I hope the game will have sweet credits music so I can pour a bowl of cheerios and rock out in my whitey tighties at my desk... 

For those watching DaZ stream Rebel Galaxy and want to listen to the awesome soundtrack outside the game ...

This soundtrack is great! 

I'm not real sure how I managed to overlook it when it came out. I guess I was too much into LotRO at that time. As a $2.49 GoG special it was certainly money well spent.

It's not a short game at all, I probably took 50-60 hours to complete it. I know a few times I was at it 8 hours or more non-stop and it never crashed once.

Very weird story, even after finishing it I only halfway understand what was going on. Good fun though, and entertaining. It does store its saved games in a weird place. Why do so many games do that?

Mad Max meets Rage meets Riddick? Style and GFX look amazing. Combat looks meh. Thoughts? 

I agree. It looks good graphically but the combat looks boring, like assassins creed boring. 

yeah style great, combat meh, I'll definitely play it though. scifi-rpg yes please!!!

Modding tools for BlOps3 next spring. 

I mean *ahem* I am cautiously optimistic. 

MinDungeon is a funny addictive grinding dungeon crawler thingie on Android, recommended! 

http://www.gog.com/promo/fall_sale_classic_shooters_bundle_51115

There's a 48-hour sale of "Bethesda shooters," which are the classic Id games from Wolfenstein 3D to the 2002 Return to Castle Wolfenstein; including Doom I, II and Final Doom; and Quake I, II and III.

The individual games in the bundle are also on sale for some time. I posted this here in case anyone wants to pass the info on, and not so much thinking anyone here doesn't already own the ones they want to own.

The way GOG packages some of these games for installation is not ideal, but you can always inform people about the freely available engine source ports and such things. At least GOG doesn't do DRM. 

It pains me that they call several id games and one Gray Matter/Nerve game created and released over a decade before the Zenimax acquisition "Bethesda Shooters".

Jumps to the beginning of the interesting bits. The guy is hyperbolic and obnoxious, but this is a cool map, at least in a neato skybox sort of way. 

Ever since Prey I've desperately wanted to work on a gravity-flipping multiplayer game (CoD + Prey gravity shit basically), and for a second I thought you would be able to run up the walls. Somewhat disappointed, but Blops 3 pre-loading :)~ Had a blast with the open beta, first CoD game I've been excited to play since like MW2 or the original Blops. 

For all we know, the map might flip at some point. Ghosts and AW both had major map changes in response to player behaviors or time. He just wandered around for a minute with no one else there. 

...but fuck all of COD up it's crusty pointless arse. 

It feels like COD is tired of COD and wants to do something else. Zombies, flying islands, exo-suits, etc. :P Doesn't it? 

If that's the case it got tired of itself back in CoD2/3. 4 changed the setting, introduced perks and streaks. 5 introduced zombies, 6 exploded the customization. 7 added bots, theater mode, and lots of gadgets. 8 added player archetypes that changed your reward systems. 9 added a 16 possible endings campaign (4x4 results) and revised the class creation system and the scoring loop. 10 experimented with a rather different resource allocation structure, had space combat, and a lot of different level changing events in the multiplayer. 11 added sci-fi weapons, special abilities, air dashing (which could make for some very wide spectrum gun fights as if you used it well, you could repeatedly significantly relocate in any direction during one fight). 12 kept the verticality of 11 but emphasizes flanking with the wall running, adds player characters with special abilities and weapons to the mp, and adds a New Game+ that tells a different story in a different theme from the base campaign.

They change it a lot, every time. But people see iron sights and bullets, so they consider it identical. But there is a reason people prefer one particular CoD to another, and why they do check out the latest: Because they are different. They've always been different. The most similar ones are 4 and 5. And that was when zombies were added.
