Screenshot thread

[schru]

I don't have any screenshots of Unreal at hand, but here's Deus Ex, which is on the same engine, in the Glide mode with scaled up UI and dithering:

As someone who played these games at release, I can tell at a glance that this isn't how they looked, and the dithering is downright an eyesore.

Also frankly I don't at all care about squeezing all the graphics juices out of games that are 25 years old.

Yes, the dithering is excessive compared to to what it was like on the real hardware, though I like the texture it gives to these kinds of graphics. Hence it's an option. What is important are the MultiTexture problem and UI scaling. The former especially.

And don't misunderstand, I'm quite opposed to adding any ‘improvements’ to old games' graphics. I'm only interested in a reasonably decent approximation of their original presentation.

Goddamn this game is pretty!

nowhere near as pretty as ELEX

Finally got the time to play

Dungeons in this game are really dark. I can barely see shit even with the torchlight spell.

Of course Mummy sprang to life, recounted his life story on me and attacked. Unfortunately for him i am a somewhat experienced murderhobo.
Dropped a pretty a nice amulet that adds +1AC. No idea about any other effects on it because i am not paying the magic shoppe for identification. 625g for a single amulet is a robbery!

Moar Wizards and Warriors

My pixie rogue managed to spring this trap at least twenty times. And every single time he managed to resist the effect of this "minion's curse"

These resistances aren't for show i guess.

Choices and consequences i see.
My backpack was getting full so i decided to quickly run back to town for some unloading.

Not only there is a 500 gold fee to enter the fighter's guild but they also charge me extra 500 for the class promotion. Barbarian education is expensive.

For each of my guys the plan is as follows:
-Kabas just got his barbarian promotion quest. Going to promote him after i finish with the crypt. Barbarian gains an access to locks & traps skill but i am not going to invest in this as i wouldn't trust Kabas and his 2 intelligence with the party safety.
-Alura is training in the use of spears and shields, hope i am not screwing myself over by choosing this weapon. Going to make her a paladin and maybe a valkyrie later. Already found a +1 bra for her

Things are looking good
-Ulfo is a classic elephant priest who trains into a monk. Heard it's a very effective combination once you solve the low Agi/Dex issue. Hope i am not screwing myself over by focusing on both spirit and vine magic instead of focusing on one spell school.
-I will aim to turn Ronvik into a bard. Not many games allow me to choose pixie as a race and he is surprisingly not as fragile as my previous ratman dude thanks to the dodge trait
-Olagas is a pure sun magic specialist. Quick to start blasting at a moments notice, will become a warlock obviously. I will definitely not going to forget to buy him some shoes and pants once we return to town.
-I was thinking about promoting Basil into a ranger at first but i am really not sold on bows in this game. Making him a hybrid vine magic/fighter would have been effective probably but i will instead aim for the samurai promotion just for the fun of it

How easy is to run this on Windows 10? GOG version works well?

I'm running it on Windows 7, and the GOG version works like a charm.

I tried running it many times before the GOG version came out, both on XP and 7, and it never worked properly, there were always some quirks and glitches, usually interface-related.
After buying it on GOG and installing their version, I managed to play this game without issues for the first time.

Overload a.k.a. Descent 4

Good old Descent:

But with an upgrade system:

And audio logs, System Shock style:

Great graphics, solid atmosphere and the gameplay is fortunately untouched:

How to pick up chicks in this game? Well, it's simple:

Rest is easy - destroy the generator:

GTFO in time:

And that's it:

Upgrade stuff and put the robo-rapetrain back on track. Rinse & repeat.

Want FMVs, gay romances or horse armor? Well, GTFO.

Yes, I think Lares gives it to you before the proper Ring of Water armor you get after the initiation.

spekkio I didn't know about this game. Does it play as good as old descent? What about content vs price, does it hold?

Previously in bear sex gate 3! we didn't resist the dark urge... we embrace its profane gifts!

My recommendation is that if you want to play this game go for dark urge origin story cause it's like Original sin 2, If you didn't pick Fane you would miss 90% of the story, same thing here. Clearly, the main character is the durge!

Spoilers!

Now with mindflayer sexo! "OMG TENTACLES HITTING ASS AND LEG OH GOD IT'S HEAVEN!!" it's finally a real thing in mainstream Vydia.

The evil drip

Astarion finally got revenge on his old master.

Damn, bitch just bane broke the wizard's back! made me laugh so hard. Just your average Lawful good paladin!

Wait...

It's Uncle Sarevok! Now he's some sort of judge for Bhaal tribunal among other failed incarnates (some antagonists from bg2).

He told me to kill his granddaughter aka my character sister because she grew too cocky. Also, the bitch lobotomize my guy with a knife straight to the back of my skull, stealing my ascension!

I fight onesan in mortal kombat, to win dad favor.

I'm the last Bhaalspawn, crafted from Bhaals own flesh or something like that. The dude it's literally Bhaal's favored child. You set in motion the events of bg3 but before you could archive ascencion Oreo stabs you in the back of the head giving you amnesia (basically you're darth revan moment).

Evil!

But acktually the brain was behind it all! now it's no longer an elder brain but an etherbrain, with a whole armada!

You fight both at the top of the giant brain and also inside it!

Of course, I won, also killed Sarevok again cause he betrayed me. He wanted me to kill his granddaughter to eventually kill me to ascend but i was stronger (got his helmet!). I enslaved the brain and order the whole armada to kill everyone in the world plus also enslaved my companions!

Edgy ending unlocked. I enjoyed my run.

Yes to all questions. The worst part of Overload is that no one's heard of it.

Seconded. I'm only two missions in, but so far it plays just like Descent, only with modern graphics and these 2 new gameplay elements (logs + upgrades).

 

[HansDampf]

Overload controls better than Descent. Best played with joystick.

That was a nice conversation... but what if I wanted to be more of an asshole?

Why, I simply engage asshole mode.

ASSHOLE MODE ENGAGED

Every game should have an asshole button.

Wish they would just stick to n64 and pump out further good stuff like ogre battle 64 and the legend of the mystical ninja starring goemon.
