Well, let's hope you are right. I wouldn't like phone games from Obsidian or stuff like that, because I just don't play phone games. But then again... I love the look of Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land. Still, I just don't want to play on a phone / tablet. If the Cthulhu game would have been released for PC and with bigger maps, etc. I would have bought it at day 1.

Not to forget the first person sandbox PE game.

Meh, sounds bad. But yeah, if they need to do it... But I'll doubt that Kickstarter will be a long time option. At some point, people will jump off and not give money anymore, especially people who gave a lot money first. Like... I won't be able to give 250 dollar for every game, even if Obsidians name is written on it. And smartphones... I haven't found a smartphone game yet, which I find interesting for longer than 5 minutes.

Call of Pripyat was the Stalker game with the least amount of bugs... Great plus. But after so many years, I burned out so hard from the prior Stalker games, that I was unable to finish CoP. It just bored me to death close to the end.

Good to know. I never finished the first game, because I hated the linearity SO MUCH. Won't even think about trying the new game then.

Played some Little Big Planet 2. Not bad so far.

I never said it will make them aggressive, I said you *might* make them aggressive - there is a difference. It's similar to being robbed on the street. If you draw a knife, you are executing an aggressive act, which probably won't scare off your attacker, but rouse him. If there is more than one thug, you most likely won't scare them off, especially if they feel like being tough guys and you don't look like a tough guy. Comparing this with the police is a bit off, as the police is often dealing with "worse" things. But yeah, while we are at it: Many police forces are equipped with tasers nowadays. While also being able to kill people, they are a little less mortal than "normal" guns. Not sure how it is in austria, but in my area, criminal gangs are scouting a house for a while, then break in when the timing is good and then never come back to the place. I never heard of a case where they actually had been caught by anyone in the house or neighbours yet. Anyway. I don't care if you have weapons anywhere in your house. I just find it funny how some people try to defend them with "I must protect myself from all the evil in the world", as if they are getting robbed every week at least once. I personally wouldn't mind "I like guns, so I own a few"-stuff. Myself, I love bows and I am keeping a compound bow in my house, stashed securely as if it would be a gun, with the amunition in a different place, and I am fine with that.

Wondering why they are releasing it for PC. The last MGS game released on PC was MGS2 years ago...

Self defense. Imagine the statistically unlikely but still very real threat of armed home intruders. Such things happen daily; even in our perfectly save bubble-world. When said situation happens do you rely on your ability to.... a.) beg to them to not get hurt b.) talk them down c.) scare them away simply with showing presence d.) jump to the phone to call the police and wait for them which will take a couple of minutes (15 in my case) e.) lock yourself and your loved ones in a save room OR do you do all the things mentioned above BUT with a gun in your hand in case nothing works and the worst case scenario happens - you have to defend yourself and your loved ones in the only way left. In my opinion its never a bad thing to have more options, it would be extremely unlikely that armed robbers would engage me when I SHOW them that I'm armed and equal, nobody wants to risk their life for some furniture, a computer and a couple of bucks. The even more extreme way almost never gets ignored - a warning shot. If that fails, well... Its never bad to have more options. *edit* Even here in Austria its not such a great place when it comes to crime like armed robbery, only a couple of kilometers where I live a homeowner got attacked in the middle of the day by several intruders, got nearly beaten to death with an iron pipe and got robbed. The police arrived at the scene 20 minutes later. Such robberies happen increasingly often. Follow the rules of gun safety, store your gun in a safe and its impossible to have an accident. There is no naivety, only logic and responsible firearm handling. Never heard of a case of armed home intruders here in germany since a very long time. In pretty much all cases, the intruders are waiting till you are not at home to start their robbery. Now I am not saying that it can't happen, just that it is a lot more likely to get your home cleared if you are at work or in hollidays than with gun wielding thugs in the night. And in such cases, a gun won't be worth anything to you. That might be different in other countries, but then again... maybe the intruders must be armed there, because home owners have guns too? :> Besides, imagine your guns are stored safely in whatever room. You are in a different room. Now you have armed intruders getting into your home... and you won't be able to reach your gun store, because the intruders are in front of you. Again, your guns won't be worth anything to you now. Besides #2, if you are armed and in front of the intruders, you might scare them / make them aggressive, so a firefight is actually more likely than without guns.

Looks very good. Will buy it.

Damn, haven't listened to S.P.O.C.K. since like a million years.

Doesn't look like JA: Flashback will make it. Really sad, imo. I don't understand why it doesn't even have 4k backers. Is the franchise burned out because of all the failed attempts at making a new JA game?

It's really tasteless. But funny how some gun nuts are defending it.

Never looked like a military shooter to me. :>

Yeah, Killzone was the first thing coming into my mind after seeing the soldiers. They look super cool and badass, but man... I think it is getting a little old now.

Would be great. At least trying won't hurt anybody.

Yeah, I am in the need of some help for my current modding project, a mission pack for the game Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty (link on GOG, if anyone has no clue what game it is). I am searching for someone who can do me a english officer voice for the intro / cutscene briefing. Something in the style of the original game would be great. -> In fact, if I could get a voice actor for the actual briefing text (shown in the very beginning of the video above), it would be fancy too- but the cutscenes have a higher priority right now. My modification adds 6 new missions to the game. The amount of spoken text I'll need for each mission is approx the lenght of what you can hear in the video above. The missions itself are pretty much finished. Currently I am just fixing bugs and tweaking the position of enemy soldiers, etc. So the only thing that is keeping me away from a release are proof reading and the lack of a voice actor. Now... would anyone nr interested in it? Or does someone know someone who might be interested? As it's a mod project, obviously there won't be any money involved... but then again, if it's a really great voice (and audio file quality) and the price isn't too high, I might be able to give a little bit, if needed... Oh, and here are some screenshots, because I don't like to post such a request without showing anything.

Killing sci-fi nazis. Could be worse, I'll guess.

It probably will. Some things are easier now, but they also added quite a few new combos which I am unable to do right now... I am just not a combo-type of player.

Started playing Zeno Clash 2 today. I think everyone who liked the first game will like the new one as well.

As long as people don't play with their stupid smartphones all the time when you are going somewhere / do something together, they can be as addicted to this crap as they like to, imo... Damn, I hate it so much if you are going out and everyone is typing stuff on the phone.

Sounds good. Getting more and more interested in it.

Heh, pretty good idea. The screenshots in the pc gamer article are great.

What? Zeno Clash 2 is out on steam? I didn't heard any news about anything regarding ZC2.

I would watch more of that movie.
