I think I need to startup a game of Pirates! too. I need some ocean sounds right now in my life.
yeah I beat this game with the same mod recently. It was a lot more involved story wise than I thought.Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl with Stalker Complete mod. I had the game on steam for 2 years but didn't play it since I was doing all the Half Life games. With the mod its pretty cool. It's a much more imaginative and immersive game than I thought it would be.
You will laugh at me but to be honest ()I still play that old NFS Porsche in evolution mode. And I am eagerly waiting for the launch of WRC 2010. Please provide any updates on it.
Started another game of Test Drive Unlimited. Again, nothing new. All played out. They came out with an expansion pack but it was just more cars, most of which sucked ass except for the Lamborghini Countach and the Mercedes Benz GTR.
They should have had twice as many missions in the race, speed, and time games.
The model and hitch-hiker missions sucked ass and I dunno why they even had them. Fucking annoying.
TDU 2 is coming out one day, will look forward to it.
I am currently playing Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War Chaos Rising. (Already beat single player campaigns for the original and expansion) The skirmish is a riot. Haven't tried multiplayer yet, because this is a friend's copy, hence I cant go online. I am planning to buy my own copy any day now, so I can start playing against people online.
IMO, Dawn of War is one of the very best RTS of all time. Whether DOWII is as good as the 1st one is arguable, but it is still an awesome game, and I think it may be just as good, albeit in it's own way. I am still struggling with myself on this... Never mind, it's single player is probably worse.. Definitely worse. But multiplayer is kickass, and singleplayer is still worth anyone's time.
The reason why I think DOW is so damn good is because Relic did a truly awesome job at conveying the sheer violence, brutality and chaos of war. Every time I play this fucking game I get so worked up, I feel like screaming DIE DIE DIE!!! FUCKING DIE! ARRRGGHHH!!!! All I hear in my head is the sound of the heavy bolter tearing the enemy apart.... If you seen that "Angry German Kid" video on utube, that's pretty much how I feel on the inside. When I exit the game and walk away I feel like punching the wall or something.. It's really hard to control emotions....
I know how all this sounds, but I am a very nonviolent person in RL, and I would never hurt anyone. I am just talking about how the game makes me feel. ; )
Anyway.. did I already mention Dawn of War is absolutely amazing? The original DOW had an absolutely EPIC singleplayer campaign... The music, the voiceovers.. The quotes... I still cant forget it all now. Desperation.. Story.. Thrill of victory..
I use the quote "Blessed is the mind too small for doubt" on many forums as my sig. There is so much hidden meaning in these words... It can be interpreted by many people in different ways.. You can see a lot in it, or you may see nothing at all.
In DOW and CoH, one Tank can decide the game under right circumstances. There is a concept of flanking units from back where the armor is weaker.... There is morale.... Show me how many other RTS have that!! This is actually how it should be, but you'll be surprised how many lame RTS out there miss this concept. 10 marines killing a Battlecruiser in Starcraft?!!!! A hoard of assault rifle infantry defeating tanks in Command and Conquer? Forget it.... They all WISH they were Dawn of War. C&C trying to copy Raptors with Tiberium troopers... Srarcraft 2 doing the same for the Terran units.... But who was the FIRST to introduce melee jumppack infantry in RTS? Dawn of War off course! (Ok fine Tiberian Sun had this first, but there it was poorly executed, and didn't work even remotely in the same way)
There is no lame resource collecting with drones, workers, harvesters, peasants or SCVs in DOW. No "turtling in" and hoping for a counter attack when the enemy drains his resources... You sit idle and wait? You lose. End of story. It's all about capping victory points which encourages charging into the action, and going out there to get what's yours and win.
I feel that Warhammer Dawn of War deserves a place in the hall of fame of greatest games of all time.
@JeffNY
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying because you CAN play many diffferent races. You got Eldar, Orks, Tyrranids, Space Marines, and now Chaos as well.
The chaos faction makes an already good game even better. Relic did a good job with them. Check it out when you get a chance.
