Is a 2k bundle really a indie bundle?

Otherwise known as "we need to get people installing battleborn so they may play it bundle"

$1

The Darkness II
Spec Ops: The Line
Duke Nukem Forever

BTA (7.95 currently, was $6.88 a few hours ago)
Civ V
NBA 2K16
Mafia II: Deluxe Digital
Battleborn Starter Skins pack (lol)
More shit

$15 tier
Battleborn (lol)
Battleborn currency shit (more lol)
Borderlands the Pre-Sequal


Pondering chucking in for the dollar tier.

 

[Metro]

$1 tier games are all terrible. Darkness 2 is about four hours long. Derpy popamole shooter with 2derp4u comic book narrative. It looks pretty, though. Spec Ops is about five or six hours long with 2derp4u gritty grimdark apocalypse now ripoff narrative. Moles are popped, too. DNF is okay as far as shooting mechanics but you can only carry two guns at a time. Yep, TWO. Toilet humor is pretty awful, too. It's try-hard sexist not in the way old Duke was but in bitter rejected nerd I hate women way.

 

[Atomkilla]

Dunno, Spec Ops was a solid game. Short, yeah, but of all the modern shooters it's the one with the best story - mostly because it tries to deconstruct the typical cliche approach of CoD and similar games.
It's weak in the gameplay department, as it's a 6-hour popamole, and it's MP is non-existent (it was originally supposed to be a SP-only game, but publishers forced developers to add MP or something).
Worthy of not is that it is one of the best looking Unreal 3 games (if not the best).

I'd go for it for a dollar. Dunno about the rest.

 

[Metro]

Spec Ops is nowhere close to being a solid game. And lol @ derp4u deconstruction. But I guess it's too much to assume the average gamer attended a year of college and read Joseph Conrad.

[Snorkack]

quite some classics there. Now, is there any reason why I might want to play the steam version instead of emus?

 

[Siveon]

Steam Workshop and that faux-VR room thing. Other than that, probably not.

Yeah, offer some actual explanation if you wanna comment at all. You basically wrote nothing there.

 

[pippin]

The problem with Spec Ops is that pretended to be a parody but at the end it was more of the same. The supposedly strong moral dilemma is difficult to grasp since gameplay tells a different story. Same with how in Bioshock Infinite Elizabeth is shocked that you killed one person while you spent hours gunning down faceless mooks. If a game wants to offer an instance for deeper thoughts then the gameplay must allow it, or you'll end up feeling confused or alienated.

The white phosphorous scene is said to be extremely shocking but it's actually quite tame, almost staged like a Hollywood production. I mean, I've seen worse shit on the news, actually. And one timeI saw the half burned and mutilated corpse of a guy (apparently a spy) hanging from a lamppost in open view of everyone.

That's why Darkness 2 is better. It's a fun comic book style arcade shooter. It's over in the same time that it takes you to complete Spec Ops iirc. The only boring thing is that you are left with a cliffhanger, and that cliffhanger isn't resolved in the comics. But overall I do think it's a good timewaster. I dunno, it didn't forced me to think because I mostly look for mental vacations when I play games (what other people call "escapism"). I have played and enjoyed more serious games, but as I said I was able to do so because those games were designed to be played in a relevant manner which made you think about the stuff you were doing. Other than that, I'd rather read a book or watch a documentary if I wanted some serious discussion.

 

[Riskbreaker]

Darkness 2 is good for what it is: fun, unpretentious linear FPS that revels in its gratuitous comic book violence. Action is immensely satisfying and brutal, and game is pleasant enough to look at. I genuinely enjoyed it (something I really can't say for the vast majority of modern AAA shooters I've had "pleasure" to play), enough so that I ended up finishing it on NG+.

Valid points, though I haven't played Bioshock Infinite or Darkness 2 so I can't comment on that one.

Still, I liked Spec Ops because of its theme. From the absolutely cliche approach it takes its 6 hour journey to evolve into a game which, in my opinion, succeeds to point out the faults of the tropes present in modern-day military shooters and the way they are poorly handled. And I think that's what the game was going for.

 

[Metro]

What is there to say? If you really found the narrative and/or rhetorical style of Spec Ops that deep then your exposure to truly insightful narratives be it through literature, film, or other forms of media is extremely limited.

Nice conclusion, good logic, totally.

I don't think it was meant as a parody, more like some deconstruction of the military FPS genre, although it didn't quite succeed because it takes itself a bit too seriously. It's not a bad game per se, but opinions vary. The white phosphorous scene wasn't shocking because of the way it was portrayed, but because you as the player were forced to do it, basically.

Not sure if this belongs here or in a new Gazebo thread but...

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/vampire-masquerade-rpg-bundle

Tons of V:TM sourcebooks.
Now, I never got into WOD games, nor do I know people that play them. The structure of those publications seem to be rather different to the p&p systems I'm used to. So if anyone here's familiar with the ruleset, I'd like to ask two questions:
-Does this collection provide a comprehensive set of crunch and fluff to get a good session running, or is this full of rarely useful fluff while essential publications are missing?
-Is this actually... good?

To piggyback on this, another website has a sale of the V20 books. Which edition is preferable?
