Also hot off the press, another colony management game/city builder kinda game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1538570/Patron/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13bdMZRygP4 Zero idea if it's good or not. I'm not seeing anything about it anywhere but the supposed social aspect sounds interesting, if maybe a bit of a buzzword.

Yo, more people need to try out Splitgate. It's free and easily my favorite multiplayer FPS since forever. Having a portal gun in a Halo-like multi is even more fun than it sounds. Come to the thread, we need more people and for this to spread, just give it a chance: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3975900 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yj3QF4hh2o&t=21s Palpek fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Aug 10, 2021 |

as someone who has replaced the ancient "start to crate" rating system with a new paradigm for current day multiplayer first person shooters, what's the "start to racial slur" score on splitgate?

There's no text chat, only voice chat. I've played it pretty casually for about a week or so and I hardly hear anyone even using voice chat, let alone spout racial slurs, but maybe people talk more in the ranked matches. You have to be level 20 to do ranked matches though which I'm not yet, so I couldn't say.

This looks pretty neat (hopefully you can turn on Chinese voices with English subtitles) https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/1425126076766900226 There’s something with a similar title on Steam currently that I think is the prequel? Doesn’t appear to have an English localization, though. Chinese game development (or at least its exposure to the rest of the world) seems to be ramping up big time.

Carrier Command 2 was just released. Surprised they're going for $50 for it. I like this early review: I, too, use dollars per MB as the only true measure of game quality. Anyway, game looks rad as hell, probably gonna get it tonight.

Maybe the addition of portals on top of the usual gameplay takes up that attention slot in the brain or it's just a temporary thing. Either way, no slurs heard yet. I was going to say the same thing, I don't think I've heard a single person speaking yet but I have seen some "gg"'s in text chat after games. You can also mute individuals in game so even if someone was being an rear end in a top hat it's a click away to mute them. Splitgate really is cool as gently caress and the "halo... WITH PORTALS!!" thing sounds kinda hackneyed when you hear it but in practice it really works. I think if they skimped on either the Halo or the Portal mechanics this wouldn't be as engaging but the combat really does feel like authentic fast paced Halo combat with all the same game modes and the portals have what feels like the exact same satisfying physics that Portal has. When you combine the two you can do some really inventive stuff and it turns a lot of these game modes into a completely different beast with portals all over the place. I think the first time that I successfully fooled someone by hopping out of a portal behind them to shoot them in the back while they were going forward to advance on me I knew I was hooked.

Palpek posted:Yeah, they could have easily gone with some dumb idea like giving the portal gun a cool down or have a limited ammount of portals per team. But nope, everybody portal anywhere as much as you want instantly, run through enemy portals while you're at it too. It owns so hard. Don't the portals only work in certain areas/walls of each map?

At the risk of opening up the wormiest of cans of worms, Fallout 4 with all the DLC is on sale for ten bucks. Like any rational person I love New Vegas and I quite liked 3 even with its flaws. I am not a person who is particularly attached to Fallout lore (I didn't play the first games until way after they were canonized and thought they were mostly fine). Was the initial criticism of 4 from crazy Fallout people, or is it legitimately just not very good?

Play posted:Don't the portals only work in certain areas/walls of each map? Yup, but they're all over the place. It's loving great. I always set up really loving cheeky sniper spots where I can shoot from my portal into the most wide open area of the map. I'm also very fond of having a portal watching my back, so people think they're getting the drop on me when suddenly teleports behind you

What style of shooting does Splitgate have? Is it more COD/CS style where folks go down in a couple hits or bullet sponges that jump and strafe around a bunch like UT/Enemy Territory etcOzFactor posted:At the risk of opening up the wormiest of cans of worms, Fallout 4 with all the DLC is on sale for ten bucks.

The main complaints I still hear now that the fuss has died down is that the writing is mediocre and the crafting/settlement building feels out of place. Probably depends on what you enjoyed in the previous games.

Depends on your weapon. The Battle Rifle should kill someone in four bursts to the head, which isn't instantaneous. There's usually plenty of time to react.

I ran into one pair of young-sounding kids who were talking in vc (probably queued together). One of them was really apologetic about how he kept bumping his mic and making lots of noise whenever he reached to flip the on-off switch so he could talk. He was pretty happy when I showed him what push-to-talk was. RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Aug 10, 2021 |

Fallout 4 is fine, it's just a 7/10 game tbh. The writing is mostly not good verging on farcical at times but some of the quests are decent, the shooting is okay, settlements are irritating or ignorable without mods, most of what you loot is literally garbage to feed crafting and settlements, the weapon system was made more procedural and modular and its not well done and uninteresting, the crafting systems are bleh without modding. If you liked 3 and just want to run around shoot super mutants and explore ruins it's fine. Hub Cat fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Aug 10, 2021 |

Was the initial criticism of 4 from crazy Fallout people, or is it legitimately just not very good? I went pretty deep into it itt a few months back, mentioning that there's really nothing like it for what it is despite all the significant problems with a lot of the game. If you vibe the open world explore experience there's not much comparable. Settlement and crafting feel unnecessary but given a huge amount of importance, its really more of a go 100% in or bare bones, there's not a lot of middle ground and you need to take feats to really get into it. Crafting is especially bad as its kind of required to keep up with the level growth of enemies as there's no easy way to remove good mods from trash weapons to out onto a better weapon. If you take to crafting abilities you're stuck with pretty underpowered weapons in general and the loot rng is mostly junk. Other then that, not a lot major problems. Its a typical mile wide inch deep open world Bethesda game. You might want some mods but I didn't use any.

It's not very good the story is bad the quest design is uninspired and it's systems are only half compleat you could mod the hell out of it but if you've got other games or just other things to do with your time I would not recommend it.
