Func_Msgboard: Other PC Games Thread.

So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

wow, that looks great!
after freespace 2 came out, it felt like space combat games just dried up. the only thing i remember was the x games (x2 and x3 were after freespace, i think) but they were a little weird because although the game was heavily focused on combat, the ui didn't provide the tools to really make it enjoyable like the freespace games did.
this naumachia though looks to have a very nice interface and a responsive feel (as much as you can tell from a video).

The world feels very real in those videos. Nicely done. A lot of space games have a sort of detached sense to them but that feels great...

Ooh

very nice. Overall art style is hot. HUD/cockpit computer design gave me a semi.

how do you like it so far? what are the boss fights like?

Risen.

#2910 posted by Shambler on 2009/10/20 13:16:23

Thanks for the tip, Baldur. Reading the reviews....convincing world....pretty graphics....lots of exploration....shoddy combat. So basically it is the real Gothic 4 then, with less bugs. Well that suits me fine, I can get it and kiss goodbye to the winter months.

How much better is Oblivion than Risen?

Zwiffle...

#2912 posted by bal on 2009/10/20 19:27:49

What? Risen is better than Oblivion... :)
All Gothic games were better than Oblivion actually, and I liked Oblivion.

#2913 posted by necros on 2009/10/20 21:26:06

oblivion has a really generic feel to it.
risen (only going on the demo here) has a more 'intricate' feel to it (as did all the gothic games). the environment is very detailed and stuff feels a lot more hand-placed than oblivion did.
oblivion had some cool spots, but for the most part, it looked pretty similar. (the oblivion mods that add in modified areas look amazing though, but i'm judging the game itself, not the mods)
risen combat is kind of annoying though. i was never a fan of the gothic combat either though and prefer the more mobile/non-animation-constricted combat of oblivion.

Plants Vs Zombies

#2914 posted by stevenaaus on 2009/10/21 12:26:00

I third that motion 8>
The array of corny zombie and plant characters is a hoot : Zombie pole vaulters, those that burrow underground spin around and head in the wrong direction, and all sorts of exploding plants. Lots of corny head popping action.

It might actually be more fun to watch than play though. Site has videos and a demo.

Hmm

Peniskiller: Gayerection.

#2918 posted by Shambler on 2009/10/22 17:54:12

Looks as thrilling and revolutionary as the others. But hey, I'd be up for playing it coop!

Neg, Machinarium.

#2919 posted by bal on 2009/10/22 19:48:22

Yeah I've bought the game, and played the demo, just haven't found the time to play through it yet, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Oh And By The Way...

#2920 posted by bal on 2009/10/22 19:49:37

Eufloria is out on steam (previously called Dyson) it's this weird minimalistic asteroid conquering RTS, and it's made by Borsato, the q1 mapper, so go buy it.

Oh And...

Is That In Game Footage?

#2923 posted by nitin on 2009/10/23 03:39:21

surely not, because it looks very awesome.

Nope

#2924 posted by ijed on 2009/10/23 04:20:07

Prerendered.

The specials are looking good - that video shows the Spitter, Charger and Jockey, but it'd be nice to see another for the heavy (Tank / Witch) class.

The Charger apparantly is downgraded so as not to be part of that group, which begs the question.

nice demo, beautiful artwork. Great character to the animations. Looks like an awesome childrens picture book.
