Bay 12 Games Forum

MHFU (hundreds of hours logged).

Yeah, Pandar. You only put participating in Mafia off because of that game about a dozen times.

Looks good, especially for a free game! However, judging from the videos, there doesn't appear to be a large variety of aliens. They seem to be trying to make up for this by adding a whole bunch of weapons. =P

Judging by the minimum requirements on its Steam page, I'll be playing with close to the bare minimum! I really need a new comp. At least a new graphics card. System requirements for easy viewing:

Minimum:
OS: Windows® 7 / Vista / Vista64 / XP
Processor: Pentium 4 3.0GHz
Memory: 1 GB for XP / 2GB for Vista
Graphics: DirectX 9 compatible video card with 128 MB, Shader model 2.0. ATI X800, NVidia 6600 or better
Hard Drive: At least 2.5 GB of free space
Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card

Recommended:
OS: Windows® 7 / Vista / Vista64 / XP
Processor: Intel core 2 duo 2.4GHz
Memory: 1 GB for XP / 2GB for Vista
Graphics: DirectX 9 compatible video card with Shader model 3.0. NVidia 7600, ATI X1600 or better
Hard Drive: At least 2.5 GB of free space
Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card

[PPE:] I wouldn't say it's fun yet, Soulwynd. We haven't even played it. And I enjoy L4D.

Also. Possibly main difference between this and L4D: this is 3rd person top-view. This is also class-based, so like a mix of TF2 and L4D and some open source top-down display game. Judging by the videos, the music doesn't sound as impressive as the music from the L4D games, which was very atmospheric. But then again, I didn't hear any music in the gameplay video, just guns and what I assume are the aliens' death cries. I really hope it's not like that in-game.

Similarities I can see so far between this and L4D:
4 player co-op
Shooting hordes of enemies
Choice of weaponry, though this has a lot more (not necessarily a good thing; if not done right, they can make the game feel cluttered)

Differences:
Top-down instead of 1st person
Aliens, not zombies
Class-based
No announced other modes other than Campaign-style; especially no Versus
Possibly no in-game music

[PPE2:] Damn you, Hugehead! Beat me to it.

The point would be to allow the colossus to move farther up the rankings in this contest. Jesus has no need for such glory, and it would make the giant killing machine happy to have a chance to kill more things. Since Jesus is not selfish and not really harmed by death, he must allow it to defeat him.

You have a point.

Bronze Colossus

Shouldn't this be in forum games?

Not really.

And I agree, as it involves a lot of discussing of these characters in general.

Steam tells me server is shutting down if theres no donations... that would suck. I'd donate but I'm a jobless bum.

If it does go down we should give it a proper send-off.

Actually I think Nilocy said we made the money.

Yeah, I just checked the server donation page. We have $35.

actual Jesus, who was easily crucified and then killed

But that was because he allowed himself to be crucified! And that was because there was some kind of point behind it that I don't really understand. What point would there be for Jesus to let himself be killed by the Bronze Colossus? None that I can see.

Jesus!

Zai is very very good!

Heh, not really. While it's possible (though not probable) I'm better than the average TF2 player, I'm not nearly on a competitive level.

You should get on the server more often. Everybody should.

Also Chaos Seed, despite it being in moonspeak. Fan translation's close-ish to being finished, though!

Oh shit, really?! I never got anywhere in CS and I didn't understand a lot of what I was doing, but I loved that game.

Other games I love include:
Audiosurf: No other music game has kept my attention for long, but this one keeps me coming back to it. It's great, and it doesn't have a set track list (and you don't have to pay for new songs  ).
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War: Definitely one of my favorite games that I've played, and tied for my favorite in the FE series; my favorite SNES FE. It's a class-based TBS where you promote your units, and one that has you influence the characters of the second half of the game by how you play the first in a way that isn't contrived. Only released in Japan but it does have fan translation patches.
Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn (officially FE: Radiant Dawn): While I despise the official English title, this is tied for my favorite in the FE series. I love that they finally brought in third tier classes, something the fans have been using for a long time. While the Beast characters are for the most part useless (something carried over from the game prior to this one). I definitely wouldn't mind if there was a sequel to this sequel, as long as the story wasn't too contrived.
Mount & Blade: Only game I've ever played that's like it is it. It's really great.
Portal: It really is a no-brainer that this is one of the best games I've ever played. Though it is on the short side, it definitely doesn't overdo it's welcome, and I'm hoping the upcoming Portal 2 won't either.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Not quite 4X but something somehow similar. And it's based on an old Chinese novel based on history (which I still need to get)! The RoTK series has had me hooked for about 2 years now. I play 6 on my PSP when I'm away and will play VIII when I'm home.
Sword of the Stars: My favorite 4X game, a genre I only recently delved into. Its backstory is excellent and it provides a good story-making game. I am greatly anticipating SotS2, which should come early next year. I just hope they keep the mechanics the expansions brought that made the first game great.
Team Fortress 2: I've put more time into that game than any other game in my life.
World of Goo: While it doesn't have too much in the way of replayabality, it's a great indie game that actually provides a decent satire.

Whenever it is, I'd like to see some sort of announcement made on the Bay12 steam group.

That's what we were talking about. =P

(Just make sure to plan them in advance - I tend to ignore those "Hey guiz git in here nao!" announcements from the Community group.  )

I try to avoid those when I'm making the announcements. But I can't stop those other people!

We'll just have a regular L4D2 (Mutation) Night. Like we (used to) have TF2 Sunday. We could also alternate between L4D and L4D2 if people want to, but people will have to tell me in advance so I can change the events.

[EDIT:]

What mode is that in? The Blog post doesn't say. Is it Versus? I really hope it is.

I was hoping so too, but I dunno. I haven't opened L4D2 yet.
