Gaming PC/Xbox/PS2/GC

[ladyleviticus]

Hello <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br /><br />I was wondering if anyone is into PC/Xbox/PS2/GC gaming at all. Do any of you play Sci-Fi games for example:Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic OR<br />Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. I play theses games mentioned because they are my favourite games of all time and of course they are made for the PC and the Xbox, but I play the Xbox version. the two games are brilliant and I reccomend to any Sci-Fi fan that they should play theses two games. but appart from that do any of you play any Sci-Fi games on the latest gaming play forms or PC? do you have any that you would like to mention to us that you reccomend to anyone? <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

PC: <br /><br />Morrowind, game of the year edition, but it is a fantasy type game rather than a science fiction game. Also, Vampire: Bloodlust, was pretty good, as well.

I go with PS2, they make the best games. A Sci-fi game I really liked was Zone of the Enders, it is actually really short but pretty cool. After PS2 I go with PC games.

I'm in to PC gaming, although I've haven't been playing as of late. I've played through KOTOR (both light and dark sides) and it was okay although too linear for my tastes. My favourite RPGs are Gothic I & II, Baldur's Gate II and Neverwinter Nights (used to hang out on the City of Arabel server). For sci-fi games I'm in to Total Annihilation (an oldie, but a classic), Freespace 2, Freelancer, Far Cry and Half Life 2. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

What no Deus EX!<br /><br />I'm currently fighting my way through Quake4 and F.E.A.R.

Can't believe I let that one slip past my radar. <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br /><br />Add that one to my list of favourites. F.E.A.R. looks badass, gotta try it. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<font color="orange">Does MW have an end goal, I forget?</font><br /><br />Yes, but that’s only a side-note in the game. It’s mostly open-ended, you can do what ever you want - kill, murder, steal, join factions and guilds, explore the world and perform duties for the game's characters. If you buy the GOTY edition, a construction disc is included. <br />Which, in theory, will allow you to duplicate virtually anything you see in the game and use it to create your own races, islands, people, weapons, spells, quests, factions, guilds, animation, dialogue etc. If you spent enough time working with it, you could potentially create a game within a game, and it could incorporate any of the elements seen in Morrowind. The open-ended part is what is so good about it. Want to steal valuable objects, go for it. Want to murder a commoner in his cabin and steal/sell his clothes, sure. Sell drugs (they call it moonsugar), that’s fine.<br /><br /><font color="orange">have you figured out how to kill any of the creatures on the island that's at the top of the map?</font><br /><br />I’m having to replay MW on Pc because the X-box version contained so many errors that certain types of progression in the game was stopped (I couldn’t get my stronghold constructed because a door in Vivec wouldn’t open…that was common). I am now replaying it on a PC. And since only a 500 MHz - 800 MHz processor is required, it runs very well. <br /><br />Back to the island question, if you are receiving a message that says “your weapon has no effect” after you strike a monster, then consider enchanting your weapon with a magic spell (fire damage, poison, etc.) - you will need a soul gem, though. Use spell trap on a creature, kill it and have a soul gem in your inventory-the stronger the monster, the better the soul gem required. If your character can’t enchant very well, go to one of the mages guilds (Balmora, for example) and get one of the characters to do it for you. Also, y

Fraid I haven't graduated past Space Invaders, Frogga, and Donkey Kong yet.<br /><br />Na just kidding!<br /><br />Fav games at the moment are Sid Myers Civ III, Galactic Civilisation, and Halo - all on the PC.<br /><br />Been meaning to start Half Life 2 but haven't the time so stopped at the Rail yards just after teleportation. <br /><br />Had the fortune to compare Halo, Doom 3, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein on both the X-box and PC, and I dudge graphics and game play supperior on the PC. Plus the advantage of 180GB HD and having applied NO CD cracks to all of them is another huge advantage over the X-Box and I suppose the Play stations.<br /> <br /><font color="yellow">Long live the No CD crackers!!!</font>/safety_wrapper>

I play PC games. Lately I've been into Starport which is an MMO space game and lots of fun! I am known as Regulus there and I run Black Star Corp. The link is www.starportgame.com

I bought a PS1 completely on impulse a few years ago in a Boxing Day sale. It came with F1GP, which is mostly why I bought it I think. I've used the console three, maybe four, times. I am from the generation that can't cope with those modern Playstation-type controllers, so I restrict my occasional gaming to the PC. Last game I played was <i>Sid Mier's Pirates</i> which was buggy as all heck. I love the role-players mostly though. I never really got into the Doom-type first-person shoot-em-ups.<br /><br />Who remember's the old Amiga game, I think from the same people who did <i>Sensible Soccer</i> as they had similar-looking sprites, where you had a series of islands and the name of the game was discovering materials and technology to build weapons and capture the other islands? That game was great! <i>Battle Isle</i> was another favourite, especially in the earlier incarnations which were low on fluffy movie scenes and high on game-play. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?  Henry, the mild-mannered janitor ... could be!</font></em></p><p><em><font size="2">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></em></p><p><font size="5">Bring Back The Black!</font></p> </div>

Mmm, KOTOR. Except they need to make the Difficult setting more...difficult. Republic Commando...never got to play it (bf hogging the XBox) but was fun to watch! Enjoy battlefield 1942 (on pc) to the extreme, especially when throwing a LAN party. And it does apply to scifi when you play the Secret Weapons of WWII expansion. Jet packs ahoy!

 

[chriscdc]

I brought battlefield1942 for the full price when it came out. The cd then breaks on me, completely spotaneously.<br />Battlefield2 is great though, although my connection is laggy as hell.<br /><br />Small review of F.E.A.R. for anyone who cares. non important - SPOILER ALERT<br /><br />Fun, but middle of the 3 areas was more dread than fear.<br />You start at the top of this office block, trying to hunt down this commander. So you fight down through the building ok, meet Mapes (oh how you will want to kill the fat ....). Can't remember prescicely what happens, but you end up near the roof again. Fall down a air shaft to the basement (nooooooo), start the fight up again. Over hear that this woman is in the building, so you have to track her down. Find her, take her to the roof, chopper gets shot down, she runs off, you fight down through the building again, she gets into the carpark, drives off. You then fight past some of the hardest grunts in the game. <br /><br />The rest of the game is fine, apart from the very last boss, who I couldn't beat on even the medium difficulty, but on easy I succeded in 1 go!

The cd breaking is really weird. You should try writing a letter (penned letter, not email) to the company complaining about it. They may send you a new one. Or at least they should look at their disc manufacturers. Sheesh.

I see you've bumped this thread of a year ago with a comment on Civilisation! So what is Civilisation IV like? Is it worth buying? My wife and I were quite addicted to II & III, but I am wondering if no. IV is too complicated. What are your thoughts on that game comparing it to earlier versions? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
