Does anyone still play any pc games?
if so, what are you currently into?
my time is very limited so I play cs.go every now and then. due the star wars hype I got myself sw.bf and its fun for 30-60 mins. |
I've been playing Rampage Knights and Of Guards And Thieves lately. RK is really fun with another person, and Of Guards And Thieves is super fun with a bunch of friends.
|
Of course I do, long time ago I used to do when I had more time for myself. Sometimes I wish those years come back. :-P
Star wars games are the best for me. |
TFC, mostly. I bought Q*Bert Rebooted for the Steam Sale.... well worth it, IMHO. That's a nice little time waster. Peggle, Zuma, and I still play HL1/2/etc...
|
mostly blizzard games these days!
Heroes of the Storm Hearthstone (overwatch soon) My bro's play a lot of diablo 3 too. I also dabble in survival / roguelike indie games on steam. |
TFC still going strong then? :)
|
There are a few populated servers left out there. I know Drippy-'s catches some shit for the "anti-bhop" plugin he's got, but you can't argue with the fact that the server is full(26/26) pretty much every evening. Most of the other servers have at least a few bots in them... but bots get boring after a while.
I should also mention that I bought through Origin, the 17 game collection of Command and Conquer. It didn't go on sale during the holidays, but for $20, it's still a deal for that many games(every variation of every C&C game(except the N64 exclusive missions), plus the soundtrack in MP3 format). If I have one issue with it, it's that you can't play internet games with C&C and Tiberian Sun. But, all of the missions are there, and it plays very well on my Win7 64-bit machine. |
Anyone try the Xcom games? I've seen it, it caught my interest, just dunno if I wanna get it when it's on sale.

Answer: NOBODY. TFC has a pretty heavy learning curve. You're going to get your ass handed to you, even on a more noob friendly server. As least you won't see HW's moving faster than a Scout can run, and thinking "well, this game is WAAAY too hard." and stop playing. Once you've gotten decent without it, THEN it's time to move on and learn the more advanced stuff. Also, Drippy- didn't completely lock it out.... it's capped. What was the name of that one server....... Geezers and Broads, or something like that? They banned people for rocket/conc/nade/pipe jumping with the flag! Literally BANNED you for doing what's considered "basic" movement. You got ONE warning.... and perm'd if you did it again. Many of the new players are coming in from TF2. A game that has one of(in my opinion) the slowest paces of any FPS out there. To them, even on Drippy-'s, it's very fast paced mayhem. I'm not saying I teach scheduled classes or anything, but I talk to the new players, tell them it's a difficult game to learn, and try to guide them to stick with it and learn it. I do offer to go into an empty server and teach them some stuff. I'm not the best player ever, but they can learn some basic stuff, which makes them want to learn more. Once they've got that mentality, the sky is the limit. Oh, and yes, I do tell them about Fortress Forever. I let them know that FF is even faster paced than TFC, and to walk before they run. |

Also I think a lot of older gamers are super delusional and jaded about the learning curve of arena shooters. It looks a lot steeper than it actually is just because very few players come into the genre, and most of the ones who do are pretty young and impressionable guys, who are either looking for their hipster gaming fix, or just saw their first avi and thinks it's the coolest thing they've ever seen. The type of person who has little to no gaming experience, much less a grasp on the concept of "skilled gaming". |

Just saying it gives the wrong idea of how steep the learning curve actually is. |
I guess the curve has something to do with the individual player. Those who have played FPS games before know a little something, whereas "casual" gamers who haven't, are in for a shock.
Still, I do enjoy helping out the new people. I'll admit that my passion for TFC and FF is pretty high, even though I'm not the most skilled player ever. |
The games I play now is pretty much a few MMORPGs, a few smaller RPGs, an ancient mod for an ancient GTA game, and a few misc games, sometimes *cough* downloaded to see how good they are, if you know what I mean.
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and Guild Wars 2 - GW2 is fucking amazing.. and fucking HUGE. Too bad I ran into a small account problem I need to fix.. waiting on support. I tried out FF XIV because I was looking for a good mmorpg to play, came with a free month so I'll get enough out of that. Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, console RPG with interesting mechanics that borrow from other games such as Shadow of the Colossis, Monster Hunter etc that got a PC port. Path of Exile, dark gritty Diablo style RPG that a lot of the veteran Diablo 2 players wanted instead of Diablo 3 or some shit like that. Pretty good for free to play. San Andreas Multiplayer, MP mod for GTA:SA, been with that for about a good 5 years, playing on a specific server etc. I'm pretty much done with TFC and or other 'fortress' games, was good while it lasted. First person shooters don't have much appeal to me anymore. Quote:

Rust is pretty fun/terrifying/allows for fight or flight scenarios which will happen a lot. It's probably the most complete non-zombie survival fps game I've played and is only getting better over time. I think it's $20 for early access as it is still in alpha on Steam, but the most recent update has fixed the majority of lag problems. I have a nice PC, but it's far from the best out there and I am still able to run Rust on the highest graphics settings @ ~40fps.
I wasn't sure if I'd like the post apocalyptic aspect to it but it feels like an island where the government has marooned a bunch of savage people, wiped their memories and you have to claw your way to the top of the food chain by gathering resources, crafting tools/supplies and building up your own base or raiding others, starting by waking up naked with only a rock and a torch. There's big rad towns which house a number of items you can unlock with their blueprints and the dev team is currently working on somewhat of an RPG aspect by adding a leveling tree to the things you can unlock. Words I can say cannot begin to describe how fun and addictive this game is and I wholeheartedly recommend it. 8/10. |
Oh, not on Steam, but Origin has the entire Command and Conquer series for $20. I also have a GoG account, but they seem to specialize in REALLY old games.
On GoG, I have one of the old "AD&D" sets that I used to play on the Amiga BitD. Pool of Radiance, Hillsfar, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades... I originally bought Battle Chess and Pinball Fantasies from them, that was before they went to a "Steam-like" content delivery system. Made me really glad I'd kept the purchase e-mails. Aside from the C&C series, I also have Zuma's Revenge, Jade Empire, and Ultima VIII on Origin. They give away games once in a while, and no matter if it's a game I'm into or not, I'll grab it. Hey, free is free. ;) |
Have been playing TFC a bit and it felt like coming home from a long journey.
Everything looked a bit dusty, but once I got the flow going I remember why it has always been my personal fav game of all time. Really miss the good old tfc times |
right this minute been playing alot of squad (scratching that long held itch that was bf2!) :thumbsup:
|
Nope, sadly I haven't played PC games for a long time :(
... but I really miss it and plan to start again someday - there just isn't a [popular!] game that makes me want to enough atm. Hopefully something that grabs me will come along soon but even if nothing does I'll probably eventually give in and start playing some FF/TFC/TF2/CSGO/QL/etc :) |

Playing Rocket League at the moment. It's very silly but very fun. Movement based 3v3 / 4v4 multiplayer game playing football with flying cars.
|
I can't find anything else worth playing MP wise either. I'm either growing out of on-line play or games are shit these days. Not sure which. Plenty of SP games to keep me occupied though.

Anyone tried Overwatch? |
Hardly been playing anything recently.
I'm wondering whether Doom is worth a new computer. it's multiplayer looks rather interesting. |
Quote:
havent played overwatch yet - looks promising if they can put meaningful movement based objectives in and move away from the who-shoots-who-first tedium. |
Overwatch looks like an ungodly clusterfuck.
Doom MP mainly just looks like halo. The latest campaign trailer has restored some hope for me in the SP though. A few shots of decent sized monster groups, assuming they're not even showing you the best parts it's possible we could get that "run and gun through hordes of monsters" feel back. Just so long as the game is plagued by qte's, shitty story expo, dumb shit like escort missions. (lookin at you quake 4 level one) |

For what it's worth I spoke to an ex-TFC/TF2 player yesterday who's been playing the beta since November and he says he really enjoys it. I don't have or want xbox/playstation - I have nintendo for noob-stick action in the living room which is awesome for that! :D I'm really wanting something I like on PC for all the community/clanning that can only really come with that. |
I made a thread about Rocket League just before I saw this. Been playing RL fairly competitively for a couple months and always looking to connect with more players. PM me if you want to add my Steam. Maybe there could be a FF team.

Why do I have the feeling someone who plays FF or TFC works at blizzard and is secretly marketing Overwatch to us?
|
Still haven't seen much of it since it reminded me of TF2 whenever I had seen any screenshots. thanks pal for the video, will be watching it later on today.

That blizzard guy sounds like a good guy. Wasn't really interested in Overwatch, but now I'll keep an eye on it.
Just came across Lawbreakers.. the trailer looked fantastic |
Interesting video (Overwatch). I'm going to give it a go.
|
I am waiting for Overwatch. I believe we are going to see several TFC/FF players there ;)
|
Lawbreakers definitely looks like it has potential. More movement possibilities? May not be concs but looks pretty dope.
