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. 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. "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".
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.
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.
Ubisoft is giving away again all the previously given-away games in their 30-Year anniversary celebration campaign.
You have the chance to get all 7 games as a big bundle until December 19th, including: Assassin��s Creed III Beyond Good & Evil Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Rayman Origins The Crew Tom Clancy��s Splinter Cell So grab it while you can if you have missed any of them, at: https://club.ubisoft.com/en-GB/ubi30 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.
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. 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.

Hi, if you are still interested in Dirt3, I have got an extra copy that can be given away. Last time when Humble Bundle was giving it away, I grabbed a copy, but later when trying to activate it at Steam, I was reminded that I have already got it in my Steam Library, upon which I remembered that I had got it in a previous Humble Bundle. So, dear Mugwump, if you care, just write down your E-mail address and I will send the activation code to you. Hopefully the code still works. My Friend, I am extremely sorry for letting you down again.
Upon checking the code page, I was confronted by this message: "...The redemption deadline is November 19th, 2016 at 10:00 AM Pacific. You have 0 days left!" And the code itself is no longer visible! Can't tell you how awful I feel about this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9jf-0DeWD0
Old video, shows lots of gameplay though. Obviously a terrible player and pre-pre-pre-minus-alpha build but, well, it is what it is. Sometimes one will be in the mood for an utterly bog-standard iso-RPG set in a snowy world, and this might be it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HnY1VHeLSA
A squad based FPS using the Marathon 2 engine. you control a squad of marines and wipe out extremist groups. bought this in the bargin bin for $10 back in ~1999. The intro song is by a band named Death. Years later I was at a used media store and found a CD by a band named Death. Bought it based soley on the name and album cover. The game had somewhat escaped my memory so i was pleasantly surprised when the intro to Damage Inc came up on my recently purchased CD. I really think this game was ahead of its time. You choose a squad of marines from like 8 or so guys. they each have their own stats and dialogue. I always chose Metal and Banzai as a kid. You can give them orders like "Search and Destroy", which along with the title "Damage Inc", is another Metallica reference.
