General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

Morrowind does not scale to your level. I actually prefer it that way along with most of the people at Codex. Man, it hurts my brain to see someone say Oblivion is better than Morrowind. Honestly. :seriouslyno:


I guess it would have been better if you played it when it first came out.

I agree. Also, apart of what makes it great for me is the nostalgia.

Well what can I say, after seeing an engine that beautiful, with full voice acting and all the other amazing things Oblivion offers, it's pretty hard to go back. Because Morrowind's similar enough that I just kept thinking "____ feature was better in Oblivion"

It makes sense though, I've heard people say the same about Fallout 2 when they played it before the first one. :shrug: different strokes. I'll keep myself happy either way, so no loss here 8-)

Are you referring to level scale system, or it is just a rhetoric phrase?
Even Morrowind is level scaled. Level of monsters spawned at spawnpoints is calculated depending on PC's level; the same goes for a randomly placed stuff in containers. Low level character, low level loot. That sucks.

I hate this in games! Although, I think it's less noticeable in morrowind.

Just nothing in Morrowind ever jumped out and saiud HEY THIS IS AWESOME RIGHT? YOU SHOULD PLAY ME! like every other great game does. :shrug:

That's actually one of the reasons I prefer Morrowind. That low fantasy opening with no fanfair makes for a much more nuanced feel at the beginning. You get the whole saving the world later and the expansion packs provide a more standard fantasy fare, though with interesting twists.
It is a hard game to get into though, took me a year of playing it on and off before I started to really enjoy it. Though that might have been replacing my computer so the loading didn't take 15 minutes. :V
 
Sins of A Solar Empire: Rebellion.

I played the first SOASE when it came out. I'm not huge on RTSs but this is a great game for someone like me. Lots of options to scale it to whatever pace you want. I play on "pothead" speed. You can scale it even slower to "you'll die before this game ends" speed. Or if you're hardcore, there are options to make it super fast like Starcraft/AOE.

As for what has changed since the first game; It seems like a lot, but I havn't gotten through much of the new content. Starbases can be built out in non colonizable systems, and you can customize them to fill different roles. Also, Titan ships which are fucking huge and can urinate on multiple Capital Ships. Which brings me to my favorite new feature: Flagship Victory. You start with a souped up Capital Flagship; If you lose it, you lose the game.

And what would any game I play be without Mods? There is a respectable amount of Mods out there to extend playing time. Graphics overhauls/ gameplay tweaks/ new races/ and a few TCs covering other IPs like Star Wars. I'll tell ya one thing, space geeks like to mod their space games.
 
It was the last line of some post someone made at the official Sins of a Solar Empire forums.

The discussion was about how many of today's games only use one core of their dual/quad core CPUs.

Heh, nice. From what I hear, coding a multi threaded program is a pretty huge undertaking.
 
So, I bought Saint's Row 3 for 25 dollars. I also saw Diablo III for 20, both original, but MW3 was still full price, good thing I don't like it.

Anyway here is my Character:

It'sa me. I think Fighting with Gamebryo's character personalization thing while making so many NV characters gave me the ability to use any other personalization system flawlessly.

The game is a lot of fun, I haven't progressed on the story much, but I spent 30 minutes causing destruction while my character spouts cheesy one liners, and for 25 dollars that is enough for me.
 
Playing Beneath a Steel Sky. I'm enjoying it quite a bit, but the voice acting is kinda distracting.

Isn't that a free game on GOG?

It's freeware, yes, although I'm not sure about GOG.
 
Never got into Torchlight. It's just a rip-off of existing games (Diablo, Fate) with a worse UI.

Why 1000 hours?

How many times did you have to play it to see all the branching stuff and all the different ways to solve side quests and interact with people?

I think more than 400 hours is overkill, unless you do it just because or role play or who knows what ... (staking books on shelves for hours and decorating your house comes to mind - that i remember people playing oblivion doing)
