What Game Have You Bought.

[Pinback]

Picked up the classic GTA 3, Vice City, Vice City Stories and GTA 4 (PS2 versions) for very little off fleabay. These games are still a riot and awesome music too. Especially Vice City! :girlcrazy: Nice :good: keep an eye out for Liberty city stories for the full set of GTA games on the PS2 and that reminds me I must get a copy of GTA 4 for the 360.

Liberty City Stories? Didn't know about that one, just snagged a copy :girlcrazy: GTA PS2 collection *almost* complete now.

Speaking of GTA I picked the strategy guide for GTA 5 for a fiver in the "Works" shop at the weekend. :biggrin:

Got Factorio a few days ago and its a pretty fun little game. Currently a very playable alpha.

Warhammer 40K : Armageddon. It's just out, it's basically a reskin of Panzer Corps (which is itself an updated version of panzer general). It's a bit costly for what it is, but ... it's... WH40K. (dreaming of a world where game workshop and matrix/slitherine wouldn't be such greedy pricks)

Four Amiga games. :biggrin: Cadaver.Special Forces.The Newzealand Story.Flimbo quest.

Added GTA 1, GTA London 1969 and GTA2 to the Playstation collection, all complete with maps! All run perfectly on PS2 :girlcrazy: Going for the full collection?, I never played the London one.

[SerialKicked]

Going for the full collection?, I never played the London one. With this game i learnt I should never drive in England :biggrin:

[Geraldine]

There is also GTA[/url] 1961 although that is only available for the PC as a free download from Rockstar's own site.

Realm of the Mad God. Great game totally ruined by pay-to-win. Edit: I have discovered that you can unlock everything without spending money, you just spend your whole life grinding for it while everyone else just spends money :suicide: Unturned. DayZ meets Minecraft. If only I could figure out how to actually get into a server... Dark Souls 2. This may take some time... Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons. Can't play it cos it doesn't recognise my controller.

Just bought all the Walking Dead games and DLC, I have been hearing great things and I am a huge fan of the series so I thought I would play them the trailers look great.

[IronHound]

Been on a serious 4x kick as of late. Picked up Fallen Enchantress Legendary Heroes, all the DLC but the latest. Age of Wonders III Golden Realms, and lastly Armada 2526.All are outstanding!Hoping Frontier grants me a refund on Elite Dangerous so I can buy Starpoint Gemini 2! (Dont have internet on my PC. Which makes an always online game pointless.)

After watching a bunch of TV documentaries on knights and castles over Christmas, I picked up Medieval 2: Total War cheap, and have been playing it obsessively for the last few days. It's great fun but, being rubbish at strategy games, I find it quite difficult even on the "easy" level! auryx

[Geraldine]

Hi auryxAh,.. the Total War series. :girlcrazy: I played the first Medieval game quite a bit and the second one too. So here is some quick tips: Use the landscape. Stick your archers on hills with heavy infantry in front to protect them. Even if your the attacking side try to goad the enemy into attacking you and, in so doing, draw them into a trap. Use the speed of your cavalry (hiding them out of sight while the enemy advances is good and hold them off until the time is right) to close the trap and hit em (wedge formation is good) in the back ranks with your heavy infantry chewing them up in a frontal attack and your archers maintaining a constant rate of fire, supply wagons help. I've beaten much larger and superior armies using this method. If your conducting a siege, make lots of holes in the defences with your Trebuchets so that your army avoids choke points. Hitting a stronghold from different directions is good for causing your enemy to rout but keep your assault force spread out to minimise the casualties from incoming fire. Only close ranks and increase the speed of your advance when near the breaches in the defences. Again, use you cavalry to draw off defenders while moving in your slower heavier units to do the real damage. The AI can be quite aggressive so use that against them. Hope that helps! :queen:

Hey Geraldine, thanks! That's great! Such invaluable info  I struggle with sieges, but that's probably because I've not bothered investing in catapult-making workshops yet, I clearly need to get some. Have also been ignoring heavy infantry units and spearmen - I should bulk out my armies with them a bit more! Now if only I could stop the French from declaring war on me.....bah  auryx

Admirable tactical stuff, Geraldine - in essence, applicable to many types of warfare too! In difficult terrain - press on!In encircled terrain - devise stratagems!In fatal terrain - fight!
