Any good Vid Games you've seen recently?

I mean, I've played a lot of good games, but I've achieved 100% completion on all of them. Can anyone tell me some?

I play video games for free time on occasion, particularly on my omnitool or on the terminal, what genre do you like?

Shooters and RTSes.

Been doing a little combined arms recently. Going as sniper, obviously. Its good fun and you die and kill in very amusing ways.

I wish they'd do something about their mines and traps, they have only simulated the basics.

Done proper, a well planted charge in the rubble w/ some well placed metal pieces would not only scythe them down, but set the rest nice and good for some enfilade shots.

In CA, all you get is a bang and AoE, it doesn't scale proper with distance nor does it travel along a narrow passage.

Combined Arms is good.

There's also the one that was .. I forget the name- It was discussed just a bit ago earlier in the month.

Haven't been playing much of anything due to various work commitments, but I do know that... wait how old are you? You said 40-something in that other thread, that's fine... Anyway, EP/OmniWare has released a major update for Citadel XXX (the game, not the film), which I hear is worth a look if you like your FPS/roleplay/date-sim games. The reason behind it was obviously to adjust some of the cinematics and dialogue in light of things that came to light after the original game was published, but they also went ahead and upgraded the combat and emotional engines to what's used in the CX2 game.

Try playing in traffic. It's a super fun game for the whole species!
I think I just crossed a line here.

Mombasa, you're no longer in the running for 'food judge' position at my wife's restaurant.

Hm... Citadel XXX, right. I'll have to remember to check that out. By the way, is it an omnichip or download? Or omnidisc, I have a lot of hardware.

Hopefully it was the line into traffic.

D'you like puzzle games? You have gotta try this one-Constant Flux, it's got to do with gravity and mass effect fields and...there's liquids involved and it's hard. Sure, you feel like a total spaz the first time you try a level but it's worth doing 'em right.

Anybody else play it? I'm stuck on the Mass Relay level. Something about doing some kind of crazy turn and not just spitting your stuff into space.

I don't have time for games. I work for a living.

Cessation of all recreation-based activities for labor is a strong indicator that either the subject shall soon be overcome either by physical activity or mental stresses, or that the subject derives a pleasurable entertainment source from the manner in which he or she labors.

Perhaps a more relevant subject to contributor-Private Eyes would be which aspects of his vocation produces a pleasurable stimulus analogous to “playing a vid game.”

... Did you just ask me what I like about my job, flashlight?

Affirmative.

All the usual channels - it's available for download from ExtranetPlayground or OmniWare (although it won't show up in general browse on the latter, it's in the 'mature' section), or any store will put it on a chip or other media for you.

Or there's the combined CX/CX2 special edition, which comes on a really cool miniature replica of the SSV Intimacy with an internal wireless data stack. It's interactive too, the engines light up when you traverse a relay or travel intersystem in-game.

As do I, but there is always time for games.

You like RTS's yeah? Try Run Boy Run, you play the alien commander of a dreadnought sized colony ship escorted by the remainders of your navy after a coup overthrew the government of your homeworld and the rebels took control. You've been driven out of the cluster and into the wild and savage depths of unexplored space and are now the prime target for pirates, aggressive nations, and warlords (to say nothing of the rebels pursuing you).

Your job is to leverage the few resources at your disposal in order to defeat your many enemies both in space and planetside and defend the remnants of your people. Worlds can be conquered, purchased, or colonized and then upgraded with defenses and structures. Your fleet and ground forces can likewise be expanded, upgraded, and otherwise improved via research and resources. The game itself is rather deeper, mechanics wise, than a pure RTS and your overall tech trees and options for interacting with NPCs are varied enough as to provide you with a degree of flexibility in your choices. It strikes a happy medium, in my opinion at least, between civilization builders and straight real time strategy.

Plus, the game has some truly superb writing overall.

Okay, I've got that Citadel XXX game, and I've gotta say, I like the fighting... And the roleplaying, yeah. I only just finished the first mission, though.

Anyway, does anyone know where I can get a copy of the human game 'N7 Code of Honour: Medal of Duty 4'?

Well, that's hard to say, really. Private investigation isn't like any other job; yeah, I get to choose what cases I take, but they're not all fun cases. There are times when I either choose to do something ugly to someone or starve. It's that simple. But occasionally I'll get something interesting - tracking down some asari who turns out to be some kind of noble, or finding out what a trio of volus are doing with the old ore refinery, or even a good old-fashioned "who-dunnit" kind of mystery. Yeah, most of my job is tailing divorcees, roughing up idiots, and playing bodyguard to folks, but the good cases that come along make it worth it.

Besides, I make my own hours and answer to only one guy; me. I'd probably do a lot better working as a bootlicker for one of the merc outfits, but I probably wouldn't survive as long there - the average merc doesn't have a lot of tolerance for someone smarter than them, in my experience - and I'd have some asshole with a tiny dick yelling orders at me the entire time. I'm bright enough to know where I fit on Omega, and the darker, more subtle bits suit me just fine.

Asari_promiscuity, are you advising porn game to a baby krogan?
