Lexx Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Wasnt the release of a crappy remake lately, which made the original look 100 times better? "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Obsidian sucks Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Wasnt the release of a crappy remake lately, which made the original look 100 times better? I dont know much about it but they remade the first game four or five years ago and I believe they just released part two. I might check out the second one, theyre supposed to have fixed a lot of the first games problems and it does look quite a bit better. Honestly though, Im in love with the original game graphics, illustrator dont really draw that way anymore and I rather like that older style. 1 Deviant Art
GhostofAnakin Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I found out today that Sudden Strike 4 has friendly fire (to some degree). I called in an airstrike and one of my tanks was in the path where the bomber dropped its payload and I sorta blew up my own tank. #ProGamer #BrilliantStrategist This was one of the reasons I sucked at Hardcore mode for CoD MP. Every single time I'd get one of those airstrikes or area destruction-like rewards for a kill streak, I'd end up killing more of my own team than the enemy.

The first version of that remakes cover image was AWESOME. Then they changed it to something extremely generic. I also love the original style. It's timeless as well, imo.

Katphood Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Wasnt the release of a crappy remake lately, which made the original look 100 times better? I think you're looking for this(RPGWatch). There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
Lexx Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 That was the remake for the first one. They did the same treatment for the second game as well. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Agiel Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I bought Ghost Recon: Wildlands in a Eurogamer (!) sale and I've been playing that on and off. This game is damn good! I have no idea why so many reviewers gave it middling scores. It looks fantastic, you can play through everything in co-op, the world is gigantic (and sooo well made) and the gameplay reasonably varied and fun. Also, it's so ridiculously polished. Just how menus look and behave, how easy it is to transport yourself and your tram everywhere, how snazzy the weapon modifications look, how the physics affect almost everything (from explosions to fall damage to destructible environments). Everything seems to have an extra layer of thought put into them. I was wandering through the wilderness, far away from anything, when I found a small path. It wasn't even on the map, but it went up to a vertical cliffside and disappeared into the rock. I got curious and followed the path, and it turned out someone had carved a very realistic looking passage through the cliff so the path could spindle its way up to the top of the cliff. I was so impressed! This must be one of the biggest games ever made and still.. someone took the time to create that little non-mapped path and made it look realistic and cool in the middle of nowhere. I loved that. I think much of the criticism was leveled towards the writing. I've long said that Ubisoft missed a golden opportunity given the subject matter to make something on the level of Spec Ops: The Line which people would be talking about for years later. It did come out in a time of Narcos and after another Tom Clancy novel and film based on the novel with similar themes: 2 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

Hurlshort Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I've really caught the Lord of the Rings Online bug. The storytelling in this game has always been a notch above other MMO's for me, and after I got over my dislike of the mounted combat, I'm enjoying my time in Rohan and looking forward to moving onto Gondor soon. My captain just hit level 88 and is an inspiration for all these gloomy Rohim.

Malcador Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Yay for productivity. Sadly finishing ME3 took the entire night. No WPF studying for me!

Zoraptor Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Due to my strong willpower and ability to resist commercial urges I'm not playing ME: Andromeda. I may be playing Inquisition though- and I may quite like it, at least at the moment and with realistic expectations.

And I am trying to play Atelier Rorona in between, but going very slowly. The crazy hot weather might be gone now, so I'll probably end up playing more games again. Wait, very hot weather means you are less likely to play video games? For me it's the opposite, when it's super hot outside (like right now, though we should get cooler air on Thursday) I'm more likely to play video games, since I'd rather stay inside in my air conditioned home than do stuff outside. When the weather is more pleasant I'm much more likely to be outside and not playing games. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Bartimaeus Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 If you don't have air conditioning for whatever reasons, though, it can make playing games too miserable to bother with. Alternatively, if your air conditioning isn't quite good enough to handle the hottest parts of summer... Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
