What Are You Playing?

[AfghanAnt]

What games are you currently playing and what games do you see yourself playing in the fall with the release of DirectX 10 there are a lot of really amazing game for the PC on it's way.

Also are you guys playing any mods or anything? Civ's Fall from Heaven, Jedi Knight's Open Jedi Project, whatever else?

I ask because I want to get the games people are play and have large fan-base around on the site. We are a game mod site but I see a real lack of some of the games I play (freedom force) or games my friends play (the sims) and I want to try to get easily accessible content on the site. Older games are losing content everyday to sites closing and creators vanishing.


Also what do you think is missing from the site?

Anyway thanks to anyone who offers feedback.

I haven't really looked at what new PC games are coming out, but I do know Starcraft II comes out in October.

Console-wise, I'm stuck with my PS2 as I can't afford a next gen system. I'm looking forward to Smackdown vs. RAW 2008. Provided the CAW mode doesn't suck as badly as 2007's and they have the commentary and introduction glitches worked out, that is.

Not playing any PC games at the moment - I've even been taking a break from City of Heroes - but am playing Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition on my PS2.

You mentioned the Sims. I played that and got all the expansions except the last one. Got burned out and fed up that most of the good downloadable content made by players were on paysites (I did subscribe to both Simfreaks and 8th Deadly Sim for a while, though), and have never gotten The Sims 2 because unlike the first game, the prices of the main game and the expansions have not gone down after new expansions were released and I am wary of the same problem as before (ie, paysites having the best content).

Thx for replying GM.

I've got one more question:

How many of you are currently still playing FF or FFVTR?

[gengoro]

Currently playing Oblivion for 360 and replaying Gears of War.  Also playing Valkyrie Profile 2 for PS2.  Plan on getting King of Fighters XI, Assassins Creed and maybe Virtua Fighter 5 in fall.  Not playing any PC games since I kinda gave up on PC gaming. 

Once in a while I play FFvTTR.  Dont play FF much since its on my old pc but I do hook it up and play it now and then.

Great news! PS3 is "dropping" the price by $100! Hahahaaha, yeah, Im still not getting one either.

Right now Im playing:

Civ 4 with Visa mod on Lan. The guy who hosts the games plays on VISTA so we rarely get to the 1900's without crashing.
Stalker: a great game that is not recieving enough press because it wasent made in the US or Japan.
Sims 2: Seasons because Im tough, that that's what tough men play. Now to download some more accessories for my kittens!
:ffvstr: Seriosly I wont play it for a few months and then I get sucked back in. Im sucked back in right now.

Will be playing:

Civ 4 Beyond the sword (probably on LAN too): I wont get sick of it. It rocks.
Medieval 2 expansion Forgot the name but yeah, medieval 2 is another game that got shafted in awards yet rules so much.
Company of heroes expansion are you guy's noticing a trend here? I love strategy. Also like another person said: Command and conquer 3 made me realize how much I love company of heroes. It's not just realistic, it's a style of gaming that is fun for strategy nerds.

Perhaps one day...

Crysys. Duuuuuuude. I will need an entirely new computer, and by posts I read I know I have one of the better ones on the forum.
Spore You know... when the announce a date. Again.

[XLR8er]

i play  :ffvstr: whenever i feel like
i am currently playing soldier front right now

ps3 price dropped 100$?

i heard about it says that will be 499$ til september

don't wanna get one yet til there are better games for it.

[GogglesPizanno]

I find that I tend to go back to older games more than play new ones.
Partially in that a lot of the new games seem to be style over substance, but also cause I have an older machine that I have no intention of upgrading to Vista or DX10 (my poor video card would die)-- Maybe when i get a new machine at some point in the future.

Of the new-ish ones I'm playing:
Oblivion (with minimal detail settings)
Starshatter: The Gathering Storm (with the Battlestar Galactica Mod)

Older Games:
Operation Flashpoint
FFvTR (yep still fire it up)
Battle for Westnoth (Open Source)

The way I heard it is that the 60gig is going to sell for $499 until supplies run out, then they are introducing a $599 slightly better ps3 (say an 80 gig or something). BUT I heard they are taking out the backwards compatibility tech since it was too expensive.

[XLR8er]

well i think thats retarded
wii is better cause of the games and is for grownups too :thumbup:

I have been playing some. Mostly I've been playing CoH and Lord of the Rings Online. However, since my wife and I both play -- and we haven't played CoH much since LOTRO went live -- we will probably be suspending the CoH accounts and focusing on LOTRO. If so, I will be back in FF much more for my superheroing (I like FF1 better than FFVTR; far more FX and danger maps available for the first game.)

[Carravaggio]

I play nothing. I have about 40 games for the PC i have never played because my education takes up too much damn time...and maybe thats part of the reason games and mod communities dry up and blow away, we dont have as much time. i find the older i get the less time i have for me, and consequently my hobbies. i haven't sat down to just draw for months.
If i had tome to play, it would be Guild Wars, in preparation for EOTN, Dawn of War because its beautiful and so true to the 40k universe in terms of style, and City of Heroes/Villains, because i want my cape, dammit!

[UnfluffyBunny]

armoured core 4 and tenchu Z on the 360
secondlife on the PC

[psychopanda]

I'm not much of a gamer lately. I just dusted off my PS2 and played some Spider-Man 2 the other day. I have a bunch of older games that I enjoy, but never seem to have the time to go back and finish.

The last PC game I got hooked on was Oblivion.

I don't play FF/FFvtTR as I would need to reinstall everything after the last hard drive crash.

We've talked about getting a Wii.

The PC game I'm most looking forward to, is Spore.

[detourne_me]

:ffvstr: Seriosly I wont play it for a few months and then I get sucked back in. Im sucked back in right now.

me too.  exactly.
i'm also currently playing Spider-man 3, and Transformers for PC.
i occasionally load up Punisher, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and GTA San Andreas too.

I'm really out of the loop on games,   i know i like super heroes, so thats what i usually play.  if there was a really decent space pirate type game,  like the old wing commander series but more free-roamy i'd play that,  same with a giant monster/giant robot action game.

[ubergreendragon]

What i play now in order of most often
1)Everquest 2
2)Medieval 2:Total War
3)FFVTTR -naturally
4)Sim City 4
5)Neverwinter Nights 2

What i plan to play in the future when they come out
1) more everquest 2 expansion  :P
2) more medieval 2 expansions
3)Spore- when it comes out eventually
4)TNA wrestling game- whenever it comes out 

I dont own a recent console not even a PS1 just my N64 i play WWF:No Mercy cuz its still a decent wrestling game i wish they would come out with an online wrestling game for PC that isnt name branded like WWE TNA etc...mabye something where you can build the whole Wrestling Organization from scratch from the wrestlers and titles to the ring/arenas and the moves but its just a dream .... :(

Second Life
On occassion Dreamfall

[zuludelta]

- NBA 2K7 (PS2)
- Fight Night: Round Three (PS2)
- XIII (PS2)
- Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)

The most recent PC games I played were probably Rainbow Six 3: Ravenshield, Halo, Half-Life 2, and Max Payne 2. The last mod I downloaded was probably a "kung-fu" mod for the original Max Payne game.

[style]

 :ff: :ffvstr: FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wacko:

[Revenant]

Well I've been playing Marvel Nemesis lately, it's grown on me... I just wish there were some more characters in the game.  It's a pretty good fighting engine.  It could use a little more diversity for the character moves but the control and graphics are pretty good.

[Zippo]

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition: Because the only thing better than RE4 is MORE RE4.

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade: Because it's a great game to LAN with 7 other friends.

[Sword]

I'm currently still playing Kirby:Squeak Squad, Mario and Luigi Partners in Time and Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

[Haljack]

I'm currently still playing Kirby:Squeak Squad, Mario and Luigi Partners in Time and Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Was playing Hulk for the umpteen time but then I got a Wii and its been Zelda and Wii Sports.

[Pyroclasm]

World of Warcraft
Mostly the Darkspear server.  Main is named "Marokite" of the "Divine Retribution" guild.
Right now that's all I the time I have.

[lugaru]

Anyone get Civ 3 Beyond the sword yet? Tomorrow when it's a proper hour to be awake I'll try to start a thread with a quick review. In a few words it's great though, cosmetically alters the game a lot and the new espionage and religious options are pretty awesome too.

Ouch. And I thought I'd fallen behind because of my education taking up too much damn time myself, but you got me beat by about 30 or more. Whew.

PC: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (which I have had to start over from the beginning due to a glitch...razza frazza)

Nintendo Gamecube:
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (I havn't played it in six months, but nontheless)
Resident Evil (never played the original release, and I'm only about two days in, put I'm pretty damn impressed by the GCN version)

Game Boy Advance
Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (probably havn't played THIS in in 7 months)
Sword of Mana (about 5 or 6)
Pokemon Emerald version

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition: Because the only thing better than RE4 is MORE RE4.

Hellz Yeah! And I havn't even played RE4 yet, and I still say that.

[El Condor]

City of Heroes/Villains (surprise!  ;)). I only have space for one time-consuming game in my life. However (for those of you who don't stroll down to the bottom of the forums), CoH/V has been pretty active recently with a couple of very substantial content updates that have changed the game significantly.  I've only played since September of last year, and I'm struck by how different the game-world is, even since then.  Not bad for a three-year old PC game.

[XLR8er]

resident evil four for wii?
i've bought it yesterday, i'm currently taking a break from it
my arm is pretty worn out from the controller. i got up to where you have to find to havles of a key and insert them to the door, so i can get inside the church!

darn you guanados!
(can't spell it)

[TheMarvell]

PC: World of Warcraft. Been playing for about a year now. Have 2 level 70's, one Tauren Shaman and one Night Elf Druid. It's been fun, but in that year of playing, I've purchased other games i haven't even touched yet. So I canceled my account for now. I might possibly play it again once the new expansion comes out, which hopefully will not be for a while.

PS2: Just finished Bully. If you're a fan of Rockstar games, this one is pretty damn fun once you get into it.

Xbox: StarWars Republic Commando. Just started this one tonight for about two hours, and so far I really like it.

Games I've purchased since playing WOW but have hardly touched: The Warriors (PS2), Viewtiful Joe (PS2), Hitman Contracts (Xbox), Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Xbox), GTA Vice City Stories (PS2). Most of these were mega cheap.

Out of all those untouched games you have, I recomend Viewtiful Joe.  It has great gameplay, a sense of style, and is probally the more unique of the unplayed games you own.  You may not like it that much if you're against 2-D or 2.5-D games though.
