Looks interesting. The fact there is no combat actually has me interested. I love combat games but having something a bit different sounds kinda cool.

Main thing I wanna know is about the soundtrack. Highly narrative games can be made or broken I think depending on the soundtrack.

I just watched my buddy play for like 20 minutes. It's a horror game.

Played it for just shy of 2 hours. I like it so far, I just wish they'd allow you to change the field of view. something feels off for me. Tried to find it in the config files, but didn't find anything obvious sadly.

Finished it in 7 hours.

If you like nice visuals and are a cyberpunk addict, you should probably give it a try. It's somewhat iffy if it's worth 25 bucks though.
If you dislike slow story telling and hate jump scares (though most aren't that annoying), this isn't the game for you.

My main gripe with the game aside from the field of view and jitteriness of the graphics (on purpose, but playing too long makes me a bit queasy) is that one of the two main endings is significantly superior to the other.

It should be rather obvious though from the previous hints that he can't be trusted and is manipulating you. His hate for you is real and he clearly has no morals when it comes to taking life or manipulating people. As such, rejecting the offer gives you the most satisfying ending.

Redid the loop again. Added a second 1080.

And again, probably the final change until I upgrade it

Bought Earth Defense Force 4.1, which is the first EDF game I've tried out, because I was curious what all the hype was about. Holy shit, is this game fun as hell. Difficult as fuck once you start cranking up the difficulty, too.

Only complaint is that I thought I'd enjoy Air Raider as a class a bit more, but the lack of turret options (long ass reload times), weapons other than Limpet rifles and the vehicles which center around online co-op play and can't be manned by NPCs (seriously, why can't they have the NPCs jump in gunner positions) makes it pretty meh for singleplayer. Actually thought Ranger would be the most boring, but I've ended up enjoying it the most.

Also bought a bunch of weeb games, Watch_Dogs (it was cheap) and Dirt Rally.

One thing that really annoys me is how there isn't a definitive racing sim(ish) game on Steam. There's Project CARS, which no thanks. Assetto Corsa, which seems like the "best" option, but still limited in cars. But there's no Forza or Gran Turismo equivalents (I initially thought this was what Project CARS was... until I realized it has fuckall in terms of car choice, all the physics problems and how you can customize vehicles.).

Heard great things about Forza Horizon 2/3. But fuck Games for Windows Live, I'm not buying it through that shit.

>>59065
Apparently it's related to Steamworks integration, because I had the same trouble back when my old HDD was failing. Steam would crash randomly and if it happened while I was playing, the next level change would result in a crash.

Also the Tomahawk is a fun agrav, fast but it's got decent health and can carry some good gun combos, I like the Banshee and the Vortex gun on it.

>>59070
Yeah, that sounds like pretty bad programming if the game crashes because of something like that. Couldn't they just make it fail nicely? There's a GOG version, which wouldn't have that problem.

I got:
Stardew Valley
Icewind Dale 1: Enhanced Edition (even though I have the original game disks)
Darklands (for nostalgia)

I got My Summer Car. Which is pretty much Finnish GTA. The controls are a bit wonky but it has lots of charm. Premise is building a car to tool around in. Like every bolt, belt, and small gear which you can't remember what it does or where exactly it goes but hopefully it isn't too important. You can brew sugar wine out of a plastic bucket to sell to a drunk for extra money, give people the finger, sauna, get drunk, more sauna, and generally enjoy the Finnish experience. The game doesn't hold your hand and even simple tasks like going to the store has resulted in 5 of my characters meeting their untimely demise. (Permadeath is the default mode)

FWIW the original Rising Storm is free for the next 40 hours or so.

Full game is out. I really enjoy flying the helicopters and the larger maps are pretty enjoyable. The smaller maps are absolute shit. Way too god damn hectic.

Then again, i've been spoiled by Squad.

I picked it up. Been loving it.

Albeit a server admin was bitching because he napalmed strike like 15 of his own guys and someone punished him. I called him on being a whiny little girl and he replied with "Who was saying I was whining". Knowing full well what would happen I told him it was me, and to go ahead and ban me and prove my point. He did. Ban message is "whine about this" I laughed so damn hard.

Children in adult skin.

I did shoot down a heli with an RPG apparently right when 3 guys rushed me. Cause I got 5 kills total. Pilot and copilot (attack heli) and 3 corpses behind me. DAT BACKBLAST DOE

The M14's best niche in the game is barrier penetration and long range pot shots, considering the M16 is a damn near ballistically perfect laser rifle, and I can put 3 rounds into a target in the same time it takes to recover from a standing M14 shot.

Downing Heli's with the RPG has gotten tougher since the game went gold - the flightpath gets erratic at distance

  No mention yet on how shotguns are absolutely fantastic. It will carry you through the more hectic situations at close range, and still do surprisingly well at range. The 00 buckshot seems to handle everything well, have not really felt any use for the other ammo types.

Yeah, SWAT4 with Sherrifs Mod.

Call me fucked in the head but I loved SWAT 3 GOTY more than 4. Especially after I learned how to use the Hammer Editor. Made a mini Black Mesa map and rigged up the a Gordon Freeman bad guy.

>>59003

I also preferred the 3rd.

I just played through all of SWAT 4 & expansion with Elite Force mod.
It combines the SWAT 4 and Stetchkov Syndicate into one campaign and improves the officer and suspect AI. You can also find trapped doors in maps with barricaded suspects and collectable drug baggies where junkies live.

There's also a bunch of changes to equipment, weight slows you down your walking speed and bulk changes how fast you do things like arrest people or deploy equipment. It also changes weapon behavior with more ammo types and less-lethal weapons can now injure or kill people if you use it wrong, so no more bean bag headshots for funsies.

See the v5 changelog for the full details.

how in the actual fuck is METRO cancer?

Some people look out too much for some "survival" content, open world like in STALKER, and when they see this game, they become kinda disappointed because it is nothing like any survival. If anything, my guess, this game's structure reminds too much of HL2 - overall very linear and detailed story, lots of side events and places, and some scripted events. But there's nothing wrong with that, it only makes it more enjoyable.

>>59026
Alot of people went in expecting STALKER and while I love Metro its no STALKER. No open world, very linear, and much less difficulty depending on the setting to where its far more superman vs peons then STALKER on lower difficulties .

I still think Metro captures some of the spirit of STALKER thanks to their shared history and somewhat similar premise but Metro is certainly no STALKER.

Of course there is no more STALKER. Surviarium which looks like micro-transaction trash multiplayer only garbage, STALKER 2 that will happen around the same time as Half Life 3 and probably won't even be good considering most of GSC left, and the various STALKER mods for Source and the CryEngine that are dead, are dying, or will be dead.

Truly the Zone is a lonely place for a STALKER.

>>59033
really for me stalker ad metro scratch a different itch and im fine with that, one is open, one is linear and i like both for different reasons.

>>59034
Certainly is true. The difference between the play styles makes them very different beasts. STALKER is an open world game along the lines of Skyrim or Beth Fallout where you can walk around, go make trouble or even just sit down and enjoy the sights. I can think of moments that made me go "wow" in almost all those games. Seeing the Mall in Fallout 3, seeing the Ferris Wheel in SoC, seeing the Ranger Monument in Vegas, the view of the drained river or swamp or whatever with all the rusting boats in CoP, and the Pyrdwyn coming in in Fallout 4. Strangely cannot think of any wow moments that stick out in Skyrim or CS. I can think of one for a Skyrim mod, the underground city in Enderal.

Games like Metro or the Cowadootys or any other linear game rarely have a chance to admire the scenery, to take a moment to breath, to really feel like you are in control rather then having some unseen puppeteer directing you to the next battle. Its like an on the rails shooter but with a tiny bit more freedom.

I mean I'm not saying thats a bad thing, its just sometimes its not what you want, sometimes you want a story told to you in between shooting fuckers in the brain meats and sometimes you want to explore a world in between shooting fuckers in the brain meats.

I've lost any hype I had for Beyond Good and Evil 2 now that more info is coming out. Sounds like another No Man's Sky-esque boondoggle. What a shame.

My dick is diamonds...

I'll have to give it another try. I tried it years ago and while I liked the style of everything, the bugs and respawning enemies killed my interest. (pretty sure they kept respawning anyway)

I keep hoping the game will be remade with a real budget but so far that hasn't happened. (it did for Pathologic, another game with a cult following by a small European developer)

>>59019
that constant enemy-respawning killed it for me too.

>>59019
>>59020
You can adjust pretty much everything difficulty-wise in the game options. There's general difficulty, enemy respawn rate and enemy reinforcement limit, AI accuracy, AI sound detection rate, AI sight detection rate. Making it harder (I think) gives more brouzouf.

>>59017

>>59020
Having just bought it on Steam, I haven't experienced any actual bugs other than text vanishing if I alt-tab out of the game and come back to it.

>>59020
The whole point is to shoot people, why are you bitching about things to shoot?

>>59022
Or slash, or hack, or make them go crazy, or teleport yourself inside of and pink mist, etc.
