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?

Blah 
I don't mind procedural level design as long as the gameplay is there. Many of my favourite games in the last few years have used some procedural systems.

Really curious to see how the random generation in Gibhard (http://www.gibhard.com/) will work, most of the screenshots he's posted look like proper levels, I guess it's probably pre-made rooms like Isaac or something.

Which at best will feel like those infinitely dreary sections in Halo 1 where you just kept finding yourself in the same prefabbed rooms and corridors with the only variation being the position of crates and other freely placeable props.

It might be ok for some, but I feel it's not quite my tempo
 
I honestly don't believe procedural levels will work with first person shooters, which is why I'm quite wary of projects like Strafe and Gibhard (Gibhard is kinda old too, was showcased on Mapcore a few years ago).

Random prefabs slapped together will probably never be as thorough and well thought out as a level with a proper layout. You end up knowing regular levels by heart after a while, but at least they stay consistent all the time (when they're well designed, that is). 
I Wouldn't Mind 
a hybrid - maybe for like a horror game of some kind. Central parts are designed by hand, but outdoor areas connecting the central parts are randomly generated so each time you play there's something different about it. If it worked, I could see it being applied to something like L4D or Vermintide to help keep the game from getting stale. 
So Much Spam... 
Here's a couple screenshots of a new build engine game by 3d realms just as a palette cleanser.

That's Rad 
I'm more excited for that than I am for Bombshell. Which isn't really saying much, but it's unexpected! 
@Kinn, Same Character, Much Later... 
 
plus you can use the cube of whatever to take the legendary (orange) power off the nagelring and apply it to yourself, so you can then wear both rings in that set and still shit out an endless stream of suicide bomber goblins 
Super Mario Remaker Is Fun, But Already, "Foxed" By Nintendo! 
Never played Super Mario Maker, but the GameMaker 8 made homage to the Wii title is fun. Nintendo has already graced the creators with a C&D order, but the demo was already let loose on the net so its still out there. 
Heh 
well it's still on my hard drive, I downloaded it as soon as I saw it. This was always going to be the outcome. 
Luneeee 
��In addition, legendary powers are Unique Equipped; as a result, one cannot gain the same power both from the Cube and from an equipped item. 
 
Right, so ... you can't have two nagelrings.

Shamblers reported to be most affected by this news.

Oh and you can buy another stash tab, bunch of Crusader skills got replaced, big focus on Thorns, +XP% gain is nerfed post level 70, and a bunch more things: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/19998542/patch-240-now-live-1-12-2016 
Vondur. 
Do followers spawn goblins with rings? I tried with Puzzle Ring the other day and it didn't work on the follower.
