And theyve just rereleased SOTN on the PS4 so letting it go as part of this package would be eating into more lucrative sales

yeah same with crash and spyro i assume

the original GTA is awesome, btw
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 20:59 (five years ago) link
also, seeing Twisted Metal on that list reminds me that someone needs to make a good modern car battle game. i spent many a hour with TM and Vigilante 8 - doing it online on a modern console would be a blast

I've been mentioning Subnautica here since early access in 2016, its lodged between Dark Souls Remastered and XCOM 2 in the top 10 of PC Gamer's greatest PC games you can play in 2018.
I'm on my fourth playthrough. Just smelling the seaweed, building a nice observation dome, murdering bonesharks with tiger plant beds.

atm i have to finish rdr2 + two point hospital tho so it might be some time till i can get to it. it is on my wishlist.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 16:14 (five years ago) link
can i ask a question here, seeing as this is the only lively thread on ILG (maybe it's not)?
i've been re-playing Half Life Episode 2 and am looking for something else in a similar vein (FPS, dark). would i enjoy the STALKER games? and do they work on Win10 (it's 2007 vintage game, only lists supported OS up to Vista)
Supported OS: Microsoft® Windows® XP(Service Pack 2) / Microsoft® Windows® 2000 SP4Supported OS: Microsoft® Windows® XP/Vista (SP1)
thanks in advance

(i think yes, with some noodling: https://steamcommunity.com/app/4500/discussions/0/530649887206982398/ )
it also means booting into windows to play it...

Metro 2033 games are closer, I think. Stalker was a little more open ended it seemed to me, like Fallout or Far Cry in miniature. It kind of reminded me of a multiplayer online game without any other players. Maybe that feeling changes after the first few hours, but I stopped playing because I couldn’t get into it. Definitely not that same cinematic feel that half-life 2 has
― Dan I., Thursday, 1 November 2018 12:55 (five years ago) link
they were giving out metro 2033 for free on steam the other day idk if thats still going
― ciderpress, Thursday, 1 November 2018 13:09 (five years ago) link
the first stalker was only 3 quid when i looked so i figured i'd risk it.
> Stalker was a little more open ended it seemed to me, like Fallout or Far Cry
like what what? 8) i don't play a lot of games, too much of a time sink, but i was off ill for 3 weeks following an operation and remembered i had the orange box. currently finding the end of episode 2 impossible...
will look into metro 2033 as well, thanks.
― koogs, Thursday, 1 November 2018 13:24 (five years ago) link
metro 2033 video looks good. the 2013-ness means it'll be harder on the laptop though. but linux support = good.
yeah if youve got an old / non gaming pc it might not be what yr looking for
― ciderpress, Thursday, 1 November 2018 13:41 (five years ago) link
the laptop's pretty recent (2017, i5, nvidia 950), but it is a laptop. 2010 games look lovely with everything turned up high, you can almost smell the putrefaction.

fallout new vegas? or 3 for that matter

My fave old movie-like FPS is probably F.E.A.R. Came out in 2005 so your i5/950 will eat it up. It shares with HL2 the narrative woven into the gameplay and fun bad guy AI. Wiki says its an FPS/horror game but I remember it being more creepy than horrific, tho if you can play in a darkened room with headphones then all the better. There's def bits that gave me the creeps (tho I was smoking a lot of weed at the time, ymmv). £9 on Steam.

koogs - have you played bioshock?
― thomasintrouble, Thursday, 1 November 2018 22:02 (five years ago) link
koogs, make sure you play portal in the orange box
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Thursday, 1 November 2018 22:19 (five years ago) link
Into The Breach. From the team that made Faster Than Light. Simple and nicely made turned based fighting game that I get way too addicted to.

same tbh
― ciderpress, Thursday, 1 November 2018 23:43 (five years ago) link
yeah, the orange box got played at the time, and second portal got played (twice, back to back) a couple of years ago when i was unemployed (along with that st:voyager game (creeping around borg ship) and tron 2.0 (pretty)).
bioshock is actually in my steam library, must've been on sale one year, but i don't think i got that far into it. same is true of fez, psychonauts, a couple of others.
will look into FEAR. (and Dead Space too, i hear good things). thanks.
the problem now is the bandwidth to download the things. and time.
― koogs, Friday, 2 November 2018 12:41 (five years ago) link
oh yeah, dead space is also great. more creepy creepy than shooty shooty but atmospheric as all out. make sure you install the control fix tho, I found the controls very sluggish without it. https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/840-dead-space-mouse-fix/
I've got bored of Far Cry 5 after about 10 hrs. Maybe the most amazing "graphics" I've played, and the actual moment-to-moment gameplay is ok I guess, but it's very samey and doesn't seem to go anywhere, it's like eating a bag of doritos.
I've started Dishonoured now, maybe an hour in? Cool so far! everything looks so blocky and flat after FC5 but I'm already having more fun sneaking about the city than I ever did shotgunning photorealistic bears.
― closed beta (NotEnough), Friday, 2 November 2018 14:20 (five years ago) link
FC5 is boring af. i did the first area and half of the faith area and at that point with the morphing animals and shit was so stupid i couldn't continue. i did like the stunt man challenges tho.
u know what game is actually gorgeous graphics tho? rdr2.
― Mordy, Friday, 2 November 2018 14:26 (five years ago) link

That PS1 Classic list.... they chose Puzzle Fighter over the PS1 SF Alpha 3? The basic platformer Rayman 1 over the 3D Rayman 2? Twisted Metal over its first sequel (both of which I'm guessing are unplayable now due to their low framerates)? No Crash, Spyro, Wipeout, Tomb Raider, PaRappa? I give them credit for including the first Persona, which wasn't popular at the time but people will probably want to play after P4 and P5.
― adam the (abanana), Saturday, 3 November 2018 15:32 (five years ago) link
persona 1 is a quite bad game and nothing like 4 or 5 - they didn't land on what people know as the persona formula with the VN/life-sim stuff until 3
― ciderpress, Saturday, 3 November 2018 15:39 (five years ago) link
was probably just chosen due to name recognition
― ciderpress, Saturday, 3 November 2018 15:40 (five years ago) link
they fixed the game to decent in a PSP rerelease later on but i assume this thing is just loading the original PSX isos so yeah thats not a game people are gonna be happy with i dont think
― ciderpress, Saturday, 3 November 2018 15:45 (five years ago) link
The basic platformer Rayman 1 over the 3D Rayman 2?
gotta disagree here, although part of it may be my distaste for 3D precision platformers. 2D precision i can handle, 3D precision jumping drives me insane. and regardless, 2D Rayman has better style, better animation, and aesthetically it holds up better today.

Was all set to play a lot of Red Dead this weekend and instead I played Through the Ages on my ipad. Obsessed.

I'm only playing the single player. I'm still learning the game.

i played single player for hours. the challenges are a lot of fun.

i re-installed RimWorld since it finally moved to version 1.0
after about an hour of tutorial mode, i turned into a zombie and cleared a bunch of storage on my ps4, bought RDR2, and initiated the epic download (93 GB)
― Karl Malone, Monday, 5 November 2018 21:57 (five years ago) link
a lot of my friends are loving the new RDR...
however I played a game called Laser League over the weekend and immediately downloaded it at home (free for the PS4). it's like BomberMan meets Tron and I can't put it down.

I tried Don't Starve over the weekend, and the Together multiplayer mode. But man did I get tired of it already.

I think I tried Don't Starve years ago, probably out of a Humble Bundle. Survival games are…not my thing.
Partner picked up Into the Breach for our Switch and the whole household is kinda preoccupied with it now.
