<p>I've yet to come across any. No one on my floor owns a console and it's weird... I was expecting berkeley to be filled with gamers but I haven't met any.</p>
<p>Where are all the street fighter players or at least console fps players. </p>
<p>Is there a video game club?</p>
<p>We just discussed Black Ops in that thread over there. I play that on xbox 360 :)</p>
<p>People in apartments are probably much more likely to own consoles than those in dorms.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t think that too many people bring them. I mean I’ve seen plenty of Wiis, and people playing Brawl, but I’ve only ever seen one Xbox and one nice TV (all the others have been old CRTs or really small LCDs).</p>
<p>I would bring a lot more nice stuff over here, if I wasn’t worried about it getting stolen and if I had more free time. I don’t see too much of a point lugging over my TV, surround sound system, PS3, and record player, if I’m not going to have any time to use them and they would only fit in the common room. That is why I think the Wii is more popular, most of the games are relatively casual (play in your spare time) it doesn’t need a mid-large HDTV to enjoy, and it is fairly cheap.</p>
<p>Next semester, I’d like to bring my PS3 and TV and play some Black Ops, but It would look like my only free time would be on Friday (No class), Saturday, and Sunday, and during the day I’ll have to work, and at night I’d rather party than play videogames (although I wouldn’t mind playing a few weekends).</p>
<p>So, you’ll definitely find some people, but you’re not going to run into a lot of people who have left their systems as home.</p>
<p>When I read your thread, I totally thought games as in backgammon and chess lol ahahaahah <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>i should have lived in an apartment this year… man, my favorite thing to do is sit around with a bunch of people and just play games. </p>
<p>Know of any good apartments to keep in mind for future videogame playing?</p>
<p>I do! I play a lot of different type of games actually, but not as much nowadays since college takes up a good chunk of my time. I’m mainly into computer games, such as LoL, WoW, sc2, wc3 (well, not anymore since sc2), and variety of steam games.</p>
<p>I’m also into competitive console games like street fighter and Tekken 6, but I’m not as great in them as I use to be since I haven’t practiced in such a long time.</p>
<p>we need to play street fighter sometime. I have not come across anyone here that plays street fighter. And i also play loooooooooooooooooots of WC3. Been playing that game since it came out.</p>
<p>lol i’m actually pretty bad at street fighter. i think it’s a bit too technical for me.</p>
<p>you should join the AAA lan tournaments. they compete on all the games i was talking about.</p>
<p>i live in an apartment this year and my roommate brought his ps2. for some reason we have street fighter (SNES version… [yes, it’s very weird playing it w/o the SNES controllers, especially for me since SNES street fighter (and zelda) taught me how to read…])</p>
<p>but yeah, i brought my n64 to my apartment a few weeks ago and now we play super smash bros every now and then.</p>
<p>aside from that, my other roommate plays a lot of starcraft. and i know a lot of people into Black Ops now. i guess that’s the closest to ‘hardcore’ gamers that i know of. meh.</p>
<p>that sounds good enough for me, srs, 2nd year living in dorms and no one on my floors play videogames.</p>
<p>Very few people are going to bring their systems to the dorms. You’ll probably find that the proportion increases as people settle into their apartments.</p>
<p>That said, I play unhealthy quantities of TF2 and Minecraft, and anticipate having to exercise very serious self-restraint for the few months following my purchase of Diablo III.</p>
<p>Also of note is that Cal’s difficulty level doesn’t really lend itself to heavy gaming. The majority of the people I know who are concretely better than I am at TF2 either haven’t attended college, are at easier institutions, or graduated a while back and have jobs that afford them plenty of free time.</p>
<p>The school’s half Asian . . . therefore PC gaming dominates a lot more than those cute little boxes that you plug into TVs.</p>
<p>I play PC games, only multiplayer ones at the moment are Bad Company 2 and Guild Wars but looking forward to SWTOR. My housemates all play League of Legends.</p>
<p>I play halo. i didn’t bring my console, but a friend (in an apartment) has one, so I played some at his house.</p>
<p>but whenever i go back home, I always play halo!</p>
<p>I feel like the hardcore gamers wouldn’t be on College Confidential enough to see this thread…I’m sure there are plenty of them here at Berkeley though.</p>
<p>If anyone here plays halo, and is willing to invite me, please do! I would love to play halo with other people here.</p>
<p>just pm me!
I’m semi-good. better than many noobs on xbox live, but not REALLY REALLY good.</p>
<p>i play…minesweeper. Religiously.</p>
<p>The only games that warrant “hardcore” are fighting games, RTS’s, and CS 1.6. Everything else has much too low of a skill cap.</p>
<p>nah, fps’s take skill</p>
<p>Notice how I included CS 1.6. I’ll throw in Quake 3/Live in there too as it’s respectable. Every other fps I can think requires some reskinned sequel with NEW EXTRA CONTENT ZOMG AND CAMPAIGNS AT SPESHUL DISCOUNT $59.99 to capture anyone’s attention. As those Halo pros move back into their moms’ basements, CS and Quake pros are still elevating the tactical depth of their respective games after more than a decade.</p>
