Also, hey what's the goon take on Turbo Overkill (not to be confused with Ultrakill)? I see it's hitting 1.0 and will get a price increase after launch week. For what's worth, I am a middle aged man who has played FPS games since I was a kid and DUSK is my favourite one from all time.

credburn posted:What's the next main entry in the Assassin's Creed franchise after Black Flag? Might be because I played it right after Black Flag and Freedom Cry and was all sailed out, but its genuinely a worse version of Black Flag. I'd skip to Syndicate. ... Whatever happened to the one guy chronicling his playthrough of the entire rear end Creed series in this thread? A lesson in the dangers of not skipping AC games.

Xander77 posted:Rogue. Rogue isn’t a mainline entry. It’s the game they made for previous gen consoles reusing a shitton of assets just to have a game out. It quite literally is just a worse version of Black Flag, exclusively for the PS3 and 360. The next mainline game after Black Flag is Unity.

I see it's hitting 1.0 and will get a price increase after launch week. i've played about an hour and change of the full game and i really like it so far. it's extremely fast paced but on hard it's not too hard so far. the chainsaw slide is the great equaliser, it's defense and offense in one and you end up chewing through a lot of enemies with it. it's very satisfying to blast a big dude with your shotgun and finish him off with a chainsaw slide. the weapons so far feel good, they're kind of your standard variety but they all have alternate fire modes which changes things up, everything from lock-on to sticky grenades to a flamethrower. looks really good and movement feels amazing. it kinda feels like the kind of fps a lot of people wanted doom eternal to be, in that a lot of the RPG/arbitrary things about that game feel more organic in this one, and there's no rock/paper/scissors weakness system to the weapons. you still have minor RPG things like implants (e.g. get armour from killing enemies with your chainsaw leg) and you unlock a missile button on cooldown but it feels pretty pure all things considered. the levels so far also seem cool. i'm not sure if it's true but seems like they're quite open-ended and there's a lot of ways to get around them.

It also has ~60k players and is in top 20 of most played games on Steam, so I think the bad reviews are a bit of a modern "boycott CoD II" meme.

It's a free-to-play game so I can imagine a lot of people with gripes about Overwatch in the past years have come out of the woodwork to do a quick drive-by review. I understand it.

John Murdoch posted:I get your point, but also the MW2 boycott image has been wildly misinterpreted for years. Huh, in what way? And because this is internet: that's a genuine question. I never had much interest in military shooters (demonstrated by the fact that I confused CoD II and MW2  ) and never saw the boycott image in other context than "players are clamoring for boycott of a game, but are playing it anyways".

also COD does have dedicated servers now so evidently the backlash to P2P was strong enough to affect their bottom line, they're not paying for those servers out of the goodness of their hearts

I thought it was as good as gone back when it was a big deal in…MW2?? Memory is fuzzy, the last COD game I really enjoyed with multiplayer was MW1, felt like the perfect level of pacing. So modern COD titles on PC have server browsers and such? If that’s true im pleasantly surprised. I don’t recall seeing it in COD WW2 but I guess that game is old by COD standards and I also played it for 30 minutes before uninstalling it forever. I think it was part of a humble bundle.

there's no server browser, but the newer games matchmake onto dedicated servers rather than using P2P i think the P2P netcode is still in there but only as a last resort if no proper servers are available community servers / server browsers are most definitely gone for good repiv fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Aug 12, 2023 |

What's the easiest way to find a screenshot folder Steam seems to have lost track of? Game is Grim Dawn if that helps. I'm guessing maybe this is related to me uninstalling it before the Steam UI change?

Possible compromised account: I got a message from "XerxesTireIronDada," who is listed as a member of the SA Goons and SA Gaming Garbage asking me to vote for a logo for his bud's team, although they didn't get around to providing a presumably account-stealing link. Until now, I didn't realize it was possible for someone not on your friends list to send you a message. Maybe if they're part of the same group it works?

Sure they deserve a lot for past crap they have done, and sure other companies have their hate groups like EA or Konami or 343/Bungie. But I don't see constant videos complaining about every game or patch release from EA or such, Hating on Blizzard gets clicks, so you get streamers making videos every time they fart.
