Games

Whats everyone playing at the moment? Kinda curious myself. I just canceled my CoH account because I lost interest, its a fun game, but just didn't hold me. I just don't have time for post 60 WoW.

So a few questions, since I own EQ2, did it ever get any better? I quit after like 4 months after the old Triad people all quit. I heard they did a combat revamp, but haven't come back to see it.

I am currently messing around with Oblivion, but my old computer just can't hold the graphics, so I might hold off getting into that game until I build my Conroe machine with SLI.


Any suggestions for the casual gamer? I got about and hour or two a night to play, 3-4 days a week. I still like MMO's, and the last single player game that really grabbed me was DOOM3.

And yes, I am waiting for Vanguard. That looks cool

BF2 and Halo2 were games I played that didn't really require a certain time to "raid" and can be put down pretty easily.

I stopped playing COH, only because I got back into arting and writing again. I still have eq and eq2 installed but both aren't fun unless you have friends to play with and since I'm -4hrs behind est, it makes it hard.

Just waiting for the Veb to come home so I can play with him instead. O_o

EQ2 has all the sudden turned into EQ1 in alot of aspects ive been told (For the better or for the worse) either way you look at it.

Seems as if they have realized what a mistake EQ2 was and have been spending more time on EQ1 and just implementing the EQ1 ideas into EQ2 and vice versa (From a graphic standpoint in EQ1 which has gotten a bit better sorta) They continue to put the ideas of one of these two games into the other. Seems like they wanna phase EQ2 out and just continue building on EQ1 which already has 2 planned expansions inc soon. Alot of the Devs from the EQ2 team have came over and have been helping work (rework) EQ1 and its system and adding new things...Thats the reason I believe they maybe fixing to phase out EQ2.

You are waiting on a game that is, supposedly, going to have more timesinks than the original EQ?

From everything ive read and heard (recently)....Vanguard is gonna flop hardcore.

You do know that the same people who run EQ atm are gonna be a huge part of Vanguard also right?

There arent really any good games coming out in the future and people are running out of ideas.....I think what you see out now is about as good as it gets from an online RPG aspect (WoW/EQ2/EQ1 etc etc etc) among a handful of other games.

How is CoL treating you btw?

They've treated me pretty well I suppose. I haven't been the happiest lately, but it's a personal issue with a few people, not the guild. Get at me sometime on AIM - name is yankormewankor or xushetru, depending on what you want showing up on your AIM when other people look!

Playing WoW at the moment. I dont like the time it takes from my life but the hubby likes it, so we play.

I enjoyed CoV and DDO but neither held his attention or interest. The kid plays my DDO account now. :(

Do not attempt to use logic on me sir! That is rude and will not work.

Warcraft 3 Dota map is fun, one game is usually 40mins to an hour.
