I actually found that review on Steam and the dude's avatar is a "WHITE PRIDE" t-shirt. The world's gonna feel really bad when it turns out s/he's just a huge fan of Breaking Bad.

Cream it was kind of weird/funny seeing so much Todd Howard at e3 this year. I actually didn't even know who he was before your posts, even though I had played Fallout 3 and some Scrolls. So he's a fictional character as far as I know. I think he was acting "normal" to fit in, but you can tell it's an act, he's an eccentric madman.

Howard's visage. I'm not really willing to accept temporal paradoxes ("Wah, T. Howard didn't even work for Bethesda when they started making TES games!" etc.) or anything else that might refute these feelings/beliefs. T. Howard is some kind of elf and if you don't believe me, just listen to him speak about literally anything. He's not a human being.

With regards to RAGE: I'm a huge sucker for punchy sawed-off shotguns, and I was disappointed to discover that even if you buy everything RAGE-related on Steam, you still won't have access to the game's sawed-off or "Fists of Rage". You'd have to track down a physical copy of the game that had the bonus content, but it's doubly frustrating because the content is already in the game. It's just locked up behind a config file. Fortunately, following method #2 in this guide, I figured out it only takes about 20 seconds to get them added back into the game with a simple .txt edit. The sawed-off is actually a pretty nicely balanced weapon: It discharges both barrels when fired, and has an unsurprisingly short effective range. Fortunately, it hits like few other things in the game when you hit something within that range. The result is that both shotguns remain useful for different applications--especially if you end up loading them with different ammo.

Tenzarin posted:Thread is missing air buccaneers for unreal tournament. I played this way back in high school, but only with a few friends because there were absolutely never any servers up with players. It was super cool and a ton of fun flying around loving about with friends, but somehow the few modern games (including the standalone version of the mod) that try to do the same thing just do not capture the same magic at all. I can't really pin down why, though, other than maybe because they tend to make it quite a bit more complicated in terms of mechanics.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I know but at least with OpenAL, I don't think that handles the 3D sound reflection quite like A3D did. You should look up Steam Audio or similar technologies. I think most of Creative's patents related to this kind of tech ran out about a year ago, at which point several companies (including Valve) started releasing some very cool audio tech. Most games just haven't had time to integrate it yet.

I used to have an N64 but never got into either Golden Eye or Perfect Dark. And I loved FPSs at the time. These games never came out for PC did they? I don't have an N64 and can't imagine playing an FPS without at least dual sticks, but i'm interested in checking these games out.

Additionally, there's an excellent port/remaster of Perfect Dark for the Xbox 360 if you have one of those.

I always hate it when I neglect to check the thread, because then something happens, and there's like 500 posts for me to catch up on. Anyway, I've been on a Warhammer kick as of late, and I was wondering if anyone was familiar with any of the Warhammer FPS games. There's Space Hulk in 1993, Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels in 1995, and Fire Warrior in 2003. I don't know if the first one is really considered an FPS, since it looks like it based around grid movement. I've seen video of it, and tried playing it myself, but it seems clunky as all hell. Soon as you start, aliens come and rip you to shreds. Vengeance of the Blood Angels looks a little more conventional based on the clips I've seen of it. Fire Warrior I just found about the other day. Does anyone have any experience with any of these games?

It's more of a tactical real time squad commander game rather than FPS. I remember it being really hard. The Genestealers are super fast and very deadly. I never got to play Vengeance. Fire Warrior plays like a super generic sci fi shooter. I don't think they even take advantage of any of the your player character's faction, the Tau, lore. I played through it and can't remember a single thing other than, "Yes, I played the Warhammer 40K FPS on Playstation 2"

Quake Champions is free if you download it this weekend on Steam. I think it'll be free eventually anyway, but the early access fee is waived for the weekend, or something.

Yeah that was complete bullshit, especially how you got literally the best suit in the game as well. Other Bethesda games do the preorder exclusive weapon thing as well and it's always bs. Evil Within 1&2 and Prey did it and it kinda screws up all of them by giving you some powerful poo poo right at the start.

Convex posted:Yeah that was complete bullshit, especially how you got literally the best suit in the game as well. I remember that Dishonored dumped a bunch of DLC items in your apartment-roost, but it wasn't immediately obvious which items were mission rewards and which were just DLC freebies. At least in that case, I figured out which items I had "earned" and ignored the others so it didn't screw with the game's balance. Then Bioshock: Infinite does something similar at the start of the game, but doesn't let you leave the area until you pick up every single bonus item. And most of the items imbued you with permanent stat upgrades, so you couldn't even just drop or ignore them.

Pretty good controller configuration options, as I remember. I forget if Doom 64 allowed two controllers as well Max Wilco posted:Space Hulk in 1993, Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels in 1995, and Fire Warrior in 2003... It switches to a prerendred QTE that look pretty slick when the genestealers get too close. The game sticks close to how the board game plays, rather than being an action game. It was actually disappointing to me to play it after seeing it in stores and magazines as a kid and thinking that it was the most killer thing ever.

I've mostly heard that Fire Warrior is just kinda there. It's a functional FPS but does nothing beyond that. If I remember right, the only really notable thing about it is that it was released around the same time the Tau themselves were, so it was kinda an introduction to the army.

Thqnkfully for RAGE, you can just mess around with with the text files and just get the preorder bonuses right off the bat. They're pretty sweet for early game.

RAGE was a surprise with how much I enjoyed it, but man people were not exaggerating how hard that ending just comes out of nowhere.Douk Douk posted:Stuff I get the point you're making and I feel like yeah it's difficult to pull off, but it's not impossible. One person doing their vision and multiple people trying to carry out someone else's vision are pretty different. I don't think it's impossible, but I think it requires really good direction or you do get that mismatched or generic feel. So I hit up a sale on GoG to play some older FPSes I've never gotten around to. F.E.A.R.: Been putting it off for a while but it's really good. I always heard the AI was good but it really caught me off guard how they're aggressive without being suicidal. Wish some of the pacing with talky bits was a bit better, but that's not a big issue with me. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault: Shows its age but I kinda like it for that. Enemies don't really take cover so it's kind of fun just plowing through Nazis like a madman instead of plinking guys behind cover or doing forced stealth like modern WW2 shooters. Plays more like Wolfenstein than New Colossus did. Outlaws: Only played a bit of it when it came out on my Grandpa's computer and I really like this one. Cool look, feel, and soundtrack. It's one of the hardest games I've ever played though. I can't remember the last time I died on an E1M1. Kingpin: Woof this one is rough but a lot of fun. Definitely got that weird Quake 2 look with its lava lamp models. I did have to look at a Longplay real quick just to see what I was supposed to be doing at first but got the hang of it after that. The AI for friendly NPCs is surprisingly good especially for the time.

I totally agree this is a weird way of doing it, sort of like how Dead Space’s free Xbox armor was one of the most powerful suits in the game and you can’t change it back, but I gotta say it makes replays a lot less tedious.

It's practically unplayable with how horrible all the menuing and save/loading is. Every action gives me long black screens that minimize and go fullscreen again.

BJ could be in the new Wolfenstein since he has that synthetic super body which could be replaced or upgraded. Also unless those sisters are twins I guess that answers the question of whether or not his new body had a dick. I wasn't the only person wondering about that, was I? Whoever is in it I can't wait. I'm belatedly playing through The Old Blood at the moment and I'm impressed by how much work went into it and how long it is. It's not just a cash in with reused assets, it feels like a full fledged game.
