Gonna give Max Payne 3 another try tonight. Hopefully ill get into it although everything about it so far is frustrating me, which is a surprise as I enjoyed the others and games of this type.

I didn't rate MP3 tbh.

deadly_habit · Post by **deadly_habit** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 1:31 pm

MP3 was alright, but not as good as the originals.
New Rise of the Triad is godlike, just having performance issues with it like a lot of people, once patched it's gonna be my go to MP FPS game. God I missed twitch arena shooters.

Gotta say I LOVED the original on release. But I'm too old for those twitch shooters anymore, just dont enjoy em.

That's a shame, it's also a shame that it's become such a niche market and that games like CoD and Battlefield are the new standard.
This, ArmA 3, and the new Shadow Warrior are some of the only games I've been hyped for in recent time.

those games and star forge looks cool

deadly_habit · Post by **deadly_habit** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 2:49 pm

Starforge I almost bought into, but heard too many issues to take the plunge.
Rust seems cool and Under the Ocean as well (need to spend some more time with that) if you haven't checked those out.

nobody plays them anymore though, quake live was almost totally dead last time I played it about 7 months ago.

They do, just not the new generation of gamers, I regularly watch Quake Live tournaments on twitch.
Tribes Ascend also was gaining some traction in the competitive scene before Hi-Rez fucked it up and abandoned it.
Also it's kind of hard to play what doesn't get made anymore.
Some of my favorite comments on the new RotT Remake I've read so far:
Reloading does nothing on the bullet weapons.
I have a bug where some dead guy took my weapon and killed me.
MP is just a rocket fest and unbalanced.
Where is the shotgun?
Ironsights don't make my aim any better.
It's too fast.

Anyone whose played the original should get a kick out of these.

the problem with quake I reckon is that it was just way too difficult for new players who wanted to just randomly be able to play the game and expect to do well in it. It's not like a game like COD where you can just run around grabbing overpowered equipment to let you rain random death from the skies.

deadly_habit · Post by **deadly_habit** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 5:22 pm

Yea the problem is it takes skill and practice to actually be able to do well in MP matches. Patience isn't exactly a virtue you see in modern gamers.

generations arena look cool, its a mod that is being worked on some more

QuakeCon keynote, given by John Carmack on Aug. 1 at 5:30 p.m. ET

That and Quake Live playoffs atm
http://www.twitch.tv/quakecon

I will say that I am getting my shit wrecked in RotT MP atm as I'm readjusting to the speed of it and having to get used to my sensitivity settings with my trackball.

I have to say Pete, even with the performance issues I'm currently having, this is the most fun I've had with a FPS in ages. I'd say snag it just for the singleplayer alone if you loved the original, hell it's only $15 as well.

Also people might want to take a look at the latest Humble Bundles
http://www.humblebundle.com/
Deep Silver one for a $1 you get Saints Row 2 & 3, Risen 2 & Sacred 2 (almost positive Sacred 1 and Risen 1 are gonna be the unlock games later on), Better than Average gets you SR3 complete and Dead Island GOTY as well, $25 or more adds Dead Island Riptide to the bunch

Tactics buffs should check out the Weekly Sale which is 1C, has a nice selection of the King's Bounty and Men of War games

Indie Gala has a 14 game bundle going on, can only really recommend Oniken, SPAZ, Painkiller & Hydrophobia from it the rest never played. http://www.indiegala.com/

Groupees has a RPG bundle going on as well, though only played Ben There Dan That from it http://groupees.com/arpg

And this is how I end up with so many games on the cheap people

Electric_Head · Post by **Electric_Head** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 9:29 am

From Steam?
I may pick it up tonight then.
I'm loving this ADSL, it's so cheap to buy digital copies sometimes.
