Picked up Rainbow six Seige during the sale. Got fucked by ubisoft(shocker), ended up having to mess with the registry to just get it to work.

Siege is at least enjoyable if you can get some friends to join in

Or other people who play shitty spess games, anyway

My only gripe with the game now is i end up aiming at the floor half the time because my iron sights take up 64.79% of the screen and i can't see shit

Strike Suit Zero.

Hey, this is actually pretty decent.

Good game, too bad the devs switched to Fractured Space instead of making another SSZ game.

SWTOR is a complete fucking mess.

They're literally doing forms of psychological torture to get you to shill 30 bones to subscribe. The worst offender is the credit cap. Constant, repetitive notifications when you earn credits 50k under and at the cap. It's like water dripping, it gets to you and makes you break down as a person until you give in. Or you mute the sound which is what I did.

Past that since I subbed a while ago when Rise of the Hutt Cartel came out I've been capped at level 55 rather than the max level, 65. This means I can't really do end-game content since I'm not max level which is really dissapointing, so I think I'll put the game down until they fix their shit even though they never will since I'm not willing to give these fuckers my money to have the "pleasure" to nolife it up grinding my gear to be as good as possible and then immediately replace it with better shit when the new expansion drops.

what is that from lmao

"what kinda plastic surgery u want my man"

just give me that 4x4 wood face landscaping gone wrong look

"say no more"

I appreciate a wrestling game that lets me create Moon Man

I also decided to revisit old grounds and fire up Cataclysm again.
Good to see tailoring is still god-tier best skill in the fucking game

I ain't playing a game but I'm making a map for Doom 2 that I've been working on and off on (mostly off) for a while now.0 I'm aiming to make it at least 30 minutes long since it's going to be a single map. If anyone wants to try it and gib me some feedback, feel free

Love me some classic doom, I'll give it a try

Yep, just as I suspected. It's just the Kadesh missions that suck dong. Everything past that was nowhere near as painful as that was, not even the Taiidan ambush.

The last mission was just fucking beautiful, though. Adagio getting louder and louder as you draw closer to Hiigara. The emperor himself literally being what stands between you and your homeworld. The constant enemy reinforcements, and the rebellion midway through. And the Bentusi coming in with the massive Council fleet. What a great ending.

Thanks bruh. Should be compatible with prboom and zdoom compatible sourceports. Just make sure you load the texture pack in there too or you'll get a million missing textures. Let me know what you think

I've been playing Europa Barborum II and it's been really fun. The battles are good, lots of sounds and horns and general oh shit moments as I defeat the Barbarian filth out of my italian peninsula.

It's also extremely historical accurate and your soldiers don't start instantly with fucking Lorica hamata like in the base game and it also models the use of auxilaries really well as the only provinces you can make actual roman legions is either home italian provinces or heavily invested in colonies that you've developed to that point.

Played to what i believe is the end of the WIP, large empty courtyard with a door that doesn't open, nothing on the other side when i nocliped through.

Not gonna lie, map was really fucking good. Textures were simple but well used, fights were interesting and challenging (that fucking ambush revenant in the water bit was a real mother fucker jesus) Good use of ambushes and levels. I really like how the early part of the level relies on the SSG to fight some tougher enemies, it is easily the best gun in vanilla. Overall level was challenging without being bullshit. Died once on UV but i am pretty good at the game by now.

My biggest criticism is that ammo is waaaaay too plentiful. Maybe scale back the boxes of bullets/shells slightly, or add more dudes to shoot at. In particular maybe add some more reanimatable dudes in front of the door where the arch vile comes out.

Also i dont know if this is just incomplete but the "secret" area with the rocket launcher is really easy to find and there is no risk or ambush associated with it.

Over all this map has some chops. I have played a LOOOOOOOOOOOT of doom maps and i have seen a lot of garbage. This map has some real promise.

Also i was playing it on GZDOOM and i kept seeing little white spots that would appear and disappear as i moved. Not sure if it was GZDOOM specific or just a problem with your texture pack

Gunning down ruskies on horseback blaring the Dead Kennedys may get old. But not for awhile.

Done with Strike Suit Zero.

Maybe once I have time I'll Platinum those four missions I couldn't, then grind out the remaining achievements and check out Heroes of the Fleet.

I'm gonna be playing the shit out of Zero Time Dilemma today when it releases later today. Anyone who wants to watch because they're poor, add me on Steam. Username: Defeating Foes In Battle

TIS-100.

Didn't realise how much I love the JRO command.

Reinstalled Company of Heroes 2. The game is good but good lord the later campaign missions are awful. All of the sniper missions are terrible and there's this one where you have to defend two chokepoints from Germans but it doesn't tell you that you have to defend both, just that you have to capture them so you'll get fucked since your entire army is on one side and there's nothing on the other.

HOLY SHIT MAN BLESS THIS RAVAGED BODY

been riding a wave of warhammer fantasy hype as of late, anyone wanna run some vermintide sometime?

Dorf is best.

Best is dorf.

Yeah I got a really good green rifle for the dorf and he became my new main. Although saltzpyre will always be coolest, fucking infinity pistols plus one with the rapier is so much damn fun

Such is life in the zone.

Played through Highway Blossoms in a single sitting. I'm normally not really into VNs (unless they have actual gameplay like Dangan Ronpa) but damn this one was good. Great characters, extremely funny and an emotional roller coaster.

3 is disgusting.

I'd had my eye on Bunker Punks for a while, so I picked it up during the Summer Sale. It's an interesting take on the FPS roguelite--you run raids on monolithic corporations, stealing money and grabbing gear, and upgrading your bunker to strengthen your Punks between runs. Once all your guys bite it it's game over, but then you can go to the REAL market and buy actual upgrade unlocks. The visuals are charmingly old-school if a bit repetitive (so far), and the sound quality is surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting voice acting, at least not as crisp as it is.

So it is like the pink Mohawk half of shadowrun?

The actual run'n'gun isn't that wacky, though the game certainly has personality. It's very old-school: no reloading, no cover mechanics, hell, not even any crouching. Just dash through a maze of a level shooting robots and grabbing money until the elevator unlocks. There are a lot of modern twists, though: you are limited in how many guns you can carry--I'm only up to two so far--and you can only carry what you wear, so you might swap out armor that gives you more protection for one that gives you a 10% boost to shotgun damage, for instance.

Is there still that unkillable minigun guy who comes after you if you take too long

I... don't know. I haven't encountered him yet, if he's still in the game. Maybe I just haven't gotten far enough yet.

Seems I'm actually thinking of the wrong game. My bad.

The Planetside 1 servers got shut down. This was its final moments. [youtube]tOi-vlzRHEw[/youtube]

Ripperoni. Always said when old games like this eventually shut down. I remember the city of heroes being a tearful goodbye as well. Same with Halo 2, although it is not quite the same when there are not persistant characters/stats

A similar thing happened with Final Fantasy 14 [youtube]YgEg8kXmifo[/youtube]

I want a game akin to the plantetside-alike 40k game where I can play as an imperial guardsman. I don't care if I suck compared to the xboxhueg SPESS MUHREENS

That would be cool as hell if it wasn't PvP. Imagine 1000 fellow Guardsmen in a trench, some on a stubber shooting rushing Ork Boyz trying to advance on your position. Then the Commissar gives the order. Go over the top. Suddenly 1000 dudes with flashlights rush into Loota fire and get mowed the fuck down, while Leman Russ Tanks crush the fallen and destroy Ork positions, their screaming and crying being drowned out by the sound of gunfire and tank treads.

All that XP, all those BR and CR, all those merits and distinctions and ribbons... all those jackhammer trophies from dead smurfs.

Gone. Like tear drops in the rain.

For Final Fantasy 14 all their characters still exist. That cinematic was just marking a complete recode of the game. Every character that existed previously was given access to specific items and tattoos.

The Seventh Cataclysm in FFXIV had two purposes: to give a lore explanation for why the game suddenly looks and works so differently after the reboot, and to give the players a one-of-a-kind epic farewell event. At that time the dev team was still in full damage control to regain the trust of the players and ensure them that this time around they knew what they were doing.

The after-effects are still visible everywhere in the rebooted version, which is very cool. Those massive "swords" that dropped out of the moon can still be found in several places, encapsulated in crystallized aether. There's even a whole chain of raids related to it that go deeper into what exactly happened in that video there.

Sega bought out Amplitude and Endless Space 2 is gonna be dropping on Early Access later this year.

Everyone wrote:Ideas for the best damn Imperial Guard game of all time

I am really torn on the plausibility of this one. So much of the marketability of 40k is the BIG HUGE BEEFCAKE SPESS MEHREEHNS STEHL RHEN RIP AND TEAR type bullshit. At the same time though they have really been going all out giving licensing rights away for all kinds of awesome games, even if they are mostly fantasy ones. I think a hyper grimderp war is hell style IG game could probably sell pretty well. Maybe not in a PvP sense, but a kind of 1st or 3rd person shooter hybridized with a tactical style game. It would be really easy to be able to swap to one of the billion other guardsmen when you die/have people join as random mooks at any time. Could probably slot a little vehicle combat in there as well. Just say it is targeted to the COD audience and the higher ups will throw money at you.

I wonder if there are any imperial guard mods for Arma

The EA Battlefront would be a pretty good candidate for a 40k mod if anyone would ever want to put their mind to it. Guard vs. Traitor Guard or something with some custom maps would seem to be a fun game.

Malkevin wrote:I wonder if there are any imperial guard mods for Arma

If anyone does try one, it'd likely get shut down by GW Because the only thing they throw around more than ridiculous price tags are cease and desists on modders.

To all the people asking for a planetside-2 style 40k game: You realize that is a thing in development right now, right? Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade. It's in Early Access right now.

I've logged... uh, 84 hours in it.

At present, it's an arena shooter, because it's still in the alpha phase. 20-30 people a side in fights isn't uncommon, though.

There are some noticeable balance issues at the moment, but that's a result of the quite sensible dev attitude of "It's in alpha, not all the toys are even available, we're gonna wait until we actually have everything implemented as planned before we start tweaking the balance of things whose intended counter does not yet exist."

There's no IG though

Yeah my original post on the matter was mostly because the one that exists is spess mehreens only and that does not interest me much
