    long lasting games...well that would be morrowind i guess...i played it 25 days straight last summer, sadly havent really got into the addons tho :( as to everything else, well it seems ur just too good and need to quit gaming cos u complete everything too fast ;) it usually takes me about a week for BG2, and fl took me 12 hours lol.


    u could just get Championship Manager...infinite game time lol

    via r EVIL!! i had a via mobo till last year and i crashed all the time. now have sis and im pretty much 100% stable












    (crosses fingers, runs away from computer and hides behind a sofa)

    i built mine myself and have been upgrading for the last 3 years :S
    is currently:


    EDIT **I have been fiddling with my rig again :)**


    ECS K7S5A mobo (this is the next thing to go)
    AMD Athlon 2000+
    Thermaltake CoolMod v9 CPU fan
    512MB DDR PC3200 - Kingston HyperX (but only running @ 266Mhz due to poor mobo)
    GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64MB
    SB live! player 1024
    20 Gig hdd
    52x CD-Rom
    24x10x40 Re-Writer
    17" Sony Trinitron Monitor


    Dam Kitzmann...u blow me away ;)

    have now completed halo (3 days gametime only :()
    its a fairly good game, but theres a large part in the middle that is rather repetitive and at times it becomes more of a "Run like hell" game than a FPS lol. Anyway...would love to try it multiplayer but still no luck in that direction :'(
    I think all in all this is *probably* the best story driven FPS ive played (notice this doesnt include UT or Deus Ex (which i dont consider to be a FPS)) but i still dont think it lives up to the hype


    PS if i hear the words "Hahaha, I am a genius" one more time i think im gonna scream!

    i had that virus twice, but the hotfix worked...that is the first time i got it a day b4 it became public knowledge, and formatted to get rid. the SECOND time the hotfix worked :S

    well, i "obtained" it yesterday...one day b4 uk release ;)
    and its goooooooood :D seems to me much better than the breed demo at least

    yes, Deus Ex IS the greatest. sadly wat i heard about invisible war suggests that they r screwing around with a great design...taking out skills for more nanos, and generally making it more FPS-like...this would not be a good thing imho. hopefully the delay of the release date yet again means they have come to their senses somewhat, and are busy restoring the old values (pls pls pls)

    /rant on


    @ tulkas...OMG!! u r SOOOO wrong! UT2k3 is one of the biggest let downs EVER!! its so totally crap.


    the ORIGINAL UT is the greatest FPS imho...2k3 however has basically done away with everything that made UT a good game in the name of shiny graphics X(
    they took out the ripper, they took out domination (the best game from ut...DD is just crap) they took out the SNIPER RIFLE!! wat kinda game has a "lightning gun" (piece of shit) instead of a sniper rifle.
    Just about the only thing i DO like from that game is MP bombing run, otherwise its a crap game not worthy of the unreal tournament name. 2k4 had better be something amazing that goes back to the original values of UT, or else all they r doin is trying to make money fast by making crap games over and over (see the EA FIFA series...altho to be fair to EA they at least appear to be making some efforts to improve the gameplay)


    /rant off


    to every1 else...those of u who have played halo...which is better, halo or breed?

    well...after the "Halo beater" hype i was expecting something pretty spectacular, but now ive played the demo and im not that impressed. AI is good...as long as the enemies r inside firing range, but thats THEIR firing range. if they cant hit u they seem pretty dumb. i have taken out whole patrols with a sniper rifle, and after hitting one the rest just continue to walk in a straight line, making it very easy to kill them. surely a game which is sposed to have good AI should make the opponents clever enuff to run away when their friends start randomly dying ;)


    anyway...the point of this post is...do any of u have or have any of u played the full game, and if so wat did u think about it? is it worth me going and spending my hard earned student loan on it (;)) or should i just settle for halo/hl2 instead?
