I genuinely hope the folks (or maybe person? it seriously might be a one man band show going off their profile pic) who made this game do this with other popular titles from the time. They have literally nothing in their about section on Steam and it's the only game they have released but I think this design recipe would work for other titles too. They clearly got good feedback/reception from gamers on their first outing so here's to hoping they do more! I agree the sarcasm and jokes are great! The first and last time I really spent more time laughing while playing a game was the two newest South Park games which were like giant interactive episodes. Gameplay in UnMetal is good so far too. Die a few times here and there but nothing that gets me overly frustrated....yet at least lol. I also see there are multiple difficulty levels so depending on how the first play through goes there is the potential to up the challenge on subsequent play throughs. I'm pretty pumped about this game. :D my only regret is not finding it earlier. too bad I never saw your post you made about it, I would have picked it up back then!

The same dev released UnEpic first. Same idea, but with an RPG as the inspiration.

UnEpic on Steam

Daniel was just an average guy. He was a great videogame player, a big fan of sci-fi movies, and a novice RPG player. In the midst of an RPG, he was teleported to a castle. At first, Daniel believed that he was having a massive hallucination.

@skizzo Totally agree. Ha Ha, loved the South Park games too. Total chillfest....enjoyable like games should be tbh.
 
I recently played the Campaign for Iron Harvest and totally enjoyed it. If you are a fan of RTS it is pretty good.

That one is also on GOG, and only $10 instead of $13.

It's a sidescroller Metroidvania type. Looks like a winner too!

Didn't you manage a 5:40? Also, I play with a controller, which makes it way easier, imo.

You're right, Steam doesn't have cloud saves for Hot Pursuit. But games typically write their saves in the Documents folder and I have that backed up on OneDrive. So in a way, I have my very own cloud saves.

I'm still at 5.44 after 16 attempts on the original NFS HP and still trying to get below 5.10, but those cops...

I have two faces for each gender in FO4, and each time I make a new character, I try to improve it a little. I feel like the female one has come a long way. There are mods to make it better in terms of actual customizing features, but I have a lot of updating to do on my setup before those get priority. A lot of the adjustments don't do much and the skeletons/head meshes themselves are weird. I did at least find a mod that offers a head mesh with a more normal balance and placement of features for a woman. And the one that increases the polygon count to cut down on weird jaggies and awkward lighting bounce that contributed a lot to making the faces look unnatural a good half of the time. I'm pretty proud of the fact that this started as the stock Nora, and now she actually looks somewhat like a main character, though maybe not entirely of Fallout's world - unattractive faces are like a law of the universe... I guess it's just easier to make them consistently ugly. It's just not a proper Fallout experience if your character doesn't look like randomly-generated ass-scrapple.

I promise you, I have tried my ass off to not pretty her up too much. Fan service is fun and all but some of that shit is downright undignified lmao... the mod scene for this stuff is... heavily seasoned and lets just say it is a precarious place to wander. Don't step on the tissues you see on the floor! And if you do, DO NOT touch the tissue with your bare hand! They are not for the complimentary lotion. And that lotion isn't for normal moisture - this isn't a skin health convention. I don't care if the signs say otherwise, or that bodyslide has a non-nude option. :rolleyes:

The one thing I really wish for in modding characters in these games is better-fitting hair. The mod hair packs out there are generally a major quality step-up, but tend to come from other games where characters are often totally clean-looking, so they tend to be too clean when you take them into a game where most of the environments heavily feature decay as an aesthetic feature, and even clothes are often repurposed from other items. Probably not having perfect eyeliner in a game like this either, but I can somewhat accept that as a plausible concession, given that female faces in this game easily lean very androgynous without it. There's just not enough left there to say it's a girl-face at enough angles. So you use those sorts of tricks, and maybe you get lucky and wind up with something that at least looks like a well-done mannequin.

I really love FO4 but i am done with it for now, having a break from it.

I keep forgetting that I have Game Pass and just realised that Sniper Elite 5 is on it so I'm downloading it now. SE 4 was pretty good and I know the story is pretty generic, but so what?
Game Pass is still very good value considering how much a good AAA game costs today, what with State of Decay 2, Rage 2 an others being on there.

lmao it's so true. I actually used to wait for the reward at this vault too, I only played the expansion for two months though, haven't played since, but at that time I had nothing else going for me in life really besides my part time job which at that particular time, didn't allocate much of my time. so yeah those comments ring true very much for me... I've had no urge to go back to WoW though, FFXIV is the best. I haven't played that in a few months either though, so eh.
 
Cool game, Sniper Elite 5. Loads in seconds, looks great, excellent graphics and performance and does exactly what I expect in terms of gameplay.
Fun Nazi bashing :)

I have phases where I go hard for it and then the rest of the time I kind of want nothing to do with it. It's very compartmentalized. It's where I go when I feel like I don't like video games anymore. Good for flipping reference points. I appreciate FO4 for different reasons than I do pretty much any other game, which makes it a really situational, but valuable play. It just has a way of pulling my mind out of the expectation clutter built up from other game experiences. And then other game experiences pull me out of the clutter of Fallout 4. It just occupies a distinct place in my mind, I guess. Playing it is like a long reset. By the time I'm tired of it, I start getting interested in new games again.

Double post....

Ever since I gave Piper the glasses, I fear she has slowly started becoming... someone I don't know. Someone more brutal. I watched her corner a radstag and pistol whip it to death. It was just grazing. But as soon as she saw it, it was like all she could see was blood and all she could do was throw everything she had at this animal. I was just thinking back on this when I happened to turn around and find that she has at some point picked up an SMG on her own! She is swapping weapon classes like she never used a 10mm pistol in her life, like that SMG was all she ever knew. She loves the SMG more than she ever loved that pistol. She's like that mob guy who actually enjoys doing the hits. I send her ahead and she clears the next room with taunts and automatic bursts while I loot away.

It is like she is an entirely different person now. Am I creating a monster here? Now that she's picking up other weapons, I'm afraid to take her equips back. I feel like if I try to defang her at this stage in the transmutation, she'll grab a Fat Man launcher. I'll continue to work alongside her for now. I'll choose my preemptive strike on her carefully - I could try to lead her to circumstances that will get her killed and I'll just have to pray that she doesn't just come out stronger, be there to make sure she doesn't. It may already be too late for me to act. Knew something wasn't right with how she handled the Corvega job. Those damned glasses.... but they had life-sensing optics... how could we not use them? I think we screwed up bad. I don't know if Piper knows. She doesn't even take them off anymore.
