Only played a lil bit of trepang2 felt like a janky source mod. I might get back to it.

Just cruising around in new forza at the moment. Its alright apart from the hideously ugly characters and the dialogue feels ai and wooden. Cars and scenery arr cool though.

When you bear in mind FEAR inspirations end at the slow motion and shotgun and everything else is rather inspired by 2020s SCP and the new CoD:MW series you start to get how things are the way they are.
the first three hours of the game are FEAR put through a william S burroughs newspaper cut-up where they've rearranged the order of events to make a new story but like the same fucking shit happens. the levels are mostly offices and buildings under construction, the weapons feel the exact fucking same. You're literally the same fucking guy with the same powers and the same origin story. The game uses helicopter cutscenes in the same nonsensical and narratively pointless way that FEAR does too, like they just played the game once and copied what they remembered

but you're right that it's more of a bad SCP knockoff because it has that weird grandiosity and quick chungus epic badassery that you expect from gay kids whose dads were in the military
 
My problems with Trepang2 are many but I think I can generalize them with a single example.

Someone played FEAR and wanted to make his own version of the replicant squad callouts.
"Uh FUCKING sir FUCKING 106 has FUCKING fucked us up" "WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK FUCK DO YOU MEAN HE FUCKING FUCKED YOU GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE AND FUCKING KILL THAT FUCKER, YOU FUCKING HEAR THAT 106 YOU FUCKER I'M FUCKING COMING TO FUCKING GET YOU FUCK" was his implementation.
You apply this setup to "Someone played FEAR and wanted to make his own version of the [thing] and [thing but I CAN MAKE IT COOLER LIKE ULTRAKILL AND TURBO OVERKILL" and that's more or less all of my problems with T2 listed out.
One of the main characters is voiced by tranny-lover and testicle-euthanized Gianni Matragrano. That's all you need to know about the game.
 
The Gothic remake despite being a single player RPG is unplayable offline for some reason. Probably DRM related.

I can't believe it took me so long to play Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. What a fun fucking game. There's also a parody of it that came out called The Adventures of Sir Kicksalot and that's hilarious and fun too.
There's another game inspired by it called shady knight, base combat mechanics but more of a fast paced arcadey score attack style game like neon white.
 
just got my 1440p 240hz monitor hooked up a few days ago and have been playing a variety of games on it and this is how I feel playing FPS games, especially multiplayer titles:


You have no excuse, monitors are the one thing getting cheaper about PC gaming.
 
Atomic Heart was the first game I had to play on Easy not because I suck (though I do), but because of the slow down. Things slow down to a crawl for a moment while enemies keep moving in another dimension unhampered by stutter, firing at you freely. It's a testament to how interesting the game is that a man of little patience is willing to endure the jank.

If you're on PC there's a mod on the Nexus that disables the infinity respawning enemies and it's actually crazy how much it improves the experience.

You can actually clear zones and then explore for materials/blueprints/secrets.

It's almost a whole new game and probably the one they should have made from the start.
