Gustaran Wrote:Im am still playing the only game on Steam I have all achievements unlocked: Defense Grid -The Awakening I tried the demo for this several months ago and enjoyed it, but have not gotten back to it yet. Too many other games going on right now.  But it was a lot of fun. Flamethrowers were great fun to use, even when they were not optimal choices for the scenario. 
Gustaran Wrote:Planescape: Torment is probably my all time favourite game. I still have the original box here in my shelf along with the official guide I'll try to finish it, then. I was having trouble finding free time in the last weeks, so my interested vanished a bit. There are a lot of interesting ideas in the game's story. The whole portal lore is very well thought. The Fall from Grace "brothel" is a very exciting (  ) idea: it remineded me a bit of "the house of the sleeping beauties" by Yasunari Kawabata. I even considered writing something using a similar idea, since I found it very creative.The main character is pretty nice too. haphazard1 Wrote:I tried the demo for this several months ago and enjoyed it, but have not gotten back to it yet. Too many other games going on right now. Its very fun. I really liked the British AI guide (because someone started this trend of endearing British AI, possibly this game). I got every level without losing any cores. Cannons are sweet.

It goes on sale pretty frequently, lately you could pick it up for ~5$ and I have almost 100 hours played on it since release  Quote:I'll try to finish it, then. I was having trouble finding free time in the last weeks, so my interested vanished a bit. I must admit I am somewhat nostalgic about this game  but what I really liked was the almost philosophical approach the story takes from time to time. It was one of the few games that really asked interesting questions (i.e. if it is really desireable to be immortal or not...) Maybe I am already to oldschool, but to me that is in stark contrast to the average modern FPS - story which usually consists of "you are the good guy and you must shoot all the evil terrorists/north koreans/communists/nazis" to save the world.  I still remember that mechanical Nordom party member saying:""I think therefore I am... I think"
Gustaran Wrote:I must admit I am somewhat nostalgic about this game I think the same. I found the game while looking for "games with good storys". I also heard a lot of good things about "Vampire: Bloodlines". I'll probably try it some time. And there is a very interesting article on Rock, Paper, Shotgun about this game, which expands into the storyline problem you mentioned. Here's the link: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/02/...loodlines/ I think it's worth a read and there are some pretty good comments to the article too.

I could give you a save from my current one, its December 2027 and I'm managing Barcelona. I've England, France, Spain, Germany, Italy all loaded on a large database c. 46,000 persons. Only one major shift as regards teams and it's a doozie. I could always run a new one for you with different settings, it'll take about a day and a half though. Oh and I forgot Pokemon black, thanks for reminding me Bob!

Quote:Football Manger 2011 was another game that dissapointed me. My favorite version of these Manager games is still CM 01/02 (I think it is one of the CM 3 versions). FM10 would probably be the best so far, but I prefer 11, it's a bit smoother and the good additions are top class. Quote:They added some nice things in the later versions, but also a lot of bad ones too (agents - I have to give my players raises every week because of this buggers :neenernee -; talking with players - which are entirely random, from what I understand -; the press conferences, with the same questions everytime). I actually really like agents (except the odd one who tries to stiff me) as they give an extra layer to negotiations and you now generally know why a player quit negotiating. Team talks are still very simplistic (they should take the multi-layer system from CM10 the only good thing with that game) and the press conferences are too similar, and the AI can still be very rough wrt to building regen teams. Quote:And it seemed to be too difficult to sell players in the 2011 version. A friend of mine told me it was a bug of some sorts, but I never looked after the information. Do you know something about it, Brian? Never had problems in any of the three versions with selling players. Sometimes you have to lie the loss, but any time a regular starter left I would have been able to get over the odds (sometimes I didn't due to wanting a quick sell). There were issues with out of the box I believe and Man City always have c. 10 top players for sale. The AI is bad in transfers and contracts here, which is probably the biggest problem. For Example the top scorer in Spain last year scored 55 goals at 23, guess what his release fee was? Maybe we could get a FM SG going some time. I've '09 '10 & '11 (my '05 disk broke and I've only the X-Box version of '07).
