Once again I spent a great amount of time playing Dawn of Discovery. I finished the campaign, which was quite enjoyable, and now I have moved on to the scenarios. These are challenging, and take some time to complete, but it’s well worth the time spent.
I had to squeeze in some time with East India Company. This is a complex and challenging game, but very rewarding once you get the hang of it. The visuals are simply beautiful, and puts you right into the ship as if you are a real captain yourself.
So that was most of my gaming weekend. What did you play?
King of Fighters XII.
I know oddball answer, but it's good if you like serious competitive fighters. Awful otherwise.
Demigod, GC2, and a personal favorite...Ace Combat 5: Unsung War.
Man, that's a great game.
Guess what, I played Etherlords 2 on my Win98 partition. Shitty Star Force doesn't bother me on that OS.
Played Aion mostly, didn't go crazy as I never do with MMO betas but played it enough to realise preordering it was a very good idea, eagerly anticipating it's release now. Also been watching the Korean 3v3 tournament videos which looks pretty awesome, I just can't commit to a class in my head yet
Also I played a little of Majesty Gold and one game of Blood Bowl for the league I'm in. Given up on Blood Bowl public play, it's totally rife with disconnect cheating.
Seriously Kitkun?!
I played (and lost) a monarch level Fall from heaven 2 game, with the clown king. It seems the advanced ecconomic AI mod makes really works, that and I've never played as the Balsphera (sp?) before.
I also played the Demigod demo and was so impressed by it I ordered myself a copy from amazon. Which is about £6 cheaper than it is on impulse.
I also played TF2 and got my best yet score with the spy. 97/62 on a 24/7 2 forts server. There is nothing more amusing then backstabbing 5 people in one go!
Finally got around to playing The Last Remnant which I've bought ever since it's been out on PC, but never managed to get around to it until now. Such a great and addictive game. If you're a fan of JRPGs, then this is a must buy, especially since they're relatively scarce on the PC.If you tried it on the X360, but got put off by the technical difficulties, then you owe it to yourself to give it another try on PC since all those problems are gone, and it shows they put an effort into porting (tons of settings to change, keyboard and mouse support, etc...).I've played all the Final Fantasy games since FF9, and honestly, so far the game just delivers as much. It has so many improvements over the already improved FF12 (that people kind of shunned for straying from the tired old FF formula), with a completely different combat system.And of course, as with most SE games, I'm going to have to mention the game's soundtrack. One word; AMAZING.
Anyway, game's great and addictive (don't listen to the haters), and I'm going to play it some more right now. If you want a sort of an accurate review, go ahead and read Gamespot's (the PC version). They got it right for once.
Here's hoping for a FF13 PC port down the line (pretty please SE?).
Very true, i wonder if my PS 2 still works? Here in europe it's called "Squadron Leader", BTW
I was playing Oblivion, the only problem with that game is that it highlights everything that is wrong with Fallout 3.
Hrm, Oblivion is something I have to finish sometime too... Shortly after I ran the first two errants for the Morag Tong I lacked the time and later the motivation to...
There are demos available for both. I prefer Dawn of Discovery, but that's purely a personal choice as I have been a big fan of the entire series.
Only things I could squeeze in this weekend were some GalCiv2 and Diablo2.
Wait, there are Morag Tong in Oblivion?
Nothing, lately... too busy with trying to pull out alive of another HUGE job-loss from May; struck by financial drain, bothered by the neighborhood, cancelling any personal projects, watching the bad news on TeeVee, calculating & evaluating the slow depleting effects on some savings, gradually plunging in unemployment hell. Dream or hope, here's the situation; crooks are simply "winning" the wealth games.
I'm in no mood for even a silly minesweeper gimmick graciously given by a Vista install last summer.
You could say, i now have to mod my life towards chronic poverty.
That ought to teach me... for purchasing a worthy education or gaining useless experience at work.
I can only conclude enforced retirement from reasonable success **ALREADY** occured near 41 (on September 13th -- a friday in 1996, btw) and i'll be 53 soon.
Yup, gaming is fun - when it's needed or deserved.
Do you know any good & honest lawyers? Who won't try to screw me down even further?
I hear complaining doesn't help... but those who tell it, drive cars and would pick a 5$ right out of my wallet.
Besides, everyone understands market marbles are being dumped on roulette tables -- so that, when the current recession conditions are over, accumulated fortunes will keep on stealing the *now extremely* vast majority of the workforce.
Consume or die.
But play.
Dawn of Discovery.
Just can't get enough of that game.
Runes of Magic. Will be mixed with Champions Online quite soon...
Mount & Blade consumed the majority of my time. Maybe close to 20hrs of time in game.
SINS was next on the list. Maybe 6 hrs of game time. Wifey and I wiped out 8 AIs. She learned the usefulness of starbases and flak.
Played about 45min of Counter Strike as a time kill.
I tried the Demigod demo once and was disappointed in how much trouble my computer had running it and uninstalled the game after about 10 minutes.
Im waiting for the update for GalCiv 2 so I can play it on win7....
So COD4, Halo 3 aka (Cock of duty 4 and Gaylo 3 and yet I still play it... god damn it) NEOTOKYO which is like one of the best shooter mods I have ever played... and NOT MANY know about it...
LOL I went to my friends house and did a lan party for Age of Empires 2 and that was fun! Rise of Nations, Starcraft Brood Wars...
I just bought a crap load of game off Impulse and Steam... need to great around to all of them... but it just never happens...
Still working with Win7 just need to place a few more things on it and IM GOOD TO GO! and Thank god lots of my old games still work...
I checked out the demigod demo.
then I continued on my big civ4 game. should check how many hours I spent on it, a whole bunch I suppose.
derelict mod for fs2. I dled the sins freespace mod and it somehow urged me to get my fs 2 copy and play some of those wonderful campaigns out there.
sins? not sure. I did start a map, but I think that was before the weekend.
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. Love it. One of the funniest shooters you'll ever play.
WAIT THIS JUST IN KYRO FTW! I can play Gal Civ 2 now WOOT!
Oops, mixed that up. It's the Dark Brotherhood, of course... See? It's too long I haven't played it...
No, wait! Did I say that first part aloud?! *looksaroundanxiously*
I'd also play Galciv2 some more, but my newer rig's mainboard died, and I'm waiting for replacement.
Luckily my old one is still working and strong enough to handle most games I like to play.
I play this also, it's awesome, feels like a classy evolution of Counter Strike. It deffinately deserves ladder play, shame so few people know about it. Even when I told friends they weren't interested enough to install it and I know they would love it, I don't get it.
I worked over the weekend, so I'm not entirely sure what all went on. But I can speak for these:
Clutch
Crackdown
Spectromancer
The Sims 3
LOTRO
and probably some Pangya in there somewhere
played a lot of X3 Terran Conflict this past weekend. Also tried to finish one of my ongoing Galciv2 game.
Played Bloodbowl, Mount'n Blade (Awesome awesome game, esepcially with the mods) and Warhammer Online - still a fun game, especially in the early tiers
Hehe, quite interesting how many people here play Bloodbowl... I used to play the tabletop version during my time at the university.
