someday I am going to sneak up to that catwalk and stealth stab that motherfucker in the head. and the I SAID COME IN, DON'T STAND THERE guy as well, although it probably isn't possible to get into that area for a stealth kill instead of just straight up shooting him in the face and instantly becoming most-wanted for every Dutyer in the Bar.

 

are you playing a mod, amber? I'd strongly recommend one, there's just too many cool mods out there not to try.

 

I could talk about the fun I've had in Stalker all day. two things in fiction that I've always loved are 1. dread of the unknown, and 2. the sense of an impending cataclysm, and Stalker has plenty of both.

 

I've never played any of the mods actually...only the "vanilla" version. There should be a weapon that's actually an artifact that you can throw like a grenade, and turn into a Whirligig anomaly as its form of detonation. So next time some posh catwalk snob tells you to vacate the premises...

My roomates and me have been talking about space games (focused on spaceships, I don't know what can be the name of that kind of games) and we were telling that no one of us really know that kind of game. I used to play to Freelancer A LOT some years ago but I don't feel I'd like to play it again.

 

Do you guys have some recommandations for that ? A game where you are the pilot of a spaceship and where you go through missions that make you earn money, which allows you to upgrade your ship. Or something like that. A not too old game with multiplayer support would be the best

 

thanks !

Eve Online.

Like Obel says. EVE. but the Best space game ive ever played was the X series. personally i love them much more than EVE. the only thing is that it doesn't have any Multiplayer. but really youll never notice cause the game is built like a free-roam multiplayer. and the AI is is outstanding. it literally is EVE with no Online. so other than no Multiplayer, this game is literally what your asking for. but if you must have Multiplayer then you want to get EVE.

Finally finished the original Dead Space on Impossible difficulty... now just to do the Chapter 2 money glitch and get enough credits and buy all the power nodes needed to max out every weapon and get the trophies for those to finally get that Platinum trophy.

 

Then, on to Dead Space 2 - hopefully I'll finish that in time for Dead Space 3 in 2013, lol

 

Also, been thinking about trying a PC game (shock, I know) - is Tera any good? Does it run on a Mac?

The MMO? well it didn't get really any good reviews. i am a little biased when it comes to MMO's though. i hate a LOT of them. But it really is a game that youll like or hate. not really a "Meh, its ok" game. OH, but that really doesn't matter to you. no it will not run on Mac operating systems.

Yeah, I found out after I posted that - and it's a "subscription" game, like World of WarCrap. No thanks.

EVE is a very different game than Freelancer. You need to put a lot of time into it to get to the point where things get interesting and it's not action oriented like Freelancer is. No manual flight controls. X3 is ok, so is Darkstar One. But neither are as good as Freelancer.

X3 is quite close to that, but it's incomplete and clearly broken in parts. I also found it stupidly difficult and tedious (grind-y). and it has annoying elevator music, though the visuals are kind of nice.

 

kept telling myself I'd revisit it but never did.

thats kinda true about the difficulty. its extremely hard at the beginning (no matter the difficulty you choose) but once it gets going it really gets going. but which one did you play?

has anyone played project zomboid? that shit is the bomb

Thanks for the recommendations. I think I'll try EVE, I wanted to do so for a while. The fact it's not focused on action is not a problem for me. Is it still sold in a xxx money / month format though ?

 

As for the X series, the lack of any multiplayer support is a problem for me as the idea was to play with my roomates.

I'm just finishing on Unchartered 3. I've loved all three of these, this one being my favourite. Although they all have the same sort of battle, climb, battle, climb, run..... actions in each game, each one is better and is still as enjoyable to play.

 

I think the storylines, animation and voice acting are so spot on for this series that it can never be dull. I hope there's more to come.

Nice work JR. Impossible was really tough in a few spots eh? Chapter 2 money glitch? Why the hell was I not informed about this when I was going for the plat? Would've made things much easier I'd assume. It wasn't too bad otherwise I guess. Just took a long time to max everything.

 

I'm playing Splinter Cell HD right now. It's pretty good so far. I'm playing it on hard so I can get a gold trophy for beating the game. It's a little tough as it requires a lot of patience in some parts. But as long as you strategize and take things slow, it's not that bad.

Playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat again since I never really progressed beyond the beginning. It's been a full year since I last played it. Feels more open-ended/sandbox style than its predecessors.

I'm cool with Reznor doing soundtracks. The last two movie soundtracks are way better than anything else he's done since Fragile/Still IMHO...

Plus not forgetting that he was responsible for one of the best (in my opinion) PC game soundtracks of the past with composing the Quake OST.

Looks like a Deadpool game is imminent:

Just got the platinum for Crysis. Now back to Splinter Cell...
