Dominic White posted:They only really made two (2.5 if you count the Ultimate Carnage re-release), and they were well regarded. The third is a shovelware shitheap by a third-party studio. 1, 2, Ultimate Carnage (The best one) and Next Car Game. From what I remember 1 had a really good reception, it did have some cool stuff going for it. Off-road racing with lots of physics objects littering the tracks and if you smashed hard enough you flew out of the car!  It is pretty loving cool for 2004. So a sequel was made.Ultimate Carnage was a 'next-gen' remake for 360/PC of Flatout 2. Next Car Game is interesting. They held a Kickstarter for it. They wanted $350,000. It was bombing hard so they cancelled it. They got up to $81,772. So they released a little demo of what they had to get pre-orders and boy that was successful so they took it to the next step. They released it on Steam Early Access. It apparently made over $1,000,000 in one week alone.

Yodzilla posted:Flatout 1 holds a special place in my heard because 2 and 2.5 got rid of vehicle damage affecting handling. In 1 your shocks would blow and your car would start handling all crazy once it got beat to hell whereas it was all superficial in 2 and 2.5. Thankfully Next Car Game goes back to being more like 1 and Destruction Derby. I'm pretty sure it's still around in Ultimate Carnage but it's not as severe. Your car can start to limp and wobble but it's not race ruining.

Xaris posted:I've been craving a WW2 MP game since I'm a bit sick of modern-military not-iraq/russia games. I just tried this game called Heroes & Generals and holy poo poo this must be the most Pay 2 Win game I've ever had the displeasure of trying. Literally everything is locked behind gold (which you get 1-2 per game and each round is about 30 minutes, most things cost ~1k Gold ($10) to unlock except some things which can be paid using Credits) and those people that just pay $10 - $20 for a plane/tank will dominant everyone that's running around with shity starter guns (and the starter guns are really loving bad). Sidegrades are a foreign concept  ).The starter semi-auto rifle is nuts if you're a good shot at medium range. The dedicated infantry AT launcher is shitballs expensive (Both credits and gold) to stop every player but of course that doesn't stop some people. Paying for a Heavy Tank isn't an instant Win Button itself, they only get to use that Heavy Tank in a battle if it has a Heavy Tank battalion. The worst/hardest part is the counter, your force might not have a Heavy or Anti Tanks for your match *Insert something about the Generals part of the game about this* Also the dedicated infantry AT thing as well. Xaris posted:I was referring to Gold which is about 1-2 from what I can tell. Also I might be missing something but I can't buy everything with Credits. i.e. Here is the first medium tank. And to unlock "Medium Armor 5" which is the alternate way to unlock this, you need to have already owned a Medium Armor tank which... you have to buy. Unless I'm missing something. Of course you can just pay for them but then you don't have a Light or Medium tank.

Speaking of Bundle Stars: http://www.bundlestars.com/store/shadowrun-online/ Yeah no... It's the Jagged Alliance Online dev team as far as I can tell. Being a sane person I ignored the Jagged Alliance part in the title and it still played like a tablet lite-strategy game. But this time they want money upfront!

folgore posted:It's not a decent concept. A deadly serious portrayal of North Korea invading and occupying the US is just ridiculous. There was never anything tongue-in-cheek about the scenario from the start--just take it all with a straight face and then press A to hide in the mass grave. What made that quick-time event even more massively stupid was there was tons of other places to hide in that area too. A proper openish-world Red Dawn would be pretty cool to play  Freedom Fighters was super fun but still linear in the end.What I'm saying is Homefront 2 sounds like it could be pretty awesome, don't ruin the chance of a diamond being found in a turdpile dammit. Just as long as they don't add super mutants into the end-game.

fatherboxx posted:Sweet, it looks like a modern Shadow Watch and I am always happy to support Klei's cool games streak. Dex looks drat amazing but yeah, only core game stuff is in it, no story/missions to speak off. When is Wasteland 2 going gold? I really need to peek through the older EA games to see if any are worth picking up now. EA games I do have and can report on: -Space Engineers is super excellent. Easily on par with Prison Architect and KSP on how EA should work. -Running With Rifles is slowly moving along but even then feels pretty complete for  apart from one thing: I need to check on though is if you can play Vs Online Campaign, before all the humans had to be on the same side. There's a bit of mod support for it now too.-Prison Architect is still chugging along too. It's by the Uplink/Defcon guys so it's not going to be dropped and forgotten. -Spacebase DF-9 is also chugging along slowly too. Pretty sure Double Fine have actually said this is a back-burner game they work on though. -Planet Explorers is a thing I guess. I've play a chunk of it but I haven't reached the end of content like others have so I'm not too sure about it. I waste my time on building dumb superguns and silly cars. -The Golf Club got it's official release. A drat pretty looking golf sim with an easy to use course editor. Only EA game I remember I have being burned by is StarForge. They're still kind doing something with it I think maybe.

Hitman 2 was a good puzzler shootymans. I never remember having too much issue with the Snow ninja sniper levels either. 2 actually had more interesting assassinations too. BM just had targets hide in a corner if you went loud. 2 had fail conditions. One of the early assassinations was killing two Russian officers in a park. If you were caught out they'd try to escape. I liked placing car-bombs on the cars, startling them so they'd run to them, then they'd explode.

DoombatINC posted:On the subject of Red Faction, Red Faction: Origins is apparently a thing that exists I've been playing Darkwind: War On Wheels. It's less of a video game and more a digitized tabletop game. It's Car Wars: The RPG Video Game, the computer does all the hard movement stuff for you but that's it mostly. Getting a thing/race/deathrace/combat/scout in general started is confusing. You need to bounce between your Browser/Steam Web and the Game Client to organize cars and your gang and whatever. You have to wait on the game, the game doesn't wait for you, etc. Also the damage your gangers can take have a Space Station 13 level of "Not needed but great" detail. Like crashing so hard your face mashes into your brain.   Permadeath for your gang members, injuries everywhere (From bruised ribs to losing toes from shrapnel), drug addictions. It's not for most people at all but if you're into that kind of thing, it's cool.

How much game get you get out of Firefall before it starts to suck/supergrind? Also how lag-friendly is it? I need to download and play this on Australian internet. I have mates playing it at the moment but it's also an 8GB download (Which I assume needs to patch too).

Carecat posted:There's two major questions, do you enjoy the basic gameplay and are you ready to drop $25? The combat is the whole of the game and whilst there is some variety it's not thrown at you. If you like the game you then need to drop $25 for a vehicle or the travel times are going to burn you out quickly, well before the free one you get at level 25.

SynthOrange posted:Huh sounds and looks janky as hell but if I can put up with it, this sounds like my kind of poo poo. Non-League Race (SS, 4, 6min) Non-League Combat (SS, 2, 10min) Quali for Deathrace League (GW, 0, 1hr 20min) First part is just the name of the event. There's leagues and ladders and custom run events and all that jazz. -The first thing in the brackets is the event location. SS is where you start and where most of the players seem to be. If you don't have any gang members in GW (Or whatever it is), you can't enter the event. -Second is just the amount of human players that have registered for the event. Note that you don't have to actually turn up if the event. If you register but don't show, the AI will control your car/gangers for you, this can be a good/bad thing. -Third is important. It's how long until the event actually starts up. You join for something over an 1 hour away, you have to wait until the event starts to actually play it. This is the biggest hang up for new players. Vets roll off how to register for an event but never mention you have to wait for it to start. To Vets, this is a normal thing but for Average Q New-From-Steam-Guy they want to know why their game isn't starting nownownownownow. Story time though: Today I was returning back from a Scout event (Players vs. NPC Gang combat), nearly everyone scored a beaten up loot car too after shirting a fight that wasn't in our favour. They spawned 15 behind use, we had 13 cars and most of them rentals, not to mention it was a sand map. After running away for a bit we managed to turn the tide of the fight and we didn't even lose a car. I shot a fleeing-in-foot ganger in the head with my Car Rifle too. Someone else ran another guy down and instantly out him into a coma. One of the Vets got his guy out of his car and was just wrecking poo poo up with his rifle. Unfortunately we pulled a Return event (Combat event on the trip back to town). This means you're fighting fresh gang cars in your own beat up damaged, low-ammo cars. So we decided to bolt for the Town Gates instead. Now I had a pretty easy time, my rental was mostly undamaged and my loot car was also in good shape so I was able to get there easy. But one other guy. He had a rental plus two loot cars. He flipped one car on the first bend, lost his second car turning around to recover the first, and his third when trying to limp away with his banged-up looted truck. Some of the more experienced guys hung back to slow the attacking gang down, an armoured up van and SUV. They kept on telling us to run, don't worry about them, they can break off and escape easily. They chipped in some cash to the guy that lost his rental and his two loot cars to cover some cost for his bad luck.

Big open world to drive/cruse around in. You can 'drive across the USA'. Think TDU with Ubisoft staples (Bad shoe-horned story that constantly reminds you to pay attention to it, looking for a thing that reveals activities to do in the local area, etc). Controls are kinda Arcade with Boatercar, at least that's the feel for the starter cars they want you to use. It scratches my TDU/Forza Horizon itch.

Yodzilla posted:Except it's really not. It's meant to be a wacky on and off-road racer with jumps and secrets in the woods and poo poo. It feels like they wanted to make a cross between Burnout Paradise and FUEL but they weren't allowed or didn't want to completely go all the way with it. Yodzilla posted:For example, there are ramps all over the goddamn place. You'd think that if your wheels on one side of the vehicle go off you'd kinda flip over sideways right? Nope. The game has some crazy Gran Turismo 1 style "you can't flip over no matter how hard you try" fake physics going on. Go off a ramp into a flatspin without flipping over? That's an instant crash without even letting you try to land.  Maybe, just like, ramps are cool?But I haven't tried flipping a car yet honestly. Can you roll one by turning too hard? Or this could be the issue that games with licensed cars have had for ages and a half: quote:"Unfortunately, different manufacturers have radically different hang-ups. Also, the hang-ups are not proportional to the real-world prestige of the brand or its importance to the Forza franchise. I'm not going to name names, but I will rant a little bit. That spin/crashing thing I have no clue, but if it was trying to be Burnout it wouldn't crash you out. TL;DR The Crew is Test Drive Unlimited 3: Ignore the Moron-story harder, not Burnout For Speed: Hot Nostalgia Cash-in. And that the TDU games were wonky things that appealed to a group of racing gamers that just want to cruise and dicks with mates. Having said that, World of Diving is out on Early Access now. Enough features in game to worth nabbing now?
