What games let me play as a mercenary? A gun for hire who works for the highest bidder?
>>728922034Mountain BladeMountain Blade 2Project WingmanArmored Core 6 (or probably any of them)Battle BrothersNone of them are really a "gun" for hire though.
TortanicUntil the expansions
Gothic 2 Gothic 3. G3 sucks but the community patches make it a bit better. You can be a real asshole mercenary that partakes in slave trade of humans for Orcs and shit
S.T.A.L.K.E.Rjust ignore the main plot and play it like a merc
>>728922034Why did you post Titanfall? The games don't let you play as a merc, even with the multiplayer factions giving you the illusion that they are. You're either a plucky Militia rebel or a mindless IMC supersoldier, with different flavours for variety.On the topic, the mismanagement of Titanfall 3 is one of the biggest wastes of potential that I can recall in gaming. There was so much you could do with this universe. Shame that it all lies dormant and untapped because EA would rather keep Apex servers up for another 5 years while Respawn bleeds talent, until the people responsible for capturing the distinct military sci-fi look and feel of Titanfall are no longer around.
>>728924223oh. My bad. Sorry
fuck the mainline MK games.real niggas want a Shaolin Monks remake in 8k 120 FPS UE 5 kino
>>728924379>UE 5you lost me
It's the perfect MK roster, aside from the fact that Kotal, Erron Black, and D'vorah hadn't been created yetA shame >>728923625 is mostly correct otherwise
Extra question. Rate Deception roster
I just bought these. What am I in for?
>>728927431Forsaken filtered me so fucking hard when I was like 6 years old. Never tried it since
>>728927871I remember that Forsaken sexy bitch on the cover of a gaming magazine, never played it though
>>728927431 You're in for a wild ride of jank, nostalgia goggles, and probably spending more time tweaking INI files than actually playing. Hope you like fiddling with resolution settings and installing community patches. Enjoy the ride, anon.
>Jade EmpireGreat>Seven Kingdoms 2Ok for 2 afternoons>ForsakenTrash
>>728928242That's just what Steam chose as the pictures, I actually bought 9 gamesI got Seven Kingdoms 2 only because it was bundled in cheap with Warlords Battlecry 3

>>728927361If you get enough social credit you can do anything
I am sick to death of the casual-gamer, lowest-common-denominator, sub-100 IQ retard wiping out gaming history with their mediocre, uninformed input. The internet was a mistake. Gaming history is being scrubbed from human record-keeping and documentation. Masterful works of the past are being replaced by slop-addled common opinion from vermin who don’t even know video games, or who play games “just for the story” and/or visual experience alone. This is incredibly reductionist and misguided.Video games are very complex experiences that take huge teams to produce over multiple years, consisting of gameplay, music, sound design, art, story, and more. Developers certainly contribute heavily to this lost history as well, with their endless sellout remakes and remasters that make the originals worse, while providing almost zero genuine homage or respect for works of the past because it isn’t in their best interest to highlight superior art that makes their trash look like the worthless net negative to society it truly is.Into the foreseeable future, gayming historians and brave adventurers are going to look back on gaming to see what all the buzz was about. They’re going to discover some of the most commonly listed “masterpieces”1990s: Chrono Trigger, GoldenEye, Diablo2000s: BioShock, Silent Hill 2, Half-Life 22010s: Skyrim, GTA V, God of WarThese games dominate popular consensus. In one or two cases, they are hard to even consider games at all, featuring so little player interfacing with the experience. Each and every one is shallow trash, with far, FAR superior alternatives of very similar nature.People of the future are going to assume gaming of the past was all worthless trash. Many absolutely incredible works an absolute privilege to have experienced will be gone. Fuck these retarded parasites. And fuck sellout game devs that replaced them with totally worthless crap sequels and shit remaster/rehashes to pander to bottom feeders.
Bioshock -> System Shock 2. The same game almost, by the same devs, just with 10x the intelligence & substance. Measurable. Objectively.Chrono Trigger -> 90s Final Fantasy (excluding 4). Same loose game concept by the same devs, just with 10x the effort. Measurable. Objectively.Skyrim -> Arx Fatalis or Morrowind. Same loose game concept (same dev in one case), without the selling out to imbeciles like you.Half-Life 2 -> Half-Life 1. Same loose game concept, same dev, just actually somewhat more substantial and respectable. Duh.GTA V -> GTA: Vice City/San Andreas. Same loose game concept, same dev, just 5x less dumb and pandering. I'd recommend playing other games instead though. Good but not great.Goldeneye -> Literally almost any other 90s FPS chosen at random (PC or console) if it wasn't made in the third world or Miami. This game is thoroughly mid.Diablo -> Play an actual good action RPG of the 90s. Ultima Underworld, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, System Shock 2, Parasite Eve 2. To name a few.Silent Hill 2 -> Silent Hill 1 (same dev) or certain other real Survival Horrors with actual substance instead of pseudo-intellectualism.God of War -> DMC1 (2001), Ninja Gaiden (2004). Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams (2006), Demon Souls (2008). Same loose concept but as usual, much more substance.This is the real history of quality and accomplishment in their respective niches or styles. Without going in to all the erasure happening elsewhere for others. My job as someone not retarded and with broad gaming history across most platforms is to set the record straight.
>>728926048I played almost all of these games, I'm still not seing the "erasure". Like I thought, just another dumb sperg who doesn't get the concept of older games not being talked as much as newer releases. Even then, I don't understand your butthurt about relatively niche (compared to rest from your list) titles like Silent Hill 2, buzzwords like "pseudo-intellectualism" aren't replacement for proper explanation. I replayed all 3 Silent Hill games several times, for the record, including getting all stars rank. Parts of your picks are also comparing apples to oranges, like I'm not a fan of Diablo, but what the fuck does that row have in common besides loosely shared concept of "leveling"? Those games aren't interchangable at all. Skyrim/Morrowind - Morrowind is nowhere near forgotten, and Arx Fatalis isn't alternative to either, much as I like it. Same goes for the rest of your list, it's useless because you got dropped as child and don't comprehend logic or theory of mind.
>>728921443>never touched a special investigation
>>728915263>wordswordswordsOkay.
>>728915263agreed
(no rest for the wicked) They kept talking about how it was supposed to be about smart deliberate combat instead of contemporany ARPG shit where you spam explosions and infinite ranged attacks and etc. But it seems they were so shit at balancing and just threw the towel>yeah bows are now primary weapons and from the first 2 hours of the game you can spam explosive burning arrows endlessly directly from your stamina bar>yeah wands can summon ridiculously high damage, instant, infinite range explosions. Or if you save up enough you can call an explosion that practically instakills any boss>yeah making the best weapon is about hoping rng boosts your damage and crit enchant over and over. every weapon has a gay superfluous crit chance now
Reminder the biggest video game announcement of 20 years was delayed by the increasing RAM prices so retards can make worthless AI slop.
>>728909494Well you certainly seem to be an indication of that
>>728920526 nice try Aperture, we’re not falling for your "free energy from thin air" bait again. last time I 3D printed a graphics card it came out looking like a Picasso painting and caught fire in my toaster. i’ll synthesize matter when i stop needing firmware updates to blink, thanks.
>>728918657He still posts
It's still only matter of when
>>7289257292 more weeks.
Gaijin the company that made war thunder is actually the worst game company out there and I am not even fucking jokingAnyone familiar with war thunder will back me up on this.
Reminder that the alpha is already out and we know the next female characters>Aspyce Chorda (pic related)>A magos biologis girl>And some other acolyte named ToumaPredict which ones will be romance options, and hwich one will be best girlalso torrent when?
>>728923817I didn’t see this thread in the catalog before I searched up the term dark heresy. Aspyce’s picture is very visually neutral.
>RT gives us only 2 xenos>DH gives us only 2 xenosHelllo?? More xenos come on!!!
Im really enjoying the investigation parts, could be great depending on the writing and outcomes, especially because the game gives you the option to just be flat out wrong
>>728928082You'll get 2 more xenos in our 4 DLC across 3 years, promise!
>>728928082Nobody likes or cares about xenos.
Wow, this game is REALLY underwhelming. Glad I didn't pay any money for it (Thanks Russians)
>>728916491that fag hugo martin who wanted to turn doom into marvel with expanded universe shitentire game takes a backseat to a shitty plot nobody but him understands
>>728927078Hugo is also responsible for the cool stuff people liked about the games like the gruff voiced narrator, the angry first person exposition etcIts just the occasion of creatives in humanity to piss some groups off due to differences
>>728919025I'd like to believe id realized they can't top Eternal, so they decided to make TDA as a sidegrade with stuff that they hope people would accept, but turns out people hate it.
>>728927147Bullshit, vidya is a collaborative effort by entire dev team, hes an art guy who cant direct games for shitDoom 2016 and Doom Eternal where he wasnt in charge were good, the DLCs and Dark Ages where he had full creative control were pure gay circle jerk of his retarded storyHes typical egomaniac in wrong position, despite 0 writing experience he made himself the narrative lead on eternal and dark ages, and the plot took a nosedive from 2016 that had a proffesional writer, he wants to be the game director, the narrative lead and art director, but hes no Kojima, he has no vision, his main inspiration is Marvel movies.Hyden defeated offscrean, father abandoned, wretch missing, satan is doom guy, its fucking shit.
>>728927435He is turbo autistic and humble when it comes to crediting others in his interviews and is anal about providing proof.He has shown one of his hundreds of recordings trying to make the 2016 GRAVELY VOICE INTRO sound cool, has explained exactly how Eternal diverged from 2016s design and his mindset and goals in doing so. I can source anything you dont believe me on
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a shameless copy ripoff in every single aspect, with no soul originality, vision, personality, sensibility, character design or anything, made by some potheads from the netherlands. Good thing theres a new Jet Set Radio coming and also a remake. English not my first language.
>>728924119What the fuck? How is there a trailer for a sequel out already? And it's 3 months old? Indie games really are the future, it feels like PS2 era again where sequels to games fly out faster than you can play them
>>728927197Calling it Hyperfunk was probably a mistake for marketting purposes
>>728924119I think focusing on the hyper speed is a good direction but hopefully the bosses are better, better stages, enemies to fight, and more mission variety. I honestly beat Bombrush and can't remember much about the game and think the game is under coooked in a lot of areas.
>>728927042>sega bulldozing aesthetic perfectionmany such cases
>>728917018Nice try pega but not buying your shitty sequel, i will use my money on hyperfunk
Why is magic so lame in video games today? Why isn’t it actually scary like actual superstition? Accusations of hocus pocus stemmed from fear of the unknown, much like how religion was made in confrontation with the unknown grandeur of nature.
>>728916541I think it's cool when the magic has been "lost" to time but is still being practiced by one or two dudes who are keeping the tradition alive
>>728927062>magic is powerful but dangerousReminds me of Noita. I think magic is handled in pretty cool way in that game with how it's knowledge based, it's unpredictable if you don't know what you're doing.
>>728927716I like how Noita plays, but it always felt more like weird guns rather than magic to me.
>>728925527Another idea. Magic changing based on the environment. Spells are modified, certain spells can only be cast in certain places, etc. Inspired by the common theme of mages drawing magic out from the land. And then you can build on that with the Discworld idea of the strongest mages generating magic from themselves.
>>728928054Outward does some stuff like that.
This game needs to be studied.
>>728882706>jennifer englishwait, that's an actual person? wtf lol, i thought it's like a meme for Jennifer (English) voice model or something
>>728927843retard
>>728927843Retard.
>>728927785your shitty larps are embarassing
>>728928069Not a larp.
Do you think we will be getting GW3 at all?Some people think they’re working on GW2 remastered instead of GW3.
>>728927002Even if they wanted to do a scifi project, they'd be retarded not to ride on the name recognition of Guild Wars and not just set it in the future of Kryta.
>>728925927I can barely imagine how fucking gay it would be
I don't care. the current anet team is a joke. gw2 was only good for a short while when Mike O'Brien was in charge. it went from a mid experience to just bad in its later years. haven't been paying any attention to it recently but from what I hear they are just bumping out expansions with almost no content nowadays.
>>728925927If they do make it I hope it borrows more from GW1 to iterate on the formula. WoW clones are outdated and need to die.
I think NCSoft shut down nu-anet's other projects and told them to focus on making GW2 xpacs instead, even though they were trying to maintenance mode GW2.GW1 getting the reforged update was kinda-sorta a cashcrab for NCsoft? I think they hired one original anet guy just to say they have someone from the old team there to guarantee they don't butcher anything.
Redpill me on the horse game.

i want to buy darktide but the entire game, dlcs included, even with christmas sales is over 75 $. is it worth such a sum?
>>728923148You'd have to be mentally dim to enjoy DRG.
>>728922516The DLC is just (shitty) cosmetics and 2 extra classes. You don't need either.
>>728922516what? the game is like 10 dollars, and the 2 extra classes are 20 bucks. one of them isn't even on sale.just get the game for 10 dollars and play all the other classes. if you like the game and think you want a new class, buy those.
>>728923501Verm1 is just like L4D1: a loser trap for people that dont have 3 friends to play with
>>728922516I own so many digital deluxe editions with all content because muh value and muh sale, just to get burned out well before I get to said content.Just buy the content when needed, use key sites or whatever. Steamfags forget shit is constantly on sale and winter sale is not the "deepest of sales".
I want to play Endfield when it goes live but I'm concerned that there won't be any fanservice. If I'm going to put my time and money into a game I want to be absolutely sure that there will at the very least be the occasional sexy, scantily clad female for me to goon to. Does the current Arknights have any fanservice? I get the vibe that it's a totally non-coomer game and that this one will be too.
>>728927083Fluorite is definitely goonable though I do share your sentiment. While there absolutely will be bikini's like every other 3d gacha and og Arknights, the fact is it seems more like only a quarter of bikini skins released on og AK are actually "scantily clad", most are pretty toned down. And it'll probably be the same with Endfield with a handful of total sexo bikinis outnumbered by just very modest bikinis. https://youtu.be/_CqbgAPnMFw
>>728927083>Does the current Arknights have any fanservice?Yes, but it's not nikke-grade horny obviously.
>>728927083There are some coomer skins but for the most part its more tame than most gacha in that department.
>>728927083>I'm concerned that there won't be any fanserviceGiven that they don't know what they're really trying to do with Endfield, they're already relying on fanservice in the form of returning fan favourites from Arknights. The game looks to be incredibly creatively bankrupt.
