Backhand posted:Plus, I simply don't trust professional writers at all, given how industry back-scratching works; independent youtube reviewers tend not to have that problem. Anyone remember that big fiasco with.... was it IGN? Several years ago? Firing one of their writers after he gave a game a bad review, because the company had shelled out a lot of advertising money for the game on their site? I don't believe for one second that that kind of thing doesn't still go on. At the very least, no company is going to bite the hand that feeds, and they all like getting early review copies. You're thinking of Jeff Gerstmann, formerly of Gamespot, founder of Giantbomb and that was over a decade ago. And lol if you think youtubers aren't way more blatantly paid off than games journalists. E: Not to say there's no merit to those videos. They're useful for raw gameplay if nothing else.

Rollersnake posted:Rats are totally unlike what I expected any kind of cage pet to be—they're like tiny, shortlived dogs. They're awesome, and I never want to keep any again—it feels horribly unfair for any animal with that much intelligence and personality to have such a short lifespan. Gambian pouched rats can live for around seven years but I'm pretty sure they're not really available for most people.

I decided to install the STALKER Demofsen mod on a whim. The main reason I know of its existence is that its titular creator was spamming the Anomaly moddb page a while back, accusing them of stealing. It's about the level of mod you'd expect from someone like that. Like a lot of other, modern mods for the game, it's based on Call of Chernobyl and I decided to start in the Cordon because it's what I know. So first off, it spawns you right next to an enemy base that you pretty much just have to run through if you wanna reach the rookie camp. That might be a CoC thing though, I dunno. Anyways, a few random thoughts and screens. -Enemies all have lifebars. In this case, it's the bar of a pseudodog which wasn't attacking me for some reason. Oh yeah, that's because pseudodogs and cats and maybe other monsters (but definitely not boars) seemed almost completely passive. They just wandered the landscape getting shot by me and NPCs.  -Speaking of the landscape, there was just a random section of Cordon that was littered with, like, 20 Anomalies in a 10 meter radius. They weren't there when I started another game in that area to test something, maybe something went wrong? The Cordon's also been extended eastward and it's just a whole load of bland nothing.  Which kind of seemed to be the thing about the mod in my short time with it. There's just a lot of empty landscape with not a lot of points of interest, or A-life. -Meet goth girl:  She's got some sort of untranslated backstory cutscene or something when you accept her quest to find a new gun. I skipped it. If you ask about your reward she punches you and starts shooting. I guess it's a sexual thing? Still, it could be worse, she could look like this:  Who I assume is another NPC, one I sadly didn't find. -There's a stripper pole in the bar in Rostok  And  -Anyway, I quickly got bored and quit, which does mean I wasn't able to find another notable character.  Geee, seems familiar...

Today, in celebration of its final part being released, I'm gonna talk about an Awful Mod that I love. Just Another Day is a long-running, satirical mod series for Freespace 2. It's got disco music. It's got impenetrable references to the FS2 modding community. It's got Derek Smart as a featured antagonist. And then it gets weird. And then it gets anime.  You see, I'd essentially divide the series between JADs1-3 and the later-developed JADs2.2.1-2.2.3. Yes this makes no sense, yes this is confusing. The former mods are a strange but comparatively traditional set of missions. You play as Alpha 1, the default callsign of the player character in almost every official and fan-made FS2 campaign, and must battle the machinations of FRED aka the game's editing program. In the latter series you play as three different anime teen archetypes (spoiled daddy's girl who's in love with the platonic ideal of Alpha 1, fame-obsessed hotshot ladykiller with a dark past, and completely bland, forgettable male character with brown hair) and must pilot experimental fighters to defend the galaxy against the devastating Beta Testers in a very obvious parody of Evangelion. Between campaign missions the mod features a fully functioning visual novel and it is a loooooooooooot.  Luckily, the writing is silly and even mostly funny, and the gameplay itself is a blast. JAD2.2 plays very differently from the base game in that many of its levels are boss fights, and your ships are nimble and borderline-OP. You're swatting down hordes of fighters with ridiculous firepower before hitting the berserk mode and doing the same to capitals. Despite its ridiculous nature, the things this mod does to the Freespace Open engine are nothing short of mindblowing. If you've got a copy of Freespace 2 and a tolerance for anime and disco, you owe it to yourself to give it a go. If you don't own a copy of Freespace 2 then I don't even consider you human.

Max Wilco posted:Can we get a link to it, or am I not seeing it in the post? Sorry. The easiest way to get FS2 mods, patches and mediaVPs up and running is to install the game and then just download Knossos. It's an all-in-one launcher that makes that stuff dead simple.

CommissarMega posted:Yeah, I never really got the criticism that RA3 was somehow cheesier than RA2, when the latter was the one where Soviet cosmonauts attacked a psychic's moon base, shooting down flying saucers with laser guns. And the mission before that had you capture a rocket on Easter Island, while trying to avoid laser Moai heads. Then at the end of the Soviet campaign (can't remember the Allies' ending, because they're boring Internet Wizard posted:It’s because RA3 added the Japanese with anime flavored units and we can’t have that in our serious game about future tech allies versus psychic soviets As for myself, I don't like RA3 as much as other C&C games because I just didn't think it was all that fun to play. Thought the economy was too restrictive and the units too fiddly.

Act of War was fun, I especially liked the Consortium's gimmick of going from middle eastern terrorists with RPGs and technicals to full on Cobra when you tech up and reveal your cloaking railgun tanks and high-tech Russian aircraft. I'm one of the few people who didn't hate AoA either.

OwlFancier posted:Act of Aggression is OK and was significantly improved by the big update they did that completely rejiggered how it worked. Yeah, come to think of it, was AoW the first game with an off-map airforce that was still controllable on the field rather than the designated airstrikes of C&C or COH? It's definitely become Eugen's calling card at least. Anyway on the topic of mods and RTS, here is one for Yuri's Revenge that's also an anime visual novel?? https://www.moddb.com/mods/ts-another-world
