By the way, was there ever any objections raised towards Steam Economy Enhancer being a non-skeevy market mod to replace the one that got bought out by a skin reseller? It requires a plugin along the lines of greasemonkey or tampermonkey, but seems fit for purpose.

Jamfrost posted:I don't get it. Is there a meta-narrative with the supernatural stuff with Far Cry. I thought Brotherhood was about crazy fanatics. Or did I misread? Someone heard that the drug trips in FC3 were a fairly interesting twist, and that, since every animal now used the FC3:BD innovation, they needed something new. So they thought, hey, what if we do more of that, but a few different variations and with you know gameplay attached (and also a separate set of drug trips because you can't stray too far from a formula at UBI). Also, it served as a neat excuse to make the player use the grappling hook more, and also set up the backstory of one of the quirky minibosses a bit more. Oh, and as the obligatory Far Cry bad metaphor about the corruption of whatever. Tippis fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Jul 27, 2017 |

Xander77 posted:People who played through Far Cry 4: Do you get anything out of seeking out and completing all the Shangri La sequences? You get something very special that no Far Cry after FC1 provides: a boss fight. I suppose the other Kalinag-inspired fight is also a boss fight of sorts, but that's still the same game so it doesn't count against that.

Xander77 posted:You're forgetting about all those awesome boss fights FC3 had. Like the guy you fight after he stabs you, and the utterly nondescript big bad business boss, and the giant evil demon, and the Australian rapist... I suppose the ink demon might count, but that was pretty much just a light gun game. The rest were just QTEs. This is a a proper '90s-FPS style boss arena. That's got to be worth something, right? Right? Also, I think you get a fuckton of Karma, which is useless since the AI companions you'd use it for are in every way less capable than your average wolf, tiger, badger or elephant.

Xander77 posted:Anyone who actually played through FC:B - how the hell do I stealth outposts with hunters in them? There are always two of them covering each other, they spot me the moment I try to stealth or if I kill anyone (particularly the other hunter), they charm any animal I try to send in, and they fade from the radar and pop up behind me the moment I try to stealth-murder the places where they are not (I swear those fuckers have super hearing or something) Bows or long-range silenced sniping when they're not looking. They will have gaps when they're not directly covering each other, and they'll have to react to the corpse like everyone else rather than spot you from seeing the kill. They're also as susceptible to the rock as everyone else. Funnily enough, citadels are actually easier than regular outposts as far as dealing with hunters, since they always have some sneaky hiding spot that you can get to where you can just take your time and kill them off without them ever having a chance to see you.

Xander77 posted:I generally wouldn't ask for help in this thread, but whatever - a whole bunch of people used to ask for help with hexcells, so let's jump of this bridge. First, where does the nearby glider get you? Second, along the edges of the map, there are quite a few of those spots where you have to start from a nearby POI but still a decent distance away and then grapple-swing your way along the cliff face to gradually get higher and closer. I'd start looking by the lake/waterfall/village thingamajig to the northwest.

and for the love of all that's holy, if you play SWAT 4, get a mod that rebalances what you can carry. In particular, making door wedges easier to carry than a bajillion grenades and mags that you don't actually need. I think there might be ones that make the shotgun be slightly more threatening than a dry sneeze, too.

Dr. Angela Ziegler posted:Oddworld: New n Tasty Addendum from someone who does hold all the nostalgic fuzzle-wuzzles: everything that is unacceptable about this game is something that was altered or added to the 3D remake and something that the original had worked out perfectly. By eschewing the screen-and-grid based setup in favour of a moving 3D camera and a smoothly animated Abe, there is no longer any tightness and rhythm in how you string together different moves to (not entirely) effortlessly jump across ledges, skip over bombs, and up and down various cover to avoid enemies. The original was about fast precise movement and had a control scheme and an environment that played perfectly together to allow that. Similarly, the move to 3D replaced bespoke story-telling art with generic and often misplaced assets; it made the game gaudy bright where it should be dark and oppressive; and it removed some pretty significant parts of the movement-puzzle-solving quite possibly in a failed attempt at counteracting the sloppy controls and imprecise signalling of what you currently can or should do. Animations are arbitrarily sped up or slowed down, seemingly without any thought as to what they're supposed to convey, which further adds to the feeling of slipperiness stuff that in the original had weight and momentum are now either lazily oozing about, interacting with the world in ways that just look wrong to the eye, or they're just uniformly fast, with no lead-in or lead-out, making them look completely artificial. If you want gameplay, play the original. If you want good controls, play the original. If you want good graphics, play the loving original even at PS1 resolution with 2D assets, it looks more believable and coherent and grounded than the exploded Skittles-vomit bucket of the remake.

exquisite tea posted:I wish Alien Isolation had an auto difficulty that went up or down depending on how you were doing because it was hard for me to find the right balance between "this alien is real dumb" and "I took a step and now he's skullfucking my corpse." There is some of that in how the AI director decides the alien's macro behaviour, and if you read up on what the director uses to measure stress you can somewhat manipulate that behaviour. It doesn't make a huge amount of difference the way it does in, say, L4D, but that's more because the microbehaviour is that much more complex than the run-at-player-and-punch the zombies had.

mcbexx posted:Daaaamn, I just grabbed Rise of the Tomb Raider from the Humble monthly and I'm amazed how gorgeous it looks on high settings and how well it plays on 3440x1440 on a GTX970. Not to ruin your plans of delaying an upgrade, but it's worth mentioning that it's a ridiculously well-optimised engine. It's kind of funny how 2015 was a great year in that regard: between RoTR, MGSV and Mad Max, for a while it seemed like gaming companies had realised that making your game fast was an important part of actually making it impressive. We'll see how long it takes (if ever) for that lesson to really take hold.

It's the dumbest bullshit all about how anything you try will fail and while everyone's falling over themselves somebody will inevitably win by doing nothing and I love it. It sounds like it should be absolutely miserable but for some reason I just bust up laughing every time. The one major flaw with the digital edition is that you can't set the number of (human) players to zero. It would be perfect if it weren't for having to actually play it.
