The "I Got A New Game!" Thread

[GAGA Extrem]

Recently got "Rock of Ages", "Dead Pixels" and "Proteus".

Rock of Ages is really cool, Monty-Python art style, funny scenarios, interesting game mechanics.

Dead Pixels is really "retro". Unfortunately it seems there isn't too much replay value... :/
...however, it's only 3€, so I guess that is okay.

Proteus is weird. It is hardly a "game", more like an "experience" - but it is VERY well executed. Despite the lack of any real "action", the game deeply touched me - more than any of my recent "real games" did. The 9€ price tag is a bit high, but there isn't really any "game" out there that is remotely comparable, so...

I got Rock of Ages awhile back, it's freaking hilarious. I'm terrible at setting up a decent defense, though.

Dragonborn.

Does that game have wide-screen support now ? How did you play it ?
When i tried to replay it a few years back it was impossible.

I have the CD version; I just installed it on Windows 7 (64-bit Professional) and it was good to go. I don't think it has wide-screen support, but I haven't played it in months.

Dragonborn.

How do you find it so far? Worth a purchase?

 

[Double A]

Are there Ordinators? Are they still fun to brutally murder?

Haha I'm still working on getting my 101 mods patched and compatible with Dragonborn. UKSP has broken something horribly making me unable to absorb dragon souls. And Realistic Lighting Overhaul doesn't work on Solsthiem so I'm waiting for that along with Enhanced Light and FX. A few other things too. Not sure how SkyTest Realistic Animal Behavior plays with the monsters added. So it'll probably be another week before I can get my ass on that island.

I think I spend more time modding than I do playing.

Playing Torchlight 2 finally and I'm really impressed! Also the synergies mod made for it is extremely well done.

Got Guild Wars 2. Was more fun than I had expected! I was afraid it'd be like Guild Wars 1 where you had to follow a path but I like the open world feel of it. I'm upgrading my PC so I can play it beyond the lowest settings at 18 fps though so I'm excited

 

[Maniacal]

Any FPS over ~14 is, surprisingly, playable. Equally surprising is how pathetically little gain I get from lowering almost any of the setting to min instead of max because the game barely sues your GPU and instead relies upon your CPU.

Also what server did you join?

 

[Leonel]

Tarnished Coast

Tarnished Coast

Same as Maniacal and I. Hooray. I'm not online super often these days but have been meaning to check out new patch at some point. Super busy though.

 

[Maniacal]

I've seen my friend who hasn't played since release online more than you recently

@Leonel: What is your username?

 

[Leonel]

Olathe.6593 I think. I'm completely new to Guild Wars 2 so I dunno.

 

[Hammer Rabbi]

I wish they'd invent a game called Guilt Wars. I think it has potential.

 

[Double A]

Quick, someone email PETA.

 

[Zack]

Hearts of Iron III + all expansions
Victoria II
Legacy of Rome + Sword of Islam (CK2)
DOTA 2
FTL
Unity of Command + Red Turn
Torchlight II

Not enough time in the day.

 

[cardgame]

Call of Duty 1 still works on Windows 7

 

[Maniacal]

It does indeed

So does Oregon Trail too. One of the 32-bit ones anyway.

Cool hearing from you in Guild Wars 2, Maniacal!
