DoctorOfLawls posted:I find myself enjoying Big Picture more and more, having hooked up my PC to my HDTV. In this context, which shooters are fine with a wireless 360 controller? I was thinking of Bioshock 2, Dead Space, the Metro series (2033/Last Light) and Wolfenstein, but I am not sure if the PC versions play well with a controller, or if I should stick to keyboard/mouse. I know all these games have console versions, but sometimes PC versions don't get along too well with controllers, or don't even support it (Mass Effect, for instance). Really as long as the game supports Xinput and you're not playing competitive multiplayer then the sky is the limit pretty much. I can't think of one that straight up plays badly with a controller.

It's a wonder it's as cohesive as it is: Oh man I want a Sleeping Dogs where you play as Lucy Liu. Didn't True Crime 2 have Snoop Dogg? Combine all that junk and i will give you money for it, game people. Also, Gunpoint is rad and Tom Francis is a cool guy and deserves your money.

My biggest complaint was that Sleeping Dogs threw money at you but there was like nothing to spend it on, even moreso than most other GTA-like games.

After playing Alpha Protocol I thought about maybe installing Mass Effect 2 and then I learned that they intentionally disabled gamepad support for the PC version. Thanks EA. Also I finally finished off the main Hard Reset campaign and kinda felt lukewarm about playing the expansion. Is it just me or is the level design in this game, like, extremely bad. No subtle visual indicators built into the map to guide the player, circuitous routes, expecting you to know when you're supposed to climb terrain when it's not obvious, endless enabling and disabling of force fields, it all got in the way of me running and gunning. Like a bad 3D Sonic that puts a bunch of bullshit in the way of goin' fast. The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Aug 27, 2014 |

Weird question but is it worth it to replay Painkiller on hard for the extra levels that are locked off or should I just jump into the remake?

Thanks EA. Hard reset was pretty boring, but that design issue you have was an homage to the older games who also didn't really have those things. Not saying it was anything other than lovely, but it's a design choice callback (from back when they didn't really have any design choices).

But DOOM at least had a map system. Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any kind of map function in Hard Reset, and the game was designed to be a lot more linear than a DOOM type game where the levels are fairly open and you are travelling back and forth. Hard Reset funnels you through a lot of corridors and sometimes some big outdoor 'arenas' where you fight mobs. But it can get labyrinthian and twisting. In the Atlas level there were several sections that looked like the same exact section but weren't, leading me to believe that they copied and pasted, Halo 1-style, to pad the level out :/

Any opinions about Crypt of the Necrodancer and Vector Thrust? Both look fairly interesting, despite being Early Access games.

Necrodancer is a fantastic game and one of the best rhythm games on PC. It's the majority of a full game already, as well, not some "early access" never-to-be-finished shell.

Super Time Force is  Much like Broforce, it is not very challenging, most of the time bruteforcing the level with the wave of your time travel copies works, but the timer provides much opportunity for raising your effectiveness. Probably a great game for speedrunning.

Drifter posted:Not saying it was anything other than lovely, but it's a design choice callback (from back when they didn't really have any design choices). Hard Reset was supposed to play just like an old-school FPS, and it really really didn't - the team just didn't seem to get what made those games fun (Bioshock Infinite's 1999 mode was similarly problematic IMO).

It felt like going back and playing a slightly more hectic version of Quake 2. I will also say, if you completed the main campaign, play the DLC!. It's a proper ending for the story and isn't absurdly long or terribly tedious. I enjoyed Hard Reset, but not to the point that I would do the foaming-at-the-mouth rabid fan boy stuff.

Thanks for Gemini Rue and Ittle Dew. Can't believe I actually got to take anything at all haha. First person to friend me on Steam gets E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy. If I already have you, just say whatever.  http://steamcommunity.com/id/Azran/ Also, since I'm playing Metro Redux right now, I feel it's fitting to link one of the best post-release trailers I've seen for a game (it was also made by one dude on its spare time). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2djDE_kwH3Q Azran fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Aug 27, 2014 |
