interface and controls. So is UW1 & UW2, those games using that engine are the true groundbreaking classics of the early nineties... Well along with Doom and Wolfenstien, but UW & SS used a much superior engine. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
Pidesco Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I wouldn't call Doom groundbreaking. It was great fun, of course, but it wasn't particularly new or original.
