FEAR: Extraction Point
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's out already?
Man, games are getting released so fast, I saw Dark Messiah is released as well because someone from my class has it (though that one can wait just like the Sin episodes because it's tied to Steam, I'll ask that guy from my class if I can borrow it when he's finished because I don't buy Steam products). Splinter Cell 4: Double Agent is also supposed to be released around this time. I haven't even found the time to finish Call of Juarez and Call of Cthulhu yet. Not to mention I'm still in Splinter Cell 2: Pandora Tommorow I haven't played some other games yet this year like Hitman 4: Blood Money and a few others And then Crysis and all will get released, and I still have a lot of classics on my "to play" list. Life is too short

TrackMania



Many people from my class are addicted to this game
Is there a place where the tracks from serers are stored? If so, where? If not, how can I save them in the future?

[Micki!]

I've never tried Track mania... Though, it looks fun...
I like the fast and stunt-ish gameplay it seems to have... Is it any fun..?

[Cerberus_e]

Yes, it's addictive It's like today's "4D Driving Sports: Stunts" (only with a more boring setting... but the stunts are more complex )
I even made my own user track already.

[Micki!]

I should go try it then... i remember having a demo of it on one of those PC game magazine discs...

I'd rather want a Carmageddon 4 though

[Cerberus_e]

There is a free version of TrackMania available:

It's the one I was playing.

Doesn't that have starforce? If thats the same free one I downloaded then it does.

[Cerberus_e]

****, you're right. I just used the removal tool and it removed Starforce.
What is the logic of using Starforce on free products? Incredible.

About Starforce, is it possible to install Chaos Theory without installing Starforce?

[Micki!]

I always hear about this "Starforce" and how people hate it... What's the deal with it (yes, i'm too lazy to look that up at Wikipedia )

Anyways, i'll get my impression from the demo...

[Cerberus_e]

Why demo if there is a full version available?
About Starforce, many say it corrupts your computer (particularly DVD Drive) but I haven't seen any convincing proof yet. It's more like everyone is believing everyone
But until there is proof I'm still going to be safe and avoid Starforce

Yes, I'll send the info via pms. Theres also a way to install POP3 without it too.

Call of Juarez



I finished the game now Good game, though it dragged on at the end with useless combat sequences Well, at least the game is lengthy enough.

Micki! (or someone else), what I don't understand:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

The preacher (Reverend Ray) says Juarez killed his brother, but later he says he killed his brother because he thought his brother was getting a gun while in fact it was a bible. What is it now? I'm sure there are a few more story connections I don't get about who is family of who and who cheated on who with who Who is that Thomas guy (another brother of Reverend)? Is he the same guy as Billy? I seem to vaguely remember Billy and Reverend are related in some way too (stepbrother or so) Man it's complicaed.

Also, it's called the gold of Juarez, and Juarez was hunting the gold (searching 17 years for Billy Candle). well if it's his gold he's supposed to have it already and know where it is, right?

Oh yes something else, I thought he lost his medaillion?

Oh yes, I only found 7/40 wanted posters.

[Micki!]

From what i get, the connections are like this:

Billy has a mother, he never knew his real dad (it turns out later it was Juarez)

Billy had a stepfather, called Thomas, who was married with Billy's mother... Thomas has also a brother, that brother is Ray, Thomas doesn't like Billy for some reason... And because of that, his brother (Ray) has got the exact same impressions of Billy, because all he heard about him, is bad stuff

Juarez, is Billy's real father, and he was either married, or a lover of some sort for Billy's mother...

PS
Don't always take Ray's sayings literally... he's speaking stuff that must be understood in other fashions sometimes i think... Metaphors..?
---

About the meddallion, billy DID lose it, but when he looked at the graves, he said he could still remember the exact shape etc of it, therefor a ghost pic of it appears when he looks through the stone-cross holes
I suppose that is what you meant when you say he lost it, buit it's still there..?

[edit:]
It's already some time ago i played it... only got through it once... i have too many games to play through so i might have messed up the facts a bit, since i don't remember everything all that well

Yes, but also Juarez saying afterwards: you lied to me. Maybe Juarez thought he found the gold with the aid of the real medaillion?

Yes, exactly... he's a greedy bastard, and thought that you were trying to steal it, because he's somewhat paranoid...

Splinter Cell 2: Pandora Tommorow

[Nihilanth]

Deus Ex

Got to LaGuardia airport in order to kill Juan Lebedev but I'm gonna start it all over. Gotta try something new, I'll play the game without spending exp points and using augmentations. I'm also considering total pacifist style: not killing anyone throughout the entire game.

[ultra tree 85!]

Sin 1.

Just played through the dam level, and I'm on the Freeport Water Works level now.
I've drained the water and everything, but I can't find the key to complete the final objective. The thunder sound effects in the water works level are awesome . It's my favorite level so far, and Sin is becoming one of my favorite first person shooters.

I also played The Sims, with the Unleashed, Hot Date, Livin' Large, and the Vacation expansions all also installed. I'd forgotten how addictive this game is. I played for hours.

I'm getting behind with playing new games-I still haven't gotten Half-Life 2: Episode one, and every time I check with EB Games or Gamestop, they don't have it in stock. I also need to buy Extraction Point. I almost read a walkthrough for Half-Life 2: Episode one, because I'm curious to know what happens next in the story, but I resisted, because I'd rather experience it properly. I don't know how long I'll be able to last without spoiling it, though.

The Ship: Source



This game is pure greatness! Thanks to everyone involved in making this free weekend possible. I think it's great to hunt someone with the feeling you're being hunted yourself And it's fun to pretend you're the hunter of someone so they kill you out of self-defence... but then they get fined for killing me, because I'm not their real hunter

[Micki!]

Last Game i played was Dark Messiah Multiplayer...

The Game itself (Singleplayer) is AWESOME imo... deffenetaly something i'll go and beat several times, in several ways if possible

I'm looking forward to the patch, which will fix many bugs (mosty, which i didn't notice though, only 3-4 throughout the whole game i think, but that was also only my first time through)
Anyways, As i said, i tried Multiplayer too... It's not NEARLY as great as Singleplayer, since it's lacking many of the features that made singleplayer so awesome (Those basicly being: Full Body Awareness, Picking up physical object, and manipulate them in whatever means you want to, use them as a weapon or stack them etc, more general use of physics being part of actual gameplay, use of an dynamic environment, and som,e special features which have been altered such as backtsabbing in Multiplayer having an otehr result as if backstabbing someone in singleplayer)

However, the skill system etc works.. although, it appears there are some flaws with the balance, and how character classes should be used... (Archers jumping out in the middle of the battlefield, and attacking face-to-face against a Warrior etc) It's deffenately a game one should try online, as long it's with friends, or poeple you know... I had a bunch of fun with 2 otehr friends, when we were experimenting on what sorts of spells the Mage had... Damn there were some nasty but cool ones

anyways, mainly, it's the singleplayer which contains the "AWESOME" part...

Been playing Splinter Cell Double Agent

[ultra tree 85!]

Just played 4 straight hours of Half-Life 1 for ps2.

[ultra tree 85!]

Just played some Sin 1. I'm stuck on level 29, containment area 57.

[ultra tree 85!]

Finshed Sin 1.

I also started playing Sin Episodes: Emergence, and played for around two hours. The graphics seem really nice, and I really like the game so far.

[ultra tree 85!]

Sin Episodes: Emergence. I love how the enemies catch on fire, and how their bodies blow apart. It's especially awesome how the jetpack enemies catch on fire, and fly around out of control. At one point, I threw a grenade into a room with the machine gun's alt fire, and a sintek soldier came blasting through the window on fire.

Riding around in Jessica's car is also really cool. Ritual did a really good job with this game.

[ultra tree 85!]

Finished Sin Episodes: Emergence, and played some Serious Sam 2.

[ultra tree 85!]

My copy of Half-life 2: Episode one finally arrived, and I just played about 45 minutes of it.

[Micki!]

A brief game of Garry's mod 10...
Looks promising... gotta learn it all a little better, but that doesn't look hard..!

I'll play ALOT more once it's weekend, then i'll visit 2 friends, and play with them all day
