Yeah oddium be courteous when it comes to sharing upsetting history like that. We have at least one actual dog posting here.Snak posted:"HK Project", that game where you play as a cat in a Kowloon Walled City-inspired city is still in dev... Kowloon Walled City was a lawless enclave with abhorrent living conditions but something about it always fascinated me. I've always wanted to play a game set in it or places like it. A few areas in Chris' campaign in RE6 almost scratches that itch, but not quite. Edit: this game looks great already ![]() Mak0rz fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Mar 13, 2017 |

There was a great podcast about it, that also delves into Treyarch designers talking about recreating the place for COD Black Ops

corn in the bible posted:If you're hooked up directly to a cable line or whatever you'll be Ok. Resolution would depend on how fast your internet is, of course, but reducing lag is the most important thing. It's untenably laggy on wifi, for example, regardless of your actual network speed. I've always played PS Now over wifi and even when playing Sonic or other fast games have not noticed input lag, certainly not "untenably laggy". We also don't even have a particularly fast ISP and the router and PS4 are in different rooms with two walls between them.

Here's the blog for HK project. It's not anywhere near close to finished, probably just a hobby right now.

The Walled City features prominently in The Bourne Supremecy novel and lots of literature. It's cited heavily throughout cyberpunk lit and media as a primary influence. Something about the layers upon layers of unregulated, unfettered, and blind-eyed development. Synthetic design growing and expanding itself like an organic creature. There's a photo book about it: https://www.amazon.com/City-Darkness-Life-Kowloon-Walled/dp/1873200137 But the price has only ever risen, outpacing my willingness to spend increasing amounts of money on it. In other news, what if I just used the HZD map for mainline quest stuff and tried to explore everything else organically? I'm happy to hear there's no mini-map or anything.

You could easily get by doing that. Just don't buy the collection maps and you'd be fine.

Oh huh https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/socksthecat/socks-the-cat-the-video-game-based-on-the-clintons Some dude acquired the rights and whatever was made and ran a successful kickstarter to finish it and I guess he's gonna have it come out by July at latest. It'll be an interesting novelty at least.

Phantasium posted:Nah, gently caress rich assholes that buy up prototypes and try to poo poo out a buck on it. I really don't see the problem here. Dude obtained a rare collector's piece and wants to make it available to the general public while making sure the funding covers distribution, legal fees, art, and making the game into something that has an end state and doesn't just end at a kill screen. ![]()

It's pretty easy to make a rom available to the public, actually, and I don't think you'll find many people lamenting the loss of an end state to a mascot platformer on the SNES.

Like, as soon as he finishes, that rom will be leaked just the same, so if a guy wants to raise money to finish it, that doesn't seem worth getting huffy admit. Acting like the guy is scum for buying it in the first place but also claiming no one cares about it seems contradictory.

Absolutely nobody should care about it. As an archive? Yeah let's just butcher it before releasing it even though I'm not the original dev or anything. Like he's not the worst person in the world and "Socks the Cat" is hardly the most important archival item either but if your first response to having a rare piece of history is to try and make a buck off it he can go gently caress himself.

It's should be free because it was never actually finished. It's stupid to turn it into a commercial product but capitalism is unstoppable.

I mean, if he gave out the original prototype in addition to his finished version would there still be a problem? I think that's a fine compromise.

Dragonfall is chronologically the first of the recent Shadowrun games, right? Which class is best?

Really Pants posted:Dragonfall is chronologically the first of the recent Shadowrun games, right? Which class is best? Idk if you mean ~timeline wise~ or in terms of release dates, the first Harebrained Shadowrun game was actually Shadowrun Returns but the thing is that Returns isn't really as compelling as the other two were so you can afford to skip it. I don't think there's a class you can't do well with but if you're going to go for any sort of shootman I recall that there's no reason not simply spec in rifles over pistols or SMGs.

In terms of overall game structure a decker is a really good choice for Dragonfall, the designated decker companion is both kinda lame character wise and not terribly good at their job compared to a PC decker. It also works nicely because it pays to dip into biotech with karma for story flavor stuff and the high int build makes that easy. For standard combat it's dealer's choice for ranged combat weapon, just remember it's the actual quickness + ranged combat scores that determines your chance to hit, pumping the weapon skills just gives you new abilities and increases crit chance. Going for a decker/rigger combo actually works out as well, my first run in the game was that and it was a powerhouse build with lots of map options.

But he's not butchering it...part of the kickstarter was that if it got funded, he'd release both the original rom for people to check out and the updated thing that's being worked on e: Kickstarter Page posted:Then in 2011 things got really interesting. A private collector allowed a friend to shoot some video footage and upload it to YouTube of what appeared to be the Socks the Cat video game. Instant vitriol would follow. While some were happy there was finally proof of the existence of the long lost game, others were upset that the collector would not release the game for others to enjoy. One thing was clear, the 20 years of speculation were over. Socks did exist. This created even more questions. FirstAidKite fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Mar 14, 2017 |

My backlog list was updated to include Civ 5 because it's one of my GF games that I forgot to include on the list and also Oceanhorn which I just bought because it's half price. Oceanhorn is a game I've been itching to get to for a long time. I can't afford a Switch or WiiU to play Breath of the Wild so this will have to do to scratch that Zelda itch.
