aaaaaaaand the server either crashed or has been shut down blaaaarrrrgh

at least it had the manners to not kill off my character and instead reset it back to pre-game state

You actually got the game

that the crytek game?

google tells me yes

yeah, took me all of last night to download it

Oh there is a discussion about this here too. Hah obviously went to wrong chat.

Think I saw Lirik stream it a while back. Looks interesting.

It's been interesting

It could fork in two directions though

Really, really good game, that's slower-paced and immersive and forces you to give a shit about your player

I remember seeing a trailer/teaser with some creepy spider crawling inside a barn

orrrrrrrrrrrr exploiting the game meta in a fashion where everyone is too paranoid to move for fear of being murdered by all the other campers who are waiting for other people to do the heavy lifting

that's what I did in the division

There's a whole heap of potential here

murder people and steal their gear

then that became repetitive and boring, like the rest of the game

A pox upon thee.

I teamed up with people too!

Then ganged up on others.

Yeah, I don't go to the dz in the division because I don't think that stealing people is funny

yeah, I tend to find that playstyle results in people who want to actually play the objective to quit the game

Leaving servers full of people who just want to kill other players, except everyone else is doing the same thing, so barely anything happens

I used to play a game called Instellar Marines

I still do occassionally

But yeah, stopped playing for like two years

Because in this game you 'rank up' by collecting points, and you collect points by killing the enemies in the environment and 'looting' the points from them

reached a point where one single slimy cunt could go prone behind a bush near an exit, wipe out your squad with a silenced weapon, and steal all of the points off you and your squad and then exit

after you've been busting your ass against very murderous ai robots for over an hour

and even though "it's just a game" and "global rankings don't matter"

when you see cunts like that waaaaaaaaaay above you on the game-wide scoreboard

you're basically just like 'yeah, get fucked'

THIS game isn't at that level, don't get me wrong on that

but if the devs make one wrong move

I backed Interstellar Marines on kickstarter, but it went into development hell at some point.

I just think it's currently a little too easy to let someone else find the bounty, kill the bounty, collect the bounty from the corpse, and then you can pick them off at that point

Hasn't happened to me *yet* but that's because I spend like twenty fucking minutes securing absolutely everything before trying to exit

only one guy working on it in his spare time now, I think.

Yeah, it's still kicking around

recently the community was able to get involved

so it's making headway again

but
