That's supposed to be Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, a first person shooter with a western setting from 2009.

It's also a Techland game so this should come as no surprise at all

It kind of makes sense in a way. Look at Blood Dragon as well. At launch the price was a quarter that of a normal AAA game and you can tell that Unisoft and the talent there had a blast making it. poo poo, it has Michael Biehn in it and he gives a gently caress compared to wanting to slit his wrists during Colonial Marines.
Same developer, smaller budget than the 'real' games in their respective series, etc.

Christ, I forgot they made Dead Island too. Anyway, I keep hearing that about Dying Light, but between the open world, the zombies, the skill trees and the loot/crafting it seems purpose-built to have every single thing I don't want in it. I guess it's a really good one of those games though so alright, two good games.

Dying light does seem like someone tried to shoehorn every current trend into a single game so I'm not surprised people would just assume it's bad.

I was expecting it to be a disaster, but after my best friend recommended it, I picked Dying Light up and yeah, it's actually pretty good. GOTY? All-time classic? By no means. A decent way to spent a few bucks and hours? Yeah, unless you are not a fan of the kind of game, it's a pretty good time.

I torrented Dying Light for shits and gigs, expecting to laugh at the bad game, and then ended up dropping cash on it about 2 hours after I started playing. It is a hundred times better than it has any right to be.

I played Dead Island and it scratched that very specific "melee zombies in the goddamn face" itch, but wasn't particularly good otherwise.

A couple of years later, Dead Island Riptide came out and I picked it up because hey, new smack zombies in the face simulator. I also grabbed Dying Light on release at the same time, and holy poo poo does Dying Light do everything better.

I still have not played past the first hour or so of Riptide because I decided to try Dying Light and can't go back.

Dying Light is basically what happens when Mirror's Edge makes bad life decisions and sleeps with Dead Island but then keeps the accidental pregnancy and raises the child with love and respect, resulting in good kid despite everything, with zombies.

I've only heard this one third hand so I don't remember much about the game, but it's a glitch that has stuck with me after first hearing about it, long ago.

It was some NES-era game, which involved you in a tank blowing up some other tanks and stuff. You'd shoot things, they'd turn red to show they've taken damage. Do it enough, they'd blow up, and you'd move on.

There was an insidious exploit/glitch, though: if you paused while your enemy was red, the game would just assume that the enemy was perpetually taking damage. Lower level guys, bosses, it didn't matter: land a hit, pause when it turned red, and wait a while. Unpause, and it'll be dead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Battletank

This was SNES for me. My friend owned it and by accident we found that if you paused it when an enemy had turned red during a hit the dmg would continue to register. The best way to achieve this was to use the anti-infantry machine gun, fire in bursts and rapidly pause

Dying light is a fine game, and its the game I played the most on xboxone. To me its drat near the perfect zombie game. However it is not without the occasional glitch. Like the time my grappling hook decided to defy gravity:

IIRC Riptide was their publisher telling them to put out another Dead Island game right away. They didn't have a lot of time so it kind of got thrown together with no real plan.

You could ask this of relay races. It's a sport. :shrug:

In any case, it's an endurance test for the cars, and by extension a test of the maintenance people's skill and ingenuity. Also a logistical challenge for getting people and equipment to the right places at the right times.

But think how much more awesome it would be if the race was about which drivers could handle the amount of amphetamines necessary to maintain a car at 120mph for a whole 24 hours?

In the Le Mans Prototype (LMP) classes it's also a place for manufacturers to test out new technology. Generally the rules are looser than F1 so there's more variety in car design.

The point of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is actually to get drunk and have a giant party, and oh yeah there are cars going by in the background. :shrug:

But yeah the original idea was to make more durable cars, and then it became this coveted prize the way insane ideas often do. I find the concept and the atmosphere around it rather fascinating, but not everyone does.
