When a Jeep turns into a wood-chipper:

don't starve is like far cry 3 but fun and not racist.

girlfriend forbade me from killing any more animals in this, except snakes.

i like how all of the actual animal hunting quests justify it by making them rabid dogs or man-eating bears, but the rest of the time you're encouraged to shoot all of the animals because you want a new wallet.

Huh? All the hunting quest targets I've seen lately are suggested due to their exoticness: blood kimodo, black leopard, white belly tapir, etc.

haha yeah go murder this endangered animal with a bow. then make a very fashionable grenade pouch. then do it again and again.

I actually liked the crafting and hunting mechanic in this, but the targets got way too close to some poacher shit for this.

guess i'm not that far yet, i'm on the initial Animal Control levels and haven't graduated to poaching.

A+++

So the island is just a very large branch of Ikea.

(unintentional pun)

i want to play a good recent shooter. is this ok? or is it too douchey to deal w/

it's kinda douchey but the mechanics carry it through for me. doing things is fun, and the semi-random wanderings of animals and soldiers adds a lot. enough for me to overlook the dumb elements.

huh ok, i'll keep it in mind. i did enjoy fc2 a lot.

cozen where are you with fps science these days

wait r. shift to hold breath???????

Or right-stick to hold, yeah. Better accuracy.

To be fair, the only really douchey things are the characters, and they're written that way.

Got to the sex scene last night, which made sense in the story, I guess, and wasn't nearly as cringe-worthy as the speech the protagonist makes afterwards trying to rile up the troops.

Also, the 2ndary characters aren't used enough

this game is 7/10 solid

story is so dumm tho & ~drugz~ sequences cringey

i just wish i wasn't having so much fun as a tribal-tatted bro shooting lots of animals and african people.

Pretty sure it's Indonesia...?

i thought it was african pirates taking over a polynesian or indonesian island for some reason? i dunno, i haven't gotten very far in the story + it doesn't matter.

do feel a bit guilty headshotting pairs of lovebird turtles

r shift to breathe means dude is either is stretching his hand all the way across the keyboard to steady the shot OR dude has some crazy ass left-handed mouse setup. i'm a left-handed dude and even i think that shit is aberrant. is he buying special left handed mouses?

the open world thing where i walk and walk and walk and walk and i'm almost where i want to go and then i fall off a cliff and die and whoops i'm back where i started. drives me nuts. would be willing to forgive this game its narrative/cultural dumbassedness if it weren't for that shit.

yeah when i die i never know what's going to be saved. if i skin an animal, make something, and then die, it's usually gone. but then i did one of those 'wanted' missions and did a takedown on the target, promptly got shot in the head, and it counted as a successful mission.

wish there was a save-whenever-you-want system.

ugh theres no self save option? that suuuuuuuucks

like honestly i have no idea why devs in 2012 would be doing that, esp with an open world game

oh wait, there is a 'save' option, but it's still weird. it doesn't save your position and let you load up from right where you left off, so does it just save your gear etc?

yeah it saves your stuff and stats but you "wake up" in one of the fast travel locations

h8 it when this 'open-world' game kicks you back to a loading screen when you kill a guy the 'wrong' way

when i was doing the medusa mission i started on a hang-glider going to the far side of the beach to approach from that way, and it said 'FAILED: YOU LEFT THE MISSION ZONE'. like, yo, i had a plan. too bad going between missions and wandering around isn't a little more seamless.

oh man that blows. in FC2 you could go wherever the hell you wanted

are the Crysis games worth playing? The whole series is available for less than twenty bucks american this weekend on steam and amazon

the first few hours of crysis 1 are awesome. super fun. then it gets kind of bad but you can just reload and fuck around in the first area some more.

heard crysis 2 is more of a zzzz corridor shooter. no firsthand experience tho.

in the jungle part of 1 you are basically the predator.

Hmmm

Okay, I'm gunna need a break between playing FC3 and this

“For example, GTA is a colonization game. You come to New York, you colonize New York. Most open world games function that way. Ezio comes to Rome and colonizes Rome. To take that to its extreme, exaggerating those tropes is how you reveal them. The exaggeration of that trope is what happens in Far Cry 3.”

omg fuck this dude. way to be super condescending and a total idiot at the same time.

fanon cry 3

^ phrases uttered probably only on ilx

Brohalem

Finally beat this. You can pretty much call the end of the game, but there ya go. The plot points are stupid, but what are you gunna do.

The "good" ending is perfunctory, but the "bad" ending is D U M B

Alternate joke: "Man! Talk about getting fucked by an ending!"

Just found this for $25 at a Salvation Army of all places

nerd alert: there's a Dune joke in here

how's crysis 3? loved first and second

really pretty on pc. had some dumb fun with multiplayer but no confidence in its longevity

i never do multiplayer so that's no big deal. worrying reports of it being too easy though. not something that could be levelled at crysis 2

no idea if this is bullshit or not, but it looks AWESOME
