Games!

Any gamers here?

I'm a big late night PC gaming junkie, mainly FPS's but will give anything a go. Also love a good adventure game, (ala Sam and Max) but they seem to be few and far between nowadays.

Recently finished Halo and Max Payne 2. Nice games, really enjoyed both. Halo with all graphics options turned up has some major eye candy, even my 9800 pro was struggling in some parts. Max Payne was good, gotta love matrix style fighting, was a tad short though.

Favourite all time favourite game would probably be Deus Ex.

Keen as beans for the release of Deus Ex 2.

*raises hand*

going through a big 1942 special weapons and desert combat phase at the moment...

played a fair bit of freelancer too which got boring after 32hrs (no,not continuous)

I love 1942, played a bit of special weapons but as I don't have BB at home I can't play online so it gets fairly boring playing against the wak bots.

i dont have BB at home either :o(... i play with about 7 other people co-op which is better than nothing i spose...

I recently finished Enter The Matrix on PC
Pretty fucking awesome game i reckon.
Focus mode is sensational...love dodging those bullets!
Unfortunately the end of the game sucked arse

I recently finished Wolfenstein as well...enjoyed it alot

on the topic of PC Games.....i want more..
who wants to give me some!

Yeah I played throught the matrix game, it was a nice buzz seeing the movie today and noticing bits of plot that you only saw developed in the game!

I've got a gamecube, just thinking about getting gladius which sounds like exactly the kind of game I like, tactical combat with roleplaying bits and lots of options to upgrade equipment and stuff, anyone played it?

The new mario kart is out next week too!!!

Sakvee ... is there a new sam & max out ? I only remember one and that was from like early nineties ...
Only game I only ever really played was the Sims and I must have gotten a dodgy version because every person ended up being gay ... :/

Nah, pretty old game eh! was the mutts nutts though.

Definately I found Leisuresuit Larry 7 on a cd sumwhere the other day ... doesn't run on my pc though, has a sook about the sound card.
Did anyone ever play the Hugo series ? or " Granny's Garden " and " Raft Away River " in primary skool ?

Sakvee, go for splinter cell or ghost recon. Mad games..

spadeg enter the matrix was too easy and thats coming from someone who doesnt play on x box at all and finished it in about 2 short seesions at a mates house.

my old housie told me splinter cell is crazy, but a game you have to get into!

I've got Splinter Cell, never bothered to play it. Might install it and give it a whirl.

(We should have a Techo - games, computers bla bla bit in these forums!)

anyway! I'm not a huge gamer, but I do like to play the odd game now and then. And usually i play them over a looooong period of time

But recently, I've been stuck with Medal of Honour and the second version of it. Everytime i get close to finishing it, *something* happens and i have to restart again.

I've been hearing that Call of Duty (?) is apparently uber good. But haven't seen much of it yet.


Do y'all lan much?

i agree i thought enter the matrix was too easy
the end was incredibly easy which was well wak!

so who wants to burn me some games?
heh

LEMMINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

am curently playing the game now :P

finished max payne, munches odeysey and all of the grand theft auto's also played this awesome ps2 game at my mates where the aim of the gme is to crash into cars, and to pass the level you gotta do the best crash... cant member what it is called >.<

Burnout/Burnout 2.

yeah i just finished Max Payne 2 two weeks ago. was very impressive.. pity it was so short. loved the first one too..

kinda bored with everything else thats out atm.. a lot of games that are still in the works that im waiting for though.

Been to a few Valhalla's over winter, doubt i'll be back till next winter though. Too much shit on over summer.

That's a fucking top avatar Mustafa!

i downloaded American McGee's Alice, top game... i never was much of a gamer though - my dilema is that i downloaded a version without the super cool intro & outro, and i wanna see em so badly.. ho hum

Commander Keen and Word Rescue anyone?

Why does a girl named Ellie, have an obsession with the name Alice?

Nothing like playing the PC while you're sketchy I reckon.

Sakvee already knows how |337 i am at gaming since i pants him at St Clare Lans, SA World Cyber Game finalist, free trip to syd, and runner up to go to korea a couple of years ago in syd, two of the guys i beat and used to beat now get payed to play and live in korea.. sigh

into MMORPGS and Warcraft/Starcrat style games mainly

FPS is for n00bys no skill, "just point and click" (and dont give me the "ppl who say that suck at fps" bit)

anyone into the final fantasy Serise will be intrested in FFXI comming out on PC or already out in some parts of the world, its an MMORPG but it looks swish and the game play is very good.

MMORPG(massivly multi player online Role Playing Game)

gamecube>Xbox>ps2

but if Xbox live every gets up and running in aus i will buy one..

nerd

damn beat me too it!

Everyone likes games Dimi, but fuck mate, you somehow turn it into Geekfest 2003!

maybe one day i can goto sydney and represent cyberadelaide!! :P

Lets forget the Launch Party @ Traffic and make it a LAN party instead!

I'm hanging for Gran Turismo 4, Syphon Filter, Metal Gear Solid 3, and the new game from the makers of Grand Theft Auto; Manhunt, you play a serial killer on death row that gets released into the city and you gotta fight off gangs and other murderers.

All on PS2!

I'd have to say that i thrashed MOH-AA for a long time, i loved the online game play. Can't say that i've ever got into consoles though, after playing mainly on a PC, concoles just don't do it for me.

errrrr what games don't you have BALLsak.

I'm considering buying a Xbox, prolly get one in the new year. They cost fuck all, get it chipped, wak a 200gb hard disk in and you're well sorted!

If i was going to buy a console it would be an XBox for excatly that reason... Copy the games onto the HDD and its a one stop box of fun, no cd's needed

$20? hahahaha I could beat you with any character.. You could even choose my character.. *Perfect*

You're on!

you struggle to beat anyone with balrog!

hahaha.. yeah hes pretty shit.. but if you work out how do the moves secs apart you cant escape the forward lunging uppercut.

Zangief is pretty useless

Altho you never scared me for a moment when challenging me to an SFII game (White Men Cant Jump nor can they play SFII as good as non-whites), you just proved your skill level to me!

Lunging Uppercut is escapable, cos you can use dragon punch to counter just before it hits, whereas Zangief's spinning pile driver is the ultimate range move! (Short of using projectile attacks) A good player can grab you 3 paces away and you can't counter with dragon punch at last min!

SHO-RYU-KEN!

I will set a time and place.

After WE, LD vs C9 at whatever the nearest arcade is.


GAME ON.

Done and done!

Oh and thanks to Mayday, I discovered last year that Time Crisis II, a big TV and the laser gun setup in conjunction with a HUGE weekend make for a great stress reliever, as well as a good violence outlet!

hahaha...

I remember that one...

Your best quotes were:

"take that you Edward Scissorhands poof!"
"this is what you get for turning your back on chinaman!!"

It was Time Crisis III too mate


Now, will C9 accept the challenge?

Time Crisis III (thanks for the reminder Mayday!) is wicked fun, good cos you can have the whole Junglists Vs Hard Dance deathmatch that everyone wants (thats if you think everything is a conflict of interest in this world!) or Cops Vs Ravers etc etc

And Cloud9 WILL take the SFII challenge, I'll speak for him on that one!

Time Crisis is the best ever ARCADE game!!!so much fun i spent $34 to finish it once at Intesity marion

hahaha damn.. I was hoping you where going to choose that for me.. Yeah.. You do a kneeing air kick followed by the spining pile driver and its almost unescapable..

Bring it on though..

Saw SFII arcarde machine on EBAY for 350.. that would have been sick..

ID pay 350 for one of those for sure



tho imagine how much delivery would cost

Street Fighter Two was THE BEST, Chun Li was my bitch!! My dad had a arcade machine business of his own so I had all these arcade games in my house when i was growing up
Does anyone remember Golden Axe?


Best pinball ever- world cup soccer

bit of trivia..

the first people to play Half Life 2 online were the people who cracked the product and the other thousand that it was distributed to.. The 20-30 thousand people who actually paid for the game were still trying to log on to steam 2 hours later

Just got a bunch of new games on pc.... gta san andreas is fucken sweet -draw distance is huge. swat4, brothers in arms, vampire mascerade(spl), battlefield 1942, desert combat & road to rome, joint ops, cold fear, star wolves, star wolves and an awesome re-hash of tetris.

ohmigod this game is so good!

is it brand new from retail stores? or downloaded? if its brandnew someone must be using the CD key (hacked) best off going into the store u bought it from and ask for a new cd key

Nah it was the demo... I couldn't get the game to recognise my free gamespy or whatever it is account, apparently a lot of people have been having the same problem

This post has been edited by muffins on Jun 28 2005, 10:24 PM

the demo servers are pretty much all shut down now as the full version is out so its kind of pointless bothering with it

wicked game

wicked game

Im just about to commence install

OK i have a technical question about GTA: San Andreas (and GTA: Vice City)...

have had San Andreas for a while now (not purchased tho and full hard drive install ie i got .mds image file running in Alcohol 120% on virtual drive), played it dozens upon dozens of times without a single problem...this morning i went through usual routine, disable cd/dvd drives, mount GTA_SAN_ANDREAS.mds file on virtual drive, the GTA:SA DVD browser window pops up, i click on Play GTA: San Andreas, the DVD browser window closes....and....nothing happens like as if id pressed the 'Close Window' button or something....

now you'd think it would be because it's not a legal copy 'blah blah' BUT same thing happened with GTA: Vice City when i actualy baught it couple years ago!...played it dozens of times over few weeks (running straight from CD like the way its meant to be played) then one day, put the cd in, go to run it and...nothing....

any ideas as to what the fuck is going on?...any help would be great RA

Anybody else played King Kong on PS2?
SHIT game!

me an my mate have been clocking some serious hours lately into pro evo soccer 5 on xbox, we're pretty good now. :shifty:

on the lighter side of gaming, check this out....

World of Warcraft, otherwise known simply as WoW, is one of the most popular and successful computer games in history. It is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game that 6 million people pay $10 -15 per month to play. This type of popularity creates a sample size that is large enough to reflect the forces that control it. In Layman's terms, with this many people playing this online game at any given time human nature tends to get a stronger representation.

The first "reality" check was a bug that caused a plague to outbreak and affect people's characters in certain cases instantly killing any player below a certain level.

The second "reality" check was when this group of Warcraft players otherwise known as a guild interrupted a memorial service. Apparently, some dude dies in real life who is a popular WoW player. The people in the game think it would be nice to have a memorial for the player so they log into his account, take the character to a lake, and set it up for everyone to come pay their respects.

A bunch of dudes decide this would be a great time to ambush everyone so they run over a hill, kill the dead guy's character, and then wipe out everyone who was there to show their respects. They filmed the whole thing and put it on the net.

hahahaha its so nerdy its hilarious

I've downloaded the new Tomb Raider game.. and this game is honestly a 12/10 awesome graphics and gameplay... def worth getting....

yea thats what i said earlier in this thread. doesnt she look hot! LOL

I'm gonna be a real advantage taker here and direct you to HERE

It's a game I've been working on for the past two years, its based on an author known as HP Lovecraft. It's text based, but much better than your general MMORPG M*'s above is a site, the company I work for has plenty of other games. The website is myself and another staffers doing, I'm proud... so am going to show it off.

jeezus, playing a new game now "Condemned Criminal Origins"... made by Monolith, the same people who did FEAR so its using the same engine.

omfg FEAR was pretty scary but this is even scarier. you play a forensic agent, very similar to CSI but the atmospherics of the game is intense. crazy psychos running around whilst u conduct investigations.

FEAR set the atmosphere very well with great cinematography and horror effects (sudden images flashing on the scree, eery music, etc). this just takes it to a whole new level.

only played it for 30mins so far. enjoying it!

schnookie, here's another one for you to play nonstop with sound up loud and at 4am ;)

Can anyone recommend a good flight sim for pc?

still been hammering Condemned Criminal Origins (see few posts below), but FUCK YEAH, the new Ghost Recon is finally out on PC (Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter). has been out on Xbox360 now but the PC version will dominate all!

Alright well im sure alot of RA Gamers could relate to this guy

its funny as fkn hell a MUST WATCH!!!

WATCH ME!

recently bought Socom3 for PS2 online.. fucking wicked game..

Got a few games up my sleeve :wink: Wanna play Nathan :w00t:

i've been hanging out for Nintendo's next console. i was invited to e3 this year too, shame i couldn't go. but hey, given a choice between japan or america, no contest as to where i'm pouring my mullah

i found that bigpond has tribes 1 for free off its site so i've been playing that over the last few days... love the jetpack..
anyone want to play one day pm me..

playing god of war atm, fun, taking a break cause i'm stuck at the oracle gates..

thank god for internets.

Been a while since I wrote some game stuff.... so I'll let loose....

First is first... I got banned on Battlefield 2.... Excessive teamkills... It was actually a mate of mine playing at the time but some smooth talking to an admin got me back in the game *phew* - also, my mum of all people, bought me a logitech gaming mouse mx518.... fucking unreal... can't believe I was gaming with such a primative pointing device before...... 'on-the-fly' dpi setting change is AWESOME




For games....

I'm looking forward to HUXLEY... that's going to be one of the biggest things to hit EVER. Huxley will be huge.

Alan Wake Project - WILL BE FANTASTIC, loving it already..

Halo 3 actually looks good

Quake Wars will chew the pants off Battlefield2142.. (unfortunately - but the idea of mechs in BF is sweet) ... not too sure whether Unreal tournament 2007 will cut the mustard.... (i'd BF2142 to whoop both,, but likelihood is slim)

STALKER is STILL MISSING

I want to be Don Johnson so bad I will buy Miami Vice

Gears Of War - looks like only a 360 game thus far but I think it's going to be the first game with intelligent 'team play'

Metal gear solid 4 is on it's way and that will be another walk in the park for Konami

PREY - awesome gameplay videos strewn across the web right now...



What I've been playing of late...

I still crank Battlefield2... It's just never a dull moment in that game - it frustrates me and I love it still..

The Godfather - enjoying this WAY too much.... 'Hats off' execution is my fave..

Oblivion- elder scrolls... - About level 46? Darkbrotherhood works for me now... really need to try out the main storyline soon



Now everyone look at the latest Huxley trailer........ NOW

schnookie, scroll further down in this thread to a few games i recommended :) actually scrub that, i'll just say it here

ghost recon advanced warfighter SUCKS on pc. the engine stinks. stay with xbox360 version.

condemned criminal origins: GET THIS GAME NOW.. HOT!

Schnookie do you have X-Fire instant messaging? That tells you what server people are playing games on.

Get it and we'll fuck some shit up together

I''m playing Elder Scrolls Oblivion and think its awesome. Now that i got the net, I just want to get them for free. Send/PM links please.

Linh - when our download quota ticks over again, condemned will be gotten for a trial... have heard good things

Spanky - I'll grab that x-fire thing soon too.. Got a couple of friends that are about to set up for battlefield and i love having people in the squad that aren't retards.. I'll drop you a line when we've got their accounts set up and ready to go

big up Schookie.

We are slowly amassing an army

well that's just one bitter nerd's opinion isnt it :)

Sure, and where better to post the blog than the home of bitter nerds.

Doesn't mean he is wrong though.

thoroughly enjoying black and white 2 atm... i played the first one a fair bit and have found (and also going by the reviews) that this is more of a remake as opposed to a sequel. loving the eye candy of the game so far! everything maxed out at 1920x1200x32

Looking forward to Mario Kart sooooooooooooooo much!

:-)

anyone wanna help me out in getting a wii chip

Electronics Boutique is your friend. Theres on in the CBD near hotel richmond.

Yeah mate.

not long now


new gta trailer

A whole bunch of Liberty City maps and multiplayer screenshots have been leaked too.

Might be a lame question..

But does anyone know where I can Hire a Wii for the weekend?
Want to see what the hype is hahaha..

Im happy to lend you mine

I strongly encourage everyone to vote for R Rated games in this poll for The Age here. I know it's late but we're already losing!!!

something for all you zelda fans out there

zelda trailer

Looks pretty B-Grade. But does look like it retains the look of the game.

Same:) But it does look B-Grade.
