Johnny Joestar posted:enemies really aren't that spongey, and in a lot of cases might even be easier to take out than some of those absolutely awful meat wall enemies in 1. also the actual firing and melee poo poo feels way better than in 1, which helps, because the guns aren't weak pieces of crap. I had heard that 2 had story problems before going into it, but even knowing that beforehand I was surprised how bad it was. It’s practically incoherent, I didn’t even really understand what was going on in parts. It’s baffling considering the first one had decent writing.

Farm Frenzy posted:yea its a huge shame because theres some fun/stupid movement mechanics but i gave up when it started feeling like it was recycling content about two hours in The very first sidequest you get put on makes you realize there is basically no difference between a side quesr and story mission except that the story can have bosses. The guns felt absolutely pathetically weak until I was like half-way in and then every gun suddenly was such a massive jump in damage that the enemy scaling got screwed up the other way.

They will on the 14th, unless something really really weird happened and delayed their DSP simulation fixes.

Johnny Joestar posted:what is rune Rune: Viking Warlord is a third person melee action game (I guess there's some platforming). The single player has intense NORSE COMBAT ACTION! You can pick up any old weapon around you, and even throw them. You eat lizards and dunk on skeletons. The multiplayer was some of the best melee combat for it's time. However, it always devolved into one ultra practiced rear end in a top hat who could do the jump spin combo with some huge weapons.

I still kinda wanna give that a looksee, based on what little I played of the first game, though it's currently exclusive to the Epic Games Store and while I don't really have issues with that store I also don't usually play the games I get from there (the free ones anyway, I haven't put money into it ever).

I'm going to say that giving Rune 2 a wide berth for now is a good idea, since it launched literally unfinished and they only just released a patch to actually finish the first part of the campaign mode today. Human Head basically grifted a ton of money from the game's publisher and then bolted the second they had something resembling a finished product, and they're getting sued for not telling the publisher anything about getting bought by Bethseda and for tripling the cost/time of development over what was agreed upon to start with. It's very good on the publisher that they managed to put together enough resources to start patching the game into something actually playable though.

Saw a gif on Reddit for this retro shooter called Fashion Police Squad. You fight the villains of fashion faux pas with a sewing machine gun. https://youtu.be/mq9E8uCDSJI Seems silly but I think it fits here, it’s on steam too. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1319460/Fashion_Police_Squad/

Fanatical has a bunch of older FPS (and a couple of new indies) in a new bundle https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/build-your-own-f-p-s-bundle I know Devil Daggers got some love ITT and Bunker Punks looks like it might be fun. edit: if you don't mind the chunky pixel aesthetic Still Not Dead might be a good third pick.

Bunker Punks is unfortunately not very good. Boring environments, boring enemies, boring guns, and bad procgen.

I liked Halo 1 and 2 quite a bit, but checked out before Halo 3 came around. And with how fantastic MCC has been for Halo 1 and 2, think I might just finally get around to FINISHING THE FIGHT

So which of the MCC Halo games actually has an active MP playerbase/is the best one, on PC specifically? Is there any point in installing the MP for all of the games?

They all use the same menu interface and matchmaker system; you can search for matches in different games at the same time, so I'd imagine you're more likely to find something if you happen to have more than one installed. I'd probably guess 2 currently has the largest playerbase though right now.

Agreed. I’d happily drop $60 to play all 4 Valve games on the one console less powerful than the 9800 I first ran HL2 on.
