Lexx Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 I want to play a pirate themed Minecraft mod. With building ships and cannons and forts and such. That would be awesome. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Nordicus Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 I was always much more of a spelunker than a builder in Minecraft. I'd build a basic home base on surface level, then start digging downward with my limited amount of torches. Then when I see a big labyrinthine cave open up in front of me with dangerous drops everywhere and monster noises coming from nearby, I am having the most fun. I'd love a scarier Minecraft that concentrated on stuff like that. Which is odd because I don't like horror games, although it might be because I massively prefer being scared by non-scripted stuff.
Blarghagh Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 I built a couple of neat things in Minecraft but on a whole, but the most stressful moments in that game have always been finding monsters in sprawling caves.

Chilloutman Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 That looks amazing and terrifying...but I'm not sure I would play that game stoned Resident evil finally going back to its roots? I played some recent one and it was more action game than horror one I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"
Keyrock Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Resident evil finally going back to its roots? I played some recent one and it was more action game than horror one The first Revelations was a return to the series slower paced, atmospheric, claustrophobic roots, this looks to be more of the same, except they're trading in a ship for a prison and Jill and Chris for Claire and Moira (Barry Burton's daughter). It seems like the "core" numbered series has gone down the action shooter path to stay while the "offshoot" Revelations series will provide the old-school Resi experience. I'm fine with that as long as they keep making the Revelations series. Also, I'm super excited to get a game where you play as Claire again. It's been a really really long time. What was the last game she starred in? Code Veronica? Hopefully they have her Resi 2 and Code Veronica outfits unlockable, as well as her Browning Hi-Power, assuming she doesn't start with that as default.

Agiel Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 In honour of the release of Destiny, Tom Chick writes a piece on Halo: Combat Evolved espousing his belief that "The Library" was one of the greatest FPS levels of all time... which I actually think is bang on: http://www.quartertothree.com/fp/2014/09/09/defense-halos-library/ For me, I actually really enjoyed the level since playing it co-op, it was the experience of playing Left 4 Dead an entire seven years before Left 4 Dead came out, and Chick hit the nail on the head about the shotgun. Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling

The Library is about plunging into the inscrutable guts of a massive alien structure. If it seems big and tedious, that’s the point. Oohkay, here I was thinking games are supposed to be fun. Well, where artistically inclined see all kinds of things from feelings to references in a surrealist painting, I see only weird meaningless mess. The repetitive levels ruined Halo for me, like the level designers often just made a small part of a level and then copy pasted it ten times in a row.
Rosbjerg Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Never played it, but that does sound like a failed approach - although an awesome plot twist. I think Half Life 2 made a much stronger approach here, when you came into the Citadel in City 17. Fortune favors the bald.

I *really* enjoyed the setting on the ship, I thought it was just awesome. But I wouldn't have considered it a "scary" game per-se, certainly not in the sense that F.E.A.R. (1) or Dead Space (1) were scary to me (I actually had to take the first Dead Space in chapter sized chunks and similar for F.E.A.R.). I do hope the controls will be better optimized for PC this time around (not that they did such a bad job with Revelations, but being able to look up/down when not aiming would be rather nice to have for starters) and that the boss fights will be less obnoxious (at least on the lower difficulties) It's been a very long time since it's last happened but it appears I'm actually looking forwards to an AAA game again!

Because it scared me off from actual game proper due to how insane it was. It'd probably have been better appreciated if they had another demo level before that to acclimatise the player to the game before throwing them in the deep end. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

Bester Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) So Hex... Bought a beta key for 2 euros off a polish homeless guy who's going to eat for a week for that money. Damn it's good. Like MTG circa 2005 or so, with fewer cards. It's not MTG just yet, but it's definitely getting there. And the graphics.... godlike compared to MTG. Why can't MTG pour some cash into making a new graphical engine? Morons. Hearthstone is so primitive and childish compared to a kickstarted funded game. Just wow, it's incredible how much Blizz sucks nowadays. Edited September 14, 2014 by Bester IE Mod for Pillars of Eternity: link
