Can't recommend this highly enough if you felt let down by Diablo 3. 

I really really liked COD: Modern Warfare (in fact I think it's easily one of top3 FPS games ever made), but I have been really dissapointed with MW2 and MW3 (each one while very enjoyable in SP, got progressively worse in MP). This made me steer clear of Black Ops when it originally came out about 2 years ago.

Being curious about Black Ops 2 (coming out in 3 weeks), I finally broke down and bought the original Black Ops on the cheap. Boy am I glad I did.

The single player is standard ridiculously over-the-top crazy COD fare (which I very much love), but goddamn they didn't fuck up the MP in this one! It's actually really really good and lives up to the high standards set by MW1. 

From earlier in this thread:

HOLY SHIT I'M DRIVING A CAR NOW oh okay i've jumped out and stabbed a russian in the tit AND NOW I'M ON A BIKE and i've got to shoot down a nuke? With a crossbow? THE PRESIDENT IS ON FIRE!! What the fuck is happening? I think I've been double crossed. By myself? 

Cod4 was the last decent cod. 

Was the last decent cod.

Interesting read though. 

.... :P 

News at 11. 

I think the point he was trying to make is actually similar to the classic rule of: before you make a game, you need to make a toy; i.e. something that's fun to fuck around with freely, but then you layer the gamey stuff (challenge/goals/contraints etc.) on top of that.

He just forgot to add the second part I think.

Or maybe he just really likes cutscenes. I dunno. 

 

What he is advocating for is 'interactive stories', which I think is fine in the realm of entertainment media and I'm sure there is a market for who want that sort of thing... just don't try and call it a game if you want to push the gameplay to the side. 

Legend of Dungeon
Check this kickstarter shit out. Pixel art rogue-like, but it's got swanky normal-maps and lighting. Looks rad.

btw, obviously not what starbuck is talking about, it just caught my eye. 

Here's a video:

anyone wants a dota2 beta key? i don't care for it, but i got one.

i'll send you an email if you have it written on your account. 

Is a high quality HL2-EP2 mod that you definitely want to have a look at if you like "The Thing".

Very much a horror puzzle/exploration game, only played about an hour of it and its excellent. Very creepy with tense moments. No combat so far but never say never.

here's the key if anyone wants it. being dota2, you need steam to activate it.
