Saints Row: The Third - 8/10. I was really not looking forward to playing this, the first game was enough of a chore to get through. But SR3 is much better in most areas. Most notably it doesn't look like shit, you don't have to play through hours of retarded minigames, it's not far too long. It really does the overdone action game so well, the main character (for me a women in both games because I always play the chick if I have the choice) is the biggest badass female game character I can think of.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier - 7/10 It's just battlefield but a bit more of a slow pace. More stealth, more sniping. And less fantastic visuals because a few of the levels look pretty average. The engine itself looks good though, but goddamn the thing has some issues. I've had to quit about 4 times just to recover memory because the framerate became unplayable. But overall fairly fun realistic fps in the usual modern war settings. Don't upgrade to Windows 10, honey.
Solitaire, Minesweeper, and Hearts Games that come pre-installed on Windows 7 will be removed as part of installing the Windows 10 upgrade. An update for Ziggurat is out with new characters, perks, enemies and other things.
http://steamcommunity.com/app/308420/discussions/0/535152276586294216/ Ziggurat is fun to play... The mechanics are there for a decent authored game too. It would be super sweet if there was an editor. :)
Very nice free game:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/253030/ Simple game but nicely made unlocking upgrades as you go, chasing the sunset. Normally don't like infinite runner games, but this has a lot of charm. It was only free for yesterday! They were celebrating the iOS release by making the Steam version free for a day.
It was made by a friend of mine who I worked with at Raven. They have a world editor in the game! I made one with pink bunnies early in the game's life It's very nicely made, not my usual type of game but I'm quite liking it.
Looks like I saw the news late but still managed to d/l within the window of opportunity. problem with painkiller remake was less enemies and completely fucked hitboxes, making it a piece of shit.
I didn't care much about the missing levels Do you like Point and Click adventure games? Do you like gritty sci-fi? Do you like really creepy gritty sci-fi? Do you like stunning isometric visuals? Do you like Mark Morgan? If yes, then you'll love STASIS. I have completed the backer beta (took me 6 good hours) and I can't wait until the final game hits release at the end of the month.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/380150/ http://tevisthompson.com/saving-zelda/ is worth reading. About the lost spirit of the.original zelda game.
It's a long old read, so here's the tl:dr version:
"I liked thing as child. New thing isn't same as my nostalgic childhood memory of original thing, therefore it sucks". You're welcome. Dunno if point and click isometric adventures are my thing but that looks like it could convince me - very strong gritty style in the shots.
Very interesting stuff. Good on them. Also, lighting looks really good and the armour looks incredible.
not sure spending 1000s of hours on sword movement was the best choice of time given that the visuals of the game look decent, but certainly not the best of upcoming games. cryengine should be pretty capable.
http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_D48PCFshHg/maxresdefault.jpg I won't say no to a new IP rpg though :D Looks more interesting than the gameplay... I get the impression they get stuck on realism, which should be a source of inspiration but not a limitation.
Not saying knights should be able to fly or leap tall buildings in a single bound, but the combat itself seems to be very static. The fighters just come together to whack each other after which they break apart. Compare the game's combat dynamism to this scene: https://youtu.be/7L8ByreRfUo?t=70 Granted, it's the opposite extreme - everyone makes sure to hit each other's sword as much as possible and the SFX guy is having a field day, but they're also moving around a hell of a lot more. It'd be cool to see them go a bit more gamey. And see some gore...
