Descent 2
NFS Most Wanted
DX Invisible War
4: Scorched Earth :nervous:
:yes:
-
1: Warzone 2100
Addictive isn't it ;) I blame the Tech tree, it's the only game outside of GalCiv or the like I've ever played where you can continue the game for Hours and still not run out of things to research.

Hey, is Farenheit any good? Been wondering about getting it for a while.
Yes but make sure it is Fahrenheit and not the US version Indigo Prophecy (as the US version is heavily censored from what I'm told).
-
What exactly do they censor? The demo looked relatively tame.
-
3-Rumble Roses XX
What's the "physics" like on this game?
-
Some sexual content. I dunno about the gore, but trust me the actual game gets worse than the demo in terms of frights.
-
Some sexual content.
Oooh, i'll be sure to pick it up tomorrow. :nervous:
-
3-Rumble Roses XX

Well i looked for an Age setting DOA style (I am 99 i swear) but RRXX handles well, The custom character editor enables you to enhance "attributes" and when my 13 year old bro stays, he crosses his legs when the characters grapple, The noises and grunts aren't bad either *nudge wink* "You know what i mean lol"
-
Some sexual content. I dunno about the gore, but trust me the actual game gets worse than the demo in terms of frights.
The actual game is only good for the first half. Then it gets downright terrible with a really, really bad plot device.
-
1: Warzone 2100
Addictive isn't it ;) I blame the Tech tree, it's the only game outside of GalCiv or the like I've ever played where you can continue the game for Hours and still not run out of things to research.
The only other strategy game I've played previously was a little game called Enemy Nations, which in some ways rocked and in some ways completely sucked, then I found Warzone, which rocks all the way, I've played multiplayer games where I'm in the game continues for three hours, and there is always stuff to research.
-
One of my old Fave RTS's was metal fatigue, The BOts were cool and the three tierd maps were so original at the time.

You mean that Secret of Mana?Do you like RPGs?
-

Surely not as bad as a full-up hentai game, though...

Metal Fatigue. :yes: :yes:

Wait a minute, it's not?
Aaaaaaah, to hell with that, then.
You mean that Secret of Mana?Do you like RPGs?
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Secret of Mana was one of the best games on SNES, and remains one of the greatest RPGs all time you git. Spit that name with contempt again and I will be forced to deal with you further, sir.
-
Hmmmmmm..... I'm stuck becaue I don't think there have been 5 recent games that are much good....
Let's go with this:
1. Freespace Open
2. Halo
3. Metroid Prime Hunters
4. Advance Wars Dual Strike
5. Sigma Star Saga
Can't believe no one's mentioned Advance Wars yet. Turn-Based Strategy YYAAAYY! :yes:
-
Turn-based strategy FTL!
-
These might not be too recent but...
1. FreeSpace Open
2. Civilization 4
3. Civilization 3 Conquests
4. I-War 2
5. Baldur's Gate 2 & ToB
-

I wouldn't say so. It just skips over two weeks of plot, since they had initially planned an episodic release style. You still know whats going on, you still can enjoy the game.

SECRET OF MANA Rules Snes, Evermore = pants, Chronotrigger = 2nd best....

Games Played:
Secret of Mana
I LOVE Secret of Mana. The german translation is really bad though. ;(
Well, I've probably played it like 20-30 times. The next turn will be with the english version.
BTW, did you know there is a SoM Mod for HL2 in the works?
It turned out to be not 100% connected to SoM, but will be similar in many ways. I've agreed to join the modding team as soon as SoL is complete.
Edit: Linky

I can't wait for the World of Mana game series!
-
I always wanted to play the Ultima series but never got round to it. I had Champions of Krynn though. One of SSI's Dragonlance series and that was quite good. I used to enjoy typing random characters to the inventory section of the game save files to give myself bizarre magic items. I once got a +6 Adamant Dagger Awl Mace. The +6 presumably comes from the baffling effect on opponents when they see it.
-
Terminal Velocity
Me too .:D I finished it again.
Also-
The Feeble Files
Half-Life 2
Devil May Cry 2
Wolfenstien 3D (A leapord doesn't change her spots, not even in 15 years)
-
Terminal Velocity
I've still got that installed on my gaming comp somewhere. I really need to play it again.
Wolfenstien 3D (A leapord doesn't change her spots, not even in 15 years)
That was possibly the first PC game I ever played. Then again, I was nine at the time, and I hadn't got the first Freespace yet.
-
1. Guild Wars - /age ....... You have been playing 106 hours over the past 21 days. :D
2. Dawn of War
3. Counter Strike Source
4. erm...
5. erm... sry but MMO and 2 kickass games keep me busy!
-
You mean that Secret of Mana?Do you like RPGs?
Yep, I mean that Secret of Mana :D
Playing (ok, did play, finished off the mana beast yesterday) the english version.
The german translation, as DaBrain said, sucks. Always laughing about those childish spell names. Hmm, a SoM Mod for HL2? Sounds interesting :)
-
BloodRayne2
BloodRayne1
F.E.A.R.
FS2
Homewolrd 2. i think at least.
currently, i prefer bloodrayne above each and every one of the others.
-
Yay Bloodrayne :lust: If i was gonna get killed by anyone, I woul like it to be her............ :nod: ;7 :nod:
-
I've been on somewhat of a DosBox craze the last couple of weeks (as I haven't had the free time I'd want for a modern game like Oblivion for over a month now), so my top 5 recent games looks something like this, in no particular order:
Master of Magic
Star Command
Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday
Privateer
Ultima 6: The False Prophet
And also got in a playthrough of Full Throttle recently. Man, that is still one sweet game.
-
Privateer
:) ;) :D :) ;) :D
*Hugs everyone*
-
*gets retraining order against CD*
-
I have not played any recent games lately due to the lack of good rpg (Gothic 3 :) or racing sim games, so my top 5 look like this
Wing Commander 4
F1 Challenge '99-02 CTDP 2004 Mod applied
Grand Prix 4 2005 Mod applied
Sam & Max
Wing Commander Saga :)
-

Yep. Shame about it being so short and having the worst soundtrack in a Lucasarts game ever.
-
Cho Ren Sha
Call of Cthulhu
Dreamfall
Shadow of the Colossus
Something I can't remember
Dreamfall depresses me. It failed as a sequel in nearly every possible way.
-
Hmm, here's the games I've played most recently, in no particular order:
1: Super Smash Brothers Melee (It's nice having buddies who never get tired of playing this.)
2: Kingdom Hearts 1 (Never played it before, so borrowed from a friend.)
3: Descent 2 (Multiplayer fun!)
4: Freespace Open (Voice Acted Derelict FTW!)
Oh god, I feel sick all of a sudden. I really shouldn't be playing KH until 5am...
-
Cho Ren Sha
Call of Cthulhu
Dreamfall
Shadow of the Colossus

Dreamfall depresses me. It failed as a sequel in nearly every possible way.
it definitely could've gotten by without the 'fighting' in it, it was -really- unneccessary
-
On a paralell not, my fave 5 old school games (pre secondary school)
I started secondary (high school for the yanks i guess?) in 1993
Asteroids on Atari 7800
Contra III
Sonic 2 on mega drive
Megaman nes series
Zelda - Link to the past.
-
Call of Cthulhu
Any how many times did you die doing the hotel escape? :eek:
-
Four or five times, at least. It's a brilliant sequence.
I really should get around to finishing it. I kind of lost interest once Jack finally gets his hands on a weapon -- the game seems to lose something when you're no longer completely defenseless.
-

Wait a minute, it's not?
Aaaaaaah, to hell with that, then.
:nervous:
Try running a search on your p2p program of choice for Three Sister's Story, Paradise Heights 2, Runaway City, True Love (and savegames if you can find them, damn game is a killer)...Sentimental Shooting's fun too. Kinda a Galaga/Raiden gone porno thing. Tough to beat unless you figure out which key's the scrollstop. Don't ask me, I've long since forgotten. There's at least a couple of Sailor Moon hentai Solitare decks floating around out there too.
Some of those might not run under WinXP. Runaway City you'll need DOSBox for, Sentimental Shooting remember to turn frameskip on or it locks up. True Love and Paradise Heights 2 work, or at least I think they work. Three Sister's Story you'll need to dig up an install of Win95, 2000, or Millenium for. You can safely assume anything else you encounter out there on teh intarwebs either isn't translated (like the Viper series) or needs DOSbox/non-XP Windows.
Nothing to see here, folks, move along... :nervous:
/me ducks out of the folder on his desktop marked "Jim's Old-As-Hell Games".

This is why I havn't bought it yet. Longest Journey is awesome. :(
-
Personally, I think its biggest disappointment isn't its painful gameplay, but in fact the story. It's not that it's bad as such, certainly not as far as games go, but it is so poorly narrated compared to TLJ's that the 'main' plot, by the end, seems hardly relevant at all and the emotional impact it's meant to have is all but destroyed. When you get right down to it, it seems that only the very beginning and very end are actually important and everything between it is just a vague side-story. I'm also quite frustrated with Ragnar Tørnquist for turning a potentially awesome (if obvious) character arc into one of the clumsiest moments in the entire game.
It does have its moments, though. It's just very disappointing.
-
They should have got you to write it Ransom.
-
Maybe not top 5, but the only 5 that I have played recently.
MUGEN
Freespace 2 SCP
Fable (PC)
X-Men 2 (PC)
Solitiare
-
Full Throttle... <3 <3 <3
-
the worst soundtrack in a Lucasarts game ever.
Possibly... but some of the best voiceacting of them all. Roy Conrad was awesome as Ben, making even the most silly line ooze coolness, and I challenge anyone to have recognized Mark Hamill as Ripburger before reading the credits ;) And of course, it had a charging horde of mechanized rabbits with ride of the valkyries playing, which is instant win.
Definitely too short though. Way too short. Good things always are...
-
How about the Ace Combat series?
had a feeling you were an AC fan
1. GTA: SA
2. God of War
3. NCAA Football 07
4. EvE
5. Ace Combat 5
-
You need to play Ace Combat Zero. The storyline is a little cliche'd (especially near the end) but it's fun as hell.
-
got it the day it came out, AC5 is better(longer, better story/characters)
-
you have a point, i agree. AC0 is still fun though. :p
-
you have a point, i agree. AC0 is still fun though. :p
oh yeah definently, that whole series kicks ass, AC5 is just my fav :)
-
Having such a hard time getting the FALKEN unlocked, though. I just need to beat Four Horsemen but the game WILL NOT let me destroy the radar stations the way I'm supposed to. :hopping:
-
hah yeh thats a tricky one, you just got time it right
i always just haul ass until im right outside of missle range then basically stall out the rest of the way until they say to go in
-
haha, the problem is though that i did it perfectly the first time i played it.
