Games we are Playing Now!

Sorta it's more single player story driven game that you can group with others The game play is fun and all the missions/storyline are all voiced.

PVP and the end game is broken so a lot of players are re-rolling new characters just to see each story while they wait for Bioware to fix the game.

Got the demo download last week and have played a couple of hours on normal. All you say is right on but it's almost too easy at current setting...I'll give it another shot on hard.

Beat The Witcher Enhanced Edition a couple of nights ago and have the newest version coming this week. After that will be Amalur Reckoning - indeed a great game, and runs perfectly on my system.

 

something about xbox I think

OMG...where can I get one of those?

 

Now that's an old fashioned good ole time!

 

Started The Witcher 2 yesterday. There were some installation problems but now it's running OK. Cool game so far, in some ways better than the original version, in others not as good.

My modded-up seven year old Dell XPS system handles the new "next gen" games fine, albeit at low-medium graphics settings.

 

M$ Flight is out https://microsoftflight.com/en-US/home/ It's free to play "pay for DLC" style. If you have an xbox live account you can get some achievements too

For flight sim fans only

 

I had some leftover gift cards from the holidays, so I bought Mario Party 9 yesterday. It's pretty fun

 

Syndicate

 

I'd say the opposite, I was on the Beta and I think I played it for <5 minutes before I went back to FSX. Typical M$ money grab, let's see you get 2 planes and 1 island and everything else is $$$$. Also there is no 3rd party support, that's what made FSX great, so many fantastic add-ons. There is also a reason they dropped "simulator" from the title, just a game now.

 

Anyone else really into Flight Simulator?[/QUOTE]

The best game ever made for flying planes....wish I could still play it, the computer I have now will run it easily but I havent got around to installing boot camp on it.

 

I see Jane's flight sims are back. Maybe they never left (?). I played them a lot in the mid to late 90s. Anyone play the new one?

 

Yeah I will agree with that. When I made the above comment that was before I really started playing. The game has been made n00b friendly but the guys who made FSX no longer exist. This is made in-house with a new team. For a freebie it's still a decent effort, yes the addon's are on the pricey side but it's currently the flavour of the month with most if not all publishers.

Simulators are still games

MS Flightsim 95 was one of my first PC games. I kept up with the succeeding versions through 2002, then got into RPGs and first-person shooters, which I've mainly played since.

Most fun I had with Flightsim was flying the oldtimers: pre-jet aircraft. I've thought about giving it a revisit with the newest version but don't think my 2005-vintage system will allow for the settings to make it worth it. I'm currently playing The Witcher 2, a 2011-release RPG, and can play only at low graphics settings.

Perhaps it's time to cough up $1.5K or so for a game-dedicated system. My current one does everything else just fine and should be good indefinitely for internet, writing, etc.

 

SSX, picked up yesterday. Pretty fun and a throwback to the SSX Tricky on PS2.

 

I played Snood earlier.

Anyone remember it?

That's what I did, flight sim needs some serious power, even though it's 2-3 years old now. $800 later and I have a really good system that plays it really well.

 

YES!! I was addicted to that for awhile

 

Half what I guessed!

What make/model/specs, or did you have it built?

 

Still beta testing The Simpsons - Tapped Out for the iPad, I wish EA would fix the damn servers & many other bugs I've been reporting.

 

It's crazy to think that game came back around 2000.

I had the sole computer in the dorm with my two roommates. Both of them would play for quite a while at times. lol.

 

Ohh nice, didn't know they offered beta testing for tablet games.



It's EA. They never fix anything

 

Not sure if this vid will work outside of OZ but an interesting discussion about game addiction

I just started playing Assassins Creed Revelations.

 

MW3 "Hardcore Free for All" is what I like to play. Kills over 15,000 and deaths at 6,000. Ratio of 2.21.

Only use the HK MP7, Hardline, Dead silence, Sleight of hand or Quickdraw.

Mostly for death streaks I use UAV, helicopter, and strafe run.

All I have is different classes with the MP7 and I'm at prestige number six, almost all done at free for all hardcore.

Never camp and I hate boosters.
