Im ok at CS 1.6
I wish I have the Orange Box

Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Oct 24 2007, 10:40 AM

I'd like to get the Orange Box too. I will eventually.

Posted by: PolackHax0r Oct 24 2007, 10:47 AM

I was going to get the orange box. But I was like, COD4 is coming out and that's the only game I'm going to be playing... forever. so I decided not to get it.

yeah, work is always a problem. I have to work 10hr days and don't get out until 8PM at which time I usually go to the gym. Then I get home and try to find time to play my guitar. The good thing about working 10 days though is I get Friday-Sunday off. smile.gif I like it a lot!

Posted by: VinceG Oct 24 2007, 10:56 AM

I could get Orange Box anytime I want. I have enough money burning in my pocket for months now. The problem is that my computer prolly could not support TF2. It can barely run Rome.

Posted by: PacmanProductions Oct 24 2007, 11:09 AM

man, i wish they had a James Bond game for 360 that could be xbox live capable... i would pwn everyone here... smile.gif

Posted by: The Uncreator Oct 24 2007, 11:11 AM

I have an unhealthy obsession with the Final Fantasy Series (Beaten All Of Them smile.gif )

The same obsession goes for the Half Life series, btw Robin, Half Life 2: Episode 2, IS FREAKING AWESOME! The Orange Box is the single best deal in video game history.

Portal is so addicting, mindbending, and just fun as hell. TF2 Is like crack.

COD4 look pretty cool, although Assassin's Creed will probabaly rape every other game that comes out this year for me.

Halo is pretty cool, although the story wasnt as deep as i would have liked, character creation though, in Halo, is amazing.

Posted by: Ayen Oct 24 2007, 11:21 AM

Orange box was great, Hl2EP2 was amazing, Portal was a lot of fun. COD4 is so much fun to play (demo), Assassin's Creed looks like the most fun game ever, World of Warcraft still remains fun. Halo 3 is also pretty damn good. Hellgate London's gameplay is disappointing but still for some reason a lot of fun to play.

I really HATE World of Warcraft with a passion mad.gif
My brothers have wasted so much time on that stupid game. On beautiful sunny days. "Hey Dan, let's go out and toss the football or something." I can't, I have to raid this village and me and my team won't be done for another 4 hours." "Are you kidding me?!??!?!"

I wouldn't be so annoyed with it if that was once in a while, but seriously, it's EVERYDAY.

God I hate that game! mad.gif mad.gif mad.gif mad.gif

Gaming, IMO, is cool, as long as it's not your life! (if it is your live, I hope you get paid for it. More power to you!) I love COD, but I'm not going to be playing it from the moment I get home to the moment I go to bed....

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Arg, completely agreed! It stole a whole year of my life :S. Granted, it's fun on a gaming level, but when you're spending 14 hours straight trying to get something that has no physical value, it's just stupid.

Can't wait for Orange Box, Mass Effect and Assassins Creed! Also I need to get Bioshock.
If only exams were over though, heh.

Anyone here play Neverwinter Nights?

LOL - yeah i have a horrible PS3.

The guitar heroes were fun, but I kinda lost my desire to play them. If I feel like playing GH, I would rather just play my real guitar. My brother is INSANELY good when it comes to GH, and the real guitar for that matter.... He five stared a good majority of the songs on expert. it's unreal how good he is...

isn't GH3 being made by another company though?

-Justin

Posted by: Spiderusalem Oct 24 2007, 03:20 PM

yeah. I spent a long time on MMO's like Everquest and City of Heroes. Granted they were super fun and i met some cool people and learned some life lessons I probably couldn't have learned anywhere else, it still feels like a time sink.


- Starcraft

- Fatal Frame

- Final Fantasy 7

- Resident Evil 1, 2

- Earthbound

- Goldeneye 64

- Mortal Kombat (any)

- Metal Gear Solid

- Day of the Tentacle

- Diablo 1, 2

So. It's ok if you play for nothing, no rewards? biggrin.gif

Physical value? Like money? Real world money is as fake as any monetary system in an online game. They are all just a virtual representation of ... what? You can trade this amount of coins for that. They are all sensitive to theft, frauds, forgery, dumping of the market and so on.

The value is just as real in the game as it is in any world. Like the real world.
You spend this amount of time "working" to get that amount of money or that cool equipment.

What's the difference in sitting at an office behind a computer all day and produce nothing physical and get a certain amount of money on your account for that, or doing it in a game environment?

Who's to say that spending four hours with your friends online is wrong, but spending them on a pub is OK? (Well I'd be in the pub but that's not the point).

I know it gets out of hand for some but I'm not the one to say that 14 hours online is madness but 14 hours of guitar is a healthy way of living. To each his own.


BTW:

ETQW.

I tried COD4 demo yesterday...i was not impressed by it, and no, it was not low details - i can run it on the highest possible details. In my opinion COD was much better when they used the WW2 times.

Right now i am only playing Battlefield 2, Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion and Vietcong here and there. Last couple of months I seriously reduced the time spent on games.

The problem I'm having with Halo 3 is not so much the story, it's freakin fun to do four player co-op, but the multiplayer. I'ts like everyone ,who was awesome at Halo 2 because they played all day, has had their skill transfer from Halo2 to Halo 3.So I can't hardly win a ranked match sad.gif

It, didn't really help me out on guitar, except make me want to play some of the songs, but yeah it's a freakin fun game. The track listing for this one isn't as good as the previous GH games, though, imo. smile.gif It doesn't really get good till the last track with Metallica and Slayer, but they don't have Megadeth....or Pantera. mad.gif

As far as WOW goes, I LOVE IT, I havet played it in a long time, but i'm going to build my own gaming computer, I won't waste tons of time on it though


To those who want Bioshock, its a really short game, I have it, but it is good, I don't think it should have got a 10/10 (Game Informer) though.

Like blindwillie said - to each his own. A gaming computer shouldn't be that expensive. I think I spent like $1,400 USD on mine. or $1,200 USD? I can't remember.

I kinda agree with you about bioshock. I played it for like 2 days then I stopped.

Has anyone played Company of Heroes for the PC? It's pretty amazing!

Lets talk about videogames laugh.gif

Anyone want to start?



Right now I'm not really playing anything that much, I do dabble in Need for Speed Carbon, Splinter Cell Double Agent for the WII and I also like WII sports quite a bit.

I used to be a video game addict. For the longest time I would get up with the family and then when they went off to school and work I would jump on the computer and play MMORG's, I go all the way back to M59, I played and tested, The Realm I, II & III, Ultima Online, EQ, AC I & II, DAOC, SWG, AO, WWIIOL, Shadowbane, WOW, Vanguard, LOTR. If the game had an add on pack I probably bought it.

As you can see I've been playing MMORPG's for a long time. I ended up buying LOTR but never really played it and then decided to give up online games. Warhammer and Age of Conan are coming out and I'm on the lists to test them so I might test them and then decide to buy, but it's really going to have to be different game for me to ever play online again.

As for stand alone games the list is just too large for me to try and do that here. Same goes with PS2 games we probably own 200 of them if not more. We burned out 4 PS2's and are on the 5th one now, ROFL.

Of course all of this is over the span of 10+ years. It looks like a lot when I list it but it's really not when you consider there are 5 of us here all who play games of one kind or another.

Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Oct 25 2007, 12:52 AM

I'll give you details later, I gotta go back to school, i get to come home for lunch everyday since my school is a 5 minute walk from my house which is sick. smile.gif

If you build your own, you can save a bunch of $$$. It's really not that hard to do either. I built this one a little over a year ago for about $1900.00 and it was all the top of the line(pretty much) hardware at the time. If you need help in figuring out what to put in it, how to do something etc. You can go to the Tom's hardware site; Forums area and then to the Homebuilt Systems forum. A lot of great guys there with a lot of great advice on how to build your home PC for whatever you want to do with it.

Posted by: The Uncreator Oct 25 2007, 02:48 AM

there should never be a WW2 Game ever made again, we have thousands of them, and all of them suck! same guns, same story, same objectives, very repetitive.

DIE WW2 GAMES DIE!!!

Posted by: Ayen Oct 25 2007, 03:13 AM

I know what you mean Polack. I usually only play WoW if I have nothing better to do. It's a way to kill time, and nothing more.

I got a Wii for my birthday, and I hate it like the plague. I bought Twilight Princess because I heard it was good, and was disappointed to find that it really wasn't impressive. Sure firing arrows with the bow is fun, but so far I rarely even use it.

Nein, not all of them suck. We have COD1 and COD2, which were both very fun. I still think all MOH games (including MOHAA) are disappointments.

Glad You Feel the Same smile.gif

Just to set the record straight Guitar Hero Sucks Why ?

When you play " REAL " guitar why get good at a "FAKE" one when that "TIME" can be invested into something else.

Random Notes:

: I beat BioShock in 2 days on medium and its a 22 hour game, whats that tell you ? Its amazing and for two days straight I cut my self off from the rest of the world and played BioShock tongue.gif biggrin.gif Very Good game for 360 that is. Dont know how it is for PC

: Dont ever buy the PS3, why ? It simply has yet to make a good game and its been out for quite some time. Resistance and Motor Storm are -O.K but the Wii and Xbox 360 are coming out with far better games.

: WoW= Life waster. There is a bartender at one of are local bars and says here husband spends at least 15 hours on it a day. You get the Point.

:CoD 4 looks really good. Idc when anyone says I watched my friend playing the beta and he was like dropping air strikes on his opponents. Looks Intense ! laugh.gif

Some of my Favorite Games:

Halo 3 ,BioShock,Gears of War, Saints Row , Resident Evil 4 and so on.

Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Oct 25 2007, 05:34 AM

><!!! I hated GRAW for PC. Enemies would turn around from 100 feet when I was completely silent, put the sights to their eyes, and then shoot me in the head before I could even establish that I was even aiming at an enemy. The AI was purely BS, and I regret ever walking the 10 blocks to get the game.



At one point I nearly committed suicide, but then I realized that was stupid. So I shot my neighbor.

Sounds pretty sick, but Guitar Hero HAS been mentioned.

Posted by: Fsgdjv Oct 25 2007, 05:57 AM

I don't really know where to start, but..

Twilight Princess is my favourite game (yes Ayen! and I don't even care about shooting arrows with the wiimote, it's not about that anyways) followed by Killer 7, both awesome games, yet they areso unlike each others. I just love the gameplay in all Zelda games smile.gif

Metroid Prime 3 is coming out here this friday here in europe, and I'm dying to get it, even though I didn't play Metroid Prime 2 (since it looked like crap because of the dark and light word, having ammo, etc), but the first Metroid Prime game is definetly one of my favourite games, the feeling of lonelyness is so intense. Anyone here played MP3, or is anyone planning on getting it this friday?

And, I have to whine a bit about being broke and not having an xbox 360 (was gonna buy one this summer but I wasted all my money on guitar stuff-_-), I mean come on, this fall is insane! Mass Effect will most likely be the best game ever (I mean, even if it's half as good as KotOR it'd still be awesome and it looks like it will be a lot better), Asassins Creed has the same potential and Kane and Lynch seems really interesting.

I also have to say that I got a bit dissapointed with Bioshock (played it at a friends house), you don't get the feeling of freedom at all, but I guess I had way to high expectations..

I could not agree with you more!!! biggrin.gif
The PS3 is seriously the WORST!!! There is a guy that works with me that is a HARDCORE PS3 fanboy and all he does is talk about how "amazing" that cosole is and how it totally destroys the 360. lol God I hate my PS3. Glad I got it for xmas and didn't have to spend any money on it. And resistance was not "O.K" it SUCKED!

IU wouldnt say never buy one, when it does have games out, it will be worth it, FF7 and FF13 are worth it for me.

Plus, Solid Snake owns pretty much every viedo game character ever. MGS4, Cant wait! smile.gif

Now, name all the systems you have for gaming smile.gif

1 .Playstation 1
2. Playstation 2
3. Playstation 3 (on reserve)
4. XBOX 360
5. PC
6. Nintendo
7. Super Nintendo

EDIT

XBOX Doesnt cost that much for live, and its a once a year payment, never had my XBOX Freeze. Either system is worth the buy i think.

Well first of all, I have a 60 and it never freezes, so there is no problem in buying one (way better than PS3 in my opinion!) and the reason playstation online is free is because it isnt anything like Xbox Live. It costs money because its way more advanced than PS online.

I don't really know where to start, but..

Twilight Princess is my favourite game (yes Ayen! and I don't even care about shooting arrows with the wiimote, it's not about that anyways) followed by Killer 7, both awesome games, yet they areso unlike each others. I just love the gameplay in all Zelda games smile.gif


I've never played a Zelda game other than Twilight Princess. To be honest, the gameplay seemed pretty average compared to most games I've played. I'm not saying it sucked, I'm just saying that nothing about it came out and made me say "Oh crap, that's so cool!".

An example for this is Shadow of the Colossus. Even coming upon the first colossus, your brain melts in awe of the giant monster, and the fact that you, nothing more than a small child, are about to kill it.

I agree with you although i have played a couple of the past Zelda games. I have never finished any of them but I don't think the new one was amazing, it was decent.

Those are the ones I played mostly, the N64 ones, but I played them on a gamecube because they rereleased it for that. I have played Twilight for a while also though. Only a few hours worth.

At PolackHax0r: I know man, my brother is the same way! Back when I was into it "hardcore" I at least went outside!

But I exercise self control... I don't know how you people spent more than 3 hours on it at a time, didn't you get bored?

I used to be pretty damn good at CS 1.6 - I have a 6 digit Steam ID(not ebay'd) and I was CAL Main back when CAL was big(unlike today)

Assassin's Creed looks like it has the potential to be the greatest game ever created.

Guitar Hero II got me into guitar! I don't regret playing it as it lead me to buy an actual guitar, and now I enjoy playing my real guitar so much more than Guitar Hero II!

Microsoft just hyped it up way too much, like they do most things. I've got to say the Forge mode and recording game footage is pretty cool, but still, it's such as basic shooter when you get right down to it. I'd personally much rather have the Orange Box than Halo 3, but since I'm not really playing that much anymore I'd rather just save up my money for more guitar stuff and a car.

Posted by: Ayen Dec 11 2007, 09:37 PM

Just reinstalled Oblivion on my PC (never liked FPS's on 360 too much), excellent game overall.

Only thing I didn't like was that at one point the Dark Brotherhood quests stopped, and so did most of my interest sad.gif.

I've got to try out Knights of the Nine though, heard it adds in a whole bunch of gameplay time.

I played through all the Mages quests and almost all fighters guild quests and all the dark brotherhood quests. I found them all very fun, so fun that I didn't do any quests of the main storyline biggrin.gif

Any of you guys played Elder Scrolls: Oblivion? I had like 40h of playing time on it when my hard drive decided to broke down and I lost my save game sad.gif but now Im starting to play it again, it's such an awesome and addictive game! biggrin.gif


I finished the main story quest, than finished all the guilds quest, mage's guild, fighters guild, thieves guild, dark brotherhood, the Arena fights....had like 70 hours spent in game - it was extremely awesome. The music in the game inspired me to write my own classical music and the graphics are breathtaking.

Good call Toni.

I actually found Oblivion a bit dull, but I'm the only one I know of that didn't enjoy it a lot, so I guess it's just my problem. laugh.gif But yeah, the music in Oblivion was really awesome, I can't deny that.

EDIT: Oh, and if I would've played guitar instead of all that WoW I played, I would have been Buckethead. Seriously, I would have transformed into him because of the fact that I would practice like 15 hours/day for more than a year, with no exceptions.

I haven't played a game in nearly four months now and I'm going through withdrawal symptoms! I finished college for the semester at the end of the week and it'll betime to dust off the ol 360.

I had an idea about something like that a month or two ago, maybe if we can find the thread we can get all the people who wanted to originally join in, rent a server or something, and play our hearts out.

Funny story?

Me and some friends were playing Halo 2 splitscreen, and one person rammed into a Scorpion tank with the Banshee (Map was coagulation). I was running in the middle of the map and noticed something above me slowly getting closer. I only realized what it was till it was too late.

"Oh look its a piece of armor falling above me"

"Oh look its a tire"

"Oh look its a warthog"

"OH S*** IT'S A TANK!"

I think CoD 4 is the best in the series since CoD 1, 'cause cod 2 and 3 were just so basic (and I think the third one wasn't even released for the PC). CoD 4 has very cool scenarios and missions, plus it has great graphics smile.gif

But despise every world war II game, seeing as they are all the same. and boring to me to tongue.gif

Loved COD1, since I wasn't fighting alone like MOH games. COD2 built on it and was also good. COD3 completely sucked because it wasn't released on PC, and that's all I'm basing my opinion of it on.

And COD4 is awesome. The way the game ends is the best part:'(

well i was playing Halo 3 with my friends on the map "vallhalla" and i was standing on a rock in front of the gravity launches on the bases, and my friend drives a mongoose off the gravity launch, does a half barrel roll. i snipe him in the air right out of the cockpit, he dies and fall to the ground, but the mongoose still goes straight and slams into me... killing me.... sad.gif tongue.gif

Awesome, as usual, Uncreator!

And "W00T", I finally beat the last level of Call of Duty 4 on Veteran (Mile High club achievement and whatnot).

From the time I started the level, to the end, I had restarted it at least 200+ times, and changed the strategy from sniping to agressive rushing.

Finally good to finish SP off.

Posted by: The Uncreator Dec 20 2007, 12:24 PM

Posted by: Ayen Dec 20 2007, 09:06 PM

Agreed, every thing had to be perfectly timed. After a few minutes I adopted the "one screw up, restart" mentality. Saved me some time I guess.

Posted by: The Uncreator Dec 20 2007, 09:15 PM

So I was playing Pong back in like 1974 thinking this video game thing might be big someday. Then I used to sneak into the local bar when I was 13 to play Asteroids on the 25 cent arcade machine and some pacman to boot. I played space invaders on the atari game console with a joystick and a "Button", the commodore 64 personal computer when it took a whole minute to look left or right. Then came a real PC where the original Half Life franchise began. If you like first person shooters and can get over the early graphics It was the first real super shooter and the great great grandfather of counterstrike source. I love shooters, Halflife 1 and 2 +++, Unreal tournament 1,2,3, counter strike (screen name "Rodnator"), Quake 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 Doom 1,2,3, Duke Nukem' Gears of war, recently Bioshock was great, and I'm almost finished Crysis which is awesome. Online is great but I'm afraid of all you young folk, Think I'm gonna get my butt kicked, Maybe.........Maybe not.

So....Me and my friend were on call of duty 4 today, we were playing Crossfire and we started on the marines side, i ran into the second story building and did some sniping, I usually get about 10-12 kills before i die, but this time.... I think not, me and him were up there the entire time. The other team (for whatever reason) kept running straight at us in the streets!

It was liking shooting the side of the barn, except the barn fired back, poorly though.

Me and him ended with 24 Kills, 2 Death.....God it was fun smile.gif

Do you have COD4 for the PC or Xbox 360?

Posted by: The Uncreator Jan 13 2008, 12:27 AM

Xbox 360. smile.gif

Posted by: albino Jan 27 2008, 07:01 PM

Yeah, love them P.C. games but I get annoyed at the addition of a sidekick character with an attitude that talks on and on, as in those annoying scenes in HalfLife 2. You can't cut the scene so the character makes you throw a ball at a robot dog for five minutes, or gushes over you like a sycophant while you're stuck in a lift with a disabled gun that won't put her out of your misery. Having said that, HL2 was superb.
Also noticing alot of helicopter crashes lately where you stagger to your feet after a guided missile hit. It was good the first time but after the 3rd...yawn. [Fear, COD4] Still, great games none-the-less.
My wish for a future game is one where you can go into a movie and change the outcome. For example, you beam onto the Titanic, blow up the iceberg before collision with a rocket launcher, then chase Kate Winslett and Leo di Capprio around the ship with aforementioned BFG thereby averting ham acting and silly dialogue. Or perhaps you beam into a cowboy and western movie with a tank or Black Hawk and side with the Indians against Fort Whatever. Sure the game would last ten minutes but it would be a good ten minutes.
The other idea is to timeshift a horde of flesh-eating zombies into the movie 'The Sound of Music', with yourself as chief zombie. Extra points awarded for mayhem during the von Trapp family's concert with the townsfolk fleeing the zombies [unsuccessfully], or grabbing Maria's guitar, shredding some mind-altering solos over von Trapp's rendition of Eidelweiss finishing it off with a Pete Townsend demolition and brain eating. For the scene with Maria singing 'The Hills are Alive', zombies take over a helicopter and attempt to minigun her as she scurries to grab a guided missile launcher and ... oh dear.
Could be good?

Made a little search not to start a new thread.

Recently I started playing Breath of Fire IV and Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger again. Also...I'm playing about 15 other RPGs at the moment. Well, not at the moment, as I have not played any of those for about ½-1 year. I wanna get back at it. Some of it is really inspirational concerning guitar playing too.

Chrono Cross has the best soundtrack of any video game.

Posted by: kjutte Jul 15 2008, 11:45 AM

I love baldur's gate and all the rest of Bioware's games:D also love The Elderscrolls games!

Indeed. Chrono Cross is one great game. I've been playing Final Fantasy I recently.

The Legend of Dragoon

tongue.gif ... and I probably started playing 12-15 which I'm then...kinda stuck in all of them now. Because I got all confused and couldn't keep track of anything. So I'm trying to cut down and just play one at a time. tongue.gif

Vandal Hearts as good as baldur's gate?

Posted by: Enucleation Jul 15 2008, 03:45 PM

I remember Vandal Hearts. I enjoyed it.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jul 15 2008, 04:01 PM

Vandal Hearts is nothing like Baldur's Gate so impossible to compare. I like them both equal. I loved Alundra also and Wild Arms and Parasite Eve (kind of an RPG), Brave Fencer Musashi, Legend of Kartia. RPGs rock and I haven't played a good one in a while sad.gif Any recommendations?

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jul 15 2008, 04:52 PM

Legend of Dragoon, I recommend. I really like that one. Probably difficult to find though.

Posted by: kjutte Jul 15 2008, 04:54 PM

Legend of D and Vandal hearts ain't for PC?

You could probably find an emulator (how loud can I speak about this here at GMC?) and play the games on your computer. I know that have worked for me with Vandal Hearts once, when I didn't have any Playstation to play the game on.

Otherwise, these two titles are for Ps1.

laugh.gif Good boy! Have completed most of my games - except some new ones I bought a year ago for PS2. Vargrant Story for Ps1 I never could get into properly though - I'm thinking about giving it another spin.

I don't know what to suggest then. I've heard Lunar: The Silver Star is supposed to be good. Never played it though. Have you tried it?

It rings a bell. I thought Vagrant Story was alright. You should give Brave Fencer Musashi a go. That kicks arse on PS1.

DUKE NUKEM 3D

Did you guys play DUKE NUKEM 3D?

It was pretty cool. I played through the Single Player on XBOX 360. If you liked the original, you'll like this. Better graphics but retro feel. Funny dialogue too. Here are some screen caps from my play through.

Duke is a legend. Duke 3D was amazing, fantastic level design. It's a shame about the new one, from what I've heard sad.gif Still want to try it out, though!

Note to self.. cover the DN theme..

Posted by: MonkeyDAthos Sep 24 2011, 03:17 PM

what about the mighty Serious Sam cool.gif



this is the new "re-made" version of Serious Sam: First Encounter.

Posted by: dark dude Sep 24 2011, 11:50 PM

The re-make does look insanely fun, too biggrin.gif

what are you guys talking about, DIABLO III IS COMING!

Posted by: El Fortinero Sep 25 2011, 01:31 AM

You so have me here. Man, I have been playing Fallout 3: New Vegas this last past week or so. I have wanted to call off work a few times just to play it. I duno why but I'm so wrapped up in it. After that I may go back and play Dead Island, but by that time I think Rage will be out. I can't wait for Cod:MW3 and D3. I'm actually saving up for a new gaming rig just for D3.

Posted by: El Fortinero Sep 25 2011, 05:41 AM

oh I forgot about "rage" and also far cry 3, .......Dead Island is huge! .....

I also really love strategic games, yesterday I saw that you can play on starcraft2 the missions of starcraft 1 ( with the graphics of starcraft 2!) . Any one to suggest? i've played all the C&C, Age of emp/Myht, empires earth, warcraft / starcraft sagas , settler's 7 , supremme commanders, lord of the rings, rome, shogun, empire total war, dune, etc.. I am looking for new ones to beat, so if you know any....

Posted by: WeePee Jun 25 2012, 08:49 AM

Just bought Dead Space Xbox360 for 10 euros. Man that's a hell of a scary game!! Reminds lots of Resident Evil series.

You play as Isaac in abandoned mining space station USG Ishimura where something bad has happened.
The character has several kickass guns so you can rip those enemies into pieces. But the best part is the music. Very scary and atmospheric. You really feel alone in the empty corridors and you can hear the enemies but can't see them. cool.gif




Posted by: Opetholic Jun 25 2012, 11:02 AM

I am not really a big fan of these games, with an exception : Resident Evil series. Those are very well done I think.. I like more phantasy/role playing games. Do you know The Elder Scrolls series? Morrowind, Oblivion and the latest Skyrim? Those are my favorites.

Here is a youtube video for Skyrim, it has amazing soundtrack by the way!

I am a huge fan of Morrowind i have beaten the game like 50 times now laugh.gif by far my favorite from the whole saga, haven't tried Skyrim yet..and to be honest i didn't like Oblivion that much, i actually enjoyed more the Shivering isle expansion than the original game itself.
Right now i am dwelling in the realms of Daggerfall (the 2ºnd game of the series) it's pretty vintage.


Meanwhile. have you guys seen the new Bioshock ohmy.gif it looks awesome.

Oh yeah Bioshock Infinite cool.gif I saw the trailer - looks damn good. I have played only the first Bioshock.

Now I'm playing Resident Evil 4 & 6 and Batman Arkham City. RE 4 is still classic wink.gif I have played it on Gamecube and Wii and now even on Xbox360 laugh.gif

Posted by: TreyDeschamp Mar 29 2013, 05:04 PM

Beat Infinite this morning! I can say with certainty it is one of the best games I've ever played. Bioshock is probably my favorite game of all time. This game was nothing scary like the first two but the story was incredible.

I have a list a mile long of what I need to beat. wink.gif
PC: Amnesia: The Dark Decent , Capsized , The Cave
PS3: Bioshock Infinite , BF3
WiiU: Lego City Undercover , ZombieU , Super Mario Brothers U , Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Not sure I really want to even play it)

I need to go outside once and awhile, not just for more video games and work! laugh.gif

I feel that I'm around half way in. I say this because I've played it 4 hours. Amazing game overall but I personally feel its less like the other Bioshocks, I feel its more linear than the others, more a long Dishonored style. But still having tons of fun on it! biggrin.gif

It's different and the same all together. You are probably about 1/3 of the way in if you have played 4 hours.

Oh dat game, few years ago me and some friends went into a very very very dark room with surround system and whatnot, some good old sessions of highrated heart beats i tell you tongue.gif, even though imo it's not as scary as some people say.

That's how I feel. I've seen people talk about screaming and such from it. I've yet to do that, but I get more of a creepy/uneasy feeling at times. When you have to deal with the water monsters... Yeah I was actually like OMG RUN!! COME ON MOTHER!! RUN! I got through it and had to take a break it felt kind of intense.

Skyrim hit the 500 hour mark lately <.<
