Thread: What Video Game Are You Currently Playing?

Tissue is actually even worse. The best is to alwasy hold your dics this way:



That should keep the prints off. And when there is a fingerprint on it… just leave it there until your system is unable to read the disc. Then you can use those that kind of cloth they use for glasses. It really soft and works better than your dirty shirt.

Everything you just said reassured me that I am in fact not the only person in the world who freaks out when discs are treated in any other way.


And if the disc can't be resurfaced, and is truly dead-weight, there must be a ceremonial microwaving!

I think I would probably just go to a video store and get it resurfaced. It's a surefire way of finding out if it really can be fixed. (this is the point at which all hope seems lost)

Didn't work for me. The Xbox disc was already too far gone. I also managed to get toothpaste inside the middle ring of the disc…

Ouch…

I saved myself the trouble of bringing it back to the store and just bought a new one for €3. This one works perfectly and I've enjoyed it ever since! ^^

Well, good for you.

I don't usually play scenarios in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, because I suck with money, but lately I've been getting pretty into it. Although I'm pretty annoyed that if I've been playing the game for about 2 hours or so, and forget to save, it will crash when I try to save. This has happened twice now. There were also really irritating graphics problems. None of this ever happened before I switched to Windows 8.

And I thought that RCT1 and 2 would be the games that would always work… such high hopes.

Yeah… I heard a lot of people complain about cetain older games with Windows 8. But there's probably something you can download to fix it.

Yea, I went online to try and find solutions, and it seemed that running in 'compatibility mode' is the best fix. I also just found out that it wasn't how long I was playing, but me pressing the windows key that was causing it to crash on saving the game.

So if I wan't to return to the desktop, I actually need to save and quit from here on… oh well, at least there are virtually no loading times on this game :oui:

Besides being frustrated at RCT2, I've also been playing a whole heap of new PlayStation games I got for free or heavily discounted.

FREE
Mirrors Edge PS3 - It just crashed as I was writing this post.
Need For Speed: Most Wanted PSV - I'm really bad at racing games, so this should be interesting.
Plants Versus Zombies: Garden Warfare PS4 - I don't have a PS4… yet.

Heavily Discounted
Gravity Rush - I've played and completed it with PS+ before, but now is my chance to own it!
Child of Light - This is the first time I've ever played a turn-based RPG… hell it's pretty much the first time I've played an RPG full-stop.


I'm pretty happy with all of these. Mirrors Edge is good fun, NFS is… extremely difficult, and CoL is certainly a learning experience.

Ah, yeah. I hurt about Mirror's Edge being free. When you've played it, tell me what you thought about it. I've been thinking about getting it.

I've been playing Aliens: Colonial Marines last weekend, and beat it. So much hate on this game, but I love it. After that I started playing Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris on PS4. Awesome arcade version of Tomb Raider. Definitly adding that one to my favorite Tomb Raider games!

Unfortunately, I doubt it's still free right now. You should have gotten in earlier. But I'd still try and have a look for it now, maybe it still is?

It is pretty alright. I hear it's super short, but a very interesting game nonetheless.

No matter, I want it retail anyway.

I wouldn't buy it retail, but my opinion will differ from yours. It is short, unique and flows pretty well. It also has a nice art-style.

It is kinda funny, that I feel it suits being digital, because it just doesn't seem worthy of being on a disc considering the content I hear it has… then again, it's probably a fair bit bigger than the two R&C games that were on discs.


Although I can't say for sure it is really short, because these are just things I've heard from people who play the game fast, which is how it is meant to be played anyway

EDIT: I am not very far through the game myself, when it froze I turned it off, and off it shall remain… because I'm too busy doing other things.

I just played through Mirror's Edge, can someone explain to me why the game is so liked? Because I wasn't blown away or impressed by anything. I guess the parkor was fun and the environments were pretty but the level/game design took away from all the good parts of the game, such as extremely linear gameplay that doesn't leave much up to the player on how to traverse the levels, everything about fighting enemies is bad (detection system, gunplay, invincible enemies etc.), the best looking areas usually involve a chase scene so the player can't look around at the scenery that obviously had effort put into it, useless chapters that could've been scrapped altogether and nothing plot-wise would've changed and to top it off: a rushed/sequel-bait ending.

I hope Mirror's Edge 2 does away with my problems with this first game but like I said, I want to know what makes people like this game so much.
