Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what do you think of it?

Posted: 01 Oct 2016 12:06 PM PDT

Please use this thread to discuss whatever you've been playing lately (old or new, any platform, AAA or indie). As usual, please don't just list the names of games as your entire post, make sure to elaborate with your thoughts on the games. Writing the names of the games in bold is nice, to make it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the names.

Please also make sure to use spoiler tags if you're posting anything about a game's plot that might significantly hurt the experience of others that haven't played the game yet (no matter how old or new the game is).

Since this thread is likely to fill up quickly, consider sorting the comments by "new" (instead of "best" or "top") to see the newest posts.

For a subreddit devoted to this type of discussion during the rest of the week, please check out /r/WhatAreYouPlaying.

Weekly /r/Games Discussion - Suggestion request free-for-all

Posted: 01 Oct 2016 12:06 PM PDT

/r/Games usually removes suggestion requests that are either too general (eg "Which PS3 games are the best?") or too specific/personal (eg "Should I buy Game A or Game B?"), so this thread is the place to post any suggestion requests like those, or any other ones that you think wouldn't normally be worth starting a new post about.

If you want to post requests like this during the rest of the week, please post to other subreddits like /r/gamingsuggestions, /r/ShouldIBuyThisGame, or /r/AskGames instead.

Please also consider sorting the comments in this thread by "new" so that the newest comments are at the top, since those are most likely to still need answers.

Joseph Anderson No Man's Sky Review

I have to rant how good the new Hitman is, because I don't think it's getting the praise it deserves

Posted: 01 Oct 2016 05:01 PM PDT

I decided to buy the intro for the new Hitman game after rage-quitting my replay of Absolution during that horrid courthouse jail level.

Wasn't expecting much honestly, but it turns out that the damned tutorial levels in Hitman 2016 are better than most levels in Absolution! I don't mean to say that Absolution was a bad game, but some levels really felt like Sam Fisher should be doing them.

And then I played Paris. My favorite mission from the older Hitman games was the hotel with the baths, and Paris blows that out of the water! It took me over 2 hours to beat and I feel like I barely skimmed the surface. Before playing the game proper I ran the in-game benchmark to test out settings and it showed rooms and areas that I haven't even seen a glimpse of in my playthrough.

I also hardly reloaded saves (a common and frustrating thing in Absolution) because the size of the level allowed me to retreat (sometimes down a drainpipe :P) and approach the target in a different way. Fucking up felt fun rather than frustrating. I felt more satisfied after bumbling through the Paris episode than when I aced a level in Absolution.

My only (and apparently most people's) complaint is the fact that you only get the bonus episodes if you buy the whole thing at once or upgrade to full from the intro. I get that this is to reward people who are willing to trust the company and pay up front, but the reality is that the full package is a bit too expensive for me (EUR to PLN is a bitch). And while I want to buy and play just the next episode, I probably won't anytime soon because that means locking myself out of content :/

Having said that, a lot of people bring up that complaint as THE major flaw of the game, but I don't think it warrants the "mixed" rating it has on Steam. It's the best damn Hitman game ever made. Yeah, I'm judging it after only playing the first episode, but the next levels would have to be rat mazes for me to change my mind.

It's 2AM here and I'm going to have another go at Paris :P

Modern Warfare Remaster requires Infinity Warfare disc to play

Posted: 01 Oct 2016 03:36 PM PDT

http://charlieintel.com/2016/10/01/new-legal-wording-cod-site-suggests-iw-disc-might-required-play-mwr/

"Modern Warfare Remastered is a full game download (game disc must be inserted to play Modern Warfare Remastered)."

For those who are getting the two games digitally, this does not apply for you. This only applies to physical purchases of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's Legacy and Legacy Pro editions.

Regarding PS4 early access:

"That code is just for the early access version, come release day that version stops working and you have to install the full game via the code in the box/email if you buy digitally."

World of Warcraft: Legion has been out for a month. Does it have the staying power this time around?

Posted: 01 Oct 2016 06:47 PM PDT

Warlords of Draenor started out strong then shortly hit a downward spiral as people started to get to the core of the garrison experience.

How are you WoW players finding Legion after 4 weeks into the title's lifespan?

Sacrifice (2000) - A One Of A Kind Game

Posted: 01 Oct 2016 05:03 PM PDT

Hi guys! I'm here to talk about Sacrifice, one of my all time favorite video games which sadly doesn't get a lot of attention, and try to convince you to give it a shot!

Okay, so what is this game?

Sacrifice is a third-person real-time strategy video game developed by Shiny Entertainment (the guys behind MDK and Earthworm Jim) and published by Interplay in the year 2000.

While it is a strategy game, it puts little emphasis on building and resource gathering. You control a powerful Wizard in the service of the gods, capable of casting destructive spells and summoning dreadful creatures. You can't die - after depleting your health, the Wizard turns into a ghost and can return to his corporeal form by replenishing his Mana at a mana fountain or his Altar, the main structure and the place that links you with your god.

Your goal is to defeat the opposing Wizard. But how do you accomplish that, if a Wizard can't die? It's quite simple - together with your summoned army you must storm the enemy's Altar and Desecrate it by Sacrificing one of your own creatures. If the enemy Wizard is killed during the ritual, he is banished from the realm and you win. While it sounds incredibly pagan and brutal from the description alone, it's really not - you've got to see it for yourself to believe it.

What are the game modes, what is the diversity?

There is an incredible solo story campaign with a captivating, deep story and HIGH amounts of replayability. As the wizard Eldred with a mysterious past you can pledge your services to one of the five Gods:

  • Persephone, the Goddess of Life - her playstyle relies on healing spells and fast regenerating, nature-themed creatures. You may convert enemy creatures to your side or raise giant vines from the ground.

  • James, the God of Earth - his playstyle relies on powerful terraforming or protective spells, with slow, but durable and strong creatures. You can destroy the ground beneath your foes, send them flying or cast rocks from the sky.

  • Stratos, the God of Air (voiced by Tim Curry!) - his playstyle relies on powerful area-of-effect (like tornadoes!) or enemy impairing spells, with swift creatures promoting a hit and run tactic.

  • Pyro, the God of Fire - his playstyle relies on setting the whole world ablaze with AoE spells, raising erupting volcanoes from the ground and creatures dealing high amounts of damage.

  • Charnel, the God of Death - his playstyle relies on stealing life and mana energy from your foe, feeding Souls to your creatures to make them stronger, imploding enemy creatures, reanimating your fallen armies and even summoning the Angel of Death knowing no difference between friend or foe!

Each God offers their own missions and storyline while rewarding you with new spells and creatures, letting you replay at least five fully different times. You can also mix it up and change your alliegiances, which can result in up to 172890 different playthroughs!

There is also a skirmish vs. A.I. option and even online multiplayer for up to 4 players! You can also choose between 15 different Wizards, each of them fully voiced and with a unique look.

What makes this game stand out?

It's a wonderful, one of a kind mix of RPG and strategy. No other game offers such a strategical depth and unit commanding tactics together with World of Warcraft-esque character controls. There are multiple ways to fortify your Altar, impactful and well-timed spells can turn the tide of the battlefield and every creature has its own strengths and weaknesses.

The playstyle also massively differs from any other strategy game - the only currency is Souls. More powerful and larger creatures require more Souls to summon. Blue Souls are pure and free to collect, while heathen Red Souls (left behind by enemies and neutral creatures) require Converting them at your altar with the help of quirky creatures which you must protect during the process.

The game has very unique visual and sound design, offering out of this world character concepts with great, smooth animations. It looks very good even today, though it is a 2000 release! The developers also managed to get an impressive amount of great voice actors, with a lot of big names like Tim Curry, Brad Garrett and Jennifer Hale.

That sounds very interesting! Can I see more of it/can I play it?

Here is a half an hour video by TotalBiscuit playing and praising the game. 13 minutes in he starts a skirmish match showcasing how a Sacrifice session looks like, but I personally suggest watching the whole thing to see the unique character designs and listen to their awesomely voiced conversations.

If you want to play it for yourself, it's available for a very low price on GOG.com. For such a great game with high replayability and loads of interesting solutions, it's a steal. I highly recommend you give it a try - you won't be disappointed.
