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?

Hmmm.

Mad Max meets Rage meets Riddick? Style and GFX look amazing. Combat looks meh. Thoughts? 
 
I agree. It looks good graphically but the combat looks boring, like assassins creed boring. 
 
yeah style great, combat meh, I'll definitely play it though. scifi-rpg yes please!!! 
 
GET THE FUCK OUT 
I mean *ahem* I am cautiously optimistic. 
 
MinDungeon is a funny addictive grinding dungeon crawler thingie on Android, recommended! 
Bundle Of Classic Id Shooters 
http://www.gog.com/promo/fall_sale_classic_shooters_bundle_51115

There's a 48-hour sale of "Bethesda shooters," which are the classic Id games from Wolfenstein 3D to the 2002 Return to Castle Wolfenstein; including Doom I, II and Final Doom; and Quake I, II and III.

The individual games in the bundle are also on sale for some time. I posted this here in case anyone wants to pass the info on, and not so much thinking anyone here doesn't already own the ones they want to own.

The way GOG packages some of these games for installation is not ideal, but you can always inform people about the freely available engine source ports and such things. At least GOG doesn't do DRM. 
 
It pains me that they call several id games and one Gray Matter/Nerve game created and released over a decade before the Zenimax acquisition "Bethesda Shooters".

Jumps to the beginning of the interesting bits. The guy is hyperbolic and obnoxious, but this is a cool map, at least in a neato skybox sort of way. 
 
Ever since Prey I've desperately wanted to work on a gravity-flipping multiplayer game (CoD + Prey gravity shit basically), and for a second I thought you would be able to run up the walls. Somewhat disappointed, but Blops 3 pre-loading :)~ Had a blast with the open beta, first CoD game I've been excited to play since like MW2 or the original Blops. 
 
For all we know, the map might flip at some point. Ghosts and AW both had major map changes in response to player behaviors or time. He just wandered around for a minute with no one else there. 
That Is A Neat Gimmick... 
...but fuck all of COD up it's crusty pointless arse. 
 
It feels like COD is tired of COD and wants to do something else. Zombies, flying islands, exo-suits, etc. :P Doesn't it? 
 
If that's the case it got tired of itself back in CoD2/3. 4 changed the setting, introduced perks and streaks. 5 introduced zombies, 6 exploded the customization. 7 added bots, theater mode, and lots of gadgets. 8 added player archetypes that changed your reward systems. 9 added a 16 possible endings campaign (4x4 results) and revised the class creation system and the scoring loop. 10 experimented with a rather different resource allocation structure, had space combat, and a lot of different level changing events in the multiplayer. 11 added sci-fi weapons, special abilities, air dashing (which could make for some very wide spectrum gun fights as if you used it well, you could repeatedly significantly relocate in any direction during one fight). 12 kept the verticality of 11 but emphasizes flanking with the wall running, adds player characters with special abilities and weapons to the mp, and adds a New Game+ that tells a different story in a different theme from the base campaign.

They change it a lot, every time. But people see iron sights and bullets, so they consider it identical. But there is a reason people prefer one particular CoD to another, and why they do check out the latest: Because they are different. They've always been different. The most similar ones are 4 and 5. And that was when zombies were added. 
I Got Tired Of It Partway Through 4. 
And that's enough. I see it's been spat out today, that is some cause for non-celebration and mild dismay, followed by getting back to worthwhile games. 
 
4 gets a ton of praise. I personally think it's one of the weakest entries. They relied on the setting change to carry the campaign, so only the multiplayer had mechanic shifts. Curiously it seems to be the exception for most people who vocally dislike the franchise. 
Quake 4 Is Stupid 
If You Want A True Quake 4 Play Hunters Moon 
Uhuh. 
Obvious troll iz boring. 
Mmmmmmm 
Hunters Moon 
#8658 
Ten minutes of shooting a big bullet sponge in a box map.

Nah, I'm good. 
Wow. 
That's a great example of why programmers need artists and game-play designers. 
 
Can we just declare 'Hunters Moon' to be a spammer at this point? No one is interested in this shitty Q3 mod. 
Quake 4 Is An Unbalanced Mess, Surely 
The mix of nearly impossible to kill boss fights and nearly impossible to die vehicle missions was ridiculous. Some of the boss fights had so much stuff going on that they became completely random, and the regenerating health in the vehicle missions made those missions incredibly easy.

Also, the on-rails mission where we gotta destroy a lot of turrets while the vehicle incessantly shakes and turns around to make it impossible for us to aim made me just give up and enable god mode. That point gave me so much rage I'd like to strangle and punch the vehicle's driver and tell him to stop the vehicle so I can aim. In practice, our own driver was the real enemy in that mission.

Also the running speed is slower than Quake 1's walking speed, and the ending was poor. But at least the stroggfication scene was awesome.

Quake 4 would have been perfect if it wasn't for these problems. There's a lot of great stuff in the game. 
Scampie. 
Already declared as a troll, but yeah has earnt spammer too. Mostly on the count of the gameplay videos being so dire that they are just as irrelevant to this forum as Gucci handbags and fake Rolexes...
