Func_Msgboard: Other PC Games Thread.

Posted by - on 2004/09/27 08:12:48

So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

Looking back Max Payne 2 is still one of the best stories I ever played. Gotta play it again.
3 hours is a joke but maybe Zwiffle is so zwofflish that he zwuffled right through it.

I still haven't bought it though, cough. But I bought GTA:San Andreas and that piece of shit just does not end. So I guess I am even with the gaming industry dickheads.

Hey, aren't you the guy who fell in love with Mona Sax?

#2497 posted by Spirit on 2009/02/19 11:42:06

Yeah, quite embarrassing reading that old gibberish...

Lurker

thanks. I did do a search but didnt realise the game was so old :)

WHAT

negke: Post? Where is this little gold nugget hidden at?

Replaying Hl1

#2500 posted by Drew on 2009/02/20 10:16:27

any links for HL 1 mods/editing info?

... I'm lazy, I know.

I found this one really nice (but have to admit that I do not remember if I completed it, oops). If you like "post-nuclear" feeling, check it out: http://paranoia.level-design.ru/index_eng.htm

Nice review site: http://spmapcorner.blogspot.com/search/label/Half-Life

Just Completed Gothic 2

Anyone played it? From the authors of painkiller

Well

#2504 posted by Drew on 2009/02/22 03:27:01

I'm using the steam version of half life, but not the source version. Not sure if downloading mods/editing will be a pain in the ass to set up - anyone have any experience there?

Nah

#2505 posted by nitin on 2009/02/22 03:52:51

no problems here with the non source version. Some older mods though dont work with 1.08 updates onwards.

Pulsar I didn't think it was gold yet? Looks awesome though, a bit of a RTCW ripoff, but who cares if it looks good and is fun.

i wonder why no one tells anything about it, it's about a week in retail. my pc is too old to run it

#2508 posted by Zwiffle on 2009/02/23 19:33:11

I got the demo at work. It doesn't run all that well, and the PC here is fairly decent. It was running well on a coworker's PC, and looked pretty much like Painkiller in WW1. Fight zombie Germans, ghosts, use two weapons at a time, run around a lot, etc.

Quake LIVE

#2509 posted by DaZ on 2009/02/25 02:13:45

Is now an open beta, for anyone that missed the news. The site is totally swamped at the moment so I would leave it a while before trying to register if your interested :)

Thanks Daz

#2510 posted by starbuck on 2009/02/25 14:32:08

pretty frustrating right now though, with the queue to get onto the page. Had to go through it once to register, once after downloading the plugin, and now i'm in the queue again after i tried to go fullscreen in firefox and it completely fucked up and wouldn't let me quit.

Hopefully will get to play within the hour!

Impressions

#2511 posted by starbuck on 2009/02/25 16:46:40

offline play: worked fine, Q3 is still fun!
online play: good, good, lag, lag, BSOD

Might wait a few days and try again...

Does

#2512 posted by Drew on 2009/03/01 04:39:16

Anyone know if there are any sites with Half life tutorials or mapping resources still active? 69th parallel seems to be dead. Handy Vandal is really hit and miss...
Did Valve ERC disappear too?

Interlopers is source engine only, my bad!

But if you are mapping in Source, you should already have bookmarked Interlopers, signed up to their forums and read everything there :) They are like the func_msgboard of Source engine games.

Well

#2516 posted by Drew on 2009/03/02 04:17:50

I just wanted to try and make a little HL Episode. It was the first game I ever mapped for and I never finished anything I started with it. So it's more of a nostalgia trip than anything else.

John Carmack:

So, in the couple months after launch, we will be putting together, more or less, a subscription option that allows players, for a very nominal fee -- something around like the $4.99 price point -- to also probably do other things, but the core functionality will be to allow players to, through the very elegant interface they have on the website, run their own game servers.

So in the end, they really want to resell a 10 year old game that only consists of a multiplayer mode. Isn't this pretty sad?

It's a good game and all, but shouldn't they be doing something groundbreaking instead?

#2518 posted by Spirit on 2009/03/03 09:30:14

Hello Mr. Negative,

I find QuakeLive pretty great. The matchmaking works fine and I have never had as much fun with Quake 3.

Maybe if you did not take that quote completely out of context, you would notice that he talks about paying for running custom servers.

The game is fucking free, isn't this pretty nice?

Any Difference In Gameplay?
