Are there any games worth playing? - Page 2

I've been playin' this action-rpg for a while: http://www.dawnspire.com. It's a player vs player one too.

o_dancingfool · 10-02-2006, 08:37 PM

Yeah, Oblivion is kick ass and can run well on lower systems(also on 360) and Company of Heroes is a great game with very flexible graphics. I have everything on medium with my 256mb Geforce 6200 with 1 gig of RAM and it runs beautifully.

My only bitch about Oblivion is that all these game reviews said it would last at least 200 hours. Well 151 quests and 26 levels later, it only took me 90 hours. Not to mention I was playing it on the 360 and I got all 1,000 Gamerpoints.....

Circuitous · 10-02-2006, 08:54 PM

Only 151? Keep at it.

o_dancingfool · 10-02-2006, 08:56 PM

That's the one I remembered. Just checked and it was 154. Oh yeah. But how many do you have?

Post Script: I've found 183 locations.

On my current character, not sure. How many arcs have you completed?

Actually this was one of the things I absolutely loved about Daggerfall. Random quests. No limit to the quests you could do. You'd ask for a quest, they'd make one up at random and set the world up with what you needed to do it.

Good times... if only it didn't crash so often.

o_qwertyuiop · 10-02-2006, 09:05 PM

Age of Wonders
Mount and Blade

What is an arc?

Circuitous · 10-02-2006, 09:29 PM

A series of quests.

Main arc, Fighters' Guild arc, Thieves' Guild Arc, Mages' Guild Arc, Dark Brotherhood Arc, Arena Arc, etc.

o_dancingfool · 10-02-2006, 09:30 PM

I've completed all of them.

Circuitous · 10-02-2006, 09:35 PM

Nirnroots? Shadowbanish Wine? Oblivion Gates? Daedra Shrines? Wayshrines? Individual town quests? Just makin' sure. IT'S OKAY TO HAVE DONE EVERYTHING AVAILABLE.

I'd say grab some mods, but you're on the 360, so you're righteously boned until they start offering up user mods through XBL.

o_dancingfool · 10-02-2006, 10:38 PM

I shut a total of 14 Oblivion gates, found 4 Shadowbanish Wine, did the whole Nirnroot thing(rather useless potion), done a little over half of the Daedra shrines, a little under half of the wayshrines, and I checked a comprehensive online strategy guide for every side quest discovering that I had already done every one. I have Oblivion on PC but it keeps crashing. After trying tons of things(I means tons) I resigned myself to getting a 360 for Oblivion, Saint's Row, and BIA: Hell's Highway. Doesn't hurt that Assassin's Creed is coming out on 360 now either. Shame, cuz there are already some great mods and minimods for Oblivion.

Lost · 10-02-2006, 11:22 PM

Age of Wonders was a great game, another one I'd like to see redone.

o_frenchtoast · 10-02-2006, 11:25 PM

Well, I've settled on playing some Donkey Kong Country. God, that brings back memories.

Circuitous · 10-03-2006, 01:02 AM

Didja get SotN workin' yet?

o_frenchtoast · 10-03-2006, 01:27 AM

I haven't really tried, I've been sleeping a lot.

o_fjorn · 10-03-2006, 09:20 AM

some of these have been said, but they bear repeating:

the star wars kotor series
the elder scrolls series
prey is okay, if you can like, find it for $10 in a bargain bin
the freespace series is excellent (but old and obscure)
for all it's balance problems, star wars: empire at war is a good game
I really don't know how old this game is, as I've only recently been introduced to it, but F.E.A.R. is awesome

o_sobe green · 10-03-2006, 06:51 PM

Blood Rayne
Blood Rayne 2

Two is much better than one. Both are pretty fun and you can buy both on Steam now.

Circuitous · 10-03-2006, 11:14 PM

Played Fallout yet?

Loved the Fallout series though the original Black Isle installers and patches were buggy as can be. Arcanum is another to consider if you like that genre.

Circuitous · 10-03-2006, 11:25 PM

Arcanum is godly.

Also highly recommend Planescape: Torment.

(In other news, I've actually got a tabletop version of the Fallout game system. The whole thing. It's pretty sweet.)
