I only signed up to play hl2 I think before that I used keys and CDs for things like ground zero

jcit878,

I remember a work friend burnt HL2 on cd for me and the only way to make it work was he also gave me his steam login. and the dude had a ripper username I still remember to this day, even though I havnt seen him in nearly 20 years.

technologicalcaveman, do gaming w Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 Revive Age-Old RPG Debate About Encumbrance - IGN

I don't mind encumbrance, unless it's painfully low. Stalker is a bit annoying with it, though it makes sense. Then when it's so high it becomes a non issue is also annoying because eventually I hit the cap. The one in bg3 is fine with me. I tend to choose my companions to carry specific items, so it's evenly spread out. Then I take breaks to go sell off my junk, usually every few in game days. I think I gave only hit cap once, I gave Karlach all the weapons I find and she was overloaded. I don't mind encumbrance most of the time.

Andjhostet,

Actually I think I'm the opposite. I hate encumbrance more when it's massive. When I played survival mode in Fallout NV, I found it so much more fun to only pick up essential items. I would commonly pick up water bottles and food instead of valuable weapons or ammo. I was usually way under my low encumbrance because I had a mindset switch to only pick up stuff that will allow me to survive the desert.

I wonder how it will differ from just being Hitman in a tuxedo? Will it follow the games of years gone by and feature driving sections? 😁

Squizzy,

Gadgets man, I am picturing zipwire scene, paragliding, hopefully non quick time event action. The gadgets in Hitman were great for their role but there is a fantastical element to be pushed for 007

I had Nightfire, I think it was called, for my GameCube. My favourite level was driving the Aston Martin Vanquish through the small towns in the Alps.

Nightfire was ludicrous.

As a kid, my neighbors and I would give everyone the Q claw, which is functionally a near infinite range, attaches to almost any surface, grapple hook.

If you hold the button, you can remain suspended/attached… basically where ever.

So, we would go with … i forget the name, but some twiglight setting, older european town style map…

… and we would just all be zipping around like goddamn spiderman, because you can move so much faster with the q claw than by running…

… that, or camping in some absurd nook of the map, sniping people from a location that takes 45 seconds of insane platforming to get to.

Nightfire had a goofy as fuck main story mode, but the multiplayer was underrated, may even count as ‘hidden gem’ status, imo.

Close! That was Agent Under Fire, not Nightfire. It’s one of my favorite multiplayer shooters, specifically with nonsense like the Q Claw, Q Jet, and moon gravity turned on. Nightfire really pared back on the stuff that made Agent Under Fire ridiculous, and it was good for different reasons.

sp3ctr4l,

Ah crap, got my GC 007’s mixed up!

I am glad Im not the only one that enjoyed the absolute lunacy enabled by some of AoF’s gamemodes, lol.

i would like to see social spy craft stuff too. Dynamic dialog, interrogation, casino games, seducing NPcs etc

gwheel,

I’m expecting the biggest difference to be a removal or de emphasizing of the disguise system. Disguises are a core hitman mechanic but Bond very rarely uses them. (unless I’m forgetting stuff, and I haven’t seen all of the movies) I’m not sure what would fill the gameplay void left by them, vehicles could do it if handled well.

Squizzy,

Expand out the detective element, eavesdropping, tailing, building evidence. There are seeds to some of this in Hitmam but it would make sense in 007.

mctoasterson, do games w Warhammer 40,000 Maker Games Workshop Is Doing So Well It’s Giving $27 Million to Its Staff

I dunno if there is a subculture of printing the models at home. I would think resin printers would have more than enough resolution to make good miniatures. Is that frowned upon? There is no reason to buy overpriced licensed shit.

domdanial,

Oh there is absolutely a group that prints their own, and before that there were re-molds that were made based on the real ones.

From what I understand, (friends play) they aren’t allowed in “official” sponsored matches, so if you really want to compete big you have to have real armies. But also they have printed one of those $800 models because most people don’t have the cash to throw at stuff like that.

So I’m sure there are some diehard people that only think official models should be used but it doesn’t seem common.

UniversalBasicJustice,

Can confirm, buddy with a resin printer is slowly hooking me up with an Adeptus Mechanicus army and he prints shit for his friends too. Recasts are likely in-between price-wise but pretty solid quality.

If they still like the series past the second, then its lack of taste tax.

prole,

The writing is so cringe that even thinking about it is annoying me and I haven’t played a BL game in over a decade

Lol. I wasn’t going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I’m not paying for gearbox games ever again.

It’s pretty wild that this game is still in development, I remember reading about it back in 2012/13 ish.

Ashtear,

Yeah, goes back a ways! I feel like it has a knack for resurfacing after I’ve completely forgotten about it. I like what I’m seeing here with the gameplay.

Wait. Loot boxes are back?

RejZoR,

They are back just as a reward for playing and can’t be bought in any way.

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

Even better.

RejZoR,

It just sucks you can only earn 3 lootboxes a week. It used to be 13 every week for 1 month and now that event ended.

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

FFS. Literally no free fun allowed. Bare minimum to appease players.

RejZoR,

You used to get lootboxes just for playing, progressing hero, having good endorsement, none of that came back. Or the grindy 10 levels past battlepass that only give you useless name tag, not a single lootbox and it’s more grindy than entire battlepass.

Hyphlosion, do games w The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include the DLC

We’re only paying a measly $70 for the Switch 2 version. Just get a third job and be grateful for the opportunity to purchase the DLC at $20. Then you can use the last of your hundred dollar bill for that one tech demo game!

melfie, (edited ) do games w The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include the DLC

I’ve been a huge Zelda fan since I was a kid, but I played BotW in 2016 and found it playable, but way overrated. Not a 10/10 masterpiece, more like 8/10. I have yet to even bother with TotK. I am also a huge Metroid fan, but Prime 4 seems like just more of the same.

After playing both KCD and KCD2, for example, Zelda games just seem lacking in depth in comparison. I don’t know, maybe Nintendo is past their prime—either that, or I’ve just played too many of their games and am bored of them now.

The fact that they seem to be screwing the pooch with their latest console maybe means they’ll stop being arrogant and lower their prices, but I’ll be emulating their games only from now on anyway.

cyberpunk007, do games w The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include the DLC

Ya not sure if I’ll ever get a switch 2. I played the living shit out of my switch 1. Easily was my favourite console… Until I got a steam deck. Instantly I have over 1,000 games purchased already and a hefty percentage of them playable.

…not to mention the switch games that are still sitting on my shelf that I just play on here instead.

cholesterol, do games w Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5

I’m sure I’ll move on at some point, but I’m currently running maybe 30 mods on civ 6, and they are mostly QoL. Parts of both gameplay and UI are just poorly thought out even to this day. So I was expecting the new game to be released in a state I’d dislike. It might take longer to improve than I thought, though.
