Fuck yeah it is. Play Ranger Hardcore, it's the only right way to play Metro.

UANKLE BURBOON

I played through it and like it. The Metro games are pretty awesome anyway. Metro Redux of 2033 fixes some minor things and has fewer load screens where they combined several levels. Looks a bit better and seems to run a bit better then the original.

Don't know what the difference between Last Light original and Redux is though.

Overall some fantastic games and probably the closest we are getting to sequels to Stalker. Though anyone going into the game should be aware while there are many similarities (some of the people who worked on Stalker formed 4A games and the novels the games are based on are kinda similar to Roadside Picnic) the gameplay is pretty different, Metro being a linear shooter compared to Stalker's open world design.

Probably the only thing bad about it is it along with Stalker has inspired some chav ass motherfuckers in Russia to completely fuck up some old bunkers and underground storerooms.

Metro 2033 was great. I ended up playing through it several times, Redux is essentially the director's cut edition and fixes a lot of bullshit like the Amoebas.

Last Light, I dunno. I played through it once and didn't feel any inclination to go back to it. It felt kinda like a "Red Dawn 2", something that missed the point of the original property. Or like how the two sequels to "Jarhead" are direct-to-DVD action movies.

The biggest improvement I noticed in Last Light Redux (never got around to finishing it, like you said it wasn't as good as 2033) was that they actually made Ranger mode playable. In the original release, there was no way to check your supplies at all, for some stupid reason. In Redux they add that to the journal screen, where it was in 2033.

Helpful play aid sheet for B-17.

FLAK STORM: German WWII Anti-Aircraft Defense (1080p)
DOCUMENTARY TUBE

>>58428
Interesting instructional training video on bomber crew flying evasive maneuvers in order to avoid anti-aircraft artillery fire. I remember reading interviews with older pilots who were flying bombing missions during the '91 Gulf War who also flew 20+ years previously in the Vietnam War. They could actually maneuver their nimble F-16 Falcons away from flak artillery shells that they saw. And when other attack aircraft flew effective flak and SAM suppression ahead of the bombers, the anti-aircraft problems quickly dwindled away.

Is that VR? That's fucking cool looking.

Man, i've been playing a lot of Insurgency and some Warthunder here and there.
Also kind of getting back into fractured space.
I bought Subnautica but haven't played it in some time.
This is all when i'm actually home, which I haven't been for most of the summer as I was in Texas for a few months.

What have all you other faggots been up to?

  >>58405
The game is pretty much Insurgency in VR, played 8 vs 8. I've never toyed with VR but as I understand it, movement is handled via an analog stick on the controller. It looks fucking amazing, might buy me a VR set just for this.

  Fuck this is good. I'm getting PTSD just watching these videos.

  Some more gunplay. Note that the videos are most likely taken from the left eye perspective, so it looks like he's almost never aiming down the sights.

It's a good thing that Gearbox didn't stake the fate of their company on Battleborn, man wouldn't that be bad?

>>58200
lol might of bought it if I didn't hate gearbox's shitty sense of humor

  Was waiting for this guy to make a video.

A little over two and a half months after it released, Battleborn is now in the $15 tier of a Humble Bundle. Player count is currently around 500 per day.

Brutal as ever. That guy is the MDE of video game shit.

Should have way more subs.

>try out the hard life mod
>first "real" mission
hoo boy

I have two questions about the Hard Life configurator: How do the "Max hunger percent" and "Max weapon wear" work exactly?
Does setting "Max hunger percent" to 0% make so that mercs don't suffer from hunger? Does setting "Max weapon wear" to 100% make so that enemies can get weapons that are falling apart?

How am I supposed to use the sight adapters like the WR>Mini14 one? I tried dragging it over the weapon, using the toolbox while my character is holding both the weapon and the toolbox, I tried dragging and dropping a random sight on the adapter, none of that seemed to work. Pls help.

>>58302
Nevermind I'm retarded, I just realized I was trying to mount a scope meant for an M24 on a Weaver rail.

Alright, I have another question - what are the crafting recipes? The steam forums say that there's a file with all of them in it and yet I can find it. So far I only managed to make tripwires. For example I can't figure how to install fuses on the mortar shells you can buy at the rebels' camp.

What difficulty?

>>58265

Hurt Me Plenty. And sure, you'll say I should have done my first playthrough on Ultra-Violence from the getgo. But Hurt Me Plenty is the standard.

It's not like game mechanics change between Hurt Me Plenty & Ultra-Violence. If you can hop around on one while barely taking a scratch, then you can do the same on the other.
All enemies did at time is chip a bit of armor away. And I nearly always saved my ubers (quad, invuln, speed, berserk) thinking a larger wave of enemies would come which would require a well timed uber to beat.
I only used the BFG on the final boss. Hell, at one point I caught myself thinking, "what's the green spinning thing on the ground that I can never pick up? Oh, right... BFG ammo".
Same thing with the chainsaw. It feels like such a cop out weapon that I never used it. I'm sure that on Ultra-Violence/Nightmare/Ultra-Nightmare it's a requirement to use.

Either way, it's a beautiful game, with some nice weapons, but overall I'm not convinced it'll live past a single playthrough for most people. The choice to focus on achievements and trials feels wrong to me. The fact secrets on the map now grant permanent upgrades in the form of argent energy is also something that doesn't sit well with me. I was fine with the old style secrets which gave you weapons slightly earlier, health/armor/ammo or a uber.

>>58273
Got it the other day and had read some reviews about it getting kind of boring until you get to the harder modes, so started on Ultra-Violence difficulty. I guess it's technically "harder" but it really seems to just be more enemies, and you have to plan/think about how to clear certain areas rather than just running through it.

And yeah agree on the secrets. I'm just getting through it the first time then will go back for secrets, but some friends I was playing with are definitely are type to get everything on the first run and probably not do another full run through

>I'm just getting through it the first time then will go back for secrets, but some friends I was playing with are definitely are type to get everything on the first run and probably not do another full run through

Yeah, I got 90% of the secrets on first run. I also started trying to do all challenges at first, but about halfway through I stopped bothering with that since it got really boring. I think in the end I cleared about 60% of the challenges and 80% of the trials.
I do think some of the trials will be significantly harder on higher difficulty.

Anyone see that Huniepop was 69% off?
Anyways, the game has been surprisingly fun.
I don't even like anime, so I haven't fapped to it, even after enabling the uncensored version. Trufax.

I personally am amused at listening to the various VA's fake orgasms when you bed the various girlz.

How often do you guys run big missions together? What day of the week, usually?

  >>58261

Friday nights and Saturday Afternoons. We disable third person view in PVP scenarios but allow it in COOP ones. Inbetween events/weekends we try to organize sessions in other games or have some good old Zargabad insurgency.

If you hate realism units you'll fit right in.

>>58238
Why don't you stream your build? Or at least post your build on YouTube? How did you get the game? Was it an download or sent to you by disk? Can the game be copied on a disk? If it can be copied to a disk can you send it to me? Can you please e-mail me and I can send you my address so you could send me a copy. I appreciate the help. Thank you

>>58239
>isdisniggaserious.tga?

No. Go buy it on steam when it's on sale like I did.

op i have many a disc's. please post your address here so can send fast.

>>58247
How much would it cost? If it cost $25.00 I can't afford it.

>>58255
what are you, 11?
it's $12 on sale right now at steam.

>>58251

Interesting, I bought the first couple games years ago in a charity shop for like a euro a piece, never installed them but I should be able to get them on steam from the disks. At least if the codes are good, I give it a 70/30 chance in favour.

Perfect opportunity to enjoy these highly recommended games for the first time.

To be honest the old Bioshock games don't even look that bad on PC. I feel like this is just another one of those recent "remasters" that's only there to cash in on the lack of backwards compatibility on current gen consoles, by offering titles from less than a decade ago with nominally improved visuals and, probably the biggest actual improvement (which PC users obviously already had), 60fps/1080p. Not super hyped, though more 'shock is never a bad thing I guess, speaking of which...

The System Shock remaster/reboot, on the other hand, is looking very fuckin' neato. This is a game that really needed a remaster, considering how painfully aged the original control scheme and UI specifically both are. They've even thrown up a playable 15~ minute demo to coincide with their Kickstarter release.
