Computer Games 4 Computers, makes sense

Spira · May 23rd, 2002

Don't any of you people talk about Max Payne?
Its a game which SHOULD be talked about
Instead of Emulators we should test our computers to the max using pc cd rom designed games

wot u say?

Hanamichi · May 23rd, 2002

Max Payne gets boring after a while...
You just repeat the same moves to advance in levels. It was fun for the first few hours playing it though.

Cardinal808 · May 23rd, 2002

max Payne? hmmm wrong forum. i guess. try somewhere else.

and if we discuss max payne. why don't we open a forum about Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

again wrong forum.

Where else is it supposed to be in then ?

Syed Fawad · May 23rd, 2002

Max payne is a good game but it ain't that good to have its own forum!

BTW nothing can match the fun of emulating a system. And I said emulating, playing a game on an emulator is another fun.

now this here is a gamer! TTD! Man i gotta go and find my old cd's...

max payne has some plot, nice graphics..but it's too short...

good game when all things considered...:eek:

G-Pitts · May 23rd, 2002

Yeah, TTD is a great classic game

With the new released patch, we can play it in WinXP.

BTW, May Payne is a great game indeed, I love that game.

LordDante · May 23rd, 2002

when were talkin about great games...
here's some

X-COM
Master of Orion

hehe.... flashbacks

Lavos · May 23rd, 2002

Max payne is an excellent game but it was a bit too short.
But GREAT Graphics. I also liked the story. The ending woz a bit of a sudden twist that didnt suite the game i think.

Anyway I hear of a Max Payne 2....

... It is emuforums. We do occasionaly talk about PC games, but normally only for a little while after they come out.
About Max Payne: I agree with Hanamichi; it get's boring.

Why use PC games to judge your PC? After all, PC games were written for the PC weren't they? So they should run on it shouldn't they, unless the game has certain requirements and your system does not happen to meet them. To me, the real test of a PC has become how well it can run something that it was never designed to, like PSX, SNES, Genesis, etc. As far as I am concerned, this is what really seperates the "men from the boys" as they say.
Cardinal808, what in the world are you talking about?:confused: As Evil Squall said, this is the Games Discussion Forum and all types of games may be talked about and dscussed freely here. That is what this froum is for, Games Discussion.

LordDante · May 23rd, 2002

maybe we should take this discussion elswhere...
here's something of mine

did you notice some of the games made for the psx and then transformed for the pc--same case with ps2 and pc

let's use mgs , cos i think most of you played it and seen it on a pc

now, i first played it on a regular TRUE grey box..nice
then it came on my pc...i had some troubles with the pixelated icons but hey
then i used epsxe..put everything out to max and i still think the emulated version looks better! your opinions please

since i said about ps2..take a look at red faction for instance

the games are probably alike on both systems...the length and the playability.since i didn't see the game on an actual ps2 i cant say how good/bad it is...

so now we know it's possible to make a ps2 game come to life as a pc game
and the question is....

WHY ARE THEY WAITING WITH MGS2 AND FF10:shout: :shout:

Cless · May 23rd, 2002

MGS: soldius IIRC is coiming to the pc and has version of MSG2 in it and well FFX would be waste of cd.

I have to disagree on this point. After all you wouldn't run 3DMark to test a computer designed for running databases. I think the ultimate test of a PC's power is running a cutting-edge PC game. They're chock-full of multi-media and throw thousands of vertices and textures around every second, stressing not only the CPU but the memory and graphics card as well. Programs like 3DMark and Aquamark exist to stress the computer to its limits, to test its full power. Running an emulator cannot put enough stress on the computer (especially in the graphics department) to truly stress it, nor can it take full advantage of the PC's features to adaquately measure its power. This final point is especially true for processors like the Pentium 4, which run extremely slow compared to its predecessor but show its true power when using SSE2-optimized software.

Getting back to the topic, Max Payne is a good game but gets boring really fast. I didn't really like the third-person POV and the way the bullets were so slow (except for the sniper gun which was instantaneous). A game like SOF had more of an impact on me. Speaking of which, I think SOF II was just recently released. I'll be picking that up really soon

Never played Mater of Orion(1), but Master of Orion II rocks! I've probably logged more hours in that game than any other, save for Escape Velocity...

LordDante · May 24th, 2002

well since it is ugly, pixelated you probably won't play it anyway...
i also played moo2..its the only game i played for weeeeeeks with my friend...

perfect. cant wait for part 3

REi_FoX · May 24th, 2002

well since were talking about games so anyone who can tell me a good RPG noe in the PC???

well i played diablo 2 its really good i need to play another game thats enjoyable so anyone who can tell me...

Ninjaa · May 24th, 2002

I hear Fallout is quite good.

But about Master of Orion, that was actually the first real PC game that I played. It was on my good old 386. It was a wonder that I got it running on that computer.

LordDante · May 24th, 2002

yes..i still play it some times...but i prefer moo2!
since you played diablo 2...did you try darkstone? same thing but in 3d... i like it!
