[DarkJedi]

So its interesting to see what kind of games people have in their systems at any given time...

Right now my xbox has the New Republic Commando

[cranky1c]

Armed and Dangerous, Mafia, Iron Storm, Ghost Recon, Freelancer

[BRG]

Knights of the Old Republic
Baldur's Gate 1 & 2
Championship Manager 03/04
Grand Prix 2000

I don't play alot, but when I'm in the mood I like an RPG. For just a quick fix, I will have a half hour on the Playstation.

[cranky1c]

Truth be told, the video game I am playing most is the "Spongebob Squarepants Movie" game for PS2. My son has some trouble with some of the puzzles and the time trials so I get called in as ready reserve. We make quite a sight.

[Archangel]

At the moment, I have Dungeon Siege and DS: Legends of Aranna in my PC.

[gmd3d]

the Game I have at the moment is Shogun total war . A simple strategy game :salute:

I have Mindsweep and Solitare.

OK.. so I changed out my Xbox game... its now the SW BattleFront. We were playing earlier. lol Though my box did get used for a HALO party this weekend.... I don't think it'll ever be the same again. lol ;)

In my computer is a new game called Pirates. Its a revamped game from a long time ago. :) Its looking pretty sweet so far.

In my gameboy advanced....I have Texas Hold 'em. Gotta work on my poker skills. ;)

[Rowan]

Do any of you ever play games like MYST?

[Rigel_No_6]

I used to play that...I could never get past a certain point and finally gave up. I should see if that will work on my puny system at home and see if I've gotten any smarter. :Nsalute: I should look for something like Resident Evil, too, that was a good game. Hmmm, we have Vampire the Masquerade; I'll have to see if that will work.

Myself, I'm X-box-less and only have a handful of games that will run on my poor 733 system at home. I play Half-Life, MechWarrior 3 (but it sometimes crashes), and Diablo II Explansion whenever I get the chance but I need to find the install disks to fix a problem on it...sigh...there's always something.

I look forward to the day when I have disposable income and can get an X-box and buy Halo and Halo 2 and play it or another game online with my big brother.

just completed halo 2, so i guess i'll put red dead revolver back in and see if i can finish it

[BRG]

I've started playing the old classic X-Wing Alliance over the last few days. I'm not very good at this game, and I'm still on the "Family" missions at the moment. My wee brother was great at this game, and I used to 'help' him(basicly I sat and watched!). But since he has moved away, I have to try myself. And I never get far before giving up! :cry:

Still, it's a brilliant game. :salute:

I'm about halfway through Halo 2, although I haven't been playing it as often as I'd like. I'm still on the easy level. After completing the game, I'll play it at the harder levels.

You guys and your Halo!!! you have me terribly currious and this is not good!!! I get addicted to games far to easily!!! So tell me all about it :D ;)

[cranky1c]

Halo is, design wise, a fairly run of the mill first person shooter game for console and PC, with art design equal to any game you've ever seen. It's a straight shooter game, but the environments, the weapons and environmental design are unbelievable. The sequel, Halo2, has been out since about November is leading to divorces and failing grades all over North America.

:LOL: god I believe it because that is how a game affects me I never stop playing until I get it out of my system. Which usually takes months :D 10 to 16 hours straight with just enough time for bathroom breaks, I even forget to eat ;) :D
bad very bad LOL! :D ;)

While you all are playing with yourselves, I prefer on-line stuff.

Star Wars Galaxies <-- live, work and die in the Star Wars universe

Everquest II <-- Had to try it, didnt like it, gonna sell it, Lord of the Rings type world

Jumpgate <-- Best space flight sim ever made

Aces High <-- WWII fighter combat, you against ppl all over the world

[TopGun]

what's jumpgate like?

I'm a big Wing Commander fan myself

[Bojay]

what's jumpgate like?

I'm a big Wing Commander fan myself

Jumpgate is about the closest you can get to flying in space. It is fluid space, so there is a tad of gavity. You can be a miner, or commerice boat captain to make money. Lots of different mission. The enemy are called conflux. Space marine life. The nastest foe Ive had in ANY sim Ive done.

With the steam of new on-liners out there. JG has only about 100-200 regular players, so you do get a lot of one on one from good folk. On the other hand the conflux run rabid, and you have to run for your life a lot.

The learning curve is real high, but then so are most of the newer on-liners. BTW thye do use both energy and projectile weapons. either way the flight dynamics will take you a few weeks to get the hang of. The combat dyamics will take you a lot longer.

Its a free download and you can zip about off-line. try it, if you like it, then you can go on-line and run for your life.

Oh yeah there are grievers. Players that have nothing better to do than to hunt down noobs and blow them a part. It is a full PVP sim.

thanks, after i finish red dead revolver, i think i'll play again on ledgenary level(how knows, i might even survive) :D

[cranky1c]

My problem with the persistent online gaming stuff is that it seems like a career. It seems like you have to spend a lot of time to get to a point in the game where it's fun. I have enough work as it is. Also, call me cheap, but I like to finish paying to play a game at the checkout counter of the store.

[StarshipTrooper]

Hi,

Halo was also one of the first Xbox shooter games to feature vehicles. That really did make the game stand out. My favorite is the Warthog, a futuristic four wheeler vehicle. You can spend hours and hours exploring terrain in that game. And there's the Banshee to fly around in, and of course the Scorpion tank that will blow anything up!

Hi,

Looks like I was actually about 2/3 of the way through Halo 2, since I completed the game last night. The last level was tough, but still fun to play. I couldn't believe some of the names of the voice actors in the closing credits. Ron Perlman, Michelle Rodriguez, Robert Davi, Keith David, Orlando Jones, and others. Now I'm re-playing some of my favorite levels at higher difficulty levels.

Well I recently go a cheap Star Trek Elite force box set .. anyone know it its any good

I liked it. It's your typical FPS, but with Borg and phasers. Worth getting if it's cheap and you like ST.

[Spike The Cylon]

I liked it. I want to play the second one, someday.

How is the Bloodlines game?

[Eris]

Hey Spike! How are you feeling?

The Bloodlines game is really interesting. The graphics are amazing, the soundtrack is perfect for the game and several of the game areas are truly scary. I've been playing late at night and have jumped a couple of times because something that happened in the game startled me. The storyline is interesting and well written. Though I'm not alway satisfied with some of the dialogue choices - I sometimes feel like I'm being herded in a particular direction because the dialogue options are limited. And there are some bugs in the game, certain quests are impossible to get until you patch the game so I'd recommend patching the game before you start playing. But overall, I'd give it a 7 or an 8 out of 10.

I will stress that I might be an oddball in my game choices. I'm not a big shooter fan. I'm much happier with RPGs. I love KoTOR and KoTOR2 as well as the Baldur's Gate series. Although I do think Halo and Halo 2 have possibility...

Any recommendations on what I should play next? :)

i'm feeling better. I'm taking less meds, which is a good thing. to quote bomer form LPOTG "It beats beign dead."
I'm a huge V:TM fan, so I'm looking forward to getting the game.

[Eris]

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better and taking less meds. That's good news!

Please let me know how you like the game and which vampire clan you decide to play. Right now I'm playing Toreador but I'm also thinking about replaying as a Brujah and a Tremere...And I'm going to change the score to an 8 or 9 out of 10. If I'm planning on playing it again, I think it merits a higher score than I originally gave it... :)

[Spike The Cylon]

when I play V:TM, i always play my character, who is a Toreador, so i'll be one then too.
now if only i could drive. 2 more weeks to go before the doc will clear me to drive. :(

[Eris]

It sucks not being able to drive. :Nsad:

I've never played V:TM but always thought it looked interesting. I do play D&D on a regular basis and think it's a lot of fun. We are discussing playing V:TM after we finish the current adventure. After playing Bloodlines, I'm certainly leaning in that direction.

[Spike The Cylon]

Ah, D&D, haven't played that in a year. I had a theif character, who was a she, who was like a cross between Princess Leia, and Faith from Buffy.

[Eris]

I've played a thief twice, a barbarian, a ranger and a cleric (my current character). We generally start new characters as other people join the group or as we embark on new adventures that don't fit current levels. My favorite thief was modeled after River Tam on Firefly. So far, I've only played female characters...mostly because there are only two women in the group (myself and a friend) and my friend doesn't always play a female character. I figure I have to make sure there's adequate estrogen in the group. :D

Explain this cross between Princess Leia and Faith...I'm intrigued.

Well, to make a long story short, csue i'm gettign rady to go to the doc, again :( Alyson, my character, is of rpyal blood, but does not know it. she's has an "take no sh.." attutude, and is a natual leader. she also has dark side, so she's very bordreline like faith on buffy in the early parts of season 3.

Nathan, you cannot go wrong with Doom 3 Collector's Ed for Xbox. It not only has Doom3 on it, but ports of Ultimate Doom and Doom II. (too bad the deathmatch in those classic games is split screen only). Doom 3 ROCKS though...and I've yet to try it online. If you like First Person Shooters, I highly recommend Timesplitters Future Perfect.

And you will love Atari Anthology. Takes me back. (If only they had included Star Wars the Arcade Game on it) :D

Hi,

That sounds awesome! I'm looking forward to the Doom 3 Collector's Edition. The Doom I and II ports certainly make it worth the extra ten bucks. The Atari Anthology looks good. It's cool that Atari Night Driver is included. But no River Raid!

:(

I'm still debating whether to get Playboy Mansion or not. It looks good for one of the first adult games, but it's too cerebral. I play Xbox games for shoot 'em ups and action, not for contemplation and bogged-down social sims.

Aye, River Raid won't appear there because RR was an Activision title. However, ye be in luck...there is also an Activision Anthology available, if ye have a PS2 system...which has 60 some games, including RR and RR2. Also the Activision Anth. includes some cool 80's tunes for TRUE nostalgia. :D

There is a freelancer mod that allows you to fly TOS cylon raiders and vipers, as well as a bunch of other ships from various scifi shows. I thinks it's called the Freelancer Rebalance mod. It extends the continued play value of Freelancer a great deal.

I dug into the past just a little bit, and reacquired Star Wars Jedi Starfighter after seeing Episode III.

Forgive me for busting your fantasy, dear friend, but in the in-game engine, that is not Hayden Christensen doing the voice of Anakin. That is Mat Lucas.

And IIRC, he, and many other voice actors in the game are actually from the Star Wars Clone Wars cartoon. (Such as Yoda, Obi Wan, and many others).

:D

I think Lucasfilm has its own set of stock voice actors to use in various elements outside of the movie aspect. They are cross utilized.

For example, I believe the voice of Darth Sidious in Clone Wars is the same as the Emperor's in the audio drama version of Star Wars Dark Empire.


Admittedly though, many of the voice actors are spot on. Lucas picks his VAs well. :)

Having probs with Battlestar Galactica on PS2. I shoot at cylons over, over, and over, and the Galactica still gets blown up on the first mission. I've failed this mission 10 times. And I've never taken this long to get through a game.

Any suggestions?

Howdy, Mike.

The thing to do is use your primary targetting button frequently....and make sure that your missile attributes are set for agility and power. Rack up as many Cylons as you can with a missile lock, and loose your missiles. Trust me, you will be relying MORE and more on your missiles than laser cannons. As the game progresses, your missiles will become much more powerful, and you will MAX all four of your missile attributes....AGILITY, SPEED, POWER, and BLAST RADIUS.

Your primary target will be the Cylon ships that are threatening to bomb the Galactica. You will hear a comm message over your wireless that a Cylon figher or fightrers are about to blast the Galactica apart. (I cannot remember the specific message...but you will know it when you hear it. This is the time you use your Primary Targetting button, line up on your primary targets, and LET EM HAVE IT.


Here's a little secret for ya. When the mission starts....do not engage the Cylons. As long as you do not engage them, there will simply be random laser fire and explosions, with no threat to the Galactica. You can use this opportunity to fly around the Galactica....and fly very close to her and check out the detail they have given the Big G. You can see gun emplacements all over the place...and you can even fly through the trench like structures on either side of the engine housing.

Hope this helps...it's been a while since I've played the game meself.

Oh, no! Personally with the BSG game, I'm stuck on the expert mode Cobra bomber level - there's just way too many Cylons.

On another subject - recent purchases for my PS2 include Star Trek : Shattered Universe, and Deus Ex.

As for the Clone Wars series - some of the key characters (ie. Yoda & Palpatine/Sidious) are voiced by artists who have done the same for various titles in the PC/console game series too (for example - Battlefront, Galactic Battlegrounds, and Episode I).

Shatterred Universe is okay. Deus Ex ROCKS!!! That game you will enjoy. There are several ways to resolve many situations in that game.

I am getting ready to pop in Battlestar Galactica to see if I can help you guys out with your mission probs.

Awright nuggets....here we go....strategy notes for the BSG Videogame.

Strap in tight.

Mission One:

Simple enough. Engage Cylon Raiders. Set your missile configuration to emphasize BLAST RADIUS and POWER You will only be able to lock on to so many ships with your missiles.

It is best if you use Cockpit View (use SELECT to get into this mode) This enables you to have a first person view (my personal favorite) and it allows you to use the right thumbstick as a camera button when you are searching out Primary Targets.

IF you wish to engage with lasers, make sure you fire at the small blue circle that is around the highlit enemy target....this is your weapons lead reticle.

When you get a few enemy ships within missile range, hold down your missile button usually SQUARE, until you get targetting circles over a few of them, then release the fire button...the missiles will shoot after them. SInce your missiles will be relatively weak, you might have to do this one more again. NOTE: You might get more than one lock on a single craft, that simply means that more missiles will be devoted to that target, thus meaning you can fire multiple missiles at that target.

Then, you will hear an urgent message from Commander Magus, stating that the CYlons are targetting Galactica's bridge. This is where your Primary Targettting button (TRIANGLE) comes into play. When you hold down the PT button, a directional indicator will pop up, showing where your primarty targets are. Well, what are you waiting for, nuggets?! A written invitation?! Bring that fighter about, and start shooting the PT's down with your missiles. Best use your camera (right thumbstick) and start looking for white circles around certain enemies. THOSE are your primary targets. When you've eliminated all PT's you will be given your next mission.

BTW, I think we left a strategy guide somewhere here in the Videogames forum. If not, fear not. Martok is at work as we speak.

Thank you so much for the info. I had put this game on the closet, under waste of money.

LOOK OUT CYLONS!!!

Glad I could help you rediscover an enthusiasm for the game, Mike. :)

Keep in mind, this game will be very difficult....but it does have kewl mission elements to it.

I have created walkthroughs for the first few missions of the game in another thread....hopefully it will help you if you get into another snag.

There is a freelancer mod that allows you to fly TOS cylon raiders and vipers, as well as a bunch of other ships from various scifi shows. I thinks it's called the Freelancer Rebalance mod. It extends the continued play value of Freelancer a great deal.

There are similar mod for Starlancer, the game that came before Freelancer.

Yeah the gunship in Jedi Starfighter is cool. The beam weapons are the best. The TIE-Fighter and the X-Wing are cool too. the TIE-Fighter has no shields so you have to be good

DESTROY ALL HUMANS!!!


This game is a laugh riot! You play the role of Cryptospordium 137 (aka Crypto), who is sent to Earth by Orthopox (aka Pox) to do exactly what the game says...(insert cheesy Fifties' sci-fi music and echo effect) Destroy All Humans!!!

You can also manipulate humans with hypnosis, (make them dance, sleep, or specific commands assigned for the mission with certain targets), destroy towns, fire mind blowing (literally) anal-probes, do the cow thing, etc.

Among your powers, you have PK (psychokinesis), Extract (where you pretty much blast the brains out of a human to collect DNA), Hypnosis (insert commands), Holobob, where you can take on the appearance any human you target, to keep yourself from being discovered. I have barely begun the game, so I have yet to find out what all you can do.

And when you are in Pox's Lab, or back aboard your mothership, and just let the game idle, Pox will admonish you with a bunch of funny statements.

This game has the whole "cheesy" 50's sci-fi thing down to a comedic science. Not quite as open ended as Grand Theft Auto...but it will keep you in stitches. Highly recommended.\

Sorry so short, but I gotta get back to this game.

Been playing Star Trek Shattered Universe on my PS2, great game

Been playing Star Trek Shattered Universe on my PS2, great game

Great game, but damn if its difficulty doesn't jump all over the place. :D

The ship models are nice.

Thus far, my favorite fighters to fly are either one of the Orions, or the second Federation fighter that gets unlocked because of its dual phasers.

The third Imperial (Federation) fighter is great, it's got more powerful Daul Phasers, same sort of pulse phaser cannnons, but the best bit is the Photons, it's got 2 lauchers and each fire a torpedo that splits into 4 and then all 8 track the enemy. I'm afraid to say that I cheated and unlocked all fighters, I also used the invincibilty cheat. Some of the missions are really hard.

Pardon me for interupting the Star Trek Game conversation, but I have a question about another game . . . Lego Star Wars. Is there anyone here that has played it? I bought it for my son and I to play and now we are stuck somewhere in the game. . .

Any comments?

Ethan

I bought Lego : Star Wars a while ago, I find its gameplay less clumsy than Revenge of the Sith, and it does present a fair challenge.

Which part of it are you stuck on?

Ian W359

[Ethan]

We are stuck on level two (droid factory) of the attack of the clones series. the problem is not how to finish the level. We have actually finished all the levels in all three series. the issue is finding all of the minikits. we have 9/10. We are missing one and we cannot find it. Even with the minikit detector on, we have not figured out where to go to detect it. Can you help me with this?

Ethan :?:

[Ian_W359]

I've located my last 3 canisters on that level (previously my count was 7/10), the locations of these are as follows (you may have found these already).....

1. When you emerge onto the main conveyor belt (and the platform recedes beneath you), jump to the left onto a platform and the canister is on the level above you (you will need Ep. I Anakin or Boba Fett to reach it).

2. In the Geonosians lair, half way through the level, there is a canister in an alcove above the brick 'gate' set into the wall.

3. Near the end of the level, you will come to two conveyor belts in front of a force field, activate the two belts - and they will produce lego bricks to be 'Forced' into a lift (your character should stand on the platform, and your companion will use the Force to lift you up.... from there you will need Jar Jar Binks or General Grievous to jump up and get the canister).

I haven't used the Minikit detector yet, but I have read that it can't detect an offscreen canister.....?

Hope this is of help

Ian W359

[Ethan]

We found those particular three already. My son went on to work on the other levels, but now, I am obsessed with finding out where this phantom Minikit is.

Thanks for all your help though. I am enjoying the game a lot.

Latest PS2 purchases........... (I like bargains, me!)

Ace Combat : Squadron Leader (aka 'Ace Combat 5 : The Unsung War')
I've not played an earth based flightsim/shooter in some time, but this is quite a surprise... atmospheric/emotive gameplay & music (and a reasonable back-story - even if the countries are ficticious), a great bunch of characters/wingmen(& wingwomen), and impressively realistic graphics. (This is where I got my call sign for my sig! :D )

Naval Ops : Warship Gunner
I was somewhat curious about this one......... Well, put aside the kooky plot (WWII destroyer fleet goes through trans-dimensional rift and ends up on a parallel Earth ruled by an oppressive Empire, and is drafted into a guerilla war against the odds....) and you have an entertaining shipborne strategy shooter (with an almost - insanely complex ship design suite - there are hundreds of components available to customise your creations... and there are some strange weapons too.... rail guns, plasma lasers, massive chain guns....?!)

I need to get Ace Combat 5. I have Ace Combat 4, and that game rocks.

When you watch the replays, sometimes it looks so photorealistic. About the only time the photorealism gets lost is when the camera mechanically pans around the planes if they pass overhead in the replay.

I love watching the landing sequences in replay mode.

It also has a two-player dogfight mode...and I think it has a co-op mode as well.

I have run through the game several times, and have bought many aircraft and weapons.

My favorites to use: A-10 Warthog, F-14, F-15 Active.
Favorite secondary weapons: Unguided Bomb! (UGBD) This baby does damage on a widespread scale..and it takes some skill to use. Nothing more satisfying than lining up three or four targets in your little bombing reticle, dropping the bomb, and then seeing a damage report pop up on the screen, especially if the DR lists about three or four targets hit. :D

I have also been recently replaying SOCOM II: US NAVY SEALS, in anticipation for SOCOM III for the PS2...and SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo for the PSP, which will have connectivity features for SOCOM III. :D

Also anticipating Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Depends which system (I, sadly, have way too many):


Sony PSP: PSP movie Super Troopers, Final Fantasy 6 on the memstick (I love homebrew) - Super Troopers is great if you love mindless screwball comedy, and of course Final Fantasy 6 is just classic.

Nintendo DS: Advance Wars Dual Strike - An astounding game that makes great use of the Dual Screen, the turn based nature of the game plays out like a well played game of chess - But with Tanks!!! Super fun and super addictive.

Microsoft X-Box: Crimson Skies: High road to Revenge - A pretty good flier with lots of replay and cool planes. Plus I needed a break from constant Halo 2. :)

Sony Playstation 2: The best game of all: Katamari Damacy. The premise: Your father, the King of the Cosmos gets drunk and goes on a bender, and while doing so inadvertantly destroys all the stars in the sky. So he sends you( who are this tiny little guy to Earth with a round ball callled a Katamari. I don't know how the ball works, but when it rols over small objects they stick to it. The more objects it picks up, the larger it gets. The larger it gets, the bigger the things it can pick up. The goal is to make your ball of objects a certain size within a certain amount of time per level. It is extremely addicitive and great turnabout when you discover you are large enough to pick up that pesky elephant that has been batting you around half the game . In the last level you start out able to pick up flower pots and end being able to rip whole islands and continants out of the ground. Fun.

Priceless moment in SOCOM II: US NAVY SEALS--

Lining up two terrorists' skulls in your sniper scope sights, and giving 'em both a high caliber asprin with one shot. Probably the sweetest double kill ever in a game.

:D

Sadistically,
Martok2112 :devil:
