Yeah that's the one! it definitively had canals in a city, now i want to know the name of that game.
I also played another one when you ride a futuristic motorcycle, it had a Star Fox like graphics, a lot of big polygons, most of them purple, it was not really a racing game, it was more of a first person plataformer, you "race" toward the end but you are only racing against time.

Yeah it is a lot like NFS Underground, but this one was 1st i think (feeling like a hipster now).

Doomroar 2014-04-05 06:07:03

Damn i really want to remember that game, i get these fussy memories i can't really place about it.
No it is not Riptide GP, the graphics are waaay too advanced, and is not first person. In that game i am telling you, you ride some kind of motorcycle ship inside a cave, purple and red are the most abundant colors, the graphics are Star Fox level not Star Fox 64, somewhere in between those 2, and there are no opponents, the plataformer part comes from you having to time out jumps and change routes.

EA has been fucking over way too much lately, just like Microsoft with that X-bone of theirs.

Doomroar 2014-04-05 20:45:30

Found it! it was called Jet Moto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_Moto here's a vid, it was also for PS1 i didn't know that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMn6HIIT-lE and the commentator is hilarious.
Aaan found it, man i love wikipedia, this is the other one S.T.U.N. Runner, i found various videos on YT, but is not the same is you don't see the chair thingy when you seat to play it, i spend so much time playing that, pizza was just an excuse to visit that arcade.

Titanfall, and... what else? Microsoft is pretty much empty so far.

Doomroar 2014-04-06 13:18:50

Haha yeah Jet Moto is an old game man, i played it when i was really young, i think it was some time after i discovered Prince of Persia, yeah that is a game from the 90's, memories man.
Now i am curious to know which game you are talking about.

This one: http://reverttosaved.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/20090408-stun-runner-1.gif
I played that one in arcades like it was supposed to be XD, ah man my pocket money away on that shit.

You know your company isn't doing so hot when you have to bring Chess Titans and Minesweeper into the table XD.

Doomroar 2014-04-06 22:14:36

You have to see this XD

Doomroar 2014-04-07 04:01:29

Oh Prince of Persia was so much fun, the guy that mirrors your movements and the incredible obese one were so damn hard to beat!
Man i can't remember Moto GP, i remember one motorcycle game for PS1 but it was not really that good, it had bad controls and you keep getting out of track or crashing into walls, turning was a nightmare.

Arcades could do some really wild and interesting stuff with nowadays technology, but i have become such a lazy bastard i don't see myself actually going XD.

Haha who knows who had the idea first but, the thing with Chess Titans, Minesweeper and solitaire, is that they are already there with Windows you like it or not, so every chump has it, is like hardly even worth mentioning, and since they have been there for a long time, you can't really say that they bring something new to the table, or that they are a selling point or saving point for the company, i don't see anyone buying a PC with Windows 8 or an X-bone just to play chess XD.

Doomroar 2014-04-07 15:18:21

Na is not that one, most of the time you spend it stuck on a wall or crawling to your bike after falling from it.

That would be interesting, but i wonder how much i would be really using, with how much games are advancing nowadays.

Apple's computers? haha yeah sure... may as well go full Linux and learn codding, can't play Dota on a damn Apple computer!

Doomroar 2014-04-07 18:25:21

That's some list, and now i realize, that what i played was really shitty, so crappy indeed that it is not there XD.
Yeah is not a complete list, but making comparison with what is there, i don't feel like remembering that game haha, i am getting ashamed of having played it lol.

You fanatic!

Well with Valve going to release their own free OS based on Linux, i we can again say that apple is out of the race, and even right now Linux has plenty of games for it mostly indie but what it has is damn good.

Doomroar 2014-04-08 05:10:51

The more i remember that game, the more i regret playing it haha.

Ah fantabulous obsession.

Practically the same games, i can play Hawken, Dota2, apparently there is even a version for FTL but i would have to find a way to pass my save, so the answer is, yes and no, yes in the aspect that i can play the same games in both systems, except for Dishonored, and no in the aspect that since i installed them and played them 1st on Windows i would need to pass the save files and that is too much of a hassle, however Hawken and Dota2 are things that have the progress tied to my account, so it doesn't matter where i play them, and those are the only things i am playing now (and Dishonored... one day, one day for sure i will finish the DLC).

Doomroar 2014-04-08 20:50:19

It came with the system along with other 2 games... not much variety.

You junkie!

Well both Dota2 and Hawken are free, you only pay for cosmetics, and oh man those cosmetics at least in Dota are so goddamn awesome! *uhum* and the compendium that is like a in game book to track professional teams, make bets, and create fantasy teams and leagues. I myself haven't spend money on either so i have missed some things, some swell looking things.
As for saves since both are tied to my Steam account and Valve is really serious about this, i havent' encounter any problems, neither heard of any problems, even when servers crash i get to keep the data of my match, they have figured that shit out.

Doomroar 2014-04-09 15:06:38

Haha, i was already preparing a come back.

I really don't know, i know that a lot of data is saved locally, but i haven't searched if it can be exported, most of the data you get from Dota is not really that significant, is mostly sadistic:

How many games you have played, win rate, your best heroes, your worst heroes, User lvl (this one allows you to enter higher ranked game modes with better players, so i think it should be hard to access because people will try to mess with it), and that data can be moved around and uploaded to different sites so you can brag, i guess there must be a way to save it locally, no idea if you can modify it, and if you can i guess it has to be checked with the registry on Valve when they have the logs of all the matches, other than that, the game can be perfectly played without the steam servers, of course it wont register your data if you play lan games, so is like the matches didn't happen.

As for Hawken i have no idea at all.

Doomroar 2014-04-10 00:05:01

Wow man so now you are scraping cans to maintain your addiction? XD.

Oh man what a typo that is the Google spell-checker for you haha.

Is mostly 3rd party sites that sync with your Steam Account and get the data, so they don't really go to your PC, but to the server when they search for the data, however i guess just like they can take it and put it on their pages, it must be possible for you to save it on your PC, probably.

Doomroar 2014-04-10 21:11:28

So i can open it for a later time? sure :D

With his ill mind?

Haha neither Dota nor Hawken are listed XD.

Doomroar 2014-04-12 22:17:00

Maybe if you get a can opener you will get some canned responses.

Well it is not secret where all the files of those games are saved, but player specific data, is not really all that important, and chances are that items are shoveled together in the player inventory together with TF2 items and the like.

Doomroar 2014-04-15 08:28:00

Then you better use it or keep it in a fresh place away from dust and light!

Krizz Kaliko reference?

Doomroar 2014-04-15 17:40:47

No, no, i am against monarchies, so no principalities here.

Aha!

Doomroar 2014-04-16 05:32:28

Is all about policies.

Yeah.

Doomroar 2014-04-16 18:00:00

Someone has to fill them.

Uhum.

Doomroar 2014-04-17 08:46:51

We will never catch up with the main story!

Go cowboy!

Doomroar 2014-04-17 09:08:28

Actually we are dangerously close, we better enter some fillers, out of necessity.

I am against animal cruelty, unless we also get some dead humans, in which case it is ok (i need to see a realistic sense of danger).
