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?

Deathwing. 
Also that is a proper fucking gameplay trailer. It doesn't show much but it actually shows gameplay, the hud, what it would actually bloody be like to play. More devs / pubs should do that as "gameplay" trailers.... 
 
This is pretty hilarous : https://youtu.be/NJj1Q8kBGog?t=137
:) 
Deathwing 
That actually made my long-dormant Warhammer40K penis stand to attention. Aesthetically that is just bang-on. 
In The Grim Darkness Of The Far Future.... 
....there is only Kinn's penis :( 
Call Of Space Duty 
But 
In space no one can hear duty call. 
Call Of 2Spoopy4Me 
I tapped out of that series around CoD4 I think. It was all just shooty army men tango roger foxtrot back then - so, it's all robots and aliens and shit now? 
 
It's had robots to some degree since MW3, when they introduced manually controlled robots with weapons to break hard defenses. Then BlOps2 added drones and more ai powered things. It has been trending in the direction of more and more scifi, with some straight up shooting gluing it all together.

Now if you touch on the coop side of the franchise... It's all aliens, giant frankenstein monsters, pulp fiction heroes, 1950s ray guns, nazi zombies, hell hounds, and subterranean wild west ghost towns... So who knows what the coop on this one will look like - or if it was sacrificed to work on that CoD4 remaster. 
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhh!!!! 
WOOT WOOT. 
Sick trailer, love how it's choreographed.

Also, Imperial Knights!

Liked DOW. Really liked DOW2 and how the took a different direction. Hyped for this. Finally, a lot of good GW stuff on the horizon (Battlefleet is getting a decent reaction, Total Warhammer, Deathwing). 
Dawn Of War 3 Trailer 
Sorry I can't stop lolling at how hard the image at 1:33 was brought to us by Beksinski.

Then again Games Workshop have basically built an empire out of literally plagiarising every work of fantasy out there. 
Wow It's The Dumbest Fucking Shit In The Thread Until I Posted Now 
 
 
Kinn you're a tit

And SpaceCod end of trailer rofl "preorder spaceblabla and you get cod4 remastered so we make sure we sell this crap." 
 
I'll have you know I have over 300 confirmed kills etc etc.... 
 
But shamb, is shit trailer cos no gameplay :( 
Nah I Know It's Cinematic Brah. 
 
So...overwatch ? 
 
Fuck Blizzard! 
er, it looks pretty cool, I've been meaning to check out the beta (I think it's been extended until the 10th?).

Overwatch seems more compelling to me than Battleborn. Overwatch certainly has that undeniable bliz sheen and polish, visually anyway. 
Overwatch 
I didn't want to buy it, played beta and now I want to buy it. Polished, fast and fun. Reminds of TF a lot. 
Team-based Char-based MP Only No Thanks. 
 
OTOH. 
Here's 10 mins of fast-paced, visceral, violent Shadow Warrior 2 gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIikukPw9f4

On paper this sounds good. But it leaves me completely cold - Painkiller with an oriental theme. Nothing about it grabs me (apart from the weather effects and localised damage) and the amount of effects and garbage on screen is annoying. 
Overwatch 
Also in the same ballpark where I played the beta with friends with no plans on buying it. Now we all want to buy it as it was a blast.

They really do have something there. $40 for the PC version is nice as well! 
 
Yeah, overwatch played beta and actually had fun somehow. The amount of polish and smoothness to it all, should be the minimum any AAA studio aims for.


Not important but I hate the characters style though (visually, not gameplay wise), you can see every tumblr youth demographic pandered to with each character...*shudder*...but of course brilliant $$$ sense from bliz...oh god it makes me think of sense8 somehow, anyone tried watching that shite ? 
Shadow Warrior 2 
Those the cringiest attempts at humour i've ever heard. Is it some kind of satirical meta-comedy where the joke is how unfunny the jokes are? One of the quips was "You want to hear something funny? You're full of holes!"

Was the original that painful? Aside from that it leaves me cold somehow too... I think it's mostly how unsolid everything feels, weapons just don't feel physical enough, shotguns fire fairy dust, when you hit monsters numbers fly out of them.

Character design gets a solid 0/10 from me too. Completely unmemorable, they've just thrown everything at the wall and nothing has stuck.

Environments actually look very pretty and varied! Really nice grass in particular. Some of the interiors seem very empty and unlived in though.

Strange, I feel like on paper this could have been quite good but it's really missed the mark! 
Yup.
