Postby Gunny04 » Tue Jun 28, 2005 7:36 pm

I am really bloody bored, 40+ hours on Star wars knights of the old repbulic 2 the sith lords, and I love the game, now I need something else to play once i finish, any RPG games or anything you guys suggest? can be first person shooter etc, anything.... I've played Doom3 Start to finish (one of the best games I have played) CFS3, FS2k4 CFS1, and CFS2 played them all. Just the thing is, I have a 64mb Nvidia MX440. Cheers thanks for any help! Gunny

Seems like you left Half Life 2 off the list.

Get that game and see why its one of the highest rated games ever.

BTW, your gfx card will support it at decent resolutions. Even though image quality will be toned down, the gfx are still really good, even in dx7 only.

I'm amazed you could stand Doom 3 with an MX440! , I struggled to get it to run with my FX5600, a card 4 times the price of the MX440 when I bought it!

CFS2 was great with my MX, aah, happy days.

I could'nt get CFS3 to behave itself until I finally got my 6800LE, now its happy! - 2 graphics upgrades for one simulator, dedication or stupidity, I'm not sure which!  ;D

lol.... Yea Doom 3 was great on card.... Missed a lot of graphical Stuff I imagine, but jumping zombies with a little lag meant I had to think ahead, if you shoot before its there your kinda alright, just that ammo situation that got me.... Thanks for HL2 tip will get it ASAP... Any other games? Cheers, Gunny

Call of Duty is also good. (Its like Medal of Honor, but on steriods). Your card can handle that fine as its engine is based on the quake 3 engine.

Half-Life 2, without a doubt.  After that game, Doom 3 really kind of looked lame.

If you really want something different, look up an older game called Panzer General II.  :)

I need to tell you something, half life 2, yes, its one of the best games ever made... but, there is a game out there that is one of the best games and it didnt really "takeoff" its called operation flashpoint. Its one of the funnest games out there and its prettty old, so its gonna be a walk in the park for your graphics card, but yeah, get that game, you probably wont be able to even play half life with that video card (the minimun requierments were written by a drunk person)

No, I foud it rather annoying to pick things up first and then push them towards enemies.
But the gravgun had a nice purpose in combination with razor blades in "We don't go to Ravenholm", which was one of the best levels of the whole game. Spine-chilling and stuff...
