Played some Far Cry and finally made it to level 14, which I love so far. I also did serious work on my Build level for Duke Atomic Edition, and had a really cool battle in it with bots.

[Alan]

Got my ass beat by TerminX and MBlackwell in Duke 3D the night before last.

Last game I played was Leisure Suit Larry 6 but I had some trouble with it (even in dosbox).. it locked up in my hotel room for instance.

I'd almost forgotten how many things you can examine in old adventure games though.. you can use the eye icon on basically everything and get an often witty description (and often very dry ).

Let's make an appointment then, once the Prey demo comes out, we're going to play in the same server, OK?
It'll be a few days after the demo is released, possibly a week, though, since exams (and parties after exams) get priority

Hopefully Joe will also join, then I can frag him, that will be frustrating for him, hahaha

I'll be playing through the Singleplayer part first though...
I don't want my first experiences with the gameplay features spoiled in MP...

I'll certainly pop in as soon as i'm ready though...
The server should be easy to recognize... Perhaps Yatta could make another 3DR forums server, like he did with FEAR... (although, the Ping wasn't always that great, probably because of the great distance between our homes)

Of course, that's why I said it'd take a week, during that week I'll study my exams, and play once through the singleplayer myself, so there is no time left for multiprey

That's exactly it, maybe it could be named differently? The 3DR & Duke4.net server. That way I can join too, otherwise it would be odd for me to join a pure 3DR server
I'm sure Yatta would be willing to do that (Yatta? ), but I don't know about Orochi Avlis (because he doesn't post here), who also makes lots of servers... and there will probably even other people making one, I don't know If 3DR makes an official 3DR server then I'm in serious trouble

We could aalways make invitations to people...
Or whoever hosts the server, could simply post a thread about this at 3DR, to attract more players we know...

And yeah, we better call it Duke4.net Prey server...
hen you'd feel more home...

[avatar_58]

I'll be joining both if you guys make a server.

Metal Slug in MAME :

[avatar_58]

Finished Bad Mojo Redux. Really unique game.

[Micki!]

Damn, Bad Mojo... I remember that old game, when i saw it by a friend...
How old exactly, is that game..?

Anyways, that Metal Slug game looks fun...

[Cerberus_e]

Tried to play Swat 4 Demo but the application doesn't want to go further than the splash screen Seems like it's loading endlessly.
I'm redownloading, maybe it was corruption or something (which would surprise me a lot). Unless someone of you recognises the problem?

[Micki!]

I've been playing BF2 in about half an hour... then some damn connection lost error pops up, and destroys the whole gameplay for me...

However, my connection is just fine, so it's the damn game's fault... Grrrr...

The original was back in 96, but the redux edition (better video quality, bug fixes, xp compatibility etc) came out in 2004. Its also got a bonus DVD I haven't yet checked out. Definately worth the $7.99 CAD I paid for it.

I've been playing some PS2 games lately.

Virtua Fighter 4 - Great fighting game, although I dislike games with a lack of "things to do"...Good fighting, but besides that theres really not much else to do. They need a create a fighter mode.

PRIDE Fighting Championships - One of my favorite fighting and wrestling/technical submission games. I enjoy creating people, giving them specifc fighting styles and going at it with some of the best (Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Sakuraba, etc.)

Mercenaries - Awesome, awesome game. A very "GTA-like" game set on a battle field. I love it. (Although the Chinese are very unhappy with me right now. damn you south koreans!)

[ultra tree 85!]

Played more Far Cry and finally made it to level 17.

Blood 2: The Chosen demo

[Cerberus_e]

Shadowgrounds demo




A very fun game. Reminds me a lot of Doom 3 (moon of Jupiter, alien infested base, "all hell has broken lose" lines, same artistic direction, reading emails and PDAs, same HUD style, ...).
It's definitely worth getting the full version of.

[avatar_58]

I might get that one sometime, as long as it isn't too expensive. I got the feeling it might become a tad repetitive awfully fast.

[Cerberus_e]

Yes, it does, but the overall quality more than makes up for it. The game isn't that long, I think the full game is only 10 or 12 levels. (by looking at the empty slots in "load game", and you can't save yourself).
PS: the non-steam version is the same as the steam version, right?

Finished the demo now. I love the level design in the fifth level (third demo level).
You have to go through long corridors, but every now and then there is an obstacle ahead of you. Then you can try to overcome it, or break a window to the side, go outdoors, and then break the glass again a bit further to go back in the corridor. But beware, there could be monsters outside as well




I love the dynamic shadows when the flashlight is turned on. However, sometimes the shadows look odd (just like they are tall walls)
PS: To Laffer, who plans on playing the demo, I don't know if your FX5500 will suffice to have at least decent quality. But you can try.

[avatar_58]

I got a major 'oldschool' contra style vibe from this game, and thats basically all I expected and thats hardly a bad thing. Its a very good game to just pick up and waste a few hours on killing shit.

Like I said though, I think its a little over what I would pay for it. When it hits $20 CAD I'll go for it.

[ultra tree 85!]

Played with the Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project editor.
Also played some more Counterstrike.

[ultra tree 85!]

I just bought and played GTA: Liberty City Stories for the ps2.
It's interesting to have another game set in Liberty City with a new story and characters. I'm liking it a lot so far.
