Sparetime Online Games

Well come on it is a pretty idiotic comment to make what point are you trying to make ??

I’ve got no interest in the subject but I’ll stick my oar in anyway because I love the attention,

I’m with you, the guys a plonker. I don’t like playing golf but I don’t go telling golfers there weird because they put stupid clothes on and hit a ball round a field. Sometimes it’s better just to keep your mouth shut JP1

Done. Pounded with artillery. Difficulty level is prince so the game has been a steady one. Got some sorting out to do now.

Agreed this was/is an enjoyable thread a didn't need that nonsense. Biggest problem is when mods start trolling/posting nonsense you can't put them on the ignore list.

I think it should be moved to off topic really although unlikely to be found by new contributors to the thread there I guess.

Still only a PS3 here, am a huge GTA V fan, absolutely loved the story! Unbelievably detailed and so much to do, hilarious as well. It's also got me into looking into and following Steven Oggs work.

GTA V as well as GTA 4 and even San Andreas taught a younger me quite a bit about driving physics, lift off over steer being one of them, enabling me to be able to drift fwd cars Rather than booting it on loose terrain, just ease/lightly use the throttle and it will quietly pull itself through/up, much like real life!

I will sometimes go back to the PS2 and stick on the original Ratchet and Clank, again, a great story line and oddly addictive soundtrack for myself.

Never got into Red Dead Redemption as the Western style thing never really appealed, especially as I was so used to GTA etc. RDR2 does look epic though!

Can't see me buying a new console till GTA VI is released. Which I would be amazed if we even hear anything (officially) about it for another 2-3 years. GTA V was 5 years in development. We're over 5 years since the release of GTA V, so we could be looking at a potential 8-10years worth of potential development before GTA VI is released?

Games are a bit like reading books. At least they used to be .. now it's like reading a series of books or taking part within a film.

Some people don't like reading or complain about films not being realistic .. which is hardly the point.

the few games i try to play are nothing like reading a book
in EFT i get caned ,but i get a thrill from not being killed.
another game that dose not take much of your time, are many online racing games .
all the games i play are to play against other players.
at the end of the day gaming, is cheeper than a night at the pub.
and that is why i play games and call my self a dick .
but i am a dick ,with some of my money left after friday nite

Farm Sim got bought for my eldest son a couple of Christmas's ago and has been something we've enjoy together. I do play something to relax me when the Mrs is has control of the viewing. Made me have a look at some of the games I used to play when I younger, found command and conquer and medal of honour online. I've not got the old ps1 or 2 out yet to show my boys some proper games. I really not a fan of their mind craft game. I must admit I do not advocate heavy use of computer games in my house but every now again can be a bit of fun.

farm sim is a great game mutli player fun .

I do wish they made the Console version spilt screen multiplayer. Even the wife said she would get involved if it was.

On another note can I make two laptops be multiplayer on the same wifi network with fs?

I played the original Doom to death back in my school days. A couple of friends who were pc whizzkids (still are by their Facebook profiles) figured out how to make a serial cable to connect two of the school computers together to play Doom Deathmatch Showdown, which was pretty awesome for a while ‘til the teachers figured out what we were doing. Bit of a shame really as we were learning more about the gubbins of computers than we ever would in class.

I gave up games for 20 years or so - not the thing to be doing at uni and afterward, then I got an xbox360 to play Alan Wake (brilliant twin-peaksy type game, if you’ve not come across it) then also RDR (which was released on the same day - maybe why Alan Wake wasn’t the success it should have been).

I’ve played very few games since - not had the time really with work and family stuff. GTA4 - good game for the time but didn’t really like the characters.
GTA5- awesome. I haven’t played any other game for the past 5 years!
RDR2 I am currently enjoying at my own pace (best game ever?). Even my wife, who looks down on such things was impressed. Not looking good though - Arthur has just been diagnosed with TB...

I would have thought so. Have myself and 3 kids all link up with different mobile devices android and iOS so laptops should.

Yes you can play farm sim from two devices in the same house if they both have access to the internet. I don't know if farm sim allows direct client to client play, as many older games did using null modem mode etc, I think you have to create a host that is logged with their central server and then the other play searches online and finds it and joins.

You can also hire a dedicated server for a lot of different games, this tends to cut down lag but involves some setting up and admin.

Yep, play a lot when I have spare time. Been playing fs since 15, onto 19 ATM. OSU is also a challenging game I love, free too. Warhammer is good, fortnite too. Most battle Royale games in fact. I could go on forever really, but I won't. Gaming is good especially in winter evenings, when all jobs are done. Even better with friends

 

[Daniel Larn]

Has anyone gone for CS:GO now that it's free? I've played it for ages, but only ever a pirate copy that we used for LAN matches on the boats.

I'm tempted to get it, but fear I will be way behind the rest of the field.

Perhaps.

There's an old game called Neverwinter Nights .. you could create a mulitplayer game server .. instead of playing the game loads of players wore rags, drank game beer and "trashed" the town using burning torches .. this ended up in a show trial by the "establishment" (Mods) and the main protaganist was put in game jail.

Ha ha I just bought csgo after playing half life back in the day good job t was only £11!

Played all sorts over years I’m a fan of first person shooter and like most have said tv now makes me want to uthanaise my self with all the shite that’s on!

Also generational thing I suspect most of you lot 30 something’s saying that my late farther loved rocket Rodger back in the 80s

 

[ollie989898]

I cannot play CS:GO and never have been able since it's first inception, I am just not able to react or aim fast enough in that game.

I can't do it; I used to be really good on Xbox 360 but that was in COD and with a controller. PC just seems a whole other level of player.
