What's new

Video Game Thread

Been streaming on twitch lately. Mostly Binding of Isaac. If anyone watches twitch and is looking for a pretty mediocre channel to follow, you know where to look.

Just might be my favorite franchise (gta and uncharted are right there too). All of the games are great with great storylines as well.
God of war 3 the goat.

This one looks way different though and I’m worried they ruined it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
That meta critic score gives me hope though.

So they've totally revamped it, it actually takes a lot of time to get used to, but once you do it's great. It kind of reminds me of the new Doom where you have to keep moving as the enemies can take you out fast if you aren't careful, you will die a lot early on. But that there is a challenge makes it fun. Rather than just smacking your enemies around in previous games there is a learning curve to this one. I like there is there is so many different ways you can attack each scenario, it previous games it felt like every fight was the same, this time around you can find different strategies to attack the enemies and there is a good variety of enemies. Also the kid that goes along with you helps, like he doesn't feel like some useless side character you will use him quite a bit.
 
Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Great, great idea. Very poor execution. They went for that witcher feel but the atmosphere is bland. Dialogues are terrible(Henry says "I see" every ****ing time). Quests are bland and everything is so ****ing buggy. Optimization is not great either. Wait for patches before buying and make sure most bugs are dealt with. This game could have been one of the greatest. Roleplay aspect of it is awesome but everything else just makes it unable to enjoy.

Well, this is great execution. Every decision I made in this game, I had to pause and give it a thought. I am not sure I will be able to beat this one on hard but even trying new stuff knowing you are going to fail anyway is pretty cool.

I think de-bugging is why this is taking so long to come out, been waiting for this game for ages.

Yeah, me too. They aren't in E3 to focus on working on the game. Just hope it's as good as Warband was.

One of the things with Kingdom Come was that they ran out of money so they had to rush the game. It could still get better with patches. But damn those dialogues need an overhaul.
 

CP 2077 looks so good. I loved the Witcher 3, so I have high hopes.

Between this game and RDR2, I'll be happy with the wait for great games for this year.

I've been playing Fallout 4 a lot on PC and I'm a level 25. I was a level 30 on XBox when it first came out, but my roommate's kid saved a game over my file and I never finished it. I'm glad I started it over, I plan on putting hundreds of hours into it. Fallout 76 looks promising too. I think Fallout Miami is FO4's last DLC. That looks great too.

I'm on a business trip right now and may get Strange Brigade when I get home. Bio Mutant looks ok too.
 
Yeah, I bought it. It's okay... I got bored of it quicker than I thought I might... probably because the core shooting mechanic just really isn't all that strong when you get right down to it.

But if you want to play a REALLY good game:

That's a download link for X-Com: UFO Defense. It's a really old PC game, and also saw release on the PS1 (launch title, I think). Anyway, the whole download is only 8.5 megs, and 20 megs when you install it. But old as it is, it's one of the best games I've ever played, period.

But don't take my word for it. IGN ranked it as the #1 PC game of all time:

AP used to make the best video game posts imo.
 
I figured out with Splatoon the original is where its at. The Wii u gamepad makes the difference, the mini games between matches are more than a novelty and having a map in your hand during gameplay can't be replicated on any other system. Still 24/7 online multi player being supported thought it's mostly japanese folks. Plus it has gear abilities they removed in Splatoon 2. Nobody makes games like Nintendo. Hate on them all you want but games that can bring people together young & old, experienced & novices, quick simple yet somehow complex enough to engulf hardcore gamers? Example: Mario Kart

Also enjoying both Street Fighters they brought to the Switch. I would been a legend in my neighborhood if I had access to all these arcade versions of Street Fighter when I was kid.
