Spec Ops: Apocalypse Now The Line.

It's surprisingly good. It's a typical cover shooter, when it comes to game mechanics. But the story is great. So far i'm in chapter six (out of something around 14 total), and i have no idea what the fuck is going on. I'm not really sure if i'm killing the good or the bad guys. It draws from Apocalypse Now heavily, so the atmosphere is really raw and gritty. And as you can see, it's also pretty gory. IMO it's worth a playthrough, because i can't think of another game that makes me feel so uneasy about killing people and generally experiencing war. Seriously. There are also some tough moral choices to make. Will you save a guy who risked his life to help you earlier, or will you save a group of innocent civs who are being indiscriminately slaughtered instead? You can't make a safe choice, and in the end, you won't be a hero. This game is really messed up.

BTW the demo sucks. This game is really all about experiencing the story and watching how the characters gradually change from typical 'Kwan "hardened killing machines" to traumatised, shellshocked wrecks. It's done well, but you can't show that in those 2 short levels they included in the demo.

Is that Alice something? What's the objective?

 

[ManjuShri]

Yes, Alice: Madness Returns. She returns to Wonderland (her fantasy world to escape from the pain of her dead family who were burned alive, she alone survived) only to find that it's being corrupted and destroyed by an infernal train when she's drawn back into Wonderland. Since that world is her projection of herself, her memories and loose grip on sanity will be annihilated too.

That's pretty jew of them. It's 39.99EUR on Origin. Possibly be cheaper to buy it retail now?

Ranger : Woody (new PC I created in Lonelywood, I was curious to see how high and fast a level 1 character would rise on HoW XP only)

Vazdru, how did that worked? What level did he reach? I'm thinking about adding a new char to the party in the expansion too. Not that I really need it, my four chars can hold their own in melee if they get swarmed, but more firepower and carrying capacity wouldn't hurt, especially when the rest of the party is already at a decent level, they wouldn't improve so much anymore as to make a big difference.

Probably. The Steam price is outrageous.

He reached level 14. It did make the fighting easier so I decided to make him a sling/melee character because a second archer made things too easy (plus, there were barely enough magic arrows to finish the game with my 5 attacks/round fighter/thief)

FFS the only way that DRM could be worse is if they sent someone to you to watch you over your shoulder as you play.

[ManjuShri]

No, it had little effect on performance so I had it on (except for the first two screens in the ice land).

 

[MetalCraze]

Are you running if with PhysX disabled?

It's a miracle EA (of all people) gave this project the green light.

Yes because EA would totally not give a green light to a yet another shooter.

 

[Horus]

Does it look this good on xbox or ps3?
Or is it just glorious pc technology thingie?

Flying and crashing Fokkers in Rise of Flight.

damn... that's beautiful... i wish my rustbucket pc could manage that level of detail in RoF without it turning to a slideshow

The tech is actually pretty crappy, low-poly models and low-res textures. Yeah it probably looks the same on consoles. Just hints how important good art direction is, to overcome platform limitations.

 

[Lonely Vazdru]

Time for a counter-attack.

These motherfuckers are tough.

Exploring a crashed UFO.

Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely add another char now. It's a shame to let all that juicy loot go to waste. Btw, did the ring of the reckless action had anything to do with those 5 attacks/round?

 

[Lonely Vazdru]

No, it was a bow :

Long Bow +4: Hammer (THAC0 +5, damage +4, +1 AC, 4 attacks per round)
(Minimum Dexterity of 17 required, Minimum Strength of 12 required)

You actually get 5 attacks per round when using it since it's always +1 attack/round with bows.

OK, gonna give it a try.

Fuck, this game is bad. The retarded gameplay completely prevents me from enjoying the story. Just unplayable popamole mess that consists of everything which is wrong about popamoles. Good music though.

Well I obviously knew which leader I was going to pick for my first game of Warlock.
