    True, its definetly not a game worth shelling out full whack for, but i still like it in some ways...... Its different to the original but i like how its more tactical with some RPG elements mixed in. Still though, cant beat base building and amassing a huge army and crushing the opposition :)

    I enjoyed the single player campaign to an extent but it didn't grab me as much as the original DoW did when it came out.

    gah, ive become re-addicted to age of empires conquers, you post just reminded me i wasnt playing it...

    oh well, i might as well submit and start it up

    Ah yeah, don't think any of the other games in the series ever quite matched up to aoc and aok. Thankfully i'm incapable of starting it up :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 869 ✭✭✭flying _squirl


    aww, that sucks man. yea, i tried aoe 3 and aom, they were fun but something was missing.

    heh, actually, because of this game a made a 4 foot high trebuchet. XD


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,629 ✭✭✭raah!


    A picture! (of the trebuchet)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 869 ✭✭✭flying _squirl


    hmm, it was about 2 years ago. i think i have some somewhere. i still have the plans


    BDW, raah, you didnt happen to do model making in IADT did you?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    AOE 3 was a good game I thought,a lot of the AOE 2 fans did'nt like it though,I must reinstall it actually I have'nt played it in an age.

    Nope, I don't know what that is :).

    @seph: Judging from my last days of online aoe2, most of the opposition to it was from deathmatch players, and they don't really count. :). If you talking about the one player then I don't know.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    you a fan of aoe3 also?:) did you get the expansion?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,629 ✭✭✭raah!


    Yup, got both expansions, stopped playing it as much because of the leaving cert and the growing ineptitude of my computer. Did you play it online?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    I tryed to before but it crashed on me :S how bout you?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,629 ✭✭✭raah!


    Yeah, played it mostly online. Good game, and the online game is like a zillion times better than the one player. The games were mostly made for multiplayer loike.

    It's certainly a good all night game too, what with all the americans and koreans on there. I remember it used to get very dead around 7am-10am though.... but I doubt that is relevant information to anyone :)

    I used to play against the A.I :-/,must try it online sometime,do people still even play it online?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,629 ✭✭✭raah!


    I imagine they do, at low times there was about 1500 people on the server. I was never not able to get a game.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    Its a darn pity the crowd that made the games (cant think of the studios name) closed down :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 869 ✭✭✭flying _squirl


    ensomble. they made that new 'halo wars' game


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    thats the crowd,they did indeed make halo wars it was there last project :(

    Black is...hummmm, motivating, to say the least.

    And Kratos is the second baddest motherf*cker around, second only to this guy :D

    At the moment I'm playing the Become A Legend part of the new PES game and patiently waiting for Operation Flashpoint 2 to come out (and hoping my laptop has the specs to handle it!)

    This is also by far my most successful thread and I didn't even have to talk about nudity or generalise about the appearance of Irish women.

    I used to play final fantasy XI.

    If you want to destroy your social life and sleep only enough so you survive then play this game... Most addictive game ever. Only stopped because I ran out of money. I quite literally dreamt of playing this game when I wasn't playing...

    I got like that with. Azure Dreams, MGS4, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars, Dawn of war and a couple other games over the years

    Lol, I'm a current WoW player, and have to agree with what many have said, it's disturbingly addictive :( it's a bit of fun when everyone in the group is having a few drinks, usually takes the edge off it (man some people are just daft how serious they take the game)

    haha yeah I know, it would be better if we were out having a few drinks with real people, but hey, it's cheaper this way, recession and all that (that's my excuse anyway :P)

    Did get into spore a couple of months ago, good game but for some reason I always find myself coming back to Black & White every couple of years, brilliant game that, sadly I've never played part 2 :(

    I loved that game so much.

    its got to be oblivion for me... i dont know what it is, the game just eats hours. Quest to quest to quest..before you know it the suns rising and the familliar sting of parental disappoinment hits.

    I never got into Oblivion at all. Morrowind was insane, but Oblivion really didn't get much of a look from me. At first it was because I was playing WoW, but when I did play it in the end, I was fairly disappointed.

    Seriously, someone take Street fighter 4 away from me before I turn into Ryu.


    And even when I'm not playing that, the awesome co op in Resistance 2 has me. I joined the shadow lords :)

    Im still playing empire total war almost every day,football manager 2009 is also taking up a lot of my time.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    Spent all of yesterday (and a good deal of the night) playing Skate 2, really enjoying it even if I have to search on Google for sk8r-spk to English translations of what it is the missions are asking me to do (e.g. "Do a body flip and slide" means do either a front or back-flip and then a certain type of grind) :) I did unlock tons of stuff yesterday though, so happy days :)

    I know it's old but I've spent countless nights awake till all hours playing Battlefield 2.

    One of the best games ever imo.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,872 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM

    I finshed the main single player arc in Skate 2 last night and decided to make some videos and upload them :)

    Video 1

    Video 2

    Video 3

    Handy feature just to do something fun with the game :)

    Busting my ass on my project is making me REALLY miss gaming. So tempted to yoink my brother's Xbox as soon as the exams are over and get stuck into something.

    Why just be tempted? You know you want to pull an all nighter...

    I spent a stupid amount of time last Friday night drunkenly trying to play the official Pretty in Pink video game... I'm not joking!

    Couldn't get past the second level.. :(
