Nice! Looks like some kind of uchrony a la Crimson Skies with mechs instead of planes (speaking of, I miss that game badly!). Interest piqued.
If you own Metro 2033 Redux on Steam, you can get it on GOG free this week via GOG Connect. A few other games are available too. It says the offers are available for 5 days as of this writing.
https://www.gog.com/connect I think I may get The Witcher for $1.49 just to have a non Steam version. I might even play it again.
Other than turn-based, I don't like 3rd person games much, but I remember that one as being pretty good. F.E.A.R. Platinum for $2.49 is a good deal. It doesn't go on sale often. The two addons are only average, but the original game was excellent and worth the price alone.
Partway through Titanfall2 SP. It's a quite haphazard and gimmicky (i.e. some of the levels are obviously set-up training / preparation for MP, sometimes the progression skips weirdly ahead).
But.... It looks stunning, the lighting/fog/background effects etc etc are some of the best I've ever seen, it seems to run great maxed out on a 970M, the large scale scenery is spectacular and varied (some inside bits are a bit dull), the gameplay mechanics are good fun (and pretty interesting in the less artificial places) with enough variety from pilot and mech, and having the titan as your friend is nice. As far as modern interactive-movie COD-shooter AAAAAA+ hype games go....it seems pretty damn fun to me. Titanfall 2 SP is great yah. Just for my personal tastes, it automatically gets some demerits as an FPS for having weapons that are (almost) just all about being hitscan bullet-hoses, but the movement is funtimes and I really like the way that different missions each have a different new "gimmick" mechanic to put a twist on how the basic mechanics interact.
(Some podcast I heard recently claimed that Respawn had an internal game jam where multiple small groups each tried to figure out how to do a fun Titanfall SP campaign. In the end, instead of picking one idea to go ahead with, they used almost all of the ideas and just put them into different missions. No idea how true that actually is but it feels right.) There's not much of your classic swiss-cheese map exploring, but a lot of different ways to bounce around inside a given space. So there are significant things about it that are not terribly Quake-y but I enjoy it in other aspects. One of the best SP shooter campaigns in years I think. It's a shame the SP is so short in length, but on the other hand I guess there's no wasted padding. 1. DiRT 3 Complete Edition
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/dirt-3-complete-edition-free-game 2. Far Cry® 3: Blood Dragon https://club.ubisoft.com/en-GB/ubi30 3. Dungeon Keeper https://www.origin.com/irl/en-us/store/free-games/on-the-house Apparently you saw this a bit too late. Sorry for that, but nothing I can do to help.
Let me tell you about
What is Call of Misery? Well, it's Call of Chernobyl with many gameplay / visual / sound features ported from famous Misery mod for Call of Pripyat what was released about 2 weeks ago. Call of Chernobyl - new separate game what requires Call of Pripyat for legal reasons and features 32 maps from all 3 games (including underground ones), correctly working a-life and focuses on freeplay (there's still story option with basic Shadow of Chernobyl plot if you want some kind of end goal and ending). I didn't like original Misery that much because same 3 maps from Call of Pripyat get old very fast (even if they are big), but with much more massive world Misery mechanics have more breathing room I think. Also fact what Call of Chernobyl maps are properly populated and are relatively bug free unlike piece of shit Lost Alpha. So, tl;dr lots of hurr durr survival in beginning and emergent gameplay for dozens of hours, stalker is still not ded in 2016 You need: 1. Call of Chernobyl 1.4.12 (3.02gb) http://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/downloads/call-of-chernobyl-1412-full 2. Call of Chernobyl patch 1.4.14 (few mb) http://www.moddb.com/company/team-epic/downloads/coc-1414-patch 3. Call of Misery 0.9 (1.79gb) and it's updates 0.92-0.925 http://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/call-of-misery-full-version-09 4. Call of Misery 0.971 (few kb) and English translation http://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/addons/english-trans-call-of-misery-b092 (yeah, yeah, dl all these separate patches are pain in butt, so if you don't wanna deal with wait maybe it's good idea to wait 1.0 release) Gameplay video so you can decide if all the hassle worth it or not: https://youtu.be/r8kqrSGg-e4 I played the original Misery and was also not a fan. I loved the oppressive type of gameplay but it had a ton of quirks that made progress just not enjoyable.
Now this Call of Misery for SoC sounds extremely interesting and gives me yet another excuse to replay this gem! Thanks for sharing. I've owned kf2 for a long time now, but I gave up playing it because it sucked at that point (crappy netcode especially if I remember correctly). Might have to give it another go now that it's out...
L4D is a coop game with zombies following a linear path from the start to the end of a map, with the occasional siege from zombies.
Killing Floor is a coop game with zombies in which you have to survive a number of waves on an open, interconnected map. They're not the same.
