Thread: Video games!

That thing aint fixed yet? yeesh... you need to work on your wolvie healing powers.

Hmm Square's site is good, the vaults are ok, too, download the benchmark from squares site and see how your computer rates. It said mine was average, but it runs the game at ful res and stuff smoothly
it will give you a peek at what the game looks like and dont worry its not nearly as choppy as te benchmark, they really put your puter to the test with a butt ton of sprites

... Maybe it's because I haven't had my meds yet today, but I have this pessimistic sort of feeling that it'll say, in a very Strongbad-esque voice, "Hello, stupid, and welcome to your crappy computer."

Remember back in the very early days of EQ when you guys would always have to wait, like, ten minutes for me to zone? I'm thinking this might be the same. Blue elf needs RAM badly. I'll check it out though, just in case my computer decides he wants to have a good day.

Edit: Ten bucks says I know what server you started on.

BUZZZZ

You cannot select your server.. which is the STUPIDEST THING EVER!!!

Penny arcade prettu much summed it up hehehe Actually scot started his character first so I kept recreating my character untill I got the right server, I have the Gil now to buy a worldpass which gives you a code I would then give it to you and when you create your character ou put it in and you start on my server we are on quetzlcotyl or however its spelled.

beware the bunnies

Ok, just watched the benchmark thingie. It wasn't the least bit choppy. Can I fall out of my chair in surprise now? Cute little people too, except that one of them was headless... that was a little disconcerting, but I'm going to assume for now that the polygons clipped one another. Goodness knows I've had to deal with that problem enough building my NWN world. Is that what the game looks like, by the way? If so, it's very nicely textured.

Ok. Looks good so far. I'm considering it. I have a few questions for you now. Is the subscription really $12.95 a month? Does it hurt much or do they lube up first? Also, what's with the "World Pass" thing? Can't I just keep recreating a character until I hit the right server (that is so retarded by the way)? And why the fuck do they charge you extra for additional characters? Aren't you alloted so many character slots like every other ORPG? Those silly Japanese. What is the interface like and is it customizable? Also: how's the roleplaying? If there is any at all, that is...?

Last question: are there a bazillion elf guys running around that look exactly like you or was I just not seeing the other characters? If every race looks exactly alike, that will suck. I have no sense of direction as it is and I don't need to get lost in a sea of Serinanths.

Hmm... on second thought, that wouldn\'t be a bad thing.

BAHAHAHAHAHA! The Inconvenience Fairy. LMFAO. I should catch up on Penny Arcade.

I love that site heheh

The avatar creation is kinda limited...there are like 7 or 8 faces and 2 hair colors well this is for the elvaan males you can also choose a small med or large character. The other races look very different the size differences are kinda comical in some senses the tiny little guys in the benchmark are a player race.

I havent seen many me's running around the armour variation helps this the variations are HUGE dependant on class etc...

Ok so only having one character... yeah its dumb... you can buy another one for an extra buck a month, however... You can change you class whenever you want in the game, you will keep all you stuff. You go to your Mog house... yes there are mogs... and they do go KUPO (isfunny) well in this house you can do all kindsa things, like put in furniture arange it grow plants... which has its benifits as you can get special items from them, and you can change your Job/class so right now I am a lvl 9 red mage, if I go to my mog house I can change my job to a warrior or a thief, I will start at level 1 for that class though, then there is the option once you reach a certain level, either 10 or 20 where you can take on a secondary job, so in essense multi task, there are many hidden jobs out there too along with skills.

As for buttering up the 12.95... well installing the game is a pain in the ass, it takes forever on the first update, probably around an hour and a half or so of downloading and installing, and there are more registration codes than god i think like 3 but the Play online interface, which is going to be the base of operations for a bunch of games I am assuming, once they come out with them, curently it has Tetramaster... that card came you could play in FFX i think and FFXI I havent played tetramaster yet. I tell you though, once the viewer starts up you get a warm and tingly feeling, its very inviting. The interface for FFXI is good too, it takes a little getting used to, but it works well very minimal if you want it to be so. As for the music I dont know if its nobuo uematsu.... It could be... its good, I like it =)

Cocobos are fast.... I nearly got run over by a group riding some the other day I started yelling at them heheh

Roleplaying, yes, I have already met a few, people seem very nice and appreciative when you help them out

Oh hehe there is no twinking either... Armour and items have a level associated with them.. if you arent that level.. sorry cant use it. hehe so thats good =)

The world pass is something I would Buy in game from a shop and then that gives me a code which I give to you it costs like 1000 gill which isint too bad I just made that the other day, or yeah you can do what I did find the avatar looks you like and class and keep deleteing and re making the char untill you end up on quetzylcotyl it will ask you to continue click yess but when it asks to start playing click no, then go to delete character and it will tell you what world your on, if its the wrong one DELETED!!! *like strongbad* if its right, back out of that scree and off ya go and I can hook you up with some stuff being I still have the 1000 gill

Holy crap... I think you ran out of punctuation again, Seri.

I'll give it some serious thought. I still don't know if I'm ready to jump into another world, and if I did I would stick in character more often than not. Goddamn it, though, I've got a storyline building up in my head. *sigh* Damn you...

Serinanths your r soooo lucky. I wanna play FFXI!!!!!!!!!!

OMG likes dammit i hate living in 56k land, i hate it

56K land.....
I should be so lucky. About the fastest I can connect is 26,600.
But at work, I am on a T1 line!

They still make those? I thought those went out with the 8-tracks.

... course, I should talk, right? I'm on Road Runner, which most of the time isn't much better than a 56k. It would be nice if they could separate my city and our neighboring city so that we're on our own nodes. Oh, and get the damn businesses on their own node, too, because they're sucking up our bandwidth. The bandwidth for the average joe right now is like trying to stuff a baby through a birth canal. It's not a pleasant thing.

I do own a 56K-flex modem

Unfortunately, phone service in this part of the county sucks!
Would you believe that a large percentage of the population was still using party lines here 10 years ago?

I am twice as far out as a DSL line can run. There is no cable that I could get a cable modem with.

I use Direct-TV, but they want a fortune for an average internet connection.

That is why most of my posts occur between 7-4 on weekdays. It takes a loooonng tim to refresh at home!

where do you live?

The hills of Tennessee. Please feel free to PM me for more.

*evil laugh*

Im on cable..when I was on 56k I used to get sky high phone bills due to overusage during the day lol

Hey, I guess that's right. In the USA, we are billed flat rate for local.
In Europe, your based on 'Units' if I remember right. The more units you use, the more Euro's you loose!

Lost quite alot of euros there hehe

€€€€€€€€

Units? Not sure what you mean but for 56k you pay by the minute. (At least here)

I'm not a hardcore gamer but I do like to play, like on the PS2 or PS3. :3

i am a gamer for life

7 year old thread bump?

I wouldn't consider myself a "hardcore" gamer but I play a lot of different kinds of games.

FPS is my #1 though.

Necro-posting is fun. :3

I plays it alls.
