Decided to play another short game tonight. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this. So much so that I went and did every ending aside from one (Which I watched on youtube). Don't want to spoil it but if you have played it you know the ending I am talking about. If you haven't play SP, then when you do and end up looking up to see if you missed any endings you'll understand why I didn't do it myself. Regardless though definitely enjoyed my time with the game. The commentary and humor presented was very enjoyable as well as thought provoking. Definitely glad that I listened to steamGAF. Since had I only done one ending, I would have missed out on the experience. Easily the best "walking simulator" I have played thus far. Took me about 2 hours to do all of the endings.

Anyone playing the Rainbow Six beta? Impressions?
Click to expand...

Played on PS4. It's alright but not really all that impressive. More of a step back from vegas if you ask me. The shooting through walls and infiltration methods are cool, but not enough so that they were worth ditching a SP mode. Terrorist Hunt is pretty bad though. AI isn't very good and it's just a "looser" experience from before. Really all i can say is that unless you're really needing some MP, it's not going to be worth bothering with.

Have heard nothing but good things from the few people here who have it (not me though, going to wait for it to go on sale)

Yep I wasn't going to
Spend 4 hours of my life doing that.

Played Monster Loves You
-Got the kindness ending. The game is alright, the presentation is rather lacking though. Not enough there to really keep you involved or caring in what is actually going on. I don't think it's worth playing.

I'm on PS4 too. I actually am enjoying Terrorist Hunt quite a bit. I think a lot of it depends on the group you're with. A good group makes all the difference. The AI definitely isn't too bright though. I've found the movement and shooting to feel kind of sluggish. Animation is janky too. Also have had various issues (game crashing, falling through the world, disappearing guns).

Despite all of that I still like it. I wouldn't pay full retail price, but I've had fun. I like tactical military pew pew stuff though so I'm easy to please in that regard lol.

I just want Vegas 3. Siege is just weird to me. Like a weird Counter Strike spin-off. As for terrorist hunt, the fact that they are all on MP maps takes away from them. Granted it was like that in the other games as well. But for some reason in siege the maps feel like a MP map, rather than how they were handled prior. If that makes any sense.

Something weird just happened in MGSV. I was doing a side op where I had to rescue a prisoner, but I was knocking out the guards in the area before I rescued the prisoner. So there was a pair of guards on patrol together, and I decided to sneak up behind them to try and hold them both up at once (or at least hold up one and tranq the other).

But then, as often happens, they decide to turn around right as I was a few feet away from them, and one of the guards spots me. In reflex mode, I quickly shoot the guard that spotted me in the face with a tranq, and turn to aim at the guard who hasn't seen me yet, hoping I can hold him up before he spots me. All of the sudden Miller says "Great Work" over my radio, and both guards go flying into the air with balloons strapped to them, even though I clearly have not attached a fulton to them yet. I have no idea what happened.

Yeah I feel pretty much the same way. It does feel like a spin-off. And just kind of empty. Beyond the level destruction there isn't too much there. It can be fun but it lacks personality compared to previous games.

I wouldn't say its a really good game.. Its addicting. That's for sure.

It plays it so safe. Not taking any risk. Honestly its about as mediocre as it comes. But in this case, that's perfectly fine.
Click to expand...
I would have liked it more if it wasn't so formulated. Every enemy camp is the same, snipe the snipers from afar, destroy fuel tanks for flamethrowers using harpoon or thunderpoon, ram gate, go in and fight people, destroy objectives, sometimes multiple objectives, and you pick up scraps along the way. And every friendly stronghold leader asked you the same thing, clear the aforementioned camps, or drive to certain locations to shoot flares. There's this one thing Avalanche nailed perfectly though, it's Max's reluctance to help everyone else. Why would he care? Everything and everyone is so generic!

Ballad of Gay Tony and to an extent TLAD are much more enjoyable than GTA4 itself. I'm actually enjoying GTA4 now in spite of its controls.

I beat Dishonored without killing or alerting anyone *dances*

Did kill people for fun though and then quick load out of the consequences. Need to play the dlc. Don't remember why I stopped given how much I loved the base game.

i swear witcha 3 must be the buggiest game i've played in a long time.

thing is, all the bugs have so far been hilarious. things like triss' head catching on fire or random abusing of roach not taking fall damage or cows walking in front of cutscenes and obscuring the whole thing or just trying to get out of the bot and then being launched in the air into instadeath

i don't think i've had this much fun with bugs since i played boiling point, it's amazing, like every single time i play it i find something new

just now i had this quest to break a curse that was creating storms around the town. but like, there was no real storm... and then i finish the quest and they're all thanking me for saving them, and then suddenly a massive storm actually shows up

it's awesome

Even using the "non-lethal" method, it can still count as a kill sometimes, which is what happened to me.

there's a lot of weirdness about how the game registers kills

i've had a few people randomly count as dead in that game even tho i made sure they weren't like near water or rats or anything

oh well, much more fun as a murdering demon anyways

Iirc you have a way of telling living from dead bodies apart, if it happened all you had to do was reload last checkpoint before leaving the area.

Not in Granny Rag's case, you can confirm the she is inconscious before leaving the area and it can still count as a kill unfortunately :(

Yeah, and they only tell you at the end of the level if someone died, which is terrible.

Kinda soured a bit my playthrough, I love playing non-kill no alerts runs. Very satisfying especially in Very Hard.

to me it was the opposite

there's nothing satisfying about a no kill run in dishonored because all the fun stuff is for killing, using springtraps and making ppl shoot themselves and just running around killing everybody

in other games, sure, but in disho no-kill run is very lame

Bit of a bummer we aren't getting Lego Dimensions, seems to be getting good reviews despite the money grabbing

And using Blink is fun enough on it's own. Dishonored is great both as a more traditional stealth game with more platforming and a crazy murder sim

Game features the world of Portal.

Not available on PCs.

Valve doesn't give a shit about PC Gamers confirmed as long as they get their sweet sweet dosh.

Using a Xbox One controller with Windows 10 is incredibly frustrating. Some games require the new Xbox One Controller driver, some games use the old one. If I want to switch between games I have to constantly switch drivers, which is stupid beyond belief.

strangely outside of the bugs I got from using mods, I didn't run into many other than the ones related to animations and physics

The one bug I remember encountering is blacksmiths are sometimes not reponsive.
