Wow, hang on to that game. It's practically impossible to find anymore.

I keep hoping that it'll get re-released on PS4 the way a lot of other PS2 titles have been.

No kidding, I got the original, the sequel AND the third one. That's the Anime version where the Sub comes in... and Rocket Rubber Duckies on a BattleCarrier with the Cat Laserbeam Cannon! ( When it fires you hear the cat scream like on halloween. )

TT

The Rubber Ducky aircraft line was ridiculous. And crazy powerful.

SO glad i kept all three of mine. I think i like Naval Ops: Commander the most.

Just went and outfitted an older WW2 aircraft carrier with those damnable Rubber Duckies in a game last night! Went against that Sink 3 BB's scenario and all those escorts... funny! I also love that large superstructure fight!

I have got back to ARK: Survival Evolved with my newest and most badass computer. Still a cool game because dinosaurs are cool. Also with GTX 1080 Ti and 16 GB of RAM: what a wonderful world 8)

Finally picked up Destiny 2 for the PC.

In case anybody cares, Steam has Chrono Trigger for half the price. Also says the PC version now has original graphics available. Can anyone in here comment about its game play and bugs?

ColBosch · « **Reply #1027 on:** 22 August 2018, 14:52:18 »

It's a very straight-forward early JRPG. There's not really much to say about the gameplay, and I can't recall any bugs. I far prefer it to any Final Fantasy.

Bedwyr · « **Reply #1028 on:** 22 August 2018, 16:06:26 »

The game shines in a few ways:

1) the story is fairly bright, straightforward, and exciting in a "Scooby gang goes back in time" kind of way.

2) It was one of the first JRPGs to introduce multiple dependent endings.

3) The music and art direction are iconic and beloved.

4) The fight system was likewise loved for the touches of positioning (mostly things like area of effect in spells) and the fact that they let you see what was coming up, except for surprises jumping out of bushes, rather than do the standard interruption common to Final Fantasy.

Are you and Bedwyr talking about Steam version of the game? I have read it is (or used to be) modified version of iOS version with some differences to original console game and additional bugs.

The game generally.

I read that Square improved the Steam version: https://kotaku.com/now-if-only-square-would-treat-final-fantasy-vi-on-pc-l-1828495016

I'm currently playing the new Spider-Man game on PS4.

It's fun, but I feel like the dodge ability isn't powerful enough. It'll get you away from a regular punk with a crowbar or a pistol, but during boss fights I take far too many hits (and Spider-Man cannot take hits).

Started playing Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age. I've always been a fan of this series, and so far, I'm really enjoying this one as well.

Does anyone in here play Kingdom Come: Deliverance? I'm on the fence, but I'd like to know game's current status. Does it have crossbows yet, and is there any major bugs left?

Compile Hearts and Shanghai Manjuu announced a collaboration to make an Azur Lane themed shipgirl 3D shooter for the PS4.
This could be an interesting diversion.

It could also be terrible... but eh. I'll take that risk.

This goes little off topic, but I'm too lazy to open new topic. Should I? Anyway in another forum is complained about early access games and was posted a link to YouTube video where is complained about early access games. So I actually made some research.

Yesterday (13.9.18) is listed 50 new releases on Steam. Yeah, I counted them:
Available now (NOT early access): 36
Early access: 6
Coming soon: 8

Are there too many games in early access?

Has been complained about DLC and games that are incomplete without DLC. Youth these days... In my youth we had to go all the way to town and buy DLC from computer store on CD or floppy disk! And I have bought new games which have more content than most older games of respective genre. I tell you, Project Cars 2 from last year without any DLC has much more content than Outrun, Test Drive 2, or any game in Lotus series. Doesn't have a track editor, so it loses to Stunts in that department.

Sorry about this rant. But seeing all the complaints about those subjects, micro transactions, and loot boxes is just... :ugly_stupid:

Look up & play another game? Steam alone gets tens new games daily.

Yeah, but most of them are bad enough that they wouldn't be a deal if the developers paid you to play them.

Man, it sucks that Insurgency Sandstorm's campaign got delayed, possibly indefinetly.

The game itself plays like a dream already, but I wish that the Insurgents and Security had more/better options for clothes. The only non-neon color it seems the Insurgents can wear is dark gray and khaki (And they can't wear helmets), and the lack of solid-color coats/undershirt/face mask options kind of drags the Security customization down a lot. Given the whole 'pseudo-realism tactical stuff' they go with, some overlap would probably help.

In that case I have some recommendations. Since Darth Nicholas has played a JRPGame, I totally recommend Trails in the Sky & sequels (Trails of Cold Steel). Best JRPG I have played.

Of the other RPGs, Kingdom Come: Deliverance has got praise (and controversy) for its historical accuracy. I have been told many bugs have been fixed by now. I'm still on the fence, because I have enough unfinished games, some of which I haven't even installed yet.

ARK: Survival Evolved is RPG about survival in deserted island inhabited by dinosaurs. Game can be played solo, but it is best online with bunch of other players. More the merrier. Totally hooked in this - again.

Just change server then. I haven't really seen any on the server I'm playing now. Let me check... EU-PVE-Official-TheIsland45. Decent people most of them. One was generous enough to hand me over a tyrannosaur rex because he had too many of them. One from Sweden had messed up with tribe settings and apologized for it. Decent folk over here.

[edit]
And it isn't like other multiplayer games (like MekWars) wouldn't have trolls and the like. As one MegaMek/MekWars player sums it up (from my failing memory):

Currently playing BattleTech (comp not TT) campaign and on a side I occasionaly play FTL and DRL, I decided to do a DRL challenge (after BT mission crashed right as I was finishing the last mech). So I did Angel of 100 challenge combining it with Angel of Max Carnage challenge to make it easier. It was grueling but I made it, finding Enviroboots on level 27 was a lifesaver.

I want to shoot some stuff. Recommend me good FPS for an outdated PC that runs Crysis.

[edit]
Never mind, I already found one on my own: Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault

[edit2]
Or not. I read reviews before paying I this hit my eye:

I got this along with MOH:AA Warchest and having been wowed by it's predecessor, this turn out to be a very disappointing experience.

So any good shooters that won't be disappointing?

iamfanboy · « **Reply #1049 on:** 15 October 2018, 16:19:28 »

You could always replay Doom 1 & 2 on gog.com; for some reason I still find them entertaining two decades later. Maybe it's the music.

Most FPS games are just different skins slapped on top of the same engine. So it all depends on what kind of skin you want slapped on top of it: shooting at Nazis? Zombies? Space zombies? Nazi zombies? Space Nazi zombies?

Or if you want a different FPS game, have you played the Dishonoured series? I'm finally about to get started on the second one, and I really liked the first. It's not really a shooter as such, more a stealth FPS. One of the aspects that I like is that based on your actions (how many people you kill, how gruesome of a revenge you take) the game actually gets HARDER, with more plague victims wandering about, more alert guards, and swarms of rats that can mulch your legs - and a reasonably different ending for each of the choices: Kill some, kill none, or kill 'em all. Lots of routes through the levels, which makes it rewarding to replay the game.

I got paid a PS4 and Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 "Final Mix XXL Grande Edition With All The Fixins", but after just one trip through KH1 I'm a little burnt out on KH games. It's kinda funny how they added voice acting for Chain of Memories, which takes place between 1 and 2, but Haley Joe Osment's balls dropped in the intervening ten years so it's a major disconnect going from 1 to CoM. Plus, CoM's mechanics SUUUCKED HARD. Just so hard.

But I stand by my assertion that if you changed every instance of the word "heart" with the word "soul" you get a much better dialogue experience in KH.

While I was banned I also played through South Park: Fractured But Whole, and it is WORTH IT if you're a South Park fan. Just freaking hilarious in all aspects. Especially how the kids are mostly concerned about how much money their competing superhero franchises are going to make, because of course that's the most important thing. Timmy as a Professor X psychic was what killed me the most.
