euphronius posted:Did anyone buy sunset overdrive? Day one, one of the best games of 2014. The writing is terrible at the start but as the game goes on it gets better and by the end it's geniunely funny as hell. I can understand why people don't like it but just the act of moving around in that game is fun as gently caress. Throwing in some of the weapon and amp combinations you can make and it's a really great time.

euphronius posted:Huh it got really good reviews. It just seemed so obnoxious I thought it would be terrible. But I am maybe too old for game.s The thing is, you are making your own character (though there is just one voice per gender), so you aren't forced to be the lovely rear end in a top hat they have in all the promo material. As I said, the writing ranges from atrocious to geniunely funny, sometimes they are really trying too hard and they straight up use memes, other times it is clever and smart. For example, one mission has you ordering a robot dog to go kill these robot hordes. One of the things the main character says is something like GOOD DOG MUCH STRONG or whatever. On the other hand, there's a side mission with the dialogue for the robots replaced, and instead the robots are talking about how great focus groups are, statistics from focus groups, how guns make things sell, poo poo like that, and the music is replaced with dubstep.

That's why my main source at this point is Giant Bomb quicklooks; it's straight gameplay from the first part of the game. With some commentary on how it feels. And personality and humor. Good poo poo. edit: I will pull some poo poo up on twitch to check gameplay too...

TheLovablePlutonis posted:That's a character from Strange Journey dumbass she is also the law character which makes her objectively the most shithead character in a game of characters who are mostly terrible human beings FactsAreUseless posted:The mission design is so much better, though. Instead of campaign missions being the low points of the game (the incredibly lovely boss fights, the giant monster) they're variations on the central sneak-and-shoot gameplay. It makes a big difference, especially with the removal of the long slow unskippable dream/drug sequences. uhhh how far did you get? because you are required to do one of the drug sequences for the manor and its one of the best missions in the game imho. though the removal of bosses for stealth and take over bases is much cooler and there are a lot fewer story quests from my understanding too. the unskippable cut scenes are still a thing and kind of annoying but you only really have to watch them once. the best part of 4 is the secret ending and it justifies the entire game

There's a point where something stops being a parody and starts being what you're parodying, and I think it's about the time you're forced to do lovely unfun things for no real reason.

Accordion Man posted:This, playing Black Flag right after Mordor really showed how rear end Creed still has jank platforming while Mordor is smooth as butter. I like rear end Creed (Skipped 3) but Black Flag is most likely going to be my last one. one of the weirdest parts of AC4's movement is how it is sometimes hard to run in a straight line coming out of a turn and your character just weaves back and forth as you over compensate for his sluggish momentum and lovely camera. combine that with the very bad system for interpreting what you want to do when running/jumping on objects and its a disaster. in mordor you can safely run from a roof to a wire and never accidently launch yourself off and even if you get lost its hard to lose a mission that way. in AC if you miss that wire by a pixel you could end up getting booted to a loading screen from falling behind one one of the dozens of chase missions.

There's 3 sorta crappy levels at the beginning. That's basically it. They're not nightmarishly bad, just a minor bummer. You don't have to play the game, I don't think it was super amazing, just don't mislead people. It's absolutely a Serious Sam game by the end. For what it's worth, in coop on the difficulty where the enemies are invisible, even those first few levels are kinda fun.

Real hurthling! posted:combine that with the very bad system for interpreting what you want to do when running/jumping on objects and its a disaster. Oh, god the contextual controls. I wasn't used to the control scheme but started picking it up and even hours in i would be: A) Jumping off high places I didn't mean to because I needed to do something that used the shared A 'jump' button. There goes nearly beating a long mission I was almost done with. Or: B) Trying to run and accidentally hitting an outcropping or small wall... and attempting to freerun up it and do a flip. During chase sequences when doing that once or twice costs you the mission. In tight spaces, this would happen over and over. JainDoh fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Jan 6, 2015 |

Whole mess of DOS games went up on the Internet Archive today.quote:The Internet Archive just dumped nearly 2,400 old MS-DOS video games into an easy-to-navigate repository. Every single one of the games is free to play in your browser. Some of the games are classics from your youth. Some of them are hilariously obscure. And some of them are porn—which is something you probably didn't realize existed on MS-DOS. https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_msdos_games/v2 Though you can't do things like save, so hope you're ready for a marathon session to beat Eye of the Beholder 2.

I guess gamepad support is coming soon. Browser based Street Fighter 2 '92 with gamepads... If they jammed in "Player 1: Local(1), Player 2: Username" and lobbies? It'd be the new Quake Live. Due to the archive nature, I highly doubt it, however. Perhaps if it's up free on the Archive someone can do this legally? e: The first thing I tried to play was Raptor: Call of the Shadows and it made it through the (badass) intro into the menu before crashing.

Hey nerds, remember how much you loved C&C generals? Yah you loving did. So some war sperg rts guys are making a RTS. They did wargame air land battle and red dragon. TOTALLY NOT JUST LIKE GENERALS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfRqrxGQQg4 http://www.actofaggression-game.com/ http://actofaggression.wikia.com/wiki/Act_of_Aggression resource gathering, base building, click move poo poo 3 factions In a world of conspiracies, the Cartel aims to seize control of the world thanks to its high-tech technology, stolen prototypes, and furtive infiltration forces. Fighting this looming threat, the US Army whose military forces benefited from 15 years of significant technological innovations. The Phantom Protocol, an undercover paramilitary organization specialized in quick, blinding fast strikes and whose objective is to keep peace in the world.

Update, the phantom protocol is now the chimera, a UN group to fight the cartel with jack of all trade units that can be upgraded to be specialized. Prisoners of wars are a thing and you can sell them for money. So is fighting for oil, one of the resources. Up to 40 players in multiplayer lol The cartel is the military industrial complex quote:The "Cartel" is a military-industrial syndicate and violent non-state actor formed sometime during the 21st century.

maybe more relevant than those games is that they also did act of war a decent generals clone that already features most of the features and has the exact same factions, but with different names
