-
Right now, I am playing Tales of Pirates. It's a free MMORPG .. very well done, hits all the right "buttons" when you are looking for a MMO to play. The art is cartoony, but not so over the top that it's annoying.
-
Get Bioshock on 360 instead
-
Stalker is awesome. Its like fallout 3 without the fallout story.
Dont listen to G anyway, he's the biggest fucking liar on this forum.
-
Mupepe, start playing WoW with me. I'm dead serious. You'll love it.
On second thought, if you want to sleep, maybe playing this game isn't a good idea. I've been up since Monday.

How did you even play SupCom and Stalker when you don't have a decent PC? G's at it again!
-
G did a google search for PC GAMES 2007, then did a wiki search on the popular sounding ones to generate opinions that sound informed.
-
haha
-
He did put Titan Quest in the RTS group...
And GalCiv, too!
And Left 4 Dead won't need a new graphics card, either. It uses Source.
-
Man, G is a horrible liar.
-
Damn, you guys were completely right about G. The only thing you can trust about him is that everything he says is at least partially a lie.
-
He basically uses the internet to fabricate opinions built upon hastily gathered knowledge.
-
He basically uses the internet to fabricate opinions built upon hastily gathered knowledge.
This is very possible to do, he's just not very good at it.
Anyway start with these four games:
Company of Heroes
Half Life 2 + Episode 1
Civilization IV
Battlefield 2

Frag, are you interested in UFO Extraterrestrials? I kinda feel dirty playing it, because it is as close to gaming plagiarism as anything, but it's damned tootin good.
-
Got AOE3 and Civ IV
I guess I'll get SupCom, STALKER, C&C3. I'll pick up HL2 again so I can get CS:S and Episode 1. Company of Heroes I'll be getting too. I also have the urge to get Oblivion. Also, I want Battlefield 2.
I also want FEAR. And I just bought Fallout 1 and 2.
Mute: I never got into WoW. I'm more of an FF XI person.
Toxic: link me and send me your info. I'll give it a shot.
-
What are your PC specs again?
-
Stalker is a really fun and tense experience. The respawn rate gets kinda old but it keeps things pretty exciting. I atmosphere is great too. FEAR is great fun on PC.
-
How far back can we go with the game recommendations?
BF2 is a must get. It's basically the only thing I've really played in the last two years - which means it's either so incredibly awesome, or I'm just lame, or a combination of both.
I just picked up SiN Episodes for $10. I figured for ten dollah I can't go wrong. I loved the first SiN soooooo so much (which Episodes includes as well!)
Quake IV was a hell of a lot better than I thought it would be. That's dirt cheap these days. The Prey demo was incredibly awesome and I think the super special Limited Edition is less than twenty bucks now.
-
BF2 is fantastic, ill second that.
-
Unreal Anthology and then d/l Cave Story and La Mulana
-
Quake IV is an above average game who's only crime was being the first 'only above-average' quake title.
-
What are your PC specs again?
2.7 dual core
1gb ram
7800GT (i plan on getting an 8800 soon)

go back as far as you want. i've missed a lot of PC games for a long time.
-
PLEASE get yourself another gig of RAM.
-
I'm still kicking myself for not getting another GB of RAM before the PC industry decided to completely abandon 184-pin DDR. It's like Taiwan pulled a giant lever one day and the conveyor belts instantly started spitting out DDR2 instead. I can't hang with those prices right now.
-
I'll be honest I've not played:
Titan Quest
GalCiv
Episode 1 (waiting for orange)
Shivering isles
as well as
Defcon
I only mentioned them since they seem to be pretty popular here and at other forums I go to. The other games I either own or have played through long ago.
I'm just getting back into PC gamings after a good 2 year break.
AND STALKER FUCKING SUCKS
-

wait what? i've been out of this whole game for a while. There's something (new) out there besides the standard 184 pin ddr? they switched over? i must have missed that. i hope my computer does the new ram. I didn't even bother to look at that.
-
whew according to dell.com
1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 2 DIMMs
MAF link me to a cheap place to buy a Gig of ram
-
wait you have 2gb's or just one thats two 512mb dual channel sticks? If that later get rid of those and get 2 2gb sticks :D
My computer build in july will be 4gb's I know its overkillish but with a quadcore processor and that thing I'll be set for a long while probably. Now if only ATI released a price for the 2900hd so I can compare between that and the 8800gtx
-
Oh wow, G the Liar, where are you getting the money for that? What happened to being poor?
-
1300 bucks can get you a quad core, 4gb of ram 117 bucks per 2gb (i go for value), a graphics card, and mobo. And a few other things. I'm saving up my money on the side to add to what I'm gonna be given so I can build something nice. I might not buy 4gb of ram right away, but thats kind of part of my plan. Hopefully it works out.
And yes i'm pretty poor dude. 2200 bucks for yesterdays surgery and I had to pay 600 bucks onsite after I was done getting worked on. I'll get some of that back from my insurance in 6-8 weeks, thats about when I'll be getting some money from my grandfathers buy out of my stocks.
I need a computer thats my own, but I also gotta get a car. So I have to make sure my grandmother doesnt buy another 46grand Lexus. Were getting rid of the car I drive around with and hopefully buying two cars. One for me and one for her.

That all sounds so truthy, G the Liar. What's this about 46 grand Lexuses now?
-
My grandmother wants to order a GS, since she cant get into her RX 300 suv that they currently drive. The Lexus dealership has been baiting her with offers cause they know the LS (car I drive) is getting old and not performing well. So they have a Lexus loyalty discount on options and all kinds of things. And she wants it pimped out.
Me personally I think she should buy a Toyota (lexus is Toyota) and then buy me a reliable used car. Maybe another Santa Fe or VW.
My grandfather gives me money for my stocks cause he doesnt want me to sell them, not like I can! And cause then he can sell off his stocks that are performing badly. And by the end of this month he'll have finished those decisions. He likes to have a nice portfolio of investments.
-
I always recommend Guild Wars.
BF2 can be fun, but I warn you ti's not the cleanest game and it screwing up will piss you off.
Titan Quest is a nice d2 clone with multiclassing.
WoW is more time consuming than fun.
Those are the 4 main games I've played on PC in the past couple years.

I'm not sure, i haven't opened up the case. But I have 1GB of total RAM
-
Mupepe deffinatly find out dude. Ram is real cheap right now, you could easily get some stick of 2g and have 4gb of fun.
-
Toxic: link me and send me your info. I'll give it a shot.
http://www.talesofpirates.com/
Download button is on the left side. You need to register an account first.
My player name is Arax and I play on the Penguin Isle server. I will be willing to start a new character on the Treasure Isle server, as it is double exp right now.

like how cheap?
toxic: I'll download it tonight ;)
-
You can get 2gbs of Corsair value ram for less than 110 bucks right now. Granted they dont have the timing that make for great OCing. Its still fast enough for most. Get some better ram and you can be ocing that beautiful Intel chip you got. Maybe not on stock cooling. But those conroe chips seem to be great ocers.
-
PS. Mupepe, if you listen to G the Liar for OC advice, you deserve what you're going to get.

haha

haha
link me to cheap ram!

And they say I dont know my shit. FUCK YOU TVC!
TVC can you get me a copy of Ultimate?
I'm gonna buy a few sticks myself, but that 1066 looks good too.
-
And they say I dont know my shit. FUCK YOU TVC!
You only "know" your shit in universes where "know" is synonomous with "lie about." Once again, I dare Mupepe to take your Ocing advice.
-
well seeing the last time i oced was a Athalon Xp AMD chip i'm interested in what you'd do.
Also I need a copy of Vista can you get me one? I only ask cause 200 bucks is too much.
-

I sure hope they keep making those deus games. I love searching for items and just picking up random weapons and stuff. Its also fun talking to folks and doing missions. One of the best FPS game around.
