i can't remember all of them, but the atmosphere was not right,  the missions were less fun,  there were less random missions (like remote helicopter), the setting was off....

 

not sure really.    the GTA III games (well, the original was ok,  but the 2 - vice city and san andreas)  were so much fun!    after 10 hours in GTA IV, i did not feel much fun.

 

 

original Mafia game was amazing too (another game similar to gta)     mafia II was crap though...

different gameplay.. well not crap, it was still ok, but after setting your expectation by the game you love.. it was not as fun.

 

Just watched a few vids etc for sleeping dogs, and from tomorrow I think I will be playing it lol! Its still ?20 on steam though but it does look good.

 

I will maybe play GTA IV for a while to see what I think before buying anything. :) im too impatient to wait for GTA V, I just want something "like it" that I haven't played before haha

Currently playing Final Fantasy X on my trusty old PS2, trying to do all the things I didn't do when I played through as a kid. Just finished getting all of the Al Bhed Primers about 10 minutes ago, :D

So many new experiences on this play-through that I didn't get last time. Baaj temple, the al bhed primers, it's almost like playing it again for the first time because last time I played was 10 or more years ago and I just burned through, killed Sin and called it quits.

Smash Bros. Wii U

 

It takes quite a bit of getting used to playing with the gamepad but slowly and surely I'm getting better with it. Would definitely rather have the GameCube adapter so may have to buy one down the road.

 

Game is fantasitc though :wub: Can't decide who to main but Toon Link and Diddy are favourites.

Grid Autosport

Enslaved (chasing steam achievements)

Walking Dead Season 1

Typing of the Dead Overkill (gotta keep those wpm over 90)

Lately all I've been playing is Chaos Reborn. It's quite addicting. Not recommended for people who dislike random chance or chess. It's skill-based but bad luck can completely ruin you even against the worst players. It's pretty well all about risk assessment. Still though, I'm addicted lol.

Picked up Call of Duty 4 recently on PC again, been a long time since I played it and the PC community is still fairly active. Great fun.

 

Also playing:

 

Mario Kart 8

Crypt of the Necrodancer

Assetto Corsa

Slowly playing through Halo The Master Chief Collection doing split screen co-op at weekends with a mate.

 

I must admit the re-mastered Halo 1 and 2 look stunning. However we had both forgot how boring and tedious a lot of the Halo and Halo 2 campaign is. In Halo 1 theirs so much copy and pasting in the level design. I remember now why I only originally owned the first two games for the multiplayer.

 

I am looking forward to getting some 4 player co-op on Halo 3 and 4 going though, i loved the campaign on both those games.

I'm going through Kingdom Hearts  1.5 + 2.5 Remix in order.

Currently just started Kindgom Hearts 2.5. Also trying to get close to 100% on each. It has been years since i played any of these. So it is like a new game to me.

 

On PC i'm currently This War of Mine. Brilliant game and such a bleak tone. It even makes me feel depressed playing it :laugh:

A game has never really done that to me. Especially the many survival games out there.

Started attempting to get though my list of shame (Steam) as of late.

 

Playing:

Final Fantasy IV (Steam)

Final Fantasy VII (Steam) - Just gearing up to beat Ruby & Emerald.

Final Fantasy VIII (Steam)

Final Fantasy XIII (Steam)

Final Fantasy X (PlayStation 2) - Remaster arrived today for the PS3 but mine needs to be replaced or BGA re-balled now (Bloody Crysis 3!).

Crysis Warhead (Steam)

Crysis 3 (PS3) - Until freeze of death (Curses to RoHS!)

NFS Hot Pursuit (Steam)

 

Completed recently:

Crysis 2 (Steam)

Crysis (Steam)

NFS Most Wanted (PS3)

Metal Gear Solid 2: Subsistence (PlayStation 2) (PlayStation 20th thing)

Metal Gear Solid (PlayStation) (PlayStation 20th thing)

Finally getting around to completing some 360 games I've had lying around. 

 

Played through Dead Island a few days ago and really liked it, and massively late to the party but getting through The Walking Dead series. Loving it so far (playing through Episode 4). Can't wait to get through Season 2 too!

Elite Dangerous.. still 

I love these system invites where you're supposed to receive an important communique when you get there, except the invite doesn't show up in your quest log and you can go there but don't get contacted at all.

 

I'm on Elite: Dangerous and Warframe myself.  Mostly.  And some Mass Effect 3 MP, which seems to be surprisingly still going strong.

  • Fable 3 (PC)
  • Sonic 3 & Knuckles (SEGA Mega Drive)
  • Alex Kidd in Miracle World (SEGA Power base Converter + SEGA Mega Drive)
  • Cut The Rope 2 (Android)
  • Shadow Warrior Classic Redux (PC)
  • NFS Most Wanted (PC)

    • I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html
    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
