Video games/gaming.

[keps]

I thought it might be nice to have a thread to talk about video games (like ones you buy on a disc ).

Could people state their platform when talking about games? I sometimes get excited about a game, then learn it's for a platform I don't have.

So, I have a PlayStation2. That's my only machine. Me and the bf "inherited" it from my bf's dad. Before getting this machine (and some games), I had never played before.

I bought a few games from ebay recently. One of them was God Of War 2.
I squealed when I saw the graphics for myself (I get really excited about stuff like this, lol). Haven't played much, but it's looking fantastic. Only played on easy setting too, as I'm not that great at gaming (I still enjoy the experience).
Anyone else got this game?

I love RPGs. The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is an amazing game.

I (my kids ) have a playstation 2 also. i don't play much but I tend to play the old stuff from when I was a kid. I'm boring sorry. We have taito legend and I love bubble bobble. Anyone remember Bubble Bobble??? From the 80s. My son plays Star Wars and Socom and some other shooting games.

Oh, by the way, K, Oblivion is presently available on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Lol, I was just about to look for it on YouTube when I saw this (no PS2 *sniff!*)

Todd, from the trailer, I couldn't really tell if there was a lot of environment to explore - is it mainly battles?
I do like killing beasts, but I also love having a lot of a "world" to move around in, and I like interacting with stuff too (like in the Tomb Raider games, if you're familiar with them).

Hmm, again this trailer didn't seem to show much except fighting. Nice-looking game, though.
I've got this thing about not playing stuff on my computer. I dunno why.


Addiesue, I don't know Bubble Bobble, but I've got Socom on a playable demo disc. Going to look at it tomorrow!

bubble bobble is one of my favorite games! i need to go dig it up.

Keps...... thats just the openning of the game.

I play online in a progressve story world, where it's quest based more than chop chop type.

The world is realy neat, with huge maps and you can solo or party to do stuff.

NWN2 though uses alot of power, so you need a good comp.

Sounds like Lord of the Rings or its ilk, is it?

[Le Todd]

Are you kidding me, K? There's a massive world to explore in Oblivion and there are at least 6 towns (each with their own style) in which you can buy property and and talk to the different people and explore their cultures.

It's a great game. I loved it. And they also just released an expansion pack for Oblivion in late March. It's worth getting the expansion also. I personally enjoyed the plot in the expansion pack much more so than Oblivion's original storyline.

Juke,

No, Oblivion isn't an online RPG like The Lord of the Rings RPG nor is the story similiar to the book by Tolkien.

The graphics won't be as pretty as PS2 games, but Chrono Trigger is a classic with lots of room to explore; there's a PS1 version available.

Chrono Cross is also a good title from the PS1.

Oh, I was only going on what that short trailer I posted showed. I've since seen a video that someone made showing themselves playing, and I can now see there is a lot more to the game. But those arms waving about at the bottom of the screen is a new thing for me.

@ Addiesue - so I tried the Socom demo today...ah, I wasn't immediately impressed.

@ Steven - aw, poorer graphics than ps2 would put me off, I reckon (ooh, get me!) We actually got a ps1 machine and some games from my bf's dad...but we sold them on ebay without investigating. Oops.
I see there's plenty of devotion on YouTube for the Chrono games...even people who've filmed themselves playing the music.

I have nwn2, but nwn1 was the shizzknit..... I'm into pvp (player vs player). I'm with le type and patonb about rpg's or mmorpgs. Anything like nwn, elder scroll, wow, might and magic on a pc i like. I'm a D&D quad nerd though.

How easy is it to play with quad hands? I've still not found a game that holds my interest since SCI
