Both FC 2 and FC3 have awful gun handling, very weightless and unsatisfying. I hope FC4 improves on that front (fat chance).

So you're still talking about the story. Yeah Far Cry 3's story was bad, even people who liked the game agree on that.

The only Far Cry with a good story is Blood Dragon's because it doesn't take itself seriously at all. Where's my Blood Dragon 2 that's one big parody of Escape From New York, Ubi?

A Proper Uppercut posted:You guys talking about Ether One, is that on sale somewhere? If it is I missed the post. I don't know about Quest For Glory II, but I had a coupon at GamersGate that I used it with. Quest For Glory II posted:I'm surprised at how big each area is, I'm in the industrial section which is after the harbour and it's like holy cow. I might not try to solve every puzzle but I wanna solve as many as I can, if I feel like they're not going to be a huge hassle. I'm also enjoying finding combination codes on items I pick up and spin around in 3D. All games should have 3d object examination. I'm not crazy about being able to carry only one item, but since I'm a typical RPG packrat maybe it's good to challenge my instinctive habit to carry every item I can pick up. There doesn't seem to be any good reason for it, though, which kind of makes it worse.

I liked how Far Cry 2's story made you feel like a terrible person. It didn't judge or preach (like Spec Ops: The Line), it just gave you mission objectives to complete, and the missions were pretty evil stuff. Your stated main goal for the whole thing is to stop the arms dealer supplying the weapons. By the end, I really did feel like a terrible person myself - the things I'd done no longer justified the goal. I felt the ending fit the game perfectly. ... Who exactly is the audience for a "visual novel" which has no choices, and where the "plot" is a flimsy excuse to show anime "porn"... which has no nipples? Seriously, what's the poi- oh right, it's just a cynical attempt to cash in on money from suckers and creeps.

This sounds like most Horror/gore-porn movies. Some people just want to see a dude fisted with a car battery by the spirit of their dead girlfriend's stepfather, or a possessed chick lick a razorblade. And some people like those anime things. It's no big deal. Quit gettin' mad 'bout things that don't matter. Water under a bridge, man. Neither group's smashing your face in with a sock full of combo-locks or Sakura bodypillow. Let it go.

Quest For Glory II posted:It was on sale at GOG last week. Ahaha, this actually happened to me. I put down some electrical wires somewhere and then when I got to the Blacksmith's I realized that I needed them to finish the puzzle. So I had to search the whole town to figure out where I dropped them.

To clarify, the original versions of Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light were pulled because there's now the "redux" versions. Though this does mean the more expensive version of 2033 is the only one you can buy now. Wonder why Ride to Hell was pulled. Yeah, its pretty much poo poo in every respect and it leaving the store is a good thing, but it's not like it was functionally broken or anything. It worked and anybody buying it at this point without knowing what it is deserved it.

Which is super lovely for anyone like me because 2033 redux still crashes on startup every time for me, yet 2033 original (just pulled) runs with no problems. I'm actually quite annoyed I got suckered into pre ordering redux.

Yeah silt everyone's throats and get a POV of loving that tribe girl and then you get stabbed because the writer wants you to feel bad! I am still looking forward to Far Cry 4 because who didn't enjoy going to the enemies bases and wrecking poo poo. If I saw a tiger in a cage, most of the time I am gonna unlock that cage and let carnage take care of itself.

Other than the mild bullet-sponginess of the enemies, Far cry 2 was the first game I really fell in love with in terms of the gunplay. The minor desperation of hoping the next clip didn't neutralize your own gun--and also the feeling of picking up a fresh one at an armory, was thrilling on different levels but both enjoyable. Plus, nothing pleased me more than finally picking up the thumper, hearing the familiar revving of an enemy jeep, only to one-shot destroy it into a building-high pillar of smoke. Far Cry 3's guns were great, the entire game's gameplay felt like a first-person cinematic. Killing enemies, in the meanwhile, was a bit less satisfying, save for when I pulled off some fun stealth moments. Still, taking over the map is stupid. Either way, both games were great and I didn't regret pumping so many hours into either.

Does anyone know why they pulled Commander: The Great War from Steam? Unlike the Metro games, there are no improved versions of the same game available, and unlike Ride to Hell, it's certainly not lovely! In fact, it's probably the most easy-to-get-into World War 1 strategy game that I've ever seen. Would be a shame if its removal from Steam turned out to be because of something serious and non-negotiable.

I didn't necessarily mean more traditional RPGs when I said that, quite a few of them have just fine stories. The issue is that the weird overlap between "sandbox with stuff to do, and a story if you want it" and more traditional WRPGs basically ends with Ubisoft games. You could call Batman that, but the stories are some of the best parts of the Batman games. Shadow of Mordor has a story but I don't expect to be as engrossed with it as I am with Orc Chess.

Basically it was a dumb statement on my part. I agree with you, though. I tend to get bored with sandbox games because lack of an overarching and interesting narrative makes me just not care. The obvious true answer is sleepy dawgs, though. Great story; great sandbox fun.
