I got Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars a few days ago, if you enjoy the C&C series of games I think you'd enjoy the latest installment. The setting is a post-apocalyptic earth with humans fighting mutants fighting aliens fighting predators fighting California governors. I haven't tried the campaigns, I've never played a C&C campaign come to think of it, but the skirmishes are pretty fun. You have the choice to play over a LAN, or through dedicated servers hosted by the developers of the game (which also includes a clan and individual ranking system.) or single player skirmishes/campaigns.
Unfortunately, since my copy fell off the back of a truck I'm limited to single player and LAN (Hamachi) games with friends. The maps are limited, and the map maker requires a doctorate in electrical engineering to operate. After playing about six skirmishes you've pretty much exhausted everything there is to do in this game and whether or not you enjoy doing the same shit over and over again determines the game's replayability.
I've recently come into possession of a little game called Two Worlds. I haven't had a chance to play it yet and was wondering if anyone here plays it, played it, knows somebody who's played it, read something about a guy talking about how he played it, or heard from a friend about a guy he knows who knows a guy who's played it. The only reason I got the game was because I heard there was a multiplayer function, allowing you to play the game with up to eight other players - which could be pretty fun.
After I finished installing, I did run the game to see if my computer could handle it and after making my character and running around for 5 minutes I was less than impressed with what I saw. The character creation is VERY limited, you can change little things about your characters appearance like his hair/hair color, body build, and some facial features. However, no matter how much you fuck around with the facial features your character still looks exactly how it was before you started.
The controls are a little clumsy, and the voice-overs are downright laughable. As a matter of fact, I would actually recommend this game to anyone with a sense of humor just so they could listen to the horribly done voice overs. Imagine a mid-western american with little education of the world being brought into a sound booth and asked to say "Nay young squire, varily ye are mistaken" and try not to laugh out loud.
Once Arri gets home and gets his game up and running I'll give it another go and will update after that.
Are there any other NON-MMO games out there that you guys are playing? Anything I should check out? Please post!
