I can't deny that I have an unhealthy affection for this game. Even though I don't have time to really play the game like I want to, it's always in my rotation.
It's just so likeable too me.
First of all, it's a submarine game during ww2 from the German perspective. The whole idea of a submarine is just fucking insane to begin with, and the fact that poor klaus is scrapping the bottom of the Atlantic ocean and running into giant squids while the entire North Atlantic fleet from England and the US is running around in zig-zags dropping bombs on you.... Yeah survival horror at it's best.
It's up there with Resident Evil and Dino Crisis.
Also the fact that if you go to the North Pole the sun doesn't go away and all of your instruments go crazy makes me sexually aroused.
You think Metal Gear Solid is a stealth action game? LOL. Try sneaking into New York harbor during 1944.
Yes the time-compression navigation map is basically Fallout with trigonometry.
About to sink an ammunition ship. Very rewarding gameplay. There's other games on steam trying to improve the Silent Hunter 3 experience, but they are all over the place. UBOAT has the ability to board other vessels which I would really love to do. Hope they update the game more. RPG at sea is a good idea.
And when an ammunition ship catches on fire... You get a customary astronautical program for the sailors.

What game are you playing?
I'm playing KOTOR 1 with all the HD modded stuff to run it at 1920x1080. It held up really well. I also have The Community Patch installed.

Isonzo should've been an update to Verdun and Tannenberg instead of its own game. They are just splitting the playerbase.
I'm playing through all the Geneforge games in order. Currently on 3, my least favorite so far where crafting, time limits and area gating are introduced. I'm playing as a hardcore Shaper, the only sensible choice, even though the game keeps trying to get me to cuck to liberal ideologies by trying to make me feel bad for a bunch of rogue servile creations.

Been dabbling with some GZDoom games/mods. In particular, this amazing Castlevania game that accurately pays homage to the classic series in first-person. In all honesty, I think it plays better than actual Castlevania lol. Shame Konami never thought to produce something similar.
I've been playing FTL Multiverse again. Damn fine.
Also felt really old recently: I saw Into the Breach released more than five years ago. In my memory and mind it just came out, at least somewhere recently. Has it really been five years?

Completed Ion Fury. It had some obnoxious level design in the last half, but I had a lot of fun. It's my observation that the people who hated this really liked Blood and/or Shadow Warrior and I hated those games myself, so that makes sense.

Been playing through Half-Life for the first time, via the MMOD version on Steam. Man have I been missing out, it's an exceptional title and superior to it's sequels in all honesty. Half-Life 2 is ok, but this game outshines it in every category that matters. The gameplay is fast-paced and fun, weapons are cool, there aren't any unskippable cutscenes to wait through (except for the intro), and the worldbuilding is fantastic. Black Mesa feels like a real place, and the way you traverse it feels more realistic too. Solutions aren't always obvious, and it makes you look for a path through the environment that may not be clearly laid out.
Haven't reached the "Zen" parts yet, which I hear is pretty bad, but from what I've played I'm pleasantly surprised.

Hah, I've played that for a bit too. I stopped midway through Heskel's HQ because for some reason the game kept softlocking. It's a fun time for sure, and runs smooth as butter as can be expected.Roguey wrote: ↑ June 7th, 2023, 20:42Completed Ion Fury.

Half-Life is shit as many of the older FPS games had multiple routes to finish the level. Half-Life did away with that by turning it into a corridor shooter.KnightoftheWind wrote: ↑ June 9th, 2023, 19:20Been playing through Half-Life for the first time, via the MMOD version on Steam.

I don't mind the game not being designed like a maze, with keys to find like the classic FPS games. It's different than that, and I think it succeeds. It feels like an ongoing adventure, rather than a series of disconnected levels. And the MMOD has a chapter select so I don't have to replay the bad stuff if I ever want to revisit it.MadPreacher wrote: ↑ June 9th, 2023, 19:23Half-Life is shit as many of the older FPS games had multiple routes to finish the level.

The design of ths game really set the standard for every FPS game since, and while I can't say things turned out all that great at least 'this' game did it right.

I'm not either, but you're a heretic that doesn't know the Word of God and breaks every law God set down. That means you're an idiot.

Yes, because the software you consume truly determines how nice your farts smell.
