Title: Playing games that aren't W:A!?
Post by: Sensei on December 04, 2023, 06:57 PM
Just curious if anyone is doing any other online games? Maybe we could organize some games/tournaments if enough people? We did this in the past couple of times..
But some ideas were never brought to life.. For example Pokerstars tournament on private table.. That could be great. Friendly buyin, 5$ max.. Lot of ppl wanted to play, but their country doesn't allow Pokerstars.. Others just couldn't agree on time so it got forgotten.

My list would be:

ShootersPool - already managed to get some W:A players to buy this.. Cueshark, Hollow, SiD... Pretty cool and most realistic billiards simulation out there. Lot of variety, 8ball, 9ball, 10ball, Snooker, Carom, Blackball... etc. A must have for any Billiard fan out there.. I'm always up for a few.. Even 2v2 matches.

Counter Strike 2 - highest rank achieved was, i think, master guardian elite.. But most time spent in gold nova 4.

Rocket League - highest rank achieved was Champ 2.. Now diamond probably.

PUBG - around 130 hrs spent in game, few years ago.. Would love to do some duos, squads in this game.

Trackmania Nations Forever - free on steam, old game.. Thousands of maps.. Good stuff. Lemme know if anyone is willing to do some time trials.

Strategy or RTS for me for the most part, if I'm not playing on xbox

XCOM series

Starcraft 2

AOE 2 & 4

Did Starfield for awhile

Whatever newish squad based co-op PvE shooters there is - L4D style, typically

But mostly hunting xbox live achievements, I'm a completionist:

The full list of 100% games

So mostly wasting my time on worms cups or hunting meaningless achievement points!

That's an impressive list, Walrus. Didn't know you're that much of a gamer. Wp!

Some nice games on that list James, a few of my favourites for solo play! I especially enjoyed Dead Rising games.

@Sensei - I also reached Champ 2, Div 2.

Though that's when I discovered myself getting more and more frustrated being paired with randoms. From that point on, I feel like you need to be part of a stable and consistent team to reach higher ranks or at least, enjoy it more. Not saying other people suck, but nobody is psychic, and people clash a lot because they just aren't used to playing together and not everyone can adapt fast enough.

Anyway, won a bunch of Tournaments at Champ level, the last time I played Tournaments properly though was S9:

I've been playing again a lot in the past few weeks and got my flow back. Though haven't played with my main account since Season 9 there so it's probably back down to Diamond 3.

Anyway, other games, if we're talking multiplayer/co-op these are the ones I've enjoyed most over the past 5 or so years:

Rocket League
World of Warcraft
Warthunder
Borderlands 2 / Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel / Borderlands 3
Riders Republic
Monster Hunter: World
Sea of Thieves(Haven't actually played yet, but installed recently, was dating a girl and played at her house, but no longer dating her so didn't play with anyone online yet)
theHunter: Call of the Wild
Sons of the Forest
DayZ
The Golf Club 2019 Featuring PGA TOUR
TrackMania Nations Forever
Forza Horizon 5
Descenders
Grounded
Insurgency: Sandstorm
Planet Coaster
Steep
Wreckfest

Counterstrike since 1.5 through CSGO and a little bit of CS2

Played about 2,500 hours of pubg, don't play anymore. Had fun but not that into it anymore.

Played Rocket League a bit with Kradie and Komito.

L4D2- sometimes play

Nevada Online Poker 1/2 cent big blind or 5/10 cent blinds

Did we play?? I thought you were trying to install it while we were streaming WA with M3ntal? Then I started streaming it but it didn't download for you...

I was only a LITTLE bit drunk, sure I'd remember that!

I'm absolutely down to get a serious WA team down for RL 3s, Champ or above rank, I'd ideally like to reach Grand Champ but don't have the patience to grind the game that long myself with so many teams running over each other.

Rocket league is cool.. I love when there's a chemistry in 2v2/3v3's but don't wanna be too serious about it. If you guys want some laid back competitive matches going, I'm up for it. Mindlessly chasing ranks there is just not that appealing. For me at least.

Didn't know you and st.jimmy also played counter, kory.. Would be cool to gather wormers and organise 5v5 game. Pretty sure game allows hosting private matches!? At least Cs:Go did

Well, chasing the rank isn't to actually have the rank alone...

With higher ranks, you get put up against better players, and I'm at that stage where I like to be up against MUCH better players so I can learn from them and get better experience. I find more fun in the challenge and improvement.

Generally speaking, I'm very competitive... With Rocket League it's kinda chill, as in, I only play for a few hours here and there, not 8+ hours a day like I used to play video games.

I like a cross between casual chill vibe, like friendly, having a laugh, maybe even few drinks/smokes, talking smack... Though absolutely with the intention of playing our best, working as a team, and destroying other teams and trying to win.

I cannot stand being in a team that deliberately throws matches or doesn't actually try, it's pointless to me.


Edit - Also, I've never actually tried CS:GO, could try it though if a team of you are down to play.

Sometime I play CS2, Rocket League, L4d2, and GTA V. I only play for fun and I am very laid back.

There is only 1 game worth to play instead worms and it is WITCHER 3, all other games are just waste of time. Or maybe I remember there was metal gear and ultimate stuntman, and big nose saga on pegasus. was good too

Hi,sorry for the disguise: I verify some guide and something is wrong (Ctrl v ctrl c) and the other (ctrl v ctrl o) correct. Can you verify that in the attachment mode? Thanks for the solution.
Title: Re: Playing games that aren't W:A!?
Post by: melbo on December 05, 2023, 11:41 AM
Try that:
Open the game,close the game WA directory and discuss. All resolved now. Fix problems.

After close the window,remap worms (remak) and close the directory.
There are two simple passages to overwiew worms armageddon ,thanks. Sorry again for the disguise.

Now I explain a lot better : (Ctrl v ctrl c +esc) and ( Ctrl v ctrl esc +f).I have finished all,thanks.

I remember that these are two kind of different types.

Meh...

The game looks great visually, and by the sounds of it so much more to do, but I seriously hope there's an option to play as male leads only because I absolutely DO NOT want to play as female characters in video games.

I'm a guy so want to play as a guy, because I relate to guys not females.

If playing as that female character is mandatory, then guess I won't be playing it.

There are some games I would not enjoy the game if the main protagonist was not female. Such as Syberia series and The Longest Journey.

And wow, there is a few players who still play L4D2. Lets play some day dawgs.

Oh wow hehehe. That surprises me to hear you say that. I thought you were an SJW and super woke Komodo. I thought that you would relish in female empowerment  8) To hear such statement is not very PC at all :)

This next Installment of GTA VI is likely to be less edgier than its predecessors. It is also the first to Include a female protagonist. I will remain cautiously optimistic but the graphics are really nice though. But I will say this: Rockstar rolled out an update some years back and it removed a line from a random pedestrian ''You look tranny''.

For me, it doesn't matter who the protagonist is, as longest it tells a good story without being preachy I'm good.

There are some exceptions, such as choosing Chun Li in Street Fighter...

I don't mind female characters in games where there is no story, no immersion.

It's why I've always disliked games like Tomb Raider, Alien Isolation, Horizon Zero Dawn... Also why I don't really enjoy Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel because the only Sniper is an annoying posh sounding female(imo).

I've not said anything controversial though.

It's normal and common enough for a person to relate to their own sex/gender when it comes to storytelling and roleplaying.

It's actually weird AF to me that there are so many weirdo guys who obsess over female characters in a perverted way. Especially playing with or making mods for skimpy clothing, it's psychotic & disgusting in my opinion.

It's the same with TV/Film actually, they sexualize everything, they objectify everything and everybody has got to be hot... Look at the pathetic Fallout TV series they are making, have you seen the teaser pics? Even the male GHOUL looks as hot as possible FFS! A f**king ghoul!!!

It's frustrating af because the quality of character development and storytelling is deteriorating since the 80s/90s... Especially with the cash cows and money grabs to just rehash series and films that have been done to death already! Yes, I know, EVERYTHING IS A REMIX! Though they take it to a very unsatisfying level these days...

They don't make amazing female leads like Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor or even The Bride from Kill Bill anymore, they all suck, even male leads are getting ridiculous... Timothee Chalamet as Willy Wonka??? F off with a capital F!!!

They are too "lazy" and "cool" to even name it properly... It's just "Wonka" now... They ARE a bunch of Willys...

Though, key point I made, is not taking away from female empowerment, but giving us the CHOICE... Of course that would cost more money to make though...

You never know, maybe, just MAYBE, you can completely ignore the female character and play through as the guy.

/endrant


Anyway, sorry, derailing this nice thread with my aggressive anger at the shocking state of todays storytelling...

SO Rocket League, CS:GO, yeah!

Besides WA (that i got back just recently), im only playing CS2 (before CS:GO, Global Elite btw), Trackmania and Forza Horizon 5

Post by: Lupastic on December 15, 2023, 06:47 PM
this ^^ I have invited 5 players so far in the past few months from WA community to this WoW server, 2 of them are still playing up until this day :)
Right now 1500 players are online, on a whole day around 8-10.000 usually online. For cracked server you don't need to pay monthly like for original WoW, and mists of pandaria expansion was a golden age of the pvp era of WoW. I also considered paying for original WoW but the latest expansions of WoW were considered terrible worldwide.

if anyone wants to come and play let me know, I'll help in levelling + questing your character with VC, both PvP and PvE is very alive on here! eversince the time I started playing WA, I have met a few pro players and I'm pretty sure they would enjoy playing and I wonder what char class you'd play : ]
