yea, I've been playing it on pc while I have been horribly sick. It is greatness.

I love the v.a.t. system.. which is an improvement over the Oblivion fighting framework too, imo.

Yeah, VATS is pretty awesome. Watching heads explode in bullet time never fails to amuse me.

How far along are you? What kind of equipment, what skills, etc.?

oh,, not that far along.. I nuked that first camp though, and my home base is in tenpenny tower or whatever. I am evil enough to have those lawbringer or whatever guys seeking my out. . I think I'm like level 8 or something. Been in the hospital the last three days so I haven't played since then.

I like alot of the weapons, I like how they make you have to be versatile, because some weapon only work well on certain enemies, no matter how cool they are.

Yeah, you prolly shouldn't have nuked Megaton. Unless you're able to access the seedier towns (such as Evergreen Hills and Paradise Falls), there really aren't many places to stock up on supplies- I can think of maybe three big towns I've been to besides the Citadel, and Megaton is one of them. Nuking it off the map not only lost you a valuable trading spot, but also a whole heap of quests and potential XP. I hope the reward was worth it.

Heh, my character is pretty much the opposite of yours. I'm a total goody-goody, doing quests without asking for rewards and slaying evildoers left and right. Talon Company is chasing me all over the countryside (their contracts read that I'm a "white knight" do-gooder that needs to be cut down to size)... pretty soon I'm gonna find their home base and waste it. I mean, I've already taken out one nest of miscreants (Evergreen Hills... I killed the entire town except for the slaves, the smuggler, and the Super Duper Mutant in the cage) so I may as well eradicate another one.

I'm also level 16 with a suit of Enclave power armor and a heaping pile of weaponry- my standard weapons are a Chinese AR, combat shotgun, sniper rifle, and flamethrower. So yeah, pwnage on a stick.

combat shotgun is good, especially up close and personal with one of those pesky super mutants.

still only at level 9. ran into those fire ants.. got ambushed... didn't know they actually breathed fire.. haha.

Anyone here who is into Starcraft

I used to play it many years ago with my brother.. it was fun playing against each other.

We just got a new computer
What game(s) would you recommend? Give me your favourites!

Fallout 3 is great.

Crysis

Call of Duty 4 and the newer one

What are your computer specs?

Intel 2,33 GHz processor, 3,25 Gb RAM, Radeon HD 4850 graphic card (512Mb DDR3 RAM).

I've considered Fallout 3 and CoD. I loved the older CoD, so I guess the new one won't let me down

yea. you can play anything with that hardware, although if your processor is just a "single" processor.. instead of a dual processor or more... that could cause some problems.. but meh.. probably nothing major

Dang, I haven't played PC games in a while. I'd definitely recommend Fallout 3, though.

I just got Call of Duty 5 and Mirror's Edge not too long ago. Both are excellent, though Mirror's Edge can get pretty frustrating at times.

Dude, you get like every new game that comes out.. you must be making some serious Cashh.


I still want to get Grand Theft 4.. so I can be evil and raise hell.

We bought Spore yesterday...quite funny "little" game

Not really. I actually got those last two with some sorely belated birthday money.

I sold Mirror's Edge today, btw... it was just too annoying. When I sit down to play a game, I want to have fun, and for me that's being able to progress through the game at a reasonable clip without wanting to curse and throw the controller at the screen.

I used the money to get Gun, Painkiller, and Quake 4... mindless shoot-em-ups ftw! Well, I don't guess Gun is completely mindless, but you get my drift.

I think Fallout 3 would be classified as a drug when it comes to me, so I better just leave it be.

And anyway, Zombies aren't allowed to play games.

So it wouldn't matter anyhow.

lolzz//

I'm replaying some Crysis..

Beat CoD 5 last night and unlocked Nazi Zombies... now all I need to do is interest someone else in it enough to play it co-op.

picked up a invidia 9600 gt for the computer and one more gig of ram ( so I have 4 gigs now)... and played Crisis on mostly high settings for the first time... it is great...

I've become addicted to Assassins Creed...brilliant game and extremely good looking!

i'm going old school... been playing battlefield vietnam this week...

All the Battlefield games are fun, are you playing it online?

...and THAT is why the PC is no longer my gaming platform of choice. The amount of money and time you have to sink into keeping your rig up to speed (read- able to play current games, on reasonably high detail levels) is just ridiculous. When I buy a game for my 360 or Wii, I know that the system will play it. No installation, no costly hardware upgrades, no patching, no hassle. Just sit down, pop the game into the machine, and start playing. Sure, the graphics aren't quite as sharp as a high-end PC, and the controls aren't as precise for certain games (mouse and keyboard will ALWAYS be the best possible FPS control scheme). But in the end, the complete lack of hardware-related headaches and the extra bucks in my pocket are well worth it.

Also, got Left 4 Dead for Christmas. It's pretty good so far, I'm really looking forward to trying co-op play.

Have you played The Mirror's Edge?

Looks cool to me..
