Forum: General Chat Topic: What else are you playing? ---------------------------------- BECK: In honor of the most successful thread in IoW's history: http://www.iowclan.net/iow/viewtopic.php?t=2984 This thread will be about posting other games you're playing, besides ET.The frequency of updates may not be as quick, but I know that I play a lot of other games on various systems when I'm not fragging it up on ET.

BECK: :arrow: Mario Kart - Wii :arrow: Mario Party 8 - Wii -- both games I can play with the kids ;) Nervous: Since I had never played CoD online, and I had CoD World at War for almost nothing, I loaded it up.Graphics are awesome, the system for levelling up is awesome as well.I didn't realize I should create my own class to take advantage of all the "perks", so I was breaking even going against people at level 4,231 or something, with me not knowing the maps.It might be a little more interesting now, but the shooting SUCKS! I do like that it's more realistic with how many shots it takes, but the spawning at different locations seems random.Overall it has potential, but the hitboxes, firing of the weapons, "smoothness" totally sucks compared to ET.

StEVoNuB420: GH3 for PC Barely got it this week and it has a great selection of music. I especially love the Spanish Rock song it has for the bonus(Heroes Del Silencio-Avalancha) i went to see them back in 95-96 when they had their last full tour.I wish I could remember more than I do,but I was wasted that night and its all a blur now. I have mostly all songs 5 star on easy and medium,but the Hard is to hard right now.My fingers are still to slow to reach the orange and the green. 8( BECK: That's the big challenge with GH!LOL. I move my entire hand when I need oranges, which means you have to adjust all the rest of your fingerings for the other buttons.My bro-in-law just reaches for it.Keep practicing, you'll get it. I've never got more than 3 stars on fricken Heart: Barracuda because I cannot play that damned rhythm without screwing the pooch :(. I almost always play Hard, but I've been working through on GH4 on Expert.It'll tell you one thing - if you're ever having a problem beating a song on one level, play some songs on one level higher, you will get used to the speed and it makes a world of difference.I managed to beat some songs on hard that I kept getting booed off stage for, just by warming up on Expert for a few songs. zupadupa: UT3 died for me since it was all buggy and not finished before it was released.I was a fool and rushed out to buy it when it came out only to find that I didn't like it at all.UT99 was probably the best... mind you I never played the original Unreals...

You may want to check this one out. Its a very high level war game so to say. Managing economy, alliances, and military. Hasdifferent scenarios or free for all. Myself i started with iowa and the states had all broken down to their own rulers. Been playing it for awhile now and havenow taken all of north america, excluding highway - but do have all of canda in exchanged. have unified all of central america, and close to claiming all of south america. All under the great country of IOWA!!!! lol. Soon i shall load up my transports and boat troops overseas to start on africa or europe..... ONWARD TO NORT WORLD DOMINATION!

You crack yours open yet Beck? StEVoNuB420: Command and Conquer- the First Decade anyone else have this game? I keep getting an error code and I have searched for a way to fix it. turns out the game itself is bugged and there are alot of people that have had this problem. I have a couple of fixes that I tried already and they didn't work. Just wondering if anyone went thru this already. BECK: Yes I have, couldn't resist. Though I suck at drums, I have a hard enough time with Medium on them.We only played it one night, we'll get back to it after we beat Band Hero. And oh yeah, it's a great game. But.....be prepared to cough up some major change to buy the albums online - shit, I already bought all the CDs 15 years ago, now I have to fricken buy them again to play in Rock Band? Also - this is my first time playing Rock Band - always been a GH guy. Rock Band is more unforgiving then GH is, I've found.You cannot be early or late on the notes or you miss them in RB. I did calibrate my controllers too, in case you're wondering. StEVoNuB420: I calibrated them and I found that i'm alot better with default on. O's on both settings. Yea the songs are 200 Wii points. the thing with that is some of the songs available arent really compatible with all the instruments. I will get them soon,in the next few weeks but i'll just be geting the ones I really like. allagor: I've been having quite a lot of fun screwing with people in Modern Warfare 2.I'm a beast with the tac insert, I can effectively use it like a force multiplier.I also pick off the enemy snipers from across the map with my iron sights (insult kills ftw).And what's really fun, is to run around with the RPD-extended mags.you usually end up dying before you have to reload it (200 shots, and only takes around 3 to kill someone) downside to the game: repeatedly getting dropped into games on the losing team, with only a few seconds left in the game. no option to mute everyone at once.I hate listening to all the morons & 3 year olds, and I have to mute them one by one. BECK: :arrow: Little Big Planet - PS3 (when kiddies are up) :arrow: GTA:4 - PS3 (when the kiddies sleep) BECK: :arrow: Company of Heroes - Panzer Elite Pak -- PC I had the day off yesterday, played through first 3 Brit missions -- good fun :) Sin: Gosh, I remember that game beck, I had a lot of fun playing it. People were just too good online so I stopped playing. BECK: I have never played it online. I can hardly beat the damn AI (most of the time I get rolled) just playing skirmishes. I know playing online would make me better, but I'm too afraid LOL. I'm much more of a defensive player, so I like to establish an almost self-sufficient defense before I go on the attack, which is usually bad in this type of game. StEVoNuB420: Yea just like C& C Generals. I tried it online and I was getting raped within 5 minutes. It's insane how good some ppl are on those type of things. Sin: In probably ever other type of RTS game online, rushing is the easiest way to win. Generals was a game of rushing. At first, CoH was the same, everbody just rushed, but after awhile, people started defending and kicking peoples ass. Its pretty easy to set up a fast defense in hat game, easier than a fast offense. So by the time I quit, games were a fucking workout, some would be over an hour long, they turned into turtles and it got gay. Most of my losses were to people just waiting me out, I couldn't stand the ceasefire so I would suicide all my guys trying to make a dent. But maybe they fixed all that with the expansion. BECK: Dunno.I will say, if you ever break out the game, be prepared for about 150MB or more of fricken patch downloads - no choice in that matter.It automatically forces you to DL them when you launch the game, probably to keep online matches fair (fixing hax and holes in the code). I would try and be a good defender. A single MG team in the right place can be devastating toinfantry - until a tank comes along and then you're fucked. I guess I just like setting up these "auto defenses" around bridges and things, natural choke-points on the map and just watch wave after wave of AI attack just get annihilated. Impossible to do that against a good human player, they'll find a way to flank your defenses, so you constantly have to be on your toes. Anyway - the SP missions are actually pretty good and fun on their own, I still enjoy playing those. Sin: I have the original game with Opposing fronts, maybe we can play a match sometime. It could be us two vs two AI. BECK: I have the "Gold Edition", not sure what that includes - but I have the Panzer Elite add-on. There's a new one too that I don't have, don't remember what it's called. Team-up....maybe that sounds like a better option LOL.Wonder if we share the same resource pool and command points? Sin: I think the gold edition is the regular game and Opposing fronts. We each would have our own pool and points Im sure. allagor: Fable: The Lost Chapters--PC This game is freaking hilarious to play, especially after you modify it however you want. Sin: :arrow: Final Fantasy XIII- PS3 allagor: Chex Quest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chex_Quest All I have to say is, wtf were the creators on, & where can I get some. BECK: :arrow: Ghost Busters - PS3 Nort: Galactic Civilations 2 - collectors edition for PC allagor: Borderlands - Xbox 360 version (took from my brother, lol) BECK: :arrow: Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing - Wii -- great game btw - if you love Mario Kart Wii, you'll love this - it's a total rip-off :lol:, but since I'm completely bored with MK (I've logged over 250 hours playing it since it came out), its at least fresh. StEVoNuB420: I bought ET QW for 3 (not a typo)dollars last week at Half Pricew Bookstore,and it was brand spanking new. Still had the wrapper around it and everything. The game itsel fi ok. Still have to get used to it though. Its alot of stuff to voer. The vehicles are pretty cool,but then u get the people that run to the vehicles and stay in then for as long as they can. graphics are good,and the controls are basically the same,with some changes to the oice chat. So it's an alright game,but def not a replacement for Wolf ET. Still love the gameplay the original has to offer. BECK: --- speaking of "replacements for ET" -- how is Wolf2 doing for anyone who has it? Sin: BECK wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote")Wolf2Don't mention that game ever again BECK.

BECK: --- that's an aspect of this game, sure.But mostly it's about building a colony, doing production chains and trade. It can be pretty hard to actually reach the highest level of citizens, providing all the stuff they demand to reach higher caste levels.But really, I honestly love loading up ships with goods and sailing them around to other ports just to make money on trading. :thumb Nort: remember the original - ship trading game from dos days...

It's sorta funny - the first game was called "1602", the second "1503" or "Anno 1503", now this one is "Anno 1404", so I'm fricken stoked now.

Venom: Age of Conan : It's been almost 2 years since i've played this game, it just releasing a new expansion and all the good things I've heard about how its come together in those 2 years, I decided to try it again. PvP in this game is amazing. The expansion is supposed to add AA experience like EQ had. The AA lvls add to character development further than just your normal levels. BECK: :arrow: Company of Heroes (with all expansions) - PC Had this game for a few years, played campaigns a bit, but really started getting into MP games recently. My record is a bit scattered, I only play 1v1 right now, and sometimes I roll people, sometimes I get rolled.But it's a really great RTS game if anyone's interested.

I have an interview with a company that makes social games coming up, and I'm a little intimidated, because I have actually never played one. Yea,i know,i know,FB games are a joke. I decided to mess with this game cuz I like the C&C type games where you have to build a base or city and bring it up to power. Which is what this game is,so I said fuck it,lemme give it a try. GL on that interview Miller. BECK: Civ5???????? Civ5?????? Is out???????OMG!!!! Fuzzy Burrito: Looks like Beck won't be playing ET for a while lol BECK: Well, not exactly rollin in the dough right now.Probably won't get it for many months, I just had no clue it was even a concept. Seems like Civ4 just came out, but I guess that's probably been at least 5 years if not more... But I do love me some Civ! MrBlack: Battlefield Bad Company 2 - PC unbelievable game just cant stop playing it online Singularity - PC shit hot game that past most people by this year Mafia II -PC shit hot comes damn close to GTA4 BECK: Yeah, saw some promos for Mafia 2 - looked really good. Dammit - too many good games!!!I need to go on a gaming sabbatical or something :lol: Check into a hotel with really good high speed internet, order delivery food all week long and just play games for 20 hours straight! Yeah!Good times. Sin: If anyone else has Command And Conquer Generals with the zero hour expansion, Me and Monkey are going to try and play some skirmishes with eachother if anyone else is interested. You don't have to own the game, we are going to go through hamachi and make a virtual lan since I lost my discs and had to download the torrent. allagor: Alien Swarm It's a fun game meant for4 players, but I usually just play solo. BECK: :arrow: Wii Party - Wii Surprisingly fun - 50+ minigames, it's a fricken riot to play.Cutsy and family friendly, but it's really actually pretty fun. :arrow: Company of Heroes - PC Of course, my current obsession after the kiddies go to bed ;) :P Venom: Medal of Honor Fallout New Vegas MrBlack: is vegas any good thinking about getting it for pc. medal of honor singleplayers quite cool as well PumpkiN: MINECRAFT!!!!

Sgt. Hobbs: World Of Tanks: PC Wolfenstien ET: PC Return to castle wolfenstien: Xbox (classic) Ski on Neon: Ipod touch DarkJester59: Uh its really not bad on the computer.I think its a little more customizable in game.Where as on the controller its how it is and cant change much.so you can format keys to make your spells and or attacks more available. Venom: Everquest!!!!!! Just went F2P on the 16th!! I've been waiting for this day for years! HalfBak3d: Everquest? I played that like 10 years ago at least :) Venom: Same here! But it's F2P now so thats worth it just to plaay again. I love that game. Best MMORPG hands down Sin: I wonder if my characters are still there? Sadly, everquest didnt age well, so i would never play that again. Sir Sux-A-Lot: Draw Something? :$ miller: @sux:Ew, Zinga games. That cheesy company wanted to buy us, and the "deals" there were talking about would have ended up costing us money overall. Bleh. I need a new RPG to play.I can't do Mass Effect cause the gf is already working her way through from the first one, so I will wait until she's done to start that whole ordeal (even though I already know they ruin the ending in ME3). Sir Sux-A-Lot: miller omgpop the dev was bought by zinga last week, it's kind of stretch to call it a zinga game as of now BECK: Just got Civ V today. Gonna play it all next week :D PumpkiN: just ordered this on friday: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874104218 should be here on tuesday or wednesday.. needless to say, i will be playing a lot more of forza 4 when this baby gets here ! sum1else: Man, the last Forza I have is Forza 2, and it came with my Xbox. My Xbox is one of the 20 GB ones that I got before the Elite version even came out. :smt029 sum1else out. :smt029 PumpkiN: o my. compared to forza 4, forza 2 is like some old nfs game for the ps2.. lol get with the times sum1!!! miller: Sux: I know man, we were in talks to get acquired by Zynga a few months ago. They are bastards.It still counts as their game now :P Venom: Decided to dust off my old Lucas Arts Adventure PC CD ROMS Grim Fandango Full Throttle Monkey Island LeChuck's Revenge BECK: oh yeah, that's old skool8) On a side note- Civ 5 took me a bit getting used to, there are a lot of changes from Civ 4, and I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

It feels like a WWII sniper-splinter cell DarkJester59: OMNOMNOM!!!! Im just going to say early that im playing Diablo 3.Being first one to say that shit izzzz amazing.I was invited to the closed beta, and i play that game about 2 times a week.Cant wait to see the finish product.Specially since i found a flaw 6(^.^)9 in there gameplay and they fixed it muahahaha! Venom: I played the closed beta a couple months ago for about an hour. I figured id just wait til it comes out. I'll be playing it HalfBak3d: I play nothing else.. No time :) Karl Hungus: I was on the verge of buying D3, but it should have been named Diablo Again.about 85% of your actions are simple left click/right click...leaves much to be desired in my opinion.But I guess any time you create a game with the target market of age 6-40 it's bound to be a pretty forgiving game. DarkJester59: Hey you cannot rightfully hate on like a 12 year old game that they wanted to bring back and revamp into a modern game.It has a ton of interest for some of the older gen gamers because that was the World of Warcraft of the day.It also has a lot of new ideas thanks to WoW, and other MMO's.I think the game will be very similar to the old game for authentication but new in ways that if you were to just look at the cover you would only see a new box and graphics.I believe the story line is going to be very interesting and very fufilling as a solo/team play like they used to have it but im not so sure about the end game where youve killed everything your gear is boss, they never had a solution for that in the older game.The PvP aspect of the game looks a little rough/fun but i forsee that as a way to keep interest in the game, and a very short term fix that is.But overall i am really excited to see the whole game i think im going to play it till i passout that night.See how far i can get in one night. Venom: Day of the tentacle PS should probably sticky this thread and listening to thread PumpkiN: then man up and do it venom! you have the POWER! back on topic.. fkin minecraft has sucked me back in.. the xbox version is really nice cuz you can have up to four people play on the same world at the same time with split screen and you dont even need an internet connection :D Venom: I dont have forum mod abilities. allagor: I've been playing through the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. I recently finished Shadow of Chernobyl using the L.U.R.K. mod.Not having a HUD, or the ability to use artifacts made the game significantly more difficult & rewarding. I'm currently playing through Clear Sky with the "Old Good Stalker Mod". There's so much broken google translate english because of this mod:roll: Venom: The Secret of Monkey Island: The Special Edition BECK: You stumble upon an old Lucasarts disk Venom? Sir Sux-A-Lot: I freaking loved Shadow of Chernobyl (stock), no doubt my best SP experience for a FPS. I've had Call of Prypiat installed for months but I just can't find the time to play it (or any other game really) and really get into it :( .2stOWNED: Battlefield Vietnam - PC i have a bunch of other games, but rarely play them. ill randomly throw on other battlefield series games or call of duty games constantly for short spurts. but bfv i play single player even.

Some of it is there but I didn't find the fun part. ET is teh shit BECK: I get'chya.

Sakura: @Beck Sweet I have been playing Spelunky on Steam :) Sir Sux-A-Lot: I got my key for Survarium! I'll get to play tummystix with Allagor (maybe) Venom: 3 way tummystix @ Survarium Sir Sux-A-Lot: circle-tummystix™? V2A2V2A2M: I have my survarium key as well. 4 way.

Sir Sux-A-Lot: cheeki breeki mo'foz Jayd: Mario Kart 64 Super Mario 64 Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World Final Fantasy XII Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Yes, I have gaming ADD. I actually played a lot of Mario Kart 64 online with allagor, V2 and rsn. It was tons of fun, we stayed up till like 4:30a on Saturday night/Sunday morning. P.S. FUCK YOU V2!!!! BECK: Are you playing MK64 on a PC emulator or something? Jayd: Yessir. We're using a fork of Project64 that has Netplay built into it. Winnie: Ok it looks like people are doing console and computer here is mine in a decent order :) PS2GTA( more than one can't remember which but i own 3)Medal of honor Crash Bandicoot (3,5) Ricky Carmichael- Super motorcross Xbox Spyro Halo (1,2) Tony Hawk-american wasteland Homers hit and run Call of Duty Super Nintendo Super mario street fighter Diddy Kong That is all i can think of i know there is moreand sorry im not specific on which version of each game i have :) Jayd: Unless you count the 'Stories' side-games, there's only 3 GTA games for the PS2...so I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that the three games you have are: Grand Theft Auto III Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Also if memory serves, Crash Bandicoot: Warped was for the PS1, not the PS2. Which Super Mario game do you have for the SNES? Super Mario World or Super Mario All-Stars? Or do you have the one that combines them both? What did you think of Donkey Kong Country 2? I never actually got to play that one sadly. Was it good? You like Street Figther?! You're cooler than I thought lol. Now this is an important question, are you a main series fan or an Alpha fan? Which one did you own for the SNES? Street Fighter Alpha 2 or one of the versions of Street Fighter II? Winnie: Ill take your word for it with GTA cause that sounds about right. With crash bandicoot i have the third that goes with the PS1. I can't remeber the exact name i just know for sure it is the 3rd and 5th cause i got them when i broke my arm and had surgery. The orginal is better with donkey kong sadly we lost it so i can't play it :( .Super mario world sounds about right. I believe i own street fighter 2. I cant look at it so i dont know for sure. V2A2V2A2M: I'm running a minecraft server when I'm not in survarium. Survarium is a cpu whore. Slaughtered Jayd in mariokart 64, but thats my game. Bought a UPS, so when I reinstall windows I'll list the other games I can't play right now. Nort: Two Worlds II - though it is a pc whore.

Noone has played vs me in that game in eons... ever since me and a buddy spent an unemployed summer learning how to 'glitch' 90% of the levels in 30 sec or less lol. besides that I had some badass time trail records. Sin: Don't fuck with V2 in Mario Kart 64, trust me. Sakura: I just started to play BioShock and I'm loving it. I've also been playing Fable 3 and Dishonored. Sir Sux-A-Lot: I really wanted to like Dishonored but I stopped after just a few hours. Couldn't really get into it. allagor: Rust-Mac/Windows/Linux You spawn as a naked caveman with a rock, and your flaccid uncut dong feeling the breeze.There are other naked cavemen hiding amongst the trees, rocks, and dilapidated buildings.Some may be friends, you can admire their family jewels & happy trail.Most will likely try to smash your head in with a rock for looking at their unclothed body. Eventually, you find an old pair of pants in a run down irradiated town.Finally, you are decent, and can be seen in public.Now you happily skip down the road showing off those new pants!*BANG* *BANG*..................."Some fgt killed you with a 9mm to the head" Sin: Rust is really fun. Me, allagor, venom and taukima have been playing. Krocsyldiphithic: www.haxball.com this game is fun as shit but im pro so dont get mad when i kick ur ass V2A2V2A2M: My copy of windows is now Ginuwine. Lets play Alien Swarm I'm installing this game again. Its free to play on steam. Top down 4(5 w/ mods) person vs. aliens shooter. Allagor plays this as well. BECK: I've been playing Civ 5 again.Didn't really like it the first time I played it a few years ago, but wanted to play something different so, there ya go... Jayd: With the release of the R9 285 it looks like I'll be getting a video card sooner than expected so you'll probably see me playing quite a number of games once my wrist heals up. Don't worry, ET will still be my main squeeze :P Sir Sux-A-Lot: So are the Rust players here also part of the Penis brothers? LuneKnight: Well Beck mentioned it so i intend to reinstall it soon. Civ 5 who else plays and whats your favorite to play in there! Discuss! Winnie: Ok i have to ask WTF is Civ 5. I feel like i should know what it is but i don't so someone please explain. Sin: Civilization 5 is a grand strategy game winnie. You control a civilization that is just starting out, think the stone age. You progress through the years with this one civilization, your in charge of advancing it. Teaching them new technologies, building more structures for them, churches, schools, barracks. You have to keep your civilization safe, so you have to have an army to fight off the enemies. If you play the game long enough, you'll go from having your villagers throw spears and shooting bows and arrows, to driving tanks and launching ballistic missiles. It takes awhile to get to that point though. And that's even if you stay alive. There are usually 10+ other generals just like you in the game, and that brings up another aspect of the game with politics. You can actually win the game now without fighting people. Its called a cultural victory. I think its a great game. Every new match I start usually is pretty different than the last. Some matches can be really long though, we're talking 20-30 hours long sometimes. So.....play it at your own risk. omfgSP: Sir Sux-A-Lot wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote")So are the Rust players here also part of the Penis brothers? LOL! Oh man - I think I'd need a voice changer to play with those guys. LuneKnight: Im the same way sin, always trying something new. Makes for interesting but sometimes long games. Sakura: I played Five Nights at Freddy's today for the first time and I managed to survive up to day 3 before failing to the coyote. It scares me but I like it :) Jayd: I've been playing Magicka (we need to play this in 4-player co-op! It'll be wizard mayhem!), PixelJunk Shooter, Audiosurf and LIMBO as of late. I've bought 60+ games in the past month. Yeah...getting a bit carried away while I wait for my video card to arrive in the mail.

I'm playing for the cultural win now actually.I'm playing as the French this time (you like that Sir?). Its really addicting, I've even got one of my sons hooked on it now, he wants to play it all the damn time. Here are some screenies winnie: Spoilers:  You start the game with a warrior and a settler.You have to explore and discover the entire planet, find other peoples (AI civs) and discover resources such as metals for mining, food for harvesting or animals you can hunt or domesticate for your own needs. So you build workers to build roads between your cities, build improvements (e.g. a mine to get to that gold reserve), all while researching new technologies to improve your cities and the units you build. You can even build "wonders" in your cities, such as the pyramids of giza (I have the "Great Pyramid of Paris" right now :P). But yeah, its really fun to build a big army and start sacking cities, which I did in my last game playing as the Germans (go figure).But I wanted a different challenge this time, so I'm just trying to get as much culture as I can.Next I'm going to try and do the apollo program and get the tech win. It really is a fantastic game, but you have to be willing to sit down and get sucked into it for hours upon hours.Its really have to quit playing. Nort: Age of Wonders II Sakura: Got back into playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent :) Venom: Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor Alien: Isolation Sir Sux-A-Lot: warcraft 3 (:X) (for nostalgia) Jayd: I'm playing Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor too. Great game! Sin: Same here, awesome game. Sgt. Hobbs: Diablo III MrBlack: Alien Isolation - The Evil Within Both Fuck Yeah Sakura: I have been playing I am Bread and its freaking hilarious! BECK: sucked into Civ: Beyond Earth. :thumb Venom: I heard civ beyond earth acts more like an expansion to civ v more than a standalone game Sir Sux-A-Lot: OlliOlli BECK: I wouldn't call it an expansion necessarily. The mechanics of the game are very similar.The graphics and gameplay are basically the same, so from the respect it could be interpreted that way. But it took me a bit to get used to playing a futuristic based game with entirely new techs, resources and units. There is a learning curve to the basics of the game for even an experienced civ player.But basically the game is the same.You build colonists (settlers), found new outposts (cities), build units, perform research (although it's not a linear loose tree like prior Civs - its an entirely new web-based thing where you can really focus on specific branches, neglecting others). Gold from Civ is now Energy.There is no happiness, it's now health.There is still culture and food.Instead of barbarians, there are aliens which in the early part of the game can be pretty formidable. The upgrade system for units is totally awesome though.You don't have to pay to upgrade, your units just automatically progress as you add new affinity levels. And they are really badass, there are some really really sweet units.Probably one of the coolest things is that there is sort of a loose storyline that goes with the game.You get prompts to make choices all the time that will affect buildings and other things, so you can really specialize on particular attributes depending on your intended victory type.So for example, you get asked if you want to improve production for a certain building and can choose +1 energy or +1 production.Things like that. Also, when your units upgrade, you can pick between two bonuses, like +30% attack or +5 health per turn.Kind of like in regular Civ when you get an XP upgrade, you can pick certain attributes to improve.But this improves all the units, even though already built and deployed. There is still a veternacy system for units based on XP. There is also a better focus on covert ops in this game.You can assign them to cities much easier and quickly than you could with the old civ games, and have them do missions to steal science or energy, or at certain levels even sabotage and force coups and stuff. Nort: Currently I have been spending a lot of time on Majesty 2 and its add on expansions. I have a few missions to complete in kingdom of ardania and then i can work on the monsters expansion. Following that i have several other games stocked up. I bought a lot on the steam sale as my 2015 goals are to pay down some bills, which means staying home more so i spend less Sakura: I've been playing Metro 2033 on the 360 and I just installed Shadow Warrior on Steam. Both are awesome games :D Venom: Been playing Farcry 4 and Hearthstone. LuneKnight: WoW, Hearthstone, mostly Jayd: Venom wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote")I heard civ beyond earth acts more like an expansion to civ v more than a standalone game It's a solid game, it's just not as compelling to some people as the other Civs because it doesn't have to cool 'based on history' aspect to it.

If any of you have ever been a fan of the city building sims in the past, GET THIS GAME. This is the best city building sim I've ever played. I've been playing the piss out of it every chance i get since it came out a few days ago. It's the first game in a great long while that I have had to forcefully stop myself from playing because I needed to do other things. It's just perfect. Brings back the good old days of the first few Simcitys. And one of the great things about this game, is that its cheap. It released only a few days for the price of 29.99. It's everything that the newer Simcity 2013 should of been, but the shit the bed on. Here's a trailer for the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVhYSyVbGBs BECK: Damn.Gotta stay at my desk for a few minutes to wait for my boner to go away.I'll be checking this out for sure. EDIT: Watching a YouTube - this is STRIKINGLY similar to the new Sim City. Almost an exact copy so far.... Venom: BECK wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote") Gotta stay at my desk for a few minutes to wait for my boner to go away. BECK @ Work Sin: They took all of the good things from the new SimCity for sure, the game is absolutely amazing if you are even remotely interested in the genre, trust me. And its not super easy like SimCity was. Your first few cities will suck, hard. It's incredibly fun to envision a city before you even start building it, and then actually be able to build what you imagined. Unlike SimCity, where you get a tiny little plot of land to make a city on. The game is just what everyone who was disappointed by SimCity were waiting for. Just something about working on your traffic flow for 3 hours straight, and then finally getting it right, looking how you wanted it to all along, its just awesome. BECK: yeah I've loved sim city since the 90's, and even liked the new one for the most part. Does it have production chains like SC does? I kinda liked that aspect of SC where you have to build up alloys and rubber and shit like that to get themost advanced buildings. I'd hvae entire cities that were just mining cities cranking out a shit ton of trade, that's kinda how I always liked to play sc Sin: Yes, it does. You can have specialized districts within your city for that very thing. Heres a reddit thread where people are discussing it. Along with a picture thats linked at the top. http://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/2yxfez/the_production_chain_in_cities_skylines/ EDIT: Heres something you couldnt do in the newest SimCity: http://imgur.com/a/qcJgE Jayd: Sin wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote")I've been playing Cities: Skylines.

It's pretty nostalgic escorting a tank through an abandoned town again :D. I've been playing with Raider and some of his "friends". Lots of guys from the old Deathtouch guys. Its pretty humbling playing an FPS against some of those guys, but I learn alot faster getting raped by them than I do raping noobs on some random server. Sir Sux-A-Lot: I found DB much improved last week end when I tried it. You can see some of the maps are translations of ET maps too, which is cool. Clanless: Im playing some world of tanks, lately. Does IOW have a world of tanks clan? I texted NORT just a few minutes ago, but he might have changed his number cause its been years since, Dr Evil and I played with you guys. BECK: I remember you, sure.We still play ET, mostly on weekends but games can usually be found most nights.You should re-install and stop by :) IoW is only ET. Clanless: BECK wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote") I remember you, sure.We still play ET, mostly on weekends but games can usually be found most nights.You should re-install and stop by :) IoW is only ET. K, Ill let Dr Evil know too. allagor: Halo Online.Meant to be a F2P russian halo beta.An early build was leaked, & now it's been modified to a point where you can play custom matches. Lots of fun, not hard to install, questionable legality/free. ontheqt: T'm trying add BF4 into my gaming mix. Still working out the control settings. Jayd: Why in God's name would you play an FPS with a controller? O_O Venom: QT What is your origin name. We can touch eachother's penises. I Just got GTAV for PC. Man its so nice, and first person play is awesome. Stabbing people on the street seems pretty real lol. BECK: So how is GTAV on PC that much better than PS3, for example?I guess graphics probably better, but what else?First-person play? ontheqt: Venom wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote")QT What is your origin name.

Yeah First person mode and way better graphics. Also WAY faster loading times if you put the game on an SSD. Also mod support of course. GTA games always get modded like crazy. Plus there's that new make a movie feature or whatever it's called. Some people have put up some pretty awesome fan movies already. Did the console version get updated to include that? My Origin ID is karasuhebi. I mostly play Titanfall but I'd be down for some BF4. allagor: Winnie The Pooh's Home Run Derby Spoilers:  BECK: i can't believe I just played that. http://www.flashrelax.com/play-Winnie-The-Pooh-s-Home-Run-Derby.html music was horrible though Jayd: hahahahhaha!!!!!!!!! HalfBak3d: Poo derby sucks.. This one isn't bad for a freebie http://tinyurl.com/la4z25z Jayd: lol wtf Nort: I been playing orcs must die 2 and dominions 4 Sakura: Lately I've been playing the Half Life 2 Update and Outlast again. I'll be around ;) Venom: Bioshock Infinite ontheqt: :dart: http://www.fam-jansen.com/Games/bouterdart.html Jayd: I've been playing with my dick a lot lately.

For some reason it just feels like an itch that needs scratching. gatorhead: Urban Terror - free to play shooter, mainly TDM, CTF, LMS Originally was a Q3 mod, but now available standalone with updated engine (ioquake3) similar to etlegacy. Used to play it alot prior to RTCW and ET www.urbanterror.info NOITOM: ESO a pretty fun game.If anyone's ever up for some Xbox sex MoTionzzzzz is the GT.Been playing Bf1 and fortnite mainly. Sir Sux-A-Lot: With Dirty Bomb dying a slow death I've been looking for other games so I got R6 Siege last week and I'm not sure how much time I'm willing to invest because of the low TTK. I think some of you also have that game so if you still play it, feel free to hit me up I also grabbed Destiny 2 since it is/was free but it's already boring after the first few hours I'm proud I haven't launched Fortnite in like 6 weeks Sakura: Alien Isolation, Broforce, Metro Last Light Redux and soon GTA V :) Sir Sux-A-Lot: I did enjoy both Metro Redux games especially at a time when I was craving more Stalker game (Stalker 2, where are you) The 3rd Metro game should be out next year. Sakura: Sir Sux-A-Lot wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote") I did enjoy both Metro Redux games especially at a time when I was craving more Stalker game (Stalker 2, where are you) The 3rd Metro game should be out next year. Yep Metro Exodus comes out in February of next year.

That game is a lot of fun. Coming from DB and ET you have to change your playstyle though, but it's quite rewarding if you stick to it. It takes ultra focus and patience, every single movement you make in the game leaves a sound for the enemy to hear. Yeah it has low TTK but it's more of a cat and mouse fight than a straight up gunfight, so the fights sometimes take awhile. BECK: I'm in a gaming rut. I have a modest PC so I'm not down for most newer games. I mostly play SW Battlefront 2 on PS4 when I'm not on PC. I keep pulling out old games trying to get an interest in them again but get bored quickly. BTW - For PS4: https://xim.tech/ + G502 8) Sir Sux-A-Lot: Man you must be pwning with the kb & mouse! Is SWBF2 cross platform? BECK: It's not cross platform. And actually, I don't feel that I play as well as I expected I would.But it makes it easier for me because I suck with the controller. I guess I'm marginally better on kb+mouse.The worst is that I try and do BF2 shit in ET :lol: But there is a weapon in BF2 called 'Barrage' that is basically the Riflenade, has the exact same feel and physics, so I pretty much own with that.And no one uses it.

And I think Obi Wan just came out too. gatorhead: Not really a game but kinda. Rocksmith. Got a cheap elec guitar for Christmas bout 5yrs ago and its been sitting collecting dust. I have renewed interest as my daughter (6yo) has been taking piano lessons. Been shaving some hours off my ET time to try to learn. Sir Sux-A-Lot: I also signed up my 6yo for piano lessons this year :) Sakura: I just picked up Subnautica so I'm going to be playing around with that :D gatorhead: Re-post: Looks like Who has jumped on this, so I thought I would share again. Fun and free shooter, was originally a Q3 mod but now stand-alone. Updated game engine, most console commands, bindings and .scripting the same as ET. Urban Terror - free to play shooter, mainly TDM, CTF, LMS Originally was a Q3 mod, but now available standalone with updated engine (ioquake3) similar to etlegacy. Used to play it alot prior to RTCW and ET www.urbanterror.info BECK: Battlefield V on PS4 sum1else: I'm currently playing through all of the Kingdom Hearts games in preparation for Kingdom Hearts 3. Sakura: I recently downloaded to try the 1 shot demo of the remake of Resident Evil 2 to try. Venom: Resident Evil 2 remake and Battlefield V MrBlack: Apex legends and The Division Sir Sux-A-Lot: CS:GO :x I've read good things about Ring of Elysium and Apex Legends and I might try one or the other or both MrBlack: try Apex its quite fresh for a BR game Sakura: In two weeks I will be picking up Metro Exodus for my Xbox One S. We shall see what that is like. Venom: Sakura wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote")In two weeks I will be picking up Metro Exodus for my Xbox One S.

I wonder if the bigger cut to developers from the Epic Store will make up for the drop in sales (because I'm sure there will be one) unless Epic is also forking out $$ since it's a marketing operation to drag people to their platform. Apex has been a lot of fun so far. I like it! HalfBak3d: Apex looks like fortnite for adults NOITOM: Apex is cool.Longer time to kill makes it more skillful (at least it feels that way on Xbox,) and selecting a "class" is different and welcome.Other then that, mainly Black Ops 4 cause that's all my friends will play.Yea, that's right mofos 5th prestige. Sakura: Haha @Motion. I installed and starting to play Metro Exodus on my Xbox One S. I am definitely loving it and it was so worth the wait! sum1else: Kingdom Hearts 3 LiQuId: Anthem HalfBak3d: LiQuId wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote")Anthem I play Anthem too, but the drop rate for master works is shit considering you have to actually get MWs with good rolls to do Grand Master 2. Plus there is not enough content.. It was released way to early.. I'm sick of playing games that are not actually good until a year after release. Sin: Stop buying that garbage at release then. You're part of the problem Jayd: Sin wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote")Stop buying that garbage at release then. You're part of the problem Facts. #VoteWithYourWallet Anto*: League of legends and Civ 6. I managed to defeat King in a 1 v 1 but I'm struggling to defeat 4 of them. Whenever I'm close to either culture victory or science they get it first because of the bonus, and when I take down 1 to take their science and continue with the rest they're ahead me and can't defeat them. #Sad HalfBak3d: Sin wrote (View Post): › docWrite("quote")Stop buying that garbage at release then. You're part of the problem I agree.. I'm done buying games that are released 12 months too soon Sakura: I downloaded the game called Deceit on Steam. It is a free to play and I'm going to see if we can get a few people to play something different. Deceit on Steam miller: I'm trying to play Apex but I literally haven't gotten a kill yet and its been like 5 hours
