Keyrock Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 2013-07-31_00022.jpg Hydrophobia? That was my guess. I'm too scared of water to play that game.

SadExchange Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Anyone on a less beastly computer than Bokishi? I could play BF3 well enough but didn't jump into Bf4 due to not knowing how it would play on my pc.
Hurlshort Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 The BF4 beta has actually run better than BF3 on my PC.
SadExchange Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Next question, is anyone here playing? I know Bokishi is, but is anyone else, for possible multiplayer?
Serrano Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 2013-07-31_00022.jpg Hydrophobia? Yep, it's fun, has an interesting hook which they make the most of but it's super shoot. The whole thing took me 3 hours so I definitely wouldn't suggest anyone buy it. I don't think any other game (maybe battlefield 4 now) has done such a good job with water. It's physics based in this game not just a box that you can navigate 360 degrees. The waves roll, corridors and rooms really flood with water pouring in and moving the player and loose objects like crates, putting out fire ect, ect. Paired with the lighting it all looks spectacular in motion and the level design focuses very tightly on the flooding interiors concept which makes the experience a little different to other 3rd person adventure/shooters. It's also worth noting that the main character is Welsh, which was a nice surprise and she has a lovely accent. I hope she finds more work in videogames.

Serrano Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) All I take away from that picture is that the second choice will have consequences, the first option will probably be okay. Edited October 29, 2013 by Serrano

I know Bokishi is, but is anyone else, for possible multiplayer? I've gotten two rounds in so far. Running on a GTX460 and a 3 GHz Quad from AMD. Been running pretty smooth, but I don't have things turned all the way up. Have had a couple crashes, but I wasn't expecting not to. I'm going to need better directions than "the secret lair." -==(UDIC)==-

HoonDing Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Yeah, the game is kinda trollish about the 'love interests' (if you can call them that), taking the piss out of both BioWare and CD Projekt. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
SadExchange Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 All I take away from that picture is that the second choice will have consequences, the first option will probably be okay. What game is that from?

What game is that from? I'm pretty sure it's from that new The Dark Eye game. It's kind of funny, but there were the Realms of Arkania games, then nothing from The Dark Eye system for well over a decade on the video game front, now there have been like 87 The Dark Eye games in the last 5 years or so.

Bokishi Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Yes Battlefield 4 don't skimp on graphics, but I am finding the performance to be on par with BF3 Current 3DMark
melkathi Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Finally got a perfect score on a game in Game Dev Tycoon: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/524961421214489211/A1B73A9E7E7CF124C4A0FD1AFE5D6211B083A357/ A Teddy Bear for Leibowitz - a post apocalyptic rpg, targeted at a mature audience, with Teddy Bears. Originally the title was going to be Bearout. Then I changed it to A Canticle for Bearowitz. Then A Canticle for Bear and eventually to the final title. Seems it was the right decission.

LadyCrimson Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I don't celebrate it in real life, but games make it silly fun.

Lexx Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 It's Keyrocks fault, and I have vacation, so I bought the Train Simulator 2014 now. It's quite relaxing and maybe I'll find myself toying around with the landscape editor too. Just wish the graphic would be a little more pretty. It is not exactly a very action-heavy game, so at least the landscape should be exceptionally pretty, imo. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

One really cool thing I've heard about this franchise is that anyone that had Train Simulator 2013 got automatically upgraded to Train Simulator 2014 for free. Hopefully they do this for TS2015 too. Sure would be nice if the big publishers treated their customers like that instead of, here's a "new" Madden or FIFA with slightly upgraded graphics and updated rosters, otherwise basically identical to the previous game, pay us $60.

Lexx Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Yeah, but to be honest - with their DLC prices, it is the least they can do. I bought the 2014 Steam package, which is 3 routes + a few trains for 41€. If I now want another route, I pay 30€ again. The older routes are a bit cheaper, but this shows (enviroment model graphic quality is not the same level here and there). The game has a career modus, but I didn't really checked it out yet. I know that you can do scenarios with specific tasks and such, but no idea how or if you can somehow progress in the game (other than getting higher scores from driving correctly and staying in time).

True. Though, if I read correctly, the game has Steam Workshop integration and you can scoop up a bunch of user made routes for free.
