No i put 1000 u just put ebriviation hahah (i.e. I win) 

Any more proper suggestions? I know UT and QW are class, the person in question wants something more "adventury"... 

nuff said ;) 

Animal Crossing 

Anyone would think I was asking on a gaming forum or something... 

how about that Ragnarok game? 

Yeah so I've been playing too much games recently...

Gothic 3:
Started playing this a few days ago, it's nice enough but feels like it could have been alot better... Fortunatly I'm playing with the new patch, which means there are only half of the thousands of bugs that there were in the original version, yay! Still haven't had any major bugs, but mostly lots of little silly things like unfinishable quests and invisible monsters etc... The environments are nice as is the character building and all, and the quests. The combat sucks, it feels like whoever hits first wins, thank god for bow and arrows. I've died so many times against easy monsters it's annoying, wouldn't be so bad if quick saving wasn't so loooong.
Anyways, still a good game, it does alot of things better than Oblivion, but for now I think Oblivion is still superior... Maybe I'll change my mind though, who knows.

Farcry:
Yeah finally played this, a mixed bag. it was alot better than what I remembered from the demo, very pretty, lots of fun running around the jungle. Looks a bit cartoony though, which doesn't really fit with the whole military vibe, they seem to have resolved this on their next game. The gameplay can be nice at times, and just very frustrating at others... I like the freedom though, you can do things however you want, for instance in one map where you start in some fortress like building, I jumped off a wall and then off a 100 meter cliff into the ocean, and swam to shore, thus skipping a large portion of the map... It's just nice to know that you can. =)
Otherwise the designs and story are completely bland and fairly uninteresting, but I still enjoyed it. 

Who's playing WoWcraft? The expansion is hot. 

Me and Vondur (long ago) sold our souls to the devil and are playing the expansion, which is absolutely awesome (altho we are playing on different servers): http://jago.pp.fi/images/WOW/AgaUI.jpg 

 

Recreational activity helps rejuvinate a tired, stressed out modder who may be a bit burned out with his project but who is still willing to soldier on inspite of it all (I hope that preempts what I think is coming). 

yeah Im hooked on that atm... Got my paladin up to level 66 so far,all the new areas and content just rocks, Nagrand in particular is beautiful, with all the floating patches of land with waterfalls falling off them, and the bendy trees, great stuff :)

Loving the new shorter dungeons too, I just dont have time for 1.5 - 2 hour runs these days, so spending 45 minutes from start to finish is great.

Also, the different versions of the new tier 4 armour sets is a great idea, now you can really create the character you want to play with complentary gear rather than what blizzard thinks you should have.

raiding ZG with a group of 20 level 65+ players is just really easy now too :) 

Loving the new shorter dungeons too, I just dont have time for 1.5 - 2 hour runs these days, so spending 45 minutes from start to finish is great.

What a chore it could be to complete a dungeon from beginning to the end. That was a great game inspite of the chugging it out time. Though I've played a bit of both Marrowwind and Oblivion, and I liked what I saw, but neither one of those held my attention as long as Daggerfall did. Like you, the time factor is quite a bit different today than back then. 

didn't you uninstall it?

Just sayin'. 

Talking about individual dungeons inside the game. In Daggerfall, the minor mission dungeons were completely randomized but within a limited set of map templates so their was a great deal of monotony. The main mission was pretty good though, with the moody Lord of the Worms lair and good stuff like that. 

I was not a chore, it was good fun, but 2 hours is a long time these days, thats all I was saying :)

It also means its a hell of a lot easier to get dungeon groups together, and there is a load less of "afk for dinner, be back in 20 minutes" just before the final boss :)

Also, you gotta laugh that there is a level 70 dreanei Shaman on my server, that took what 3 weeks? Some people on this planet scare me :) 

they've also made a lot of improvements in the 'follow the npc' type gameplay area.

remember onyxia attunement and doing jb runs? :P

there's a new one like that in CoT, and it's much better. has different save points, so if you wipe, you don't have to restart the whole thing, and doesn't start automatically when you accept the quest, so you don't accidentally have dudes who didn't know start the quest prematurely. 

so I've been playing Company of Heroes pretty much every day at lunch with some other guys here at Raven. I do well sometimes, and sometimes I get owned. We play pretty casually, and our strategies aren't really more advanced than 'I'll go here, then use tanks'...

So it came as a suprise that one of our replays was submitted to be video reviewed by one of our regulars, and it was. I play horribly this game though :(

WMV here:

nice :) 

why did they choose tiny soldiers and boring ww2 setting in CoH? I prefer the bulky spacemarines and and other scifi stuff of DoW, but apparently CoH gameplay is better and has more depth to it

Two guys here are hardcore CoH players.
Some others play CS and Joint Operations (rather yawn) 

Supreme Commander demo came out earlier this week, and I've been playing that like crazy every night. Tons of fun once you break into the thought that you need 5 factories to pump out units, not just one, and 10 or so defensive guns at a position, otherwise 100's of units will simply walk over things. Thankfully, you can easily set up multiple orders and cancel parts of them so you can just set up units to do a ton of shit and forget about them.

Glad to be playing it at work too, since it supports dual monitors, so your main screen can be zoomed into the action and moving your dudes, and the second monitor can be zoomed out to be a 'minimap' and give you a good overall view of the fronts.

Oh, and Giant Spiderbots are just awesome.

I have to get SC going at work where I have a decent enough PC to run it AND two monitors :)

Everyone else is waiting fo C&C3, but I've irrationally hated C&C since the first game (Warcraft 2 was waaaay better) and don't play many RTS games anyway... only TA, WC3 and DoW when they were new. Never finished the SP campaigns of any of them though ;) 

I dunno about this, I guess I've been spoiled by Blizzard RTS too much, and this is nothing like them so I'm having trouble enjoying it.
There's not much new compared to TA really, there's pretty much no micro management, and the games quickly turn into giant wars where you're looking at little unit icons moving across the map and dying... Doesn't seem to be much strategy involved, just having a fast build order. 

Didn't the demo come out months ago? Or was that the beta?

And, SC = StarCraft.

Maybe SupCom = Supreme Commander?
