I actually recently just bought the first Neverwinter Nights and I'm trying to finish it before the second one.



And I concur on Shenmue 3. If it doesn't get released ever, I will be very sad.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

I'm just hoping that leveling your character is timed better with the storyline in this NWN.  I hit 20 way before the end of the game, so it wasn't like I was progressing as I went farther in.

I have to say though a level 20 ranger with a horrendous amount of attacks with both hands is pretty funny.  "Hey there's an orc!" attack 30 times before it does, dead.  "Hey there's a dragon!" rinse and repeat.

Everyone I've played with has told me rangers are horrible, yet I'm pretty sure with dnd I totally had a ranger and kicked some supreme ass with it.

Just bought Galactic Civilisations 2, and I highly recommend it if you like space empire sims.

I am interested in:

  • Neverwinter Nights 2
  • Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (god, who isn't)
  • Supreme Commander
  • Star Wars: Empire at War
  • Warhammer: Mark of Chaos[/list:u]

    I'm also thinking about looking into D&D Online, but I'm still a little wary of MMORPGs.

A Warhammer game came out and nobody told me.  Though, it is that silly fantasy stuff.  I have a demo of Star Wars: Empire at War, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet.  Man, after April 2nd, all of my problems will go away.  Also,

D&D online is an oddball game.  They probably wouldn't have stuck it with the MMORPG tag if WoW wasn't out there.  D&D online is more like NWN with multiplayer and no single player.

You have to group up to complete most quests which can be fun or a pain in the ass.  The mechanics of the game are really interesting where if there is something you think might help, they probably programmed it in.  Example: swimming.  If you take off your armor you can swim faster and farther.  Nobody tells you this so it's pretty funny the first time your group goes for a long swim and one out of five guys makes it.

Overall, I think the game isn't worth it at this time in it's current state.  There are only 10 levels so if you really enjoy the game and play it a lot, you can hit level 10 in 2-3 weeks I think.  Most MMORPGs have a lot of high end content to keep you busy at the top level and make you rush throught the leveling.  D&D online is more about playing through each level and I don't really know if there is much to do once you hit the max level.

Hmm...
STALKER (Even if it's in "Shit, let's make it somewhat playable to get it out before 2007" state, as THQ is demanding)
Gears of War
Half-Life 2: Aftermath

To be honest, I'm too game-jaded at this point.  I like sifting through the detritus of yesteryear and playing awesome games that are more than, oh, 2 years old.

man, ok.  I'm gonna paste something from my LJ here because it's pertinent to the conversation:

MARCH 2006 SPACE SIM SHOOTOUT    [21 Mar 2006|09:48pm]
CONTENDER #1: GALACTIC CIVILIZATIONS II
CONTENDER #2: STAR WARS: EMPIRE AT WAR

#1 - Galactic Civilizations II

Downloaded this game, played it for a bit, realised it was worth my money. I bought it online and plugged the serial number into the game. Since then have played a bunch more fun games and downloaded a couple of patches that have fixed a few bugs and added a bunch of delicious new spaceship parts for the designer.


#2 - Star Wars: Empire at War

Downloaded this game, installed it. Downloaded the v1.02 patch, ran it. The patch deleted a bunch of files needed to run the game, then exited with the phrase "Unknown Error!". I uninstalled the game, sat cursing at my screen for five minutes, then loaded up Galactic Civilizations II.


WINNER: GALACTIC CIVILIZATIONS II



Star Wars: Empire at War may or may not be a good game for all I know, I couldn't get the fucking thing to work.  I'd be very very very pissed off right about now though if I had gone out and bought a legit copy and had that shit happen to me.  Seriously wondering whether to try again and try to play it pre-patch so that I can at least see if it's worth my  money, or if I should just cut my losses and enjoy GalCiv2 some more.

Sounds like the issues I had with the new Lord of the Rings game.  Just said...  FUCK THAT NOISE and moved on.  GalCiv was okay for a while, but nowhere near as expansive as Homeworld 2.  Now THAT was my kind of game.  Mmm.

Snagged me Oblivion.  But I just finished working.  And am still setting up a Linux server.  So no go till tomorrow, at best.

Make a new character. re-roll. It's the first 10 levels or so that are the fun part.

[edit]...in general. I haven't played dnd online so it depends on how much low level content there is.

Is Spore due out sometime so? If so I'll put that on the top of my list. NWN2 I guess, that should be intersting. The only other game that I can think of is RFOnline.

I've read some bad things about D&D Online, so I'm taking it off my list retroactively.

I'm not editing my earlier post or anything, so just take it off with your mind.

DO IT.

just want to add:
  • Crysis
  • Half-Life 2: Aftermath
  • Medieval II: TotalWar
  • Settlers2: Remake (a graphical update to Settlers 2.  Looks good & I liked the original)[/list:u]

    there are a few more that look interesting, but nothing that leaps out as a "must get"
