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.

I’m playing far cry 2 with redux+ realism and I’m amazed by the level of immersion and sense of control I have over my time with it. The mod fully disables all in-game features to assist the players availing to navigate the map meaning your paper map and some screens showcasing your location is all you get to figure out where to go. I’ve navigated my way through several missions off my own accord, having to learn to be patient with outposts, run the fuck away from anything that looks like trouble and fight with barely any ammo is such a unique experience you can’t create in so many games. The world itself even without mods is beautiful and every hour I spend playing makes me feel like I’m genuinely apart of it, something you wouldn’t typically get from a non roleplaying game.

I would like to direct your attention to timestamp 0:25:10, where I have basically a bossfight against one dude armed with that blasted rifle that is going to be my bane. Had to run away, return back at 0:28:10, managed to kill him and check out his weapon.

Finally the last of my footage is uploaded. Died like a chump to a guy I couldnt even see. No idea how I am ever going to get through this game. Those rifles are way too deadly to anything in short-to-mid range, once enemies start carrying them its only matter of time before eating one too many bullets. Next time though I plan to go for more stealth approach.

Back on my bullshit. Nice red shirt completely unsuitable for stealth. UFLL start. Still recording, but not uploading anything unless I manage to get at least to 2nd chapter.
Almost already died right outside of Pala at the start of 1st mission. I carefully approached a checkpoint I cleared during tutorial, because I though it already respawned, but no, it was empty, so I hopped into the car to drive through it and in that movement it did respawn, immediately go turned into Swiss cheese by three guys, had to be rescued by my buddy, and then only barely survived ensuing gunfight. I mean look at this shit.

The way you're playing it, OP, turns FC2 from 6.5/7 to a 10, maybe an 11/10. Turn the in game music off for even more kino.

Year in and year out the EA sports games make up a good chunk of the best selling games. How? Are sports gamers really out there buying the same game every year?

Do sports gamers even exist? Maybe I live in a bubble but I don't ever hear anyone talk about these games. I feel like I'm being lied to.

To prevent this thread from being completely negative I will say that there are some old football games I played as a kid that I still look back fondly on

>Realistic soccer games
The reason why soccer games are boring is not because of realism but rather because they're trying to simulate association football. Most arcade soccer games are basically 5-on-5 football with special moves. Go watch one futsal game, it's fucking insane.

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.

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.
