How is endless legend? I got a copy of the base game ages ago but never got into it because I was already deep into age of wonders 3. Is the expansion worth snapping up?

Isn't Enforcer: Police Crime Action that one unintentionally hilarious police simulator with procedurally-generated crimes that borders on being a Fumblecore game for how obtuse it is?

I think the Double Fine bundle adds up the discount differently from the others so far.

It's 80% at three titles, 83% at four and 85% at five. Weren't the others something like 75%, 80% and 85%?

So if I wanted to play a vaguely RPG/strategyish dystopian-cyberpunk-future™ game, but only had enough cash to buy one of Satellite Reign or Invisible, Inc - is there a clear winner? Satellite Reign looked more appealing at first glance but some of the reviews have been a little mixed, saying that the world is kind of static and the stealth is a bit janky.

Maybe take a look at Shadowrun, too? I'm guessing you already played all three though, or at least two good ones.

No, they applied the same discounts. But here, those discounts cancel out the existing discounts, as you'll see if you try to make a bundle of three of the cheapest games.

And it's multiple times better then MGSV judging by how people are reacting to the last 10-20 hours of that game, so come get in on some wholesome bandit murder.

At least Albedo is kind of interesting, it's a very janky first person P&C adventure with very mild shooting but super surreal oddly colorful visuals

it ain't worth much more than $1 tho

No. People who like Mad Max just have some weird vendetta against it because Mad Max came out on the same day and got worse reviews.

Some guy came into the thread earlier and started complaining about how horribly disappointing the second half of MGSV was in response to a couple people saying they really like MGSV.

Personally I think both MGSV and Mad Max seem like cool games, and I will play them both.

Someone in LP played like thirty minutes of it. It's not nearly as "so bad it's good" as it sounds, it's "so bad the game barely registers that you're doing anything."

Reminds me of the original Police Quest. If you didn't do some really specific stuff or if you typed "shoot criminal" without typing to unholster your gun first, you usually died.

Wouldn't you also shoot your dick off if you reholstered without typing 'safety on' or whatever?

I believe so. It was a Sierra game, they were notorious for dick moves like that. Sounds like Enforcer is a spiritual successor but with randomly generated crimes.

Actually that's not an adventure game thing it's just a realistic depiction of a disease that commonly affects police, Glock leg.

What are the chances Killing Floor 2 is going to become a sequel and less of KF1 "HD"?
I'm pretty bummed that the level designs are still a claustrophobic mess with lovely lighting.
I'm surprised all the dull monsters from one are back and they added uh no new ones?
New boss is as craptacular as the old one.
And if you ever hated being on a near wipe where only a high level medic is the last man standing in KF1 that issue isn't resolved.
High level medics in 1 and now 2 are the fastest things in the game. They never run out of health. and as long as they are not brain dead they can kite murder the entire wave.
However they have no AOE weps beyond their grenades, so they will take a few years solo grinding all the xp while you have nothing to do. GJ Tripwire.

I'm pretty sure a car bomb went off if you didn't walk around your car to check it or something equally silly. Because police car bombings are always in the news.

To put it in perspective, you can probably beat Ground Zeroes' main mission before the first cutscene of Phantom Pain is over

So, 5 or 6 hours then? :haw:

Honestly the cutscenes are the main reason I've avoid MGS games so far, they always looked too long, too silly and a little incomprehensible to me. I heard that in 5 they're not quite as bloated though?

There's less time between "Here are cutscenes" and "You can now move around" for sure, but the entire first hour and a half of MGS5 is kind of a whole interactive cutscene/experience type deal.
