First let's talk about descriptions to the games we like.  Who wants to go first

[Spyder]

Sometimes it's best that the topic starter go first, so he can show people exactly what he's talking about. Wink

Ghost Recon: Squad-based tactical FPS. There is a variety of maps that mostly look like something from the mid-western US. Expansions add Jungle and Island maps.

Gran Turismo 4: Racing simulator. Over 700 cars, 100+ tracks, and tons of customization options. The most realistic physics engine for a racing game to date.

Morrowind: D&D-style RPG with lots of races and classes to choose from, including the ability to create your own custom classes. An incredibly detailed 'to-scale' world that lets you walk from town to town along roads, or through forests or mountains, and the towns are set in the world, not like most RPG's where they're icons on a map which teleport you to the town.

I definately want to get Morrowind now!  Here's my description....

Sacred:  Crazy Diablo 2 on steroids style game.  The game world is HUGE and is constantly being build upon.  There is an entire expansion pack (138meg download) for the game to build upon it.  MMORPG.  Originated in Germany 2 years ago.  I have recently discovered a tiny faction of people who have broken the german source code and can now modify the game.  (I happend to join them, yay!)  Sacred has open and closed servers, along with a LAN party option.  The graphics are beautiful.  The game contains around 300 side quests, not to mention custom taylored mossions depending on what you choose within the game.  If you decide to kill the person you are attempting to rescue as a side quest, the people in town will dislike you, and the merchants in the area will sell less and will raise prices.  The game is immense.  I have played for 5 months, and I have only discovered 40% of the world map.  There are 8 known dragons, and a few other super creatures.  Yea, I play too much.

ok, that's about it.  if i keep going on bout that game, i will go crazy.

Call of Duty: The best WW2 game I have ever laid my hands on. Its like having sex with all of the Final Fantasy girls at once, just war style. Weapons are evenly balanced and multiplayer action is 50 times more intense than medal of honor.

I have a bunch of war stories, if anyone would like to hear it I could start a new topic about it

[Spyder]

Yeah, I like WWII shooters as well. I have Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, and I used to have Battlefield 1942, which kicks ass as well, especially because there are vehicles, airplanes, etc. I'm really looking forward to Battlefield 2 when it comes out, even though it's modern day. I have a bunch of other FPS' as well, like the Half-Life Platinum Collection, Half-Life 2, Doom 3, DF: Black Hawk Down + Team Sabre, Joint Operations, Rainbow Six 3, and Ghost Recon w/ both expansions. I wonder when I got so much into FPS'. I used to never play them... I'm downloading Pariah right now. Supposed to be a pretty good game. Despite my piracy habit, A lot of the games I own are actually legal. Probably because many times you can't play online multiplayer without a legal key.

Grand Theft Auto Vice City. Action game. This is the kind of game that I would play just to kick back and have fun . I usually go around killing people and trying to max out my felony rating, then I challenge myself to outrun a bunch of cops. It's really fun.

Neverwinter Nights. My favorite PC RPG...but that's because Morrowind wouldn't run on my PC. I have 2 expansions, each adding up numerous classes and items. My favorite part has got to be the Toolset which allows me to make my own NWN RPG. It has a very C-esque language too. Very powerful.

The Sims 2. Ashe loves it, so I thought of giving it a try. It's awesome, but the system requirements are simply too high. It runs like crap(5 seconds lag during gameplay, 15 minute loading time for loading families) on my Celeron 2 GHz.

Sim City 4. Awesome graphics and...awsome graphics Very Happy
Actually all I want is that we get to build a city and explore it in depth a la GTA.

[Spyder]

Yeah, NWN is an awesome RPG as well. I have it, but none of the expansions.  It's too bad I have some weird medical disorder that prevents me from actually completeing games ever since graduating from high school... I used to play Gran Turismo games religiously, but I seem to only have completed 13% of GT4, and now I haven't touched it in months...

I played with the NWN editor many a year ago and started porting Godiva: Alpha to it's engine. Didn't get very far, but here's a screenshot.

[Khin]

Druid Circle! Smile
Frei and I also were doing a spin off of Heraldry in it too, Heraldry:Journey to Oblivia is actually a MMORPG type game and NWN is also Multiplayer supportive Smile
And since we know how to use 3dsmax, Frei designed additional monsters, items, and player graphics. We even downloaded some tilesets and additional objects. While I go about making customized portraits.

[Spyder]

Damn, sounds like a pretty major project. Is the game going to be Massively Multiplayer? Because I was aware that NWN was only a multiplayer game. My guess is it was just a typo?

[Mark of the Dragon]

Sims 2 - For those of you that aren't familiar with this game, you create families and neighborhoods and run everyone's lives from their job to their relationships with everyone around them. The best part about Sims 2 is the fact that you can customize EVERY aspect about your sims Smile


Might and Magic 6 - A first-person RPG where you create a party of 4 characters and explore the world, taking on tasks and quests as they come around. As you take certain actions, people will view you differently. Great game, even if it is from the 90s.

[Kahn]

Xenogears - Easily the best game to come out of Square. Brilliant story, great battle system, great music, 20 minutes of anime cut-scenes with voice acting, the abilities to jump and rotate the camera ect..
The team that made it left Square to form Monolith Software.

Bushido Blade 1&2- Addictive fighting games also by Square. They focused on one hit kills as opposed to damaging your opponent until KO. They gave you the ability to hit your opponents legs to slow them down, or hit whatever hands they needed to hold their sword(s). The stories were never great, however there were memorable characters, a great selection of weapons, and how far you made it through the story mode was dependent on how honorable your fighting was.
I believe the team that made them left Square and is now making the Way Of The Samurai games.

[Tough Dragon]

Tekken 4: is a fighting game the story is there was a guy named Kazuya his father Heihachi threw him in lava in Tekken 2 because Heihachi is evil then they took Kazuya in a science room studying about him there was a Devil gene in him.  So he can turn into the Devil.  But before that there was an tournament called The King Of Iron Fist Tournament.  Then it went all the way to The King Of Iron Fist Tourament 5.  Kazuya fought everyone in all the tournaments including Heihachi.  Thats how it goes.

[Khin]

Damn, sounds like a pretty major project. Is the game going to be Massively Multiplayer? Because I was aware that NWN was only a multiplayer game. My guess is it was just a typo?

Yeah, we had to shrink down the scale of H:JtO so that NWN can accomodate it. It's just for test though, the real version should be fully MMORPG w/c I plan on making using Java. But that's thinking too far ahead Very Happy I gotta finish Freija first Wink

[GameCharmer]

I love makin modules in NWN.  I got both expansions, ane I got the CEP patch.  I also have numerous item crafters and character makers.  I have close to 100 some additional Hak Paks that the CEP patch doesn't offer.  If you want anything, just ask, I can put up some good stuff.  I worked on a huge module consisting of 200 some odd maps.  My harddrive got fried in January when I got my new system around (damn A-Bit and their screwy screws).  I am slowly building back everything, but I want to compile the complete list of 12,000 items in Sacred again.

Am I writing to much?

[Tough Dragon]

How about we give a description of a DVD that we like.  What I mean is tell the story of the DVD I guess it's clear now I'll go first.

National Treasure

A movie where there was people fighting for a treasure that was fought over for years even when the first president was alive.  And these guys was searching for it.  They found out they have to look in the back of the Declaration of Independence to find out.  The other reason why they stole it because these other people tried to steal it.  After they stole it they went through all this mess to find out about the treasure.  Finally they found it out, got the treasure and the bad guys got arrested for trying to steal the Declaration of Independence.  And thats the end.
