This thread is similar to the music forum's 'What cha listening to right now?' Thread... basically what game are you playing on a regualr basis.
Mine is:
NCAA March Madness 2004 for XBOX
My previous game was NFL Street, but it pissed me off because it glitched and lost four of my wins and I have to go back and replay the whole AFC Central again. So I'm boycotting it for a short period.

World Series Baseball 2k3, anxiously awaiting All-Star 2005 and ESPN Baseball. I prefer the ESPN game, but All-Star has an expansion mode and you can start up a team in Charlotte, so that's pretty cool.
Project Gotham Racing 2 is awesome too.

I beta tested swg. Played it for about an hour or two and thought it sucked. People are selling their swg accounts on ebay for mad cash.
I heared it sucked in the beginning. I 've been playing it for a month now and so far I like it. They've introduced vehicles in the game which is a major improvement. This summer they're supposed to do a space expansion.

I dig it. If you've played games like CivII-III or Age of Empires, it's a lot like a mix of the two. Never played it multiplayer, but the World Campaign scenarios are interesting, have different difficulty levels, and you can usually wrap any single scenario up in an hour or less.
After I tire of it, I'll probably start the newest Madden for PC. Been playing this for about 3 mos.

I'm also playing True Crime: Streets of L.A.
Lesse, Finished LotR: Return of the King recently. Also playing a rental copy of Devil May Cry. Don't like that one as much as I thought I would. True Crime is decent though. How do you like it TimTam? The streets are pretty accurate and there are some landmarks that look right. I don't like the fighting so far, but the gun-play is good and the driving is good.
I was hoping for a new Grand Theft Auto game, and it's close, but not quite. Then again, I only just finished the first set of missions.
I also played to marathon sessions of Empire Earth (with the expansion) this weekend that were pretty fun. It was the kind of gaming where you're surprised to see the dawn when you quit and there's eighty coke cans in the trash.

Thanks Mags. I had read that it played like a mix of CIV and AOE. I love both of those games so that's a pretty good endorsement. The thing that was keeping me from buying it a few months ago was the steep $$ tag (last I checked it was still selling for $50). Multiplayer is not an issue for me. Not yet anyway with me still using dial up. So I'm looking for stuff that's good for a single gamer.

I gotta check that one out. I'd like to mess with something that's a bit more fight-intensive, a little bit more detail specific of one person's role rather than one person v/s the world or nation v/s nation.
RoN is very strategically fun, especially later on. I like how it takes the medieval to gunpowder range military and adds in industrial warfare and goes past it. The biggest thing about AOE and games like that, you stopped short of gunpowder and maybe one or two civs had it at the very end.
Yeah, it takes a bit of the AOE thing with the territorial and strategic aspect of CivIII - the more land you control, inevitably the more resources you control.
Yeah, the price of most new games is off-putting. One of my old roommates usually buys games and copies them for me anyway. The ones he doesn't pirate...yarrr. I've never bought a game since 98.

AOE is fun. I just make a shit load of monks and keep converting the transports sent to attack me. Then store all of them up until I have developed my forces to pop level of 200 and take my population way up into the 350 range. It starts to slow down the game though :mad:
I thought that if you monked a transport, what was inside was still part of the enemy? I coulda sworn I did that once and popped out the contents but it trojan horsed me.
I really think that I'd like to get into a dogfight style air game. Can't find my stick, though.

It is still the enemy - so it only counts as one towards your pop total. So, once you get to 200, simply take all your monks and a couple of combat troops to a desserted island - preferably on a penisula - put your combat troops b/w the transport and your monks, set them to no attack, and then select the transport. To get the troops off the transport one at a time, simply click on the icon in the transport window. Then have your monks convert it.

Ha ha. Nice strategy. In the expansion to Empire Earth it gives Babylon the ability to build priest towers that automatically try to convert enemies that come into range. With a good deployment of those and normal towers and invasion would be thwarted by my priest towers converting their incoming troops and the ensuing scuffle between their invaders and the newly converted invaders. Later on you can upgrade to multiple conversions and building conversions as well. That and that the game spans 15 ages from Prehistory through Space warfare has rekindled my interest in it.

I never really got in the habit of using monks. I may need to give this a try tonight. We should move this to a AOE thread for future reference.

I remember playing it a lot for a while, we tend to switch between different RTS games, but I can't remember why we stopped. The games were freakin' long was one reason, but I don't remember why else.
I do know that the stupid Conquer the World campaign would always make my computer crash, stupid Windows. that was discouraging.

Hard to say. If you're familiar with the concept of this game and the others like it, and would otherwise dig it, then I suggest reading some game strategy information on rushing. That really got me revitalized on the game because I'm more of a sit back and defend, then build up and attack guy in theory. I got good enough at it that I could take out their initial defenses and make a strong dent in their infrastructure. Taking out their citizens really pisses them off.
When you're playing more modern campaigns, it's easy to raid them by taking fighters after their citizens and trade wagons.
They tend to be great defense against artillery attacks, too.
If you don't usually dig this type game, it's hard to suggest much, though you might dig the macromanagement of being able to use modern machinery in the air and on the water, so you might try a game that starts in the modern age, start out easy, and just bomb the shit out of them till you want to attack.

HUGE fan of this type of game... played Age of Empires 1 and 2... Age Of Mythology 1 and 2... and even a Star Wars version that has the Standard and the expansion types much like the others... but I was always big on holding back and building up a solid defense that would hold off attackers... and while that defense held I'd advance my civilizations until everything was maxed... once that happened I built a massive army and started an all out assault... this game doesn't really allow for that.

I played it because IceWind Dale and Baldur's Gate were so good. It was not nearly as good as I hoped. Some of the things they did made it really hack and slash instead of the detailed role-playing of the other games. It was kinda like Dungeon Siege in that way, I just got bored of it because it was a little repetitive and the graphics are a little generic.

You gotta take stabs at them at some point, if for no other reason to disrupt their economy to give an advantage. if you play this again, research some basic rush techniques and it'll really change how you play the game. But you can't be scared to lose some units early on. It's really made me be able to play all those games better, because I'm less passive.
I like hanging back, for the most part, too, but you gotta be able to either squash any offensive nearly immediately or be ready to counter with your own. If you let them just run free on moderate or higher, eventually they'll just have unlimited resources to thrash you with.

rise of nations is pretty cool. i think the technology gets a little too overwhelming, tho. i do like the way you can have multiple people controlling a single civ, tho. rise of nations has a very low pop cap, tho, so if you're playing against a lot of civs, you need to hack your xml scripts to up this number or you'll have serious stalemates as each side has far more resources than they know what to do with. at least, that's how many of my games would end up.
empire earth is a bit more solid. i just got the expansion and it adds a lot to the game -- mainly that each civ is a little more special. also, it can be had in the bargain bin these days, but it's still a really, really good game.

I was wondering about Call of Duty, Rise of Nations, and Empire Earth - all of them. So thanks. I now plan on wasting some $$$ and time on new games this weekend. Maybe next weekend.
One note on AOE. I had not really used monks all that much either so I have to try that. And I tend to horde like Brain was describing and then go on a killing spree, so I'll have to try Mag's ideas. One of the gripes I heard about RON is that you can't use walls of any kind like you can with AOE. Does it matter?

You can't use walls, no. And I've heard that people used to use farms in warcraft to wall off stuff, too. No dice there.
The forts, castles, whatever and on up are very effective, as long as you have some quick strike ability to take out cannon-->artillery. If I get attacked by a large force, I can hold it off. If they sit back and protect their artillery it's a bastard, and that's what the computer tends to do.
One strategic plan is to set a city on one side of a mountain and try to use a forest to flank you on the other side. Then put a fortification in the gap between. If you're going to plan on hording and waiting, drop a tower or two to the side, too. With towers you can research attrition upgrades; also spend in your temple. Temples extend your city range, border range, and you can research more hit points and so on there as well. Really makes a difference when you're beating back armies at your fort.
If I have my first expansion city nearby the first city given in the game, I tend to brace those two with a fort in between, if I'm going minimalist. That tends to do a decent bit. But it's not easy as AOE where you can just take cavalry to their trebuchets and the rest die at your walls.

baldur's gate 2 was the best RPG i've played on a computer. NWN is just too generic. they focused too much on modularity and the result is that the artistry is missing. nothing feels unique or special.
dungeon siege is too monotonous. and it's too systematic as well. the items are on too gradual a curve. instead of finding some crazy rare item amidst boring items, you find a bunch of pretty similar items. ocasionally you get one that's a little better than what you're using, but it's never noticably so. also the computer can pretty much play the game by itself.
diablo 2 was pretty good, but that's a whole different animal. much more hack and slash.
icewind dale was pretty good, but didn't have the depth of baldur's gate. icewind dale 2 was crap. it looks like they quit working on it partway thru.

i sorta played a bit with some BG mods, but it was a total hack job that didn't work out too well.
for NWN, i played with some early mods and even tried to make my own, but the toolset was pretty weak, i thought. the mods really hilight just how canned the game is, in my opinion. i bought the first expansion for NWN and it sucked completely. nothing new and it was buggy. you could break adventures by doing something unexpected -- like if you run into the first room during the big fight, you can get there and interrupt things and fuck up the script and the guy never dies or says anything to you.

Ha ha. I started with Baldur's Gate 2 also and then played IceWind Dale with a friend (we each controlled 3 characters). I like the feel of those games, as close to pen-and-paper as you can get, in my opinion. Neverwinter Nights did not feel like a traditional role-playing game in that way, it may have been the switch to 3rd edition rules or something, though.
IceWind Dale I also played through with an evil party, so that kinda added a lot to the fun.

good lord, level 67 and you didn't finish? man, you musta got into the items stuff pretty seriously!
as "simple" as the game is, they did a great job of making it feel special. subtle things like item names are important. "blade of stars" is better than "sword +2". and the items were the best part, really. you'd go around kicking open everything you could hoping you'd find something new and unusual. you'd play "just a little longer" cuz you could feel that rare item coming up soon but the only thing coming up was the sun. very well done game. the expansion was good, too.

i put that on the people designing the game, tho. i hate when the "correct" path is the one that requires you to be good and offer to assist people. NWN was good at this, at least. they made the quests generic enough that you could go get item A for the good guy to help him, or get it for the bad guy for cash. same quest, just a different set of circumstances that led to it and a different reward when you finished it.

Always played straight from the expansion.
Not to say I did or didn't 'finish' the game, the third phase of the game killing Baal (?). I meant leveling the character to 99. I wanted to really prop the characters up there. But once I got to level 67, I lost interest in that character and kept building the others. I think between myself and my old roommate who got me into the game, we've got probably 100 unique or higher level set items stashed away on stash characters. I think he ended up, before we started playing different games, had a level 75 barbarian with unique armor and swords.
