So far, it's great. I came to this from regular ol'e Battlefield 2, and it's a massive difference. Completely destructible environments (which makes cover freakishly temporary... especially when someone can bring an entire building down on top of you), realistic projectile physics (bullet drop, penetration, etc.), Great improvement from BF2 in terms of feel, response, and graphics... plus, singleplayer has a campaign mode with a story-line and great dialogue.

So far I'm just giving the campaign a run-through, then it's multi-player online.
Anyone else play this?

Timesplitters 2 for the gamecube.

Not as good as the next one, but it is still very fun.

I own that game but have never been able to make it through the first level without getting motion sickness.

I play the first one on PS3 and my little brother plays this a lot on PC. Good games, definitely my go-to online FPS.

I tryied 3 and didn't like the gameplay at all. Maybe I'll try it again soon.

LoathsomePete 06-21-2010 01:30 PM

It's funny I was just thinking about the Roller Coaster Tycoon series a few nights ago. I've only played the first but I enjoyed it immensely, especially the lake setting because of the rides you could get. The elevator style one was always my favourite, build the ride too short and jack up the speed so it goes flying off the ride. Plus if people complained I could just drown them in the lake... yeah I think I spent more time torturing and killing my visitors instead of making the park fun and safe, I'm like a younger John Hammond.

Yeah it definitely takes some getting used to after playing RCT 1 and 2, but if you really give it a chance you'll find it to be an overall better game, especially if you get the expansions.

My friend got me into playing Tennis with him, so after we're done playing real tennis, we relax by playing Mario Tennis. It's great fun

I want a Playstation 3 remake of Final Fantasy IX :(

Zed 06-21-2010 05:37 PM

PACMAN!

It's the only game that runs without errors or emulators on my debian . Prolly not but I'm too lazy to find anything else.

Suppose I'll just go with another old game probably no one knows...

Drakan: Order of the Flame!

that's obviously not really accurate, but visually they definitely modeled the main character after Lara Croft. i think this one suffered for being a little too advanced for its time. it was awesome but most systems had a hard time running it and it was a story based rpg at a time when everyone was losing their minds over brand spanking new tournament style FPS games (Quake3 and the original Unreal Tournament).

It's a fantastic game IMO, but maybe it's because I first played it when I was about 8, it blew my bloody mind.

I do agree with the Lara Croft thing, but I find it's a much better game than the Tomb Raider ones of the time.

I'm really happy that you know the game, for some reason.

it's all good :thumb:

the greatness of the game also has nothing to do with being 8, i was 22 when it came out (and wasting my time in college studying video game design) it WAS awesome. just wiki-ed the series and come to find out a sequel DID come out a couple of years later, but only on PS2.

Hehe, I've been playing it quite a bit today.

Something about the whole story is just amazing, even though it's a bit of a cliche.

nice, i should try to find a copy again, though i don't know if it would support widescreen or if i'd have to manually tweak the resolution and field of view settings in the config or ini files. that's still assuming there aren't overrides hard coded into the main graphic engine to prevent 'breaking' the game.

cliches are a staple of pc games especially fantasy based titles, there's no getting around it hehe. but there's really something to be said about mid-late 90s pc games though - that era was special.

Well, I've been playing it, but I've been having trouble.

First I couldn't even start a game, the Engine would crash. I had to start it up in Developer's Mode and save a game so I could do it normally from then on.

Now whenever the graphics supposedly get demanding, the engine crashes. It's not too often, but it's a complete bloody nuisance.

weird. does it generate any sort of error log? there's no reason a decade old game would demand more than the capabilities of modern systems. then again this game came out at a time when it was relatively common place (and at times necessary) to twist things around a little in order to squeeze out just a little more than was possible from the hardware. some of that twisty code is probably playing havoc with your current setup.

OctaneHugo 06-27-2010 11:29 PM

Playing a lot of SoulSilver recently, trudging my way through the Lake of Rage portion.

Freebase Dali 06-27-2010 11:33 PM

I gotta ask... What's the allure to playing those Sims games?
Just wondering, as I've never played any of them but it just seems boring and stale to me from what I've heard. I don't mean to criticize. I just wonder what it is that keeps people playing Sim games and why.
:)

Guybrush 06-28-2010 05:10 AM

My favourite Sim game is Transport Tycoon Deluxe (kept alive and well today by the OpenTTD project). The playing field is an isometric view landscape with towns and various industries like farms and factories. You make money by taking care of transport and thus supply and demand. For example you build airports and send planes between the cities and make money from travelers or you build an oil tanker to bring oil from an oil rig to a refinery or build a train to bring coal from a mine to a powerplant.

What I like about it a bit hard to say though :p: I think it basically boils down to a little feeling of happiness when I see my trains tooting along, making me money. Building my transport empire is satisfying in itself even if I've bought up all my competitors and technically have complete monopoly.

I guess it's a bit like playing with Lego. You make your own solutions to problems in the game and it's satisfying when they work.

edit :

sims 3 felt like a complete waste of time to me though!

It just says that the Engine found a problem and had to shut down.

I actually can't finish the game right now because it always crashes at this cutscene that I can't skip...

OctaneHugo 06-28-2010 07:59 AM

The only Sims game I ever enjoyed was the original Sim City.

RVCA 06-28-2010 11:36 AM

I never liked any sim game aside from RCT. The Sims an Sim City just never grabbed me

Digimon Racing

It's not a terrible game, but is nothing compared to Crash Team Racing (wish I knew were to find that, for an emulator).

as odd as this sounds. try loading a save just before that cutscene and drop ALL options to minimum, both graphics and audio. i've seen more than a few WTF bugs directly related to sound in the past where the error message offered no indication to the issue. once you're past that scene save again and bump up the settings again.

it's lame but it should get you through.
