  • Overwatch

    Quite recently started playing Overwatch again, haven't really played since Season 1. I've gotten into competitive too and it's quite fun and I really noticed how my skill improved by playing in more demanding matches. :) Currently at 2650:ish something.

    However, I am in a bit of a conundrum now when it comes to what heroes I should use and practice with. What is better in your experience, to know at least a character in the different roles or to know several characters in one or two roles so that you can adapt to enemy comp while still performing your "role"? Or in general, how do you guys pick your heroes? Do you stick to your main or mix more?

  • CoD WW2

    It's a realistic WW2 shooter. What's to get excited about? I'm surprised people aren't more critical. Aren't you guys bored of playing the same shit? Sure it's been a good few years since a AAA WW2 game, and we're now in a new generation of games, but you know EXACTLY how the game is going to play out. You know exactly how the guns are going to shoot. You know exactly which vehicles will be in this game. You know exactly the types of enemies you'll be shooting. I can guarantee one of your buddies is going to die in the singleplayer campaign and it's going to be super emotional with orchestral music playing in the background.

    I think the sci-fi CoD games were more interesting than this. I didn't play them, but at least they tried something a bit different. Dunno, maybe I'm just looking at this through a cynical lens.

    What other settings would you guys like to see in a CoD game, I wonder? Have they ever made one set in Vietnam? That could be interesting. Or perhaps some kind of alternate history.. Dunno. I guess the huge production costs and lengthy production time means the CoD series is always inevitably going to have to be lowest common denominator, and they couldn't really explore a smaller conflict/war.

    Realistic is a bit of a leap probably. :P But no jetpacks or anything, no (though zombies I guess heh).

    When it comes to "playing the same shit" I gotta disagree with your point of view. Shooters are diverse as hell when you look at the nitty gritties and a lot of people, me among them, can enjoy a lot of different flavours of shooter. CS:GO, Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty 4 may all share the same contemporary setting and their arsenals overlap but they play quite differently and have a slightly different take on things. The difference between these games is probably bigger than the difference between entries within each respective franchise. Having said that, this is CoD and it's probably mostly the same once again. I want to see what they do with the multiplayer primarily because I share your belief that SP will be some melodramatic blockbuster. :D

    Black Ops did actually include both Vietnam and alternate history in the same game if I remember correctly.

  • Overwatch

    Really love the implementation and theming of this event! The coop needs to be expanded in the future (and with a tad more replayability)!

    It's weird how Overwatch came out of nowhere and just gave us a bunch of cool characters to care about.

  • Dishonored II

I didn't really enjoy this with a controller (even though the game is great) so I haven't finished the PS4 version. There haven't been any new patches so I suppose I'll never finish it which is such a shame :(

    There was an update recently but the performance wasn't bumped enough unfortunately.

  • Dishonored II

    Bought this during the sale, I must admit I waited a bit for patches and updates to fix some of the issues. I'm a huge Dishonored fan so I've been dying to play it.

    I am currently just an hour in or so and it feels really cool, however I am very disappointed with the performance. I play on medium and these settings make the environments look very flat and even then I feel my framerate is very choppy. :( I've got a Geforce 780 that can handle the likes of Battlefield 1 and Doom with ease.

  • [CS:GO] DE_Breach - Released!

    Hi all!

    As you all know, Valve overhauled the CS game mode (hostage rescue) to try and make it more competitively viable, which was really cool to see. This has inspired me and Yanzl and after a lot of back and forth we have finally decided to make this version of the level into an Escape level instead, changing some rules and tweaking the game mode to make it more viable. We feel that the DE_ map pool is saturated enough already and that players would enjoy this new direction way more.

    The story will be that terrorists have just finished tampering with, sabotaging or otherwise stealing info from the server room (where they spawn) and need to escape in one of three locations. This gives the map a fresh take as the layout is effectively rotated 90 degrees, creating new choke points and combat areas. We will be playtesting this shortly, stay tuned!

    I also have a question, Can you provide a download link to one of the first versions of de_agency? it doesn't matter if it looks bad or cringey, I would just absolutely love to walk and look around in it

    Sure thing! I think this is the first version we playtested:

    Lemme know if it works. :)

  • Middle-earth: Shadow of War

    I watched the video and wondered what the fuck was going on. It seemed to be ooooverly scripted to be honest. :P Random followers show up and do random shit and everyone dies left and right. Like, the player character was in trouble when fighting a champion or whatever and the champion just gets sniped. woot? :D

    I hope it's good but who knows, maybe they took a brilliant piece of game design like the nemesis system and turned it into a michael bay movie. We'll see I guess.

  • Dark Souls 3

    Bump!

    I've been thinking about picking up one Dark Souls game. I'm wondering which one you guys would recommend? For a newcomer that is. I imagine later entries have lots of quality of life improvements but who knows if one of the earlier ones is just better in different ways?
