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?

Butcher

I've just been made aware of this 2D side shooter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLWOx0rNTr8
Looks fun! The name alone is a marvel of poetry...

Looks Rad

I might have to pick this up

Butcher is very hard... I haven't finished it.

So many shooters with hell theme announced. I have a feeling 2017 will be very satanic!

Waiting For DOOM 2 (2017)

Interesting.,

Good spot. It seems horror / gore / gothic is one of the next big things??

This, like the other ones, doesn't quite hit the mark in that trailer. Great style and theme, boring path following. The last 5 seconds of actual gameplay don't really show a tactical shooter either.

But it's a cool style and as next big things go....a hell of a lot better than many other choices.

Watched a bit of the Deathwing video that Shambler linked. Gameplay looks boring.

Warhammer Inquisitor

Not sure what to think, maybe diablo-ish?

It Looked Exactly Like WH40K D3 Several Months Ago.

#9667 posted by Shambler on 2016/12/14 12:44:15

Except Now It Looks More Boring Overall.

#9668 posted by Shambler on 2016/12/14 12:54:08

Sandbox world.

Randomly generated missions.

Randomly generated maps from tilesets (that looked particularly dull when they were re-arranging the same damn times in 10 different ways).

No, I don't want 100s of hours like that. That's why I really enjoyed D3 single player campaign, did a few rifts for the lulz, and haven't touched it since. Give me an interesting, tight, stylish, spectacular SP campaign instead and the 100 hours of repetition can fuck off.

Yeah I'll Pass Too

"Procedurally generated" just translates to "much shitter than anything hand-crafted and in any case once you've seen one map you've seen them all".

#9670 posted by FifthElephant on 2016/12/14 15:04:45

I agree, which is why I posted without comment. I think visually it looks pretty decent and the design is still good but I would prefer something hand crafted.

Procedural Generation

#9671 posted by Mugwump on 2016/12/14 17:36:02

isn't always a bad thing. I haven't played Diablo 3 but PG did add some replayability value to the first two games. I spent countless hours of fun in these games back in the day and I'm not sure I would have played them more than once or twice if they had fixed levels.

Sorry double checked and found it will end at 18th instead of 19th.

Thanks Kingold

#9674 posted by Mugwump on 2016/12/16 14:58:55

Now's my chance to get Blood Dragon. And thanks for mentioning the deadline.

Ummm...

#9675 posted by Mugwump on 2016/12/16 15:02:48

Already got it actually, it's Dirt 3 that I missed the other day. Oh well, I heard the Rayman game was good. Most of the others I already have.

GOTYs, Bitches.

#9676 posted by Shambler on 2016/12/16 16:17:11

1. Dark Souls 3 (just the best dark fantasy vibe ever, mesmerising)
2. DOOM 4 (a very reassuring blend of old skool and new skool)
3= Titanfall 2 (short, linear, and gamey but great fun and great gfx)
3= Rise Of The Tomb Raider (like the first reboot but better, just really good all round)
5. Homeworld Deserts Of Kharak (stylish and refreshingly streamlined RTS)
6. Battlefleet Gothic Armada (pure repetitive 40k geekery, but moreish and satisfying)

Haven't got round to playing Dishonoured 2, Deus Ex MD, Total Warhammer, nor XCom2 all of which could be on the list... Been a great year for gaming overall.

Uplay Sucks

#9677 posted by PuLSaR on 2016/12/17 16:34:56

it took me 3 reloads of the site to log in and grab that pack. Uplay itself crashed 2 times when trying to update. Still updating.
