Which game are you playing through for the first time?

Tales of the Abyss- 3DS

Really good game, I'm having a lot of fun with it.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

I'm on and off playing the original Deus Ex. I installed the New Vision mod so it looks a little less shit but the game is still seriously dated. Also the save system is fucking annoying, I've lost so much time forgetting to save only to be randomly killed by some random guy.

I'm trying to get into Morrowind but the fucking MGSO mod is annoying to optimize and it ranges from nonexistent to lagging my computer to unplayability. My computer isn't godtier but it should be able to handle a few basic retextures.

Well Yahtzee managed to make me get Painkiller and boy, is it a lot of fun.

I have a couple games started as well but those are in hiatus until summer break.

 

[Jan1tor]

Well I'm playing multiple games at the time.
On the 3DS I'm playing Batman 2 DC Super Heroes, Pushmo, and Zen Pinball (both original and Marvel tables)
On the 360 I'm playing Limbo, Walking Dead, Need for speed the run, and also Zen Pinball (20 different tables).

Heh, I have the Xbox version and tried to get back into it...but the game's so ugly, much more compared to even the vanilla PC version. Muddy textures, bland lighting effects, dropping frames, ugh.

Anyways, try disabling the Morrowind Graphics Extender, disabling all the shadow settings, or changing to MGE 3.8.0b. It's not the textures that cause lag, it's usually the extra shader effects that MGE applies to the game.

I guess I could live with the textures at least. The interface for it is pretty damn clunky though. Feels like a mess to navigate compared to Skyrim. I mean I only paid $5 for it so if I don't get into it then it's no big loss but I'd at least like to give it a shot considering people still praise it over Oblivion (which I thought as kinda ass) and Skyrim (which I really enjoy).

Well, a few tips:
1. Take your time with combat (hold your weapon back for a bit before swinging). This will give you a higher chance of actually hitting your opponent.
2. Limit your playstyle to what you chose in character creation. Avoid using weapons/spells that your character isn't proficient with (this is also to do with the "chance" mechanic)
3. Stamina is also really important for anything that relies on the "chance" mechanic (combat, spellcasting, alchemy, persuasion, etc).
4. Enemies don't follow you through doors.
The whole chance mechanic is probably the thing that most people complain about when playing Morrowind. If you can get past that, you'll enjoy it more.

Well i'm playing Street fighter for the first time And man i'm addicted to it.. I'm even thinking of buying an arcade stick ._.

 

[Deleted-236924]

I played Cave Story, but I'm stuck at the multiple boss (king room/core/etc.), it's too hard for me.

Ah, you would really hate the Sacred Grounds that come after that then.

 

[reshx]

i´m playing btales of the abyss for the first time.

 

[triassic911]

Been playing GBA Pokemon Hacks. So much fun to be had.

 

[linuxGuru]

I've started playing Breath of Fire for Snes. So far so good.

 

[Thanatos Telos]

Chrono Trigger and Majora's mask for VC.
Skyward Sword Hero mode, just in the middle of the triforce dungeon.
And trying to beat all the cups and speeds in MK7.

Sorta like Guild i've had Deus Ex with all the graphic mods and Morrowind pimped the same on my steam.. Well i went so far in Deus Ex just pass Honk Kong and gave up. Too futuristic to my liking and i sure as hell tried for several days to get into it. Guess i'm really not a sci-fi and anticipation person, the UI and gameplay are seriously dated.. Better memory from the ps2 version i played back in the days i'l leave it at that.

Morrowind i got all set up and it's damn gorgeous but not in the mood to start a 100+ hours sink experience, so i just leave it idle on my installed list for now, and plan to play Sherlock Holmes, the Secret of the Silver Earing.

I've been playing the Crysis 1&2, i never felt the want to play them when they got released, but made the purchase in the Steam Summer Sale and omg, what an excellent fps they both are.

 

[DragorianSword]
