what's a good computer game to get?

[MP5]

I finished Quake3 and halflife, I am looking for a game that is similar in that i want to walk around and blow shit up. Any cool ones I should get?

 

[dballer]

mp5....how'd you like Half life??? I loved the first 3/4 of that game, but once you go over to the alien world, the game takes a serious nosedive. And the last boss was so stupid, such a let down, I didn't bother putting any time in trying to finish the game....it wasn't worth it. But for the first 3/4 of the game you couldn't pull me away from the computer!!!

Max Payne, American Mc Gee's Alice, Undying...These are all first person shooters (sort of) that are hella cool. They all require some fast pc's to run though.

 

[MP5]

are those first person type games, where I am staring down the barrel of the gun killing shit?

 

[MP5]

oops, by the time I was done posting there were more replies.

Hey Big, I thought the first 3/4 of halflife was cool as shit, and then it sucked a big dick. It got too wierd and all that teleporting shit sucked. The ending was a real let down. i thought the marines or someone would tell me what the hell happened. The last 1/4 pretty much ruined the game for me, i liked shooting the soldiers and killing the lab guys when I was done with them by shooting them in the face with the shotgun, more than killing wierd alien things.

mp5, that alien baby was so annoying that I honestly couldn't bring myself to turn the game on anymore to try to finish it.........so I mineswell ask you what happens after you beat it?? Who was the dude in the suit that you kept seeing throughout the whole game??

 

[MP5]

after you keep shooting the alien in the top of the head he starts sparking and lightning shoots out then you are zapped to the next screen which is the guy in the suit. All he says is you are highly recommended for the job and you can either jump into a teleporter and the game ends, of he gives you the option to pass and he shows you a level he says you would not beat, it just shows a bunch of monsters standing in a line, the ones that shoot the bee guns. But you don't get to fight them, the game ends and you see the credits. i never even figured out who or what he had to do with the game. it sucked.

The last computer game I ever bought was one of those Leisure Suit Larry games....

....nothing but a big tease....

 

[Taps]

Yeah, the last 1/3 of Half Life sucked. Still my favorite game of all time though.

There's sequel of sorts out now, called Opposing Force. It takes place during the events in Half Life, but is told from the perspective of the Marines. I don't have it, but my buddy got it when it first came out and says it's a lot of fun. you can probalby download it off the net by now. If you can't it probably won't cost ya more than $20 or so.

Also check out Clive Barkers: Undying. That is the scariest game I've ever played. Seriously, it really, really freaked me out. Turn the lights down, crank up the sound...yikes! Not quite as action oriented as Half Life, but it's still a great first person shooter. Best use of sound effects in any game I've ever played.

The new Wolfenstien is supposed to be good too. My suck-ass PII350 is too slow to play it though.

Oh, and if you haven't tried out the HL-mod Counterstrike, you don't know what you're missing.

Delta Force: Land Warrior.
It's a great first person shooter that isn't confined to a building or dungeon. It's all open combat with actual Army issue weapons.

didn't you guys notice that the business suit man (at the end of the game) was walking around alot during the game? i saw him about 6 times.



half life has gooooood multiplayer games. multiplayer team fortress & multiplayer half life are great games.

but you may need to upgrade your connection (if you are on dial up) and your graphics card.

 

[BigPhysicsBastard]

god...that makes feel better about not finishing the game, what a fucking rip off. They don't even explain who the fuck the suit guy is?? who's taken both options?? what were the outcomes of both of them??

 

[MP5]

I took both options, the first option the guy says "wise choice" and the game is over, all you see is credits. The second where you don't teleport you are suddenly surrounded by like 10 of those big monster guys with bee guns and the sky is full of those flying things that look like mantarays. But then it fades out and you see credits, you don't even get to fight them or have a weapon. fucking game.

 

[BigPhysicsBastard]

that sounds really gay....I'm glad I didn't finish it, I would have been pissed if that was my reward for putting up with having to fight baby huey....damn, that's terrible.

midtown madness 1 and 2(car racing thru real cities), tropico(you get to be a dictator), the operative no one lives forever(really good first person shooters with a 60s spy theme)

Alice man...That was one terribly fucked up game. It takes a twisted view on Alice in Wonderland. In the game, Alice is a catatonic teenager in her dreamed up Wonderland with homicidal tendencies wearing knee high leather boots and a blood stained apron, weilding a kitchen knife. Cheshire cat is your mangy mentor using cryptic clues leading to a most distrubing confrontation with your demented subconscience in the form of the Queen of hearts.

It plays like a first person but you see the character, making it easier to jump around and stuff. It really is graphically breathtaking and the game play is great. The story line is what really shines. Try it.
