New Laptop, game recommendations?

they shipped my lappie today!!!!! its gonna be here in a few days (4-5). so i wanted to buy some 'REAL' games and wanted some advice.

do any of you reccommend any game to me thats good?

personally i like Action FPS shooters......


come on recommend me a game !!!! im not a super gamer, but i would like to take advantage of the Go6600!!!

i cant wait for my lappie to get here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

HalfLife 2
F.E.A.R
Battlefield 2

Even though you seem to like FPS's the most, l'd recommend Oblivion over all of these games (Besides HL2 ).

 

thanks, but i already have HL2, any else ????? (dont recommend DOOMIII, i hate that boring game!)

 

Halo
Shogo: MAD (old, but good)

 

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and Americas Army are two great first person shooters. And both of them are free

 

Where can i get wolfenstein from?????

 

Pick up Unreal Tournament 2004. It's a little old, but it's tremendous fun, plus it can make use of the widescreen resolutions. Plus on a KN1, you can run it with 2x AA and 8x AF without any lag except on the truly massive maps.

 

I'd recommend getting Far Cry. That's one of the best first person shooters you can get . . even though it's somewhat dated, it still looks fantastic and offers A+ gameplay. The environments vary and are incredibly realistic, the A.I. is excellent, even compared to newer game engines, and of course the weaponry rocks.

UT2004 . . I still play that. Great game - A.I. is great at the run and gun warfare. Online is a blast.

guys...i only have about $100 to spend.....so lets see,
FarCry: $19.99 at circuitcity
UT2004: $29.99 at circuitcity
BattleField 2: $49.99 at circuitcity
Oblivion: $49.99 at circuitcity
so thats: $150+tax total. hmmmm.....thats a little too much...

which game do you guys think that i should take out to balance it to $100?

 

If FPS is what you want, Oblivion should go since it is an RPG. But I think Oblivion is highly regarded by many right now, so if you have any interest in RPGs you should keep that.

Of the rest, I only played BattleField 2, and that's fun at least

 

First I would definitely get F.E.A.R. one of the best fps that's come out last couple of years. Great graphic and great story if u take the time to read/listen to the messages on the laptops and telephones (u get my point when u buy the game).
Secondly, get BF2, theres a game that never gets boring. Nothing like battling it out with 64 other guys and girls across the world. Here u get a great fps where teamwork is important. Sure u can go round and play one man army, but the fun lies in creating teams and have a common goal.

 

1st Half Life 2
2nd Oblivion (you must have this)
3rd BF2...
4th Americas Army
5th FEAR

Can you please edit the title... I think it is a little bit too shouty..is that good english?

I've played all of them... Oblivion gets really boring if you aren't into RPGs. It's good for the pretty factor and not much else.

 

what are RPG's anyway??? 3rd person???

 

Most Role-playing games are 3rd person views...at least for the most part. Although you can switch to first person view.

 

Oblivion is really cool for a day but then gets boring...Im not really a RPG person

World of Warcraft perhaps? - I never played it though :/

 

dose anyone know where i can get FEAR demo from??? i wnat to test it out...oh and BF2 and HL2 too if possible

 

FEAR is the way to go deedeeman

 

it seems like everyone is reccommending FEAR....

hey dello, how dose FEAR run on the GO7400? i know the 6600 is more better than it...but how do u experience it???


by the way.........who changed the post title?????

 

I thought you said you have HL2? hmmm....

The BF2 demo is on the official site.

 

sorry i meant HL1 (the original Half Life with those wierd head thingies )

 

You can download Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory at download.com but then you have to download a seperate patch (like 5 MB) to make the game work. You cannot get the patch from download.com, but just go to google and type in enemy territory patch and you should be able to find it.

 

If u don't have HL2, then get that one as well + F.E.A.R. + BF2. I'm assuming that you were mainly into FPS and not RPG's.
If you're into horror movies, then FEAR will be right up your alley As I said before, great story and room for much debate when you've finished it Lots of forums out there who is debating what the hell happened

 

if you're oldie like me , then go with Star wars KoTor..its a pretty good game as well....I think its only around USD$ 19.99 , worth the price...Pretty good game as well to play on your lappie

 

how good will my configuration play FEAR???

 

Lower-Medium settings fine, medium-high settings moderately well.

 

F.E.A.R.
Farcry
HL
CS1.6
HL2
CS:S
WoW
FFXI
GW
D2X

those will all run with playable frame rates at decent settings.

pb,out.

 

thanks guys ... you all are GREAT HELP!!!

my lappie arrives tomorrow! I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!!!!!! I'm pacing around in my room of excitement!

 

Don't forget to <strike>bring a towel</strike> write a review of your KN1! Only if you feel like it, of course, but I think a second opinion of the system would help to inform buyers better. Hope you have fun with your new system!

 

a towel? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how about diapers? LOL

 

Hey Flanken........... what are the core and memory clocks on you Go 6600?

and


as for my lappie.........it will arrive on saturday................they missed me today

 

Got My Lappie Today!

 

My GPU clock is 375MHz, with the memory at 600. What's yours? Is it higher now, as your 3dmark05 score is pretty impressive.

Oh, and if you're curious, the GPU doesn't seem to be bothered by overclocking at all (but don't tell ISTNC!). I got a 3dmark05 score of 3100 on an overclock, and the cooling system wasn't bothered one bit by the higher speed. Still, I run on normal clocks for all gaming, as it's more than adequate for all my uses.

 

my clocks are the same. yet i love my new quanta. i never knew that i would love this computer so much. and i love it even more because of ISTNC!
