As I recall, Volition still has Geomod, but some other company got the rights to Red Faction, so they can't do another Red Faction game.

Which is both a blessing and a curse- Red Faction Armageddon was pretty awful apart from the destruct/reconstruct mechanic. And the hidden weapon

Fear of innovation and change is a very real pitfall when making more entries in a franchise- especially when its been handed off to a totally different team. There's way too much pressure to make a "proper" sequel than making something that will actually stand up to scrutiny, so most good ideas are smothered before they get off the drawing board.

Looking back, the Silent Hill I was most disappointed in post 4 was Shattered Memories- there was a real spark of something that could have been great, but it had too much dragging it down.

Is there anywhere to look up the lore of Planescape or the overall story? It sounds really dang interesting and I tried to read the wikia page a bit but the white font on black background just seared into my eyeballs.

This is literally the best way you could experience it without actually playing it.

I will never understand devs putting anti-savescum stuff into the game. As a savescummer writ large, savescumming is the result of the dev / game doing something wrong to make the act worthwhile in the first place. Remove the offending problem, and you remove the pressure to savescum.

Not always, some people just like to savescum just to ensure they do everything the "right" way, when that might not be the point of the experience. It's like trying to read all the branches of a choose-your-own-adventure book at once.

Edit: Every time I savescummed in X-COM I counted it as a loss, personally.

I think my favorite thing was how the terrorist faction had upgrades to imbue a ton of their weapons with anthrax, which is totally a thing middle-eastern terrorists use, right? Anthrax in this case being a green liquid that could be upgraded to a blue liquid. They had tanks that sprayed huge streams of it and could load it into their scud missiles.

Ah. Now that I factor in "posturing teenage boys upset that their friends can view their Steam profile and know that they played a game about personal relationships and sexuality" a lot of the backlash against the game suddenly makes sense. Thank you.

Bingo. I'm not saying people can't think something's bad but that explains the backlash pretty succinctly.

While we're on the subject, this leads me to a question I've been wanting to ask on SA. Now that ME1 is in the books (a bit annoyed I can't cruise around space after the end game but whatevs) ME2 is next. I played ME1 on my ancient Xbox 360 that loads textures at a "Whenever I Get Around To It" speed, but since buying ME1 I've purchased a nice, high end PC and would much rather play ME2 on Steam. I've heard that your choices from ME1 carry over to ME2, so my question is: Would it be worth it to continue through the series on Xbox 360 to preserve my Renegade Blonde Shep and his choices, or is there some way to trick the PC version of ME2 into thinking I've made my ME1 choices from the Xbox 360 file on startup? Or is the continuity not even worth all this trouble in the first place?

I don't know where to look for such things anymore, but I know for a fact that there's a way to edit all your choices in a ME1 save file and import it int ME2 when you start- and don't worry about how he/she looks- the engine is so different that it lets you start from scratch, facially.

Edit: found it! Just grab whatever save matches your decisions, edit it to your liking in the save editor and bob's your proverbial uncle.

You know the author of gone home is a lesbian game designer from Seattle right? And what's not classic about a more lipsticky lez and a little grungier, tomboy dyke-y girl finding one another? That's a common dynamic in the LGBT circles and not really a picking point for the game.

Don't read too much into it, hes just looking for a veiled excuse to be a dismissive chode.

I've never played Rimworld, but at first glance it looks like a shameless ripoff of Prison Architect and Dwarf Fortress in Space. Which actually sounds pretty good to me.

Is that accurate?

Also their stat growth makes it so (more or less) all weapons are liable for end game use. This pretty much lets you use your personal favourite through the whole game.

That's honestly my favorite improvement over the other souls games- there are no bad weapons.

Except for the stake driver. But even then it looks rad as hell.

Yeah I've had a couple bad matchups with stuttering and sliding around, but the majority of people I've invaded and been invaded by have been silky smooth.

So nice, so smooth.

Anyway, my little thing is in Dark souls 3- when you use a homeward bone in other games, it simply takes you back to the last bonfire you used. Here, it gives you the option of doing that, or taking you back to the shrine bonfire, where you level up and buy poo poo. A really huge time saver.

By the way, anyone else find hte Abyss Watchers to be hard as balls? I'm having no end of trouble, the first form keeps kicking my rear end, parrying doesn't seem to do enough damage to really matter as I'm not good at it, and when he hits his second form I barely have enough estus to keep up, let alone actually hit him.

Really? I didn't have too much trouble, especially when I got them fighting among themselves. This might also be because I had just re-ran through Bloodborne just before release, and that fight is essentially Maria lite.

Been playing House of the Dying Sun today, and I'm just blown away how good everything sounds- especially with headphones. Sound design is often overlooked, especially in indie production, but this one loving nails it- I will never swap out the space shotgun for the sound alone.

I don't think you are using that correctly. Besides that, he looked at if from a normal persons POV and changed his mind which is laudable. I mean I certainly hadn't read the novel when I played through it the first time, but I was aware of it and thought it was a cute nod.

I'm playing Persona 5 and like the previous games it has an All-Out Attack mechanic where knocking down enemies lets you use your entire team to attack them. The big difference is that at the end of this one the character who activated the All-Out Attack will get a special finishing pose at the end of the fight.

They're all pretty amazing but I'm particularly fond of Ryuji's.

Well Emil basically has medusa powers, so he can't open his eyes without killing everyone in the room.

The androids I imagine don't actually need eyes to see- either that or its some hyper advanced visor. Regardless of the in universe reason, it's mostly to try to look cool.

Yeah, DS1 for sure- it's the lowest cost investment if you end up hating the experience, and in some ways it's still the best at what it does of any in the series.

Nuts and Bolts isn't a bad game on its own. The music is pretty great and it's a pretty good looking game and there's a lot to do with the vehicles but the game loves the missions the game throws at you where you can't use your cars can gently caress off.

The best way to break those missions was to pause and totally rework your stock vehicle the moment the mission started- i'm looking at you alien shooting gallery.

For all its faults NeiR:Automata still has a fantastic soundtrack. Between Voice of NO Return and the great Dark Colossus remix there's just so many good tracks in here of all kinds.

I didn't feel it had a lot of faults though? It was my understanding that it's basically a critical darling. The music is completely amazing though I agree.
