Roasty fantasizing about racial violence. https://kotaku.com/the-leaked-box-art-for-far-cry-new-dawn-owns-1830916739
I find it very fitting that the villains who want you to "Give us yo' shit," are mannish, disgruntled looking negresses. https://media.comicbook.com/2018/12/far-cry-new-dawn-1149231.jpeg
They could at least make the darkies look somewhat appealing
Anyone here playin CSGO?
Anyone here interested in racing games? I mainly use my PS4.
Well, **Trials Rising** is kinda stupid in a few places, the single-player is *sketchy* at best. For example, the silly finishes plus certain movable parts of the sections clash hard against the overall "serious" approach to the game.
Then you have gameplay-related issues, that's not good. You gotta think like if this was the 80s, where you had to slow down on purpose on shit like **Ivan Stewart's Super Offroad** to avoid the AI from becoming insanely fast for certain stuff later on. I never thought I'd see another racing game where I have to slow down on purpose.
I gotta admit I'm kinda disappointed by the overall execution of this game. It's alright as a pick-up-and-play bullshit game and also as a sandbox (track editor) and even a party game (offline multiplayer)... but the single-player career mode was made by a bunch of idiots.
The fat bearded guy, the one that gives you contracts for the BMX bike or the "Donkey" (based after the Honda Monkey), is the creative director in real life, the one that appeared on the E3 conferenced riding a pitbike/minibike. He did a fantastic job with Fusion (the game has a fucking plot and it's amazing) but he has earned a solid F with Rising.
The only thing I've seen that is 100% a nice idea (but they didn't use it enough) was reusing certain stages. Some stages have an easy/medium version, then a hard/extreme version. It's kinda rare, still a solid concept that gives the player a nice feeling of "I'm getting into a bigger league".
Oh, Trials Fusion.
I am trying to find a good FPS to play that has a good single player, that also isn't a shooting gallery simulator
DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal are awesome.
I have Doom 2016
I love it
is Doom Eternal out?
cause if that's the case I know what I am doing over spring break
Damn, not sure.
@Grump The Horrible One of the things they do brilliantly, apart from music, is the Characterisation of Doom Guy.
you not locked in a room with demons, they are locked in a room with doom guy
yeah Doom "4" was a breath of fresh air imo
I might install and play FEAR again
@Grump The Horrible I'd say it was the first game perfectly rebuilt for the modern era.
I have been playing Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and that is super fun but my friends are all busy playing something else
They distilled the spirit of the first doom absolutely perfectly.
yep
I am taking a break from RE:2 remake. which also was one of the best remakes of an old game. CAPCOM has been on point lately
The thing about certain types of "copying" in the creative arts is that they require people just at brilliant as the original makers to pull off, like the case of Brandon Sanderson ghost writing the last parts of Wheel of TIme.
lol yeah
@Grump The Horrible The Doom engine is very good, and unlike others, it gets resolution upgrades when used with processors with more cores.
might try playing on nightmare again
People have described its unusual performance as being due to an engine that "shunts as much data to the GPU as possible as fast as possible".
well also I'd imagine it's well optimized
and well coded
Not just that, it's a clever architecture.
isn't that a thought! Making something that works well and is fun to play is a winning strategy for making a great game! The other Devs that are under Bethesda should take note lol
@Grump The Horrible Remember when Sony execs publicly demonstrated an "amazing new feature" their games had, by one executive passing a copy to another executive?
"here's how to share games on PS4." ::passes game over:: "Thanks!"
