Games you're playing right now, and my freetime's demise

[JaoSming]

So with the 3DTV, I've been trying a lot of different games with it.

Dirt 3 - Crash
NBA 2K12 - omgwtf awesome.....then artifacts randomly
Mirrors Edge - oh, you wanted to throw up? here, play this in 3D
Battlefield 3 - holy shit this is why I got 3D
Burnout Paradise - shit is way to fast for 3D to be enjoyable, crashes are omg though
Gran Turismo 5 - Good
Motorstorm - Good

I've been playing some old games lately:

Need for Speed: High Stakes
RollarCoaster Tycoon with the expansion packs
System Shock 2

Just waiting for 2K13 to drop...

I honestly can't imagine what BF3 in 3D and being high would be like.

What kind of performance hit did you notice with your graphics card moving to 3D?

Long time no see this thread.

Currently, I'm playing:

PC:
- Football Manager 2012 (last game on it, as I've already pre-ordered FM13 and it's due in three weeks).
- Fallout 3 (picked it up on Steam's Summer sale and am almost through it).
- Tropico 4 (another from the Summer Sale, not playing much lately, but nice fun).
- Batman Arkham City (only missing the side quests and challenges, story is done).
- Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 (mostly multiplayer).
- Cities XL 2012 (with Real Highway Mod, User Interface Mod and NeXL transportation mods this game rocks!).
- Half-Life 2 (currently midway the first game).
- Just Cause 2 (re-installed a while ago, I just can't seem to get into it).
- New Star Soccer 5 (random fun).
- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD (remembering old times with "Superman" on the soundtrack).
- Madden NFL 08 (waiting for the 2012 season mod to come out in footballidiot).
- Diablo II (multiplayer with my bro's).
- Star Wars The Old Republic (can't get into MMO's, maybe this'll be the exception)

From Tuesday on, add NBA 2K13 to that list with high priority, if we get a digital download purchase option (I'm just begging for the game to be on Steam, please God, hear me!!).

PS3:
- FIFA 13 (just bought it).

Just Cause 2 (re-installed a while ago, I just can't seem to get into it).

I don't know but I find that game to be enjoyable. Get mods to the grapple wire and make fun of people by attaching them to rockets.

none.

because I gotta go down to 720p for 3D. I can run it at 1080p at 24fps, but no, I'll take 60fps at 720 in 3D over that.

For PC, I'm also playing the BF3 campaign right now, and finishing my 2nd playthrough of Mass Effect 3. And since I gave in and bought a PS3, I'm also playing Uncharted 3 (very impressed by it I gotta say). I also downloaded the NBA2K13 demo for it, and it was pretty damn good.

[Lamrock]

Got Gamefly for the fall months to try the new releases. Tekken Tag 2 is very good - might get it when it goes down in price since it's definitely the best Tekken to date. I also received Resident Evil 6 from them today and I hate it so far. Not scary at all and the game takes control from you way too often. I'll still probably see it through. However, I'm also expecting to get 2K13 in the mail later today, so that and finishing out my 2K12 association will probably occupy my next couple days off.

[Jeffx]

Going to fire up Tekken Tag 2 when I get home!

[shadowgrin]

Comment by some asshat says it all.

[benji]

Oh god, that reminds me of some L4D2 I played recently with these three morons. There was this one dude playing Nick who was just atrocious, I don't think he'd ever played a first person shooter before. Then the guy playing Ellis, it's like he'd never heard someone tell him to run and then actually put his feet to the ground and ran. I won't even mention the last person.

[Oznogrd]

hahahahaha

Was good times. I swear, let me play with a mouse. Or stop playing with AI For awhile where you have to do everything...

[Pdub]

Don't act like you didn't have fun. As grueling as it may have been.

[Qballer]

what game is that?

[jenz]

Left 4 Dead 2. A very addictive game. I just love killing zombies.

[Mattan]

L4D2 also just totally addicting with MODS

[Oznogrd]

we really should have like biweekly NLSC game night with mac friendly games. Until i get my new harddrive and start dual booting

[shadowgrin]

Get a mouse first.

[Pdub]

A controller would even be better than a touch pad. I'm down to play some more of that, though. You guys have yet to see the fun on the harder difficulties.

[dei.]

Will join the fun when I install L4D2...... in a week or so

[Oznogrd]

i have a mouse but i wasnt in a room conducive to using it lol. I got this.

I used to play on normal but with touchpad and shadow i figured it'd be good to go on easy lol.

[Cavs4872]

Are there any new games out there for the 360 that are online and are like Crazy Taxi? I love The Simpsons: Road Rage Head to Head mode, and it would be nice if there were some newer game like that that you could play online. You basically just hit the other player's car to steal their passenger and you're competing for whoever delivers them to their destination.

Pre-ordered XCOM Enemy Unknown, pretty solid game. The tactical gameplay is awesome, however I'm not a big fan of the other strategic elements with the base and satellites. I haven't played all the way through yet, but I think next time I'll play on a harder setting. Not sure I could recommend it for the full price unless your a fan of the series. But it is a fun game and it gave me quite a few hours of intense play.

Borrowed Dishonored from friend. So far it's awesome, definitely has a Bioshock (maybe my favourite game of all time) vibe to it. Seems like a really polished game, doesn't restrict you in any way at all, multiple ways to approach a scenario. The Bioshock meets Metal Gear Solid description definitely fits. Surprisingly I like the additional "magic" elements of the game.

Still pick up 2k13 from time to time, as well as tinker with Technic Pack (Minecraft) when I'm truly feeling like a procrastinator.

Picked up sleeping dogs for half off yesterday, then I find that you can get 3 games for free if you buy a new amd video card from certain retailers. The games are sleeping dogs, hitman: absolution, and far cry 3.

Only dilemma is that I want to go the nvidia route for my next card, and don't feel that I need to upgrade just yet.

Ah well, I can always wait and save more money and buy the other two games when they come down in price.

[el badman]

I only played the PC demo, but I thought Sleeping Dogs was surprisingly fun and polished. Now I just don't know if I'll get it for PC or PS3, probably the latter since the gameplay kinda reminded me of the Batman games, which were much better with a gamepad.

[benji]

Why wouldn't you still just get it on PC? And use a gamepad...

A friend of mine picked it up recently and I was quite impressed. I've been thinking of picking it up myself sometime in the not too distant future, when I come across a cheap copy.

[el badman]

Sorry, that was a little half assed... My point was that if I'm gonna be using a gamepad, which i rarely do as a PC gamer, might as well play the game on a 40" screen instead of a 24", especially since i don't think the PC version can really be modded.

About to play Doom 3: BFG Edition for the first time, I hear it has pretty good 3D effects when it's active.

here is a comparison of the original Doom 3 and Doom 3: BFG Edition

[Pdub]

Not much difference other than lighting improvements. That's Doom 3 and not Doom 4, btw.

[Mattan]

Oops typo there sorry

[shadowgrin]

here is a comparison of the original Doom 3 and Doom 3: BFG Edition

lol what a fucking cash grab from iD Soft.
As Pdub said one of the difference is lighting and it looks like they finally fixed that stupid 'you can only hold a flashlight or gun' system.
It's like they finally admitted what a bonehead idea that was. Mankind is technogically advanced to have a colony on Mars and yet they can't figure out how to put a flashlight in a damn gun.

[JaoSming]

This stupid fuggin' game for iOS



NFS: Hot Pursuit (Criterion) to prepare for Most Wanted this week
2K13 online & NCAA

been wanting to get some Sims in....but I just don't have the time to take care of virtual babies.

[Lamrock]

NBA 2K13 and Twisted Metal 2. Words With Friends and Flow Free on the phone. RE6 when I'm really bored.

[shadowgrin]

Will join the fun when I install L4D2...... in a week or so

Teamwork!


Can't even throw a gas tank without falling from the 2nd or 3rd floor.


Random teammates left us with AI players, I didn't even know people rage quit at L4D2.

[JaoSming]

I love the Internet, and it loves me too



so, that, random other crap

[buzzy]

chink fags.
no wonder yingyang722 abandoned you

[Lean]

Currently playing Assassin's Creed 3 on the PC.



There are somehow new controls. Obviously I'm still used to the old control scheme.

[shadowgrin]

Look at you, pushing those women when you didn't even need to.

[Andrew]

The Internet does itself proud once again.

[Lean]

It's better, IMO, that there's no more animation where you stumble because you bump into people. "Gentle" push and freerun is merged into one for AC3.

This computer can play PS2 games at full speed with PCSX2


oh god, the NBA Street texture mods I can make....

[formyhunny]

:shock: This computer can play PS2 games at full speed with PCSX2


oh god, the NBA Street texture mods I can make....

I found out mine can do that a year ago.

[benji]

Yeah...PCSX2 made some huge leaps in performance over the last year or so.

[Andrew]

Real noice.

[Pdub]

I've been playing almost nothing but the Dayz mod for several weeks now. If anyone plays, I stick to the doormanisgod private hive that has the mod for max vehicles. I stick to Chernarus but have been leaning towards trying Namalsk and Panthera.

On another note, Ubisoft is the worst. I just picked up Far Cry 3 and I can't even play it do to it's faulty Uplay system which can't even connect to it's own server to activate my key.
Played a bit of Dead Island to try and catch up with a couple of friends who recently bought it. I never initially finished it even though I enjoy it.

[benji]

FTL is on sale. Everyone should buy FTL. (Buy from their site and get both DRM Free AND a Steam key. Or just get it on Steam.)

[Cod]

I'm finally getting to my backlog of games on Steam and have been addicted to Bastion the past few days. By far the best indie game I've ever played. The music and voice acting is better than 95% of AAA games. Y'all should definitely give it a try.

[shadowgrin]

But I heard adding games to your Steam Library and not playing them is how the cool kids do it.
