[quote="Bluemouse":3r5tsx9e]What do you guys play the most of?

Are you asking which system or which game genre?

The only current gen system I own is a PC.

[Bluemouse]

Any of the above, really. So I guess, what game(s), systems, and genres do you play the most of?

[Tatyina]

my favorite games have always been sand box games or like... puzzlers.

Fallout 3 and New Vegas, Shadowrun for Sega Genesis, Fuckin Toe Jam and Earl! Final Fantasy XI (the MMORPG)

and crap like the Oddworld series (only played Abe's Oddyssey 1 and 2 though)

I mostly do Playstation, before that was Sega and before that was NES.

Play a little bit of PC but never really got too into it myself. Mostly cause I've always had shitty computers that won't run games.

Also like Civ 3 a lot.

I got my 360... play a lot of sandbox games and rpgs.

PC only.

I have an Eve online account(payed by game card) and a browser soccer game, but have not bought or played a game since 2008 or so(with HL 2 being the first victim of that, loved Halflife 1 -.-) when the trend to sign up on steam for games started, just not my type of meat. Last games I bought were F.E.A.R, which was awesome, and Guild Wars.

Never really regretted not having a console until the Batman games were released, that kind of bugged me.

[Tatyina]

Those Batman games were awesome. And there's nothing wrong with Steam. It's free to sign up for and there are actually plenty of free games on there as well. I play Champions Online on there and it's totally free (most MMO's are doing micro transactions now)

And i think it's a very good game. As far as customizing your character, which is very, very important for me in a game <.< I think it's definitely one of the best. Plus I like being able to make my own bad guys and beat them up.

[Bluemouse]

wtf is Steam?

and

OMG TOEJAM AND EARL IS THE BEST! Sometimes at work I still get the music stuck in my head, and no one cares. I need to find that again.

Steam is essentially a game store by Valve. You download the shop client, and most new PC games (as well as a ton of older ones) show up on it for purchase. It keeps a master list of your games, easily accessible so you know what you have.

They also do completely insane sales several times a year. Completely insane as in 'Buy 600 dollars worth of this company or that company's games for 90% off for these two days only'.

Steam is kind of essential for PC gaming these days.

[Tatyina]

What I LIKE about it, is that it basically saves the games you have put/purchased onto steam so once you have them you can play them on any pc that can run steam/the game. Some games even save data so you can hop onto a game from a different pc and pick up where you left off.

[Harrier]

I get the main(?) purpose of Steam to lower the number of games stolen from them and sprare the cost of shipping and wrapping the games, I just don't like it.

Maybe I was just too annoyed by the ringing of the phone of my parents cause my father gave our adress and telephone number to everyone and his cat in the hope to win something to like the idea of giving data to corporations voluntarily. Probably still inevitable at some time, but I prefer to be dragged down that road kicking and screaming " title="Wink" />
