The Arkham games are absolutely perfect.
You should definitely go through Arkham Knight after City if you haven’t already. It looks even better and holds up just as much if not a bit more. And don’t listen to the haters about the Batmobile.
That’s kinda fun.
My city a few years ago did playing cards with local restaurants on them
No fucking way he actually made a real card game for it
I mean there’s some questionable views about WW2 and Nazi Germany for instance.
Just look at Stroheim from JoJo’s
With InFamous, RPCS3 works damn near flawlessly (some games need some tweaking individually to smooth out some kinks, but it’s easy to do).
I ran into some issues late-game in the first one where if you attacked a certain enemy with your basic shock attack, it would totally freeze and crash the game, so you need to switch it to the ASMJIT recompiler. Which, if you do that, the game will run almost perfectly aside from minor audio and graphical bugs.
The second one has some framerate issues, but it’s entirely playable. I’m on the last mission of my good playthrough now.
I’ve been going fucking wild with emulators lately.
I have Dolphin, Xenia, OpenGOAL, PCSX2 and RPCS3. I have Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Heroes, Sonic '06, all the Ratchet & Clank PS2 games, the Sly Cooper trilogy and Sly 4, all the Jak games, the first two InFamous games, the Tak trilogy, and even more.
I was wanting Sony (or someone) to port at least Sly and Jak to PC, so I got tired of waiting and just got emulators. Old games are super fun.
Go get it RIGHT NOW
Damn. I have too many mods for GMod on my PC because it takes about 20 minutes to load into a map, and about 5 to crash.
And of course porn flash games
“The human mind. Six hundred miles of synaptic fiber, five and a half ounces of cranial fluid, fifteen hundred grams of complex neural matter… A three pound pile of dreams. But I’ll tell you what it really is. It is the ultimate battlefield–and, the ultimate weapon. The wars of this modern age–The Psychic Age-- are all fought somewhere between these damp, curvaceous undulations. From this day forward, you are all Psychic Soldiers. Paranormal Paratroopers! Mental Marines who are about to ship out on the adventure of their lives! THIS IS OUR BEACHHEAD. And this is your landing craft! You shall engage the enemy in his own mentality! You shall chase his dreams, you shall fight his demons, you shall live his nightmares! And those of you who fight well, you will find yourselves on the path to becoming international secret agents. In other words… Psychonauts! The rest of you… WILL DIE.”
Imo (and most other fan’s opinions) you should absolutely start with the OG, if nothing else than to see how gaming has evolved and such.
If you’re feeling it, I’d recommend just jumping into BM. With the original being so fresh in your mind, you’ll really appreciate the work these people put into their remake. It’s so full of love for everything in the original (and a bit of HL2) that it still kinda blows me away with all the little details and such. The scientists and other NPCs all look distinct now and have different personalities and voices, and before shit hits the fan you’ll hear plenty of little banter and idk chat between your coworkers as you make your way to the rest chamber.
There’s also, as a mod for Black Mesa, another team remaking Blue Shift in the new engine and all. They’re not done with the game yet, but what they have is about 3-4 hours worth of story finished (the first 5 or 6 levels I believe), and it’s actually expanded on even more than in Black Mesa or the original Blue Shift. There are more named characters, extra parts added to missions, and it feels like the same care went into remaking Blue Shift as went into making Black Mesa.
There’s also a fun part at the beginning that has an overlap with Black Mesa where you, as Barney, see Gordon go by in the tram, and I think he flips you off in like a teasing playful way.
People did shit like this all the time on reddit. Why are you personally taking offense to this?
I’ve been curious about Lethal Company, but I’m not a streamer and I don’t have friends to play with.
That said there’s another game almost identical to LC called Murky Divers and instead of going around different research stations on different planets, you’re cleaning out research stations underwater.
You have a sub that you use to go around the ocean, and there’s like a radar to help you navigate, avoid creatures and obstacles, and find locations to actually go into. There are all manner of creepy underwater creatures and anomalies to find/avoid, and I’m sure there’s at least one giant sea creature that can come and fuck you up if you’re not careful.
Tbh I didn’t get very far because as soon as I pulled up to a location and got out of the sub, I freaked out and turned the game off. I ended up refunding it because, again, I don’t have friends to play with and I’m not a streamer lol. But it did seem like an interesting spin on the concept.
The “dry heat” line comes from Hudson when they first go into the reactor/nest and they’re looking around, just before the attack.
Legacy of Kain: Defiance. They got actual stage actors and real acting veterans to voice a lot of the major roles in that game. It feels like you’re playing through some epic dark fantasy movie because of it.
Also, it may sound weird, but some of the audio logs in Prototype 2 actually fucked me up because they did such an amazing job. The one that’s stuck with me the most is one you can find fairly early on in the game, where a mom is trying to stop a government soldier from shooting her son because he’s nonverbal (and therefore can’t “prove” he’s not infected), and it’s absolutely gut wrenching. I had to stop playing for a few minutes after I heard because it was so intense. Here’s the recording if any of you were curious.
Super Troopers
From “The Snozzberries taste like Snozzberries!” to “BEARFUCKER! DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE?!” almost every line in that movie is quotable and relevant to most situations.
I remember Pivot… Good times.
Who actually needs an excuse to play Halo though?
Hell ya
