Games we are Playing Now!

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.

 

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.

 

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?

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.

 

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.

 

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.
