Pancho Villa Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 What games do you play? Would be nice to get a dedicated WoW/DoD group going on here. I always wanted to philosophically kill nazis. so, who here plays (or is interested in playing) World of Warcraft and/or Day of Defeat: Source?

Geoff Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Havent picked up Day of Defeat: Source yet, but I am a big fan of Half-Life Mods. My favorites are... Natural Selection Day of Defeat Counter Strike Counter Strike: Condition Zero Non-Mod Battlefield 2 StarWars Galaxies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondigitalia Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I don't play any of those, but I am all about FFXI. It's awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RationalBiker Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I play WoW, and most recently, City of Heroes. WoW is more in-depth than City of Heroes. CoH is simply get mission, kill bad guys. The variation is, get mission, team up with other heroes, kill bad guys. Still, I enjoy running around the city stopping the robberies, rapes, assaults, etc. Talk about a city under siege... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus98876 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) I do not play any of those games myself. I am quite into games like: Age of Empires I and II, Warcraft (I tend to like quite a few of the older games, partially becuase they run faster on my slightly subpar system), SimCity 3000 Morrowind Edited October 4, 2005 by Prometheus98876 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tortured one Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I play Everquest II myself. One of my characters is an Objectivist Paladin, my alt is a Nietzchean Shadowknight Both are dark elves. I like the prospect that one eschews the dark heritage, the other embraces it. It's also fun shouting "feed my will to power" everytime I defeat someone in a duel. I guess you really couldn't use the archaic term "Evil" since much of the ways I carry myself is more like Gail Wynard than Ellsworth Toohey. I thought about picking a really evil character and making a communist, but I just couldn't bring myself to do that. I love roleplaying my characters, and depending on my mood, I am either the justice-dealing paragon of virtue, or I am the power-seeking scion of darkness. Other games of mine include: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2, Dawn Of War, Final Fantasy 7, and Rise of Nations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakarmaskannar Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I play the original Everquest myself on the Bristlebane server...(same name, different channel ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondigitalia Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 I play Everquest II myself. I played the demo of that and it was hideously laggy. There was around a 5 second delay after every thing I did before it went into effect. Please tell me the actual game isn't like that.

studentofobjectivism Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I haven't played any video games in two months, but some of the games I have played: Baldur's Gate Xenogears FFVII FFX (The BEST FF!!!) Rainbow Six 3 SimCity 3000 Age of Empires Kessen Medal of Honor Command and Conquer Ghost Recon For the most part military-style FPSs, RPGs, and war-strategy and simulation games capture my interest.

There was around a 5 second delay after every thing I did before it went into effect. Please tell me the actual game isn't like that. on a large scale, no it isn't. Usually I only get those kind of delays when my LAN is operating at peak hours. When my outgoing network is busy, then I get the lag. That's not a horrible thing because usually I am studying or occupied otherwise during those hours. But alas, it is a huge computer sink. You really need a rig in order to play it well. But let me tell ya, those graphics will astound you if you happen to own a computer capable of playing it on higher graphics settings. And I have yet to find a character designer on any game as intricate, yet easy to use as EQ2's problem is that it isn't nearly as popular as WoW, so you miss out on some of the social aspects. But then again, more people play EQ2 than they did EQ1, so for me, I'm socializing more than ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaconos Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 My favourite games right now are: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Any Sonic game Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst Phantasy Star Online Episode 3: C.A.R.D. Revolution DooM 2 Dune 2000 Currently, I am waiting for the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion... But I'll probably have to buy a Xbox 360, because as of right now I don't think my computer could handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know who's left FFXI for WoW or EQ has returned within a month saying it's way better. That goes for everybody! If you wanna check out FFXI, let me know and I'll send you a pass to get on my server! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tortured one Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I considered FFXI. From what I've heard, it is the ultimate grind game. I know this is probably a gross simplification of the game. so I took it with a grain of salt. I know EQ2 had that happen to them as well. In the early months of WoW, people left it by the thousands. Overtime, they slowly trickled back in. Of course, this is not "let's bag Blizzard and WoW" time. They are a brilliant company, who is to be admired for always delivering a superb product. Ever heard of Starcraft: Ghost? They had the completed product, sitting there waiting to be manufactured, and they canned it and started over from stratch, because they wanted to tap the powe of the next-gen console. If that isn't dedication to one's values, I don't know what is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prometheus Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I am not much into the WoW or AoE genre, but I'm on the whole very fond of computer games Including their programming aspect. Some of the games I really like to play are: 1. SWAT 3 2. Ghost Recon 3. Half-Life (Counter Strike) Dinesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RationalBiker Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Of course, this is not "let's bag Blizzard and WoW" time. They are a brilliant company, who is to be admired for always delivering a superb product. I wholeheartedly agree that Blizzard is a brilliant company. They do not crank out many games, but the games they do put out are top notch! So far, they only have three franchises; Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft. Each game and expansion from each franchise has done exceptionally well in the market, and has been well received by gamers and critics alike. Diablo 2 (with the LOD expansion) remains one of my favorite all time games. While I never got into Warcraft or Starcraft (I'm not much of an RTS'er), I do recognize based on limited play that they are high quality games. And I was definitely wowed by WOW. That was my first venture in the MMORPG genre, when I really hadn't thought I would be interested in those games. As to other companies, another all time favorite for me is Heroes of Might and Magic 3. I curse 3DO for what they did to the HOMM line in HOMM 4. UBISoft is working on a 5 now, which I'm curious to see. I'm hoping they will go back to the games "roots" a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
