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.

  New Insurgency game, with a single player/coop campaign.

  CrowbCat's summary is out.

>>59028
Holy shit, the we wuz kings line fucking slayed me.
I've never heard of this dude, thank you for bringing this to my attention.

>>59027
>New Insurgency
>with SP/coop

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
>>59019
>>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.

Not being able to reclaim my old user profile and not being able to use the unlocks in SP made me fucking PISSED.
Hopefully they will address this, I dont want to grind the medic at Karkand for days again.

yeah brah nothing says 1996 shooter like roguelite elements and reloading taped to a OBLIGE map generator.

>>58990
And this is a decent outcome for a Kickstarter / early access game. Which is why I don't.

I don't even preorder big budget games. I wait till it's out, see what the interenets says about it, then buy or not. (Which was a good call on Mass Erect.)

>>58984
The answer to the picture's question is: Console plebs.

Fallout 4 is by far my favorite. I put a good amount of hours into Tactics. Like 70 hours into FO3. 81 into New Vegas. 524 into FO4 and still going.

I really love Fallout 4. 1) Rampaging. 2) Mods. 3) Settlements.

I've got a whole stack of newer games I've been ignoring to play more Fallout 4.

>>58985
I have problems with Fallout 4, though not settlement building like many (beyond it being too limited), but yeah I'd say its my favorite of the Fallouts. I love New Vegas but its limited by Fallout 3's combat system and Vegas itself being disappointing mostly (though it finally gave players a place to fuck around in a business suit without looking like a idiot).

Fallout 4 looks pretty damn good even on my i5 system, the combat is smooth as butter, and the companion system is FAR superior to Fallout 3 plus the companions are better themselves.

My complaints really were lack of weapons, DLC being halfway garbage, and the patented Bethesda problem of your character being the leader of every fucking thing but nothing to show for it really and not able to do anything with it.

I've now put 83 more hours in Fallout 4 then Skyrim (which I put in 804 hours) and while that doesn't come anywhere close to the insane 1613 hours I've put in New Vegas (really shows how much of a social life I have) I can truthfully say other then playing some mods like Project Brazil and The Frontier I've put all the time into NV that I want to. I feel the same way about 3, have very little intention of playing it again, atleast not for a long, long while.

Fallout 4 I haven't even came close to burning through and know the best mods haven't came out.

I do hope Obsidian comes out with another Fallout game. Beth makes them good and Obsidian makes them even better. I just wish they'd collab, Obsidian does good writing but didn't make the best environment while Beth makes stunning fun to explore environments but doesn't have the best writing. Obsidian sticks to the west while Beth sticks to the east.

They need to meet in the middle and make Fallout Detroit. If for nothing else then all the jokes about how a post apocalyptic Detroit looks better and has less crime then IRL Detroit.

>>58983

Hey man, that's like your opinion, man.

No one is forcing you to buy these games. Just please don't support companies which buy up franchises just to rape everything it stands for.

Thanks. ;)

>Fallout has always been silly from the get go, the very setting with futuristic 50s tech is silly.

That's not silly, that's retrofuturistic?

>Sure Fallout 1 was nowhere near as silly as future games but it had its moments.
>Its dark and bleak but silly as fuck, almost Monty Python-esq.

>That's not silly, that's retrofuturistic?

Retrofuturistic, which is silly. Though thats not a bad thing by a lot. I in particular love 80s style retrofuture. Music practically ripped from the actions movies of the decade like done by Power Glove and Carpenter Brut, cheesy shows like Moonbeam City and Kung Fury, and one of my favorite video games ever set in the future year of 2007, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon. But all the neon lights and electronic music is silly as fuck but thats one of the things that makes its awesome.

Just the same Fallout with its 50s inspired aesthetic mixed with what the 50s that the future would look like, advanced robots and mainframe computers running detailed simulations and human like AIs with vacuum tubes, nuclear everything, space exploration, and good old fashioned Cold War paranoia. Its so fucking unique and awesome.

>There's some slapstick, but the most of it is nihilistic, dark, and ironic. Most of the slapstick moments were actively induced by the player though. Needing extremely high LCK , or incredibly low INT.

It was still there, still part of the game. Even in later Beth titles most of the really silly stuff is confined to certain moments, you can play the games completely seriously (as I do, maybe too seriously in the case of New Vegas, I go a bit wacky hunting Legion). I've played Fallout 4 completely seriously, full immersion with no breaking of suspension.......until the game crashes. Wouldn't be a Bethesda game without crashes.

I do think they need to do more for low INT characters, not have someone dumber then a short bus supermutant become leader of the Institute or be able to hack computers.

>Then why should people care about your complaints?

I never said anyone should, but I'd appreciate it?

>Think about the trials others face before you speak of your own.

You're kinda missing the point. I don't care about the games mentioned and I'm not perpetuating the trend which you're commenting on by simply not buying the game mentioned, so what exactly am I doing wrong?

>Most of the NMA seem to be old school gamers, even tabletop gamers, not really down with fast paced action.

I was a hardcore Counterstrike player. Is that a fast paced first person shooter enough?

It's not about us not being down with fast paced action, it's about making the game into something it was never intended to be? Make an offshoot, sure. No problem. But making it a sequel and tell us the old way is dead? Well fuck you.

I'm playing wildlands a lot on Xbox One. GT: everybodydrops also, shame on you all for not making a Payback Enterprises task force yet. Shame.

>Anyone else playing?

Yes, on PS4.

>>58926
On pc. Not having a lot of fun with it so far. Too repetitive.

>>58963

Agreed. Better with the "open world" bit than The Division, though, what with the vast acre-age of unusable/un-enterable skyscrapers.

I got Wildlands and I've beaten it with 100% in each area of the cartel. I found it somewhat repetitive but in the same way that I found some of the old MMOs I played repetitive. I enjoyed the stealth, sniper tactics, found myself yelling at my AI controlled teammates for not fighting more aggressively when I fucked up those tactics and laughed at a whole hell of a lot of glitches. I do not play multiplayer because I can't be getting my ass handed to me or deal in tactics with teenagers or preteens who enjoy some of the same things I enjoy.

Overall, I enjoyed it. I don't think I'll invest in any of the DLC though. My experience and satisfaction with the story is complete.

I just went 55-0 with the attack plane. The next round I went fighter and shot down 12 planes, got reported for cheating, and cussed out by 3 people.

It's not that I have pro MLG skills or anything, they just sucked.

Got back into the game, frontline is fucking excellent. Go play it.

>>58953
I had a Frontlines match on Verdun Heights that took nearly as long as the actual Battle of Verdun. After 98 minutes the game called it a draw. It was Overwatch-tier frustrating.

Also, updated my Origin profile pic.

>>58954
There's always one god mode point for each side that takes an hour to fucking break.

Once you do though, holy shit is it satisfying.

  >>58646
They'll attack you, but the damage they deal is minimal.

>>58647
Yeah, mostly just there to have something you can crowd control/Dynasty Warriors on. Even if they surround you though, don't expect to lose more than 10% or so of your health.

Video related, some gameplay I recorded.

Any of you fuckers playing this? I have a rep 4 Raider with an Armor Level of 97. Thinkin about leveling a Zerker next. I need people to play with.

>>58956
sadly no, i only enjoy the 1v1 or 2v2 and fuck if i can gety a match anymore

i blame poor marketing, people expected a dynasty warriors game and they got a brawler.

and i love that this game is more streat fight er than dynasty warriors but no one fucking plays the match type i enjoy anymore.

>>58958
>i blame poor marketing, people expected a dynasty warriors game and they got a brawler.

P2P hosting probably didn't help matters.

>>58958
Imho, I see it more of like if Mortal Kombat and Diablo had an illegitimate love child. I play Raider and he's not super great at duel or brawls. Actually he's widely considered to be the worst class. I'm in the top 4% of people who play him tho. I prefer Dominion personally.

>>58959
Yeah, they need dedicated servers. I can't tell you how many matches I get disconnected from.

Also, I'm rep 5 now and have top armor class.
