Battlefleet gothic is also good but the campaign mechanics suffer a bit from "haha here are teleport ing enemy invasions to work around the campaign AI being incapable of mounting a successful assault"

drat titan fall 2 is good and looks very nice, genuinely didn't realise it came out in 2016, though I guess thats partly because I have a 1070ti which was good spec for then so can run on insane settings

seeing all the frozen dudes making :pwn: faces flying through the air when the big maguffin thing explodes was pretty lol though

both path of exile and grim dawn are pretty good evolved clones of d2 (i prefer gd, but its hard to beat the price of poe)

i really like path of exile and did a couple of the seasons last year (I think... Delve, bestiary and some atlas thing) but it got so difficult to keep track of all the mechanics that I burned out.

this is a positive point. i played for a couple of hours before I got the first stupid modern day sci-fi apocolypse horse poo poo

the best part of this series has always been letting you run around a AAA simulation of interesting historical periods, and the worst part has been assuming that you're too much of a moron to find history interesting so here's some dumb bullshit about aliens or conspiracies or something

counterpoint: this is what lead to the second game having you kill a pope who could shoot lasers

Completed disco elysium again and one option in the final debrief was to respond with "I'm an OK cop but also A MASSIVE COMMUNIST!"

it's weird how little of it I remember despite the overall end being the same. I'll confess I save scummed the tribunal a bit because I was annoyed that high physical instrument/half light gave me zero options for dealing with it and it was better to just take a load of speed and roll the dice on shooting the merc leader in the face

I will never not laugh at things like "hey Kim, are you not going to ask where I got these armoured boots from? they're cool aren't they? "

I'm at the last mission in cyberpunk but am doing a load of side stuff and there is some mad poo poo hidden behind some of the generic looking map quests. Like the guy with the grenade for a face, I have no idea what was going on there.

Also i haven't upgraded a tech rifle I got in like mission 3 and it still virtually 1 shots things through walls.

The driving is terrible though and I feel like the actual cyberware is just kind of dull because you dont/can't upgrade it much (unless you have loads of body) and have to go round every ripper in the city to actually see what's in stock.

Agile Vector posted:

i was curious and looked it up and that guy is apparently from a 90s brazilian cyberpunk fan site and a recent podcast series they run, so they pull bits like that from all over for flavor

not that it's terribly niche, but i like that some cigarettes are yeheyuans from gibsons sprawl stories, especially since theres no ads for them so its only something you'll find on a table or discarded as you're walking

The glasses in bars etc. Are all the blade runner glasses I think. Or very similar without infringing.

which might mean the drinking animation is wrong actually because I have a pair and you can't drink out of the long edge because it's flat and you'll just spill it, you have to hold the glass at an angle and drink from the corner

I really need to play the Alan wake add on for control as I never did. I should just replay it tbh because the visuals and atmosphere were so good.

I thought cyberpunk was/is ok and it does look pretty amazing but yeah it's pretty clear that they ran out of time because the missions are completely flat outside the main ones and there are some pretty half baked systems in it that it seems they didn't really finish

Like, armour seems to do nothing? Crafting is simultaneously gated and not very useful and all the cyber ware is just variations on "add 5 points compared to previous".

but I actually thought keanu was good in it and somehow perfect for the role, I means he's pulling off the leather trousers and tank top look

also when you use his gun the reload animation is cool

I've never played 1 but I picked up the gloves of teleportation early on and it owns being able to teleport the squishiest target right in front of you.

I've definitely played both and I remember literally nothing about them except that the voice acting in 1 was dreadful and teleporting/telekinesis was a brilliant mechanic that you could abuse constantly

I played it on hard mode and tbh it just means you die faster because you can still one shot pretty much every enemy by getting a tech rifle and the eyes that highlight enemies and charge charge head shotting them through cover.

I also finally got round to finishing the last mission and my thoughts are the same. The campaign is v. Good but way too short and the side missions are very 2 dimensional except for a few.

Like the kerry eurodyne story was pretty good, I enjoyed that one.

Also lol that as one of the endings you can just kill urself and you get a credit sequence of every other character calling you up to call you a selfish idiot.
