Title: What are you playing (video games)?
Post by: Saulbadguy on October 29, 2008, 01:01:22 PM
If you are like me, I tend to only play 2 to 3 video games at a time.  I only get a few hours a night to "game it up" so I tend to stick with a game until I beat it or get tired of it and don't play much else.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Split screen with friends is pretty entertaining. Ready for a new game, tho.

I play a game or two of NCAA Football for my online dynasties.  Then either Fable 2 or Far Cry 2

It's a good thing I have no life.

NCAA.  I think I might go back through MGS4, though.  Decisions, decisions.

RIGHT NOW:

PC: Warhammer Online.  I'm rollin w/ a Black Orc on the Sylvania server.  Overall I like it more than WoW, it is more PvP oriented and not so carebearish like WoW is and not a mindless grindfest either.  

PS3: LittleBigPlanet, although the online play is currently broken.  Single player is fun, a very easy game to get in to.  

Nintendo DS: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, "Justice for All...".  Yeah, I like it.  If you don't know, you probably shouldn't ask.

The Wii is collecting dust, as is the PSP until Patapon 2 comes out.

Wii:  MarioCart but mostly dust collector.  going to end up on craigslist soon.
PS2: TonyHawk Pro Skater 2
PS3:   :lol:
360:  Pure demo (thought was getting full game for b-day, but no luck  :blank:), COD4, GTA4, Rock Band.  Getting GOW2 next week.
PC: died. just got new extreme gaming machine Apple iMAC, haven't set it up yet though.  can't wait to game extremely and rage face.

360- CoD5 beta (I'm weening off this). CoD4. Halo 3. Portal: Still Alive. Braid.   Fallout 3 and Gears 2 will be the next ones I go to.

PC- Call me old school, but I still can't get enough of Civ IV. I'd still be playing Civ II if they ended the series.

I keep asking for people to join me in some civ IV but I never get any takers...recently I have been playing Civ IV way too much...it was out of hand.  I had to step away for a bit.  I am sure I'd jump right back in the saddle though if someone wanted to play.

True, however no one makes updated rosters for NHL 93 roms just NHL 94roms.

However, the one thing I loved about NHL 93 was the fact you can start a fight during play stoppages, after goals, end of a period, and the end of the game.

Nothing is more gratifying than scoring a goal and then beating the living shiat of your opponent right after scoring the goal.

It is pretty slow, but you usually can bang through the first 100-200 turns in a few hours and before a human player the first person goes to war.  Once that happens, turns are every 3-4 minutes which seems forever while you stare and wait.  

There are options though, you can use something called 'pitboss'...It allows you to host a game somewhere and then persons can log into it and take their turn whenever they want.  They even have websites that will email you when everyone has taken their turn.  This is really for much larger games though (4+) and makes the game take forever since you actually have to load civ 4, run your turn and turn it off every day.  :banghead:

I have played the game with 4+ persons and 4 cpu a number of times and invertiblely someone quits or sabbatoges the game since they got pinched early.  LOL  In a regular lan setting it sucks if you take someone out because most of the time that leaves them with nothing to do for 6-10 hours until you complete the game.

You can also set timelimits on each turn but that really sucks most of the time and leads to big time mistakes, especially with noobs.  :lol:

We also turn off tech trading for a little twist.

I'd consider Warhammer. Not sure how well it'd run though. I only meet the minimum requirements.

Saw that at a LAN party this weekend, xbox 360, looked bad ass.  Kinda crazy on the guns though...chopping off all their limbs is harder than you think and they lay there pretending to be dead too until you walk by them. 

Make sure you play it at night, with the lights off.  :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:

I played Oblivion on the PC for a while.  It was a pretty good game I think, I got off the main story and did side quests for a long time, then tried to go back to the main quest and lost myself.

Fallout 3 does seem pretty cool.

Played both, and totally agree.  May try and pick up a cheap copy of uncharted.  I borrowed it from a friend and beat it in a week or so.

MGS4 on the other hand is so engrossing, it's hard to pick up and replay for me, because it is so massive, lol

Fallout 3 is just like Oblivion, except without color, and a slightly diff. story line

"Oblivion with guns" is what Bethesda said about the game.  Kinda true, but more like "Oblivion with guns and minus the fun"

Fallout 3 is just like Oblivion, except without color, and a slightly diff. story line

"Oblivion with guns" is what Bethesda said about the game.  Kinda true, but more like "Oblivion with guns and minus the fun"

More like it's &@#%ing amazing and you're &@#%ing retarded.   :curse:

360- COD4, NCAA, used to halo it up a bit

PC- Red Alert(Aftermath expansion), Red Alert 2, Sim City, Roller Coaster Tycoon.....I really haven't bought a new PC game in about 8 years. About 1-2 times a year I'll get sucked back in and spend a weekend playing one of those classic titles.

I am probably the PC guru on this site (own no consoles), don't question me.

Every single thing about PC games is better than their console counterpart, except of course when the developer is too lazy to make a PC version and just ports it from the console

PC: I'm an MMO gamer and I'll leave it at that
Console: Halo 3. Online play never gets old.  Fable 2 when I get bored...that game had so much potential, and though it falls short of my expectations, has good replayability. When football season swings around, I'll bust out NCAA 07, because I'm too cheap to pay for updated rosters when that will be irrelevant after 4 seasons anyway. I liked the new game engine in 09, but not enough to buy it.

ps3: gtaIV (yeah late to the game), and eternal sonata

I liked the demo for that. I think I'll rent it soemtime.

I won't play FPS/RTS games on the console.  The mouse is the only way to go...anyone who says different obviously has not played a FPS/RTS on a computer.

I'll admit that the FPS console games have come leaps and bounds since Goldeneye and their grid point aiming system, but it is still a grid and some games even still use an auto-correct system for your bullets so you don't get mad that you can't aim perfectly.

Adventure/RPG/Sports/racing games have always been my choice though for console and it feels like you need a controller to play these games.

Fortunately, the PC has come leaps and bounds and I can now use my 360 controller on my PC. :)


PC games have not completely died either...here are some titles that have come out or are coming out in the next few months that I want to play.

Empire:Total War
Battleforge
C/C3 new expansion
company of heroes new expansion
Football Manager Live
Elven Legacy
Men of War - although I'm about burnt out on WW I/II video games right now.

We could argue forever about console vs PC, but hands down PC owns console in these fields: mods, online play, and the ability to play something that you didn't pay for and not be banned forever from the network.  LOL

You can't use a single game as a point of reference, because games aren't developed independently for each system anymore, they are just ported over. 

But for example check out Crysis on a high end rig vs MGS4 on PS3 vs Gears of War 2 (or w/e the most graphically impressive game on 360 is)

not exactly an all star line up you've got to look forward to  :shy:

as a former pc FPS player (quake through RtCW) i would love nothing more than to return to the days where the PC was the dominant platform, the reality is that the market has shifted and developers are now coding to the largest audience they can, the console gamer.

Yep - PC gaming is fringe, niche anymore.  Still plenty of games I look forward to on it but most of them won't be released for years.   :flush:

I'll always hold on to my PC for gaming for FPS/RTS/MMO (eh) but nothing else.  It will be a dark day for PC's when they add in Keyboard/Mouse support for all FPS/RTS games on consoles but I doubt that will happen soon, and if it does it will somehow be gimped.

My thinking is they'd have separate servers for kb/mouse players and controller players.

i don't know what the most graphically taxing game on the 360 but if you're expecting anything to look as good as Crysis on a high end system does then you're going to be disappointed.

I play mlb '09 the show, and they just released FFVII for download on psn, so I'll be wasting a lot of my free time on that.
Playing that on my PSP at the moment.
what game did you get for 360?  i might pick up fallout 3 this week.
None atm. Bought some arcade games (UNO, doom, contra, duke nukem).  Will probably borrow Crackdown from a friend, I really liked the demo.  I want to play Mass Effect as well.

Blow up megaton clams. You will feel like an elite person if you do.

This kinda hurts you in the long run, imo.

Yeah, it drags a little at first but it will pick up.  I would recommend buying/dl'ing the guide.  There is TONS of sh*t that you can do but without the guide you're left to just stumble upon it all.  Must admit, I got my guide for free and would never spend 15 bucks on a video game guide...

Don't have what you would call a "Gaming System" but I play this game all the time.  I'm awesome.
