    thought it might be good if we posted what we are currently playing
    ( doesnt have to be a new game once you are still playing it )
    and a lil bit about it - if your stuck for a game to buy could be handy !

    seeing as I recently got my PS2 chiped it has received more attention than my Cube, GBA or PS2...

    PS2

    - Burnout 2 arcade racing at its best, super graphics,insane speeds and addictive gameplay

    - Timesplitters 2 Good single player FPS, but mainly playing the challanges and super frantic multyplayer with bots

    - Enter The Matrix Meh...what can I say..a bit **** but its the matrix ! :)

    Gamecube

    - Zelda+Metroid were last things I played on my luverly cube - I highly reccomend Metroid and to a lesser extent Zelda

    PC

    -Rise Of Nations Good RTS with lots of new ideas which work well , allthough in the end it does come down to build + rush as fast as you can on many occasions

    -DAOC ( Dark Age Of Camelot ) Ive been pretty much playing this on and off since it came out, I can never fully give it up, if your looking for or are new to MMORPGS Id reccomend this - specially with SI exspansion pack

    -Count0r Strike needs no introduction

    now you go :D

    and would it really be worth getting DAOC?

    without the exspansion pack you could pick it up for under 20 euros and the first month is free, WARNING MMORPGS are imo the most addictive games around AND will suckup aLL of your time if you are nto carefull ! you will spend hours and hours playing em but....great fun

    Ill give you a lil taste...

    first you pick a realm...

    1)Hibernia - Lush, Green, full of trees - home to Bogs and massive
    forrests

    2)Midgard - Basically scandinavia , snow , forrestry , caves etc

    3)Albion - Britain, Scotland etc hilly country side, some forests, its your average country :)

    you pick a race and class - all different depending on realm, when you get to LVL 5 you pick a profession, from here on in you either solo or group with other characters and try to lvl to LVL 50 , you can join guilds just like any other mmorpg,

    when you get to 50 you generally craft or RVR ( realm versus realm ) now this is what is really fun , as you can take keeps from opposing realms , keep raids involve loads of players and rams etc storming a keep which will most likely have people inside defending it....

    but anyway, yes its worth geting :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭Dooom


    ghost master's farely good. and as for tradin TTT, sorry wolf but i already have splinter cell for the pc and have no particular urge to get it for the ps2 aswell.

    heh tusky ive had a decent bit of experience with MMORPG's unfortunately :( damn leeches....
    but anyway what does the expansion pack add to it? it sounds farely alright so i might pick it up soon. and when one gets to level 5, and picks a profession, are there many? i mean could i be a ranger? ww)

    Ultima Online. 3 years, 6 months, 28 days. How time flies.

    I finished Serious Sam, I'm currently in the middle of Serious Sam 2 and I plan to start Neverwinter Nights/ Planescape:Torment very very soon. In fact, right now.

    Ooh and Warcraft III to get my juices flowing (nudgenudgewinkwinkfapfap) in time for the Frozen Throne.

    Im playing Front Mission 3 for the PS1 at the moment, this game has insane playtime. Two seperate stories that clock in at about 50 hours each.

    Since i got my cube last week Zelda has been taking up most waking hours and most hours i should be sleeping. in between zelda, work and eating ive also managed to squeeze a good 10 hours out of Parasite Eve, about 10% of Starfox Adventures and enough DoDonPachi to make most normal peoples eyes bleed. im also thinking of giving Kingdom Hearts another chance because i really wanted to like it but the sacharine of the disney just made me want to vomit.
    I also managed to pick up Mario Sunshine, Eternal Darkness and Waverace: Blue Storm for 60 quid today so they have been taken for a spin today to.

    Halo on the xbox - very slick, pretty game. Keeps me away from my bed way too much!
    Zelda on the gamecube.... very addictive, but annoying at the same time.

    PC-
    Fallout 2 - Got it yesterday for 3.99! Pretty good. A little too non-linear for me.
    Old snes rpg's - Best console for rpg's imho
    Hidden & Dangerous - reinstalled this, forgot how good it can be

    GBA -
    Golden Sun: The lost age - Not as good as the first golden sun but still good.(Got it on import from mr. calculator btw, not out here yet)
    Breath of fire - Pretty ****e by today's standards. Awful script.
    Street fighter alpha 3 - Absolutely amazing on the gba. I've always been a street fighter fan.

    I dont have any of the new consoles. I play a bit pf halo at a friends and some smash bros. at another friends house. Both very good.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,056 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    Mario (superb game dunno how noone else likes it)

    what you on ab00t, Mario is a v.popular game !


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    I'm going up against the sheer AI terror of Realbot in Counter-strike until I'm good enough for humans to tolerate the sheer badness of my skilz.

    Also I'm reliving my teens by playing Sim City on my beautiful Sony Clié, which I love.

    And that's about it at the moment. Keep meaning to finish GTA3 and Freelancer.

    SWAT3 is such a good game, Rich. Been playing it for the last weeks but I'm stuck on the sewer level, it's rock hard.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,202 ✭✭✭Swifty

    Suikoden 2
    GTA3
    Final Fantasy Tactics (I'll beat it, someday)

    GBA

    Pokemon yellow.

    GC
