What are you playing?

[DoctaD]

So we have active "What are you listening to?" and movie related threads, so here's one for games. I know a lot of us play games, but this forum doesn't seem to get much action as of late.

ATM I'm playing Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood on the 360. Pretty cool story mode, could complete it in a week twice through and get the majority of achievements, if you're willing to spend the time. The XBL multiplayer is OK, kinda fun but not worth buying the game for. A good rental.

I started playing Mega Man 3 (I think) for the DS yesterday, played for an hour or two and died... and I hadn't saved. That has kinda put me off for a while.

[savage_beauty]

At the moment im playing Sims 3 and Red alert 3 although not at the same time. :D

[Th0r]

I've been jamming around on Mercenaries 2. Apparently I'm appalling, but that doesn't stop everyone in the room laughing their arses off.

[Acid44]

FEAR and rFactor for me mostly... every once in a while ill open up far cry... cant wait to get a new gfx card so i can play better games :(

[odin_dax]

I don't play anything.

[.VX]

I've been occasionally playing Warcraft III for many years.

[thief]

I don't play anything.

I second that. :shrug:

[need2knowbases]

played sims 3 for a couple of weeks, got bored. best sims yet, i just get bored easily.

wolfenstein 3d i can always play. it's a classic.

right now, trying to get sim theme park to work.

[torcher]

ive been playing Ball Racer on OMGPOP.com

[bankraped]

Playing wow mostly nowadays. And Red Faction. And Gmod. All fun round my hzizie.

[DoctaD]

...back to CoD4.

If CoD6 doesn't live up to the hype, 4 will live forever.

[crazy white guy]

Spidey: Web of shadows. Good game but gets pretty monotonous after about 6 hours of play.

Dead space. Ready to give up. There are too many suspenseful shocking moments for it to be enjoyable alone. With friends its good but I don't see why anyone would play a single player story mode with friends around.

[Twist]

I second that. :shrug:

Third, If i were to play something it would be pac man for 5 minutes.

[thief]

Ah pacman... classic. Atari 2600. hahahaha...

[savage_beauty]

Now im playing portal :D it makes me laugh. :D

[RoundElephant]

COD4 and Prototype.

Docta D you should play COD 4 with 711 and I some time.

[Day_N_Night]

I play a free online game called Gunz Online occasionally but other than that i dont really play any video games nor want to.

[Vallen]

Now im playing portal :D it makes me laugh. :D

there is no cake

[savage_beauty]

there is no cake

The cake is a lie!

You will be baked and then there will be cake. No hard feelings.

Funny stuff :D

[The Schizoid Hatter]

It's all about American McGee's Alice for me.
Old, but a fan-fucking-tastic game.

I tried playing The Sims 2 & 3, but I got bored and said "fuck this". I love the Sims, but I often get too caught up in making families and never actually play the game.

Also, DDR, but I doubt that counts.

[torcher]

Resistance 2

Final Fantasy V. Don't judge me.

I've been playing Gunz for over 5 years now, on and off.

[Th0r]

GTA IV.

I've been getting a lot of ideas from it.

Vice city kicks its ass.

[Th0r]

Vice city kicks its ass.

I thought VC was nowhere near as good as IV. SA kicked IV's butt, though.

[Nox (ADVANCED)]

VC was shit, SA was good but III and LCS are the best.

Oh shit and im playin NFS undercover and Spartan Total Warrior and its fuckin best game i have ever played lol.

[Raverous]

I recently acquired Velvet Assassin, and Call Of Juarez 1... two disappointments in a row.... not even worth the little effort it took to get them....

[Micro]

Currently playing STALKER - Clear Sky

[Th0r]

I thought Call of Juarez I was ok, actually.

However now, I'm playing Audiosurf.

[Tricho]

I mainly play Rome Total war or Manhunt.

[Th0r]

I mainly play Rome Total war or Manhunt.

Both good games.

Manhunt is definitely the more satisfying of the two.

[Tricho]

Manhunt is definitely the more satisfying of the two.



Its an awesome game its hard the first time around but after you play once its easy to grasp all the movements. I love the game on hardcore difficulty its so much better of game without the map to use to see where the NPCs are .I was gonna buy Manhunt two but I found out they blur the little kill videos where the main character does something different depending on how long you hold the button; so I didn't buy it.

I've clocked 17 hours into pokemon yellow since tuesday, I'm addicted. (I have an emulator on my iphone)

But on a positive not I finally caught mew, (I didn't even know it was possible without a game shark).

God, I remember playing Pokemon Yellow as a kid. It was addictive as fuck.

It stops counting after 255 hours if I remember correctly. And how the fuck do you catch Mew?

He is SOOO powerful

I'm pretty sure that I've already defeated everyone. And I haven't seen my Game Boy Color for quite some time.

But how many Pokemon have you caught? I only have 55 out of 151

[bankraped]

Hitman 2 and Morrowind.
Fawesome.

[.VX]

~145? I haven't played it for a few years.

God of War II.

[REL0AD]

Wolfenstein. I don't like the veil shit but the shooting is good.

[Th0r]

Wolfenstein. I don't like the veil shit but the shooting is good.

I'm gonna buy it soon. Looks great IMO.

[REL0AD]

It is good, I just don't like the veil shit - magic powers and what not... I like the shooting.

[DoctaD]

I wouldn't buy it, rent it out for a week. Should be plenty of time to complete it and get well and truely bored of it. I lasted about 3 days before I never wanted to see it again.

[hoodrat]

Am a soccer freak, its PES Baby!!!!

[REL0AD]

Fallout3 now...

[The Schizoid Hatter]

My friend pretty much raped me in the face with COD: Modern Warfare 2 today. I was also introduced to Team Fortress 2 and Portal.
Holy shit, I'm in love.

[Th0r]

All three are good games.

[DoctaD]

CoD:MW2
I got a lend of the expansion disk from Fallout 3 GOTY edition, so Ive more hours to put into that
I can't find my gta4 disk, but when I do I still have about half of TBOGT to finish

I also got my Mrs the new mario for Wii today, its pretty addictive, we've almost completed it in co-op already.

[torcher]

ive been playing Wii sports. the only game ive got for it so far

[Jinx]

GTA III actually.

Found it under My Computer desk.

[REL0AD]

MWF2

[Slip240sx]

modern warfare 2!! I am seriously addicted to that game!!! My kids even know that at 1030 its daddy time on xbox

[Th0r]

MWII is fucking awesome, period.

[Slip240sx]

can you believe i just barely did my first prestige???? i need to spend more time on that!!!

[Jinx]

MWII is fucking awesome, period.

I played like 2 minutes of it and those 2 minutes were amazing.

[REL0AD]

MWII is fucking awesome, period.

I love it. Best game I've ever played. Fucking love it.

[thief]

A few years ago I played "KOTOR" and thought it was the best game EVER. Don't have access to games anymore though

[DoctaD]

I got it the day it came out but im only ~lvl 40, its good but I'm not blown away by it. A few new, better maps would help.

[torcher]

ive been working on getting a perfect score of 300 on Wii Bowling.

[Tricho]

I'm playing Metal Gear Solid on the PS1 emulator.

Fuckin' great game, I nicked it from some kids house years ago.

[bankraped]

Mass Effect 1, Knights of the old Republic, TF2.
Got the former 2 in the steam sale. ME for €15, 3 days before it got dropped down to €3.75 (FFFFF).

I've beaten KOTOR 1 and 2 a million times. Lucasarts are fucking assholes for making KOTOR 3 an MMO. I mean like wtf whos gonna pay 15 bucks a month not me and it pisses me off as a major star wars fan that they did this cause KOTOR 1 and 2 use to be my favorite games.

[Jinx]

Currently playing Forza Motorsport 3 lads

[Eulux]

cribbage, chess, spades, hearts...I'm simple...literally.

[iceniner]

Mount and Blade is an absolutely AMAZING mounted sword and bow combat game. One of the craziest games released in the last 10 years for FPS.

[Th0r]

Yeah, Mount & Blade is pretty cool. My brothers friend did nothing but play that game for the best part of a year.

[iceniner]

I don't think I can play it much-- it actually made me puke. And I was sober at the time, as I am 99.9999% of the time. No game has ever made me puke sober.

The combat system is a little bit wonky, but holy shit, they are basically a GARAGE SHOP so for them to be able to pull that shit off is nothing short of amazing. Tons and tons of shit you can do and I imagine it will only get better. I love cutting in front of enemy riders and slashing their horses across the eyes. Or cutting dudes from behind with a sword and watching their horses ride off with their corpses still in the saddle.

Great graphics too once you get into the real combat sim. The tutorials and everything else about the game look like something literally from 1995 but the combat is rather stunning.

Agreed, Mount&Blade is a great game. A few years ago I downloaded the demo from Filefront not expecting much and man was I surprised. I immediately bought the full version for $15 and haven't regretted it at all. Native is fun for a while but the modding community really makes the game shine.

I recently reinstalled Assassins Creed and have been playing that again. The story makes a lot more sense playing through it a second time. Taking the time to explore in between missions really fills in the blanks.

[iceniner]

I tried Mass Effect II. Linear piece of garbage.

Fans of the first, or the KOTOR games, will spooge in their pants when they play it. It's like those other games but more so.

[thief]

KOTOR was a great game I have you know

[Th0r]

KOTOR rocked.

[Jinx]

...Curently playing Farcry 2. Pretty damn good actually. Got my favourite style Ak on there too.

[_JT_]

I'm still stuck in the good ol' days of PS1 gaming! No money to spare for fancy toys, so I'm working my way through the original RE trilogy, on an epic mission to unlock all that is unlockable.

[Th0r]

Yeah, PS1 games are fucking cheap.

[Jinx]

I saw 2 brand new PS1 games the other day at the warehouse, $8 each. Don't know how they still manage to have them.

[Th0r]

Probably just unopened and sold to 'the warehouse'.

[iceniner]

KOTOR was a great game I have you know

There's something I cannot STAND about all those games. I don't know why. It just seems like you are railroaded along a line, and all the maps are linear. The fact that the games are so successful is nonsensical to me.

[Jinx]

Probably just unopened and sold to 'the warehouse'.

It's a chain store here Th0r. Like a Macys over in the states I believe.

...On topic I brought Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City today. The lost and the Damned is pretty awesmoe. Have yet to play The ballad of Gay Tony.

Yeah, I need to buy the expansion packs.

On the same note very occasionally in chain stores here PS1 games turn up. I suspect it's old stock.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Makes you wonder how long it's been sitting in the storeroom though don't ya reckon?

[_JT_]

There's nothing quite like the copyright notice on my favourite PS1 games to make me feel REALLY, REALLY old! Although I guess if the developers knew some sad bastard was still playing RE2 and loving it 12 years later, they'd probably feel very proud of themselves. :D

Doom II is in my 4Shared folder for anyone who wants it.

[DoctaD]

Playing Final Fantasy 13, awesome game. I clocked up 24 hours gameplay in the first 3 days.

I had FF 12 on PS2 wasn't really my type of game...

Figures, the one time i get a game from a highly commended series turns out to be the shit one. I'll have to try 13 sometime then.
