Yeah im playing Torchlight at the moment, its cool

I enjoyed playing Balders Gate, I luv these RPGs, another good one

was Champions Of Norrrath, also Sacred 2 is awesome. :)

I think Sacred 3 is due out soon

This seems dangerously close to fanboy talk. Though I do love me Assassin's Creed. My favorite modern franchise.

Misha, what do you think of it? It's not a hard game to get into, and trying to find some good loot is addicting!

There are some great Mods out there, but they are unfortunately exclusive to the PC.

Make sure it's patched up to 1.15!:)

I loved Oblivion(I played for months and I didn't even advance the main storyline beyond my character escaping from the prison at the start of the game! It's huge!:cool:

One thing that I didn't like about Oblivion is that if you became a vampire, and then got the cure, your character looked like a half-vampire, half-melted hybrid. There was some glitch that caused that, as your character is supposed to revert back to what they looked like before the physical changes occurred. Poor Daphne. She just didn't look the same after that.:( At least I had a save before the changes, so I just got myself healed before the affliction became permanent(so no physical changes).

Have you played Fallout 3 at all? It is a huge game, like Oblivion, and it uses the same engine(Gamebryo) as Oblivion as well.

I own both Sacred Gold and Sacred 2(I didn't think that it sold enough to warrant another sequel, but I'm glad that they're making one), but I haven't had a chance to play them much. I'm sure I'll try them soon(if I can find the time!:eek:).

Baldur's Gate(the entire saga) was epic! Starting off as a weak character(I played a human male called Shadows), I carried my character over to Baldur's Gate 2 and finally Throne Of Bhaal. I romanced Jaheira(you have to use the online walkthrough for her romance as it is the most buggy of them all, and if you don't follow it exactly you can have it become unable to be completed), but decided to decline the opportunity to become a god.

Aerie was upset, but I was with Jaheira from the beginning, and after the loss of her beloved husband Khalid, I was there to comfort her in her time of need. How could I abandon her, or cause her pain by turning away from her growing affection(soon, love)?:)

Anyone heard about this Carolyn Petit business yet?

No. The only thing I've heard about it is from your post here. I just Googled her. It looks like she's a reviewer for GameSpot. Nice to see another female gamer out there.:)

Has anything in particular happened with regards to her recently?

She's trans. She recently reviewed LA Noire and apparently gamers at Gamespot went apeshit. ("she's trans, it's a move by gamespot for a social message," "she's trans, so that diverts attention from the review" kinds of things and worse which I can only imagine.) I think most of those posts have been deleted by now. I only heard about this yesterday from Arthur Gies of Rebel FM.

I knew that she was a transwoman, but I didn't think anything of it. Those comments that were removed show how misinformed people still are today. I imagine that there will be many (rightfully so) banned accounts at GameSpot after all this.

I've got that on xbox but I've not played it yet.....

Torchlight ? Pretty entertaining.
No patching though as it's on the xbox

I'll check out fallout 3 then :) Thanks.

Jodie, don't the XBox 360's have internet access available to them now, or is that just on the PS3? If so, you should be able to get access to a patch on XBox Live wouldn't you? I will admit that I don't know much about the consoles, but it should be available.

Regardless, if you picked up Torchlight recently, it should be the most recent version available(I believe 1.15 came about in February at the latest).

Jodie, I have heard that there are issues with the GOTY(Game Of The Year) version for Fallout 3, but I cannot recall if it was for XBox 360 or Playstation 3. There is some bug that causes the game to freeze. Before you look into it, try to see which one it is. If it is on the console you own, just pick up vanilla Fallout 3. There are still a TON of things to do in it.

And if you get stuck anywhere or need some tips, I would be happy to help you out.:)

Play it! Play it now! The first one is really repetitive but still interesting. It is the sequel that shows the true potential of the franchise and Brotherhood is just to damn pretty and the combat has been improved--chain kills! With any luck you'll enjoy the themes of control (the Templars) versus freedom (the Assassins) as much as I did.

All Bethesda open world games are best enjoyed on PC. Nothing beats the keyboard for those games although Skyrim might just change that--and I've no option but to buy Skyrim for 360 since my laptop could never handle it.

You could access a patch but only insofar as Bethesda has uploaded it for Xbox users. But you'll never get user made patches which fix tons more problems that the official patches did not address (there are fan made patches that fix thousands of problems in Fallout 3 and Oblivion. There is also a streamline program for Oblivion that will make it run much better--I don't stutter even in Sheogorath's throne room! that place is the biggest drag on framerate.)

Have to love Bonetown

Ok cool
looks like its the ps3 with diffs so I'm ok
http://community.us.playstation.com/...art=0&tstart=0

I'll let you know if I get stuck. :)

That's very true, Enoch! I downloaded and installed the Unofficial Fallout 3 patch and it fixes A LOT!

There are also hundreds(if not thousands) of Mods for it. The weather Mods are pretty cool. You can get rain, snow, fog, sandstorms...really cool stuff!:)

Glad to hear that you won't have the issues. The GOTY adds 5 different addons, so you get even MORE value for your money(I picked it up for $29.99 Canadian a few months ago even though I already had the original Fallout 3 CE version when it first came out).

The addons are:

1. The Pitt-a very challenging place. Be warned that once you enter, you cannot leave until the main quest of The Pitt is completed. However, you can re-enter The Pitt afterwards at any time.

2. Operation Anchorage. This is a really cool place that involves the original battle in Anchorage Alaska between the Chinese insurgents and the American army. My favourite of the 5! Again, once you're in, you're in. You can't leave until the main quest is done. Also, once you exit the simulator you cannot re-enter it again.

3. Point Lookout. A very large addon that adds a unique twist to the "Southern hospitality" saying. You can leave at any time, and re-enter whenever you want. You just have to buy another ticket onto the ferry. A fun adventure!

4. Mothership Zeta. Once you are placed on the ship, you cannot leave until the main quest is finished. If you like energy weapons, then this is the place to go! Once you are finished the quest, you can re-enter the ship but you only have access to one small part of it(to get more equipment). This is regarded by a lot of people as the weakest of the 5 addons.

5. Broken Steel. This addon is not accessible until the Main Quest of Fallout 3 is completed. I won't spoil this at all.

I hope you have fun, Misha!:)

Don't forget the very nice Perk you get if you finish Anchorage with all the briefcases. 15 points!

Don't forget the Unofficial Fallout 3 addon patch.

While it was fun collecting them all, the reward wasn't overly great(you can get the skill points easily enough elsewhere). I'm just glad that the Unofficial Patch re-instated the Perk into the game! Without it the Perk is MIA.:eek:

Sorry. That is the one I meant. The one that I have contains the Vanilla game as well as all the addons. It says that it is the Unofficial Fallout 3 patch(nothing mentioned about the addons in the title), but it does contain fixes for everything.:)

My memory is fuzzy. Maybe the fan made patches for Fallout 3 were different than Oblivion. With Oblivion there was the UOP (unofficial...) and the patch for the addons.

There could have been different versions at the beginning. There were quite a few versions listed leading up to the latest version in the ReadMe.

Speaking of a new version, are you going to try out Fable 3 for the PC(it came out last Tueday)?

Nah. I'm busy playing the old school Sonic games and trying to ramp up my reading and I very much doubt my stupid laptop can handle Fable 3. It can't deftly handle Fallout 3. It can't even handle Super Meat Boy at full resolution!

I think the 'Call of Duty' series is the best game I have ever played...especially the online play.

I love
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Call of Duty: World at War
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Call of Duty: Black Ops
I got black ops athe week it was released and haven't even played the campaign yet, the online multiplayer is so good.

Okey,
ordered it last night
{GOTY edition, xbox :)}

Lap it up quick as you can. Skyrim is coming.

Considering how you'll probably finish the "campaign" in only a few short hours, you're not missing much.;)

Awesome! I'm looking forward to hearing about your adventures.:cool:

Also, be sure to let me know what you think about the moment after you leave the Vault at the beginning of the game.;)

Oh yes. That moment. Indeed.

It's jaw-dropping, isn't it?:)

Yes it is. It is unfortunate that a) I cannot really experience it again except perhaps if b) my laptop wasn't such a piece of shit that I never experienced the full graphical "beauty" of the game, in which case it might happen again. It was very cool after spending 2 or 3 hours in the Vault learning the ropes and redoing the test several times before I settled on a build I liked.

When I am finally able to afford a computer that would be able to play it will all the "bells and whistles" I will play it again. I had it at medium level and it still looked phenominal. I cannot wait to see it fully loaded!

Skyrim will be too much for my current computer to handle, of that I am quite certain. I will purchase the CE version of the game and then wait until I get a better computer to play it.

What is CE? I for one will have no choice but to buy an Xbox 360 version of Skryim. Such a pity. Bethesda's games are best served one a PC if only because fans make patches and some mods that makes things prettier--I have never cared, and never will care, for fan made questlines. There is already too much in each game to experience without throwing in fan quests.

CE stands for Collector's Edition. I like getting the extra goodies. Some CEs are better than others. Fallout 3(lunchbox and bobblehead), Fallout 3(poker chip, cards, art book), Bioshock(Big Daddy figurine, music CD), Pool Of Radiance: Ruins Of Myth Drannor(dice, music CD, novel, D&D module, dice bag) are just a few examples of great CEs. I don't really like the ones where all you get extra is a couple of codes to gain access to "bonus items". Bleh!

Some fan-made quests are worth playing. For example, Circle Of Eight's additions to Temple Of Elemental Evil totally fixed a broken game(even after the final "official" patch) and added some much needed content.

I just learned about a little thing called the Metal Gear Solid HD collection. My heart flutters. It's MGS2, MGS3 and Peace Walker. It comes out November. I can only hope you have a schoolgirl dancing in your head as well shadows.

That game cannot come out soon enough. Well, yes it can. If by soon enough means I don;t have the money to purchase it. I'm glad there will be another "interactive painting" out there--Okami is the other one.

I've never played any of the Metal Gear games(even on the original Nintendo!). I didn't even know they were out for the PC to be honest. I have read lots of good things about the series as a whole, and I am sure that I would enjoy playing the games.

Do you have a PS3 or an XBOX 360? Because the collection is coming out for those two at least. And don't tell Hideo Kojima I told you this but you can download the first Solid game--Metal Gear Solid, which is not included in the collection--as a Playstation rom and play it on an emulator on your computer.

Currently getting through Just Cause 2, man that game is huge! Anybody on here know anyone who's actually gotten 100% on that game?

Alas, no PS3 or XBox 360 for me. I own a N64, but that's about it(besides my PC of course).

You know how I like to cap off my visits to Constantinople? By setting the fleet at the harbor on fire and running, climbing, and ziplining my way to my own ship. Good times. Good times.

I'm a total gamer chick! :D
 

I have a 360 (and if your clever you may figure out my GT :p)
I like RPG's (western that is), action adventure, some FPS's, puzzle (portal 2 FTW!), and very few sports games (I.E. TW'09 and Forza).

I'm not much of an online competitive player though. :/

I have pretty much all videogame consoles since the NES and love all kinds of games except for RPGs, I just don't have the time to grind for ages and ages anymore :/

It's great to see another Gamer Chick on these forums!:respect:

I will hazard a guess and say that your GT is ThirdEyeGirl?:)

Does anyone here (I'm looking at you shadows) run or otherwise is a member of a good Minecraft server (Creative)? I've longed to join one (like the Skeptic's Guide to the Galaxy Fan server but alas I have no idea how to get whitelisted or whatever else it is I must do to gain entry) but have no idea where to begin.

Good guess :p And we are not the only ones. :p

I'd like to find a survival server... but my guild mates from wow have one... I could just join theirs. :p Just haven't felt like it. :p

I like a lot of older games. The newest one I own is GTA4, and the newest since that is probably Quake 4.

I like games like old school Unreal Tournament, Final Fantasy (the NES version), Neo Geo's Metal Slug series, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I recently started replaying Quake 2.

Actually, I lied. I have a few newer games that my coworker suggested. Spelunky and Super Meat Boy. They're both deadly platformers.

I haven't played Minecraft, but I think you may find your answers over at the PCGamer website. They have made numerous mentions of various Minecraft sites in their magazine, so I imagine that they would have some useful information on their site.

I wonder if anyone here has met any of their fellow members in battle yet?:)

My suggestion to Enoch Root should be helpful to you as well, ThirdEyeGirl. I would check out the PCGamer website for some Minecraft help.:)

I've heard the music for Super Meat Boy is quite excellent.:respect:

It is! It's an additively fun game. Requires a lot of twitch reflexes, though.

I may pick it up if I see it available at a half-decent price. It got a very good rating in PC Gamer magazine(which is where I read about it's excellent music).:)

I rented Duke Nukem Forever and its awesome if you like games that look and play like they're from the 90's. I was seriously considering pre ordering the game! Thank fuck I didn't.

The Sarcasm is strong in this one.

I've seen the video with the twins. Boy that game is misogynistic.

Duke Nukem has always been like that, it was pretty much its only selling point.

I play. I got an X-Box 360. I'm currently playing Black Ops. Although, it's making very frustrated lately.

shadows. Hey shadows! shadows over here. Read my lips: buy Minecraft. I'm building floating islands right now so that I may fashion waterfalls on them that will spill onto the lake below so that I may have such a sight from my log cabin by the lake's shore.

It will be beautiful. Truly it will be an awesome sight.

Alas, there will be no purchasing of Minecraft in my near future. I just don't have time for it at the moment.:eek:

Ha! Surely there are others out there who feel the same way. I heard--through Rebel FM, it's an excellent gaming podcast you should listen to it--Tyler Barber tell of a friend of his that pitifully told him he had deleted Minecraft from his computer. It was just too much.

Black Ops has taken over my life aside from Golf

For those who have yet to learn: Team Fortress 2 is now Free to Play. So go download the Steam service and grab yourself some fun. Once you start Steam you'll get news updates, the first one will most likely provide the link to the download function.

Still lookin forward to the return of Duke Nukem.

You folks should look up "Journey" the newest game from thatgamecompany, makers of "flow" and "flower."

The closest that I will be getting is checking the link of their homepage for the game. As it is a PS3 exclusive(just like the previous two games) I won't be purchasing it.

The game looks interesting, but I don't have a PS3 so I can't get it. I really should've took advantage of that $100 of coupon that Gamestop had a couple of months ago.

The game that's coming to me next is Dungeon Siege III. I only play by myself so I wonder how well it will go considering its primarily a coop game. Looks like a good time killer in the boring summer months of gaming.

Sadly the same in my case. I have no PS3 and lack the funds to purchase one. Perhaps I should have gone with that rather than my 360, though it has served me well. Ah, how I long for flower and flow.

I would imagine that there is a PS3 emulator floating around the internet somewhere.;)

I've no doubt of this. But: it is likely still in the initial stages where they can only play homebrew games and my laptop can barely play Minecraft, Oblivion, Morrowind, etc.

Have you Team Fortress 2 shadows?

And I imagine it would be a huge resource hog.:eek:

No, I neither own it or have ever played it. To be honest, I am not overly fond of multiplayer shooters. I enjoy playing the various Dooms, Quakes, and whatnot, but my skill level is not high enough that I would enjoy too many multiplayer games.

light is our business

`Jenerator`

Is that a Gamertag or what?

In a way you need no skill for TF2. The frenetic action is a reward all its own. And you could always stick to the Medic class.

Yeah, but I like to shoot people(in video games, of course). I don't think I'd like the Medic class very much.:lol:

I like to get behind enemy lines myself and backstab my way back to my teammates. Alas, my internet connection is too weak and my video card nonexistent to be able to do this deftly. But this is why I favor the Spy class.

Forum members who wish to play Team Fortress 2: my Steam name is pandora_pandora.

Ah Spies, the Bane of my Engineering life!

Really? Then you must tell me how they do it because I can't figure out how to take out a sentry and dispatch the engie before he hits the electro sapper away. I have died many a time trying to take out sentries so my team could move in.

I adore this game but I wish people actually played as a team. You know, if only because it's in the game's damn title!

Well I think one way would be to sap the sentry and then backstab them while they're still trying to destroy the sapper and the sentry wont shoot you because it's still hopefully being sapped.

I knew that one. What I meant: I try to do that every time but the engie often has taken the sapper off before I stab him.

Quicker reflexes to pull your knife out? Or if there's other things they've built nearby, sap them first then the sentry, you'll have more time to stab while the sentry is down that way.

who here cannot wait for Battlefield 3 and Skyrim!:inlove: and mass effect 3,and far cry 3 :).uh so manny games to come!if anyone plays bf2 for pc or has a psn hit me up and we'll troll:cool: (i fuckin love these faces.)

Yeah Dungeon Siege III looks mint, I played the demo the other week and thought it was great.

Another one to put on my `to get` list` :yes:

Just finished my first playthrough of Dragon Quest IX for DS, just started Dragon Quest IV last night. Been on a real JRPG kick lately heh

So whats Dragon Quest like? Ive got a DS :)

anything from Blizzard is gold!

I am trying to tear myself away from videogames. They are very addictive. I have nearly 200 for my wii and 100 for my gaming PC...it takes up so much time...

But on a more positive note, my favourite type of video game is the stealth game, like Metal Gear Solid, Deus Ex. I like all mario games too.

I'm personally an old school gamer, in that I grew up with every system when I was a kid (NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Game Gear, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, N64, PS One, PS2, PC Games during the '90s, and a friend had Super Genesis), but around high school, my passion ebbed out.

Apart from games online embedded in java applets, it's only very recently that I bought an XBOX 360, and rented and beat Portal, and then rented and didn't beat Half Life 2. I currently own Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Fozor Motorsport 4, and Fable III (came with system).

I hardly have time, but I hope to beat some more games soon. :)

Forza 4 and Fable 3 are great games, I have them both. ;)

Just pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 13 hours ago :D

So you didn't purchase it then?:confused:

Unfortunately the prefix pre is not restricted to on-line vendors. All too often it is used with a verb which renders the resulting word meaningless.

Pre-purchasing means I have paid for it and once it's released I get it. It's a sort of "pay now and you get it when it's ready" shtick. Pre-purchasing the game (purchasing before it's released) means I get guaranteed access to all beta events from now until launch, and I get 3 days early access to the game when it does release on the market. When it's released, I don't have to pay any further money towards it, and the game itself has no subscription fee.

Some may see this method of purchase as foolish, but I ask you - how many times have you thrown money away? When you purchase something online and get it delivered to your door step, is that not some sort of pre-purchase as well, as you're giving them your money before you have the product? Not only that, but my pre-purchase was a digital copy, meaning as soon as it is released I have only to download it. It's 100% guaranteed that I will get what I paid for, and aside from waiting for the data to download there's no wait time for it, whereas when you purchase something online, you have to wait between 5-12 working days for your product to arrive, and there's a chance it may not arrive whatsoever.

There is even a site called kickstarter that a lot of game developers use when they can't get publisher funding for a game. Basically they make a pitch video and include a "Back this project" link so that the people who want the game are actually paying for the development themselves, cutting out publishers all together. Tim Schafer (who made games like Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle) and Brian Fargo (who made Wasteland, Fallout and Fallout 2) have both gone on kickstarter with great success. Tim Schafer is making a new adventure game called Double Fine. He asked for $400 000, but the amount pledged was over 3.3 million. Brian Fargo is making Wasteland 2, and asked for $900 000, and with still 5 days to go the total has already skyrocketed to over 2.3 million.
