Re: What game are you playing now?

st Anyway, whenever I start to get bored with what I'm playing, it's always fun to scan through my Steam library and install a handful of games to try out. I've got all my games categorized by genre, which makes it a bit easier to find something that seems interesting. I've seen people online …

Already did 🙂 Finished Prey (2017) . Didn't impress me: I liked the graphics, apart from the human models, the level design and the atmosphere, but gameplay-wise I didn't enjoy it too much. I played on Hard, so it makes sense that it's difficult, but the enemies are too OP: they are bullet sponges, …

After Unreal, I will play System Shock 2 on the same build. For playing the fantastic System Shock 2, I would normally suggest using the bug-fixes, gameplay balances, and graphical upgrade mods listed here: https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4447.0 SCP (Shock Community Patch) is especially …

Probably everyone knows this, but there are excellent fan-made Windows games engines for the most popular build engine games, with better mouse control, widescreen and high resolution support, and other modern enhancements. https://lerppu.net/wannabethesis/ has 32 and 64 bit engines for Blood , D …

Been replaying Wolfenstein 3D using ECWolf. So far I'm halfway through Spear of Destiny, and I'm not sure what I'll do after that. Maybe I'll play through Return to Castle Wolfenstein again. You need to play Real RTCW. It's RTCW, the way it was meant to be played. The content from the console …

I remember seeing Dark Forces on my mate's PC, when it was released. It was amazing, it really looked, sounded, and felt like Star Wars. But for some reason, even though I loved good Doom style games, when I got my first PC a couple of years later, I never picked up Dark Forces, so I probably only …

I went and bought this remaster (the PS4 version). I was never a fan of the game, but it was very reasonably priced and I want to encourage Night Dive Studios to release more of their games on consoles. This release doesn't alter my personal opinion of Quake 2, but as someone else said "If I was a …

Recently bought Unreal Tournament III (from 2007) for 10 EUR. Pictured here along with some of my other physical games from the WinXP era. I only got around to backing up my UT3 disc today. It's much appreciated that there is no copy protection, other than the CD key which is required for online …

A fully remastered version of the 1997 PC game Quake 2 has been released, for the PC, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, XBox One, the XBox Series S, and the XBox Series X (I think I got the names right for the last two XBoxes). And this package contains not only the original game, but both official …

How to stop Windows from losing/forgetting it's settings?

1. In Windows 10, whenever I am using Windows Explorer (the basic file manager) and I open a folder, then if I haven't been in that folder before, or at least not recently, then it always defaults to the information order of: File Name, Date Modified, Type, Size. Even though I'd prefer it to be: …

Re: Remastering games, is it really worth it?

Posted on 2023-07-29, 19:44

in Milliways
My biggest disappointment about remasters, at least in my experience, is that they never fix the little problems that the fans wish that they would fix. I get that they are 'remasters', nor 'remakes', and so the intention isn't to alter the game really, just to make them look better, but with some …

Re: Information on 'imaging' a hard drive, please.

Posted on 2023-07-23, 19:05

I didn't know the 360 could only use proprietary hard drives (thanks Microsoft). Can I at least make a disc image from the 360's hard drive (now that it has all of the games on it that I want), and then if the hard drive becomes corrupted, then I can put the disc image back on the hard drive to …

Information on 'imaging' a hard drive, please.

Posted on 2023-07-20, 01:31

I was wondering how accurate a disc image (specifically a hard drive image} is? I was playing on my XBox 360, and as we all know, mechanical/electrical things all fail eventually, So I thought about backing up the console's hard drive for if (or when) it stops working. I am familiar with creating …

Looking to buy a garden strimmer, and weed killer.

The house I am now living in has a garden at both the front and back, well,, I say 'garden', but they both mainly consist of stone flags, with parts on the sides that are just soil. And there are a lot of weeds growing between the flags and also of course growing in the open soil parts, and also …

Re: Quake 1 bots

Posted on 2023-07-12, 23:25

in Windows
Doesn't the recent-ish Quake remaster have bots? How do they compare to the third party bots? The thing I didn't like about the Quake third party bots was that there was no in-game menu for adding/removing/modifying bots and their behaviour. It wasn't a total loss, as you could bind the bot options …

I think a game with a not-annoying escort mission has not been invented yet. They are always annoying even today. Escort missions where the person you're escorting is armed and well programmed (i.e they can actually shoot the enemy, they don't run into your bullets, and they are actually aware of …
