Thread for Gamers VIII: Revenge of the Sh**

I've been playing a lot of DICE Battlefront II recently. I'm having a lot of fun.

Extinction should be extinct.

[CITY18]

early this week i got a run of dead cells where all my equipment boosted my damage by 2x but caused me to take 2x damage in return.

i did the only logical thing to do in that situation other then restarting and used the frantic blade with hp just under 50%. crits plus all those boosts made the clock tower and assassin a piece of cake. died at the castle though, wanted to see how the king would fair against 20 brutality 8x boosted crits from the frantic blade

Got second place in Fortnight, on another game got to 7th and got 7 kills.

Got back to Profreshional after a trip of bad games sent me back, fell from Superfresh but got back.

Also, a triple kill.

There's a reason why I like to buy the hardcopy. I can always resell it later on, if I need to.

Unfortunately, the AAAss have succeeded in killing GameStop at least in my area.

The closest place I can get games at is Walmart and that's 30 minutes away.

I'm hoping they'll open up a new place in this new mini mall near us but I doubt it.

I usually buy games over the internet, but the last game I bought came from Best Buy, which has a very small selection of 3DS games.

When you find a free game, but you need Winzip to install it. Ain't that a bitch.

Try 7zip? It works pretty well when you’re told you need winzip.

Also, holy shit STALKER is also a great horror game.

There I was, walking along, in the dead of night, and I realized how fucking stupid I am to not be very worried.

I walk through a fucking gate into an encampment, and I see my "Someone can see you" meter go off.

I think, like a fucking buffoon, that's it's probably just another mutant dog or boar or pig.

AND THEN A CHIMERA, ONE OF THE HARDEST ASSHOLES IN THE WHOLE GAME, JUMPS OUT FROM BEHIND A LOG PILE.

I literally fucking shit my pants.

I hate the Controller in STALKER : Call of Pripyat, especially since when I first encountered him which in the cave, I had no idea who I faced.

I know that feeling. Oftentimes, I'll be in first place or second place in Mario Kart, and than there's some sort of technical issue.

Ah yes the Controller you just made me remember when I was a wew young lad playing Chernobyl. I'm so fucking old.

It's a somewhat similar story... I seem to have overconfidence as a fatal flaw of mine.

Up until then, I hadn't fought any mutants except for the usual dogs and whatnot. I found the bloodsucker in the underground tunnel dead because the bandits there had killed him before I got there. I assumed it was a scripted event... And then I got to that one tunnel and I saw that fucker, not knowing what it was.

Of course, I assumed it was nothing, and raised my gun up to shoot it... And then, it began.

"What the fuck is this?" I said, emptying an entire magazine into it. It blasted me and blasted me more with psych waves. "WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK."

I retreated and ran as far back as I could, thinking I was going to die. Luckily, the psychic damage went away, so I went back and kept trying to shoot it. As it kept coming closer not dying, I panicked and used grenades against it, all of them, and that's how I ended up killing it.

Anyone played any neat strategy games lately?

STALKER YO

Does Squad count as a strategy game.

I feel it's pretty strategic at points.

I mean more in the sense that you select a group of boyos or girlos and send them to and shank the fuck out of another group of boyos or girls from the sky like a magical sky fairy, and maybe build things that makes more groups of said peoples.

So Dead Space is one of my all time favorite franchises, and thinking back on it, dabbling around a little bit for old times sake, there's something about Dead Space 3 that I really loved.

I know Dead Space 3 wasn't the best Dead Space, from its focus on action and co-op over scares, and the introduction of microtransactions, but despite those, I still really loved it. I loved co-op and playing with friends especially, and it's actually part of the co-op experience that, thinking back on it, was my favorite thing about Dead Space 3.

The dynamic between Isaac and Carver was neat IMO, and I liked some of their banter, but my favorite part was in the second half of the game, when Carver begins to be affected by a Marker, and have hallucinations like Isaac. Playing the game the first time with a good friend, I was Carver, while he was Isaac. While Carver eventually begins to have hallucinations due to being around a marker, Isaac doesn't, having already "beaten" it. This really plays into side-quests in the game, rather than the main story, specifically those surrounding Isaac and Carvers' delving into old SCAF bases and tram systems, and it's here that Carver starts to see stuff that reminds him of his wife and son - birthday presents, toy soldiers, birthday streamers, etc. When I first saw these in one mission, my reaction was "what the fuck is with the toy soldiers", to which my friend replied "Uh...what?"

I would insist that there were toy soldiers and birthday decorations everywhere, while my friend was confused and asked what kind of drugs I was on. In one mission, we had to defend a cache, which I saw as a birthday cake. When I asked about the birthday cake, my friend's reaction was a bewildered "What the fuck are you talking about?", and we began to argue and laugh while I, funnily enough, insisted I wasn't crazy. These hallucinations of Carver also included him seeing a crying, bloody woman, who ran away all the time. When I jumped or talked about it, my friend wouldn't know what I was on about. The most tense moments of this came when we were attacked by an endless wave of slashers. In Carver's game, he was hallucinating a black nightmareish landscape full of monsters, with a giant marker in the middle - In Isaac's game, Carver stood still while he was alone fighting the necromorphs. The conversation went along the lines of my friend yelling "Why are you just standing there? They're coming from the hallway!" while I yelled back "What hallway? Don't you see the marker?!?" for several minutes.

Eventually, we replayed the game with swapped roles, and when my friend played as carver and got to these parts, the panic, and then realization afterwards, was hilarious.

Looking back on that, I really though that was a great mechanic. It had us wondering what the hell the other was talking about, and made the experience that much more entertaining. I wish there was another Dead Space game that could use that sort of mechanic more.

Dead Space 3 also had some DANK suits. Carver's Earthgov Military suit was my favorite.

It took me over a year before I beat the first game, because I was thirteen and it gave me nightmares.

I beat the second one over a month or so. Beat the third one in just a few days of playing.

I generally hate horror games and I basically could only slowly move through the first game chapter by chapter. For reasons I can’t quite explain, I still love it. It’s a great series.

The storytelling and lore is also really good.
