The World Thru My Eyes - I speak my mind and man does it like to talk.
Published on April 7, 2011 By CharlesCS In PC Gaming

I haven’t seen this question here for a while so I thought I would ask. I, myself, have been stuck on a couple of games I bought over 4 months ago after buying 2 flops in between. I’m hooked on Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 now that there are hardly any hackers in there, since Black Ops came out actually. Black Ops is one of the flops I got, dam thing has never worked properly on my rig thanks to my lack of quad-cores, even with a decent video card. I guess for now I have the incentive of reaching the highest level in Modern Warfare 2 to keep me entertained till I can get a better rig to play Black Ops. Wish I could give away my copy of Battlefield Bad Company 2, the second flop I bought. I just never got the taste for this game, single or multiplayer. I prefer McDonalds to Burger King, right?

The other game I’m kinda hooked on is Starcraft II. Pretty good game if you like strategy games. I am not that good and after watch many casts of this game from the best of the best all over the world, it’s hard to stay interested but I still keep coming back for more punishment.

So what’s new and hot on your PC these days?

Hehe, we have similar taste in gaming then. I played about 230 hours of MW2 last year and now i play Black Ops, just got the new map pack for it. Luckily hardware is not issue for me, as i have workstation on my disposal....i tried it install it on my older compy with core 2 duo 3GHz and it was really choppy...only god knows how they managed to screw it this way, while it looks the same as MW2.

As you could not play it, i suppose its pointless asking what do you prefer? I am bit on the fence here, bar the HW side of things i believe Blops is more balanced and overall better game, but MW2 was my "first" multiplayer shooter, so i am still fond of it despite it shortcomings...and i really liked M14 EBR, LOL. 

Regarding Battlefield, i played only the older ones (original and BF2), so cant really judge Bad Company, but i think i prefer CoD....its funny cause i snipe all the time, so BF should be more obvious choice for me, but i just do not like how people f*ck around with various vehicles, i prefer classic fighting with hand guns, therefore Blops for me.

Last thing, Starcraft... i was never a big fan of it, but i love RTSes indeed...now my buddy tries to convince me to buy it, so he can play it with me, but i just do not know... it costs 43 EUROs  over here and i am not sure, if it is worth the money. Not cause of the quality of the game, but as i know myself, i will end up playing CoD or PES 2011 95 percent of time anyway and in that case its money down the drain. I already made mistake, when i bought SupCom 2 and RUSE last year, played both combined maybe 30 hours or even less. And i prefer this new-gen grand scale strategies more than oldish SC, where you maneuver 10 units and call it an army.

Right now?  I am playing a ton of MP Dominions 3.  Some of these games might take all year to finish. 

I am also playing Sims Medieval.  Yea, yea, it's Sims, but it's kind of fun.  Wish it had more options and was more open-ended.  More Sim3 options, like aging.

Baldur's Gate II, which will be followed with getting the next pyramid built in Pharoah.

Leave it to Treyarch to follow World At War with what could have been the best COD and yet again screw it up for some of us.

Well, I was somewhat able to play it but it would eventually become annoying. I like the many game styles in Black Ops although it did have a bit of World At War mixed in with Modern Warfare 2 in it which I found a bit appealing, none the less I tend to like MW2 more. Not really sure why.

My first FPS was COD 2 followed by COD4 and COD WAW so I have actually owned all of the COD games including COD and COD United Front (I think thats what it was called) and COD 3 for the Wii although we could not get rid of it fast enough.

Regarding Battlefield, i played only the older ones (original and BF2), so cant really judge Bad Company, but i think i prefer CoD....its funny cause i snipe all the time, so BF should be more obvious choice for me, but i just do not like how people f*ck around with various vehicles, i prefer classic fighting with hand guns, therefore Blops for me.

I am a sniper 75% of the time but I like doing the running and gunning sometimes and using my heavy guns to defend in Domination. I drive people nuts when I do that, so much it takes the whole team to get rid of me from my spot.

I was gonna get RUSE but never got around to it. Now I see it was not that popular. Shame, looked good in the demo. Starcraft is not for everyone, not easy to play against people who got their strategies well ironed out but it can be fun sometimes.

Nothing wrong with the Sims. I have all of the Sims, Sims 2 and Sims 3 add-ons and still have back ups of my families plus plenty of added files I downloaded from the internet, furniture, vehicles, houses, etc. My wife likes the game as well. I have not installed them cause my 150 GB raptor drive is already full.

Just finished Lost Planet a little bit ago so I'm redownloading LP2.

Killing Floor

on Apr 07, 2011

I have been playing several games, including StarCraft, Homeworld, CnC, the BfME series, Battlefront 2, Empire at War and Forces of Corruption, and of course Sins.

I finally figured out how to dominate the AI as Terran, which is my main faction, though I am decent as Zerg and not very good as Protoss. Sadly, I suck at multiplayer.

Then their is Homeworld, one of my most favorite games of all time, still haven't beat the campaign.

I have the First Decade, but can hardly get into playing anything besides Generals and Zero.

I have with shame the Battle for Middle-earth Anthology, where I play a little bit of all three, BfME, BfME2, and RotWK, and some mods and maps for all of them.

I have several mods and maps for Battlefront 2, and primarily play Battlefront Extreme, because it is simply superior to the base game and in my opinion the way Battlefront 2 should have been in the first place.

I also have several mods and maps for EaW and FoC, but mainly play mods based on FoC like Phoenix Rising and my personal mod Galaxy Far, Far Away.

Last but certainly not least I play Sins, mainly Entrenchment and primarily as TEC, but Diplomacy is warming up on me and I will be updating to 1.2 later today.

I plan on getting StarCraft II among other things when I get a computer of my own that can handle it, though I am still irritated with the changes to the Zerg tech tree, the removal of the Medic from multiplayer, and the complete removal of the Lurker and Dark Archon.

Sins

 

Xia, is it worth the $50?  I'm a long time fan of the series and that looked interesting.

on Apr 07, 2011

These have been picked up from GamersGate or Impulse in the last 2-3 weeks.

Hearts of Iron 2, DoomsDay,Armageddon

Peter Jacksons King Kong, great fun.

Star Ruler

Total War: Shogun 2.  It's an amazing game.  The multiplayer shell is still quite buggy, but my tolerance for bugs is quite high after putting up with Elemental.
