NFB: Computer Games / UO

[Sean 94z28]

Any UO players around here? If so, what shard? (it's more like a virtual world than an action frag fest - I am getting old and slow I guess)

If not, what else ya like? I tried the console thing for about 6 months but kept coming back to PC. Then again the console multi-player deal hadn't started yet.

If you are a Simpsons fan, Simpsons Hit and Run is crazy driving (crashing) action.

Was thinking of trying Doom3 when the price comes down.

Consoles are for the people who just don't want to bother tweaking and setting up just to play a game. For a console it's just insert CD and play.

The game that I'm currently playing right now is FFXI (Final Fantasy 11 Online). I beat Doom 3 a month ago. That game was awsome.

Here's a link to the Doom 3 Demo, http://www.3dgamers.com/news/more/1095597066/

I've been playing a lot of Unreal Tourn 2004 online, and Far Cry too. Have Doom 3, don't like it much. It's got great graphocs/sounds, but it's too repetitive for me... Open door, kill monster, find key, repeat.. I like more content.

Also just got Star Wars Battlefront, I'm liking it, still playin it.

Can't wait for Half Life II.

Have Doom 3, but it's too repetitive

Jeff, what first-person shooter isn't?

btw, do you play Counter-Strike: Source? If so let me know, I have a 40 player server. I'm getting 3 more servers when it comes out next week.

haha, wow.. i've played every game listed above. eesh, im such a geek.

i played uo in like 1998 and quit in 01.. maybe 02? played on sonoma...
That game got wayyyy to lame:P

Doom 3 was like watching a horror movie, absolutely amazing game, but yeah, way too repetitive, as are all 1 person FPS games....

and as for CS, i got banned from VAC servers because i downloaded a huge skin pack i downloaded off skinshack a couple months ago, (weeeeird) and havent played since, so now i just sit around work overtime and spend money on my car instead.

computer games just got boring.

I haven't playd CS: source.. I'm kinda for HLII!

And what FPS aren't repetitive? Have you tried Far Cry? Best FPS I've played so far.. I love that game. And online play is awesome when you get your friends together and go to a small map and have a kill fest. It gets frickin hillarious..
