What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

I have though - http://forum.watmm.com/topic/75676-what-video-games-are-you-currently-playing-part-ii/?p=1984006

It's that time of the year again, so I'll start playing Half-Life² _{again tomorrow}

"Wake up, Mr. Freeman

Wake up..

And smell the ashes"

I started playing the Black mesa mod again the other day. It's a shame the developers didn't try to do something new with the game . Half life 1 is great, but its proper old and there's many bits in it that suck that didn't need re-creating. The enemies even spawn in the same places as they do in the original.

I know its supposed to be a true conversion of HL1 but that's the reason why its a boring game to play. Amazing achievement though, I know.

Hey that looks pretty great! I really don't mind playing through games like half-life every once in a while, even though I already know the game. I do understand where you're coming from.

Have you ever played Limbo? It's a completely different game, but still a lovely feat.

I need to get around to playing that mod, HL1 is old but I still really love it. I tried downloading it twice last month and it was corrupted from 2 different mirrors. Where did you get it from?

Gave up on Metal Gear Rising, great game but either my controller is fucked or some of the moves require a little too much precision that's nigh on impossible.

Loving Dead Space 3 a the mo although there's a lot of running around and the weapons build thing gets a little tedious.

I have played Limbo yes, I have no idea why HL reminded you of Limbo however hah

I got the torrent from here. The other links should work though.

http://www.blackmesasource.com/download.html

You have to download the source 2009 SDK thing from 'TOOLS' on steam to get it to work. After that, close steam, and run the BM setup and it should automatically appear on your steam games list after that

Yeah I recommend getting it through the torrent as well - It'll check the file integrity whilst it's downloading so you shouldn't get any corruption.

Will do, thanks.

NEO Scavenger. Looks awesome in a super detailed masochistic kind of way.

I thought you left? Anyway, glad you are back!

Bought the new Batman game thinking it was a Rocksteady game. Ugh. :( It might have the same gameplay mechanics but it doesn't have the level design, story or set pieces. Feels like a budget Rocksteady game. Why did I buy this. Warner Bros showing their true colors...

oh man. i did the same thing.

which is a damn shame, because i adore all the other metal gear solid games. i even really enjoy Vanquish (i didn't exactly finish it. just played a whole lot of it last summer during sweaty confusing 40 degree heat and i loved it).

but yeah, i stunk at metal gear rising and gave on it pretty early on. i just couldn't get my head around the controls or mechanics : |

played a bit of MEGA MAN UNLIMITED today.

download

http://megaphilx.com/?page_id=1003

a fan made 8-bit mega man game that's actually pretty perfect. i found the difficulty to be harder than the original mega man games (in particular, the length of the levels is a bit rich with only one or two checkpoint sparingly spread with great lengths of difficult gameplay in between). the music, and graphics, and controls, and overall style and feel of the game is spot on. what also is pretty remarkable is that the game feels fresh and innovative. it takes risks and has fun gameplay elements in its level and enemy design, that it actually feels like a fresh new legitimate mega man sequel, as opposed to a fan made clone or homage.

definitely recommending it to any mega man fan. it definitely plays better than the capcom released (..endorsed?) street fighter x mega man. and seems even better and fresher than mega man 9 and mega man 10. definitely better than mm 10, at least.

For any Monster Hunter players out there, MH4 for 3DS will feature Link and Mario/Luigi skins for your character. Pretty cool to see Link face off in a real RPG.

That's pretty manipulative and awesome !

Raptor: Call of the Shadows from 1994. But I might have posted this already.

Best 2D aerial arcade shooter I've played. I hope some indie company makes a reboot of it one day.

Rome 2: Total War.

im a huge nut for the total war series, specifically Rome and Medieval 2. but i felt that Shogun 2 was a big disappointment. They really stepped it up in Rome 2 though. This game is friggin amazing. probably the best of them all.

holy shit old gods is so awesome. managed to pull off a war of subjugation on my norse neighbors, and took over all of scotland in one go. got SUPER lucky, considering just as i declared war, 3 of his counties decided to rebel.

then i sacrificed all the prisoners i took in the war to odin to ensure good crops! fuck yes.

thats the most metal thing ive heard in a while.

Zelda Windwaker HD is melting my brain. sorry I missed it the first time.

EVE Online.

Started up Dark Souls again after a few months of inaction. Apparently Im in the middle of NG+, and man I had a rude awakening. Got invaded and had absolutely no idea how to fight against this one guy with a spell that knocked me over every time, setting him up for a backstab.
