Tale Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Trying to play Dawn of War 2, since I own it and both expansions, but have never even gotten through even the first campaign halfway. It's a struggle. I can't say I enjoy this campaign even a little. I wish they had cheat codes so I could plow through it like I do when other RTS games get too tedious. Usually that's only later maps and defense maps. It's kind of every map for this game. I'm sick of using the same four units... every...single...map. And having to set up their flaky cover points every five feet. Only for the ranged guys to automatically lose range 5 seconds into every fight. But I want to see what happens.

Gorgon Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) The entire game is like those stealth missions I hated in the Command and Conquer / Red Alert type games. What the hell were they thinking. Massive collective brain seizure mayhaps. I kept wondering when the game was going to start and you would get something else than the tutorial units, another strategic layer would surely emerge... Edited September 14, 2011 by Gorgon Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Playing some Space Marines in the moment. A fun game, but I can understand if people find the combat a bit tiresome after some time.

Melee Commander/Thaddeus combo with maybe a Gatling good dreadnaught riding sidecar makes things go SO much quicker. (For the record, the Gatling WILL gib just about anything that gets in it's special abilities arc.) Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Orchomene Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) I've played Mysteries of Westgate. It's an ok module. Nothing exceptional, but well done nonetheless. Edited September 14, 2011 by Orchomene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 The repetition in the vanilla game can be tedious. Could always spice it up and use different units, Thule with the assault cannon and hellfire rounds is glorious (especially with the barrage). Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I tried to get into Darksiders, but I'm really struggling to find a good game to keep my attention. Deus Ex was fantastic, but I'm almost sorry I finished it, because now I'm pretty much waiting for November and the release of a bunch of games. I'm really hoping I'll get into the TOR test. I'm starting to get pretty excited about it coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's why he said it 'might' be fun. How'd you take a negative attitude from that ? Anyway, more fun time in EVE, my backwater system's been invaded by Russians and Poles it seems, bastards eating up my ore.

Sargallath Abraxium Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 ...beatin' up on Vagrant Story o' the PS3 an' gitten on time fer 'nother run-through o', ya guessed it, Planescape: Torment...ol' school fer this ol' fool... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowtrain Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 ya guessed it, Actually, when I saw you had posted in this thread, I did guess it. 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.

MechanicalLemon Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Icewind Dale 2 for me. For the most part, it seems like a lot of the feats are useless (although casters seem to be much better off). I loved the first game to bits but I've had trouble finishing IWD2. I've done multiple playthroughs and I always end up at the part after the Yuan-ti temple where you have to go to the Dragon's Eye. I get massive fatigue at that point and can't finish the game. I'm determined to finish it though so hopefully this playthrough is the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting with such a negative attitude I wonder why people even play video games? It's not that negative. It i just had a difficult arthroscopic operation on my knee and i need something fun so that lying on my back all day long is not dull or made even more difficult. And Heavy rain is not exactly a game you can describe as fun, now is it? But it's all I've got that i haven't played yet. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
