Co-op is fantastic right up until one of you gets a Nemesis with ricochet rounds.

Then it becomes glorious.

Seriously though, SYNTHETIK is fantastic and more people should play it.

(Just don't try and play it like a twin stick, moving wrecks your accuracy, you gotta learn to stand still to line up your shots).

so trying to play SYNTHETIK immediately after all my Enter the Gungeon bingeing will end very badly for me, huh :v:

Movement is important in a different way. You need to rush out, get a bead, make headshots, and then dive back in to cover. You don't want to juke and shoot. If you do that your reticule will be 3 inches in circumference. You also have to reload your guns manually (use the spacebar), can waste ammo dropping a non-empty clip, and can get gun jams.

The game rocks. Just play it. You'll love it.

You're gonna be missing a lot of shots and eating a lof of poo poo if you do :v:

Or you can play Commando, grab a shotgun, dash into people, shoot, knife and dash out.

They're not kidding. This is my sawed-off shotgun's reticle while moving:



/edit: Just checked; it's 20cm or 7.87 inches in diameter :v:

Speaking of Far Cry: I beat New Dawn and liked it well enough, but was really disappointed by the need to re-do outposts and expeditions to grind supplies. I guess it's related to the map being tiny - just give me vast swathes of land I can gradually paint with my faction's color, goddamnit.

My favorite thing about New Dawn was when I realized that the boar companion could solo every outpost and get me an undetected bonus every time.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

It even adjusts properly for foreign currencies. I grabbed it for six Euros and change. You're not getting that game cheaper anytime soon.

I did this last week and it is so hilariously worth $10. It's insanely good. If anyone's on the fence about its early-access-ness, it's absolutely a full game and it's incredible.

I'd totally dismissed Outriders because it's another looter-shooter and, despite what my hundreds of hours of Warframe would tell you, those aren't really my jam, but scanning around the latest video did remind me that it is being done by People Can Fly. Namely, the ludicrous gibs.

Ever since I've learned this, I've wondered how long people have known about it. Like was it tucked away in a help file we didn't read? Or was it just some command that wasn't documented, so nobody thought to do it until one day someone tapped the 'F' key by accident and found you could go faster?

What's funny is that I still have the Microsoft Entertainment Pack CDs that had SkiFree on them, along with other games like Chip's Challenge, Rodent's Revenge, and Jezzball.

I honestly can't remember how I found out so I can't answer that, but I knew it back when the game first came out. Was it Win 3.1 or something later?

Win 3.1 and DOS, since those are basically the same thing anyway.
