Bay 12 Games Forum

Pot, Kettle, Black.

Well if anyone needs a pig-farmer, PM me and I'll see if I can't work up the willpower for it.

None I am aware of. My own little psuedo-settlement sort of collapsed after the loss of all our cattle.

What bloody good is a sniper rifle in all that fog?

FU. Seriously.

Just mentioning things that sell, sadly enough.
Also: Temper, I was clearly joking.

Same. FU = funny unit. I always thought that spesh mehrines are a funny type of unit.

Oh I mistook your acronym for the more commonly used shorthand for "F*** You". My mistake.

I may get lynched for this.... but I think it looks rather intersting... is it the sequel everyone was clamouring for? No. But if you take it as it's own game, it looks kinda cool.

That depends on whether or not you find linear corridor shooters fun. I don't. I found Modern Warfare to be the most boring thing ever.

And while they did allow at least the minimum of back-tracking in their last game (Bioshock 2), the trailers kinda suggest something more like COD, where you're just put in some disconnected combat scenarios with a bunch of AI goons and watch a bunch of cutscenes. But I dunno, might be wrong.

Although why they desperately wanted to make it an "XCOM" game is baffling. Most X-Com fans ain't looking for an FPS and this game doesn't even reuse any of the concepts from X-Com. Not even the freaking history, they break that right off the bat by putting it in the 50s because Fallout 3 and Bioshock were popular or something. Either way, they could've just called it UFOShock or UFO: Back to the Future Warfare and saved some money.

XenoShock: Alien Defensenstrator.

Enter FBI Agent Dick HardAce, a hardboiled cop to the bone, but one botched booze-bust too many puts him on a time-out, handling missing person cases for the bureaou. What would be a simple questioning leaves Dick with more questions than answers, and one less car. (And one smoking crater where a sickeningly Utopian 50ies style urbanity once sat)

As HardAce struggle to untangle the webs of deceit and cover-up, dodging bullets too alien to comprehend he realise he is now embroiled in something much bigger than the bureou, much bigger than the US of A. Hell. As the non-eucledian geometry start disintegrating the landscape, maybe this case is just a little too big for reality itself.

Good thing he brought his gun. Otherwise he'd been in over his head.

Edit: Name did not test well with the manly crowd. Prefixed it with Hard for emphasis.

Thou speaketh nonsense, good sir. - It is clear to those of a inquisitive mind that the server is in fact 'full'...

This doesn't help either. Sorry.

That argument starts up in /zone chat all the time.  All MMOs have essentially the same gameplay, barring games like EVE online, so I don't see why being similar to a popular MMO is a deal-breaking flaw.

EvE does not feature unique gameplay afaik, you grind mobs, you sell trash-loot, you grind for rep with NPCs, you run instances and you PvP. And you all take turns hitting eachother until one of you falls over. edit: The only difference is that you are doing so with rail guns and missiles rather than axes and arrows but that's just graphics. - The unique feature would be the unregulated player economy but its not the only game to have that.

Now, PLANETSIDE had different gameplay, but no economy whatsoever, and no updates either, so is more or less dead in the water. If only they'd implemented hats...

Allods looks nice, but I wouldn't know, WoWs pointless tedium (followed by EvEs even more tedious grind) has kind of burnt me on all and any MMOs so I really don't have anything of note or validity to say...

Teeheehee, lookitthem little gibberlings~<3

Like the Rouge MediBot Army incident...

I am chuckeling just thinking about it.

Please Cajoes, elaberate.

It was a road paved with good intentions, the Captain, in his infinite glory, used a majority of the Station's resources (And it was the turtle-station design at the time) to create a small personal army of medical assistance droids, to cover any medical emergency.

Naturally, the traitor used his Syndicate Licence (cryptograph) card to subtly alter the crude AIs into administering lethal shots rather than medications (difference being in dosage, I imagine).

He then spilled some plasma on all decks, not much, but sufficent for a majority of the station to contract toxin related injuries, which triggered the Rogue army's sensors and intense desire to 'help'.

After two or three casualties, the rest of the station personell barricaded themselves within the medical and research wings trying to think of a plan to bypass the horde or well intentioned but murderous robots in the hallway outside. Slowly chipping through them with hit and run attacks. Leaving the traitor free to finish his objectives and call for the evacuation shuttle.

There was a lot of anger that evening.
