Func_Msgboard: Other PC Games Thread.

Posted by - on 2004/09/27 08:12:48

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 think Mass Effect 3 and Street Fighter X Tekken were the big ones causing a kerfuffle recently.

That was my point, and why I used both DLC and the phrase downloadable content in the same post.

The reality has little to do with the name.

Willem, I work almost exclusively on full DLC games - only done a single disc game and hopefully won't be doing more.

But we usually develop the content paralell to the game, and include it in the same package.

With the advent of freemium and live teams (as in, big publishers are realising they're losing a serious amount of market share), this'll be set to change soon as well.

I bought the latest Indie Royale bundle:

It's better than the last one, Data Jammers, Weird Worlds and Containment are quite nice. I wasn't so happy with Dungeon Defenders, felt like they were immediately trying to milk me for more cash and I didn't find it too fun either.

Anyway, I'm not just plugging the thing. It seems that Weird Worlds was mainly made by none other than Iikka Keränen.

It's pretty good as well.

If you don't know who that is then first punch yourself in the nose, then check Quaddicted.

Psychonauts

Just bought the game on steam ($9.99), and now I can't stop playing it. Also purchased Jamestown and Legend of Grimlock. Played those for a short while too.

Psychonauts

legend of grimrock looks a bit shit.

Psychonauts

Is an excellent game.

The amount of variety and humour in there WITHOUT including BS driving sections or even parts that just feel broken or like a cop out, is amazing.

Yeah

nice game. much better than brutal legend

Lone Survivor

A fantastic little survival horror-ish game by Jasper Byrne. Looks gorgeous and has some of the best audio work I've heard in a video game. Qba'g gnxr vg ng snpr inyhr.

I love the idea of this! It's a real shame I don't own Arma2 or I would probably end up playing this mod all night :)

I just got Alan Wake from GOG.com. I considered buying it in Steam's midweek madness sale but didn't make up my mind in time, then two days later GoG does an even better price with bonus content and absolutely no DRM! Bargain.

I'm underwhelmed by the gameplay, but it's a beautifully crafted world to "explore". I use the term explore loosely as there doesn't seem to be a lot of freedom. So far I'd give it 6/10, but I've only played for forty minutes or so.

Ugh

fucking steam exposing my cowardice to the world.

COD8 = Near Future?

Why did no-one tell me this? Looks typical COD garbage from the trailer and I suspect the atmosphere and gameplay will be mostly the utter puerile drivel that COD has become famous for, but the....war machines do look well cool in it....that might even tempt me.

#5870 posted by ZealousQuakeFan on 2012/05/15 13:21:12

Finally! Someone has had the vision to do a futuristic war game. I certainly can't recall any first person shooters in recent memory with sci-fi suits and gadgets, or indeed vehicles!

I do like the idea of riding a horse and being strafed by the starship enterprise.

#5872 posted by [Kona] on 2012/05/15 23:51:10

Yeah at least they're trying a slightly different setting, and putting horse riding in.

But... "what happens when someone steals the keys?" Seriously? That trailer is pretty fuckin cheesy.

Oh and it shouldn't be called Black Ops. That's just a cash-in.

COD In Cash In Shocker!

#5873 posted by Shambler on 2012/05/16 00:07:53

I just thought the near future thing was a fair bit cooler than modern....warfare.

Guild Wars 2

#5874 posted by DaZ on 2012/05/16 03:44:52

Edited down a bunch of video I captured during the recent stress test for GW2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuliFPFfpMM

The video is pve gameplay using the Guardian class.

The game in short : Fucking amazing :)

FYI

You can currently get Duke Nukem for free on your iPhone. Controls are pretty much impossible to use it seems though. Try switching to dual-stick mode if you want half a chance though.

#5876 posted by starbuck on 2012/05/17 18:19:00

Duke Nukem 3D that is

I played a little bit of the original PS back in the day, this sequel looks like it going to blow everything out of the water, wow :)
