Pictures of your Games Episode VIII The Fast - The Picturesque

[Drowsy Emperor]

That was the point where the game went from merely very good to unforgettable.

 

I miss the days when European designers tried to do their own thing instead of slavishly following popular US trends.

Hey, at least Tetris is getting a movie trilogy.

I googled it and I still can't believe Tetris movie is a thing. Had to visit 5 websites before I was satisfied they weren't mirrors of the Onion.

i rember almost nothing about Syberia 2

 

 

 

 

 

[sorophx]

my cavalry is growing!

 

it's so hard to get mounted units in this for some reason. I'm sure some place trains them but I don't want to look it up online, so I'm left with tracking down bandit groups that have cavalry officers as prisoners.

 

attack!

 

the armor and blade aren't red originally, the pile of corpses in the background should give you a hint

you can see its a pre sjw game

 

nowadays every monk would be female, fat and have pink hair

The orthodox church never emphasizes hell, punishment, eternal damnation etc. You can see the script writer was from a catholic or protestant tradition.

I meant the new, rebooted ones The old ones were split fairy equally between combat, platforming and puzzles, whereas the new ones are 90% murder simulator and 10% everything else. I mean the old games were clunky as hell but they were an adventure of sorts, wheres I got tired of all the killing and never finished the reboot.

What got me hooked on Tomb Raider in the first place was the sense of exploration and discovery. Loved going where no (wo)man had gone for centuries and sometimes beyond the games borders

 

Tomb Raider 2 was fun too, albeit a very different game. At TR III, they had sort of lost their touch and it was too much linearity and puzzles. IV was the first I didn't complete (those were the days before cheats and tutorials widely available on the internet). I bought the... not sure what it's name is but the first one of the new generation of Tomb Raider (same visual style as the sceenshots from sorophx), but it's telling I don't even remember it's name (and dropped it after 10 minutes, never to pick it up again).

It is just called "Tomb Raider" though it's generally referred to as Tomb Raider 2013 (to differentiate it from the original).

[Drowsy Emperor]

IMO the Anniversary edition more or less encapsulates what the games were about in a modernized form. But the Uncharted formula was easier to make and more palatable to an audience weaned on shooters so the reboots went that route.

 

I almost got suckered in as the opening to TR (the new one) was really good, but at some point it just became about murdering droves upon droves of enemies and I concluded that I didn't feel like playing a shooter so off the hard drive it went.

I finally got to play Spintires
 

 

it's meditative. spent two hours getting my first load to my first location. then another 1.5 hours loading lumber manually:

 

nothing more satisfying than getting a stuck Kamaz out of a ditch at 2 in the morning:

[Fenixp]

I'll just base interior design of my future apartment/house on Mankind Divided. Screw that bath tho, I'm getting a whirlpool.

[Drowsy Emperor]

So they bundle the Sims now with Deus Ex

I decided to go into the newspaper business. The truth shall set you free and all that.
 

[quidproquo]

What game is that, melkathi?

I find it impressive how the houses often look so rundown, but all their bathrooms are twice the size of my living room.

[Fenixp]

Most of apartments in the game only have a small bathroom - just a shower, toilet and a trash bin, naturally. This one's from the huge, expensive apartments with automated passively aggressive defense systems.

[Lexx]

Still working on my ArmA3 campaign. Currently I am wrapping up the intro video. It's almost done- just needs a few tweaks here and there.

What game is that, melkathi?

 

The Daily Chtonicle: Editor's Edition

The Daily Chtonicle: Editor's Edition

(early access)

for such a paltry sum? Already purchased. I looked at it and it seems that blokes are irritated at the learning curve. I was hoping that it was a Lovecraftian game and, from what I've seen. it must be. No way to win? Always facing imminent doom or insanity at every step? I have high hopes. Just to be clear, even if it's not my cuppa, can't take away my excitement at the prospect, so it's all good!

[melkathi]

You need to read the manual.

If that makes it a steep learning curve...

Trying out the "noir" setting in Daily Chthonicle

 

 

This looks like useful loot!

 

It was useful!

[HoonDing]

[sorophx]

getting in and out of trouble in Spintires

 

 

 

this one was especially tricky:

 

first the orange truck got stuck on some boulders, tried pushing it out with the 8-wheeler and got stuck with that one too. had to bring in yet another 8-wheeler. it's a miracle nothing turned over.

 

and a bunch of beauty shots to close the deal.
