all of the eikon fights after the first one seem lame tbh. that one is cool and it makes it seem like it's some giant monsters fighting but after that it's like ifrit just moves around like it's regular person sized

friend wants a novel multiplayer game and has suggested hunt: showdown. $16 on steam during the summer sale. looks kind of interesting from reading the wikipedia article, guess it’s an early version of this “extraction shooter” genre that I’ve never played. opinions?

lots of people like it. it's that sort of PvPvE game where i think its like 8 people fight around npcs for loot and then end up fighting each other to escape kinda thing. if that sounds up your wheelhouse, go for it

personally i don't really like small scale PvPvE games but thats just me.

Hunt is generally widely recommended and has survived for years in genre where most die quickly much less multiplayer games in general. Also great sound design and menu music, the aesthetic in general is great, weapons feel gritty and nasty and a flock of crows sounds like the worlds ending

That said, my friends and I all bounced off it since there's permadeath for your randomly rolled characters after you hit a certain level, and you get perks and abilities from leveling up. They arent overwhelmingly powerful but in a game where a couple shots kills you taking an extra hit can mean a lot and you can get mown down by high level vets shooting you through thin walls and crap. It does feel great when you kill them yourself but since they probably have stats and skills you need luck to do it

I'd still say it's good but I'd mentally put yourself in almost a rogue like state of mind and just do your best with what's given to you when starting out. If you're the type who gets sweaty quickly you might rage out quick

it's pretty good I've heard, I'll never play it though because it's one of those skinner box shooters like siege and destiny and I have friends who won't shut up about it

It's selling incredibly well on Steam, good for the devs. The game oozes charm and the care put into it shows. Let's get a whole Dave franchise going. Dave the Caver, Dave the Spacer, Dave the Poster.

Holy hell Fallout 4 sucks. They learned nothing from New Vegas. Slightly improved gunplay isn't worth whatever the gently caress they were trying to do.

It looks about ten thousand times better than new Vegas, the ugliest game ever made. F4 is the first 3d fallout with art design

But yeah obvs the quest and story stuff isn't as good, though I did enjoy accidentally blowing my sons head off

No argument there. New Vegas is, like all Bethesda games, an eyesore. Even Fallout 4 is kinda ugly, but at least it's semi-modern ugly. But I'll cut New Vegas some slack since managed to take Fallout 3's jury-rigged Oblivion crap and forcibly reshape it into something resembling a Fallout game by making your choices matter beyond getting an extra 30 bottle caps for a quest if you put points into Barter.

Meanwhile Fallout 4 was designed by folks who thought Skyrim's character-building was too crunchy and difficult and just wanted to give Fallout fans what they really want: to be a straight middle-aged shootman in a Joss Whedon movie. You could also be a woman too, I guess, but she's not allowed to be a shootman! That would be unacceptable!

I actually think f4 had pretty fun builds but I only played it once ages ago and didn't finish it. There were some neat luck ninja builds with the auto crit, I remember my friend was playing very differently to my melee build

I guess everyone was just tired of Bethesda slop by then but f4 was an improvement on f3 in every way which is not always a given with AAA games.
My partners dad played like 10, 000 hours of it somehow, base building stuff maybe
Never played 76 though.

I certainly thought the gameplay and rpg sfuff was better than Outer Worlds, Obsidians own Beth-fallout knockoff.
Tho I do remember f4 had a reeally stupid speech system where it was RNG so I'd just quicksave before every skill check and reload until I passed it.

My MC wasn't a white man either, you chose that, your white gun grasping hands aren't clean here
