Go on. You know you want to share your inner video game geekiness with everyone. ;D Whether you like console games or computer games, discuss your passion for the electronic arts. 8)
My personal favorites when it comes to computer games are Chex Quest, the Tradewinds series, the Aveyond series, Minecraft, and anything by Nifflas.
Portal and the Phoenix Wright series! And Ghost Trick. :)
I only play one video game, an online computer game called "Poptropica". It's a very creative virtual world where you create a character and go on adventures. Poptropica is both appropriate and challenging for all ages. I strongly recommend it to anyone with too much time on their hands...which is pretty much anyone who is reading this. (Come on, let's face it, you're on a literary forum.)
Poptropica is a really popular site, so most likely everyone knows about it. To be frank, I just wanted to post about it first.
@Lady S: Portal? Great game. Have you played 2 yet?
My favorite computer games (computer=pretty much all I have myself):
Cyan Worlds's games in general, specifically Uru and the Myst Series.
Crysis (awesomest fts ever, Minecraft.
Was addicted to Runecraft for a couple months at one point, haven't played since.
Strategy games as well, including the awesomest of them all, Civilization III.

Nope I haven't finished it yet. I started but haven't had time to sit down and play through the rest.
**cracks knuckles**
Let's see... I'm a big fan of Sid Meier's Civilization series of games. I also play The Sims, Roller Coaster Tycoon, SimCity 4, and... does RedwallMUCK count? I think it does. I mean, sure, it's not video per se, but if you think about it, all the text is just pictures (i.e. visual, ergo video) on a screen.

It's electronic, so it counts. :)
Oh in that case my favorite game is Redwall:Warlords. XD
Actually I'm terrible at the game, I just stick around to admin the place and chat with people.
My favorite games are Final Fantasy 7, The Legend of Zelda; A link to the Past, Star Fox SNES (or just about any rail shooter, for that matter)
Earlier today, I saw a video of a fan game of redwall which seemed like it would be interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgzsNUvHO5c

Intriguing. Good find, bubba. I think I will look into this in the future.
Lessee, I've played some of the Final Fantasy series and I recall being a diehard Kingdom Hearts fan back in high school. Mario Bros and Donkey Kong will always be the best, though! The original series, not that new 3D stuff they've been putting out for the wii and such.
Man, I'm old.
I play lots of console games including Mario kart and smash bros, the only MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game to those who may not know that) i play is LOTRO ( Lord Of the Rings Online). my brother plays portal and portal 2, i haven't played them my self but i want to play them soon.

Quote from: daskar666 on June 17, 2011, 11:34:54 PMSlightly off-topic but video games based on the Redwall books would be perfect!
Plus there could also be an MMORPG/RTS based on the universe.
oooh that would be cool :), a MMORPG/RTS game of redwall, you could have the Abby or Salamandastron as your base, you could choose your race and then do missions.
If someone made a Redwall game, I think I would probably do whatever it took to get it. In the meantime, I guess I can settle for a model of Redwall Abbey in Minecraft.
I don't really play video games, so I don't really have a favourite :o

It's a game of adventure and exploration. You start on a deserted island with nothing, and by adding and removing blocks and building, you get to do more stuff with features in the game. You can build a fortress, cabin, computer, ranch, undergound dungeun, Multi-Tower Ultra-Porkchop Generator (bit different of a build here) or something else. Night time is where monsters in the form of mobs appear. It's a pretty popular and comprehensive game, really.
hmm maby ill give it a shot. do u interact with other ppl or is it all 1p?
It depends whether you play Single Player or Multiplayer, so both.
cool ok. it sorta looks like roblox lolz

Ohh, good to see interest in the older games isn't dead!
I would love a Redwall game. I thought about trying to make one "visual novel" style, but those are so boring that I kinda gave up on the thought. But a game would be so wonderfullll...!
The only describing words I use on this form is awesome, cute and sweet.
I'm not a big video gamer, but I do have a few favourites. I mainly like sports games, like Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010. I also quite like Jurrasic Park: Operation Genesis, despite it's glitches. Great game for its time, still play it for enjoyment and nostalgia. Heard of it? But my all time favourite game is... "Portal"! Haven't managed to get my hands on number 2 yet.
I think I've heard of it - it's one of those track down the dinosaurs and shoot 'em up type games, right?

Oh! I've seen something like that - like a sims game with dinosaurs, kinda. :D Yeah, that'd be cool!

I hear Minecraft a lot. What's it about?
Minecraft is a sandbox game where you can pretty much do whatever you want. Do you like castles? You can build one. You like hunting? Go chase down some pigs or zombies. Exploring strike your fancy? Go ahead and wander hither and yon.
Of course, my telling you what you can do doesn't meany anything unless you read the Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft) and check out the official website (http://www.minecraft.net/). And if you decide that this is the kind of game you'd like to play, I wouldn't count on you being here as often as you are now. This game is ADDICTING.

Why are you still here? Go check it out.
LOL. XD Well shoot, now I have to!
Ahhh..... Video Games..... my favorite topic.....
I have to say Sonic the Hedgehog is my favorite Video Game series. I do play WoW (World of Warcraft), I still play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on my Nintendo 64(Yes, I still own one of those along with a Game Boy Color), I play Little Big Planet, and I play Final Fantasy on my PSP.
I'm trying to stop playing them, actually. I've already stopped playing the D.S, the Game Boy Color, and the Game Boy, but I still need to play two more games on the Advanced and then quit that as well.
I'm planning on stopping my playing on the Ps3 and Ps2, but I need to first get a new copy of The Force Unleashed, because my copy of the game is scratched in many places. I'm planning on going from there and playing my games back until the first one that I got for the Ps3 (which was Armored Core 4) and then doing the same process for the Ps2 (my 2nd to last game being Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and then my very 1st being LEGO Star Wars.)
And then.....
FFFFFRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*edited for screen stretching*
I don't know if anyone has written this game yet, but the legend of Zelda games are pretty fun. Especially wind waker and twilight princess
The Legend of Zelda is my favorite game! I think..
I like Ocarina of Time, because it is the only I have!
I like old video games.
Scout of Salamandastron is another good one, available on Project S.L.A.G.A.R.
I'm playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 a lot now, which is surprising, I don't really like Star Wars much. Or non-sport-related video games. Am I going mad? ???
I'm currently playing Pokemon Black and Ocarina of Time 3D (first Zelda game ever! loving it!). I also re-played nearly the whole of the first Harry Potter PC game today.
I've decided not to wait until I get a new copy of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to quit playing video games. I'm going to do it tomorrow! Wish me luck!
anyone heard of astro empires its an online awsome tactiction futeristic game kinda like star wars
The attempt at quitting at playing video games met with:

No one can keep me away from Metal Gear Solid.
I replayed Portal Friday afternoon/night. Took me about 4 hours to complete since I didn't recall all the solutions. :P
^ I think it would take me way longer than 4 hours, I have a really bad memory.
I bought a new DS game yesterday! Does anyone know those Taiko no Tatsujin games? No...? Just me?
MW3 all tha way 8)
I finished Portal for the first time just then. On the Xbox 360, not PC, my brother owns The Orange Box. I stopped playing halfway through a while back as I was getting so frustrated at it, but then I started it again and finished! Best video game ever. GLaDOS is now my favourite video game character. And the song at the end made it feel even better (even though I've seen it so many times on YouTube). Anyway, now on to Portal 2!
Assassin's Creed and Minecraft!!!
i have xbox 360 slim and i luv assassins creed!
zelda FTW!!!!!!! I WANT SKYWARD SWORD! hope i get it for christmas...
Bought myself "Portal 2" for $50 for the Xbox today. Can't wait to get started on it!
who's played evony?
Since most people play video games nowadays, I was curious as to which ones were everyone's favorites, or which ones changed a person's outlook on a genre or the way games are made.
I tend to enjoy brighter palettes, like Pikmin and Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Cave Story is also one of my favorite games, and I find Animal Crossing is a lot of fun too.
I tend not to like First-Person Shooter games very much, because most of them seem to be very much the same under the surface, but I enjoy playing multiplayer with my brothers sometimes.
eh, wii ;D
I bought Half Life 2 on sale and played it quite a lot over the Christmas break. I haven't played it since I got back from holidays, though. It's downright creepy in some parts! I can't believe I missed it when it first came out.
right now im playing total miner on xbox live
I'm playing Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones for the fourth time now. :B
Though it's the first time I've played it on my 3DS. Before I played my GBA copy, but I pre-ordered my 3DS, so I got the free games from the price drop. Totally worth it.
I just got Portal 2 and am loving it. I think I'll finish it within the next couple days - I'm on Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You. This is my main current obsession. ?
@DanielofRedwall: Did you know that the official Portal 2 soundtrack is available for free on the official site? Here it is (http://www.thinkwithportals.com/music.php).
Getting close to the end of Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - I'm on the third part of the Song of the Hero.
Also playing Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones on my 3DS. Never played a Fire Emblem game before, but I'm loving it - I think I'm starting to like turn-based strategy games, I'd never really heard of them before getting this ipod game called Highborn. It's taking me forever to finish, because I don't want any character to die - their death quotes make me feel like a bad person for letting them die. :<
Thanks for the link, Dawnwing, I just downloaded it! Now to figure out how to get it on iTunes...
I also have the Portal 2 soundtrack on my computer. I need to figure out how to convert it into a format that will allow me to import it to iTunes, but I think I need an rar. file program, which are either expensive, or Eset says are buggy, so I'm kind of stuck. :I
I can put them on my 3DS SD card and play them in the music app though, so I still benefit. One of my favorites is the Turret Wife Serenade.
I've played both Portal and Portal 2, but my enthusiasm always seems to peter out before I finish. ;_;
I suggest you try Advance Wars. It's a bit different, since it's not an RPG, but I find it takes more forward-thinking than Fire Emblem. In my opinion, Advance Wars 2 is the best incarnation if you can get ahold of a copy and still have one of the earlier generations of the DS or a GBA.
think zelda skyward sword best thing i have ever played the graphics are epic
the storyline is great like in all zelda games the bosses are hard perfect game for a gamer like me
I'm finding Skyward Sword rather boring, actually. It's still a fun game, but nothing makes it stand out against other LoZ games. For the record, Wind Waker is my favorite in the series, followed by Twilight Princess, then Minish Cap, then OoT.
My favorite is Twilight Princess, followed closely by WindWaker and Majora's Mask. I love being a Zora in Marjora's Mask. It's so fun to swim around!
I've finished "Portal 2" just then, now for my complete analysis! I'll compare it to the original:
WARNING: SPOILERS!
GAMEPLAY
In terms of gameplay, "Portal 2" gets the cake here (see what I did there?). "Portal" was much shorter (you could complete it in an hour if you remember all the combinations) and there aren't as many hazards. "Portal 2" has much better gameplay. It's stacks longer and the new hazards and things to help you makes it a lot more fun.
STORYLINE
Again, "Portal 2" wins here. "Portal" doesn't really have much of a storyline, you just finish test while being led by a corrupt robot. At the end, you kill her. In "Portal 2", you are led by a personality core, following his instructions while trying to appear like nothing is happening in front of GLaDOS. Then, you put Wheatley in charge and he goes corrupt. You then have to help GLaDOS (who is a potato at the time!) get back in power. Yep, "Portal 2" wins.
CHARACTERS
Well, both games have pretty much the same characters, so it's hard to judge. "Portal 2" does have Wheatley, and I cracked up laughing at the Space Core. I guess "Portal 2" wins here.
Humour
"Portal" was much funnier and all-round quotable, in my opinion. GLaDOS was simply epic in that game. But there were still plenty of funny moments in "Portal 2", like Cave Johnson's ant about life giving you lemons.
CREDIT SONG
"Portal" wins here. "Still Alive" I found much funnier then "Want You Gone". Still, "Want You Gone" was good.
Verdict
While both games were awesome, I think "Portal 2" was the better of the two.
I've definitely had a lot of favorite videogames over the years. Here's the ones that stood out most for me (plus the systems I played them on), in the order I played them:
Jazz Jackrabbit (DOS) - I'm not much a fan of fast-paced platforming (only reason I tried Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was because Tails was in it), but I made an exception here because of Jazz, the green Rambo-like rabbit. Its enemies and worlds were just more appealing to me than other stuff out there.
Ecco the Dolphin (PC) - I may not be a fan of the hard difficulty (I keep it on Easy), but I love everything else about it. For whatever reason, my mind went wild at the thought of controlling a dolphin underwater. The visuals are good, the music is absolutely stunning, the cutscenes were awesome for the time. I've routinely called the Ecco soundtrack my favorite videogame soundtrack, it really is the kind of music I like best.
Wario Land II (Game Boy) - I love the Wario Land series for having diverse gameplay, but starting with the 2nd game I really came to appreciate the level design. Really, each level is more like a puzzle. That Wario can't die lends itself to the puzzle aspect. Every time I'd try to do something unexpected like leap left when it wants me to go right, I'd bump into a wall juuust tall enough. The level design forces me to get through the levels properly. Multiple paths through the game too. The 3rd game added the trick of giving you new abilities along the way so you can return to previous levels to get at a treasure chest that used to be out of reach. Still, the 2nd game is when I saw the potential the Wario Land series can have. Wario now seems synonymous with accessible, crazy, and addicting gameplay. I'd rather go with that than a Mario game, Wario just has more personality.
Secret of Mana (SNES) - My pick for favorite game overall. It's easy to just jump into with its unique battle system, I love the environments (because I really like forest areas), the music is soothing. What attracted me most of all was the dragon Flammie. Using a dragon as transportation (a cute one at that) just can't be beat. I'll admit that Chrono Trigger has a lot more to offer and I found that to be a better game, but my loyalty lies with SoM.
Star Fox (SNES) - It'd be several years before I became good enough at this game to get anywhere in it... and once I did, I welcomed the challenge. I always felt the first Star Fox had the best atmosphere, and I can appreciate the high challenge as being preferable to the easy challenge of Star Fox 64.
Pilotwings 64 (N64) - Everyone remembers their first time playing the first hang glider mission ("Albatross Nest"). It may be the only flight game I've played, but I can't imagine anything else topping it.
Wave Race 64 (N64) - Honestly I only play this for Dolphin Park. I could race alongside that dolphin for hours. That's the closest I remember ever being to gaming nirvana.
Star Fox Adventures (GameCube) - Some people don't care for it, but I loved it. Yeah, I bought it because of Fox McCloud. But the graphics are beautiful even today, it has a great soundtrack, has a refreshingly smooth framerate, and it's just fun to play. Has the same sort of feel that Beyond Good & Evil would have, which helps.
Beyond Good & Evil (GameCube) - Mostly it's for that feeling that the game understands how to keep things fun. There's no frustrating instant-death pits, you have unlimited lives, checkpoints are frequent, you can (almost) always go back to get something you missed, the framerate is silky smooth, and the stealth is thankfully not too involved. But this game did one thing extremely well, one thing I wish more games followed: It had a sidekick who would actually congratulate me on the stuff I do, make entertaining banter along the way, and help me accomplish tasks. Yep, I'm talking about Pey'j. It's a small thing to hear him cheering me on when I'm completing a really easy race, but that makes all the difference. Pey'j made the journey worthwhile, and I actually felt lonely when he had to leave for a while. He's the best sidekick I've ever had.
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (GameCube) - I found this more entertaining than "Beyond Good & Evil" because of the Prince doing acrobatics and just making up a way to get from point A to point B. Had a sense of adventure. I also love seeing the country vista during the rare moments where I'm outside of the palace.
Okami (PS2) - There was a lot of drama near the end of 2006 because two games in the spotlight seemed so superficially similar: Zelda Twilight Princess had Wolf Link, and Okami had Amaterasu (and it can be argued that Okami is a little like Zelda). Well, I had to choose. I think I chose correctly. I had a lot of fun with this one, thanks to the huge areas and great music and variety of stuff to do. I used to just park Ammy somewhere at Taka Pass and listen to the music. When I came back, Ammy would be laid out on the ground sleeping. It's also a REALLY long game, the longest I've ever spent. Took me 70 hours.
Sly Cooper (PS2) - Can't express enough how lucky I feel to have played this game and its sequel (never tried the third though). It's just pure fun from start to finish. Sure, the first game can be completed in a measly 7 hours, but I've come to admire its style of platforming and light amount of stealth. And Sly's tail, which everyone remarks on for being particularly lively. The sequel took a while to get used to, but undoubtedly it's a more entertaining experience, especially when you have all three characters working together in a mission. My favorite thing is that the levels are so large and there's so many ways to get from point A to point B that I always feel like I'm carving my own path. And if I get spotted (which happens a lot since I'm clumsy with stealth), I can find an escape route on the fly. Makes it feel like I have more control.
Solatorobo (Nintendo DS) - This must be the only game where all my love for it is solely because of the main character, Red Savarin. The quests can be fun at times (it makes a lot of difference that the characters thank you when you finish tasks), and everyone agrees that the world is spectacular, but... there is a LOT of dialogue, and almost all battles can be won by slamming A over and over. So it's like an RPG in some ways. While it can get repetitive, I just keep coming back because of Red. I never seem to get tired of those facial expressions of his, or the cute French voice soundbites you sometimes hear over the dialogue. And as the game went on, I cared more about Red. He's a good character, and optimistic that he can accomplish anything. And I feel that too, that bravery of being able to see some huge towering monster and going "eh, I can take him." Although the gameplay could be better, I still liked it and hope there will be another game in the franchise one day.
I like alot of games, and I was surprised to hear that someone here likes Solatorobo because I have that game also. The game systems that I have are an Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo 3DS and that is it. Here are some of my games
Xbox 360: Both Batmans, Call of Duty 2 and 3, Skylanders and Halo
Nintendo Wii: Sonic and the Seven Rings, Sonic and the Black Knight
Nintendo 3DS: Solatorobo Red the Hunter, Star Fox 64 3D, Pokemon
and that is only some of them.
The Batman games for xbox are just awesome. Any of you ever played Battalion Wars.
My cousins and I like the sonic hedgehog and Tails fox video games
I'm going to spend a few weeks in Illinois helping out my grandparents after they have various surgeries, so I'm going to buy Cave Story 3D for the trip. I'm excited, since Cave Story is one of my favorite games, but I haven't had the opportunity to play any version but the one released for the DSi.
You should try the original version for PC. That's how Cave Story should be played, in my opinion.
I have. =D I've played the PC version, the DSi version, and the demo for the WiiWare version.

I've not even got it! No fair....
I am going to teleport to your house and take it! HAHAHA!
My brother preordered it from Amazon.com, and I chipped in some so that I could have the 3D Classics: Kid Icarus code that came with it. I love the downloadable games, they so convenient. =D
I think Uprising is cool, but I'm not going to buy my own copy. Nintendo really played it up, but I knew all along that it wouldn't really be my sort of game. In my opinion, it's a little too limited as far as the game itself goes. I was hoping it would be a little more like Custom Robo (in which you can literally change everything about your fighter), but there aren't as many weapons as I had hoped, and you can't customize anything else.
Does anyone have the new Harvest Moon game??? I have for 3DS (it's also available for DS) and it's really fun.
I have so many games to play right now (I won a gift card---it pays to do surveys found at the bottom of receipts!) that's it hard to choose what to play sometimes!
Tale of Two Towns?
I haven't played that one. The only Harvest Moon game I've played is Magical Melody for the Gamecube, and I liked it well enough. Still, I don't think I'll end up buying it, since I figure it can't be too terribly different, and it's not really my sort of game.
Yep, it's Tale of Two Towns. I'm sure that there are some differences, but the basics are the same...grow crops and raise animals!
One of the fun things with this one is that if you live in one town, your primary focus is growing crops. If you live in the other town, it's primarily raising animals. You can switch at the end of each season if you want.
Any of you ever played the LEGO Star Wars games?
I got 100% on Lego Star Wars for the Gamecube, but I've never played any of the others.
It was fun, if not overly simple. Still, I wouldn't mind playing it again someday. I found it was more fun if I played with someone else too, since it was easier to goof around with more than one person. Your CPU partner is so boring. :P
I have III, It's awesome! :D
Not to through you off subject, but has anyone heard anything about Madden 13? I'm going to get it when it comes out, but I was just wondering if any one has heard any news about it. ???
Fallout was free on GoG this week (might still be), so I've been playing some of the '97 post-apocalytic FPS. Not too good at it, but gotta love the nostalgia.
MW3 Rocks!
hammer editor. although it's actually a level design tool the entity representation icons are so funny sometimes. my profile pic is an example
I've had my iPod for ages, but I've recently became addicted to Peggle, Plants vs Zombies, Angry Birds and Unblock Me. I know you can play some of those on the computer, but I play them on my iPod and I seriously can't stop! Peggle is the hardest to put down.

Tiny Tower is the hardest for me to put down on my iPod. Don't download that game, whatever you do. I can't help it, I must build more levels!
I love Lego Star Wars! It's not all that challenging, but it's a lot of fun to play. I like destroying things and watching them explode into little lego pieces. :) I just played through it again on my DS.

Advance Wars is awesome! =D My favorite is Advance Wars 2. It's a little more simple, but I find that the campaign mode is a little more devious (and interesting).

Guess what.... Neither have I!
I've heard VVVVVV is good, but I've been occupied with Cave Story, and I downloaded the demo for Mutant Mudds, and I like that one too, then there's Shinobi out, and NightSky is coming out soon (supposedly), so my 3DS download library is a bit full.
I now have Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2.
What's final fantasy?
I love www.Dragonfable.com it is great ;)
I'm not into that. Sorry. :(
ever heard of polynomial? it's fun. needs a computer made for gaming though. :'(

It's an RPG game with many, many sequels. :P
Never played that either Psybox.
VVVVVV is a great game. I liked the music from it so much, that I got the soundtrack to listen to whenever I want. 8)
Also, NightSky is a nice puzzle-platformer. Nifflas has a way of making tranquil games that make you want to just sit back and destress while you play.
I 've never played that either.
I bought VVVVVV for my trip tomorrow. I'll let you know.
just started playing mirrors edge.
Has anyone here played Tales of Symphonia? I hear it's good, but I'm not really sold.
Also, my Aqua 3DS just got a lot cooler.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/05/11/goodbye-aqua-blue-3ds
That's interesting that they are getting rid of a color!
They changed the release date for Rollercoaster Tycoon 3D >:( Instead of coming out today, it's now slated to come out sometime next month!
Noooooooooooo!! How could they get rid of BLUE!! That's my favorite color too!! Anyway. I love to play Zelda and more Zelda.
alright i absulutely love the samurai warrior series of games i'm trying to get the third one for Wii
I'm thinking Quake Live for some hours today...maybe some AoE II as well, I've been meaning to try and play that again (after all these years).
Aw AoE II that was the best game ever. Gotta bust my copy out again now.
I also like the Sonic games.
i had a sonic game real fun i forget the name the music was awasome to i made up words to go with it lol
Best bundle ever: 7 days left (http://www.humblebundle.com/?hib5-bonus).
I know, right? Bastion, FTW!
Mm, I'm still mourning the fact that I missed Cave Story in bundle 4.
Any Fallout fans here?
I like:
Donkey Kong
Super Smash Brothers
Halo III
and Star Wars Lego
Donkey Kong Country is one of those games that I grew up playing, along with the original Super Smash Bros., GoldenEye, Star Fox 64, Perfect Dark, Super Mario 64, and the original three Pokemon games.
Sonic and Tails! But only rarely. I don't play video games unless my cousins come over. Anyone a fan of Wii?
Lemme see...
Lord Of The Rings Online (LOTRO)
Wizard101
Legend of Zelda (All of them, but mainly Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl + Melee
Poptropica
Youtube (Does that count? I look at game stuff on it)
Redwall Abbey Forum (This one counts right?)
Oh the list could go on and on...
sorry for being incredibly repetitive, but portal and (less repetitively) terraria. Don't think I'm going to be able to forgive redigit for giving a use to angel statues, however small.
Big fan of sonic games! Adventure was the best! Me and my bro were always playing it. I was the brains and he was the brawn! Also like pokemon, digimon, beyblade vg's are not gr8 but got em anyway and yugioh. Also ff fan + kh. I had a thing for rival schools for a while as well, only game I beat my bro at!
Anyone a fan of classic pac man?
I played Pokemon gameboy version on the computer and professor layton and the mystery box NDS version again on the computer

I always get annoyed because the monster ends up eating my PAC man guy before the first
Level is even up. I guess I need more practice
I hate being chased, like I seriously freak out whenever I'm being chased. I don't do well with Pac Man. *Shudders*

Ahaha! That made my day, and made me waste 15 minutes of my life! Well played.... Anyone here like the elder scrolls, or arma?
This story made my day (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/117862-The-Eternal-War-Ten-Years-of-a-Single-Civ-2-Game). Since its post on Reddit, its been spread considerably, with plenty of 1984, Warhammer 40,000 and the like references.
I myself have recreated the map into Civ III this afternoon.
zelda, mario, star wars, skyrim.

YeH, i'd definitely agree with the story, but the game itself is ehhh. They have LOADS of weapons, almost the most in the game, but what killed it for me is the gameplay mechanics, just eh. If you can stand absolutely atrocious sword play, and a few other mechanics, and you can get by the decent graphics, it's a nice romp through one of the regions of Thamriel. :) one thing I do really. Like is that you can provoke guards, and such, there's some great features, but they kinda get buried in the horseplop gameplay.
My goodness! I didn't think I'd get that many responses! Well, keeping with the video game topic, I used to play Battlefield 2 religiously. I <3 medics.

For anyone who hasn't bought Portal and Portal 2 - it's the daily deal on the Steam store today. The two game bundle is $6.24. o.o
Well that stinks for me because I don't buy the downloads of Steam yet! GGGGRRRRRR! I want to get Portal 2 SOOOO bad!

I own the first four! They never get old. I don't own a 3DS, and I don't want to, except to get the fifth one. I really wish they'd make a remix of the fifth for normal DS.
And it has to have some of the best music of all time.
No, Luke. Let him go! Luke, stop that - that's his face!
Favourite quote from the series.
And has anyone ever played Spore? I used to have it, but it won't work on my computer anymore.
Is spore that creature creating game?

Ick... I second the warning. That is one of the leading reasons I'm not joining...
he stated two reasons, didn't he? So which did you mean?
as for bad language, it's to be expected, you take a multiplayer game, and unless you have specific rules, then swear words are bound to happen.
Second resaon. :P
So what's the worst game ever?
Oh my!.................. I haven't a clue.
I dare not speak it's name so I will type it. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Heh, I feel out of place, here....
So. Does anybody play Lara Croft? I played Tomb Raider and beat it many times, and was working on Anniversary until I brought it back to the game renting place.

That game is beast! I've had that for nearly a year, and am almost undefeatable!
(I went in a match against 3 7 leveled CP's and won... They were chasing me the whole time)
I like being the yellow Pokemon in brawl
Me and my bestest buddie recently beat 15-minuet brawl! It was sweeeet. I hate story-mode though, because I'm stuck at the Great Maze or whatever it's called.
It's terrible! I need someone who agrees with me!
I do! I HATE that place!
I'm talking about the game.
how can you not like super smash brothers brawl?
Oooooh. *Giggles* Whoops, sorry.
that post makes no sense, so please explain.
You too? I'm surrounded by psychos! I have my opinions!
I agree kinda, brawl gets very boring very fast
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! i just had to do that, firefly fans will understand. On topic; how about Mirror's Edge? Anyone else on this site play that?
What is it?
Mirror's edge was ok. Kinda made me dizzy XD
I must share with all of you a deep and horrible secret....
My favorite game of all time is...
Neopets: The Darkest Faerie.
... Speechless
I know, I know. I shall probably now be shunned for my ways.
But in all seriousness, I find it to be a well done adventure game that takes weeks to complete, has lots of side quests, some challenging boss battles, a decent story and a fun combat mechanism. I could do without the bits you have to play in the Barbie-esque faerieland, but for the most part the game takes place in a medieval land and the knight character is fun to play and get new swords and armor for. I enjoy it more than any other game I ever bought. I got it on a whim with my brother for some laughs and we were both shocked by how much fun it was.
Now u have me wanting to get it :O
The best part is it's really cheap! I believe its only on PS2.
I have ps2 I play it more than my Xbox lol
Hahaha me too. Anyway you could probably find it used or buried somewhere at your local game store, or order it from Amazon for like five dollars.
Haha, I can't believe I might actually get this
Lol all I'm saying is me and my brother went in looking for a joke game and now we've played it through maybe five or six times. It reminds me of Legend of Zelda only a little more cartoony and a lot more fun (to me anyway).
Five or six times!!?? Lol
It's happy and fun! It cheers me up just like Redwall does.
Is it a violence game or more of a puzzle game?
There's fighting but no blood and tons of puzzles and quests.
Sounds like fun lol, I don't like games that are pure violence, this sounds like a nice mix
That's why I like it ;) anyway, don't want to usurp the whole topic. I do highly recommend the game though.

lol.... It took me awhile to finish that too... Use the map, it helps alot. Also, learn to use the teleporters, those will speed your progress immensly once you figure them out. (they are color coded)... The end of the level is the hardest part because you have to fight da blue dude... Better get good at rolling 'cause he will KO you instantly if he gets you with his wing waves *shudders*
I think my lil bro beat story mode in like a week if I remember right :P
I beat it in less :P :P :P
(Not sure how much)
... I got stuck pretty fast lol I still haven't beaten it
Little tip, use the map, and search out the flashing bowser faces, that is were all the bosses and characters you have to fight are.
I haven't played it in awhile
Is there anyone here that likes the Legend of Zelda?
*Waiting for AbbotAlf to come flying in screaming "I DO!"* :D
Okay, maybe not "SCREAMING", but you get the idea... I want to try Twighlight Princess.
That's the best one.
Amen! I liked Skyward Sword, but Twilight Princess was better.
Skyward Sword didn't work on my wii, I can't get past the part in the temple after you get the scale
Which temple? Forest? Volcano? Desert?
The second forest one, Ancient Cistern or something like that.
I haven't made it that far. I watched someone beat it, but I'm at the desert temple 1st time.
honestly, i never got into twilight princess as much as i did with any other Legend Of Zelda, maybe excluding the first two.
Also, minesweeper score: 6 wins out of 55 games.
A lot of people are obsessed with Zelda, but I honestly have never tried it :P
they are really fun, although not really (in my opinion) the first two, and twilight princess. Start out with any of the GBC (gameboy color) ones, those are my favorites.
I became a Zelda fan last summer when I got Ocarina of Time 3D. So far I've played that one, Skyward Sword, the Four Swords that DSi/3DS users got for free, Minish Cap, and the first two. Ocarina is definitely my favorite - everyone should play it at least once in their life. :)
I've played it several times. BTW, I do not want a 3ds, I just don't like them. HEAR THAT NINTENDO! HEAR THAT?
I used to be a huge fan of the Gameboys. I got every one up to the SP, but then I couldn't get any more of them. Then I got into the Gamecube. After that, the Wii and now computer.
I recently beat Quantum Conundrum, and I feel it's safe to say that if you liked Portal, you'll like Quantum Conundrum, too. It was funny, witty, and had a lot of charm. I'm eagerly waiting for the release of the first DLC pack, so I can play some more.
PS: Don't look directly into Ike's eye's.
AE all day
I play HD2(Hidden & Dangerous 2) for now, AWESOME GAME!
Has anyone ever played Crazy Taxi? I know it had... um... colorful language, but it was a great game if you muted it!

:o :o :o :o 3DS ARE AWESOME *ahem* i dont have one, but its like a cross between a wii and a ds. does that not sound awesome?
Still don't want one, I played the good OLD version of Ocarina of Time on N64 and liked it fine. Currently I'm playing Majora's Mask. ON N64! And anyone know any tips for beating those brothers at the horse race?
i personally like the wii better than the ds, and the good ol computer is the best gaming system of all. but i still say 3ds is awesome.

Well, I found out from Ocarina of Time that you can't use all of the horse slaps at one time lol. You have to wait for your horse to slightly slow down after the speed boost before using another one. You probably already knew that, but hey, it's advice.
Aye. Has anyone heard of/played Puzzle Quest? It's a fun game, a bit like bejeweled. There's seven different colours, red, green, yellow, and green, those are mana, you get that mana and use it to cast spells that do damage to your enemy, among other things. There's skulls, which do damage. Purple stars, which gives you experience points so you can learn more spells. And there's gold, which is self-explanatory.
Okay, I don't think that this counts as a video game, but I like to play fruit ninja.Younhave to slice fruit in half using a sabre
lol, I still think that thing looks like a butcher knife. :D

Close, one of the factions is called Diamond Sword... The other is Blood Eagle.
Could you explain it?
Danflorreguba, i think she went back to fruit ninja, or so did you?
Soooo... no one's played Crazy Taxi? Darn.
Does anybody play Diablo III?
Correct.
Where to start?............ I know!
This is a very Hectic look at the game... It hasn't gotten that crazy anytime I've played, but it sums up the game pretty well.
Fast paced, original, well constructed, and still Beta... Yep, this isn't the real game yet! But the real thing is still free, and all the things you earn in the Beta you keep for the real one when it comes out.
Is anybody else looking forward to the new Super Mario Brothers game for 3DS???
I hate the 3DS. Personally.
I rarely play it with the 3D aspect turned on. I'm really glad that it can play regular DS games!

Star fox, Skyrim, and team fortress 2 are my favorites
I'm thinking of trying TF2...
So there was a thread discussing PC games, I'll just continue it here.
Here's my favorite PC games:
- Portal / Portal 2
- Skyrim
- The Sims (I had the entire set of the original games, but only have the base game of The Sims 3)
- Rollercoaster Tycoon (original set)
- Zoo Tycoon (original set)
I'm playing Skyrim most right now. I've completed most of the faction questlines; I only have the main quest and civil war quest to go. I'm also currently trying to find all the words of the Shouts and find all the Stones of Barenziah (4 to go).
This will probably be interesting for some people here.

:o I want it!
I'm bored, so I'm typing up a giant review of the best and most overlooked games I've played :D
Professor Layton
Games hardly get better than this, sword fighting one moment, sipping tea and solving puzzles the next. This is a great puzzle game with a creative storyline, it's sure to hook you, almost every puzzle is unique and leaves you thinking, and on top of all that, this game has some of the best music I have heard. AND there are several sequels. I'd highly recommend this to anyone.
Pikmin
You're a quarter-sized person commanding ants. Can it get cooler than that!? It has amazing gameplay, easy-to-use controls, brilliant storylines, is cheap because it's for GameCube, everything you could ask for in a game. With the second one, you can co-op with friends, I'd recommend trying that out. This is one of Nintendo's finest.
More to come later.
I love anything Halo...it's an M rated game though. :(
I also like fighting games. Those are cool!
I'm not the biggest fan of fighting games, I like ones like Legend of Zelda, but absolutely hate ones like Super Smash Bros.

call of duty black ops
Going to pick up the new Pokemon game after work!

Oh man, I so want the Lego LotR!
I like Nintendo, but not all of their games, ones like SSBB are pretty much terrible. Do not explode at my opinion, that is where I stand.
Ah, no, I'm fine with your opinion. I used to feel that way myself. I just got used to the game and got pretty good at it. Though, personally, I enjoy Legend of Zelda games much more. There's more of a story to them.
Lol, I was playing a Super Mario Bros. game the other day, and man, that doesn't have much of a story at all! While Zelda takes about an hour of intro videos, Mario is two seconds of: "It's Princess Peach's birthday today! Oh look, she got kidnapped!"
lol, that's pretty much it.

Do you seriously have to bash SSBB though? Why post something so ridiculously negative without any real purpose? Now if you had gone after something like Mortal Kombat or what ever that stuff is things would make more sense. SSBB is NOT a go to for fighting game description.

What's Fable?
you dont know what fable is. its an xbox game
Oh, well, I have a Wii, so I guess I wouldn't know.
wii sucks
Well, that's your opinion, and you may have your own opinion. In my opinion, Wii isn't the best, but it's not the worst either. I like the computer the most, but Wii is still pretty good! There's a lot of games that I enjoy, Legend of Zelda being my favorite.
Computer is better though because you can connect with other people on the internet. Plus it has LOTRO.

I don't play video games a whole lot... But I've been getting back into Lara Croft again. I only own the old one for Gamecube, but I hope to get a newer one for the Wii for my b-day. I like the Legend of Zelda games, and stuff. I also hope to own an X-box, soon, so I can play some Call of Duty Black Ops! Oh yeah!

BUY FABLE 3!
What is Fable about? And what is this TA that Dan and SaberTruth are talking about?
TA stands for "Tribes Ascend" which is a free, fast, first person shooter that is similar to Halo (only 100 times funner).
@ Dan: I don't get to play TA very much, but have been getting back into it more recently. I mainly play the "capture the flag" mode because I like being able to get the tanks. As to class, I just unlocked the "Brute" and have been loving his hard hitting gun. Before I got him I would run with the "Juggernaut" because I could use his secondary weapon really well. As to other unlocks, I am not really sure as I had been saving all my XP to unlock the brute, but now will be adding extra upgrades to him. I wish I could be on this Saturday, but I am leaving on vacation this week. So when I get back, I would really like to play with you.
Also, you might really like the free online game called "World of Tanks", it is one of my favorites.
I don't play often but when I do I is either COD MW1, 2, or three.

Tribes ascend is a blast, but i have a few gripes:
It isn't single player. That means when multiplayer dies, where is someone gonna be with 50 real dollars of in-game gear?
Two. The non-explosive splash damage weapons are almost useless, as the players move more than quake in an anti-gravity server. XD
Dungeon Defenders (http://store.steampowered.com/app/65800/) is on sale for the next 33 hours for less than $4. It's definitely worth picking up at that price.

I mainly play Raider since I unlocked the grenade launcher (which is actually a really good weapon in this game) and am saving up for the plasma gun for him too.... so excited! I'm past 66,000 XP! I really loved the Brute too, his fractals are beast! The heavy spinfusor was just made for me, though I REALLY don't like the automatic shotgun... blech.

Yeah, Tribes Ascend COULD use a Single P, but it DOES have great multiplayer (better than COD MW or HALO [And I LOVE HALO!]) And as far as hit-scan weapons go, most people feel exactly the opposite, they feel it isn't Tribes like because Tribes has always revolved around hang-time predictions, nit predicting where someone's going to be in the next second. I'm getting the hang of them, so I'm starting to like 'em.
There's this game I own, Spore. It didn't work on the computer. Now we have a new one. It works! If you haven't heard of it, LOOK IT UP. It's great fun. You get to make stuff like this:

Right now im playing true crime new york city,a little grim but otherwise its awesome.you play as detective marcus reid.im nearly finished.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the release of Myst, by Cyan. If you're interested, there's a wonderful article looking back that can be found here (http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9713372/looking-back-game-myst-20th-anniversary).
Myst is one of my favorite games, along with the rest of the series, and I am quite excited by the activity of Cyan recently.
Anyone ever played Marathon? (Fun)
Any Legend of Zelda fans? (Favorite)
Any Guns of Icarus people? (Good game)
What about Minecraft? (Good, not obsessed with it)
Teleglitch: Die more Edition fans? (Highest stress you could get from a game, it's an adrenaline pumper)
LoZ and Minecraft are the two that I play off of that list. (LoZ is DEFINITELY my favourite game series ever!)
Ooh, what is your favorite one? Out of the series I mean.
Quote from: Norham Waterpaw on September 25, 2013, 03:34:17 AM

Mmm, for graphics, probably either Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword, for fun-ness, either Wind Waker or Majora's Mask, and for storyline, Twilight Princess. No doubt about it.
I think I could agree with everything you just said! :D
I'm really enjoying Twilight Princess, I just got the first Sol in the Twilight realm. I forgot to bring the Poe souls back to the bold dude though. :(
Anyone planning on getting GTA5? Its supposed to be really good...
GTA5 looks awesome!!!! (some bad language)
Yeah, it does! So does AC4.
Is that the pirates creed? Arrr!
i play SWTOR, BF3, BF4, WoT, minecraft, TA planetside 2, and Arma 3
Quote from: phoenixfoden on September 25, 2013, 12:46:19 PM

Yeah, Assassins Creed; Black Flag.
I'm planning on getting Pokemon X, I think. Anyone else getting X/Y?
Speaking of AC4, a video I saw the other day... this channel has done "AC in real life" for each of the main games, where they parkour around a city wearing a costume from that game, but this AC4 one is the best - they did it at Comic-Con so you can see people's reactions and they do some really cool stuff. It's impressive what you can do with your body if you're physically fit.
I love that vid! I saw it before...Its way better than their first. :)

Yeah, the hands that try to reclaim the Sols are creepy. And by bold, I'm assuming you mean gold. ;)
Welp. That parkour video was cool, although I would question the legality/safety of most of it.
Well, if you watch the "making of" video, they do ask "Hey, can we do a flip over your car/table" and so on, and the guys that do the tricks in their videos do this sort of thing as a serious hobby and are therefore quite experienced (the last guy they had for these AC videos even ended up quitting his day job and doing stuntwork professionally full-time thanks to the fame he got from the first video alone), so I assume it's mostly okay.

Well, a few days ago, I killed (in a game) a giant war-walker ( which I thought were invincible), and in fact, I killed 3 of them. After I did so, a new door opened for me. It contained several new weapons, lots of med-kits, and lots of bombs. It even had a teleporter that shot me from level 3 to 5 ( skipping 4 completely) and as soon as I got to level 5, I accidentally dropped a nail bomb, and died.
So, pretty much, I don't think I've rage-quitted a game that badly since Majora's Mask. (I might explain that one later.) ;D

Ooh, please do! (I know the feeling. I watched my brother do the same thing on the fourth temple. I was about ready to do it too, but on the first. ::))
So I was in Snowhead. Honestly, Majora's Mask is the hardest LoZ game, in my opinion, and one the eerier ones, for sure.
So, I had been struggling in Snowhead for a few weeks, and I was frustrated enough. I had about had it. Finally, I got in some progress, enough to where I got to the mini-boss; the Wizzrobe. I was on 3 hearts by the time I was finished with him. I progressed really far, and even got to the Wizzrobe's revenge, his second battle. So I killed him, and got the boss key.
I felt unstoppable. As I swaggered out the room in my chubby Goron body, my game had to ruin my day. It had the nerve, the gut, to freeze.
So I had to restart my Gamecube. As I opened up my file, I found myself... In clocktown... On day 1.
'Nuff said.
Ouch! Lol, I can see why you'd quit. ;)
Well, I decided to dust off my copy of Wind Waker today, and after playing it for an hour or so, I decided to let it gather some more dust. I did a sort of rage-quit because I was almost to the boss in the Forbidden Fortress, when I got discovered by the guards. No biggie, I tried again. I almost got to the door (in the same room), when I was discovered by the guards. Pretty annoying, but I figured I may as well try again. Third time's the charm, right? Wrong. I got into the same room, again, and, again, got discovered by the guards. After being thrown in the cell (I know pretty much every inch of that room now), I calmly saved and quit, then threw my remote on the ground and shut off the Wii. No more Zelda for me today!
Minecraft, Spore. That's what I play. I enjoy infinity blade. I want portal and cubeworld so bad! To bad I use Mac.

It was never hard for me to slip by the guards, but the spotlights got me a good bit.

Just the first one - I got #1 and #2 during the Steam summer sale for $5 each. I got interested in the series thanks to this video (this guy writes songs based on video games - if you've read the Skyrim thread, I've posted a couple Skyrim ones there):

Yay! Someone who plays AoE! Which one do you play?
For you people thinking about getting link between worlds, I'm going to rant on why not.
Well for starters, it's just Link to the past. That's right, the same game, but with a 2D
Mode! Why would you want to become 2D? The graphics are bad enough.
Same enemies, same places, same pixels, if you will. Same plot, same old LTTP.
In essence, buy A Link to the Past, not some stupid spin-off.
I play SWTOR, LOTRO, Age of Empires III, Civilization 4, Star Wars Battlefront, and a bunch of other games.
Anyone tried STALKER Call of Pripyat? It's awesome if you're into tense monster-y shooty bandit-y gunplay. :D It's pretty sweet. Beware though, for those who like good graphics, this game is pretty ugly. There's about 400 mods to fix that though.
Hmmm, sounds fun.
Has anyone played the old Fps game, Marathon?
It is probably the hardest shooting game... ever. And frustrating, all with a confusing back story and some horror and suspense elements.
Which explains why I rage-quit it quite a bit. :D

I've played it! I really like it, but it did have one of the things that killed every old game for me. The LAYOUT. ARRRGGG. It was just the mixture of samey textures that made it hard to navigate. I don't need something linear, but come on, it's impossible to move about effectively. :P
OOH! AoE fans! :o :D ;D
I have the gold edition for number two.... best version for play, but AoE 3 has way better building placement, reactive physics, and graphics plus more add-on features.
GRRRRRRRR! No one plays any of the stuff that I do. ::) (SMITE, Tribes: Ascend, SupCom 2) Maybe I'll post some Drybear and _Star vids to get [hopefully] someone else hooked. ::)
Well, no one plays the games I play (Space Hack, Serious Sam, Joan of Arc, Empire Earth, Black Hawk Down: Delta Force, Hidden & Dangerous 2, Carnivor, Celtic Kings, Civilization III, Diablo II, Heroes of Might and Magic III & V, Railroad Tycoon 2, etc.)! ;D
AoE, I love the second one for campaigns, but the third one beats the others with the graphics, trade, levels, etc.

I don't play them, but I really love Portal 2 (And the oringinal, but I know less about it), and Hearthstone. (Despite not being a Warcraft fan. Just, the graphics and the gameplay...Agh! It's great) Terraria is great, and it just had a major update. Unfortunately, I have a dilemma.
1: I have a new computer
2: Steam has a security feature where you have to get email confirmation to log on with another computer
3: My email account is broken
4: I can't get on my old computer and disable it, because my old computer is dead.
Agh! Stupid security!

I've played them all; from the first one to AoE 3. Which one I play depends on what mood I'm in (and what time period I'm studying in history).
The computer I'm using now has everything up to
The Conquerers, but it wouldn't be able to play #3 at all. I have a terrible graphics card. However, one of our other computers does play it (somewhat) but it skips around when there are a lot of cannon fights.

Nope, not me.
I'm looking forward to Pokemon X! Just a few more days!
I also really want to play Watch Dogs, which comes out in November. It's so expensive though, at $60. Maybe I'll get it as a gift for myself when I get a *real* job after graduation.
I was at books a million yesterday, and I saw some AWESOME stuffed portal defense turrets, they also sold mini collectible turrets in fake crates with like plaid and polka and stuff. They had mc stuff to! It was so cool! But everything at Kohl's is über expensive

A laptop? Powerful? Mine was having issues with the Conquerers today. Of course, it could have been the fact that I gave my enemy, like, 2000 villagers.
P.S. All I gave myself was Genghis Khan.

It's a Steampunk styled game where you and your crew( generally people you don't know) work together on an airship, which you arm with an arsenal of Guns ( hence the name ). You can choose from a wide array of Airships, each one with its own strengths and weaknesses.
There are three classes:
Pilot: You pilot the ship, pretty self explanitory
Gunner: Well, you fire the guns, and can choose from different kinds of ammo.
Engineer, or Engi: You use loadout of tools to repair the hull, balloon, engines, and guns.
Well, there you have it.
Today is the release of Pokemon X and Y! I'm going to get it in about 5 hours. :D
Does anyone here play Civ. 5?
Played it a bit a while ago, it's rather fun but really different from the third one.
My brother just pre-ordered Assassin's Creed 4, so I'm pretty excited about that. (He showed me an 11 minute long demo of the game, and after I watched that, my reaction was 'Okay, let's get it!')
The kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyaninc/obduction) from Cyan I've been waiting for over a year to be announced. Quite excited
Coo! I've actually played Riven, and in fact, I know where it is in my house. That game was creepy, cool, challenging, and overall a great game. I think I've played Myst too.

Sorry for changing the subject, but does anyone here play Lotro. I have a new character, Broggs, on Firefoot.

:D So I finally convinced you to join Firefoot, eh? I'd invite you to join my family's kin, but it was disbanded earlier this year due to my brother not wanting to lead anymore and no one was willing to take his place.
What is your characters name?
Lemme see... Eldanna (level 52 elf warden), Alreenia (level 30 elf loremaster), Ellowynne (level 27 (I believe) human burglar), Sorrinn (level 11 dwarf runekeeper), and one other that I can't think of at the moment. All on Firefoot, of course. ;)
I've been hearing a lot of people talk about Lord of the Rings Online lately. What exactly do you do in the game? Is it free-to-play?
Twiglight Princess
Welllllp...... I killed Zant..... For the first time.... I wonder how many times you have to kill him. He seems a bit too easy though, I never dropped below half health (if even). How much is left to the game? Because I really want to finish all of the side quests, but I don't know how to get to the gold guy and I don't know if the bridge is back yet so I'm not sure whether stopping in those two places is worth my time yet.

Yes, it is an MMO, and has a free to play, which is what I do. It is based on the Lotr books, which means it has places such as the Old Forest and the Barrow Downs that aren't mentioned in the book. It is very fun, and I am really enjoying it.

Who do you play as most?
@Dawn: It's a great game. Let's just say that. You can play free to play, or, to get things like the gold cap unlocked and to get more areas, you could go VIP, but it isn't necessary. You earn Turbine Points while playing, which allows you to buy things like the riding skill (which means you can ride horses, ponies, and goats), you can buy new areas, cosmetic gear, swift travel (pretty much that means teleporting from one area to another via horse stables. You can ride there by normal travel, but that takes much longer.), etc. It's a very fun, but slightly confusing (at first) game.
@Shadow: I play mostly as Ellowynne and Sorrinn (well, at the moment), and have kinda left Eldanna somewhere in Moria. I haven't touched Alreenia in ages, due to the fact that I played her with a friend, but we restarted 'cause we hated our characters. And then I can't even remember my fifth character, which obviously tells ya that I don't play that 'un often. ;)

For the first time? You have a ways to go.
@Dan: What temple did you beat? 'Cause I think you might fight Zant a couple of times, but I can't totally remember.
Yeah, me neither. I thought you fought him several times, or am I thinking of Ghirahim? :P
Gah! I don't know!

Oh, that man...
I about died laughing, because when he was doing his little ritual dance at the end, my sister turned around and said. "Is that Grandma Impa humming?"
I JUST broke that giant crystal thing over Hyrule castle (stupid boomerang triforce puzzle driving me nuts) Are you guys talking about that fat orc thing that seems to be some feeble attempt at a nemesis? ::) "Killed," him again under the crystal, got the key.
Ah... So did you just leave the Twilight Realm?
Ah, yep, you definitely killed Zant then, 'cause you're doing the last temple (AKA Hyrule Castle). Yeah, no worries, you don't have to fight Zant, you just have to fight an equally annoying boss.
@Norham: I know! I was cracking up at that part! Lol, even though it was supposed to be dark and scary, it was like: "Dude, you're dancing and humming, how scary can it be?" :P

Mmm, sort of. You fight Ganondorf several times, and you're not actually fighting him at some points. (Okay, okay, I'll admit, I've never actually fought him. I've watched my brother fight him, though. And I learned that in the final battle, when the two of you are dueling, if you pull out your fishing rod and swing it around, it distracts him. It's awesome. ;D)
In Ocarina of time, you can use your empty bottle to do that. ;D
Yeah, Ganon is pretty tough, but I'll let you decide that. There are many forms that you have to fight, each very annoying.

EDIT: OH MY GOSH! :D :D :D That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen inside of a game! The fishing pole works!

I don't even know how to get there yet...
But I'm content right now with bashing Goblins in the face with my spiked shield
Heehee, yeah, you get into Moria when you're level 40-something. And you get to fight the Watcher, which is kinda cool. ;D
Yeah, my friend (Bladeclaw on here) has a super high level guy, and he already beat the watcher. :P

I warn you- it's not Terraria. It looks very similar, and the early game is mostly the same, but its hugely different. Basically anything you come across us random within parameters- including weapons, worlds, monsters, ad villages. It's also infinite. And not at all like Terraria. I mean, spaceships and penguin bosses.
Well, the concepts and such remind me of it. By all means, I wasn't making a comparison. Just making a statement about the gameplay and such. ;D

Hey, Izeroth! You were saying something over here . . .
http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=177.msg357845#msg357845
. . . about Starbound having problems. I was saying I didn't know enough about it. Truth be told, I was hoping it would serve as a replacement for Terraria: somehow Terraria didn't scratch the itch the way I expected it. So what is the state of the game, and what ISN'T it doing?
(Hey, the forum is warning me about the thread being months old, so I hope The Skarzs didn't lead me astray (http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=177.msg357887#msg357887) . . . )
Starbound is a good game, and I have 350 hours in it- As opposed to my 263 in Terraria. Starbound somehow feels more... explorational... If that's a word. You're on a starship going to planets, tiering up, fighting procedurally generated monsters on procedurally generated planets. I've played through Terraria maybe 3-4 times, and I have no desire to do so again. Once Starbound is in a more complete state I will most likely spend a lot of time playing through again, and I will greatly enjoy that.
But it's unfinished.
Starbound is still in an early version of the game, and there hasn't been a stable update in many months. This is ridiculous. There has been PLENTY of time to add at least some of the promised features. But they have added some- Into the Nightly version of the game. It's unfinished, buggy, 'More beta than the more beta than beta.' But it's updated almost every night, at least several times a week. It is absolutely ridiculous to say that even with a small dev team there is no way the could output content faster than this- But at least it's not complete radio silence, work is being done. They haven't taken the money and run, they've taken the money and kind of slowed down. Nevertheless, I think that they should have tried to make their game more complete before releasing it. Early access is just a ridiculous model- It provides no incentive to finish games once people buy it.

Yes, it wasn't posted in since January, but since this was the most relevant topic for what you were talking about, that is why I recommended it.
While reviving old topics (other than in the Cellars) with just a sentence or two is looked down upon, if you have something worthwhile to say, it's fine.
So, who wants to talk about Starbound? I was going to get it, but I think I'll wait until it's out of beta (which, at this rate, looks like a long time from now)

I just did, on the last page. :P
That's interesting.
Lemme compare to Dwarf Fortress (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves). With that game, you know it's pointless to "wait until it's out of beta," since it will probably remain in alpha until the creator passes away. But there the cosmic inevitability is all up front: it has a massive feature list and the creator can only implement bits one at a time.
In fact, when I first came across it, it was kinda surprising that people were playing half of it at all (the "Adventurer Mode"). Literally no goals had been programmed into the game other than killing stuff. "Wow, what a complex and realistic world simulation! So, uh, what's the game?" Since then, more "point" has been programmed, and I can understand it a bit better.
Does Starbound have a problem with that? Is there no "point," or has it failed to be up-front, or are essential "fun bits" still missing? Or are people just holding it to different standards?
The problem with Starbound, from what I can tell, is that it was massively over-hyped. The devs set all these goals for the game, and released screenshots that made it look like the game was full of content. And then, beta came out. There was a lot of content in beta, to be fair, but many of the things in the game (like weapons, enemies, etc.) were very unbalanced. There were absurd enemies who could kill you with one hit, and some of the early bosses were near-unbeatable without cheating. The devs spent months patching up what was unbalanced (months that could have been spent adding new content) Personally, I think the devs should have, I don't know, played the game to see if it was balanced before they released it? (All this is gotten from reading various threads in the starbound forums and reviews and such)
Now most of the balance issues appear to have been smoothed out, but a lot of the promised content isn't done. For instance, none of the actual storyline has been added yet, and one of the races (the Hylotl) doesn't even have almost any content in the game.
I only started playing in Beta version Angry Koala (I think) but by then I didn't experience any balance issues- Yeah, things were hard, but I could beat just about anything with a full set of on-tier armor. Yeah, okay, I go into a sector that has creatures a tier above me, I get murdered. Of course, trying to combat things above your tier is dangerous. I didn't encounter anything that was in the same tier as me and could kill me easily. Boss monsters exist, as do intelligent, humanoid NPC's, and they're more powerful than the procedurally generated monsters. But they're not unbeatable if you're prepared with items that you're intended to fight them with. True, the Hylotl didn't and still don't have any dungeons or villages in the game, whereas every other race does, but by the point I started playing the game was playable to start to finish.
Starbound is intended to play one way- With missions to unlock major upgrades and such, but other than that things being obtained by exploration and travel. Currently, it has a series of placeholders- Bosses.
Intended earlygame progression:
Start off, go down to planet to collect minerals to repair ship's thrusters allowing interplanetary (but not interstellar) travel. Go to nearby 'Gateway' planet which has a teleporter to an 'Outpost,' which has a guy who wants you to run errands for him inside the same star system. He'll give you a personal life-support system to allow you to accept the Lunar Base mission, that'll give you necessary resources to unlock interstellar travel. Beyond that is unknown, but it's probably safe to assume progression will follow a similar pattern.
Current placeholder progression:
Mine a lot, make gear, make a beacon to summon a boss, kill boss, use boss's drop to get access to the next tier, or 'sector' and the next set of recipes. Go to planet, get new ores, repeat the whole thing again.
The way the game is now plays just fine- It's just lackluster compared to what is being implemented in the Nightly version. Much of the code for the content being added is there- In the nightly, you can do the lunar base mission (Unbalanced as it is,) you can upgrade your ship (but that requires cheats,) many of the features are implemented but not tied together. I think by the end of 2014 there'll be a major stable update that will have overhauled progression- Earlygame, at least.
It's ridiculous and frustrating how much time Chuckefish is taking, but I think there is yet hope. :P
Anyone ever hear about Overgrowth? It's an awesome fighting game involving rabbits beating each other senseless! ;D
I've seen Markiplier play it; absolutely ridiculous. :D
Yeah I've seen a bit of it.
Thanks for the explanation of Starbound. I think that makes more sense. It sounds like they're a bit beyond their means in updating the game, but at least they have a clear plan for it.
And I've been following Overgrowth ever since the Humble Indie Bundle stuff started ('cause they were connected folks). You can get a fraction of the ridiculousness by playing their earlier game, Lugaru. Meanwhile, their dev logs have taught me a bunch of things about coding and game design!
I would highly recommend Starbound once it's in verson 1.0, (Or possibly something Koala) but until then it's probably best to not get at all excited or consider buying it.

I'd call them hares, but whatever. :P There are cats too!... And mice... and dogs..... and wolves.... and a robot hare....am I forgetting any? I don't think so. Thing is, the hares are the only ones with epic jumping capabilities, so it's really the only good exploration type. If you're mad at an enemy you can't beat, then play the cat, wolf, or dog (or press f of course :P f solves all your problems). The CPU is ridiculously overpowered, once you get it to a high-enough level, he blocks everything, and one-hits you every single time, and you can't Judo-throw him at all. It's so stupid at that point... Mark's awesome. ;D
Has anyone he of a game called No Man's Sky? It looks really cool, but I don't have a PC or PS4.
I haven't heard of it. pcmasterrace :P
When the last ps4 has withered and died, pcs will remain.
Heh. ;D
