I think it'd be a good idea to list some of the good quality free games in this thread. Mainly for me, since I don't own any consoles and PSU is boring, nor do I have the money to spend on other games etc.

Post!

Me and Vanhalen play Shattered Galaxy. Think of it as Starcraft with an RPG-twist. It takes away the ability to build bases in favor of allowing you to customize your units greatly.

Some titles you have to wait for...some you don't.

S4 League

Imagine all the potential GUNZ had put into one neat little package, and you get this game. No crazy style to learn, no overly abused glitches...Just straight up fun. I play Korean version currently.
Closed Beta this August

RF Online
Used to be P2P but just recently went F2P. It's a great little free MMO that provides some very intense PVP combat, but be warned! Computer specs, while not entirely in need of an upgrade will chug down when you get into huge battles like this! Unfortunately...or fortunately, this happens all the time!

Project Powder
Who thought a snowboarding MMO could actually be fun? Just tried the game tonight and I have to say I'm impressed. It's in closed beta, but if you simply make an account on the site, you can just join within seconds. Haven't played too much to know about it, but what I have played is good.

Drift City
The game that once took FKL by storm, Drift City is also an odd MMO idea, in which you drive a car around a free roam environment, taking on missions. You can also enter into some rather cool races, but balance is an issue. Other than that, the game is damn good fun.

I've really been wanting to try that out but haven't found the time. How is it?

TalHex
Jun 26, 2008, 11:02 PM
its pretty good for a free mmo, bosses are frustratingly tough and it takes awhile to lvl but its pretty good, the music is excellent, and the community is pretty friendly (unlike runescape's *shudders*) it even has a story mode in it XD

OKO
Jun 26, 2008, 11:03 PM
That's good to hear. Almost sounds like a cell shaded FFXI.

Those were some fun days....just really hard to level, D:

DO NOT PLAY S4 LEAGUE. Me and Tact tried it. Imagine Gunz if you got shot at from across the map. And got killed in one shot. Also imagine Gunz if there was an unbalanced array of weaponry thrown in with shittier platforming.

yeah its not very bad lvling till around lvl 15, then it takes an eternity, nice thing abot it is there are a lot of classes and weapons and your allowed to change class any time, you also get to have a secondary class. some of the buffs you can get in there though are incredible

Lmao, well I had fun with the game. Not hard to avoid those blasts, XD.

The Weaponry? Hmm....

See, I'm trying to see if that's true or not. I've had no problems so far. Oh well, it would've been cool to play with you guys, :D.

Perhaps we'll re-install Drift City sometime? That is if your not level kajillion at this point, Shligger.

The point isn't that I can't dodge it. It's the fact half the enemy team is sniping. The game just isn't that fun.

In the other thread in Off Topic...

I played the Torus Trooper game.

I had 20 joygasms.
In a row.

At the same time.

It would make Xtreme-g shit itself.

Such an awesome game, though simple, still addicting.(Boy that sounds familiar :wacko: )

FKL doesn't have a game currently. It's on and off PSOBB and that's about it. >_>

Hoo boy. No way.

Actiony shooter. 3rd person.

You know what, here, check it out yourself:

It gets annoying, because of the people taking advantage of the frame cancel in the game, and have the balls to call it legit. :disapprove:

Protip: Wanna piss off a K-Styler? Mow 'em down with an automatic; that's their weakness. Don't spray though, aim right at them, much more efficient.

Yeah, Mabinogi is damn cool. I remember playing the TW version with alot of people and had damn good fun...

Still, I say wait for S4 League.

and what the hell games did you join, Shligger? That barely happens in the pro rooms, D:

In fact, I'd have to say my complaint is those GOD DANGED GRENADE LAUNCHERS!

Nitro Vordex

Doesn't matter where you DL the client.

Things you should know, huh...

1)Go to player matches in Free Channel until hit about 10.
2)Quests ARE your friend. DO NO DO THE DUNGEON/CAVE ONE SOLO. Only do the mansion. If you do the Dungeon/Cave, by all means have a party, preferrably a full party.

Anything else, just ask me. Post when you get on, I'll join you. :)

Quick rundown of controls:

WASD movement, mouse aiming/firing, Left does gun/sword, right does special for blade weapons(sword/dagger).

Space is to type.

Chuck_Norris
Jun 27, 2008, 08:08 PM
Does it support controllers?

Nitro Vordex
Jun 27, 2008, 08:10 PM
As far as I know, no. Trust me, mouse and keyboard would be WAY better for this.

Does anyone wanna join us? :wacko:

WOMEN CANCEL FRAMES FASTER OLOLOLO

*ahem* No, not particularly. It might change what few reskins things you can equip. Mind you, the customization on characters(body face hair those kind of thigs) are pretty limited. As in like, maybe 5 hairstyles. >_>

Chuck_Norris
Jun 27, 2008, 09:29 PM
Yeah, I'm still here. But when I joined a game, I couldn't move. I was in a first person view and could only look around. What'd i do wrong? D:

Nitro Vordex
Jun 27, 2008, 09:33 PM
There's a first person view? o.o

Check your controls on the menu.

Since you were asking me about controllers earlier, make sure you don't have any plugged in. Ijji doesn't like controllers very much. >>

Chuck_Norris
Jun 27, 2008, 09:33 PM

No windowed mode. :(

Well, my computer decided it didn't want to render everything. T_T So, now I gotta screw with it a bit.

...*facepalm* Chuck, which server are you on?

Chuck_Norris
Jun 27, 2008, 10:08 PM
Well, I tried getting on Quest 1, but it was full. Can we pick an offical server that usually has a spot?

Chuck_Norris
Jun 27, 2008, 10:09 PM
Also, are the classes well balanced? If so, is the one with the dual machine guns and the katana any good?

Chuck_Norris
Jun 27, 2008, 10:21 PM
Well, anyway. I'll try my luck at playing with others. I'll be in either Quest 1 or Quest 2. I'll check this topic after I'm done. :wacko:

Nitro Vordex
Jun 27, 2008, 10:35 PM

There are no classes. This isn't an RPG. It's an action shooter.

Sorry Chuck, I'm having problems IRL right now, i'll join you if need be.

Also, post your name dude.

That's the sign telling you you're lagging dude. If you got something else running using a lot of you internet(eg. another game, Browser w/high resources etc.) close it.

Also, make sure your firewall isn't blocking GunZ. Same with antivirus.

This is K-Styling in a nutshell.
YOU JUST GOT WIKI'D

Korean-Style

StrategyWiki has more information about GunZ The Duel Korean-Style Techniques

"Korean-Style," or commonly known as "K-Style," is a style of playing in GunZ that was introduced by the Korean GunZ community. It is based on animation and gameplay glitches and is a form of emergent gameplay. Like in several fighting games such as Street Fighter, canceling certain character animations or doing two actions at the same time in a sequence can create complex combo moves. However, since it's based on several programming oversights, people using the style were commonly considered to be cheating and bug abuse, but it was never forbidden in any of the versions. In fact, it was featured in the official 2005 trailer released on the official GunZ website.[1] At the core of K-Style is the usage of these animation cancels. K-Stylers most commonly use swords due to its weight to damage ratio advantage over kodachis, however both are equally usable.

VanHalen
Jun 28, 2008, 03:06 AM
"K-Style"?

If I told you how to do it, I'd have to kill you after. Though I'd probably won't play again I guess I can. It's a glitch abuse move that you'll have to learn if you want to compete at level 15+ games.

EDIT: Nitro beat me to it.

You could play Drift City with a controller; just have to get Joy2Key (http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey%20English%20Version.htm). You can use it for other stuff too. If you really want to, I suppose you could map the controls for GunZ onto a controller.

Drift City has fine controls. There's really no need for a control pad but it would work just as well.

Nitro Vordex

Are you some kind of girl scout? Seriously, a mouse is better then an analog stick for aiming. You clearly don't have enough practice in to realize this.

Look, certain games can use controllers. Certain games cant. If you ever dared touch a controller on any PC shooting game you'd be so utterly fucked it wouldn't even be funny. There's a reason PC shooters don't allow (by default) controller integration. They know the mouse and keyboard are far superior.

*EDIT* To comment on that I RRRAGE at those who use control pads PC games.

TalHex
Jun 28, 2008, 09:47 PM
you know maybe a mouse/joystick combo would work best, cuz WASD movement isn't exactly the best. you could assign movement to the joystick, while the mouse could still be used for camera/aiming shooting

Nitro Vordex
Jun 28, 2008, 10:01 PM
But then you're divided by two "controllers". <_>

The WASD is easy, because it's simple. Plus, GunZ is full forward run or don't, unless you tap it. Which would probably result in a dash/roll anyways.

O hay, you can barrel roll in GunZ. :wacko:

Sgt_Shligger
Jun 28, 2008, 10:04 PM
