Humanoid Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I was waiting for Steam to download some stuff that would take half an hour or so, so I fired up DosBox to fill some time. Started up a new game of Ultima 8 for the first time in god-knows how many years. Admission: I've never finished it before, or even half-finished it before, despite the Avatar avatar and all that. But here I am playing it straight - good guyjust trying to survive and escape Pagan, no stealing or exploiting, etc - and feeling it deserves more credit than I've given it previously. Anyhow, four-five hours later, Steam totally forgotten about, and about to enter the Catacombs. Really creeped me out as a kid so hopefully I have a bit more intestinal fortitude this time.

Walsingham Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Still enjoying Left 4 Dead 2. Especially since discovering versus mode in earnest. Got a little team of regulars developing, including one other Brit guy who is (I think) ex-Navy, and this little kid from some damn place who is an utter n00b, but redeems himself by doing exactly as he's told and having a genius with smokers. Huge fun. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Labadal Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Now playing yakuza 2. I'm happy that I don't have they kept the japanese voices. I usually like English in my games, but in Yakuza 1 it didn't work so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entrerix Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 i love left 4 dead and 2 vs mode. the only competitive game i've ever really enjoyed. it's almost required to have a regular team though, playing with randoms is the worst. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 So there are axes in this game. It's decided, my next playthrough will be as a viking. "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!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niten_Ryu Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Been playing Fallout New Vegas. I don't often say about this nowadays but this game is freaking massive. Steam has clocked something like 80 hours and I think I'm level 24 or something. I crash about once a hour and I've lost 3 quicksaves so far (I do about 1 non-quicksave per hour so that's 3 hours lost on total advancement) because of repeating crashes, bugs or otherwise weird behaviour. Weirdest happend tonight - I turn in quest in NCR HQ and save... only to notice that in that same instant all NCR NPCs start to attack Ed-I, while neither my player character nor Boone is red. Once NPCs destroy my robot, they all go back to normal. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burned my whole day on U8, finally finished it for the first time at 5:00AM. Must have been about 15-20 hours sunk into it across just two days. Reinforced my liking for the you-can't-be-a-hero motif and the reality of not being to save anyone but oneself. Also I'm a sucker for the music - my first copy of it was bundled with my Sound Blaster 16 and at the time it was the best I'd heard a PC sound, ever. Anyhow, moved on to the Football Manager 2011 demo to see what's changed over the years - I haven't played any iterations since prior to WoW so it's been a long time.
