What Other PC Games Does Everyone Play?

It's kind of an action RPG. If you've played Knights of the Old Republic, it has some of that feel except better graphics, and instead of it trying to emulate a D20 to attack, you shoot things. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I absolutely enjoyed it. It got a bit repetitive here and there, but there was just so much to see and do. If you play on the XBox 360, it's a like a minimum 3 time play through to get all of the achievements. I think I've played the game 5 times through now. Different classes allow you to do different things. There is just something so fun about running into a room wearing heavy armor, throwing grenades, shooting down your foes, and giving some close up rifle butts to those that get too close ... and not even losing shields the entire time. Takes some practice to do that, but man is it fun!

I put the game on the highest difficulty one time and did a mission ... took me 25 minutes to get through a room. I'd have to pop up out of cover to get off some shots and then take cover to avoid getting pulverized. :p
 
25 minutes to get through a room!? Sounds like my kind of game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> . I know a few friends who have it - I'll have to try it out at their places. My computer's too old to run it, and I don't have any consoles <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> .
 
I play Pirates of the caribbean,Halo,Gta, and assasins creed. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Indeed Willaim, love the game. I'm really looking forward the the add-on that keeps being promised as well as the eventual player added content I'm sure will come out.

Cap'n Drow
 
I bought Mass Effect for the Xbox360 went it came out. The first downloadable content for that was actually quite impressive, even if it was mainly one world with an extra mission. However, when replaying it as higher levels, you got the ability of getting some decent equipment.

Being renegade on it is just too much fun. I absolutely love the responses.
 
i'm going to try Wings of Honour: Battles of the Red Baron again soon. it might work now i have more RAM. pretty unrealistic game, but good graphics, low requirements, and MAN is that game fun! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> you can go completely crazy with it. it's great fun to have a massive air battle on medium difficulty, since you're about as good as the enemy, and everyone is doing loads of fancy maneuvers and god-knows-what.
 
Just be sure you don't smash into the PA! mainsite with whatever you are doing in that game. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
well, i almost hit a church a few times. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> looking back on some things, you just can't stop laughing. i went all jets n guns once. i had to rescue a spy from out of enemy territory, but he was being chased by the germans. let me put it this way:

[regular day in the german camp]

*soldiers run past*

*plane flies past* <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

seeing those guys run from me in front of the prop was just PRICELESS! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" />:
 
Sounds like fun. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Haven't played Halo in ages - still can't believe how funny and good that game is <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> .
 
Wings of Honour: Battles of the Red Baron? ..Morgan. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/8q.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":8q" border="0" alt="8q.gif" /> It's a game what has been released this year! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> Now how much ram did you stuff into your wreck? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/8q.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":8q" border="0" alt="8q.gif" />
 
256 MB. it really doesn't need anything for minimum performance, but you can immensely improve the game with better specs. there's four graphical quality levels, you can determine the quality of the water seperately, and turn off trees. and believe me, there's a LOT of those. the environments are enormous. the game can literally run on any rig since 2001, but it looks awesome on maximum graphics. i tried it out at a friend's house. in one of the missions you get to command a zeppelin. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Okay. Going to open the exe of that game on my rig. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
the game isn't that much fun at first though. also, the german campaign is easier. that's the one where you get to command the zeppelin too. but in the english one, there's a mission where you get to use an AA-gun, which makes an awesome distinctive sound. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> that level itself is amazingly realistic too. you're defending the base against german bombers, zeppelins and fighters. your vision gets blocked by pillars of black smoke, the sun, plane wreckage coming down, things like that. it's awesome, but very hard. oh: don't wreck a zeppelin when it's straight overhead. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> that doesn't end very well. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Okay, diving in the crazyness. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
i want some reports and/or screenshots if possible! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Like crazy close encounter with a bomber? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> Almost killed myself there. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" />
Ok.. just made a picture of me making a close encounter with a bomber. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

wtf? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> care telling me who of you two is upside down? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> i had something like that happen to me once. i was going from vertical position upwards to horizontal, and suddenly this friggin' triplane zooms past, upside down, his top wing five inches from mine! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

allright, you damn old crate, straighten out!

...

WOAM!

JEZUS! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/8q.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":8q" border="0" alt="8q.gif" />

another kinda awesome one was when i made a looping low above the ground, made a 90 degree turn at the same time, pulled up, and then nearly crashed into the church tower! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

whew, missed the gr--HOLY CRAAAAP! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

oh: here's another tip. when you have that little screen activated that shows your bomb falling down, DON'T focus on that one. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

It's hard to tell but I was going up when that bomber appeared. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Again hard to tell who is upside down. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

i think the both of you are going up, actually. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> told you it was crazy. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> something else that was kinda funny was at the first german mission. two bombers where coming our way, so we had to get off the ground in a hurry, yanked the control stick way back, and went straight up that very second. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> i love those 'HOLY CRAP' moments in that game. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" />

in case you didn't know yet, Starscape has been released on reflexive! seems like some space shooter-RPG. this is going to be good.
