@V5 - I agree, but there are so many FF haters these days I don't even know where to start, and since no one mentioned it (of what i've read) I decided to tread carefully

@inflames - No, I'm not going to pull my head out of my ass because I happen to think that 90s was the best times for games, modern games are for the most part boring as shit and are just eye candy, or inferior clones of greater games of past (as is the case IMO for shooters and RTS's) Maybe you are too young to know what I'm talking about, in which case I suggest you get an emulator ASAP..at least you like AoE2, which I agree is a classic..and yes CoH is great BECAUSE it's so different from farming RTS's..I'm so sick of carbon copies!

Anyone picking up Uncharted 2 on tuesday? I bought a ps3 last month for this game.

I belong to an online video game rental service, so I don't buy all that many games, but I fully plan on playing that game. The first Uncharted was very good.

What is your opinion on games like ArmA/Operation Flashpoint?

I don't see why Counter Strike hasn't been made for Xbox 360/PS3 yet, I mean the PC has Source.

 

[waif]

an emulator

I don't think so. Old console games? Boring. I do play plenty of older PC games (Diablo II = best ARPG ever), though.

Finally had a chance to play Quake 4. The game is cool but the quality of graphics shits it up pretty much

 

[waif]

Really? I thought the graphics were great but the game was crap.

 

[~Neurotica]

Well, there are so great moments and views - like body organs and shit and it makes the game shittier because thequality of those details are so fucking low... It fucks everything up.
For example Dead Space is much better at this point.

xbox has counter strike, but FPS are made for the PC you homos

Yes xbox has counter strike, but since then they made CS:Source for the PC which is better and havn't made a new one for the 360/PS3.

It depends, large scale FPS like ArmA/OFP are best for PC, but if you're talking about generic run and gun FPS games, they are made for the consoles.

If I had the money I would go for a gaming computer over any console.

oh dear god u said source is better, you have lost thy opinion on first person shooters good sir

 

[Valerie]

They're the god damn same, one just has updated graphics. The "Original CS is better!" bandwagon is one full of retards.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i never played the original cs only source, but i played it obsessively for a long time

 

[waif]

I haven't played source but the original was incredibly unfun and full of cheaters and obsessive players. Day of Defeat was essentially the same game only with better maps and more interesting gameplay and a slightly-less-steep difficulty curve.

Playing Nethergate: Resurrection. The original Nethergate was released by Spiderweb Software in 1994 and they just plopped it into the Blades of Avernum engine (meaning marginally better graphics, exact same gameplay with additional quests). It's cool. It's an RPG set during the Roman conquest of Britain. You can play as either the Celts or the Romans and the game is completely different depending on which side you choose. So far it's pretty damn fun.

theres probably a youtube video of cs source hitboxes, google it plz

I spent the entire day playing Aion. It has been very fun. Right now it ranks up there as one of my favorite mmo's, and I have played a lot of them. For those of you who don't know, the unique thing about this game is that you play a Deava, an ascended human who is now essentially an angel/demigod protector of mortals type dude, thus the big wings, which you can actually use. I made a crotchety old wizard looking fella, and he rules.

Some Screenshots I took:

LMAO your character looks like an anime-version of Jesus

 

[Evil?]

HAHA

I realized after I made him he also kind of looks like an old man wizard version of Rob Zombie...

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I hate MMOs and Aion is probably no exception, but your character looks pretty cool I must admit.

 

[Eligos]

So I'm playing Fire Emblem 6 and I stocked up on all these weapons early on in the game so I wouldn't run out before I came upon another weapon shop. And now I'm almost out of weapons, at a weapon shop, and out of money. This game is impossible.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

So yeah...looks like Splinter Cell: Conviction is going to be one badass fucking game.
