Would love to try both. I wouldn’t even mind Hl1 in VR (HL1 is my favourite in the series, other release are examplry as well).

I should honestly try the 3rd one. These days I don’t really play FPSs other than replaying HL1/HL2 (and their expansions) and Max Payne 1/2 usually in back to back sessions.

I would of course play HL3 (still have to play HLA; I don’t have an index).

The original was definitely the best (haven’t played Max Payne 3 though), but I thought the sequel was solid enough.

Every 2-3 years I do a replay of both games back to back. It’s almost like a single package for me.

I was hoping for a more simulator/tycoon game. 😀

Did that Bible game include gameplay around setting up a “church” that was actually a political donation front to promote political parties that would limit free access to healthcare for the population (under the auspices of lower taxes and “market driven solutions to healthcare”)?

Or was the gameplay lazy and uninspired?

Current AAA titles almost certainly have comparable development costs.

If you have 1,000 FTEs with a blended per-FTE annual cost of $100 K (I would argue this could be higher in North America and Western Europe) that works out to $100 M per year of development.

Cheers!

How do the dynamic elements (motorcycle patrols, arrival of reinforcements) work?

I’ve never played a “PvE” boardgame like this.

I find it difficult to believe that FSR 4.0 will be exclusive to the 9,000 series.

This seems to be an early leak without the full context.

Didn’t he get all fucked up and miserable from all that money from the sale to MS?

Really dislike the style and tone of this particular youtuber. A lot of the clips I’ve encountered with make him sound like a shill or someone whose primary audience is children.

I stopped playing consoles after my first Sega Mega Drive (most of the games I like work better on M+KB), but I’ve been meaning to try and play some N64 games in an emulator. And HD texture and quality mods would be a nice addition.

I heard that this one does have pretty dark, sleazy motifs.

Tried the demo out, it’s a very stylish game and with it’s own unique take on movie production (somewhat similar to how you develop games in Mad Games Tycoon). Seemed promising, although I do wonder how well the core movie production gameplay works in the mid to late game.

Second screenshot looks really good.

Timberborn is also really good, the water dynamics really makes the game stand out compared to other town/colony builders.

They’ve also added much needed improvements to water dynamics (aqueducts).

I recently tried playing TF2 after a long break (maybe 5 years) and while there is still decent number of user run servers, it’s not always easy to find a relatively full one for many maps.

It really is special. I initially tried it out because I liked the aesthetic and the map setup/setting; small fantasy colony surrounded by impenetrable forest in a post-apocalyptic world. I was really skeptical about the roguelike x citybuilder hybrid as I like long city-builder sessions with huge maps and elaborate city designs, but they pulled it off perfectly.

I have 100+ hours. I did stop playing after the one of the early access builds made some changes that undermined by core strategy, but that’s a personal thing. Really need to try out the DLC and start from scratch.

This is a great game. They’ve managed to pull off a roguelike citybuilder; a genre combination that one would think would not work. Great visuals and atmosphere too.

There is also MMORPG Tycoon 2, which is comparable but actually does everything in 3D. It’s a fun game if the concept sounds appealing. The biggest issue is that it has been in early access for over 4 years (albeit with a relatively consistent update cadence).
