The "I Got A New Game!" Thread

I think they've just given up hope, particularly in the wake of the disaster that was Duke Nukem Forever.

What does that have to do with HL3?

 

[cardgame]

It's another long-awaited sequel in an awesome series, and it turned out horribly.

If HL3 had been released, your comparison would actually make sense. Valve has said or done nothing official whatsoever.

 

[cardgame]

No, I'm not. Don't take my words out of context.

So I have never played any of the games of the Mass Effect series. So I picked the first and second copy up awhile ago when GameStop had a buy 2, get 1 free sale. I am still only on the first one and enjoying it a lot!

It starts out a little slow, which is fine for me, but wow is it starting to pick up like crazy now. I am kind of glad I randomly picked it up lol. Must finish first game!

Got Mount and Blade: With Fire & Sword. It's not easy, but it's interesting. Hopefully, it'll be better once I can actually afford good weapons and armor.

Theme Hospital is now available on gog.com. Awesome game, one of the best sim games out there with SimCity and Rollercoaster tycoon.

I like SimCity 2000 but no Sims

Got Mount and Blade: With Fire & Sword. It's not easy, but it's interesting. Hopefully, it'll be better once I can actually afford good weapons and armor.

You need to kite looters for awhile. Selling gunpowder in castles, spices in the north, and vodka in not Russia are generally good moves.

Recently got Crysis 2 for the PS3... I have to say it is a fun and interesting game, but even at the standard difficulty level, I have to do numerous autosaves and respawns due to enemies flanking and cutting me off.

Just got Tribes: Ascend. All in all, a pretty good game so far. I may do a review for it.

It's an interesting little indie came called, "Cute things dying violently."

 

[Adam7Eight]

Finally got Morrowind.

 

[cardgame]

I got Star Wars: Empire At War

It's a bit dated but seems fun so far.

Oh, also snagged Toy Soldiers, very fun game.

 

[Synobun]

Got gifted AI War: Fleet Command 2 days ago.

Oh god why is it so hard

 

[aronnax]

I just had enough Gamersgate blue coins (4994) to buy Heart of Irons 2 Complete (4990)!

Bought the CD years ago but lost it. Now I can play it again!

10 Minutes later...

Maybe I should have bought darkest hour. Damn.

Although terribly expensive in US markets, I found an affordable ($25) copy of Star Trek Elite Force II through eBay. It runs fine, and I'm currently enjoying the sequel to a favorite game from my teens. It's ten years old now, but it looks fine to me.

Today I shot Captain Picard several times. I felt kind of awkward when he complimented me on my shooting and invited me to join him in a cup of tea..

 

[remake20]

Bought Towns. I'll post some screenshots when I get some good ones.
