Need For Speed: High Stakes done. Got a bit concerned when the very first race of Tournament of Champions was a winter themed track with weather on and one of the opponents went full IDDQD and disappeared into the horizon. Fun to race against opponents who don't have to obey the same rules of …

There are only 9 levels in this expansion, but they are well made, with some cleverly hidden secrets. The new maps are chock-full of enemies, but you almost always have plenty of space to circle strafe and dodge, which makes the fights very enjoyable. So far, this is my favorite official Doom 1 & 2 …

If you happen to mean the "CD keys activate on Steam" on PCGamingWiki I'm 99.9% certain that just means you can activate a free Steam copy with the CD key. Looking at the requirements section on original release box it says nothing about needing Steam or online connection. I wasn't sure of that …

Prey.jpg Bought a NOS copy of Prey (2006) today, albeit the budget re-release. It was sealed when I got it, so the CD key wasn't used. This was important to me because I read that this game requires online activation via Steam. However, it turns out that this Sold Out re-release does not need to be …

You're going to need that joystick for TIE Fighter, I still remember the pain of dogfighting A-Wings with a TIE Bomber using mouse. Those mouse feet probably got the same amount of travel playing TIE as with six months of normal usage. Great game though, highly recommend it. I did try X-Wing after …

Re: EAX appreciation thread

Ah yes, that's a good example. If I recall correctly, EAX support in NFS3 works best with VxD drivers, and the game exhibits some audio issues if WDM drivers are used instead. I noticed this type of behavior with a few other games which were made before 2001 or so. For example, Baldur's Gate 2 …

I'm a recent convert, I realized how good EAX actually can be only less than year ago. Back in the day when I turned from console gamer to PC around 2001 I used integrated sound chips on my motherboards and a 2.0 stereo speaker setup, the motherboard I used from late 2002 / early 2003 to around 2008 …

Oof, didn't remember that. I've got this memory of always having to look behind you at every encounter because the game constantly spawned something back there, does that really happen that often? Wasn't a huge fan of that. I think I'm maybe half way through the game, and I had it happen around 10 …

Speaking of imps, the scenes where they lunge at you after opening a door are getting overused. It was kinda cool the first couple of times, but after experiencing this repeatedly, I now simply sigh and roll my eyes. Oof, didn't remember that. I've got this memory of always having to look behind …

All in all, I think this game is pretty mediocre. The few good points that it has are offset by some truly awful design choices that the developers made, especially during the final levels. Definitively not one of my favorites among the C&C games. Exactly how I see it too. And yeah, there's a …

Repair and Computer Use can be interesting if you pick up the droid companions, especially for restoring a certain HK unit later on. But yeah, during normal gameplay, I never felt like I needed to use them. The Jedi powers are where this game really shines. If you're playing a Light Side user, be …

I've mostly been playing console RPGs in the living room lately (completed Lennus [SFC] and Shining and the Darkness [MD]; currently working on Dragon Quest III [FC]), so I haven't been posting here much. This might be PC centric forum, but I've never thought this topic or Vogons in general to be …

Yeah, completing secondary objectives sometimes provided additional equipment drops, and I did like that. But discovering and finishing the secret tertiary ones just got me some pep talk from HQ. I guess they might affect the post-mission score card, but I never really cared about that to be honest …

Also, I'm not sure if those secret tertiary objectives actually result in any rewards? Doesn't seem like it so far. Didn't the game have a score/rank screen after every level, I figured the secondary objectives probably only affect that. Some secondary objectives might reward you with a vehicle …
