Hurlshort Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Second Sight - Interesting action/adventure game I got on Gametap. Seems like a fun amnesia/psych ward patient story.
Maria Caliban Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Youch. I think I played this game too much. Easy is cake for me. :/ It might be 'cause I suck. I should have used stasis when I realized I was swarmed and cornered. I should have switched to the wide beam weapon. I should have reloaded earlier so I wouldn't run out of ammo so soon. Etc, etc, etc. Interestingly, I do better in the soundless areas. This is what a childhood of not playing FPS will do for you. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Maria Caliban Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Made it through the medical ward and upgraded my plasma cutter more. Wish I could go back to the beginning area and stomp open all the boxes I walked by, but you can't control the tram. I was going through the logs I have and realized there are blank spots - text, audio, or video logs I missed. Again, annoying to me. Hit Chapter 3 and the current problem is one that made the science fiction geek in me cringe "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Pandemic II - fun game, although I haven't managed to wipe out the entire world yet. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Maria Caliban Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Pandemic II - fun game, although I haven't managed to wipe out the entire world yet. Trying to play the game, but it just gives me a pop up saying 'please watch the tutorial.' The little X won't click! Edit: Got it. This is interesting. I vaugely remember playing the first one.

Majek Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Youch. I think I played this game too much. Easy is cake for me. :/ Only the last difficulty is actually difficult. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Maria Caliban Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Pandemic II - fun game, although I haven't managed to wipe out the entire world yet. I didn't even kill one person and they went crazy to stop my spread. I'm deeply, deeply hurt. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Gorgon Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 The starter lazer cutter is the best gun in the game unless you need to take out something with a ludicrous amount of hitpoints. I recommend upgrading that, and your suit, then take a heavy gun as you begin to have spare upgrade canisters for it. Money is better spent on ammo than wading around with 8 guns you can only use poorly. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Rosbjerg Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Pandemic II - fun game, although I haven't managed to wipe out the entire world yet. I didn't even kill one person and they went crazy to stop my spread. I'm deeply, deeply hurt. I just made a bacterial infection, called it "The Purple Death" - symptoms include coughing, vomiting, sores, diarrhea and necrosis. It's about half way up on the infectivity meter (necrosis was added last when more than 60% of the world countries were infected). It's carried by air and water. Later rodents would carry it and some of the islands of the world got infected. At present time it has killed of 5 billion and 625 million are still infected.. only 650 million are not infected and are located in South America (no countries there are touched), Madagascar and Indonesia. On average it infects 210 million/day and kills about 190 million/day. Thanks for the link DN - this game is great!! :D Fortune favors the bald.

Maria Caliban Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Marillixia: 53400 Began in: Greenland Days: 264 Symptoms: Fever, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, dementia, fatigue, diarrhea, hemorrhaging, hypersensitivity, nausea, pulmonary edema, ataxia, depression, and hypotonia Resistances: Cold III, Heat III, Moisture III, and Drug II. Transmission: All Trait: Durable (cold), Bloody Vomit, Apocalyptic, Virus, Cured I managed to get wipe out everything but Madagascar, Cuba, and Japan. For some reason, it took forever for me to kill off the world. I mean, I managed to get every country in the red in 30 days, but then spend another 230 waiting for everyone to die. I played a bit of Prince of Persia as well. Dead Space is TOO SCARY. I only play it for fifteen - twenty minutes at a time. Edited February 18, 2009 by Maria Caliban "When is this out.

mkreku Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I'm trying to have fun in GTA4 again.. but it's hard. The car controls are still not fun. There's nothing to do besides the main missions (and I've done all of them already). There are no planes, no go-carts, no hidden races, no Area 51-wannabe's, no insane skydiving mountains to climb, no property to own, no territories to defend, no special vehicles to go on a rampage with, and so on. Oh, how I miss GTA: San Andreas and the possibilities that were open to me there. I just don't understand why they cut out so incredibly much for GTA4! There are only 10 different races in the entire game, for crying out loud! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

It's like they took all the cut content from GTA4 that was in previous iterations and super-sized it. I customized the color of my windshield beeotch.

I unlock tier II and unbuy dementia. After 75 days, I have only 5 countries. After 78, I have 10 countries, but Western Europe begins handing out masks. They soon shut down their schools and hospitals. After 88 days, I only have 4 countries left to infect. Western Europe has completely shut down, buy other than India, other countries seem indifferent. At 92 days, I add waterborne to transmission and get every country.

Now Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Maria Caliban Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Hurldeath: 89063 Type: Bacteria Starting Location: South Africa Total Days: 146 I killed the entire human race again! It was much faster this time. (I'll skip the detailed log) I'm starting to think the game doesn't reward you for killing all of humanity. Just finishing the game quickly without being wiped from the face of the earth. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Aristes Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I'm not playing it now, but I've purchased FEAR 2. I will be playing it one Monday.
mkreku Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 My virus, Matthrax, killed everyone on earth within 155 days.. except Madagaskar! Damn you Madagaskar!! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
taks Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 i'm still playing M&M6. i had forgotten how long this game takes. i'm using a walkthrough guide and it is still an eternity. probably 25 hours into it by now and i have about just over half the 50 quests done, with the hardest yet to be done. some of the dungeons in this game are beyond annoying, being won only by attrition: kill off a few baddies, leave, rest/heal, return and kill a few more, rinse, repeat for an hour or two. in spite of being a rather annoying game, it is amazingly addictive, however. my son actually enjoys watching so i've been letting him operate the mouse while i man the keyboard. it's getting to the point that i have to figure out which quests i can undertake at my level, since some are insta-death. i barely even have enough dough to move up levels, so it's getting tricky. taks comrade taks... just because.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 My virus, Matthrax, killed everyone on earth within 155 days.. except Madagaskar! Damn you Madagaskar!! Yeah, it seems the hardest bit of land to infect. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Gorth Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 Still playing a bit of Microsoft Flight Simulator X every now and then. I managed to land an Airbus 321 without smashing it to pieces (yay!). Not even significant structural damage “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Playing through FEAR 2. I miss the more subtle Alma interventions. "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!"
Calax Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Playing through FEAR 2. I miss the more subtle Alma interventions. Yeah, but I also think that her being a kid heightened the tension some what. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
