I’m glad that starship troopers got at least one good game Anonymous 25-04-25 01:43:56 No.42009[Reply]

One thing I despise about the elder scrolls, world of Warcraft, every war hammer series, baldurs gate, and a lot of other worlds is the idea that they’re simply too massive. There’s a monism to starship troopers’ world building that allows the setting to have reasonable constraints in its world while still having enough change that the story actually feels like it’s progressing. It’s easy to get into starship troopers and even easier to describe its story even if you’re not familiar with the setting just for the fact that the setting is small but is constantly changing in response to technology and new threats—like in real life. Starship troopers is one of the few franchises that I can talk to people about without splurging on about like a loser.

Btw, extermination has been continuously receiving new bug fixes, enemies, and weapons since launch. Apparently the game runs smoothly now.

Far Cry 5 is the best game in the Far Cry franchise.

It's the tightest mechanically, is the most accessible for a series newcomer, and has the best expansions, a la Hours of Darkness. Arcade is very good too. Main character doesn't talk. To each their own, sure, but he's objectively right.

Once you get a helicopter with machine guns, or machine guns in general, the game becomes the easiest far cry to date.
There was not a single interesting character in it, but is set in America so maybe its supposed to be that way.
FC3 and FC4 are the last good modern far crime games, everything else tried to revive the vass archetype and failed miserably to the point of having him come back in FC6, another garbage FC.

Spooky Castle. You go around throwing hammers at things. I looked for this game for years just off of distant vague memories, now that I found it I boot it up every other month or so.

Never seen anyone mention Heart of Darkness but it's my favorite platformer of all time. I installed some cracked version I dled a couple years ago but it was broken for some reason on one level. Needed to do a downward diagonal fireblast and it wouldn't let me. Yupp, just looked it up and it's not on steam even though it was released on PC as well as PS1.

Undertale is primarily a commentary on the ways people approach media. Genocide route, in that context, is a response to playing through games in the increasingly prevalent mechanical and consumptive way. While there's enough in there to support Toby exalting authorial intent, I think he's noticing trends in the ways people approach games (consumptive and completionist), but hasn't really diagnosed the cause, which is why he condemns the player for playing through genocide (or choosing to see it without playing themselves) as a personal failing rather than getting at things like the culture industry or trends in game design and marketing that encourage that kind of approach. As not a great fan of authorial intent I still see a lot of value in a game (or anything really) having the guts to resist people who only want to engage with it in a boring or distanced way.

Why the fuck didn’t half life have any binoculars? The zoom feature was such a poorly implemented and thought out addition to the games. I’d rather just have a normal fucking pair of binoculars than whatever goofy shit Gordon is doing with his eyes.

It represents focusing your vision on something you idgit. Also there are tons of games that do this as well.

They could’ve also just given Gordon a pair of binoculars or a cool anti ballistic helmet with visors.

Instead they gave Gordon supervision. Also I cannot stand how the devs didn’t allow the player to toggle zoom or adjust how far their vision was zoomed in. You cannot scout for anything in the games, which makes the feature worthless.

Half Life 2 was a very mediocre shooter IMO. I think main things they did well was the vibe, and then the physics stuff was very innovative at the time. I mean the original was almost closer to a platformer most of the time.

All the AC games released are just that. Daggerfall wannabes. It’s obvious that the developers at their studios want and have the technology to make a daggerfall sized RPG and just fucking won’t over budget concerns. God damn it.

I want Ubisoft to subcontract themselves to other developers and make maps for other games.
They're bar none the best at making open world maps. Not at filling them up, what activities you do in them, the stories written around them, but the world itself are always great.

Shadows is boring as sin, but their rendition of Japan is leagues ahead compared to something like Tsushima. Tsushima trumps it in pretty much every aspect, but I'm never gonna go back to that game just to be present in that gameworld. I sometimes go back to older AC games just to parkour walk around their rendition of venice, paris, or egypt. It's just nice spaces to be in.

God I hope the dark mechanic gets added as a faction Anonymous 21-04-25 18:28:38 No.41717[Reply]

They’re like the necrons, but they actually add something interesting to the lore by not being generic cartoon villains or could-be heroes in rapid decline like the Eldar and tau. The dark mechanicum is a scientifically progressive decentralized faction of ex mechanicum members that use the power of the warp, AI, dark age tech, and innovation—actual just normal innovation—to conquer small pockets of the galaxy. If they win, the galaxy would genuinely be a better place just off the basis that new tech and post human expansion could actually thrive under the weight of chaos and the imperium.
Seriously, these guys could revive the men of iron and have some of them have direct access to forge world and dark age technology. They might even have a StarCraft engine capable of intergalactic travel without the warp.

Fuck yeah. Another poly species human empire with some of the best qualities of both the old humanity and the imperium. Again, they just aren’t as powerful or as intelligent as the mechanicum even with their tech and AI feats.

You do understand that the dark mechanicum is only just shy of being a fully post human faction.

I’m also just going to throw in why I call these guys as being close to necrons

Apparently one of the first skirmishes between the imperium and these guys had the far mechanicum blowing up an entire solar system in a man made supernova. Mind you, that type of violence is the stuff that made necrons show some level of care for the galaxy at large while the dark mechanicum couldn’t give less of a shit if it means scientific progress

Like anon said, it just starts the damn game. It's funny, you can still add and buy EA and Ubisoft games in Steam, but you still have to install their app stores to play their games. So when you add their games to steam, when you launch, they just launch Origin and Uplay and you have launch the game a second time in those apps. Only thing could about Steam is the mod manager shit, how you can subscribe to mods, and get automatic updates to the mods as well as the game. Most mods these days only upload to Steam workshop so that's a big incentive to buy on Steam, but that only applies to games with mods.

That default Steam behavior of always telling you what your friends are playing is pretty weird. I'm sure there is a way to disable that right? But it's strange it's the default setting. Imagine if Netflix pushed non-stop notifications about what your friends are currently watching.
