Every time someone mentions Fallout 76, I instinctively read it first as Interstate '76 and a little blip of hope hits me before my brain auto corrects then I get sad.

Like, it makes sense, the game is basically about Good Trump fighting Dick Cheney in giant robots so a Trump joke actually fits for once.

I would say it's still in pretty bad taste but if ever there was a game for that phrase to be appropriate it'd sure as hell be Metal Wolf Chaos.

I guess it's kind of cringey and somewhat lazy, though not as cringey as XD, but how is it in bad taste? Also, Prey Mooncrash DLC is available now. Blattdorf fucked around with this message at 07:55 on Jun 11, 2018 |

The only thing better than the Metal Wolf Chaos announcement, are the comments over tying a make America great again slogan from a Bill Clinton speech in 1992, to a game where another President makes America great.

It's not like they're going to be able to avoid the comparisons, so they might as well try to get out in front of it.Inco posted:The instant Howard mentioned player-controlled nuclear weapons, I was out.

Still playing Pillars of Eternity's dlc. It's pretty good but the game mechanics keep butting into the narrative they're trying to do? "poo poo, you've got to hurry, they're on their way to murder everyone!" "I'm on my way!" *pulls up the map* *It will take your party 2 days, 12 hours to reach the destination* I know it doesnt actually mean anything mechanically, it just doesnt feel like anyone's in a rush when you put stuff like that.

The Kins posted:Using GOG for non-old games isn't necessarily a good idea, games tend to either miss features or vital patches for some reason or another. I've seen this list posted before, and it really makes me wonder what the reason for this is? Is there a large amount of effort involved in publishing a patch to GoG? Do they charge for it? It just seems like the amount of effort to upload a patch to GoG should be worth it compared to the effort to actually code, test AND upload a patch to Steam, even if the GoG userbase is much smaller. Also, you avoid bad press like this and it's just the decent thing to do. If it's truly too much to do every patch you can at least do major/final releases instead of nothing after the initial release. So, why? I guess at least the missing multiplayer ones might be explained by them using Steam-specific libraries to implement it. Or Steamworks for level editing/sharing. But some games have long since fixed glaring bugs that exist in the only version ever made for GoG. In single player games without any Steam specific features.

I suppose you could get this one through that GOG giveaway (I got the original Unreal Tournament!) but even if luck doesn't favor you, it's $2 in their summer sale and it's definitely at least that fun for a classic shooter. FPSummer 1. Bunker Punks 2. Far Cry 3. E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy 4. Immortal Redneck 5. Rise of the Triad 6. BioShock Remastered 7. Crysis 8. Hard Reset Redux 9. Far Cry 2 10. Sanctum 11. Judge Dredd: Dredd vs Death    It can be easy to forget now but every generation of first-person shooters spawned dozens if not hundreds of titles. Names like Quake and Half-life remain ubiquitous while oddballs like Star Trek: Elite Force and KISS: Psycho Circus are all but lost to the march of history. Among the many licensed FPSes of that particular era was Judge Dredd: Dredd vs Death, a game I wasn’t even aware of until a decade after its release. It can be hard to return to older games without the benefit of familiarity but Dredd is accessible and unique enough to jump into even now, despite its many weaknesses. I wouldn’t call it a lost classic but it’s definitely a lost title that deserves to be rediscovered. Everyone should be familiar with Judge Dredd (hopefully by way of the comics or the excellent 2012 Karl Urban film) but I will suspend my disappointment and assume you are not, you uncultured cur. Order in the wild, dystopian Mega-City One is maintained by the Judges, heavily-armed law enforcement officials with the power to arrest, convict, sentence, and execute criminals on the spot. Among the greatest Judges is Joe Dredd, a man who exists solely for the purpose of dispensing justice. Dredd vs Death details a period where Mega-City One is gripped by a plague of vampires and zombies, eventually leading Dredd to a confrontation with the otherworldly Dark Judges. Translating the jackbooted Dredd to the medium of video games is as simple as giving the player a gun and hundreds of criminals to execute, but Rebellion cleverly took things several steps beyond. Throughout the story campaign you will encounter criminals of all shapes and sizes, some armed and some not. You have a dedicated button for challenging perps to drop their weapons and submit, and if they do you can sentence them to prison (complete with pop-up text of their identity, crime, and sentence). Those that resist can of course be executed, or if you want to get fancy you can disarm them by shooting their weapon out of their hand, which makes them much more likely to submit. Arrests affect your stage score and also keep your justice meter aloft, which can end your game if you let too many suspects skate free or kill too many civilians. It’s a fun little diversion that does a lot to break up the action of larger levels, an important task because the core shooting is not all that great. Dredd has his signature pistol, the Lawgiver, which uses universal ammo in different amounts to fire special bullets like heat-seekers and ricochets. However, enemies have extremely simple AI and are weak enough to the Lawgiver’s standard rapid-fire that there’s little use in switching ammo. You can also appropriate weapons from enemies, but these are standard shotguns and rifles for the most part and you can only carry one extra weapon at a time. Some levels can pit you against foes in close quarters, requiring fancy footwork and quick reflexes, those these situations are mostly exceptions to the rule. The eleven levels that compose the campaign are colorful, varied, and do an excellent job of conveying the scale of Mega-City One. Buildings and plazas can be enormous, garish, and decrepit depending on the district, and routine trips to penitentiaries and shopping malls can lead to chains of objectives through chaotic shootouts. The grand scale isn’t great for level flow though, leaving plenty of long stretches of nothing to traverse. There’s also nothing to really seek out in levels aside from health kits, which are essential to keeping your static health in check if enemies keep chipping away at you. You’ll get three to four hours of justice from the campaign, presented in the thick geometry and rough textures of the time. The game also offers several Arcade scenarios where you gun down targets as fast as possible, and a fine little multiplayer mode complete with bots if you can’t cajole any humans into playing with you. There’s not quite enough depth to Dredd vs Death to call it great, but I’ve had a grand time cuffing perps and blasting vampires. The next time you’re in the mood for some retro shooting, consider becoming the law for a change of pace and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Mr E posted:Is Elder Scrolls Online good if I like Elder Scrolls and MMOs in general? Is the subscription necessary, and if it's a good game which "package" should I get? I like it, although I can't speak much for the actual endgame. Questing basically feels like playing regular old TES except there's more of it - quality is more varied, some much better, some much worse. I don't care much for the combat but TES and MMOs generally don't have fantastic combat anyhow. The solo dungeons are more interesting than the endless copy-pasted bandit lairs of Skyrim, and the group ones are fun. The goon guild is good, and I've also had pretty reasonable experiences grouping with pubbies. The sub definitely isn't necessary to start out. It does become very useful if you want to get into crafting because it gives you an extra crafting storage, otherwise your regular inventory fills up super fast. it also gives you free access to some of the DLC (not the big ones) so if you just wanted to play through the quests once it would be much cheaper to buy it for a month or two than get the DLCs with esobux. It's playable fine without the sub but I'd say it's worth it if you're willing to part with the money.

Figured it's worth pointing out that Red Faction Guerilla is currently on sale and like five bucks. Owners of the original game are supposed to get the upcoming remaster for free so it's a good chance to save.
