PC Enthusiast-Fi (PC Gaming/Parts/Overclocking) - Page 17

I've been disappointed by the Steam deals so far. Haven't purchased anything yet.

Have picked up a few games on GoG though. I got the Witcher 2 and the "Dungeons and Dragons" pack (Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, etc) for a pretty sweet price.

I got Witcher 2 ages ago on steam and GOG still honoured my backup copy through them. :) Great game, probably the only game in my Steam catalogue where I have all the achievements. I wish it was a bit longer(and had an even tougher difficulty mode).

Right now I'm playing through NWN, since it's one of the few games my work laptop can actually play.

There's only been two AAA games I've bought at release or paid full price for in the past few years:

-Skyrim(preordered)

-Mass Effect 3(Collector Edition Physical Preordered. Disappointed)

The next game I'll probably be paying full price for is either Company of Heroes 2 or Rome II, which ever comes first.

TF2 got boring really quick. I think I'm going to uninstall it and hope I won one of those freebies over at Overclock.net so I can get Terraria or FTL. Dirt 3 is nice but I'm not that good at Gymkhana. Feels awkward to steer without pressure sensitive controls or something else (analog sticks or driving wheel).

I havent played COH 1 yet. I have it.

Best played with friends. My student house last year had the most awesome 6 player skirmish battles. The campaign is okay, but multiplayer is where it's at.

Logitech G9X. Yes, I am an FPS gamer. 

 

Why? I initially wanted the G700 as it was wireless but whatever.

 

So why? It was on sale..or kinda. The MW3 version is

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005S0KHIC/ref=ox_ya_os_product

 

I looked online. It is the same thing as the G9X EXCEPT it comes with another MW3 faceplate(oh...yay?) and a mouse pad that fits the G9X (yay) but of course. The mouse pad is MW3 as well.

 

Obviously they are getting rid of stock

 

$39.99 with free shipping with bonus mouse pads on a used to be "premium" game item when the mouse is $90 in other places.

 

I needed a new mouse anyway

 

I am not really biased against COD so whatever. MW3 was not a good game however. >_< *sigh*

 

Whatever. cheap mouse.

I don't really play FPS games at all. Not competitively anyhow. Really enjoyed Hitman Absolution though, if that counts. Bit short, although I guess replaying games like Baldurs Gate and NWN does spoil me a bit in that regard (the original Baldurs Gate took me a whole summer to finish back when I was 14, they just don't make them like they used to...)

I hate getting minus points so I don't kill too often. That is probably why I get Veteran often? Whatever, not killing isn't fun.

Silent Assassin whenever possible. Except achievement runs or the ocassional dicking around with a shotgun(easily my favorite weapon in the game for pure satisfaction). I like having so many ways to play through the scenarios, for a fairly linear plot, it's got great gameplay.

The stop time and kill everyone mode is rather overpowered though, even if it is amusing to wipe out a whole group of 15+ soldiers in a few seconds.
