Lets Play a Game
April 7, 2014 at 9:39 am


I was thinking seems there are quite a few gamers around here. We should try getting some of us together to play something.

So I figure the requirements should be this:
  • On PC seems most of us have one. Plus we can all get the game on steam cheap.
  • The game should be PVE so skill gaps don't ruin our fun and lag from being in different continents not too big a problem.
  • It shouldn't be too high spec so more people can actually play.
  • Something lighthearted where if we all die 20 times its funny not irritating. Plus it means people who don't game regularly aren't put off playing socially.

I'm not sure if anyone has any other requirements. I'm not fussed if people have mic's or not but I was thinking we should use Skype to chat. Hopefully the game has some kind of chat in it for those without mic's.

Games I have already that I think could work are:
Left 4 Dead
Left 4 Dead 2
Magicka
Space Engineers
Terraria
Garry's Mod
Borderlands 2
Minecraft

I also have a bunch of Strategy Games you could all kick my ass at. Free to Play MMO's could be a laugh too.

So I hope a few people are interested in giving this a go, then all we have to figure out is a preferred game and what time we play at. Perhaps we could have an agreement on saving any debates for the forums just to keep things running smoothly.

Well, count me out. My blood's not rich enough to own a gaming rig.

If anyone wants to play on PS4, however, I am more than willing.

Thats a shame. Would be awesome if we had a few people playing together on each platform Big Grin

I've bought garry's mod on steam but never played it, I'm up for this provided we play something my laptop can actually run. Although I'm confident it will run everything except for the really high end AAA titles.

Its a crazy game, there are a ton of mods you can play on it. I'm not certain on how the multiplayer works but it can't be tough to figure out. Stuff like Prop hunt, trouble in terrorist town and murder would probably suit a small group of us well.

Ahem, I mean, Borderlands 2 sounds like an excellent choice! Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Would be an easy one to have people drop in and out of. The system requirements aren't too bad either.

Do you think you could run it Napo?http://store.steampowered.com/app/49520/

Downside is that you would have to shell out the £20 to get it too.

One that is free, and somehow similar is Loadout.

Nah I just checked my graphics card can't handle it. I can run star wars the old republic, sims 3 and shogun 2 but that's about the best I can go.

What are your laptops specs? I'll try find something to match them.

Loadout certainly seems to have lower system requirements.
