Is there actually anything left to play?

[Bym]

Actually, just found Sonic and Mario on the GBA quite appealing.....

Nah FPS games are becoming very staid and clichéd now tbh, Doom 3 I think will be one of my last, unless the genre undergoes severe change. And Doom 3 only gets a look in because of the Resident Evil undertones throughout.

Gaming getting more competetive could be a reason as to why there are a lot of whingy bastards out there, and why there are so many willing to cheat in every little way (configs, external progs etc.). I think we are getting lots more whingy bastards partly because everyone knows the games we play so well, everyone knows every last bit about every map and every place on that map. Everyone knows the limits of the game engines, when games reach that stage its usually time to put them down, its the point where games become much less fun.

Thats pretty much my line of thinking.

And yes the qw/q2 was the golden age of online gamming. Maybe if the doom 3 engine is any good and quake 4 happens to return us to the q2 way of life then things might pick up.

My brother was telling me the other day that most of the q2 community are holding onto quake 2 in the hope of shifting to either doom 3 or quake 4.

If it does hold up that way ill hold up my best to get the old clan up and running again

Ohh and fov 110 in 640 res.

Quake owned me - to a much greater extent than any other game has or prolly will.

/me starts drivelling on about the fragtown series of maps over a null modem cable

.............. i use w,s,a,d to move.....

[Scouse]

return us to the q2 way of life

I thought the point was moving on and forward - not being held back.

The q2 way of life was a very happy one for me and many others.

We ain't talking holding back the game styles or anything, just getting the old community spirit back the way it once was.

If you have only been into online gamming for the last couple of years or less you wouldn't know how great it used to be.

The Q2 way of life, as you put it , was indeed excellent for a long time. But you cant keep going on about it. A lot of our clan, well the American part anyway, still refuse to acknowledge anything but Q2. But, they play less and less. Why ? Because they are bored, but they cant even see it themselves. Same with a lot of people over here I bet.
Were I to reload Q2 , (I nearly did the other day too, but couldnt be arsed with XP giving me jip) and go on , say, GI Darkhour, I bet ol' whats his name will still be there, I bet hes still moaning about LPB's rolleyes: ) blah blah.
There are other communities in games , but you'll never know if you dont play the games. I been playing CS for about a year now, and theres just as good, and just as annoying sometimes, a community here as there was in Q2.
Oh, and Q3 is a good game too, particularly ctf. No spam, just frags. Give it a try, and not just for ten minutes !!

 

[Nighty-]

Wheeeeeee.
I've really been enjoying RTCW. It's excellent! Especially that new tram map thingy
Best sense of 'team' in a game I've felt so far.

Reinstalled Q2 and have been giving RA2 a knock around too. Oh, and Operation Flashpoint is brill

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I also installed Q2 a few days ago. I got AQ, and have spent the past 2 days having much fun

I think i spent more time gaming in the past 2 days, than i did all last month



Q3 Is indeed the daddy, but none of the mods really appeal to me, besides Q3F. When Q3F Beta2 came out, i virtually stopped playing games, because the only thing i'd played for the past 2 months had been mauled into a bloated peace of shit I don't play Q3 DM/CTF because it's too fast paced. I don't mind Threewave though

 

[Nighty-]

I downloaded AQ2! Pity that there's 6000 custom maps!

 

[throdgrain]

Me I love the speed of Q3, after an hour or 2 of cs its nice to just go completely mental

 

[Wij]

Can't be arsed with FPS til UT2003.

And you're all gay.

grrr.

 

[JohnyWishbone]

hmmm, I'm still addicted to CS, I love it, but it's a cruel mistress. I find I only play on our clan server now though, despise the pubbys soo much. Full of whining, cursing, cheating scumbags.

But I find the people in my clan are a great bunch of geezers, diamond in fact. Apart from some utter twat called Willier , we chat about most things, in game as well. I suppose that may be due to us all being of a similar age (old).

Heh, most of us are nice, thats a bit gay Johnny.

Actually your right, their all a nice bunch of old gits.

I await ut2003 ala wij

 

[JohnyWishbone]

There you go m8, that reads a bit better doesnt it

 

[Summo]

Sorted.

 

[Will]

One day, I will have all of you come play Operation Flashpoint. Or at least get you to stop moaning about CS. You all love it really, even Skyler.

 

[Wij]

I don't

 

[Munkey-]

its a good game but the engine just doesnt feel "right"

 

[Custy]

UT2003 will be the next big thing.

Tribes 2 is an excellent game, never get bored of it. there are so many roles you can fill so if you get bored of one role you can move onto the next. Alot of people will mock T2 without even playing it just because of the bad press it got when it first came out in a somewhat buggy state but all that is fixed now and the developers have been sacked so it is sweet .

Doom3 will be another one of these overhyped FPS which uses good graphics to blind people from it's weak story and unoriginal gamestyle. (RTCW comes to mind) ... (Infact 95% of these AAA FPS games are utter shit after the first 2-3 hours)

Deus Ex 2 will be the fucking daddah if the first one is anything to go by.

NWN will prolly be good.

Also I think we get starwars Galaxies at the end of this year.

Asherons call 2 is out this year innit? (will only subscribe to 1 mmo game at a time so i have got some choosing to do).


Oh and CS became shit ages ago. Not played CS for 6 months now and not for a year properly. Might delete my HL folder since it is taking up good HDD space.

 

[Custy]

If you want something now, get Morrowind. A fantastic game, played at a friends house the other day and i hope to buy it tomorrow.
