Deraldin Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I'm currently loading up Command and Conquer 3 again. I need to go through the campaign again with it fully patched. The last time I went through Mammoth tanks were still unstoppable super units that could take out enemy ground units in one or two hits and had better AA than the dedicated AA units. Need to see what's up with Croatia. That was before mammoths, but I still don't recall it being as tough as some people say it was.
Kaftan Barlast Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 oh, and in the end as a plot twist youd find out that all the healthpacks are made out of people!!! HA! I knew you were gonna say that! All lies, it was a totally non-obvious joke. full of hawt chicks and zombies the female bodies the player sees were actually female corpses, the player finds out in the second half of the game before the inevitable turning point of the story. Dude, that would like.. defeat the whole purpouse of the hawt chicks. Itd be like you have this hawt hick companion like Sheva in RE5 and in the end when youve made out and everything its revealed that she used to be a dude.. eeew!!

Morgoth Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I'm stuck in Divinity 2. Some mage has to close portals while I have to protect him. Alas, evil Undead pour into the scene and make me to toast. Rain makes everything better.
Hurlshort Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Oblivion and Mount And Blade - If these two games were somehow combined, it might be kinda cool. I don't know how it would work.
LadyCrimson Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Picked up TitanQuest/Immortal Throne again. Reloaded all my previous chrs. Obsessing over items and such is always fun for a while.

Aristes Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Okay, I'm playing Fallout again after at least three or four years. I'm trying something new in maxing the Luck stat. So, unlike most other games where my character could either fast talk or kill the raiders to get Tandi out of danger, I approached figuring for a tough row to hoe. I'd forgotten that I could just simply pay them off, look at what gear I'd take when I came back with better weapons, and left. Now I'm in junktown getting that better gear. Time to head back to the raiders camp and have more extensive talks with them. Oh, and I've got Ian in my party and he only has a pistol. I'm thinking of giving him the smg. It's been so long since I've had Ian go burst on somebody while I'm standing next to the target, I have to relive the experience.

Most enemies kill each other or just blow up.

Starwars Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Well I gave up on Dead Space since I think it kinda sucked. That's one game where I don't get the high scores for it, but oh well. After that, the Zork remake module for NWN2 got released so I played that. Very cool I must say. Tough as hell just like the original, but lots of fun. Very faithful remake and extremely well made. I really recommend it. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0

Starwars Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NWN2M...tail&id=378 Says there that it requires MotB, but SoZ doesn't seem to be required. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
cronicler Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) Got my hands on a Earth "2150 triple pack" in a flea market. The game itself sucks a bit due to old and now horrible controls and Unit Ai problems but... The whole friggin campaign is better than all this crap we get past 2005 or so. You have a persistent main base. Your goal is to mine a lot of resources in mission maps and ship them to the main base to ship them to the orbit to finish the space ship in 185 game days. You also need to use those resources to research new Techs and build your army and base. Did I mention that the whole world is off its orbit and the whole place is frakked up after a nuclear war (and you will be very happy if you get 50k worth of materials in any ore field which are rare...and every computer player is after them like bloodhounds...) Also you can ship your units in a mission map back to base and use them in other missions as reinforcements... Units also gain Xp and can be refitted with better weapons.... The story is told with E-mails, propaganda videos and some cnn-like news channel reports. Sad to see new games becoming less complicated and creative than pre-historic games Edited July 30, 2009 by cronicler IG. We kick ass and not even take names.

Aristes Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I remembered that strength affected weapon choices in Fallout, but I forgot how dramatic an impact it has. So, my three strength character doesn't have weapons worth a damn yet. Soon, however, I will luck into that alien blaster and then I won't give a crap about my low strength. Either that or I'll get some power armor.
karka Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Just finished BG: DAII with 700.000 gold pices and 168 unspent skill points. I only used one healing potion(which is not really necessary) during the last fight and my necromancer was wearing nothing but his initial clothes. Now, wait for me Fallout: The Brotherhood of Steel!!!one!!!11

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.

Getting Sniper is all but impossible in Fallout without some grinding. The game is usually over before you hit level 18. Speaking of grinding, I'm playing Disgaea 3.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I just made this in Warcraft 3, if anyone cares. "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 July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I picked up the Fallout trilogy, 1, 2, and Tactics, for $20 at Target. I'm thinking about playing through 1 first, haven't decided on an approach though.

I'm thinking about playing through 1 first, haven't decided on an approach though. You would have saved $2 by buying it from Good Old Games, and they also guarantee that it will work. Plus you would have gotten the soundtrack, artwork, wallpapers and more stuff. Best of all you would have supported the Witcher's publisher CD Projekt. Edited July 31, 2009 by Purkake
