Other PC Games Thread.
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 Got Tired Of It Partway Through 4. 
And that's enough. I see it's been spat out today, that is some cause for non-celebration and mild dismay, followed by getting back to worthwhile games. 
 
4 gets a ton of praise. I personally think it's one of the weakest entries. They relied on the setting change to carry the campaign, so only the multiplayer had mechanic shifts. Curiously it seems to be the exception for most people who vocally dislike the franchise. 
Quake 4 Is Stupid 
If You Want A True Quake 4 Play Hunters Moon 
Uhuh. 
Obvious troll iz boring. 
Mmmmmmm 
Hunters Moon 
#8658 
Ten minutes of shooting a big bullet sponge in a box map.

Nah, I'm good. 
Wow. 
That's a great example of why programmers need artists and game-play designers. 
 
Can we just declare 'Hunters Moon' to be a spammer at this point? No one is interested in this shitty Q3 mod. 
Quake 4 Is An Unbalanced Mess, Surely 
The mix of nearly impossible to kill boss fights and nearly impossible to die vehicle missions was ridiculous. Some of the boss fights had so much stuff going on that they became completely random, and the regenerating health in the vehicle missions made those missions incredibly easy.

Also, the on-rails mission where we gotta destroy a lot of turrets while the vehicle incessantly shakes and turns around to make it impossible for us to aim made me just give up and enable god mode. That point gave me so much rage I'd like to strangle and punch the vehicle's driver and tell him to stop the vehicle so I can aim. In practice, our own driver was the real enemy in that mission.

Also the running speed is slower than Quake 1's walking speed, and the ending was poor. But at least the stroggfication scene was awesome.

Quake 4 would have been perfect if it wasn't for these problems. There's a lot of great stuff in the game. 
Scampie. 
Already declared as a troll, but yeah has earnt spammer too. Mostly on the count of the gameplay videos being so dire that they are just as irrelevant to this forum as Gucci handbags and fake Rolexes... 
Should Be The Tagline 
"Hunter's Moon is the fake Louis Vuitton handbag of mods - made by 12-year olds in a basement from stolen materials, it might look like a game from a distance but as soon as you put it under any sort of scrutiny it just falls apart at the seams." 
Quake 4 
It's been years since I played it, but from what I remember I'd have to agree about the vehicle on rails levels. Probably the boss fights too. I probably went god-mode for those after a couple of attempts, but then I pretty much dislike all boss fights for being too tedious.

In between all that, I remember it as being pretty good. I still have it in my Games folder, maybe I should give it another play sometime. 
I Don't Remember Having Many Issues With Boss Fights 
but I hated all the driving bullshit. 
SS Remake Screenshots. 
http://www.polygon.com/2015/11/25/9801434/system-shock-remake-first-look-art

Wow. At first I thought the right hand side was the original. Good way to ensure I'll be saving �30 not touching it with a very long pole. 
Yeah 
They've made some very odd decisions with those graphics. The cryobeds are the strangest thing of all. The originals were flat textures that were clearly trying to represent some sort of tube/tunnel that you would lie down in, but it seems like the artist in the remake thought it was just supposed to be some sort of flat circular mesh/window thing? 
Lol.. 
I'll stick to the original thank you!

Now I might be interested if someone remade System Shock 2 if maybe it vaguely looked like this fan made short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEQReLZJXJQ 
Very Odd Decisions... 
Like 2004 graphical quality with 1994 design quality??

Not a strong look in this day and age.

Wow. To try to remake the textures so accurately and then misinterpreting them so fundamentally is both hilarious and quite sad :/ 
Clearly? 
It looks like a stained glass window in the original shots. 
Funny Story... 
I was looking for a video of the first level to show OTP that in context the idea that it's a stained glass window is ridiculous. I couldn't find a video that didn't also have the intro cutscene so I settle down to watch it, and it turns out it is some sort of stained-glassy-window-terminal thing afterall:

And then I broke the internet by admitting that I was wrong all along.

I still don't like the new graphics though. :P 
 
So Its 
A HD texture pack with neon lighting!

I hope they also reduce the amount of reading you have to do and add microtransactions so that you can pay a bit extra to skip the boring walking around and jump ahead to the action.
