I tried that, I got the hand symbol on the vent hatch and got it to swing a bit, that's all. Grrrr.
Trinca, I played the DM3Rmx the other week, it rocked, great fun! Penumbra again...
Finally managed to complete it thanks to Daz's tip, and a walkthrough for some other bits, as it turns into a maze of vents and shit later on. I did figure out the acid on my own though! Kinda, yeah, interesting as D says. Setting is kinda bland but the engine shows it off well and it is pretty atmospheric. Those little creatures are well scary when you can't fight them back. Got an intriguing feel to it for sure, dunno if I could take a whole game of that gameplay though. DOW:DC again... Got stuck into this and completed both missions. Gameplay is pretty much the same old same old (scouts / builder / scouts / rush to capture shit / build barracks / troops / leader / everything depends solely on the first 2 minutes) but well, it's still functional, and I do like the Tau, they are pretty stylish and their weapons are well satisfying, I like the missiles in particular. Could be tempted by this more than actually playing Winter Assault, I reckon the Necrons will be pretty slick too... About the other one - the main theme ambient music is well good.
And I dug around the site and found this monster screenshot, pretty stylishly done: http://frictionalgames.com/files/screensaver_or%20_something.jpg 15 puzzles without a storyline: http://fizzlebot.com/cdt3.php
geometry wars type game, with some twists. A review (which also contains a download link):
http://worldofstuart.excellentcontent.com/grid/wars.htm First of all, they didnt have to choose naturaly boring environments for the game.
Second: HL Urban can be sexy and fun even indoors The three new HL2ep2 vids look quite promising, as did the second trailer. I kinda regret having watched them though, probably spoiling lots of the new stuff.
The second Team Fortress 2 trailer also rocks immensely, the designs and style are great, hope the gameplay lives up to them. Trailers #4 and #5 of HL2EP2 have been released on STEAM and #5 is the best of the bunch by FAR, pure $$$.
my brother bought me UT2004, Editors' choice edition and the damn thing uses 7 cds to install! 10 if i want to install the mod discs, whatever they are. fuck this. why cant company's make dvds now. :-(
reminds me when we bought mortal kombat 2 in floppy's and man.. so many of them! :-D there's a nice ~6min ingame video downloadable at http://www.gothic3.com with english commentary (that doesn't really tell anything new). the game looks pretty cool, i doubt it will run smoothly on my machine though. i don't like the term 'action rpg' as it sounds like a diablo-sort of game, which gothic is of course not - it's like oblivion et al, but (hopefully) with less generic areas.
On the checkage. G3 looks good.
P.S. This week I have mostly been playing... Bollocks to you.
Anyway, Gothic3 trailer looks cool. Kinda nice lighting and stuff and I appreciate what they're getting at. Might have to give it a go. continued with unreal 2 where I left off.
Now this gets better, the gameplay is still mediocre but the level design just keeps getting better. Some of it is downright inspired in parts. But what the hell were they thinking with the cutscenes on the ship after each level ? Trying to give each character a backstory when they should have just kep going with the action. And one way to have increased the fun in the gameplay would have been simply to double themoving speed. It woudl have still been above average at best but much better than what it is. I certainly remember getting bored with the bits on the ship, it felt like padding, which is ironic considering how much effort it must have taken to script all that crap. It's such a shame that the gameplay and story weren't even close to the standard of the art.
This weekend I have mostly been playing Company of Heroes, Relic's new World War 2 RTS. It's a lot like Dawn of War in many ways, but with a lot of additional nuances in the control system like setting the facing on units (very important for tanks whose armour is thickest at the front, and artillery pieces which have a limited arc of fire). The SP campaign seems a lot tougher than DoW so far as well. I've also been playing Doom, off XBox Live Arcade. I think this must be at least the fourth time I've bought Doom! scrapland - nice design and could'v been good if they polished gameplay mechanics... but as it is, all the spaceship battles are just boring fillers. played like 3 times for 1hr, not sure I will return
manhunt - dont care about graphic violence, gameplay is primitive with very little variation (stealth mostly). looks bleh, but nice location design and very good sound and voice action. some good AI(for what it has to do). played ~80% of the game suffering - nice horror setting and monster design, bleh gameplay (shooter/slasher), bad camera (crucial for TPS). gave up after ~3-4 levels DevilMayCry3 - abysmal camera, awfull controls (with gamepad its even worse).very hard. but still fun (on the 6th level now) repetition yeah. but with good ship battles\races mechanics it couild`v been more fun
say, NFS:MW has a lot of repetition, but its still good fun Anyone play racing sims? I bought a Logitech MOMO wheel and have been playing GTR 2:
