Night Owl - Thread

I didn't like the first, mainly because of the clunky combat, but the second is really really fun imo, I'm not a fan of a lot of games either, mainly SC2, Mobas are fun, mainly dota and got a big thing for MMO's, tried out like every mmo possible lol.
 
Yeah, I've got unblock, but I'm not too familiar with all this DNS thing, does it change anything to your internet? I've done it to my xbox + ps3 just not my pc incase it gives me lag or something like that, not really sure about it all.

I've not really had any problems but I don't really game online so not sure how it would effect your ping etc, it's easy to change the dns on your pc, just try it out for a while, any problems then just revert back, I used to just use it on my PS3 initially but I kept opening netflix on my PC forgetting it was the UK one which was a pain.

Just had a look at the witcher 2 and I have to say the game world looks gorgeous.
Might make a nice workout for my new gpu.
I've never played skyrim either. Is that much different?

I still doubt I could get into it, but you never know.
I think the problem is that I have a friend that loves rpg's. Japanese rpg's in particular...
Having sat there and watched for a bit on several occasions, I find myself thinking 'wtf is going on here?' :D
 
heh, jrpgs are confusing, but yeah, witcher 2 looks amazing, tbh I didn't like skyrim a whole lot, only got 13hours played.
 
I dunno, I've never found more than a handful of games I really want to take time out to play regularly on PC/X360/PS3. I don't like rpg's or strategy which leaves fps/platform and stuff.
The furthest towards rpg I'll go is the Mass effect series. Any ideas?.

I love games but I feel the same, it's rare for a game to grab these days, I also have never really been into rpg's or strategy (don't think my brains cut out for it:o), wish I could get into them as I have a few friends that seem to be able to lose themselves for hours in these types of games, I'm more of a Arcade racer/shooter kinda person.

Outside of those types of games though I'd recommend Alan Wake, I really enjoyed that and the chapters are split into 'episodes' with 're-caps' like a tv serial which is good for pacing, you can just do an episode at a time which is what I did.
 
I did play Alan wake a couple of times at a mate's. Was pretty decent with a good atmosphere. Might have to take another look.

I'm a driver/shooter guy too. Was really big into the driving (Forza 3/4 + GT5) and raced in small league for a while but like an idiot I sold my steering wheel (dfgt) a couple of months before I ended up buying a decent PC... *Derp*

I'm not sure about Borderlands. I'll check out some more vids on that shortly I think.
Gotta say, those witcher 2 graphics may be enough to entice me into strange new ground...

Do you have a 360 pad? You could always play a good few racing games with that, obviously the more arcadey games such as F1 and DiRT but its better than nothing :p

pCars isn't too bad with a controller as well and that's like a half-sim.
 
Yeah I've a 360 pad for the PC, but tbh, after having a wheel, playing games like F1 with a pad is a horrible experience for me at least. Getting shaken up by the FFB on DiRT would be sorely missed too alas...

Forza was great with a pad though.

I think I'll wait til I can afford (ok, justify) a Fanatec or maybe a G27.

I dunno, I think I've developed some form of ADD or something. I've got a few good games sitting on the HD that need playing and I keep buying a new one here and there.

What games are floating your boats lately? Any genre.
 
Report in.

Had a great night watching The Blair Witch Project and drinking beer with my gf. We watch TBWP at the beginning of every Autumn, it's a tradition.

Now listening to music and relaxing with some Guinness.
 
Surely its too early for this? Either way im awake experimenting taking pictures of the moon with a modified xbox live webcam, although clouds just rolled in so only managed to get the top part :(
