Default Re: which game you play

Yeah I'm only 2 days old so I have no idea lol. Started mining and followed a guide to get a Bantam - now I think I'm making my way to a Retriever, but again I'm too noob to understand why lol.

Seems fun though, its a game that at least compared to WoW -- will actually let me get work done on the side. WoW you need to always pay attention, but EVE I can Mine and let it do its thing for 2 minutes, then just transport / return.

Only literally just got a Drone, and it killed two rats easy so should make things easier.

I forget my character last name - search for Blaine when servers are back up.

Edit: Nevermind I added you.

Edit: Nevermind we're talking.

Gameplay is awesome too. Same sandbox capabilities as Far Cry had when it first came out.
Far cry was an awesome game, the graphics were just brilliant at the time of release (well the water, i loved how they did the water).

Far cry 2 was a great example of how not to continue a game series.

I know I was so impressed with Far Cry. I couldn't get over it I had a nerdgasm everytime I played it.

So outperformed its time and in my opinion underappreciated.

I bought Far Cry 2, traded it back in shortly after. So disappointing. Repetitive and Boring were the trademarks of that game. Nothing at all like the original, well, except for the massive sandbox.

Agreed, Fary Cry 2 had some redeeming points, but i think with a little more care and attention it would have been a great game, not a boring repetative one (key point being not linking it to Far Cry). The story itself was fairly interesting and this wasn't properly exploited and was pretty underdone.

I have kept track of the work that Crytek do, they are pretty good (a good friend of mine gets motion sick playing almost all FPS, he had the least problems to date with Far Cry). Oh well, none of these games to my mind has ever beaten Half Life when it was released (still one of the best games ever).
