Screenshot thread

The Lieutenant has the best death animation. Not that it really shows in a screenshot.

Tried to vapourise the Overseer at the end, caused the game to freeze up.

Anarch Baron done right.

Because I only thought of taking screenshots at the end of the game, in my second run:

Nation of underground vampires interrupts WW1 to build an army of undead to retrieve the ancient mechascorpion to fight the army of demons threatening the earth? This game is a definition of over the top, but I like it

No. No. You forgot the Demons of Hell. Because it's Vampires fighting Demons while WW1 German Scientist tries to Stop Demons by using Undead Hordes while your Protagonist is an American Chosen by the Vampires (or by the Demons). Also Dragons. Demon Dragons. Also Mechas.

It's so metal and dumb it gets awesome. The end levels reach Requiem Chevalier Vampire levels of "PUT IT IN WHO CARES IF IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE", and it's magnificent.

Man, I discovered that KOTOR is more linear than I remembered it.
Tatooine

So you need to find this Star Map in the middle of the desert - the only people who knew this is Sand People.
So off you go - you can either help them and get the info ... or slaughter them. And get the info from the captured Jawa slaves.

Not many options - but at least they have options.
Now we look at the Star Map cave and we have this:

A hunter is telling me to bait Banthas over so the Krayt Dragon gets lured outside into the awaiting minefield for easy kills.
At this point, I just wanted to challenge myself and try to fight it head-on, so in I go.

It wakes as I approach.
And I instantly died.

Cutscene Game Over
So I thought - OK. Maybe the direct approach is denied - how about Stealth? Mission has maximum Stealth skill - let's give it a try - Nope.

Bioware: Just bait those Banthas, let the Dragon get killed by cutscene minefield OK?

How very unsatisfying.

I wonder why the fuck can't we just throw a few detonators at it? The Krayt dragon has no ranged attack. It has to come out to deal with attackers. I know the hunter said 'blaster fire bounces off its hide' but what about lightsaber throw? What about force lightning? There are so many more options to consider. Such a lazy design.

This is practically the same situation in Kashykk - you HAVE to help Jolee or else the forcefield is impassable. Why? We have MAX Security skills. MAX Computer skills. These skills checks are pretty meaningless when you bring T3 along.

And fixing HK47 takes only one skill: Repair. Good luck having invested in that without prior meta-knowledge. Hell, it doesn't matter if T3 has maxed its Repair skill to 20 - you can't use T3 to help you fix HK47. Why not?

I could see the protagonist using Persuasion / Computer skill checks to convince HK to let T3 fix it, but Bioware thinks alternate solutions are unnecessary.

X-com with Final Mod Pack mod.

Underestimated the attack of the Men in Black faction. They used to only have human made pistols and rifles, but this time around they brought plasma weapon tech and laser tanks to the battle. After the smoke dispersed the casualty count came to 15 X-com soldiers dead and half the base demolished.

Halfway. Pathway

It's tactics lite combined with FTL style resource management for exploration.
2-action system for combats, all weapons use ammo from same pool (except energy weapons that don't use ammo at all), 100% hit to change unless target is in cover and quite restrictive skill trees for character builds.
Game has nice presentation and systems (such as they are) work without being bullshit, but I don't see myself playing this in 1 months time.
Renowned Explorers does pretty much same, but better.

edit.
Fixed name of the game.

My Sorceress died 5-10 times before defeating Hell Duriel in Diablo 2, and this was the reward:

It's a fucking outrage is what it is.

My Werewolf Druid had no problems whatsoever, and the fight reminded me of this:

Good question. I'm not sure. I think multi-storey buildings don't exist, in the sense of that you're automatically on the highest level when you enter one. There is no fighting between storeys, and if an enemy unit enters a commieblock you're still technically on the same level. I checked the manual and I didn't find an conclusive answer either, but I think it works like I described.

It is a dimly lit ancient tomb. The cities and jungle environments are very colourful and beautiful.

Edit: Modron - it's Dying Light

I'm playing it as well. Nice game so far.

 

[unfairlight]

Some Deus Ex: Mankind Divided screenshots as well. Most of these aren't so good. Wish I knew how to turn off the UI, because a lot of this game is screenshot bait. Also botched quality because of Imgur compression.

 

[Abu Antar]

If you don't want imgur uploads, try abload.de

 

[unfairlight]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that site. Doesn't appear to compress in any way, as long as the uploads are stable I'll keep using it. Added one extra picture I forgot.

 

[The Red Knight]

Also botched quality because of Imgur compression

Imgur only ruins the images if they're above a certain file size (it used to be 1MB but I think they increased it to 2/3 MB at least at some point because I accidentally fed it a PNG recently and it didn't end up compressed). To get a good quality JPG yourself (not only to push it below hosting's limits but also to make it load faster for others) just disable subsampling in your graphics program's save-as-JPG setitngs (XnView has a batch file converter if you have dozens of images to share and can't be bothered to go through them one-by-one).
