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?

FUCK YEAH. 
I'm gonna be on that like I was on Negke's mum for 2 hours the other night.

Does look fucking spot on as a Space Hulk L4D2 FPS.... Combat looks confusing as fuck but apart from that. Some really cool environments in that video too....nice variety and spectacle given you're on Hulks.

Please have a Cyclone launcher too....:D 
Waiting For Reviews 
while it looks cool enough I'm just not convinced yet.

The game can't even hold 60fps in the official promotional trailer. That worries me quite a bit about performance, for starters!

So yeah, step up pre-order guinea pigs! 
Bler 
Except your virility probably won't last long, so after the four missions you'll call it finished and uninstall. 
Yeah Yeah. 
Vermintide was hard tho. Hard as my cock when, well, you know Nekgette Snr and all that. I completed it, got 25 hours, that's enough. Maybe Space Hulk Sperminator will be more of the same, maybe it will be gentler like L4D2, we shall see.

Daz, I didn't hold 60 FPS in a lot of Doom4 and it still ran fine overall. Chugging at 45 in places, whatever. But yeah no pre-orders tho. 
 
Space Hulk Deathwing going to be another L4D like ?
:(
Bleh, why not a proper SP FPS campaign ? 
Bleh, It Always Was A Squad-based Game. 
 
 
Squad is fine, its coop, fine.

Mix in some class based stuff, sure why not ?
A long time ago I played "squad" like coop in Doom and Quake1/2 by voluntarily redistributing ammo amongs players so one has all the instahit ranged ammo, other has explosives etc. Took some fucking around with binds/mods etc but it worked. Silly geeky RP Coop stuff basically, I get the point of it.

But why the mob system ? The eternal artificial generated mobs ai director thing is what irks me, it always feels wrong to me, since the first L4D up to Vermintide etc. 
Conarium?? 
4A Games Vr Title

I mean, it looks cool, but it ain't Metro 2034 :D 
Alternatively.... 
Styx 2....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_ZKlcNI9FU

Styx was decent but a bit repetitive, this looks a worthy enough sequel for sure - more options, crisper graphics, cool scenery. 
Conarium 
Looks interesting. Decent otherworldly vibe.

Let's say for a second that Quake got the DOOM 2016 treatment. I could imagine the visuals and otherworldly atmosphere of that place fitting very nicely into a re-imagined E4 themed area. 
Dzz Yeah. 
Trailer has a metro-esque vibe before combat starts. But fuck VR only. 
Styx 2 
Oh man! I can't wait for that!

Loved the first, but as Shambler said it suffered from some tired design. 
Outlast 2 Demo Anyone?? 
http://store.steampowered.com/app/414700/

I didn't get very far in this.....brrrrrrr......

Lighting is great. What little of it there is to alleviate the fear. 
Shadow Warrior 2 Preview 
If you are curious about the soon to be released Shadow Warrior 2, there will be a multiplayer stream on Twitch GOGcom channel in a few hours. (I'm not so keen on it personally, but I'll give watching the stream a chance.)

The Teamup page accessible via http://j.mp/streaming_schedule should show the time in your time zone. They are planning to have a four player co-op session. The game will come out on Steam and GOG in about five days.

The Twitch GOGcom channel is here http://www.twitch.tv/gogcom 
COD Infinite Warfare 
I am one of those who were extremely disappointed at the initial utterly generic single player trailers of this year's COD. I am currently playing the PS4 open beta however and finding the multiplayer admittedly fantastic. I am really loving the level design and the overall stylistic choices they've made this time around. I also like how they have toned down player movement from Advanced Warfare (I skipped BO3) down to sane levels. 
Brutal Doom 64 V1 Trailer 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4sSqAqGnaU

Bring it on, just about done with Brutal Dooms campaign, good timing. 
Rise Of The Tomb Raider. 
Played very little of it, seems like more of the same which is fine by me.....but goddamutherfucka it looks so good. Snow and ice effects jeez. 
Rise Of The Tomb Raider 
I liked Tomb Raider 2013 a lot. If not for Denuvo, I'd have bought this one by now. 
RotTR 
Great game, a more polished and fine tuned of the reboot. I had loads of fun exploring all of the places and great cinematic work...you'll enjoy yourself! 
Crysis On Sale At GOG 
$7.99 No DRM

A lot of others that look interesting also. Did anybody play Saboteur?

Oh, and coincidentally, Blood: One Unit Whole Blood $2.39

Got me a nice full cart. 
Rise Of The Tomb Raider 
I really like that game and its predecessor, too. It's the perfect balance of action and puzzle / platforming. It could be a bit more challenging (not the combat, but the puzzles), but they nailed the exploration part. 
Kingpin: Life Of Crime 
I remember always having been a fan of the atmosphere in Kingpin. NOT the thug element per se, but more the level design, ambient sounds and especially the lighting. So...

I found a copy in my Linux distro that I must have been playing around with in Wine and, I transferred it to my Win7 partition and found myself once again back in Poisonville!!! OFC only after editing the configs, patching the game officially, no-cd check and resolution corrections.

/rant

WOW, what horrible game AI we had to suffer back then :( The choices they made for weapons and enemy AI seriously sucked bawwws!

I know I'm not the best playa but damn, wtf give me a silencer IF... once I shoot EVERYONE comes to me! OR... the grenade, almost totally USELESS!

The second I pull the trigger to stealthily "lob" a grenade, I'm out of sight btw, the AI comes to me thus making the grenade use useless also. AND, it doesn't go off if it hits them(I get this)! BUT, they also know to dodge it even further if I shoot it at them again!!!

I won't even talk about the that stupid ass flamethrower :(

/rant over

I found a MOD(Rags 2 Riches) on MODDB but once I installed it, due to its having a new gamex86.dll, it made my save incompatible.

I'm gonna finish it stock and then maybe later try that, as it is supposed to "correct" some of the AI and gameplay woes.

At least I still enjoy the atmosphere :)
