Video Game Chat Thread - Pre-Alpha Experimental Version

You got to trial and error Blood Money.

Yeah, it's one of those games where you always discover something new. Just wandering around levels and looking for button prompts or stuff to poison. Contracts is good for that, as well.

If all else fails, you can mow down everybody, so there's no need for a FAQ. The redneck wedding is actually less fun if you do it steathily. Try playing it with "Unchained" cranked up to full blast.

Finished Sonichu and playtesting. Both of them work absolutely fine and playing with then has been an absolute blast.

Is there any way you could be bothered making a set of lolcows and uploading the templates?

Possibly. I'm currently making a mod for Magi-chan Sonichu as a test to see if I can pull it off. It'll be a while before I can say for certain if I can make a proper lolcow-themed mod.

As for custom playable lolcows I can definitely whip up some designs when I've got a moment or two!

I’m kind of surprised they never made a sequel to NBA Hangtime. That game and NBA on NBC Showtime was the only time where I can say that there was something good that wasn’t just named NBA JAM.

Is the ps2 slim any good was trying to find the fat model but no luck (fat model that I had broke ) really don't want to buy it due to the issues it has but it's either the slim or 300$ ps2 fats that are badly damaged atleast will replace the coolant with a better one that doesn't make my ps2 feel like fire and also what was that game mode on one of the nba games that had power ups and looked Futuristic

I was browsing youtube when I saw this video. It's a play through without any commentary of an indie game that appears to be coming out soon.
"Agony of a dying MMO" is about the player base of a dying MMO. A great deal of the fake player characters are (poorly) voiced. The in game MMO looks like a weird marsh up of WW2 Online, Everquest and, second life.
As the video went on the voice acted characters went on about how he transitioned and how his parents gas lit him. Another character complains about how playable nazis made the community toxic for some reason.
At the very end the player character ends up at a poorly rendered military base with helicopters.
There are giant signs with hard to read text there as well...



The dialogue from the characters gets much more cringe worthy
"This is an end game raid, so we don't know what to expect" (The game is about to go down permanently and you haven't done this before?)
"So Nazis let's make these final hours ones to remember"
"Murder the lolcows"
"I live to terrorize lolcows"
"Does anyone else follow Elon Musk on Twitter? He's so cool"

I have it time stamped at the last segment but, the entire thing is really awful.

That's level is probably the most fun to run and gun. Dual silverballers and the tactical shotgun! I think the first time I played through it I just waited in the attic with a sniper rifle until I could see both targets. Yeah kind of boring.

 

[Coelacanth]

Okay the guide I was using to mod DR2C ended up being outdated and there doesn't seem to be a better one out there because a ton of complex shit has been added to the special character codes. So it looks like a lolcow mod is a no-go for now.

However that does not stop me from adding in custom playable characters (and it's actually possible to recruit your custom characters in the game so there's that). Anybody wanna nominate some lolcows they'd like to feed to zombies play as?

Every Hitman game has a set of clothes or sniper's nest which turns out to be a trap. The AI will always detect shots from the attic. However, I can still snipe the groom and then flee down one of the trapdoors and leave.

If you want SA rank, you usually need to get up close and personal. But I love to snipe whenever I can.

I eventually got silent assassin on that one. I think I remember it involving alligators and cake. Probably the easiest to sa in blood money is the casino when you figure out target patterns. I got to replay this in the near future.

It's not difficult on the whole, particulary when compared to 2 and Contracts. Both had hellish early levels.

It's a stealth game with a ranking system: it's as hard as you want it to be. For comparison, Snake Eater is piss-easy, apart from the bosses. I basically had to go shirtless in each area (apart from the labs) for it to pose a challenge. Single Action Army run is another good one. Popping Ocelot Units from a cliff and then twirling the gun afterwards.

Remember when video games were actually good?

I sound like a boomer but ninety percent of anything is crap.

The sixth generation was an anomaly which spoiled us in some ways.

ON MY WAY TO PURGE.

This Sunherald Commando is pretty fun so far. Need to develop a better rhythm for spamming charge attacks and Forcewave. If I can funnel enemies through corridors it just murders them.

 

[LightDragonman1]

Just beat Hitman Blood Money.

Gotta say, I can see why it is so well liked. While it heavily relies on trial and error, it is oh so satisfying once you finally manage to pull everything off in regards to taking out the targets. It's probably now my fourth favorite stealth game, behind Splinter Cell Chaos Theory at third, Thief II at second, and Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 tied for first.

Any other stealth titles I should now give a whirl?

Sadly, it's a niche market. There aren't a lot of dedicated stealth games. (As opposed to GTA clones with some shitty stealth levels added.)

I hear good things about Manhunt, but it's pretty old.

 

[bigoogabaloogas]

not sure if anybody knows this game, but dlc3 for black souls 2 came out

 

[LightDragonman1]

Still on my stealth game spree, so I am currently going through Mark Of The Ninja (Remastered Version to be precise).

Gotta say, if it keeps up its current level of quality, this could easily rank as my fifth favorite in the genre. And it's a 2D stealth game at that too. I never expected it to be this good.

 

[Captain Syrup]

Let me plug this youtuber. I don't go for shooters, but his Doom series is pretty interesting.
