Humanoid Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 As such will happen when I finally have my Tetris high score beaten at work (I lost the title for about 8 minutes with a score of 139k, to which I immediately snagged 158k) Space Cadet Table was the competitive high-score game of choice in my youth. Unfortunately at the frequency Win95/98 required clean installs, records tend to not have much of a verifiable trail. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

SadExchange Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Still putting hours into Path of Exile with friends and also started up Dead Space 3. Into Chapter 4 so far. Decent atmosphere so far and the graphics are decent enough even with some low textures here and there.

SupidSeep Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Downloading SS2 from GoG! Im on the same train! You guys make me wish I still had my original System Shock 1 CD. It was my very first PC game ... ... All I have left is the official hint book 'ICE Breaker' and it gives me fond memories of rapier-rushing Security-2 'bots (they took at least 4 slices to kill from 'Undamaged' state on Combat 3). ... and it took me a week of nothing but eating, gaming and sleeping to complete
LadyCrimson Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Sounds like the GoG SS2 already has a hi-res patch/mod included, or something. Other mods, the fansites are being hammered to death. Heh. Might get it when the excitement dies down a bit. Still have my original disc and don't care about most mod stuff, but nice to have a digital copy with hi-res attached to it. “Things are as they are.

Keyrock Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I'll definitely get SystemShock 2, but I'll wait until I see it on sale at 50% off because I'm a cheapskate frugal like that. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

I haven't ever gotten an old game with GoG that had that sort of technical improvement included. Impossible to find/use old fanmade ones for Arcanum (accursed game, must I reduce my screen resolution for your sake?!)
entrerix Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 i still have my system shock 2 disc, but i'll get the GoG version too, just cause im weird like that 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.

Keyrock Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I was going to shelve Serious Sam 3: BFE for a while since I just finished it, but then Uncle Gabe sprang this Steam Linux sale on me and I scooped up the Jewel of the Nile DLC, so when in Rome Egypt...

Disc copies of older games often take a bit more work to get running. SS2 takes basically no effort to get running nowadays off disk. The only really outstanding issue is having to use the -LGNTFORCE switch when installing, all the affinity setting and codec fiddling was taken care of with the newdark patch. [edit]Checked SSO and the GOG version is only basic SS2 with fan patches pre-applied, down to and including an old version of the patching utility SSTool. Expert tech ninjas?

Raithe Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Been dabbling on SS2 tonight. First time in a few weeks I've managed more then 20 minutes or so at a time of gaming. Currently just hit Operations level... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
melkathi Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Started playing "Impire" It's a dungeon keeper style game I guess. You build a dungeon. Heroes assault you. Your monsters kill them. The bad difference: rooms have preset blueprints. You can only rotate them and place them, but no deciding size like in dungeon keeper. The good new things: Baal, your character increases in level and gets upgrades hat actually have an effect on appearance (I just got bigger wings). You can raid the world above by sending units to target locations up there. It's nothing special really, just a unit traveling on the world map to a one room location where it fights some people. Still it adds a nice dimension to the game. Your imps actually have to work in rooms for the rooms to function. So one of your imps will have to work as a cook in the kitchen for example. In the training room, to be able to train a creature from level 2 to level 3 you have to first capture a hero and have him usd as a training dummy...

Malcador Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Gabriel Knight 3 crashed during the big reveal cutscene on who told the Schattenjagers to fight evil, bleh.

Nordicus Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Me and my friend started a co-op playthrough in System Shock 2. I'm a a gunslinging marine while he's my wrench-whacker hacker The game's not even remotely as scary playing it in co-op, but it's a whole new type of fun. Exploring, sharing resources and having our own complementing specialized roles feels really good
melkathi Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Played a bit more of Impire. It has still quite a number of bugs. The devs are actve on the forum which gives a bit of hope that they will fix them. Of course there was an unfortunate incident of a dev telling players to learn to play... and sporting a steam username "LOL y u mad tho". That did not help the studio. Obviously there have been tons of apoligies and a change in name... Game turns out to be far far froma Dungeon Keeper clone. It's an RTS witha small number of units. In that it is closer to Dawn of War 2 I guess. It is interesting and has great art style and attention to detail. It does need polish though. I don't regret getting it, but I cannot at the moment recommend it 100%. Then again, I would not recommend without at least some reservation buying Fallout 3 either because of the bugs inherent in nearly every Bethesda game So it's a fun little game. It has a reasonable price. It is deffinitly not what many people expect from it though and it does need a patch (which has been promised to come soon).

Tale Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Finished Devil May Cry 4. I'll miss the series. I'm going to see if I can power through MGS 1, 2, and 4 before Tuesday's release of Rising. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Keyrock Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Serious Sam 3: BFE Jewel of the Nile - Holy **** this is hard! I'm almost out of ammo for the weapons I got and they just keep sending waves of big and nasties at me. I'm facing multiple enemies that I generally use things like the rocket launcher of Devastator on and all I got is about 30 shotgun shells to use with the double barrel. What usually winds up getting me is those damn Kleer skeletons while I'm trying not to get blown up by rockets or run over by charging bulls.

He is simply saying he won't be buying the game Metal Gear Solid because he is saving money to enhance his PC. I appreciate this comment because most people won't ever consider not buying a game due to money, they will just Pirate it. So his post reveals loads about his integrity.

Blodhemn Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Started up Old World Blues dlc. It was somewhat interesting until the overlong intro with the lame jokes coming from the droids. Christ, I hate nerd humor. Who wrote this crap? I had to quit playing afterwards. Tommorrow after it's scrubbed from my memory, I'll resume play.
