What's everyone playing?

I played RoM for awhile and enjoyed it. Very friendly community, and it seemed a bit more mature than average for MMOs as well. Still have it installed actually, I might go back at some point...

 

i plai now a old game again..
sacred 2.

 

Homeworld complete! Cataclysm half way through
The credits of homeworld had a prog rock song that I think is now one of my most listened. Homeworld (The Ladder) by Yes.

Dont you just Love game soundtracks?

 

I have that for my ps3. Its a decent enough game, just stopped playing for some odd reason.

Blind Guardian doing the soundtrack just rocks and if you read the quest text, sometimes they refer to a blind guardian concert coming to town.

Just hilarious

 

Sneaking my way through Thief: Deadly Shadows...again...

 

Fun fact: Thief was the first game ever to feature the ability to lean and peek around corners.

 

Thank you, Lady Mimsy: I just about spewed my keyboard...:-D

Fun fact: Thief(s) 1, 2 and 3 were the first games to RKMA (Royally Kick My ***)...

 

I like the Thief franchise. Garrett is one of the best protagonists ever ("I bet he's never even opened one of these..." while creeping through filthy rich noble man's library LOL ), and the whole premise is genius. It's about not getting into fights, instead finding other methods to get the job done.

They were first with that too, I believe.

 

I specially search sacredwiki for that quest:-D

 

This is the first sneaky game that i actually enjoyed. Very well done, but yet again another game i never finished.

I think i have a problem finishing.....

 

Me, either...I finished #1, but not the others...

Try it "Lytha"-style: can't kill, and you run through the levels as fast as you can - makes for a whole new experience...

 

I enjoyed Sacred 2 to an extent. I've always wanted to play the thief series, ust haven't had chance yet.
DDO is really good when you get into a good guild. I'm sill on it and Ansalon MUD. And just finished Dragon age awakenin again. Been thinking about going thru Neverwinter nights 2 in the next little while.

 

The really cool thing about Thief were the vast amount of mods available - between Thief and Half-Life, I've got about 4 gigs of mods, many of them quite good - and some of the names!

Hush, Hush, Sweet Harlot...Cathedral Of The Damned...Fireshadow's Barrow...The Monastery of St. Fera...and the list goes on...

 

Constantly replaying Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix - there's something to be said about using real weapons against real people in real scenarios...

Well, up to a point...:major

 

Some of those half life mods are fantastic!
Thief is a game I think I may have form the first PC I ever bought with my hard earned paper round money!
Methinks I have to go digging...

 

I just stumbled across this thread . . . so, I'm playing:
Metro2033
CoD: MW, MW2, WaW
Battlefield Bad Company2
Left4Dead 1 & 2 (I just LOVE killing zombies in single player mode!)
Played FEAR and FEAR2 enough to make 'em boring (I guess #3 is coming out in 2011)
I know they're old, but I simply cannot stop playing Serious Sam 1st Encounter (re-released in HD recently) and Serious Sam 2. Cheezy humor, but some of the funnest, craziest shooting ever!! And the freekish monsters!!! I used an "all weapons" cheat and having that full gatling gun is AWESOME!!!

Oh, I also play Sniper Ghost Warrior a bit, and a friend got sick of Resident Evil 5 and gave it to me, so I just started playing that too....

 

Well on PS3 - Dragon Age & Fallout 3.
On PC - Eve Online & Dawn of War 2.

Well that is if I have time to play, cos of a new baby in the house.

 

On my pc i've been playing gta 4 episodes from liberty city, sims 3
On my laptop i've been playing wolf quest, sims 2
On my xbox360 red dead redemption

 

What a wild game! My granddaughter is still having nightmares about those headless screaming thingys, running around headlessly screaming!

 

On PC: Still Dragon Age. I love that game... Also recently (finally!) started Portal.

On DS Lite: Dragon Quest IV: Chapter of the Chosen

On 360: Hammering away at my Guitar Hero collection.

 

roflmao That's just T O O F U N N Y ! ! ! Every time I describe this game to someone that hasn't heard of it, I think back to the the very first time I played the first Serious Sam... I had it on a PC with a rockin' speaker system, and I can still hear the headless screaming guys with cannonballs for hands screaming from a distance and it scared the :crap out of me! You could hear 'em coming before you could see 'em, and as they got closer, they'd get louder, and louder, and LOUDER, and LOUDER, and LOUDER, and then they were in your face, screaming their headless heads off!!!! Throwing cannonballs at you!!! TOO FREEKIN CRAZY!!!! I love it!! Like I said, I still play SS1 and 2! Too much fun! I still get chills just thinking about that first Serious session.....

(I think I'll play right now, since I'm getting all nostalgic and everything )

(I think my avatar shows the impact the game has had on me LOL )

 

One of my favorite aspects of both Serious Sam games. That and the best graphics for a 20 dollar game.

 

So you're saying it's worth buying then? :innocent

I've been eyeing it for weeks, but I have such a huge backlog as it is...

 

I have finally, several months after the rest of the world, beaten Dragon Age. Take THAT, massive archdemon-thing!

I am now in the process of creating a new character, so I can play through it again... this time as a human wizard.

 

I play wow mostly, but do daddle in steam games from time to time.

 

lol

But yes, i think serious sam's games are worth every penny you pay for them. Theyre cheap, esp since the first one has been out forever, im sure you can get it for 10 bucks or less.

I also like the fact that the game company that put out those games proves you can put out a quality, graphically excellent game and not have to pay 60 bucks for them just because thats what everyone else charges.

 

Recently tried out Metro 2033, not overly impressed, not bad but nothing to write home about , also had a play with Mafia 2 , great game but lacking free roam, while you can roam free, there's nothing to do, but a great game none the less.
Also played Sniper: Ghost Warrior and was majorly let down, I finally thought I was going to get another chance to play a good sniper game (last one was Sniper Elite) and while it is a good game the slo-mo scoping is idiotic, makes everything waaaay too easy.
And recently gone back to Brothers In Arms: Hells Highway.... awesome story, awesome gameplay...awesome game.
Finally tried Kane and Lynch 2, total garbage, nice ideas on the camera shake etc but OTT and the aim system seems random whether you hit or not, not impressed at all.
Still need to finish my world domination on Civ 4 and Empire total War and Mimsy keeps going on about Dragon age so I might just have to pull that one up again :-D

 

Right now, I'm at work on an old XP machine with AOL dial-up, for goodness sake...

So, I'm playin' Hearts - and kickin' its a$$!!

:cry

 

I just unwrapped a big box from Amazon -- my Thermaltake laptop cooling pad! Obviously I have to test it very thoroughly, by playing more Dragon Age. LOL

Also just started Portal. I'm in test chamber 8, or 9... can't remember... the one with the green-brown deadly gunk on the floor. I love intelligent games, and this one is.

 

portal, not bad for a free steam game!

 

Not bad? Portal is one of the most innovative, intelligent and addicting games ever made..... also the computer voice is a little freaky. Loved every minute of that game, unfortunately the replay value is low unless you leave a few months between so you forget how you did it lol

 

yesterday i bought mafia 2 & crysis warehead (both for pc and both great games).:drool

 

That's what mods are for..

 

If i bought mafia 2, should i get mafia, or does it not really matter?

 

Nothing, not playing a thing... plastic sucks. :mad

@blatherbeard... I didn't play the first one so I don't think it matters in terms of story because I understood it fine, but aparently it was a good game so any good game is worth playing ....but do you need it?... I'd say no.

 

The cats want you to know they jointly sacrificed a moth and a large grasshopper for your video card as well

I still think you should be able to play Baldur's Gate on the slow old laptop.

 

There's always solitaire.

<duck>

 

Blissfully ignoring Caliban

I dunno Mimsy, you don't know this laptop, it struggles with Theme Hospital lol

Edit: Yeah just looked up the mim sys requirements and I don't meet the RAM :-D 256 required I only have a working 192, I really mst get round to upgrading this RAM lol

 

Baldur's Gate minimum system requirements:
Windows XP or Windows Vista, 1 GHz Processor (1.4 GHz recommended), 256MB RAM (512 recommended), 3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended), Mouse, Keyboard.

If your laptop really is that bad, I will cry a bit more for you...

EDIT:
Yikes, I just saw your edit about RAM count. Never mind... and good lord that's bad, by the way. RAM isn't exactly expensive these days.

 

I recently left the GameCube in the closet, and ran the latest Dolphin build, 2.0, Vista x64.

It plays the classic Metroid Prime series rather nicely, and I'm looking for a reliable BlueTooth adapter (USB), as Wii controllers are Bluetooth capable, and Dolphin emulates Wii games as well.

Might be interesting to see how the Wii looks and feels emulated with higher grade hardware...

 

I know but every time I could afford it I forget I want it and buy something else lol, or the car breaks down or PC goes wrong :-D
I can run Theme Hospital though and I quite like that game, it's not quite Sims 3 bt it's ok, Ooo and I could replay all the MCF games..... Oh and Monopoly.......dear god...

 

since mafia 1 (the first one) came out about 2002 if you check around the web you should find someone or website selling it (it's worth getting, mafia 1 is such a good game).:drool

 

I m about to start playing Planescape: Torment, as soon as it's done downloading. GOG.com just released it!

 

to Mimsy
What OS are you going to play that on?
Page for it on Amazon says 98,95 and ME platforms.

http://www.amazon.com/Planescape-Torment-Pc/dp/B00002EPZ2

 

64-bit Windows 7. Compatibility with newer operating systems is one of the biggest selling points of GOG.com, one of many reasons I love that place.

TORMENT! :hyper

 

Just bookmarked their games list page.
Saw several there that got my attention.

 

They have some seriously good stuff. They have the Serious Sam games, King's Quest, Syberia, and Baldur's Gate.

 

Torment is one of the best rpg's ive ever played. Me and my son played the hell out of that game.

 

I'm interested in the Combat Chess.
