Other PC Games Thread.
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?

Sacrilege 
Hotline Miami is one of the best games I've played. I enjoyed the hell out of it, and there are like 20-30 tracks (I know, I bought the soundtrack).

The games difficulty is one of the best aspects, also I love the twitch gameplay. 
Agree 
Though I do think the bosses are bullshit. 
 
I am stuck at the car boss and it is zero fun because I simply die after seconds if I am not immediately crushed by the car.

Maybe there is more music later? So far I had very few songs (great ones though). 
Morrowind 
is on Steam special for $6, I'm wondering if it's worth getting even though it's pretty old.

I've already played Fallout3, Oblivion, Skyrim and New Vegas. I played FO3 all the way to the end, but in general have never really enjoyed the main quest line of these games and pretty much just ignore it. I basically just like exploring the world and doing quests. 
 
There's the morrowind graphics extender which gives you a modern far view distance like oblivion. 
Morrowind Overhaul 
There's a plethora of mods, a real mess if you're not familiar with the nooks and crannies. An excellent (automated) mod package I can recommend is Morrowind Overhaul. I re-played the game with version 2 some time ago. It looks gorgeous, although it also puts quite a bit of strain on the machine the more you max out the visuals. It's not only graphical, I think, but also includes some script fixes.

Spirit: aw, you're like a little puppy. As soons as the level starts, run to the room on the left for cover. You can pick off the enemies from there. 
Negke, You Dog 
I did that and always ran out of ammo. And since I could not hit the molotov guy from there I thought it was a wrong approach. 
The Car Boss... 
piece of piss. took me a single go.
Neg is right, you jump to the left and just blast away. The game does have a couple of difficulty spikes, I love the helmet parts. 
 
wtf did I buy..

Proteus

Artsy-fartsy critic thing. r_drawflat, cl_*speed 50, sensitivity 0.01 and acceleration. Does not seem to have any gameplay elements. Accessing the menu requires you to hold esc for several seconds to see a "YOUR EYES ARE CLOSING YOU ARE SO IMMERSED" animation but not too long because then it quits right away. 
Car Boss 
isn't piece of piss, exactly. Like I seriously doubt most people survive that 1st go.
But far from unbeatable. Just keep at it! 
Hotline Miami SPOILERS 
I did beat it earlier and was pretty pissed that the objective was not killing the molotov guy but just two groups of enemies.

Then I got to the capital sin of gaming, the hospital section where the view spins around and the player character randomly shambles and stops moving. Fuck that. Reminds me of that rmq demo poison(?) part where I got nauseous from the distortion. Blargh...

On the upside, finally new music. 
HM 
Killing helmet proved the hardest fight for me, I didn't enjoy it at all (and it took me like a million go's to do).
Everything after that wasn't bad though, thoroughly loved it. 
Just To Be Contrarian 
(cuntrarian?)
All in how it's utilized, I'd say - and there are of course a lot of ways to go wrong. Poison effect shit *can*be done well though - eg Yoshi's Island. 
Gunpoint Is Out 
Lost 
I know it's sounds weird from a call in the dark from someone who's lost in DeusEx in the Canal-Road and can't pass the automobile accident.

It breaks me up to loose all JCDenton's code and cheat for the next level. 
Hmm 
It depends where you are in the story, at a certain point the story will progress and the automobile accident will clear by itself and you can get past it.

What is your current objective? 
Very Cool: 
 
There's 2 Versalife missions; in the first you need to obtain a employee pass and go through the main entrance elevator (near the market and lucky money iirc). Once you done that and talked to Tong, etc... the road blocks should be lifted and you can plummet into the sewer entrance in the back of the tunnel.

Been a while since I played so my memory is kinda hazy :P

Oh, and if you finish the game you can always try The Nameless Mod: http://thenamelessmod.com/real/

It's pretty awesome haha. 
Other DX1 Mods 
... for those interested.

Project 2027: http://project2027.com/en/#/
Neat mod but can be tough. Plan to review this eventually...

Nihilum: http://www.moddb.com/mods/nihilum
This seems to be a recent release I noticed by chance. Haven't played it yet though. 
@DeusEx 
@DaZ - I kept turning and saving untill my saved games were up.

@spiney - I've talked to Tong, but when I try to return to the Canal-Road, Gordon Quick stands in the way, although I shoot out all my ammu on him.

It looks as a kind of block-up in the game
Fine textures in the mod.
I'm still a MonsterVodoo2 user, makes playing Unreal like games a joy. 
Vodoo 2 
Haha, that's awesome. I used to have a voodoo3 but threw it out, now I kind of regret not having it for building a retro gaming device.

There's also modernized renderers for UE1:

http://kentie.net/article/d3d10drv/

Both work well for me, they can give you the glide look under DX and OGL.

Quakis: I'll check those out sometime. Kind of in the mood for giving DX another twirl (happens every once a year or 2 lol). 
Spacechem 
This looks fresh...
http://www.spacechemthegame.com/ 
Yes 
Spacechem is awesome. 
Believe It Or Not... 
I still have the Pentium Pro computer that I bought in 1996 just so I could play Quake. I put a 3Dfx card in it right after I bought it.

I later upgraded to a 3Dfx II, and... I still have the box that the 3Dfx II came in, and... inside that box is the original 3Dfx card.

The Pentium Pro still works fine, I turn it on a couple of times a year just to check. It has a 2.5 GB drive and 32 megs of RAM :) 
Spacechem 
Is too clever for me.
