Despite the bad comments I think I'll pick up Shogo. sounds like it might be decent for $6. Man I am going to have a TON of game backlog and don't have a day off until Monday.

Descent 3 is much different from the first two with it's open areas and mission objectives. But the game is gorgeous even today and has plenty of exciting robot fighting action that it should satisfy most people who played the first 2. I thought the automap was confusing at first but once you figure it out you shouldn't have a problem. Besides, the Guidebot is so much better you probably won't eed the automap most of the time anyway.

Count me in for Giants multiplayer. And if you haven't bought the game yet, buy it! One of my favorite games in terms of humor and play.

I return to the level select screen, are all levels locked besides the very first one. Happened to me too. Seems to be a glitch. I played through again and it hasn't happened since.

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:Got Giants and Rise of the Triad, which I haven't played, and FreeSpace 2 which I have. Giants is cool, but the jetpack controls annoy me. How often do I have to use it throughout the game? There are some situations in the Mecc levels where you will need to use it to progress but otherwise you can go through a good portion of the levels without it.

FLX posted:So, I've never touched any Myst(-like) game at all, but I'm kind of curious what the hype is/was all about now. Which games and in which order should I play to get the "most" out of it? Real Myst, Riven and Uru? How long are the games in general by the way? Riven takes place after Myst so you have to play Myst or RealMyst before you play Riven. I have never played Uru so I don't know. Though I would assume that it would be a good idea to play Myst before hand RealMyst is a 3D version of Myst that has a bonus age that you do not need to play. The original Myst is 2D still images with FMV scenes. I haven't played too much of RealMyst (I only played the bonus age a few years ago on GameTap) but it is gorgeous, although Myst still looks fairly good despite its age. Myst is actually pretty short once you figure out the puzzles. Although some of the sound puzzles can be frustrating however. (The Maze, anyone whose played will know what I am talking about) I haven't played much of Riven either but from what I have heard the world is much larger and the puzzles are more involved. And like Myst, still looks good after all this time.

flatluigi posted:Oh, that reminds me. Only look at this when you start unlocking other places, but the rocket ship area has a puzzle that is much easier if you've done the gear area first. What's in the Mechanical Age that makes the Selentic Age easier?

Beto Rocha posted:New Weekend sale is up, SciFi Sim All-Stars: Descent 1 and 2 are standard 90's FPS fare done with a spaceship. and robots. There are some great levels although be forewarned, Descent 1's enemies have strong attacks and the game is pretty brutal. Still excellent though. Descent 2 has far less powerful robots (Early on anyway) and has a much better difficulty curve. Definitely worth the purchase. Although, D2 on GOG does not have the Vertigo series expansion. While it is a good expansion pack you won't miss anything if you skip it and go straight to D3, just some mention of characters from D3. Descent 3 is less like the first 2. It's objective based rather than "find keys and kill stuff" but it has some great music and gorgeous levels, although I will admit it has aged they still look pretty good. The expansion, Mercenary, is pretty good overall. Very short though. The Freespace series is probably the BEST Sci-Fi military sim series ever. While I feel Freespace 2 is a better game than Freespace 1 there is no reason NOT to play FS1 before FS2. You can either buy it or just buy FS2 Or get the Freespace Port. Also, a tip for FS1, do yourself a favor and don't play Silent Threat. EDIT: Beaten on FSOpen but Descent 1 and 2 have ports to play on as well. You can play both on D2X-XL or DXX-Rebirth I personally use the Rebirth ports (Separate ports for each game) but they both allow new graphical features and higher resolutions. EDIT2: Crap. Beaten on all accounts, I take too long to write a post. OptimusShr fucked around with this message at Apr 23, 2010 around 15:29 |

CaudaVenenus posted:Small guns alone probably won't get you through the game and melee / hand-to-hand are nigh useless. Small guns alone is all you need for both Fallout 1 AND Fallout 2 unless you actually want to fight the last 2 bosses in Fallout 1. Otherwise you can beat them without firing a shot but you need to do some VERY specific things to do it. And if you do some very specific things in Fallout 2 you can get some allies and turrets to kill the last boss. No input on your part required. All you really need for both games are: Small guns, repair, lockpick, steal, and speech. The only mod you may need for Fallout 2 from GOG is Killapps unofficial patch to fix the encounter rate. The encounter rate and map speed are tied to processor speed so if you have a fast processor you move like lightning and have more fights. The map speed is fixed in the GOG version so you need to configure the .ini file so the encounter rate is fixed and the map speed isn't agonizingly slow. Also, if you don't use the patch. Take the ddraw.dll file from a Fallout 1 install and make a copy in your Fallout 2 folder so you won't have funky colors. *Although you can fix the colors by alt+tabbing)

al-azad posted:Fallout 2's final boss is a little more difficult. The rear end in a top hat will target you 99% of the time and the turrets + help + allies can only do so much against his super power armor and 999hp. The guy was hitting me for 60-120hp of damage per shot and I was in loving enclave power armor. I beat him only through luck by spamming healing and he turned his attention one or two times to attack the turrets. I was playing a wimpy speech guy so if you build your dude for combat he shouldn't be that hard. The 30 tries paid off with the best 2D death animation in the world. Really? I just stayed near the console that activates the turrets for a few turns and didn't take a hit. I moved closer to him to see if I could deliver teh final shot but he still didn't hit me.

Are you getting it through the downloader or straight from the site? I downloaded Freespace 1 from the downloader once and the file failed the integrity check. The one I got straight from the site worked just fine. Give whichever method you're not using a whirl and see if that works.

I said come in! posted:I'm gonna buy Freespace 2, i've never played it before. I understand the game is open source now, what are the mods to download for it? Freesoace 2 open with the mediaVPs is pretty much required to play almost all mods. The latest version (3.6.12) is here with installation instructions The Hard Light Productions forums and the Freespace wiki will give you all the campaign mods that are available.

Meldonox posted:Have I been missing out? Descent and Giants: Citizen Kabuto kinda stand out for me, but I'm afraid they may not have aged well. What should I be thinking about getting? Descent 1 and 2 are your standard mid-90's FPS game just with a spaceship. Find keys blow reactor and escape. Descent three is objective based but looks better and is still very good. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't pick up giants. it looks gorgeous and is funny as all hell.

MonkeyforaHead posted:Meanwhile Descent 3 crashes on startup constantly and has severe graphical anomalies both in the frontend and ingame. Not sure about the crashing but with the graphical glitches the games 3D API is set to glide. Set it to DirectX or OpenGL and it should fix it.
