General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

I really don't know how people can say Fallout 3 is the better game. I still think it has a lot to do with people expecting a different engine for a full-cost game.
On the bright side, people will bitch about that stuff then buy it like hotcakes. New Vegas sales were on par with F3 last I looked and even though people bitch about CoD being a rehash each time, they just keep buying them.

Tangent aside: If you loved Fallout 1 and/or 2, be prepared to nerdgasm a few times.

Yes. Then prepare yourself again, because Gamebryo will rape your eyes very hard. :look:
 
Bought Dawn of War Platinum edition. I enjoy it so far, I like control point system better than the Starcraft/AoE system and I've always thought the Warhammer 40k lore was cool.

I always found Relic-style RTSs better than Starcraft et all. There's tension in hanging with your very last points while desperately waiting for your opponent's to drop, much more exciting than wailing huge armies against each other and rebuilding them at a moment's notice, rinse and repeat until one player soundly beats the other or the map is void of resources. I strongly recommend playing Company of Heroes if you like Dawn of War, it's much more refined and still has an online community. Dawn of War 2 is different however, albeit still good by me. It's a shame Relic mostly fails at balancing, even if CoH and DOW2 are better at this than subsequent titles.
 
PSP 3000?

I remember back in early '09 a lot of people from my school were hacking PSPs, so I'm supposing it's real. But those were pretty old models. I remember a classmate said it's impossible to hack the new ones.

If this is in fact new, and they haven't made up a new jailbreak or something, I'm supposing nope.
 
Seems you can, it's only a matter of time before any electronic gadget is but I think it may come under the "don't talk about hacking rule" of this forum.
 
Playing NEStalgia.

I've just started, and I can't say much of it, but it seems pretty decent, and it is completely free.
Great graphics and music, all 8-bit.

Mama, I'm home.
 
Early 09? I thought PSP homebrewing ended when they released firmware 2.0 in 2005, which was hard to pass up because it came with an internet browser. I remember playing doom in school on my psp, fun times. Then I upgraded to watch porn in the library and the web browser was so painfully slow it took ten minutes to load anything. Downgrading wasn't an option at the time and there were barely any games (and how often can one possibly watch spiderman 2?) so I sold it. I still miss liberty city stories from time to time though, and metal gear acid was pretty nifty like a boardgameish adventure.
 
Got a friend with a PSP but he has hardly any PSP games on it, only about 100, just a ton of N64, Arcade, Dreamcast and indie games.
 
I had a PSP but I only had like, ten games on it because there was nothing I really wanted and there are barely any PSP games worth playing.

Patapon was pretty great though.
 
There was one game on the psp that looked pretty neat:

I'm getting my noob ass kicked very hard in MoO2, guys. :mrgreen:
Still agreed, there is an awesome music and some eye candy graphics.
 
You can get it cheaply on www.gog.com and be playing it in minutes if you like.

God, I am such a GoG fanboy.

Love their services.

If you're having trouble make sure you pick the creative trait. From there you can appease other races with free technology, just don't give them stuff that is too good. With that you can hope to keep them from attacking while building up a fleet.

If you want to build a decent fleet early in the game try destroyers or cruisers with only nuclear missiles with x2 or x5 ammo and no targeting computers or shields. This will let you slug out some good damage early in the game but you will lose a fair amount of ships. this can be especially useful against monsters as they only have a few weapons, 10-15 small attack ships can work.

I feel the same way, and I'll definitely check out CoH and DoW2 at some point you aren't the only one to praise those games to me
