ManifestedISO Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) It is definitely confusing. Still not as bad as trying to buy comics on Comixology with Paypal now that Amazon bought the former and is a competitor with the latter, even though Marvel still has a PayPal button on their digital comics purchase page. Confusing for newbs like me. I think it's better to buy prints in-person from a physical store anyway ... Edited May 25, 2014 by ManifestedISO All Stop. On Screen.

ManifestedISO Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Wolenstein the New Order ? You were right, anyway. HardOCP's PC performance review says it's Wolfenstein's game engine, more or less. The word of the day for Wolfenstein: The New Order on the PC is "restrictive." We have learned a lot about this game, and what we've learned is that this game suffers in many ways. It suffers as a game that reminds us of a focus on the console experience, rather than the PC gaming experience. It suffers as a game that reminds us of RAGE again, with many issues not learned, or ignored from that game three years ago. All Stop. On Screen.

Lexx Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 It does have some minor texture buffering problems here and there, just like Rage, just not as extreme (it never takes as long to load a texture as it did in Rage). It doesn't really bother me, tbh. What I hate more is the weapon selecting stuff via mouse wheel. That's really annoying... oh well, at least there are the 1, 2, 3,... hotkeys like in any other FPS.

marelooke Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/05/22/metro-redux-officially-announced-with-debut-trailer/ Probably doesn't make sense for people that already have the games, particularly on PC, where you could get 60 fps (assuming your hardware is capable) already, but this is perfect for me I've never played 2033, and while I have played some of Last Light, I don't own it, so this is a no-brainer. This will purr nicely on the SteamOS monster rig I'm currently building. Nothing they say in the article really makes me want to buy the Redux versions. I mean, having improved stealth in 2033 would be nice, but not "only 50% off if you already own the games"-nice. The cynic in me is wondering how much truth there is to the rumour of the developer wanting to make an easy (certainly easier and faster than developing a new game) buck on their existing games in order to be able to escape from the mess that is the Ukraine-situation.

marelooke Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I wouldn't blame them if it is true. Eh, I can't (and won't) blame them for trying to get out of that political mess. I can (and will) blame them for trying to rip off their customers though. Especially since the former is only speculation. So far nothing I've heard from a purely gaming perspective properly justifies these "Redux" versions. Here's to hoping they clarify things a bit, preferably soon before the backlash reaches truly epic proportions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU_Xjgru_pY 30 minute preview of Risen 3.. with a second part that I didn't watch (and am too lazy to link to). Lots of complaints about not enough improvements graphically from Risen 2, but I think it looks good enough. 2 Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Keyrock Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The graphics look fine as far as I'm oncerned.

ManifestedISO Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 French-fried sideburns and spectacular particulate explosions. I'm ready. [The Order: 1886 video] Too many games lately where you play as a librul socialist commie terrorist. Well, it was just delayed until February, probably because of that LSCT cabal. Which now puts it right in my window to play PoE. But it's okay, I can handle it: micro-role-playing on the PC, macro-shooter on console. Might be a nice gameplay balance for Valentine's Day.

So far nothing I've heard from a purely gaming perspective properly justifies these "Redux" versions. Here's to hoping they clarify things a bit, preferably soon before the backlash reaches truly epic proportions. As far as I'm concerned, and this goes for almost all situations, the customer is on his or her own and should make an informed purchase (or lack of). If they don't, and impulse buy, then shame on them. If you, as a customer, don't do research before you buy, then I have no compassion for you whatsoever. Deal with it. (note: I'm using 'you' as directed toward potential uninformed customer, not as an attack at marelooke him/herself) Like I wrote before, these games, which are available separately, or as a packge, don't make much sense for many people. If you already own Last Light on PC there is really no reason to buy this Redux version. Whatever AI improvements they make are likely minor. If you already own 2033, then it's a judgement call. Is the imprevement in engine and graphics, as well as whatever minor AI improvements and Linux version, worth it to you? For someone like me, who owns neither game, it's very much worth it. That said, it would be cool if Deep Silver offered a discount to people who own one or both of the games already.

Heh, what you don't know is that 4A Games are actually deeply pro-maidan, pro-western fascists (incredible how one can tend towards western world and at the same time not understand democracy at all, using nazi slogans, symbolics and rhetorics) and are actually quite happy with their "situation" - with a civil war against their russian speaking citizens, with their new oligarch president because he will be making politically pro-western moves, no matter what price their economy will pay, no matter how much falsified their elections were, no matter how much this oligarch will be stealing from the budget, etc. Edited May 27, 2014 by Bester IE Mod for Pillars of Eternity: link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
