Re: what game are you playing
 

I saw it for $39.99 on the american Direct2Drive site (down from $49.99 until monday) this was wednesday morning so I assumed it was next monday but adding it to the basket it came up as the higher price. They removed the special label/price that afternoon, had a right moan at thier customer services and have now got $5 credited to the account but they say I still can;t have it at $39.99 so I'll wait for a bit...

It's bound to drop soon as the UK stores are starting to offer it at £23.99 though steam in the US have it up for $64.99??? and they'll charge an extra $5 in tax for a UK purchase :(

Re: what game are you playing
 

lol... just buy it from fleabay Kymmy or yeah just wait till its cheap on steam (2 years time probably)

I've been playing a lot of WoW again, thought I'd try it out again since they've made quite a few changes, I started a new character from scratch and found it really easy to get on the ladder, nice improvements IMO Blizzard :)

Re: what game are you playing

Re: what game are you playing

Re: what game are you playing
 

Why do I get worried when JT starts talking about playing with his rocket????

Re: what game are you playing
 

I like my little rocket :) - although I have also been getting kils with my desert eagle recently too.

Incidentally - I just 'approved' you ;)

Re: what game are you playing
 

I'm a sniper at heart, the problem though is that the COD4 maps we played last night aren't big enough to play the true sniper game...

Re: what game are you playing
 

I started a new toon, an alliance Shammy, I've not enjoyed WoW this much in ages :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

The games I've been playing of late are, team fortress 2, Stalker:clear sky's,spore, crysis warhead and pro evolution soccer 6.
I hope the new pro evo 09 will be a major improvement over 08.I've even pre-ordered fifa09;) , that's the 1st ever fifa game I've bought, looks good :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

14 achievements in Merc 2 now.

Also playing Spore on the PC

LEGO Star Wars: TCS 360

Re: what game are you playing
 

Colonization, stalker clear sky and if I have time left a bit of cod4.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Gone back to playing a bit of Rome Total War, then realised 3 hours later i was still playing it.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Been playing Armed Assault with the latest patch. I can actually play it now without the PC BSOD-ing half way through every mission!

Roll on ArmA2 and Operation Flashpoint 2!

Re: what game are you playing
 

Crysis Warhead and Pure

Re: what game are you playing
 

Crysis Warhead - so far so good....but

...............just got to the Hovercraft bit, awful, hate stuff like that, ended up floating around in a circle with seemingly no way to go getting the crap shot out of me, utter garbage.

Will try again later, hopefully this is just a blip and not a return to the last 25% of Crysis?

---------- Post added at 15:57 ---------- Previous post was at 14:16 ----------

And another game destroyed by a completely shocking section that I would rather just skip than even bother with, the controls are terrible, it's bouncing all over the place, you can't see where you are going. The thing you are chasing is nothing short of comical. It vanishes off screen from time to time "We lost him" they say on the radio, a pathetic attempt at creating tension, then it reappears when you have lost some energy going in circles waiting for "We've found him".

And why have they made the games specs even higher? Most of us couldn't run the first one fully, this is even more demanding, like I am going to go spend £150 to drive a hovercraft that defies gravity :rolleyes:

Re: what game are you playing
 

Its only a short part of the game

I disagree I found Warhead a lot less stressful on my system than Crysis


I just finished both Crysis and Warhead. Just finished FEAR and replayed MoH Airborne. Need something new

Re: what game are you playing
 

Max Payne :D

Re: what game are you playing
 

I've just been playing pipemania :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

try Stalker Zing... it is worth it mate and you wont finish that game quickly either ;)

Re: what game are you playing
 

HELP! Where am I going wrong, I chased that thing into the area with the frozen ships, it jumps over the top of it, vanishes! I can see the tracks on the ice where it has supposed to have gone, through some mines half in the ice. You go a bit further and there is a huge Alien ship fighting the bad guys, and some beach houses, some guys in Nano suits. The green dot indicating where this "Lee" bloke is I can't see any way of getting to. It appears to be up on top of the cliff at the back.

It runs like a dog for me (still on my 8800Gts). Got it set exactly as Crysis is set and it runs way worse, had to drop some detail to get it smooth, I can see where it has gone, HUGE open areas and the Gfx are amazing.

---------- Post added at 17:46 ---------- Previous post was at 17:20 ----------

It runs like a dog, does that work? Might be a Greyhound :dunce:

---------- Post added at 18:32 ---------- Previous post was at 17:46 ----------

Oh, I see. There is no finess, you just steam in, dive out and leg it up those stairs. The fact the bloke you are chasing just vanishes off the map is best forgotten I guess. I just struggled to the main base shooting those annoying Aliens only to have to kill a giant Alien, which I did, YES, I did, as the blokes meant to be helping are doing rock all but get in the way, it died, I killed off the last couple of little doods, something went bang, and I am dead.

They destroyed the last game once the Aliens/Ice appeared, and they got slated for it, so what do they do, the exact same thing :banghead:

Not impressed, good job it was only £15 or it would be going back.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I've just finished Crysis warhead and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Thought it was alot better than the first game. Cant complain really for £14.99 :) (Well maybe I can when it has SecuRom :( )

Re: what game are you playing
 

There's a set of wooden stairs behind the huts, abandon the hovercraft and head up stairs ;)

Re: what game are you playing
 

I am hopefully almost finished Mercenaries 2. It has to be one of the buggiest/achievement glitched games ever. Of course, it's not surprising when you know that EA are involved with it!

Re: what game are you playing
 

Yeah, I saw it. You just pile in and leg it. I guess I was thinking about it way too much, I was trying to find the other bloke in the hovercraft, I came to the conclusion it had glitched when he just vanished into thin air.

To the point you get on the Submarine, that was all great stuff. Once the Ice hits and the Aliens appear, again, it goes downhill, like Crysis did.

Sorry, but when the guy you are chasing just vanishes off the level, and that is a scripted event, shocking game design. Seems like they couldn't figure out how to end that section.

"How fortunate for "CRYTEK" that men do not think."
- Kingbuxton

Re: what game are you playing
 

Dunno why that happened to you but I watched the hovercraft go off into a tunnel it didnt just vanish like you keep saying.

I also didnt take the root with the stairs I ran to the left and used the strength mode on the suit to jump up the rocks :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

I am looking forward to Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway and CoD 5 but I think I am gameless till then

Re: what game are you playing
 

Yeah, you kinda pick him up again in a bay with loads of ships on their sides, he jumps over one of them and that was the last I saw of him. Assumed it was a glitch and replayed the level and even went back to the shipyard and borded the Sub again, did it every time.

Really not enjoying it at all. Just cleared out the mine, and now it is another boring defend a position moment, the Aliens are just too hard (Not so much hard, more tedius) to kill, this is why I didn't like the original when they appeared. They take way too many hits to die and move about far to erratic for my liking.

I can't be doing with bits in games where you have to keep redoing it till you do it, lest you fluke it first go. Not a good game at all, not even for £15. I was close to grabbing a 4850 on Friday, so it could be worse.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Just got my mits on GRID!!! OMG what an absolutely awesome game, especially as it plays maxed out on me PC an looks just as good as the 360 version.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Brothers in arms - rubbish!

Re: what game are you playing
 

None Xbox Live is down :(

Re: what game are you playing
 

LOL! Same here :(

Re: what game are you playing
 

Its down for 24 hours of maintenance, also they are upgrading the servers for some undisclosed reason, which will become clear just before Christmas.

I just found this link concerning the upgrade, looks like we could be getting avatars like the PS3

Re: what game are you playing
 

Gear's Of War,
Lost Odyssey.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Yep... we are getting avatars and loads of other crap...

the new avatars look like Miis from Wii

Silent Hunter III, as i got it free when i bougth the missus her laptop.

She's rather worried that I want to buy a wolpack captains hat :) :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Still World of Warcracft, going for my first Karazhan speedrun tonight :) 3hours and all bosses down is the target ;)

Re: what game are you playing
 

The Force Unleashed, which I'm really enjoying - particularly good for the expansion of Star Wars canon.

The only downside (although only a minor one in my opinion) is that it could have benefitted from being more of a 'sandbox'-type instead of the linear progession that it's got but, frankly, I think it's good anyway :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

I am sitting playing elite (bbc'b' version) on my laptop at my dad's :)

Right on commander!

Re: what game are you playing
 

Found any space dredgers yet ? :D

Re: what game are you playing
 

Nah, lots of Hermits though ;)

And I don't know if it's down to the emulator I'm using but I seem to be getting a lot ofmi-jumps and ending up in a battle in which-space with thargoids.

Still once I take out the mothership I do get lots of alien items ;)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Fifa 09.

Re: what game are you playing
 

PS3:

LBP Beta, WipEout HD


360:

Half-Life 2 (Orange Box) [really should get round to finishing it before LBP & Fable 2 come out later this month]

Re: what game are you playing

Re: what game are you playing
 

Halo 3 :(

They have ruined it with the new ranking system

Re: what game are you playing
 

I haven't played Halo 3 in ages.


btw, love your sig image, lol.

Re: what game are you playing
 

cheers, shame its so tacky and blurry

Re: what game are you playing
 

Halo - the first one.
:D

I was watching the VOD of Bravo's "Gamr" last night in the wee small hours. I was v e r y tired but there was some new Halo gameplay on it. Must have been Halo Wars?
Or I might have been dreaming. I should take another look.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Made any levels yet matt ? if so let me know I'll have a go ;)

Re: what game are you playing
 

I was so bored with current titles i ended up raiding "abandonware" sites. Then rediscovered Elite and Frontier wooohooooo. My son thought i was so sad. So i hid his ps3 controler :) "so reeeeeeeeeeeespect to ELITE" hahaha when games where games and men still never grew up.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I didn't get on that well with elite II (I won't even discuss elite III)

But for a real retro version of elite you should get hold of elte:thenewkind which is a pretty faithfull reproduction of the BBC 'B' version.

The best version of Eliete in my opinion was on the archimides computer.

Re: what game are you playing
 

WipEout HD quilety game!!!

Re: what game are you playing
 

just gone back to playing this game Age Of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

Still my main game is eve-online

Re: what game are you playing

Re: what game are you playing
 

Team Fortess 2 and I'm tempted to get Counterstrike :D. Try being a pyro after being out in the pub ;)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Fifa 09, Best out of Fifa games in my opinion :smokin:

Re: what game are you playing
 

Hah, no, not yet. Only done a few of the tutorials.

I'll give it a go at some point, but I'm not very creative, unfortunately, so I think for me LBP will be all about playing the story levels & other people's levels.

Re: what game are you playing
 

PURE and Eternal Sonata both on Xbox 360 format.

:)

Re: what game are you playing
 

I agree. I was also a pro evo man until this year.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Me and they guys from work are playing Battlefield 2 on our own private server.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Been playing Brothers in arms Hells Highway dont really like it

Re: what game are you playing
 

it looks a bit crappy on the adverts, whats it like?

Re: what game are you playing
 

crappy lol seeing as its the Unreal engine the GFX are nice but they have not done a very good job if you ask me. The way you hold a sub machine gun just looks wrong . Changing direction when you run is poor. Plus I am not a great fan of squad games. Rainbow 6 vegas was simple I liked that but this its just nah

Re: what game are you playing
 

awsome

Re: what game are you playing
 

Pure on 360 keeping us off FIFA09 at the moment. Awesome game but will probably lack long term playability. Been waiting for something like this to fill the gap left by Motocross Madness :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Finally had another blast on the Orange Box today (HL2).

Ah, good old Gravity Gun saw blades vs zombies :D

Re: what game are you playing

Re: what game are you playing
 

Unreal Tournament 3

Re: what game are you playing
 

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 - 360. (only £9.99 from Play.com). :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Picked up far cry 2 for PC yesterday so giving that a go. The graphics are stunning when running everything on Very High. Looks better that most the the trailers I've watched on it.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Midnight Club: LA

Quite an hard game imo, atm if you crash then you're basically screwed. I'm at the beginning of the game though, so I don't have a top notch car - and I started off with an 80s Golf GTi. :erm:

Re: what game are you playing
 

playing Saints row two at the moment, sweet game!!

Re: what game are you playing
 

FIFA09 on PS3. Can't get used to all those new tricks.

Re: what game are you playing
 

ewww, why am i playing halo 3

its awful!

Re: what game are you playing
 

COD 5 beta version, not bad, good graohics, crappy weapons sounds, poor respawn on free for all, but looks promising,

no COD 4 though,
