Borderlands 2

Long time no read, fellow game-players.

But : I played a bit but did not find the time to write it down here. And besides, I am actually starting to play games more and more analytic, since after a year of intense catching up I think I am mostly up-to-date.

So I will try to get into that what actually amazes me about games : their mechanics, their rules and most of all, the additional level a game gets when multiplayer comes into play.

I bought Borderlands 2 in a steam sale, and I must say, besides being a dumb FPS, it actually is a very suitable game to study. So I hope I can remember and read all my thoughts and notes while playing it, cause you can see most of the concepts of newer and older (FPS) games coming together here in a funny yet absurd brutal way.

Stay tuned.

Still cant move - E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy

Yes. And since my last test was so bad, I think I will get the taste from it out of my mouth with "E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy" - hopefully.

It's still 9.99 Euro on Steam. I do not remember where I got it from, but I certainly did not pay this much for it. I know nothing about it.

When I pressed play it open in a low resolution after installing DirectX 9. 

Besides of everything, what exactly was Valve thinking when they did their FUCKING script system ?

[ FIRST RUN - STAY TUNED ]

O.K. This game is worth a deeper look. It feels like a japanese robot firm, William Gibson and some bored to death scifi 3D artists fell together into a mixer and somebody took the resulting slurry and pressed it through a sharp biscuit form.

[ AFTER A GOOD, BUT SHORT NIGHT OF SLEEP ]

This game still interests me. I am not so sure I am up to its story, though. It is a lot of reading, strange
vocabulary. God, am I conditioned to voice overs these days. I mean, come on, I played Ultima 7 Part II and thats PRACTICALLY A BOOK. So why is this here going on my nerves. I am not sure yet.

This game is from 2011. And it looks amazing for that. They used the Source Engine. Have to look that up.

Interlude : Dead Space 2 - They do BF Hardline these days, WTF

Visceral (thats the right spelling ?!) !!!

When I heard they do Battlefield Hardline, I thought well they must be hell of a company when Dice is giving them their job more or less. So I got Dead Space. I was torn apart by the game. On the one hand it was like a Alien movie gone wrong in all the right ways but at the same time it was like "No, do not do it like that please".

Due to the limitations of the computer hardware at the time DS1 came out, it was small, somewhat linear-creepy and full of stupid localized riddles. And the feeling you play it on a console somehow never left you alone.

But I played it half through I think. I even watched the comic move half that they brought out when the game was a big success. So when there was a sale I bought Dead Space 2. And that is what I will get myself into now.

Are headache and bad mood good basics to get a first impression of a F2P FPS ? Warface.

CURRENT RATING : BORING LINEAR FPS (FREE TO PAY TRASH)
TRASHY
FRUSTRATING

Who wants to pay for fresh old clothes ?
Yes I have a terrible headache and I am in a really bad mood (cause of the headache and the bad software that Samsung makes for its tablets). And yes, probably not the best scenario to get a first impression of a fresh beta FPS.

While the whole world except Crytek thinks Crytek is broken, they release a free to p(l)ay FPS over Steam. Warface. The trailer looks nice. The story is that about our world gone totally openly neo-cyberpunk-fashism-money-dicatorship-capitalism BUT you of course are playing those who fight against the capitalist bastards. (That's why Crytek broke ??)

Wild Wild West - Or how one thing lead to another and now I am trying WWW Shooters ?!

CURRENT RATING
FUNNY



Steam Sale. Nevertheless the steam sale game is a pure brilliant *cliche on* women money on shoes *cliche off*.
unimaginative rip off, I enjoy spending little money on games like

And since the twitch stream of humble bundle yesterday involved a WWW game, I thought ey, I never actually played a WWW FPS !!

And the advantage of a FPS, it can be played with Keyboard/Mouse.

So I bought Call of Juarez Gunslinger.

Despite the name and the fact that I know NOTHING about this game OR the developers, I was curious. Good ol'Ubisoft as publisher and an Engine I never heard of plus a wild wild west setting. OK. Well, first thing was the game needed only 3.8 gb. 3.8gb for a full flechted FPS ? OK ?!?!

Well I write this here being untouched about this game, so lets go. *reloads his colt*
