Is WaW a good game? Seems like it'd be really generic.

It's fun for the person playing it, but my roommate plays it all the time and if I have to hear the terrible Russian voice actor scream 'THEY HAVE RELEASED THE DOGS!!' one more time I'm gonna go insane. See also: 'OUR RECON PLANE WILL FIND THEM.. WHERE EVER THEY HIDE!!' and pretty much all of the variation-less and painful to listen to dialog.  It wouldn't be so bad if people weren't getting dogs and planes and other stuff CONSTANTLY, but good god you would think they'd have recorded a few different variations of those dialogs to mix things up a bit since you hear them all the time.

Empire: Total War Good: - Even more streamlined Total War interface keeps you fighting wars and expanding your empire without bogging you down with repetitive bullshit tasks. Not having to recruit and manage a small loving army of random as hell "agents" (priests, diplomats, assassins, loving daughters, etc) is a welcome change. Now they just spawn once in a while with the right buildings built and you can automate most of them to just do their thing and carry out your despotic whims. - Battles are loving HUGE. - Battles are loving GORGEOUS. - Battles have loving GUNS. The first time I watched about 2,000 of my Prussian line infantry (yes, I play Prussia, gently caress off) crackle off a volley of musketry, take the return like men, and rattle off another to break the back of those damned, dirty Danes. . . well, let's just say that I'm reevaluating my stance on my father's fudd-tastic blackpowder collection. - You can now research technology, and this gives units more and different abilities. Remember how in all the other games you had to replace your whole loving army six times over as new and better poo poo became available? Now your soldiers just get better at their jobs and get new formations, tactics, abilities, etc. When your soldiers learn fire by volley (i.e. the front row fires, then kneels while hte middle row fires, they kneel while the back row fires, etc) they DOMINATE the guys who are still doing it the old way, and all without rebuilding your army from scratch. (for the curious, this really was a major tactical development in the early 18th century - it really did take Europeans about a century to figure that one out). Those line infantry you've fought over half of central Europe with and who are veteran bad asses? No need to replace them, you can actually have a veteran army in the later game. -NAVAL BATTLES. Oh holy poo poo it is so much fun to cross some silly fucker's T with your battle line of 74 gun frigates. Also, the British Navy is just as scary as you imagined. gently caress with them at your own risk. -Trade makes so much more sense now. -Colonies - Go conquer N. America or India, all the cool kids are doing it. -Revolutions - they are the poo poo and are lots of fun. I just had one and ditched all my old white and black Prussian flags for the fancy red/gold/black of the rhineland revolutionaries of 1848 (aka the current flag of the Federal Republic) Bad: - Your computer better be good. That said, I run it acceptably decent looking and without stuttering or anything on a 3 year old MacBook Pro with 2 gigs of ram under XP Pro. - MOTHERFUCKING 15 GIG INSTALL?!? Are you kidding me? - Steam!!! - You WILL find yourself googling around at 3 am to find out how much a repro Brown Bess would cost. - Playing this game is not conducive to finishing another draft of your MA. If you have any interest in this sort of thing, go buy it. Now I need to go, loving Sweden just declared war on me for having a democratic revolution and I need to send the Kriegsmarine from its anchorage in Danzig to sweep the Baltic and teach them a lesson in humility. And by "teach them a lesson in humility" I mean land my best army in Oslo and burn the fucker to the ground.

If anyone hasn't noticed, Steam has been selling half-price Ubisoft games this week. Today they have Far Cry 2 for $14.99. It's only for the day, though.

Otto Skorzeny posted:I don't get this dislike for Steam at all It's a resource hog (well, compared to NO client - it's not as bad as it could be) and I don't see the reason why I have to have a client open to play a game offline. I just don't like extra poo poo running in the background while I'm playing a game, especially poo poo that shouldn't be there in the first place. I bought it on DVD. I can wrap my mind around needing to dial home to authenticate a CD key (that's pretty standard these days) but having to have the damned thing open all the time while playing it? gently caress that.

Cyrano4747 posted:Empire: Total War For the most part I agree but there are some annoyances. It would be nice if there was a single list of all my buildings that need upgrades. At the moment I have to scroll all over the map and look for the hammer icons. That whole AI perpetually asking you to trade territories is fairly lame as well, you'd think they'd get the idea after 10 rejections. Has anyone managed to force a city to surrender through overwhelming force? It's never worked for me regardless of the ratio of friendly:enemy troops. Pathfinding while defending from a siege kind of blows too, no I don't want you guys to climb down the ladders to chase the enemy. All in all it's a great game but I wish they'd tune a few things.

The fact that insurgency uses hitscan weapons means it can gently caress off and die in a ditch full of penises with VD and poo poo. This means that if your aiming at a guy 300m out running, all you need to do is put the crosshair or irons dead on him and assuming the magic cone of fire dispersion doesn't go around him, you WILL hit him.

Wasn't the first two Delta Force games the only ones to ever have realistic bullet phsyics or something?

Sgt. Shaved Balls posted:Wasn't the first two Delta Force games the only ones to ever have realistic bullet phsyics or something? No, Operation Flashpoint and its sequel Armed Assault have awesome ballistics, down to the SVDs scope and rangefinder all working 100%, I also remember the RPG-7V addon for OFP had a fully functioning optic as well. In OFP/ArmA if you code in the velocity, weight, wind-resistance of your projectile all as they are in real life, it WILL perform 1:1 as the real thing does. Lots of games have it, Insurgency would be good if they had taken the time to not make weapons hitscan. Infiltration on the loving Unreal Tournament 99 engine had real ballistics for fucks sakes.

I'd care about the external ballistics of weapons in Insurgency if the fog allowed engagement ranges of >150 meters

Its still bullshit to not have to lead a target at distance. It also means that the guns have cone of fire accuracy instead of some actual form of ballistics.
