Title: Video games - what are you playing?
Post by: Dr_Avalanche on February 28, 2006, 12:48:48 PM
Console, PC, whatever - what games are you playing? I think I need something new to waste my time on, as WoW and Civ4 fails to keep my attention for very long at a time.

Well, I was playing Evil Genius until my graphic card decided to burn out. :mad:

And I can't afford to by a new one for quite a while (Running on an ancient and borrowed card at the moment). :(

Dungeon Siege II would be an alternative. I enjoyed the first DS just fine.

I'm not very far into it as of yet, but it is definitely fun.

You'll enjoy it if you liked the first one.  Since it's not brand new, you should be able to pick it up for a decent price also.

I got a brand new iBook G4 and a hacked version of NWN and I've having a blast. From reading the BioWare forums, there's a way to play the Diamond Ed on a Mac, so I'll probably spring for the $30 for that soon. Anybody here play, and on what server?

Ain't got the moolah for a console , don't have a TV to hook it up to either...
So , I'm playing my games on my computer and since I'm quite the old-fashioned gamer , it's still good 'ole turn-based strategy and RPGs for me (plus a few arcade-games)
Add into the mix , my machines are completely Micro$oft-free and you'll see how I end up playing "Battle For Wesnoth"(on my Linux-box) and "Return to Zork" , "Elite" , "Eye Of The Beholder" I , II & III , "Wingcommander"(I-IV) etc on my (DR-)DOS-box.

What kind of multi player options does it have. Me and my friends used to stay up all night sometimes playing PD on the n64 but I have yet to see a good review of the multi player on PDZ.

The bots in the basic deathmatch and team deathmatch are reasonable.  I like to be able to play with friends against bots when they have less experience on the game.

For non-bot games they have some nice variants besides capture the flag such as storm the fortress type games, protect the resources, etc.

I'd like to see a Gun game to the scale of Morrowind.  As good as Gun is it's a rather short game and the world feels pretty empty.

For me got some Guild Wars going on and started playing Gladius on Xbox.  Cool game that I missed when it first came out.

I had the same problem, or close enough. I had to give up on it after trying to play it for a month, since my computer won't handle it without some serious chug. I now have to use our gaming computer to play it.

Call of Duty 2 for PC (so good).
Wild Arms 3 for PS2 (picked it up used, halfway through, fun).
Soon to be plugging in the old Dreamcast to play Grandia 2.

And I'd like to get into WoW, once I have the others completed.  Or maybe back into the Sims 2 if I pick up the new expansion pack.

Yep.  It's a little easier to make plat, but it's still the same format: Kill, XP, Loot.  Add in boring-ass quests, and you've got a game with suck written all over it.

I re-instaled to play on the server that was set up for NTLers, and just while away time until NWN2 comes out.  But the fucker kept crashing to desktop or rebooting the system. Longest I could play was 1/2 hour at a time. All my drivers are updated I even tried omega drivers for my video card and still no good. So I unistalled it and bought WoW.

If you were using an ATI video card thats your problem.  ATI has had problems with NWN from the beginning and was uanble or unwilling to fix the problems.

Yep I do. I do recal from before that there was a certain catalyst driver which NWN ran smoothly with. I am not goping to go to such an old driver just to play NWN.

If he's registered here, it's under a different name.  You might try to see if he's registered at one of the other boards linked to at the bottom of the home page.

Hope that helps.

This behaviour is what keeps me away from Civ games. After playing Alpha Centauri and seeing the AI there actually behaving like humans I could never go back to Civ. Though I could see the appeal if one wants a clear, competitive, "boardgamey" feel to their game.

I crunched through XCOM 2, then I made the mistake of getting the DLC, War of the Chosen and... whoops... I started giving it too much attention for a second round, dragging out the game play to ensure I got all the cool stuff done.  My laptop really really didn't like the game though. Load times in and out of missions are absurd! Ten minutes sometimes!!!! I can get up and make a sandwich! Haven't tried it on the desktop yet, but then I've been waiting for the Plains of Eidolon to drop for Warframe there... and if they don't, that's where my modded Skyrim and Fallout 4 live. Can't risk it, you see...

Aside from EBII, I've also been re-playing Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords, with the Restored Content Modification. There have only been a few new bits, but I'm sure all the bug fixes are making it smoother than it was originally.

I'm having loads of fun playing it "wrong" - instead of a bathrobe-wearer with a lightsaber, my main character is in the heaviest armour there is, with a pair of Ryyk blades and tossing grenades all over the place. He's basically Deathstroke. I only use the Force to patch up my party (I rarely get hurt wearing that much plate) and occasionally knock enemies down when they're numerous.

I'm playing Planet Explorers (http://planetexplorers.pathea.net/) in Adventure Mode. I've been playing it since early access on Steam. It's pretty casual for a survival game, and I kind of like the crafting system. It's not bad if you like building with voxels. If you don't, you can get stuff people made in Workshop and just pay the resources to make them in game. That's mostly what I do because it's quicker and lets me get back to exploring and shooting dinosaur aliens.
