edonil Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Eh. True. I usually play with pirates off because of that. Although, with Rebellion now, and understanding the game's economy, I've been able to have little problem with that. Usually about the first hour in, I'm kicking in the door on the pirates base anyway, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I left them on for the experience. But it did make it a lot harder at the start to get going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yeah. Still, not a whole lot of tactical depth to it, but the strategy aspect is a lot of fun. Good to play casually when you don't want to pay a ton of attention to things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Once I've finished KA2 I think I'll give that new Deus Ex a go. Which in turn will probably make we want to re-watch the Ghost in the Shell series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 My brother's snagging the new Transformers game this weekend, I think I'll give that a shot. Just brainless enough for me to get into in between class work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerBob Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm the opposite, single player only. I was starting to think I was the only one left! Single player all the way. I reckon the only thing worse than a previously good singleplayer series with a tacked on multiplayer is a previously good singleplayer series with a cooperative mode tacked onto the main campaign (I'm looking at you Resident Evil and Dead Space). The new Transformers game, that has Grimlock in it, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Tell me about it. Even ME3 where they said the multiplayer would have no impact on singleplayer was a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerBob Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I was lucky in that regard. One of my mates was obsessed with the Me3 multiplayer so I just joined a few of his games to get the relevant experience. That way I could also ask him mid game "what does this thing do? Where should I go? What's that?". I find a lot of these multiplayer games have a lot of assumed knowledge these days. What happened to the good old days of "grab rocket launcher, find quad damage, gib everything that moves"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I think that was the last time I did any multiplayer. Quake 2 on the office LAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Morning all, how goes it? I'm having a peaceful day at work, some easy stuff I know how to do and no one around to get in the way. Also, I have a cookie. Not the healthiest breakfast, but no matter! Best part is, it all has lotto f gaps where I can't do anything, so I get to sit around and relax most the day...

RangerBob Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I think that was the last time I did any multiplayer. Quake 2 on the office LAN. Nice. I remember about 13 years ago, my parents went on holiday for 2 weeks leaving me and my brother in the house. Mere hours after they had gone, half a dozen mates had set up their pcs in the kitchen and for a fortnight we did nothing but Quake, AvP and Half Life deathmatches. Dont think we saw daylight for the whole of it. Those were the days. What's the point in multiplayer gaming if you can't gloat right in someone's face?

Mister Monkey Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I played a pretty awesome game the other day, you may of heard of it 'Space Invaders' then I rocked into some 'Yars Revenge', 'Mario Bros', and 'Jungle Hunt' .... That Atari 2600 is like a beast of a gaming machine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 About to go home...finally. Not sure if I am going to play tomorrow or just put stuff together. Feeling kinda blah lately. Now that my back's not giving me problems anymore I think I need to start back at the gym after the con, maybe even force myself to play and work on modeling once each per week.

Mako Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Sounds good about the home thing, not so good about the blah. The gym sounds like a plan though, I really should go find out what the university gym is like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 See, bits of that look good, and then bits look meh. I don't mean the models exactly, but I can't pin it down. I think I'm bored of orks and goblins, they're just everywhere... Ref bot is pretty amusing though, and the human team are quite decent. Oh, and can you pop over to Australia and tell them to redo their kangaroos, they're a nightmare to sculpt the heads of with the way they have them at the moment!

Mister Monkey Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Yeah, I really have little interest in this game but thought I would share (I barely play the Blood Bowl I already have four teams for) But that ref bot is a star. Sweet as on the Kangaroo front what do you want me to do to them?(Should of done death kiwis they are just beaks and bums) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 If you could squash their faces up so thy didn't have such a long muzzle, that would be handy. A good swing with a frying pan should do it I reckon. Kiwis are bizarre litte buggers, they did seem to get assembled from the spares bin at the end! Might venture forth tomorrow in search of some stuff to cast my brilliance markers with. Until I can find good kit, I'm not risking casting GJ. And I don't have my paints so there's no rush!

Mister Monkey Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Mako and I are discussing altering Australia's entire population of Kangaroos to make his sculpting easier.... so pretty much usual .... How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'm okay, lol. Got in a few games of 'Clix and lost all of them. The problem with just starting up a game, getting pieces with synergy, lol. And realizing that, just because you've got Batman and Bane, doesn't mean you shouldn't be playing guerrilla war when you can. Right now, waking up. Went to bed really early, cause I was exhausted, and now I'm up ridiculously early, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Glad to hear clix is going well, are you enjoying it? Nothing wrong with getting up early, get most of my things done before most people get up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
