    What makes you think they didn't inform West Games?

     

    The story i linked from Polygon says that:

     

    http://www.polygon.com/2014/7/22/5927175/areal-kickstarter-suspended-stalker-west-games

     

    "Kickstarter doesn't disclose why it suspends campaigns, but said it will take such action if campaigns misrepresent or fail to disclose relevant facts about the project or its creator; provide inaccurate or incomplete user information; or misrepresent support by pledging to their own project."

     

    "Our Kickstarter was suspended without any warning. As per Kickstarter's policy, we cannot contact them to find out why. "

    I finished Assassins Creed Black Flag yesterday. The ship gameplay was a lot of fun, it made me really want a game that is all about age of exploration ship battles. The rest is the standard AC open world, lots of pointless collectibles, stupid mini-games, bad plot etc. I just want to sail around shooting stuff.

     

    If someone does make that ship game, I would want access to more than one kind of pilot-able ship with stats balancing (speed vs. armor vs. firepower), the ability to command fleet battles in real time and a multiplayer team deathmatch component.

    I beat BioShock Infinite today. It had the same solid shooter gameplay I have come to expect from a BioShock game. Wasn't a huge fan of the story line, multiple dimensions and time travel have always turned me off storylines. I feel like they are constantly trying to recapture the magic of BioShock 1 and they just can't do it.

    I just crossed Call of Pripyat off my list after neglecting it for about a year. It turned out I was only about three missions from the end, and I found them disappointing. One reason for that was because my past self exploited everything possible until I had so much in the way of cash, railgun ammo, and medical supplies those final missions were kind of easy ¬¬

     

    Shadow of Chernobyl really ramped up the tension toward the end, the final mission felt lonely and gruelling, and it led to some genuinely good and affecting endings. CoP just has you kill some stuff in bases very much like mid-game locations in the first game (The presumably meant to be climactic secret research base felt like clearing a standard location in Fallout 3), and the big payoff is "By pure luck, Strelok appears with the information you need, which turns out to be a fairly mundane answer to a fairly low stakes situation, army dudes all heli out" then it gives you a series of epilogues like some cheesy 80s film. SoC had you up against tough, well equipped guys in numbers for the last few parts. CoP throws a few zombies, a psi field and weak humans at you. Pripyat was built up as a really dangerous location for the entire game, but felt safer than plenty of other places visited earlier.

     

    From a technical standpoint it was certainly better than Shadow of Chernobyl, and some systems are better designed, but the fuck does CoP come anywhere near the sense of alienation and danger SoC evoked.

     

    The ideal stalker game is the story and map of Shadow of Chernobyl, the gameplay mechanics of Call of Pripyat  and the faction system from Clear Sky.

    I used to go to a forum that had a random screenshot thread. I always liked it because you got to see random bits of gameplay and odd things people are doing in games Just post a shot of what you are playing with some context.

     

    This is a prank I pulled on the minecraft server i play on. This tree goes up to the max height.

    I just finished Far Cry 3:Blood Dragon it was a fun mindless shooter that didn't take itself too seriously. The initial challenge of your guns not doing much damage was fun as was the endgame when you have unlocked all the attachments. I also appreciated that the blood dragons were still difficult even at the end of the game. My only major complaint is how much they limited sniping by surrounding the outposts with high walls. My favorite part of any open world shooter is being able to actually snipe.

     

    I wish there was a mod to port the weapons and animals into the regular game. I would enjoy demolishing the pirates with my laser rifle or watching a blood dragon rampage through an unprotected base.

    The multi-player component confused me, i don't understand what the point of it is. If you aren't really supposed to interact with other players why bother? my main concern is that there will be annoying connectivity requirements. I would be fine if the did Spore like multi-player, where connectivity is background and not needed, but that doesn't seem like what they are doing.

    Its really strange seeing the game mechanics sharing between Assassins Creed and Far Cry. I've recently been playing AC3 AC4 and FC3. Hunting, crafting, strongholds, animal bait all feel oddly familiar.  I would love if they would make Far Cry Black Flag, rob oil tankers from your speed boat loaded with RPGs.

    I keep getting almost excited about the PC port, then I remember how bad Rockstar's writing is and how irritating most of the missions in GTA 4 were.

    I actually recently tried an occulus and found it pretty unfortunately underwhelming. It was blurry because I had to take off my glasses and it wasn't adjusted for my eyesight because it was just a quick test so there was no time for that, so maybe that would make all the difference.

    But I mostly just thought it was a neat effect but not something I'd want to actually spend the money on the hardware for. Not remotely because it wasn't good, the tech functions really well. I just wonder if maybe it's not something I'd be for, since I generally don't get all that immersed in games normally, I might be paying more attention to the aspects that break the experience (like the fact that I'm just sitting in a chair) rather than letting the additive nature of VR overwhelm me.

     

    Do you know which headset you were using? There are two versions and the second one is far better. I have really enjoyed my experiences with it. The price makes more sense if you consider that it could be used to replace giant monitors. Also head tracking.

    I finished Far Cry 3 this weekend, It fixed most of the things that annoyed me about FC2 and as its an open world shooter I spent most of the game sniping (Possibly my favorite activity). The story was stupid, but I have come to expect that from the FPS genre. Solid game and it passed my $1 and hour enjoyment curve, I paid $25 for it and played it from about 30 hours. Now its on to Assassins Creed 3

    Which company will announce a WoW killer, which will be a WoW clone and fail horribly, The anticipation is killing me.

     

    Other than that I expect a bunch of overdone AAA shooters (New Killzone, new COD, new Battlefield, new MOH etc). More F2P games from EA and perhaps one trailer for a game that looks cool but gets totally ruined or was misrepresented (Watch_Dogs 2.0)
