Wow, so that EA suit wasn't lying when he promised EA was going to keep improving Battlefield 3. Looks like they took out all the popamole and blinding visual effects.

 

[RK47]

Hate that game so much when I was a kid. Many unfair designs. Will try to beat it 15 years later.

Looks like an old KOEI game - but which one ?

It's Genghis Khan II and yeah, fuck the random merchant mechanics.
Your whole economy is dependent on random merchants traveling around the world to sell off your produce.

Aliens versus Predator (1999)

Oh god I love AVP 1999 soooo much. The atmosphere was top-notch which AVP2 didn't have half of it. Facehuggers were fucking scary because they are insta-killing me and the game didn't allow me to save midgame (or so it seemed).

But I didn't know the graphics look that dated...

eh, it's no Quake 3 Arena or Unreal but it still looks good enough to me. AvP's gameplay remains very tense so you will probably forget about the dated visuals after a few minutes of play. Co-op is still great with some friends and the Classic 2000 games I host on Steam even attract random players most of the time.

There is also some "HD" mod but I think it's pretty terrible.

It's a very good one, definitely recommended.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

I will always remember that sewers part of level, horrible creatures in the water scaring me shitless as a kid. And their dying screams.

Don't like this alien cruiser. Not comfortable at all.

Time to hunt some VC

It's an RPG

Spoiler

After the briefing we get to select our loadout, we don't have room for that prisoner handling kit...

(An M16A2 in the 60's, the devs made a small mistake here.)

Our heroes embark on their epic quest:

You can change the insertion point if you so desire

It doesn't take long before we see a little village in the distance

I order the helicopters to look for Charlie

And request a little pre-emptive strike to tip the odds in our favor

Our boys advance towards the small village

and bring swift justice to the remaining VC

Mission accomplished but we find one last sneaky VC hiding behind a hut

Time to search the scene

we discover some weapons and documents

Now we COULD hike all the way back to the boat...
but not putting our expensive helicopters to good use would be a tragic waste :patriot:

The Seawolf takes our gallant warriors back to base

where they receive promotions and get to enjoy some well deserved R&R

Warcaft 3 - Frozen Throne

Plus some RPG-lite bonus campaign I did not care about. Not bad for a DLC expansion.

Anyway, completing W3 - FT concludes my adventure with Blizzard Ent. Tried SC3_1 (shit) and have 0 interest in Diablow 3 or anything they plan to excrete in the future.
Goodnight, sweet prince.

 

[yellowcake]

What is it? I like the graphics.

Soulbringer. It's a good cRPG, albeit controls are annoying. Got it on Steam recently.

It's Soulblighter. I tried it but...game maybe is cool but font is atrocious, almost unreadable.

That rpg-lite campaign was a sign of things to come, you played as a panda and you actually had to download a dlc to continue.
Warcraft 3 is kinda "meh" and poorly written, but I still have fond memories of trying to beat certain scenarios. Might "buy" it to remember those gud times.

Thief screenshots are very welcome. VERY WELCOME.

Witcher 2

So, I started this one for the first time, and let's say I'm highly unimpressed after the tutorial (I'm playing the 2.1 version).

First, the performance is total ass, with constant FPS drops, mostly independent from graphical options. The only thing that improves performance significantly is reducing resolution from my native 1680x1050. Too bad it makes fonts unreadable.

Second, the GUI is absolute fucking dogshit. Whoever came up with that was clueless fucking moron. Either go with PC-centric mouse-dependant one, or with consolefaggish gaypad / keyboard one. Here we have the worst of two words. Plus the sluggish, accelerated mouse...

Third, the skill grid?

Really? This:

Instead of something that at least utilizes the entire screen:

Fourth, the popamole, which can't be disabled like in Dishonored:

Still, I'm sure I will fall in love with this modern masterpiece soon...

 

[Darth Roxor]

Good job playing shit games.

 

[spekkio]

What are you talking about, I've read at the 'Dex that it's a modern classic.
