Anyone else get GDI and Nod vibes from the Coalition and Gaalsians in Homeworld Deserts of Kharak?

What?

Because Rockstar in 2002 put someone in a game who is based on someone that used to be represented by the group of physics. Also it should be noted that the character was actually voiced by the person she was loosely based on. She died last year so apparently they got it into their head that they could now make money off something she did that they had no part in.

I haven't felt euphoria like this in a long time, if ever. :)

I honestly can't go back to regular games using such mundane devices like monitors, mice, and keyboards. It all feels so rudimentary, primitive, and cumbersome.

I give you 6 months tops until you admit to yourself that you fell for a gimmick. An admittedly cool gimmick, but a gimmick all the same.


I'd have initially agreed with you :p , but having tried some of the full-fledged games for the Rift I can now confidently say that I will be a full-time VR gamer.

To battle lads!

Tagged along with this squad of infantry, we hit the enemy hard for a bit and overran part of their line near a town we were defending, but then they counter attacked and had a lot more machine gun and grenades, so we all died horribly.

Think i got two kills (doesnt really tell you "you killed so and so with x weapon" etc so im kind of guessing), also team killed the squad leader, whoops.


Oh and later as i was scavenging for gear in another assault i walked up (mind i was acting as a medic here with field kits, bandages etc) and executed a wounded enemy soldier with my pistol. Fuck the medical code i guess.

Okay i had a lot of fun tonight in Foxhole.

Firstly, joined a server and had to join the warden faction, warden faction had no bases left so i had to spawn in the wild with a pistol and a hammer. Less than a minute of running around im being chased by a bunch of yanks from the enemy team trying to gun me down through the hedgerows. Decide fuck it and call out that i surrender fully expecting to be domed in the head.


Nope, the yanks took me prisoner and escorted me merrily down a road towards one of their bases before we all die horribly in a counter attack by my team. RIP the defector dream. Then i spawn at a base my team just captured (only base we had for the two hours i played) and had to deal with enemy tanks just casually driving through running usover before we fended them off.

Then i met this awesome dude called Desertfox who led me and a bunch of others on raids at enemy supply lines, where we nailed several trucks and looted all their components for our own side. On the way me and a medic fell behind where we came across a lone enemy soldier who i brutally executed in front of the medic with a rifle round to the head.

I even led my own little raid with two dudes and had a very nervous moment as an enemy tank stopped on the other end of the hedges from us. Then we met up with Desert Fox who led us on a night raid to capture an enemy settlement some scouts had told us was devoid of contact except a few bunkers. Fucking obliterated a side wall with HE grenades then stormed in towards the town hall to capture it... and then got annihilated by half a dozen new foxholes and bunkers the enemy set up around the town hall, they must have seen a scout or two from our side and figured something was up.

Me and three others survived and i led them on an attempted raid on the previous supply line we attacked before, but it was way to heavily fortified and i died, leaving my brave boyos alone in the bushes behind enemy lines. Then i spawned to see four enemy tanks crash through our front gates into the path of four heavy AT guns. Much explosions, such fire, it was fun as fuck.

Im near certain my team is going to lose that tho, only one base and we have like on tank when i left off.

Got trapped in a field hospital with a few other players from my team in foxhole, and one of the enemy players outside started playing the Soviet Anthem as psychological warfare to drive us out. Fucking brilliant.

Unfortunately not. Was not on for that long though, one of the three soldiers i was with ran out guns blazing with an SMG and we were like "Welp that fucker's dead" as we heard all the gun fire out side. Then the anthem cut off and he walked back in and then bled to death. Crazy bastard fucking killed how ever many of them were out there.

Tales from the Borderlands is a much superior game to Telltale Game of Thrones.

Then again, I find Game of Thrones uninteresting and this game seems to have already made it clear that I shouldn't care, because horrible things are gonna happen no matter what.

Like, there was an option that no matter what you did, it lead to death.

I really have to disagree, although that might be because I really don't care about Borderlands or anything to do with the franchise. Looter Shooters of the absurd degree Borderlands was (and how I really dislike loot in games in general) really put me off the whole franchise and all things related. Plus the worldbuilding I found to be trying way too hard.

For me TellTale GoT had me on the edge of my seat. It was like playing a whole extra season of the show.
