I started playing Half-Life (the first one) some time ago, didn't get too far , but the game is not bad.
I want to see why this game is so acclaimed, so i hope it gets better.

Not yet, i got it on on hiatus or on "the waiting list" . I only played a couple of hours, if i remember correctly the last thing i did was getting the shotgun, so i guess i have a lot to do.

It's acclaimed because it was the first of it's kind. Or at least one of the first. In-game cut scenes, a fairly in depth story line, big scripted Hollywood style action set pieces and etc. Every FPS since then has taken it's que from this game in more ways than one. I'm not surprised that you're underwhelmed if you played any modern shooters, a lot of the innovations of Half-Life seem quaint now.

Cod 2, aka the only cod who I give a crap

I can't play too many FPS I always felt a little dizzy when I play them, the same happened to me with the 3DS and mirror's edge lol

LouisCipher · August 04, 2011, 08:39:07 PM

Mirrors Edge was the first and only game to make me severely motion sick. And I've been playing FPS since I was about 8.

JoeJustice · August 05, 2011, 01:11:29 AM

Did anyone ever read the Quake manual's little spiel about motion sickness? Funny thing is the solutions they list kinda work.

sibarraz · August 05, 2011, 06:33:25 AM

Which are those solutions?

JoeJustice · August 07, 2011, 07:47:08 PM

I love the explanation, let me quote it for you:

(It's in the Q and A section)
'

QuoteQ: How do I prevent motion sickness when watching Quake?

A: If you're one of the unlucky sufferers from motion sickness in Quake, we're sorry to say the answer seems to differ from person to person. Try sitting closer to the screen, or further away. Dim the lights in your room, or turn them on high. Adjust screen brightness up or down. Take a break from Quake and rest your eyes every hour or so. One or more of these tricks, in combination, ought to work."quoted from the Quake Manual

What worked for me was turning the game's brightness up and dimming the lights in my room.

I've been playing UT99 since way back in the day, and Quake III. As of now I've been playing Quake since its out on XBLA, but not too many people stay on it for me to battle. I also hit up classic Duke Nukem and Perfect Dark.

Speaking of which, who here plays Quake on XBL???

new trailer for CS:GO is out

Counter-Strike Global Offensive - First Gameplay-Trailer

ps3 will have cross gameplay with the pc (and for those of you who have never played a CS game before trust me your gonna get you shit kicked in especially on a console)

and i believe xbox wont have cross gameplay with either

LouisCipher · August 27, 2011, 04:17:05 AM

Cross-Platform Play? That is going to end badly. People playing an FPS on a controller are automatically at a huge disadvantage compared to Mouse/Keyboard. There's just a huge leap in skill level. If Sony offered players the option of using a USB plug in Keyboard/Mouse it would be a different story.

Delta · August 27, 2011, 05:31:12 AM

PS3 users can use a Keyboard/Mouse option, also they can use the PS Move.

Well I stand corrected. I didn't hear many good things about the Move in relation to FPS though.
