haven't played Half Life 1 or the expansions but got the Orange Box and loved it...the power of the Gravity Gun is just epic
have Max Payne but haven't played it. i buy games with good intentions and then just forget about them. i've about 15 games on the Xbox i still have to play. don't even get me started on my PC collection
Well there's your problem :pac::p
Seriously though, it's a chance thing. The higher your skill level with x weapon, the better chance of hitting. Did you play for 5 minutes, try attacking a guard and then quit when he kicked your ass? :P
Also, morrowind (as with all games) belongs on a PC.All great! Is the new AvP any use? I only played the original and it seemed way ahead of its time.
AvP1 was such a pants-****tingly amazing game. 2 and 3 just dont seem to capture the magic somehow. It's not as dark, or scary, or immersive. I didn't like the feel of
the third one, it just didn't feel right. Not responsive, not instinctive, which was a great aspect of the original.0 -
I was playing it on a PC :P i put in a good amount of time in it, but when i compare the combat system with Oblivion, it just blows it away completely. though there's some things with Oblivion that i just don't like.spoonbadger wrote: »Well there's your problem :pac::p

i played a good few weeks of it, got to yer man's house in Balmoral for the main quest, then started going off doing my own thing i always used magicka for combating but i'd like to use swords and such, but it's too hard.
ah i've got an xbox and it's just easier to buy games for it rather than upgrade my desktop. i don't have the money to keep it updated. i'm a poor student :pac: though i will only play strategy games on PC. on consoles it's just blasphemy 0 -
This is true, strategy games on consoles are just a moot concept :pac:
Ahkay, now, i never went down the magic route! And i've heard that does change **** a *lot*. I always went stealth/combat route and absolutely adored that game. Bah, opinion i guess.
Oblivion seemed too damny consoley!!! They took out the all the complicated parts, and lost the immersion in the process 0 -

The first-person view in Oblivion and Morrowind kinda turned me away from getting involved in them a little since I was so wrapped up in Icewind Dale and Baldurs Gate (and Diablo 2, but that's a different matter). Very, very different games I know but back then I liked my action one way and my strategy/micro another way.
Oblivion became an exercise in screwing around and being an explorer (kinda how Fallout 3 went for me too now that I think about it)0 -

Took back up fallout New Vegas, I dropped it a while back because I was just finding it pure ****e! Its going better now.
Got dead rising 2 but I rage quitted earlier after I kept dying on that first boss guy, running all the way back each time from the safe house was just irritating.
Bought ODDworld: Abes odyssey and crazy taxi off PS store.
I often play some GTA gay toni and Black ops online with friends.
Thats the ps3 side of things anyway. I also play my ps1 whenever I feel like it
For the pc I like playing CSS and TF2, Sims 2 occasionally too.
I used too and miss playing WoW, the leaving cert is getting in the way of it so I had to take a break
I'm thinking of buying minecraft soon because everyone is saying its great.0 -

I'm the opposite, I went straight for the damned! It's cool, there's some crossover between the three storylines. But the Damned is all about the bikes baybeeee, so yeah, fun times 0 -

The X-Com games were class! I saw a modern one advertised and it just wasn't the same. I'm all about the turn based tactics
If you like the Thief games then you should check out Splinter Cell - Double Agent. Really good. Also I imagine most of the Hitman games are up your alley too.0 -

Aye I agree, won't capture the essence of the original games. The games are about Squad based tactics and not a FPS!
Got a few games to play at the moment, little by little I am going through Amnesia: The Dark Descent, possibly the most Nocturnal game of them all (it's really scary....too scary ) 0 -

Speaking of Nocturnal... has anyone played The Darkness?
It was a bit of an odd FPS with some "go talk to people" action included. But the idea of using the darkness.... great! Plus Mike Patton doing the voice of the Darkness = great! Plus as part of the game you have to devour the hearts of fallen victims. Actually kinda want to play it when I get home! 0 -
