My most sincere apologies, I certainly meant no offense. I don't own any of the rest of the MW games and have never played the paper(?) RPG from FASA (or are they Wizards of the Coast now?) which the story came from. I do agree on the terrible acting. I cringe during parts of it. Now I just fast forward through it.Quote:

Well, I really, really liked the intro of MW4. The acting may have not been the best but the animations of the mechs and fighting scenes I really liked.Quote:

Mercenaries is definately worth a pick up. It relies now more on the monetary gains of battle, which makes headshots all the more worthwhile (especially when you get a headshot on a Dire Wolf or a Timber Wolf, because (obviously) Clan mechs are superior to IS mechs. It also places more emphasis on a more diverse range of teammates.
And you dont even have to win the game. You can play unlimited battles in the Arena to rack up points in various weight classes.
There are even optional paths you can take, such as...
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
EDIT: And don't forget to look for the Mech Packs. They were "expansions" to the MW4 games that included five Mechs in each of them. One pack for the Inner Sphere, one for the Clans. They are rare nowadays and you will most likely only find them on ebay, but they are worth it. They can be used in either MW4 or Mercenaries.
Thank you.Quote:

The bad acting is what I was referring to. The "campaign" was also very restrictive and annoying. I much preferred the campaign in MW2 as either Wolf or Jade Falcon. The IS did not come into MW2 at all, it was purely clan. The landscapes were haunting looking, bleak moons and isolated bases. The missions were straighrforward and without the annoying scripted sequences. There was no resource management or salvage involved, this is what imho marred MW2: Mercenaries which, despite a massive range of chassis and weapons, was flawed in many other respects (CTDs). All of the usual suspects were present in MW2, the Hellbringers (lokis), Summoners (Thors), Direwolves (Daishi), Kit Foxes (Uller), Timberwolves (Madcats) etc. The main differences were the lasers, they were star wars style rather than true laser style, and the graphics. The PPCs were also quite funny in that they're like two large low velocity fuzzy silver balls, and the gauss projectile is like one smaller polished silver ball that breaks up feebily when it hits the target. The damage these weapons do is worth the compensation however. The same heat management exists, as does the weapon grouping alpha strikes and mech bay for customizing the weapons load. You could place anything inside a mech in any position, which was somewhat unrealistic, but added to the flexibility alot. The interface was much more intuitive than the MW4 one. If you can pick up the MW2 3dfx Interactive Edition on ebay, it's definitely worth it. To run it on a modern graphics card though you'll need a Glide Wrapper program and some luck.Quote:

Took the idea from Martok and tried installing Birth of the Federation on a widescreen XP laptop. Definite issues with the standard patch (botf102e), the sound was all messed up, the games options corrupted, and the game hung as soon as a campaign was started. Searched around, found the XP patch, and fired up a Klingon campaign, no problems. A little rusty on the tech tree, but having fun abusing the Cardassians. :klingon:
:2thumbsup:
Ironically, I'm now playing a Cardassian campaign. I teamed up with the Ferengi to take out the Federation, and have now teamed up with the Klingons to take out the Romulans. As a result, we are now in a three-way alliance with each other (the Fergs & Klings only have an affiliation treaty, but they're still on good terms with each other); and we will all "win" as soon as the Romulans are eliminated. Talk about your strange bedfellows.... :inquisitive: :laugh4:
PC: I'm currently playing MnB (with my personal little mod) and M2TW (2nd camp). I don't have much time for games for almost a year now.
PS2: my PS2 has been collecting a few layers of dust. The last game I played was DW4.
Next games on the "to play" list: CoH2 and ArmA
Edit: for PS2, I may get Spartan to complete the set and may be playing it sometimes.
C6C Renegade in SP when the modem doesnt work
I quite like AoE III...ok its not realistic fair enough but its a darn good game to play online!Quote:

Downloaded the new release of Fourth Age: Total War. It's excellent.
im playing:
Command Conquer first decade
Rtw gold +alexander
MTw gold
STW gold
Oblivion
Black and white 2
EB
NTW2
MTW2
i have a lot of free time and live on my pc
lol
Well, I've reinstalled dear old mtw after a year long pause and I'm at the beginning of what's shaping out to be a wonderful Samurai Mod campaign, and all I can say is that I'm very, very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the mod - it's like Shogun TW mk2! Why didn't I get Viking Invasion earlier?!
Ive picked up my Birth of the Federation campaign again just this afternoon... have declared war to the Federation right after the Romulans did (hehe) and I'm right in the middle of absorbing them into the my Dominion Alliance.
There's nothing quite like orbital bombarding a planet full of whining pacifists... Total war! :)
Still haven't seen much of Starfleet - am looking forward to meeting them with my 2 squadrons of Jem'hadar fighters, 2 squadrons of Dominion battlecruisers and one mother of a Dominion battleship!
I've just been playing Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Not a bad game. Nothing special, though. Sort of reminded me of Severence - Blade of Darkness. The endings were all a bloody anti-climax though. :no:
We got a XboX 360 gaming console at work the other day. We had our first session friday night.
One game : Fight Night round 3 is just excellent. What a game!!!
Never been so into a sports game before. Cudos to the deveopers... it actually takes a little skill to work your boxer around the ring and you can play a host of various styles.
As a previous boxer I was enthralled from the beginning. I could fight with my old style and it was fun to see Evander Holyfield beat Muhammed Ali using a Light-Heavy style of walking around the oponent throwing lot's of jabs. His jabs actually made a difference.
Two lucky Haymakers and Ali was out.
Oh yeah, and I might as well send you my credit card as well, and how about my car keys and watch too?Quote:

Hmm, Oblivion....
EU III.
Is there any other game?
Louis,
Well right now guys, I am having a beautiful relaxing video game break - I really am battle weary - right now I am just playing good old Org mafia in the Gameroom.
I am having a "recycling" period.
The only "new" game I'm occasionally playing is M2:TW
I re-installed GTA : San Andreas, TheGodfather (I never finished it, because I got bored after a while, I'm giving at a second chance now), RTW (mainly because I participate in a PBM, couldn't resist the temptation to start a single player campaign though), Call of Duty (yup, the first one, still alot of people who play MP I noticed :2thumbsup: Not that I am any good at it.), Far Cry (I never bothered to finish it because of the save game system which annoyed me) and Oblivion (never removed it, but I didn't play for several months, I had to stop playing because of real life phenomena)...
And now I see this threads in the Arena about KOTOR, KOTOR II and Morrowind... And one day I want to re-play MTW...
I don't have time for new games ! :furious3:
Maybe I should break a leg on purpose: not able to work + able to play games...
Hmmm... :stupido2:
Right now I can't get enough of Marvel Ultimate Alliance on the XBox360. I manage to find 90 minutes every night to continue making progress on it. I also have been getting a regular diet of Civ IV on my PC. We just got a Wii this week, so the family has been competing in bowling every night. I have the new Zelda for it and I need to start that soon. I also have Rogue Galaxy for the PS2 which needs to be shown some love...
The "Pile of Shame" (unplayed or unfinished games) just continues to grow....
Is it that good? Convince me.Quote:

Having got a month's worth of lunchhour play out of it I feel I got my £15's worth.
Wanting a change of flavour before I dive into the SRPG depths of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth I'm now playing Cooking Mama on the DS. Yes, a game about cooking. What's wrong with that? Stop looking at me like that ...

I started another game of Jagged Alliance 2. No idea why - I probably just wanted a squad level tactical combat game and there are none finer. Also, it's one of those games that's easy to dip into and get a lot out of a few 1-2 hours sessions, without having to commit vast amounts of time or thought to. I do have NWN2, M2TW, Civ4 and Oblivion I should be playing, but those monsters seem to have energy activation barriers that are hard to surmount when you are busy with work and other things. You really need to break your leg or something to see them through.
Surely shopping is a key feature of most strategy games and RPGs? I'm off to San Mona in JA2, partly to pay Tony the arms dealer a visit. I also like to surf the JA2 laptop, to see whether Bobby Ray has got any decent kit yet. Yes, shopping is a key feature of most games I like... well, and looting, I suppose.Quote:

I've also been enjoying diplomatic missions which basically are card games that involve you spending points in various categories of persuasion to push the argument in your favor. The stronger an argument (card) the more points it takes to play and they also give points to your opponent to use against you. It's challenging, but probably not as complicated as I made it sound. Everything has it's own sets of equipment as well- fighting, harvesting, diplomacy, ect.
Of course, then there's the 15 or so races and about as many different classes, 3 major continents, flying mounts, ships, player owned houses and who knows what else. I don't know if Ill be able to play enough to make the subscription worthwhile- but for now it's alot of fun. :yes:
Here you can see my current characters as well as level and eq stats.

That reminds me. At a certain time, I had massive amounts of gold in Oblivion. I started to put objects in my showcases in that big house (in Skingrad?). Afterwards, I wanted to have every set of armour, to expose it, watch it. I started to pay attention on clothes. After all, it looks better to walk around in towns wearing expensive shoes, an expensive shirt etc than to walk around in some armor set. My money was disapearing and I started to loot dungeons and such to have more money to be able to buy another set of fancy armour/weapons/clothes...Quote:

Funnily enough after a while I couldn't be botherered selling things and just kept dumping stuff on the floor in my room in the thieves guild, which is rather like real life too I'm afraid..
What we need is a "meaning of life" mod where you can give all your gold away to the poor and find Nirvana, or an "economics" mod where a load of starving peasants loot your house, set up a commune, and bury you in the back garden...:beam:
I did the same in Morrowind and now in Gothic 3 I kept certain types of armour and weapons just for the good looks and so that I can dress appropriately depending on where I am...:sweatdrop:Quote:

Hehe, I only considered the game because I saw a bunch of gamers posting endless love for it on another forum. They made it sound like such fun. Hehe, it was really quite hilarious: a collection of men sat about admitting they felt like freaks buying the game and loving it. I'm the only girl I know of playing it.
And whoever mentioned the game about shopping, go and stand in the corner until you are ready to apologise for suggesting such a horrendus concept! :tongueg: :shivers at the thought of the boredom of shopping now available in a portable, handheld form ready to be inflicted on unsuspecting frogs at any time:

Nostalgia trip time!
I've scored me a free copy of X-Com Enemy Unknown (I had it for the playstation back in the previous millenium) and I'm really getting back into it. A little tip for those Orgahs who find themselves recruited by the men in black... never, never be the first off the Skyranger!
In other news [snip: link to underdogs removed] is a very neat little strategy game which I'm enjoying, although at £0.00 you might want to think about it before shelling out.
EDIT: no links to the Underdogs, please. The site offers for download a lot of games which are, technically speaking, pirated. Froggy.
I loved X-Com and X-Com: Terror From The Deep. I sent so many of my poor special ops to their deaths. Most of them were newbies. :tongueg:Quote:

Does anyone have the new expansion for GalCiv II yet? It recently became available and I'd like to hear about how the game has changed.
Shadow of Rome. Can't get enough of that limb removing good old fashioned fun! Also, Bully, God of War and Pro Evo; I alternate between the 4 at the moment with a bit of Smackdown vs. Raw inbetween.
My ownership of Okami was delayed. The shops in town had none left on release day; alas, that's not a sign that it was selling in bulk. They'd only ordered a couple of copies in. Huh. So I hit amazon, and since it was Friday night when I ordered it was obviously going to take a few days before it arrived.
This is where amphibian stupidity kicks in. Get ready ...
I still have a few colossi left to kill, and I'm enjoying that game a fair bit. But. But but but, I have this nagging craving to play a traditional console Japanese style RPG. Random turnbased battles, manga styling galore, levelling up, one of those mad Japanese plots - the whole works. It's a craving I've been fighting since I hit the last 5 hours of Shadow Hearts weeks ago.
Yes, so, with a couple of days until I get my eagerly awaited Okami, and with Shadow of the Colossus in progress and nearly completed, what do I do?
I start playing Dragon Quest VIII. :wall: A 60 - 120 hour game :wall:
I love it! :loveg: Okami sits untouched, SotC is back in its box, and somehow I've managed to play 16 hours in 8 days.
The plot is basic, a fairytale like concoction about a cursed king and princess tavelling to find the one who laid the curse on them. Yet for all that I'm enjoying it considerably; it has charm, and it's executed so it is frequently funny. The characters are full of personality, aided in good part by the excellent voice acting. The world itself is enjoyable to explore; I've spent so much time wandering about off the roads that I'm overleveled for the point of the game I'm at. The battles are neat; they're fast, no massive animations or such here to drag them out and make then dull. What's more they are big - 4 characters in your party, and up to 8 enemies at once! As you only have 4 characters total you never need to worry about unused characters falling behind. This limited number also allows each character to have more development time and personality devoted to them.
When you don't want to work at advancing the plot there's loads to do; I've found treasure hunting, alchemy (make new items out of old ones), famous monster hunting, a casino, and I know that there's a monster arena where you can pit teams of monsters you have defeated against others to win prizes.
The graphics deserve special mention; as any screenshot will reveal, this game is stunningly beautiful for a PS2 game. It looks even better in motion.
Anyone else played it?
Mount & Blade 0.808, Battle for Sicily mod. Fairly cool. Some good concepts; looting, land grants, many factions and cultures. Very fun.
Dropped Metal Gear for Knights of the Old Republic, and finished the Ace Combat 5 campaign in the meantime. I think I'll continue to unlock content there between KOTOR sessions (which seem very unstable).
Oh noes! I started playing Civilisation 4: Warlords again! I am screwed...
Just... one... more... turn...
Hey! I love that game!:2thumbsup:Quote:

Deus Ex and Thief II are the two best games I've ever played, and I suggest them to all!
- Battlefield 2
- Battlefield 2142
- Counter Strike: Source

Played the first Thief Vuk? Even better then the second, much more sinister and dark. Thief 2 has the better fanmissions though.Quote:
