basic hitler posted:Red alert 2 is so good its ridiculous. Yuris revenge is good too. Fun multiplayer even though yuri was pretty broken iirc. Of cpurse i was 11 and didn't care about metas and being good I haven't played the game in over 10 years but I can still hear Yuri's VA saying his quotes in my head. "Predictable."

Bass Masters Classic on the Genesis was the only fishing game I've ever really enjoyed. Best part was finding a hidden pond on the map and catching a bass so big that it near took up the entire screen.

punk rebel ecks posted:What happens at the end of Mass Effect 3 and why we're people disappointed? I will never play these games so feel free to be as spoilerific as possible. The game basically leads up to a huge war but ends with the player picking from three options for what ending they wanted: A) Let bad guys win, everyone dies and cycle starts again. B) Kill bad guys but it will separate all the species forever C) Do the fusion dance and merge living life with computers or something like that. Overall they are not bad endings exactly since before finishing the game I guessed to myself how it could possible end and those were basically the three scenarios I figured could happen. The problem is that these ending are baked in while the game makes a big fuss throughout about uniting all the different races into a single fighting force to win. In the end it doesn't matter if Shepard gets everyone working together or pisses everyone off. The end is the same. People were disappointed because they were expecting something like the final mission in ME 2 where the outcome depended heavily on acquiring upgrades for the Normandy and building up your relation with your squad mates. And also some people were mad because they wanted another option where Shepard singly handily saved the universe by him/herself and everyone lived happily ever after. Also in the original version the cinematics between the various endings were pretty much identical with just a color filter tossed over them to make them look different. They later patched them to make them look a bit different but it didn't help that much. Vakal fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Aug 9, 2018 |

punk rebel ecks posted:I mean this sounds bad but is VERY typical for WRPGs. Deus Ex and Bethesda Fallouts come to mind. Like mosts thing gamer related it got hugely blown out of proportion. When I first heard the anger about the ME 3 ending being bad I figured it was going to be something along the lines of "it was all a simulation" or end on a massive cliff hanger. Instead it is just a standard ending while people that invested way to much of themselves into the series were expecting something life changing I guess. That said the Citadel DLC is really good and provides much better closure to the series than the actual ending.

Oscar Wild posted:Yeah, a horribly balanced game, with a couple of bullshit difficulty spikes and the traditional bioware moral choices, but so much fun. My favorite part of the open palm/closed fist system was when you meet an ancient evil ghost who would refuse to help you unless you could prove you were a follower of the closed fist path. Normally you could bluff you way through enough that it would give you some dumb fetch quest to prove yourself, but if you had been choosing the "evil" options to everything up to that point, your character would give a nihilistic speech about the futility of life and the inevitable rendering of the world to dust to the point where even the ghost went "Holy poo poo dude, you're way more hardcore than me." and faded away.

poverty goat posted:mass effect 3 is a really good game if you just pretend it's a mass effect 2 dlc where you go straight to tuchanka and kill a reaper and probably also that piece of poo poo traitor mordin, because everything that happens with the reaper and the thresher maw on tuchanka is badass and should have been the finale where you destroy the reapers once and for all I think the game would have been better if they would have used the plot point from the Citadel DLC where the main antagonist is a clone of Shepard. Instead of just being a stand alone bad guy they would be leading the Reaper's army. I mainly want this because it would be amazing to be able to choose the appearance of both the hero and villain at the same time.

When Andromeda was first announced I thought for sure it was going to be a MMO like the Star Wars Old Republic. It just seemed like a natural fit to allow the player base to make their own character from any of the alien species in the ME universe and have degenerate cyber sex with each other.

poverty goat posted:glory kills are stupid & repetitive and ruin the pace I think it would be better if they could only be done if the Doom Guy is below 25-30% health. That way you still have a way to recover health in a pinch without running away to find a health kit, while also making the glory kills less common so they still sort of feel special. As it is, having every single enemies flash yellow when they are near death makes the whole game seem cartoony.

AGGGGH BEES posted:Agreed, and the new Unreal they're working on removed all of the cool mobility options from 2k4 and thus sucks. My dream game will always be a version of Unreal Tournament that placed emphases more on the team management aspect of the series than just the combat. UT2K4 had a little bit of that, mainly just picking up new team members as they came available, but I always wanted sometime more realistic like having a set budget to work with and having to work around player contracts, trades, and injuries with the goal of having to build up a team from nothing and trying to win the Liandri tournament over the course of several seasons.

food court bailiff posted:the batmobile really was cool af and if they didn't frontload so many of the mandatory batmobile sections at the beginning people would probably look at it as one of the best features of the game I had high hopes for the bat mobile since one of the first puzzles you run into after getting it involves remote controlling it to blow a hole through a wall and manually pulling on cables to move a broken elevator up and down. Too bad that is pretty much the only bat mobile puzzle of that kind in the entire game and the rest is just shooting loving drone tanks and some racing challenges.

Is maxing out a video card for long periods a bad thing? I have a GTX 970 and it can usually run everything I've thrown at it at high settings with little issue, but some newer graphics heavy games make the fans on it go full tilt and it becomes quite loud. On one hand I feel like this is too hard on the card, but then again the games never freeze or crash so one would think that the video card would be engineered for this sort of thing.

Ok, I'll get a temperature monitor software and see what the card is running at. I'd say about 90% of games run whisper quiet, but the odd one just makes the card go nuts. The most notable that comes to mind is The Forest which is an ok looking game graphics wise, but I have a feeling it may not be the most optimized thing.

Shibawanko posted:I never played Mass Effect but the fact that the main character is a short haired man named "Shephard" puts me off to the game. Off the top of my head I can think of like 3 other leader types with that name from fiction, it's the most generic rear end Bioware rear end choice of name. Lost was huge when ME1 came out so I always assumed they used the name because of Jack Shepard on that show. The male version even looks similar.

I'm actually enjoying Far Cry 5 quite a bit. None of the other games in the series really kept my attention for very long, but FC5 kind of feels like the closest thing we are ever going to get to a modern Redneck Rampage game and it's kind of fun just wandering around exploring trailer parks and other Hickville USA locations.
