I'm not sure I'd want a Legacy of Kain revival without Amy Hennig on writing duty to be honest. I replayed the whole series about a year ago (although I skipped Blood Omen 2 because of the many issues getting it working on a modern PC - I think I would have been better emulating a console version) and while the plot and voice acting are fantastic, Blood Omen 1 suffers hugely from its legacy as a PS1 game with constantly having to read data from the disc. The other games have early 3D open world issues to varying extents with controls and camera (the water level in SR1 was bad even by the standards of the time). It was worth it for the plot but I definitely couldn't recommend it to someone that didn't have nostalgia for the series.

Oh yeah don't worry, I got my fill of it back when it was released. Did they ever explain how Vorador was alive in that time?

I still have no idea what people have against RtwP combat. I'm sure I've heard a bunch of arguments on these forums, but none of them made enough sense to stick with me. ... As always, we should look to that paragon of good gameplay decisions, Arcanum, for salvation. Turn based for when you really have to account for every move, real time for trash mobs and long dungeons.

Orv posted:No, it couldn't but realistically there are many talented people out there and I would accept a close enough facsimile. They rerecorded all of the WoW race intros for Cataclysm and whoever they got for them sounds almost EXACTLY like Tony Jay, it's uncanny. So get that guy. The other problem is that Michael Bell and Simon Templeman are getting pretty up there too now and nobody's getting any younger.

Is Hunt: Showdown any good? A lot of the reviews are pretty positive on it but there was one review written by a dude with a shitload of hours in it and it sounded like it started going down the tubes something fierce?

Mordja posted:I like it, play a couple matches just about every day. They added some sort of anti-camping mechanic to the game recently, is that what he's complaining about? Otherwise it hasn't changed all that much, it's just maintained a smallish but steady playerbase. Yeah, one of his negatives was that some people like to camp in bushes for the entire duration of a match and how it's a headshot fest. Also didn't like the premium currency stuff, among other things.

Unfortunately, it's got a high learning curve so I can't just tell you to buy it and play it under the refund period because that's probably too little time to know, but you might as well try!

Mordja posted:Hmmmmm, some people do sit in bushes (usually solos) and wait for people to come by but that's been a thing from the beginning and I'm not sure what the devs can do to stop people from playing like that. Like I said, they have added various anti-camp mechanics in compounds that I think have worked well, and have incentivized actually going after and fighting the bosses through better rewards, so it's probably less of a problem now? Due to the slow ROF of just about every gun at range it definitely is a headshot-heavy shooter though, and they actually did decrease weapon sway at launch from what it was during the beta, something I'm no fan of but have grown accustomed to. The thing to realize is that it's secretly a stealth game and a lot of the combat relies on getting into an advantageous position or creeping up on the enemy. As for the premium currency, that's a non-issue. It's basically just for skins, you can get a heap of it for completing the tutorials and linking your account, and it's earned steadily from just playing the game. There's zero P2W in the game. How would you go about trying to convince someone to overlook the permanently losing your hunter when they die? How does the game offset that sort of loss?

Haven't played but it sounds super budget. No metagame whatsoever, basically no story either, just a set of combat scenarios. I think it plays exactly like MYZ just without the charm so you might as well try that if you own it.

Next week's free Epic Store game is Just Cause 4, so if anyone wanted to try that game without worrying about paying for another shitheap like Just Cause 3, that's your chance to give it a shot I guess.

Play Mutant Year Zero- it’s good! Sure it has flaws, but if you like tactical games, it’s well worth the time.

Mordja posted:There's actually a grace period during the first 10 account levels where you don't lose your hunter at all. You can also recruit a completely free dude after every single match so it's actually impossible to get in the red, plus you earn money from just finding clues and fighting bosses which you keep even if you're killed before extracting. There's also daily challenges you can complete for free guns and items, and finally the BR-like Quickplay also uses free hunters that you keep when you win, but I don't think it's a very popular mode. Does your hunter level up quickly? Even with the grace period, losing your hunter permanently is still a hard sell.

Re: Hunt, unless you are abysmally bad, like 5th percentile bad, losing your hunter is never going to be more than a mild inconvenience and even a completely fresh T1 hunter can clear an entire map of players and do the boss.

Gay Rat Wedding posted:Does hunt have separate queues for solos/groups You can queue as a solo but it does not delineate the queues, you'll go up against duos and trios. Which honestly given the weaponry in the game is not nearly as hard to accomplish something in as in games with automatic weapons.

Mordja posted:They do, but the thing about Hunters is that they don't actually matter that much. You can give them perks which help in certain circumstances but they're ultimately made to be disposable. Gear is what really determines how you play and you can equip them on anyone. Hunters have a max level of 50, but I just get them to around 25 (which takes two fruitful games) and retire them for the XP/cash. Not that I need either lol. I see. Does gear unlock at the account level then? Do those have hunter level requirements? It seems like traits do, unless I'm reading the wiki wrong. Also how's matchmaking work? Is it a free-for-all or do you get matched with people in range of your level? Jimbot fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Apr 12, 2020 |

Yeah, all gear is account level, completely divorced from your hunters. You can go in with free, tier-1 hunter armed with the best guns if you like, and of course you can steal said guns from mans you kill. Traits are specific to each hunter and you unlock new ones the same way you unlock items. As for matchmaking, I think it's supposed to be based on MMR but I dunno if the population's big enough for that to really shake out. You do get more XP for killing better-equipped players though.

The checkpoint for the cleanse the TV fight in Control is like exactly far enough away and occasionally filled with enough random bad guys that I like never want to play it again after the fourth time I've gotten killed by the boss The tip to try to find some more mods on the loading screen when I quit to menu was some real insult to injury, like I was losing because I was missing an additional percentage point of bullet spread or whatever

Noooooo.  to my trusty used and abused Microsoft office mouse, with it's just-right weight and simplicity. Lasted a ridiculously long time, all things considered (like legit possibly upwards of a decade) but the right button finally started flaking out too much to ignore any longer. (I guess there's a tiny chance I could crack it open and clean it up, but I have no idea how viable that is with one of these.)

Also if its broken you've not much to lose by trying to open it up and clean in.

I have had decent luck opening up mice to find that the tiny button on the circuit board was fine, but it was the plastic lever that transfered the click from the button you click on the mouse itself was dented making it so it didn't always click. A dab of super glue always fixed it, if you open it up and that's what is happening you'll see what I mean. Like was said you aren't going to break it anymore.
