You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

Has anyone in here played Age of Rivals?

Civilization as a well-reviewed CCG seems promising, but hmmm....

The Dark Souls comparison gets used because it's easy, not necessarily because it's wholly accurate.

I ended up falling off MH:W as a huge Dark Souls fan not because of the player end of the combat but because I think a lot of the higher grade monster designs are extremely unfun to fight.

And monster hunter is all about the grind in the endgame. You fight some monsters, get the parts you need to make a new hat/weapon and continue on your way to the next upgrade you want.

What’s the best way to play Half Life 1? I own both Half-Life and Half-Life Source. Should I use mods? I’ve never played it actually.

I bought Primal but after doing the intro, before the 2 hour mark was up, I was already so goddamn bored I turned it off and refunded it. I don't think I can really do Ubisoft map-marker-a-thons anymore.

AC games are still pretty good after being a bit stale! I'd recommend Odyssey with best character Kassandra

Black Mesa. Although in the original release they had cut a large part of one of the levels (I don't mean Xen) but then someone made a mod to put that level back in and then I think the team patched the mod in the vanilla release? That'd be the only mod you'd need for Black Mesa if I'm wrong about the last part.

As for the original I don't actually know. Half-Life Source? It probably doesn't really matter much. No mods necessary as far as I know.

Third choice is Sven-Coop. Game is too dated to be fun as it is.

I like MHW but am not crazy about Dark Souls, I also wasn't crazy about the other couple of times I tried monhun games in the past. MHW feels like it's right in the sweet spot of teaching you how to appreciate the game

You know, I probably misspoke since I did like Odyssey (though I found I liked Alexios more than Kassandra, fite me), I guess it's just Far Cry I can't handle anymore. I played FC3 to 100% completion back in the day but I can barely look at the new ones without feeling waves of pure tedium.

Not on Steam, but why not get one of the last two Forza Horizons? They've also got big open worlds to drive around in and if you actually want to do races and stuff I hear they're quite good!

Oh I just bought Forza Horizon 4 and totally love it. It's like, the second best Forza game ever made, just barely losing the #1 spot to Forza Motorsport 4.

I just thought I'd ask about the Crew 2 because at first glance it doesn't look as offensively barren and dull as it does by the 2nd or 3rd youtube video.

It's less common in English speaking countries which rip other languages without context, but it's pretty common elsewhere for example Kyoto literally means Capital City.

Also billion places called New Town/Neapoli/some other variation.

Even that single additional word is enough to make it interesting to me; New Town at least lets me know that the town is "new"! Two words is really all you need to make a good name. If you use only one word for a name it better be a good-rear end word, like "Doom".

Mech sims are a pretty dead genre these days sadly.

Vox Machinae is the only other one that I know and it's mp only and will likely be DOA whenever it's out of early access.

That and space shooters. All the genres I like turn to ash in my hands :smith:

Nothing else quite scratches that specific itch I have of "first person shooter but with deliberation and extremely high TTK (edit: and relatively low reflex requirements :v:)" like the gameplay of MWO does, it's just... everything else about MWO that's execrable

I would do filthy things to get something like MW3 or 4 but Remastered.

Preferably 3.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm76b8tzzWI :allears:

Oh hey, duh, there's Titanfall 2(dirt cheap on Origin right now) but honestly, it didn't really make me feel like I was in a giant mech and it is primarily mp but it has a kickass, if very brief, singleplayer campaign. And there's also Brigador which definitely makes you feel like you're a big ole stompy robot even though it's isometric.

I assume since that intro calls it a Thor and not a Summoner (:barf:) that there would be some kind of Harmony Gold involved legal garbage if you tried to remaster MW1-4.

Because we can't have anything nice.

Harmony Gold did get dismissed-with-prejudice on one major BT related suit a few months ago; but as far as I know the whole thing is still hopelessly encumbered by legal asshattery, yeah :rip:

What a childish tactic!
Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!


Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but they call it a Thor because that is what the Innersphere called that mech. When the clans invaded the IS didn't know what the Clans called their own mechs, so they got "Reporting names". Kinda like how Russian military hardware was given names by Western forces.

It has nothing to do with HG.
