I have just bought Manhunt but i'm a bit scared to play it because i'm a wimp when it comes to stealth based games

Personally I hated manhunt, *Spoiler*
Just not enough damn ammo.

Good old times... I was so addicted to this

Counterstrike is the only game that I play.

Counterstrike is the only game that I play.

yeah but 5$/month is such a drawback for it.

What $5? I use steam to play. You download and install steam and then you buy the game (CS is $20). There's no monthly fee. The cool thing about steam is that the digital purchase is always there so you can install CS without purchasing again if you decide to reinstall your computer. No messy cds, no fuss.

you have to pay 5 a month? i just paid for it once..? but that was a while ago im now playing CS:source, cool game

Woops, I meant Counterstrike: Source is what I play (not the original counterstrike)

Currently:
Mafia
Rome Total War
Civ IV
Pacific Fighters

Pirates!
One of the best old games in history along with Settlers and Lemmings. Bring back the Atari! Although I shouldn't forget Goldeneye and Perfect Dark on N64.
The only one I've played recently is Star Wars Battlefront II - Great fun online with all the variety. Oh and Mount & Blade, if only they made that online too.
Some newer versions of my fav games actually now suck:(. Though I rather liked the Hearts of Iron and Europa Universalis Series and Galactic Civs.

I'm REALLY trying to play Gal Civ II - (dark avatar now) - it is SO sterile - no draw me in gameplay, I quickly get bored.

Pacific fighters is even more sterile, flying a mission...keep flying it, ops you died, just try again. No cut scenes, no character, no "extra" just a really good sterile flight sim. Oh how I miss the reb baron days....

play Command and Conquer: Zero Hour

its real time action.

and Gal Civ...is kinda time consuming

I don't do strategic real time. I love realtime(tactics) in Rome.

I hate making build cues in real time - that is for turnbased stuff. No strategic planner is making build plans in the same period of time it takes a military force to perform an attack or defense.

your missing a lot buddy.

I play too many games according to shorty anyway, I'm glad to (willingly)eliminate an entire genre.

Yeah my genres are:

real time strategy
first person shooter

Yeh that's the one I like best. I do have an almost non-existent attention span but strategy should keep your mind active for a while, then just occupy yourself with something else for a bit. I find I spend more time designing the cool ships! Though seeing as I'm used to the Civ series and so many other long winded strategy games it's nothing new to me to be patient.
I like games which have as much as possible in them even if it's not all havoc style action like Halo(frankly that style of game pisses me off as it's too point and hold shoot.), but if they make a game so you miss one thing and it's game over it's really annoying if you're forgetful and have a serious lack of attention(like I do).:shrug:

Glad you mentioned that, I'm looking for a decent new flight sim so I'll cross that off the list! I nearly got Heatseeker but you can't play as the russians apparently so that's basically all my favourite modern aircraft as I love MiGs and Sukhoi's.

I'm thinking of loading up WWIIONLINE despite it's goofy problems, just to get in a 109 again....and fight real people. computer A.I just is not there. (Even in Gav civ - I find the A.I so predicable).

i also like rome total war... but i find it gets boring fast... tactics are the same for most battles against the same civilization. think i'll try medieval 2 total war

also AI in rome total war is really stupid. I tried all kinds of battles at the highest difficulty and defending a city is a joke... so is attacking a city. in a field battle all you have to do is outflank them with cavalry, destroy their general (which isn't very difficult because mostly the AI leaves it exposed or worse just charges it at your infantry) and break their line by charging at the middle of it and they will start routing. When you can build the better units this process goes faster... large battles lasting 5 minutes tops.

Also the AI tends to leave important cities exposed... such as huge cities with good production facilities with only a governor or a single unit...

Good old times... I was so addicted to this


me and my friends would skip school just to play golden eye, and i missed out one old game from my list that i forgot about.

TOE JAM AND EARL for the saga. now that was an original wacky game. you gotta either hate it or love it.


peace.

o.k hows abour fairly modern games like from 199 onwards but i gota admit golden eye was so cool for the n64...... that and star fox

yeah star fox was good, the N64 had good 4 player games.

you should play dawn of war and the expansion if you like RTS. its based in the warhammer 40K universe, and its stunning. the zoom in graphics are awesome and the gameplay is great. very true to the 40k universe and you get to customise your troops uniforms wich is a nice touch.

peace.

yea i played daen of war th eonly problem i had was the space marines were the only ones you could play in the story plot i wasnted to play as the alien thingys

get the expansion, and anyway screw the story mode, playing online is the best thing, although im being a hypocrite because i havent played an online game since last year.



peace.

lol i might do when i get some cash..... but the game you should get is age of empires 3

lol i might do when i get some cash..... but the game you should get is age of empires 3

does it lag?

a bit but if you have a stable internet conection you shud be fine i run it on a 2 meg wirels and i aint had no trouble so far

lol i might do when i get some cash..... but the game you should get is age of empires 3

i played the demo, and i heard the real game is not that good. i loved the old ones thoug, and AOM was good.


peace.

AOM has got these lazer bears....its a cheat...try it, its hilarious

age of methology is that? lord of the rings battle for middle earth is quite good aswell

but you guys want to know a realy good game for free it's an fps and prety decent looking www.warrock.net take a look it's pretty cool

Yeah I find this too....but the game otherwise is sooo good that I forgive this flaw. I usually cannot finish a campaign though it just gets too easy later.(as with all total war games)

if AI gets too easy...change the setting to "insane" and add looooots of AI against you.

Starcraft. It never gets old.

Spore and Starcraft II are coming...

Currently playing World of Warcraft LVL Undead 70 Warlock, Stormscale. But i've been playing since launch and I'm really getting sick of it. To much focus on PVE and not PVP. Once Warhammer comes out me and like half of the WoW community are migrating there. Realm VS Realm, castle seiges, can't wait:)

Currently RE-playing:

Vice City
NBA Live

Currently playing (new):

FF9

Best game ever:

God of War

If you have a PS2, buy God of War (and God of War II) immediately.

Games take up only a small portion of my day, to be honest. I'd reckon that you, shorty_37, are on sciforums more than I play video games.

Dragon Quest Swords (Wii)
Eternal Sonata (X360)
VF5 (PS3)

I reckon not, I just popped in I was wallpapering all night. I like
to do more constructive things then play games.

Well, on average, you post 25 times a day. Let us assume it takes you 1.5 minutes to compose every post on average, and you spend 2 minutes in between each of your posts. Remember, these numbers are VERY generous, and in reality, are probably smaller than what they should be. Anyway...

Your posts account for 37.5 minutes

Your free roaming period accounts for: 48 minutes

Total: Almost 86 minutes.

I spend less than 86 minutes a day (on average) on video games. I have not played at all within the last three days, to be honest. Finally, video games are not a waste in moderation. By that token, watching movies/TV/computer/reading fiction/etc would all be a waste.

wow quite the calculations there lol...........some posts take all of about 30 seconds though.....and there are days I post nothing.

Anyway I take it back...... if you spend less then 86 minutes a day playing games thats nothing........ I meant the ppl spending 5-10 hours a day playing them.
Watching TV that long is a waste too. Some ppl barely go out for fresh air or do anything constructive.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Take this post of mine for example...it will have taken me about 35 seconds.

Yeah, I usually play it a bit every day. I can go a week without playing, then play three hours every day for the next three days. Thus, it averages out to be about an hour (max) a day. When I'm not on summer vacation, even less (as I'd assume would apply to you as well).

(as I'd assume would apply to you as well).


not sure what you mean but I DO NOT play any games lol. I barely watch TV either. I spend alot of time doing "projects" home decorating and building stuff.

No, I mean that you would probably do things that are a "waste of time" (computer, TV, etc) during summer vacation. At least, more so than the other times of the year.

summer vacation..(sounds like you go to school)..I still do my "projects" and maybe lounge in the sun a bit which I guess is a waste of time ;)

There is more to life then playing game after game.

such as? (besides things needed to maintain a living)

why is playing video games a waste of time? why is it any worse than other recreational activities?

why is playing video games a waste of time? why is it any worse than other recreational activities?

I didn't say it was. I agree with you when you say video games are just as big of a "time wasting" activity as other recreational activities.

I still don't see why playing games is a waste of time. Please explain.

It's mostly society bullshit. They say "get a life" but what is that? Do they mean that you're supposed to do what everyone else does: work your ass off so that you can afford useless crap.

I still don't see why playing games is a waste of time. Please explain.

I didn't say video games are a waste of time. I said, IF they were, they are equally as useless as other recreational activities. I'm on YOUR side here, but you don't seem to understand.

and marry some woman and waste the rest of your life watching after children.

when you could be having fun playing video games...

Some people may view playing video games as a 'waste of time' , but i see it as cheap therapy. Whenever i feel like killing myself , i just put on a video game. You forget how much life sucks when you are immersed in a game

Well as long as one can balance out their duty, chores, social life and free time well I don't see a problem with video games. At least it has made me a dummy or cut me from indulging in the opposite sex. Admittingly I do lose sleep over it sometimes when I'm really into a game but their's no way it's getting in my schedules with friends.

Right now im playing Knights of the old republic 2 on the original XBOX. wacky as, best starwars game. Some of the sentence choices has me laughing. You get asked to help people, something along the lines of "can you help me", and you get to answer with things like "i'll help you....too die."

Love it.

yeah KOTOR rules... make sure you take HK-47 with you a lot and talk to him a lot, he's funny as hell, although I liked him much better in the first KOTOR, he has more to say. I think he was voted the best video game character once.

i like pc game at the moment that's why i'm gona upgrade in a couple of months so i can play the big boy games like stalker etc....

i love xbox =]

grand theft auto is the best =]

I love the HK...but ahead of Minsc???

"No you can't have it, get your own space hamster..."

lol irember manhunt good game till some lad felt obliged to hack his mate open with a hammer then it got baned.

"No you can't have it, get your own space hamster..."

Minsc.. I had to google that I never played baldurs gate. Might as well get it since I'm bored. I guess its like diablo 2? I kinda got bored with that. With that in mind, do you think its worth getting baldurs gate? or is it just the same with a different storyline?

By today's standards the graphics are lame - are on par with Diablo. The gameplay, story and characters(kotor excepted) have yet to be reproduced. Well ok, planescape torment did - but I am jaded on that one, a bug ruined my game.

Actually Jagged Alliance 2 had well done and more characters. Not as much depth though.

BG +BG2 could be gotten for cheaper than the cost of pirateing it nowdays...
