Having a dabble with FSX in DirectX10 mode, haven't touched it since rebuilding this system. Doesn't half increase the frame rate but some of the ground textures don't display properly. Can't believe they canned the development :(

Borderlands 2 (PC) Loved the first one even though I'm not a fan of FPS games. Second one is even better, love what I've seen so far

Re: what game are you playing
 

Playing F1 2012, bought it for just £6.69 yesterday from GAME. Traded a load of games in, plus my loyalty points and it went from £39.99 to £6.69.

Good value there, and I got a receipt saying that if I trade it in before October 7 2012 I get a GUARANTEED £33 trade in value.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Currently got FSX running with EFIS/MCP and PFD data being displayed on iPad over Wireless lan using an app called Airtrack which I must say is pretty darn cool (but not cheap). The app was originally designed to run with Xplane 10 with which you can also use it to remotely generate flight plans. It's great being able to set the autopilot at the touch of a screen without having to mess about with the mouse or buy add-on hardware boxes.

Last night I started Forza Horizon, I have now driven on all 216 roads, but only found 93 of the 100 discount signs, I guess they are off road.

I still cannot find the shopping centre, I guess that it is part of a task.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Liking it? I am. The map could have a few more roads on it though. I guess I'll have to get the expansion when it comes out.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I've heard it a movies map, I hope thats true and they do the Italian job.

I've bought the Bugatti EB110 and dropped the Supersport engine in and hit 276mph on the freeway :D

Re: what game are you playing
 

EB110? Isn't that a barn find? I know the first expansion pack will be for rally.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Had a quick dabble with Forza Horizon yesterday - not too sure about it yet, I'll have a proper go over the weekend and get into it a bit more.

There are bigger fish to fry right now though: Minecraft 1.4.2 (Pretty Scary Update), we have a LAN game going.

Re: what game are you playing
 

As a huge fan of Burnout Paradise (and most of Criterion's racers) got hold of NFS Most Wanted yesterday. Like what I've played so far, a few minor niggles but nothing that spoils the game.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Assassins creed 3 PC what an awesome game.Does not show the founding fathers in a good light at all and WTF is the Ending all about. Templars with their order Assassins with their freedom but in the end it was all pointless.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Just finished it myself. What the hell was supposed to happen? Seems that the ending was shoehorned in.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Now that it's on a decent discount I'm about to treat myself (having sold some stuff on ebay recently) to the latest NFS title.

If anyone else has it and would like to be friends on Origin, my handle is "UKRacer40".

Re: what game are you playing
 

Good luck den, been some people not happy with the match engine. I myself haven't had any problems with it. I have had a lot of crash dumps recently though, but I use an editor to increase my wage allowance so my own fault for it crashing.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Yes l downloaded a editor which cost me a fiver but at least it will improve my financial options but did you know that there is a quick game option now as well Mark.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Yep, played it a few times. I started with the challenges though, failed the unbeaten one. Did the relegation one 4 times, each with different teams. I have already racked up over 100 hours game time on it.

Is it actually any good? I remember Far Cry on PC and that was awesome then it came to Xbox 360 and both Far Cry games on it were pants

Back to Gran Turismo 5 and some seasonal events to earn wads of credits.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Is that the one where he spends the whole game washing himself?

Oh no, I was thinking of Hitman Ablution

Re: what game are you playing
 

Nah, that was about shorthand not being used any more, and you got it slightly wrong - Pitman Abolition....

Re: what game are you playing
 

I concur. Any game promoting an unhealthy interest in under-arm regions should be suppressed.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Just had an email from Ubisoft to remind me that I've been playing Assassins Creed 3 for 97 hours. I blame the weather.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Great game but very, very buggy. I had it at launch though so maybe they've patched most of the problems out now ?

I've just finished Far Cry 3 which was stunning. Looking forward to some of the excellent titles scheduled for release this year.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I probably started playing it after the lions share of the bugs were sorted. Only one I really noticed was my assassin tomahawk just went missing and never showed up anywhere in the armoury (I prefer bashing people with a big axe anyway ;) )

Just started Far Cry 3 on the PS3 myself, managed to get it for 26 quid at Argos. It's certainly a massive step-up from the last one but must have spent an hour last night trying to find more wild boar to make an ammo pouch.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I am well into Microsoft Flight Simulator X at the moment, lots of add on software and flight control hardware too.

How much is it, I used to own a copy years ago for Windows XP and lost the discs so can't play anymore.

Re: what game are you playing
 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flight-Simul...7374012&sr=8-1 - £12.48 from the marketplace or direct from Amazon £16.85

Re: what game are you playing
 

Not sure on the current cost but FSX is quite old now and has not been replaced by a new version yet. I think i have seen it going for around £15 but can't remember where.

Those images you see are all of add ons as the default FSX stuff is rubbish.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I finished a re-play of Uncharted 3 earlier this week.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Just finished playing the campaign of Spec Ops: The Line. Had a decent storey to it and only cost me £10 so happy with that. Not really interested in the MP side of it so probably wont even touch it.

Next for me now will probably be Dead Space 3 and Aliens: Colonial Marines.

I can't wait to play The Last Of Us also by Naughty Dog and then see what they do with Uncharted 4 next gen :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Flight Simulator is done.

Microsoft are developing Microsoft Flight now, released some time ago and is F2P with micro purchases :sleep:

FSX is still better.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Microsoft stopped development on this in July 2012. Although you can still download the game.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Lol brilliant, they finally realized how poor the game was then :D

Re: what game are you playing
 

I've just started re-playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I noticed that you were playing that earlier. I might have to get that back. I never got that far into it. I can't remember why.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I'm trying for a non-lethal run on the hardest difficulty. Not too bad so far so long as you play stealthily...

It's a great game, you should give it another go.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Rage on the 360.

The Scorcher's DLC turns a very good game into an excellent one. I really hope id stick with this IP as it has real potential,imo.

idtech 5 is also a sight to behold,probably the best looking game this gen. :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Just re-bought Borderlands 2 to play the DLC. I was going to wait for the inevitable GOTY edition but the season pass is currently on offer on the PSN for less than £11 which is pretty impressive :-)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Finally installed FM2013 yesterday after having it sat here still with the plastic wrapping on for months. Always a dangerous move having a "dabble" with something like this as it's something akin to having a quick game of Sim City... going to be in big trouble when that comes out.

Re: what game are you playing
 

The Sims 3.

Having two issues, when I register the game it accepts it, but register again (IIRC for the store) it is rejected.

I cannot install patches, as I get the following message.

I have checked the registry and it is a R2 install, and the game was bought online via a UK seller.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Stupid question, but did you select English UK during the install as the language?

Re: what game are you playing
 

I cannot remember, but normally I get stuck with US English.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I would either re install selecting uk English and then applying the correct update, as it sounds like the wrong language was selected, which would mean the updates downloaded and installed the wrong patch

Re: what game are you playing
 

Far Cry 2 for the PC!

Re: what game are you playing
 

Anno 1404 on PC. Pop it on every now and then to chip away at the campaign. Good craic.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I actually installed this game for a friend earlier today and there was no UK English option only English option was English US. There was some option for location further through the install and that defaulted to Canada as she has a laptop she bought when living in canada. I just changed that to UK and after install it patched and worked fine.

This was an Origin copy though so it was mostly automated and required little effort. Hope you get your copy working okay Hom3r.

Re: what game are you playing
 

With regards to the Sims 3 issue.

I'm unaware if it works without Origin but I assumed Origin was the norm now.
Enter the CD-Key into Origin and it will install the game and all patches automatically then it can be easily ran from Origin.
Or try get the default and freshly installed game with no patches integrated into Origin and see if Origin does anything with it.

Got Battlefield 3: Premium, Fifa 2013, Sims 3, Burnout Paradise and some other low key stuff in my Library that all installed the way above. Sims 3 was bought the same way as yourself as was Battlefield. Also note: English (US) is the only English option when installing EA games.

EDIT: Just cropped my mind, with the region issue it could be a case that you've been sold a Russian CD key, these have been becoming ever popular online now. No idea if the Sims 3 is region free but it's a thought.

For anyone that didn't know, Battlefield 1942 is now free on Origin in the Demos section or here: http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield-1942

Just about to start LA Noire.

Re: what game are you playing
 

really good game :)

Re: what game are you playing
 

Got a copy of Aliens:Colonial Marines on Saturday.

Haven't had any time to play it but today I'll definately be bug hunting. :sniper:

Re: what game are you playing
 

you would not have been able to till today :-)

Re: what game are you playing
 

I thought it was a nice idea, let down by being unbelievably boring :(

Far too repetitive, far too restrictive.

Also...(story spoiler)

My Collector's Edition came yesterday.

But, given the overwhelmingly awful reviews it has had (awful, not mixed), I'll be taking it back to GAME on Saturday for a full refund.

If it was the normal version I'd probably risk the drop in re-sale value by opening it and seeing if it really was as terrible as made out, but I'm not willing to do that with the CE!

I may buy it cheap pre-owned later on...

Only if he has the PC version. 360/PS3 versions wouldn't be time-locked 'till release.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I've given up on LA Noire already, luckily I got it dirt cheap.

Back to my dudebro sports games.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I quite like it so far. It does seem a little unpolished in places but certainly not terrible at all.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Glad to see someone is enjoying it. I was planning on buying it but given the poor response it seems to have gotten I think I'll make it a rental instead.

I'm still hoping ill enjoy it to. The last one didn't get great reviews but I enjoyed it anyway so am hoping this one goes the same way for me.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Still slugging my way through Fallout New Vegas.

My mate has loaned me Resi 6 but by all accounts, it's pretty awful.

---------- Post added at 22:09 ---------- Previous post was at 21:51 ----------

Wow. Just found out that there's to be a Sim City 5! Hurrah!
Also just found out that you need a constant internet connection. Boo! Won't be buying it.

Re: what game are you playing
 

It's not awful but its also not Resident Evil. Its a generic over the top third person action shooter. If you accept that then it can be enjoyable but if your expecting a good Resident Evil game you will be disappointed.

That being said I enjoyed it much more than the recent Aliens game. Very, Very disappointed with that. Buggy AI, Unreliable guns, Poor cover system and being shot through the wall a couple of times.

It's just a game that feel's very unfinished and I have to wonder if it even went through any sort or QA testing at all. I expected so much more :-(

Re: what game are you playing
 

If you are into the old style 2d well 2.5d games then I've just been playing one on steam got released the other day....

Re: what game are you playing
 

Tomb Raider - it's blooming amazing.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Just finished Tomb Raider and it is one of the best Campaign games I have ever played it is fantastic.

This has annoyed me though from a review

How dare they liken it saying it borrow one or 2 notes from Uncharted. Lara blooming Croft has been doing this since the PS1 if anything Uncharted copied Tomb Raider

Re: what game are you playing
 

Technically she's been doing it since the Sega Saturn ;)

I agree though the game is amazing.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Might have to get it when the GOTY or Ultimate edition(s) arrive.

Talking of said editions, what were people's favourite games last year that I can now pick-up on the cheap? I didn't really buy much last year.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Mass Effect 3, Far Cry 3, Forza Horizon, Borderlands 2, Halo 4, Assassin's Creed 3.

I know, all mainstream games but I loved them all.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Tropico 4 - Great fun

Just bought the collectors bundle on Steam for £7.50. They have a big sale on this week.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Download an update for BF3 which is 1.92GB at less than 1% of my maximum speed,then i'll proberly get another huge file for the latest map pack.

Come on M$ i've got a 120meg connection and have downloaded 20gig quicker

---------- Post added at 19:27 ---------- Previous post was at 19:24 ----------

Steam and other crap game managers is why i will never by a game for a pc anymore, all they do is fill your system with crap that makes system boot take for ever.

Re: what game are you playing
 

I downloaded both files in about an hour earlier on. I'm on 20Mb.

Re: what game are you playing
 

Well looking at my routers traffic manager it currently downloading at 714k.

very poor for a big company.

what they should do is allow you to these game update before it officially released avoiding the bottle neck.

Re: what game are you playing
 

That would be sweet. It looks like that type of thing works on PC with games so I wonder how well it'd work on a console with DLC? I can see how it'd work with BF3 though. You'd download the DLC and then on the day you'd download the update. It'd be better than it is now, IMO.

Re: what game are you playing
 

sniper ghost warrior 2

don't bother - it seems to have all the crappy elements of 'sniper' roles from the arcade games;
aim assist you cannot turn off
kill cam you cannot turn off
crossing the map to go stabbing (it's a sniper theme, not recon)
only 2 (yes TWO) maps
shoddy textures (even though it's on CryEngine3) meaning a complete inability to hide in foliage
stupid radar map showing enemies whenever they shoot that (you guessed it) you cannot turn off
n.b. - this is on Multiplayer. I don't play single player. however, reviews are slating that too for being far too linear and the moment you stray from doing exactly what you are told to do, it's game over.

I was hoping after the flop that was the first Sniper Ghost Warrior, the makers may have bucked their ideas up (especially as they went on about how they have made a new game from the bottom up for this). it seems not. this is totally made for console gamers, and bad gamers at that. (yeah - I'm a PC gamer)

Re: what game are you playing
 

I just got Ghost Warrior 2 and personally i like it. Only done some single player at the moment so can't comment on the multiplayer side of it yet.
