Max Payne 'em up third person shooter El Paso Elsewhere is out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1546310/El_Paso_Elsewhere/ I wasn't really sold on the demo. The Max Payne style control and gameplay doesn't mesh well at all when most of your enemies are aggressive melee based creatures and the voice acting + original rap tracks were fucken weapons grade plutonium cringe.

It’s flawed and too long but it’s a better place to leave things than where they were. It’s a shame none of the scripts they had in the 90s were any good. Hopefully the Machine Games game is still happening. It’s been 20 years since there was a good Indy game. I’m not counting the Lego ones. It shouldn’t be this hard.

I'm having fun in El Paso, Elsewhere finding neat tricks like staking 4 vampires at once. You can definitely cheese some of the encounters but a good amount of them they do make sure you can't just backtrack out the room and get safe cover.

IIRC the El Paso Elsewhere voicework and music was done by the lead developer, who is... not a professional actor or rhymesmith. I liked the monologues in the demo. The guy strikes me as sincere, at least. Trying his best in earnest, even if he doesn't quite get there.

I have a feeling that the last exterminator is gonna be low key the next "big" throwback to sneak into our hearts. It just has that look and feel to it. On another hand, this guy makes me laugh a lot and I hope we at least get an early access release at Realms deep (whatever that is, I've only been doing this for like a year now) https://x.com/TreyPowell1964/status/1706898627841425591?s=20

this old man finally bought dusk. just beat it. you all know this but dusk rules sword is super good. purple KKK guy? doot em. bone horse? doot doot jog on. im a dangerous man with some swordy in my pocket. sometimes it seems not to follow its own rules about when I can charge a doot Powerups are mostly "oh that was short and sort of neat I guess" maybe once won me a fight i would not have won easily without. half the time i clear the room before even finding the fast shooting thing or time toy. I did stack fast shooting once, that was cool I guess for as long as my ammo lasted on the whole game is very easy on I Can Take it, I'll have to go up to UV next playthrough I guess if you bust a crystal of madness and you quicksave, then you quickload, the smoke does not persist? sucks. Did this once, fell off ledge so I reloaded, this time right in front of a huge crowd of dudes lookin at me w/no green (live notes) this mf gold rings turned the drat world sideways this is seriously hosed guy is laughing at me and im just floating around. ok couple more touches on that thing seems to have righted things. i love the big virus ball is just chilling in this home. strong myhouse vibes here. interesting map but glad to be done as above so below--little big land! gently caress this end boss I thought jacob was the end. i merked his silly rear end first try

I think it's health that determines doots. I never had issue with it not working though but once you build up your arsenal and morale, you'll rarely find yourself in trouble. Very build like

Finally started Turbo Overkill (bought it at launch for the discount) and I am loving it. It's got some of the best movement in any FPS. You're just so controllable! Great maps, and a ludicrously powerful arsenal but even on the middle difficulty enemies do enough damage to keep you on your feet. I also like that said enemies aren't just your standard Doom rehash that a lot of these games end using, and they're varied, memorable, and easy to read. My one complaint is that the sound design is underwhelming. It's just not punchy enough, even the chainsaw sounds wimpy. Still, other than that it's a hell of a game.

I did stack fast shooting once, that was cool I guess for as long as my ammo lasted If you move kinda quick on one of the Episode 3 levels you can stack three fast fire totems and it turns your pistols into insane ROF bullshit hoses. It's great and hilarious because it happens exactly once and would feels stupid if it happened a bunch. Brolander posted:on the whole game is very easy on I Can Take it, I'll have to go up to UV next playthrough Once you've gone through once or twice even Cereo Meido isn't that bad but it does give the game just that little bit of extra oomph. Duskmare is a stupid joke that I still enjoyed getting the achievement for.

Tried playing Invisible War out of sheer morbid curiosity a while back and I really haven't played any other game that's felt so deeply and obviously compromised to the point that it's more akin to a prototype or tech demo than a finished game. Specifically it feels uncannily like a really derpy prototype to Mass Effect more than anything to do with Deus Ex, and that's really the most interesting thing about it as far as the final product goes.

ONE FRICKING LEVEL? It's good though, lotta fun. Cons: Little dark, gimme a brightness adjuster or at least a flashlight, problem leads into number 2 which is Enemies a little hard to make out (mostly because it's loving dark, but might just be their overall color which is not helped because it's loving dark) Rebinds don't seem to work and I cannot stand pressing C for crouch at this point Guns feel great, pistols a little weak but the shotgun has some range to it and the submachine feels real good. Explodey disk didn't get used much but it works great when it does and even the punching felt good. Responsive movement too and at a good pace. You're not johnny turbo or V1 but you're not a snail either. Good jump SUPER build like environment, we're talking Duke Nukem in LA level good. Fun secret hunting Quality of life poo poo, like telling you that your action unlocked a shortcut so you don't have to backtrack across the map.

I like Invisible War but there's no doubting that it is a cataclysmically compromised. I wish I could peek into the parallel universe where they kept it on PC only because it would have absolutely ruled. It does sound like Ion Storm's unmade DX3 "Insurrection" was a major course correction in just about every way but they folded before it could enter into full production.
