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?

I mean if the sister was up in the attic dead, and it became some sort of suicide awareness message, it might have meant more imo.

...that he went into politics because he heard that's the way to get a "mandate"

The only good thing about Gone Home is the story, and even then it's not that good.

Surge Looks Pants

They should have added gunplay.

Their last game was Lords of the Fallen. I enjoyed it. Felt solid enough, although too short/not enough world to explore while at the same time providing a ton of different gear in short succession. Almost like they ran ran out of time designing the world and just dropped all the player content in.
Bit of a DS-flavored snack.

No idea about The Surge. The setting does indeed look fairly boring, but then again, I only ever saw material from the starting area. Will probably give it a try at some point.

It is ridiculous how many Assassin's Creed games there are. They're alongside COD and the many annual sports titles as the cheapest cashcows in gaming. I've played 1, 2, Brotherhood, Revelations, 3, Liberation. They should have wrapped the series up with the end of Desmond. Now they're just spewing them out every year and they don't even have any kind of main story arc, at least with the next one I've played: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

It is the best so far though. Lots of sailing around, although I did get a bit sick of that and the shitty handling of your ship. Way too many "follow without getting caught" and "eavesdrop" missions. I'd be happy if they just did away with those completely. Needed a bit more exploring (I know it's an open world with lots of things to do, but none were proper side quests). I miss some of the times you'd go "dungeon crawling" in the earlier games.

But it was a nice change of pace to have a proper open world and the ship stuff. Good story again (as always), just a shame the main thing with the ancients is not relevant anymore but perhaps they'll figure out how to continue the main story arc in the next lot of games. I've still got the next 3 games to get through. More of the same I'm sure. Then they skipped a year and the next one based in Egypt might be out by end of year.

The two DLC's were nice as well. One was only 40 minutes, the other about 3 hours.

The Surge

You can't have a sci-fi game without guns. It would just be weird if it was all melee. I'll definitely play it though. If the developers are big fans of Dark Souls, then it stands to reason that the things they liked about DS would be the same as everyone else, so they would have replicated those in their game. It's due out next month.

Non-HDR Graphics

#9897 posted by megaman on 2017/04/24 12:44:46

Am I the only one who can't stand graphics without proper, readjusting tone-mapping? It's awesome if the whole screen is below 30% brightness and you can't see shit. Bah.

(The Surge is a good example)

gotta love the non-sequiturs that happen when one replies to a spam post that later gets deleted :}

It looks like I'm insulting poor path0gen in the Quake Champions thread because of or thanks to that.

Phoenix Point

Julian Gollop is making a new turn based strategy / tactics game called Phoenix Point and the crowdfunding (hold yer groan) is here : https://www.fig.co/campaigns/phoenix-point

The ideas sound cool, and it really looks like the grand strategy layer will be pretty complex with not only aliens to worry about but all the different human factions as well. Yes please sir.

With The Crowd Funding

They can probably afford to buy some lights for their office.
