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?

That actually sounds like a little project one could do to learn UE4.

Just need a special blueprint to count fish twice... 
Enderal Trailer 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQog9lkyH8k

A Skyrim TC by the same people who made Nehrim, among other things. I'm properly hyped. 
Ooooh 
Super excited about this! Nehrim was really good. I hope it's early 2015 and not late 2015! 
 
And to this day I still haven't checked out Nehrim despite being on my todo list since forever. I did start their Morrowind project Arktwend a bazllion years back and forgot to continue it...

There's so many damn good project releases for different games it's difficult to keep up with them all! 
Has Anyone Checked Out Strife: Veteran Edition Yet? 
 
 
hm... that's cool, but you can already play strife in the vavoom engine, so... yeah, not sure if there's really any point paying for that. unless you don't have the original strife, of course.

it's one of my favourite games, so if you've never played it, i'd heartily recommend it. it was really quite ground breaking at the time it was released, with lots of fully voiced dialog, inventory, weapon mods and even some story branching, not to mention a really great atmosphere and cool level design. 
Enderal. 
Looks exactly like more Skyrim, except, errr, different. Looks rather cool to me.

Going back and playing Doom1/2 in Doomsday, and started looking for all the wads I've missed out on. I don't know what 'hub' site exists for Doom mapping, but I've found
http://www.doomworld.com/10years/bestwads/2001.php
and
http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_notable_WADs
so far.

As for bigger projects, Brutal Doom looks like a ton of fun and so does that Total Chaos thing. 
More Doom 
Apparently the Doom discussion is over, but saw this on rps fpr those who want more Doom:

Whoops 
More more Doom I guess 
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet 
Yeah, it went boring fairly fast. Seems like a very short game in any case. I think it progressed too quickly, one cannot really get familiar with new stuff because it is only used for short parts. Boss fights can be tricky and right now I got stuck in the electricity part which was super annoying. Then I accidentally started a new game and apparently my previous state got lost. Fuck that. Not convinced to start anew, it was not that good. So much potential! :( 
 
Most anything Doom can be found at Doomworld or the ZDoom forums. Once in a while other sites leech content from them, but usually with a week delay or such.

I still feel like a noob at Doomworld though, despite having gone there since 99, because I've only been going there since 99. I also have no idea when it was started, I just saw the link in a .plan update from Carmack.

I love it when a .plan comes together. 
@Doom 
I often refer others to these resources for Doom custom content.

List of Notable Wads @ Doomwiki.org
100 Wads of All Time: 1994 - 2003 @ Doomworld
The Annual Cacowards: 2004 - Current @ Doomworld
One Man's Journey Through Doom - Indepth, well written reviews of Doom Engine wads

I also occasionally review Doom content on my site if that interests you; http://taw.duke4.net/

p.s. nitpick; when referring to the Doom wiki, I recommend sticking to Doomwiki.org and ignoring the 'defunct' Wikia version. 
The Talos Principle 
Seems to be a nice first person puzzle game, made by the guys from Serious Sam, and written by the dude who wrote for The Swapper and FTL.
It's quite pretty at times as well, I recommend it for those who like these kinds of things.

Hail GabeN! 
I like what happened with the Hatred Greenlight back and forth there.

I was incredulous at that being removed, and Gabe proved to truly have a clear mind on this.

I hope the responsible for the removal was spanked silly. 
Hatred Is Lame 
But so is censorship, and removing Hatred from Greenlight really was just a form of censorship. 
Cacowards 
Back about Doom for those getting into the community content a very good place to start is the Cacowards, Doomworld's annual best of the year :
http://www.doomworld.com/cacowards/ 
Hatred 
Zwiffle you have no idea if its lame. Seriously we only have a shocker trailer for now, no clue as to anything else, story or not etc.

I bet if it wasn't in the books the dev team will be trying to make more out of it now than a simple sandbox NPC slaughter by now to shut people up :D

Or it is the game is lame in any case just because its about rampaging...?

That is was censorship is not the point I don't think. It was more that such a large and powerful entity in gaming such as Steam gets to off the bat make decisions like that regardless of what the gaming community concerned wants.
Gabe understood this.
If its not wanted it will get voted off Greenlight. As long as the content isn't plain illegal according to local laws then...

Yeah, and it was lame.

This. 
Hatred 
Removing it from Greenlight was a bit stupid, refusing to have it up on Steam thought would not be censorship, it's their store and they can do whatever they want with it. You don't go to a music shop and cry censorship if they don't have some random CD you're looking for.

Game still looks stupid anyways. :) 
Disappointing About Turn. 
Blah blah censorship blah blah WHATEVER. Bal is completely correct it's not censorship at all and more than WHSmiths not stocking hardcore porn on the top shelf is not censorship.

Valve was right in the first place, the game looks a pile of pointless puerile attention-grabbing shit specifically to appeal to angsty teenage morons, it should have been removed and stayed removed on the grounds of quality control if nothing else. 
Shocker Trailer. 
IIRC trailers are supposed to promote a game, highlight it's qualities, and generate interest??

Well the Hatred trailer certainly did that. It highlighted it well as looking like a complete turd - although the only interested in generated from me beyond the intial eye-rolling "meh" was a mild amused interest when it was Redlighted. 
+ Spelling. 
Too much trying to rant about a game that is just below the threshold of giving a shit, too little coffee.
