Shadow Hog posted:Very easily, as it turns out, since there's no way I could find to the taxi reprogrammer that didn't alert at least five guards en route. I'd be surprised if this didn't happen to everybody. Other than that, I didn't have much problem with the stealth portions. Stealth still pretty much revolves around killing everyone, and the CMP-150 worked pretty well in taking guards out before they could even shoot.

It's funny how a higher budget managed to make the cutscenes look worse. Everyone I played with just wanted to skip them. They had wonky looking motion capture while SW2013 had some pretty nice art

fishmech posted:Isn't there good software rendering for that now if it's going to be played on a modern system? If you're playing on an old system though, like something 90s/early 2000s, then by all means do it. If there is it's news to me. I got a Sound Blaster Audigy in windows 10 running EAX by using Creative Alchemy. Pretty sure that requires a creative soundcard. Depending on what card you get, getting the official drivers working may or may not be a nightmare. I had to use daniel_k's unofficial drivers to not get BSODs

fishmech posted:There's the Alchemy software Creative makes for certain motherboard manufacturers and their customers that uses standard on board audio to handle EAX stuff. The catch is its very hard to get a legit license for it without the proper mobos even though it runs on most on board audio fine when those mobo checks are patched out. There were also some older releases that ran on any sound card without patching, but would need patches on modern windows. Interesting, I wasn't aware certain mobos supported it. I was just going by what cards they listed in their FAQ I do know you can run EAX in Thief 1, 2 and Unreal through OpenAL without using Alchemy if you install a fan patch. Tafferpatcher for Thief, Oldunreal for Unreal. It sounds pretty great, especially if you set up HRTF with OpenAL Soft

Max Wilco posted:Are there any tutorials or resources on how to make levels or mods for the original Half-Life? Making a mod for HL1 has always been something I've wanted to do, but I don't know if the dev tools for it are still available, or where you can find them. I actually got into making maps for HL1 like 2 weeks ago. Getting started with Hammer was the hardest part cause a lot of tutorials are long gone, you need a fair bit of googling to find anything specific for Goldsrc. You can get the SDK off Steam in the tools section. Apparently it doesn't come with the most up to date version of Hammer though, so you can get the unofficial Hammer 3.5.3, and then you should probably get Zoner's Half-Life Tools for compiling and to get a few extra features. This guide helped me configure Hammer for Steam. The Whole Half-Life has a bunch of tutorials you can look through, including an archive of VERC, the Valve Editing Resource Center, which might help for modding.

One of the things I like about SWII is it has so many unique weapons, I think it was around 70? No random stats but it still feels like borderlands with how many you pick up, which is good cause I really didn't like how they handled the upgrade gems. After a certain point there's just too many to keep up with so you throw everything under a certain level/rarity in the trash. You end up sorting through hundreds in just a few hours of gameplay. Other than that, I really enjoyed playing through it It also has the best minigun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnthwuG5Dd8&t=27s HolyKrap fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Feb 4, 2018 |

Johnny Joestar posted:shadow warrior 2 genuinely was an improvement all around on the actual gameplay front (barring the stuff about upgrade gems people have noted which was at best a mediocre way of handling it) but don't go into it expecting a story that's as decent as the one in shadow warrior 1, because they somehow went out of their way to poo poo out an awful mess and crap all over what happened in the first game as well in the process I forgot about that, everyone I played with just wanted to skip the story halfway through. The bigger budget mocapped in-game cutscenes just looked awkward. ended up looking much worse than SW2013

Quicksave is Garret's best tool, and it's probably the easiest to reach out of all hotkeys, alt + S I played through Thief 1 & 2 on the hardest difficulty because I like how they handled it. In Deus Ex you take more damage, in Thief you have to steal more, do more objectives and you can't kill anyone. HolyKrap fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Feb 21, 2018 |

Was there ever any controversy over Deus Ex and IW letting you kill children? I always kinda thought it was an oversight in Deus Ex but I played through IW recently and you can actually toss a grenade into a classroom in the Tarsus Academy, you even get some special dialogue for it. Now that there's games like Fallout 3 and Skyrim where they're in-game but invincible, I'm wondering what changed, like if age ratings censor that kinda thing. I imagine the Deus Ex devs wanted you to feel terrible for your own actions, and while it's definitely effective, I somehow doubt they'd do that a third timeMax Wilco posted:Is it worth it to grab Ion Maiden while it's in Early Access, or does anyone think it would be better to just wait for it to come out in full? It sounds pretty good, and I absolutely love Build engine games, but I'm skeptical about Early Access stuff. The full game's going to be released all at once so it's not your typical early access game. The preview's apparently it's own thing so it's not actually part of the full game. I'd say it's worth getting if a well-made but short preview of a full game interests you.
