I WAS just playing City of Heroes. bit miffed actually. You make it to lvl 43 and they don't even give you a new power http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif. I have been seriously considering Republic Commando, but I'm waiting for a magazine to give me the demo first.

See, I can't play MMORPGs. I'll never get married if I do that. I lost a year of my life on Ultima Online, and will never repeat that. But if I WERE to play an MMORPG again I'd want it to be City of Heroes. I've always wanted to create a superhero called the Tour Guide, whose secret ability it was to know exactly where every restroom in town was.

A game of Metal Knights with my dad. www.knightsoft.ca

You will always get turns Narf, even if you have been thoroughly killed. PBW only stops sending you turns once your Empire has been marked as dead (or you withdraw from the game). You will be unable to log in as your Empire if you have lost everything, however.

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 
I played Ultima Online for about 2 years and quit in 2000. Was on the Catskills shard, was part of the Dragon's Claw (VvV) guild.

Anyway, currently I'm playing EverQuest 2, some Rome: Total War, Medieval: Total War, Dawn of War, (get the gist?) and Team Fortress Classic on the same server I've been at for 5 years now. Drippy's 2 Fort rules!

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 
Right now ? SE4, 5 pbw games. Then i got back to Diablo 2 and its mods. Yeah, thats about it. Finished KoToR 2 just recently and was dissapointed, wont play it again. A bit of Republic Commando is nice as well. And of course Underground 2. I love it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 
There is a bit of a debate at the moment that KOTOR2 ends badly because the higher ups pressured them to finish it on time instead of implementing all the plot. People have accessed the files and found the complete ending that was never used.

RudyHuxtable March 13th, 2005 04:27 AM

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 
The ending could have been so much more. I was thoroughly disappointed. So much of the plot just farted there at the end. The whole GOTO showing up, Mira being there...

Where did my ending go? Lucasarts should have just minded their business. The game was fantastic until that point. The battle music on Dxun is incredible http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

What does the complete ending look like Randall? Have you read it?

Randallw March 13th, 2005 05:05 AM

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 
here's a site with links to various information. can't say for certain that it's the stuff i read but I think it makes available the assorted information

RudyHuxtable March 13th, 2005 11:51 AM

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 
I read that stuff Randall, and I'm appalled. Aaron makes a masterpiece in his spare time after work. Lucasarts shoves that turd out the door because the bosses need their Porsches polished. Go figure. Now KOTOR 3 for me will be a rental.

Smolf March 13th, 2005 12:04 PM

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 
Civilization Conquest - the best version ever of the great game. IMHO it even beats Civilization I.

SEIV - (PBEM with a friend).

Hearts of Iron II - great RT ww2 game.

And if I just need some lame action, then Battlefield Vietnam http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

RudyHuxtable March 13th, 2005 12:08 PM

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 
Yea, Smolf, Conquests rocks. I've been playing the brains out of the Sengoku Jidai scenario. Have you tried the Warhammer Mod? Get it. Great fun.

Smolf March 13th, 2005 12:41 PM

Do you got a link for the warhammer mod? Sounds fun

Starcraft

N64 Forsaken64 Multiplayer at the highest difficulty setting a coupla times a week when I'm bored. Man, there's just never been a multiplayer combat in any game other than this one that gives me such a rush. I will hang on to my N64 into infinity just to keep playing it.

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 
You can find the Warhammer mod through the civfanatics.com website. Their forums have a thread that houses a huge number of mods. You can find lots of good stuff on there.

Quite easy actually http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif. I live in the middle of nowhere so there's not that much to do most of the day. Most days I'm in at school for 8 hours or so, come home, have nothing to do so I play PBW games.

To sum it up, I have no life http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

This is slightly off topic, but...

How does everyone feel about EA owning the NFL license? To me, it's nauseating. ESPN NFL 2k5 is great, and I play it regularly. I've always found the look and feal of Madden to be clumsy, and erratic. Now I won't have a choice for the next 7 years or however long it is. What's next? Exclusive MLB?

Homeworld2
Heaven & Hell: Live and let Die
Modding SEIV
Emperor: Battle for Dune

And btw, how can you create a map in CivIII where the names of stuff (anything) is changed? Every time I alter the name of something the game won't load the map. It will go to the Empire Select screen - sorry, People Select, been in the SEIV world too much lately - but then, when I clikc Start, the game gives me an error message and crashes, so I need to restart it. How can you make maps with different names work?

edit: Homeworld2 arrived the day before yesterday, and already I'm addicted - I think in Homeworld2 terms lately. I even said "Acknowledged" to somebody who called me while I was playing. I've even started a Homeworld2 Mod, but gave up on it less than five minutes after starting.

I've only come up for air from City of Heroes to play CS:Source. KOTOR II is on deck as soon as I disconnect myself from the other addictions. >_<

Just thought I'd poke my head in here to see what's been going on; been away from SEIV for much long!

Atrocities March 16th, 2005 01:37 AM

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 
Space Empires IV, Tribes Vengeance, Sim City 4 Rush Hour, Far Cry, and Star Wars Jedi Outcast.

I enjoy all of the games, say for the multiplayer aspect of T:V as it is rampant with cheating and VUG has suspended all support for the game. We told them in the beta to address the cheating issue or they would loose sales. They did not, and they have. The unreal game engine is ripe for cheating, as America's Army has discovered. Oh well.

I enjoy playing Sim City 4 Rush Hour because it is kinda releaxing to lay down some roads and plant some zones and watch things grow. However I wish that the game had the same appeal as SC3 had. For some reason the new region map system, albeit a novel idea, limits the size of a lot of the cities, and the region terraforming system sucks horribly when compared to that of SC3.

Space Empires IV is by far the most addictive of all the games I have ever played. However addition comes at a heavy price as I find myself burned out and depressed with the game as of late. To many limits and un-addressed bugs in the last version are road blocks to expanded playablity.
We need a new patch.

JN Jedi Outcast, well what can I say, it is just simple evil fun to kill stormtroopers with a light saber.

I play Dominion II off and on and enjoy it. It really is a fun game despite the micromanagment.

I need more games..... Shrapnel hint hint, release more games!

FarCry is simply one of the funist FPS I have ever played and the graphics are by far the best I have ever seen. I have finished the game on its hardest setting and am now just playing it for the simple pleasure of sniping people from afar. I use the cheat code to hover (Noclip) and then hunt for victims from the air. Loads of fun. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Then what about the old tie-fighter game? One of the first games I ever tried on PC (an at the time supreme 384-33mHz).
