Does C-SPAM have a steam group? It was fun seeing what everyone was playing back when LF had a steam group. I bet a few of you guys like murdering police endlessly in payday2

E: VV Yeah they released some "ultimate edition upgrade" or something like that for all the insane amount of DLC that I spent a few bucks on awhile ago. I bought it and let it sit in my library until thanksgiving boredom made me lust for cop blood. All I know is last night I was murdering the poo poo out of the police next to Scarface, who was a fellow heist man and it was fun.

i really liked payday2 but all the people i played with got bored of the grind and the hundred different DLCs you need for all the guns and levels so i haven't touched it in years. no idea what the state of the game is now but shooting cops is always a good time

e: oh woah all the DLC is in the base game now I should pick it back up

the best part about gamebryo is upgrading a graphics card while playing one, loading a save walking around mostly normally. Then opening a door and unleashing the forces of hell as you are quickly pelted to death by cheese wheels and apples

Fallout 76 isn't even really an MMO. The server population is capped at 24, and they're almost never full anyway. PVP isn't even a real thing because of the anti-griefing system. What happens if you want to pvp is you shoot somebody and they get a dueling invite, but when you hit them it takes off a fraction of damage. But if they accept your invite then their hit does full damage. So you can wait for someone to accidentally shoot you, roid out on drugs, and then one shot them. So it takes out all the thrill of life or death any time pvp in a game like Rust, while still making it so everything can be unfairly exploited by high level players.

So basically the whole cash grab MMO conversion concept that's not even a remotely competent MMO?

With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.

as long is it tells you you hosed up(so you don't hit a sierra moment of "whoops you forgot the rear end crystal for this rear end-shaped keyhole 3 hours later) then yeah this is always the better approach

I too am a bargain gamer, I just played a campaign for Shogun 2 total war for the first time. I have Fallout New Vegas and have yet to play it. My "new" games are Dishonored 2 and DX: mankind divided

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.
