Discussion What's your favourite video game you've been playing?

I've finished Deus Ex MD. You know what, the ending wasn't all that disappointing for me. I did hear a lot about the abruptness and kind of a let down of it, so I had my expectations bar pretty low. Maybe that was why? I saw the ending coming so it didn't feel abrupt to me.

Spoiler

I see the consequences of not having done the bank heist now. Miller died in my game.
During the boss battle with Marchenko, I used the jammer to mess up his detonator and I accidently stumbled upon a secret door that led me straight to Nathaniel Brown. That was so convenient. I was able to immediately warn him and thus, was able to save them.

The fight with Marchenko was a little hard for me. I used Titan and maybe 10-15 biocells to put in a lot of shotgun rounds into him, which I believe did absolutely nothing, since he too had some form of Titan armor. I don't know why it took me so long to figure that out. Spent rest of the time finding security terminals to hack into the bots and they were the ones who did the work for me. They killed him off.
I know that he has a kill switch but I couldn't find it.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with how the game ended for me.

I'm sure most of you guys have played it by now but Mad Max is $3.19 at CDKeys for those who haven't.

I didn't hate the ending of MD. I really liked the whole game. I'll like it again at some point soon too. :lol:

 

[Deleted member 217926]

Oh and I'm playing AC III. So far it's a giant cut scene. I understand at some point it will go beyond that though so I'll keep it up. Bored to tears right now with it.

Felt like a sequel bait. I feel like they could have introduced her connection with the illuminati within the game's storyline.
Now we're hearing that the Deus Ex games are in a possible hiatus. So I don't think we'll get to know anything about her anytime soon.

And what more to say about the story? It was pretty straightforward don't you think?

I definitely want to replay the game. I'll try a more lethal approach in the next playthrough. New game+ really adds replay value.

Yeah, the beginning of the game is really slow. Are you playing as Haytham Kenway right now?

More like Jensen's real purpose was to find Janus the whole time and MD's Jensen is not the same Jensen from HR

Mankind divided spoilers-

Spoiler

MGS V Spoilers too, so if you haven't played it, don't read.

Yeah, there was one moment in the story where I got the MGS V vibes all over again. I kinda had a thought that maybe this Adam was a clone but I quickly dimissed the idea. He seems real enough. The extra augs he had gotten and how they did not answer about their presence in Adam's body remains a mystery in the canon story.

It could very well be that the fan theories are true. If they are, holy molly. I just played two games where the main guy is not who you think he is...

There are lots of stuff that can be missed in DXMD. Even I missed quite a lot on the first play-through

Spoiler

Jensen in a train to Ruzicka station. Is that Delara Auzenne?

Ivan Berk the one who plants the bomb at Ruzicka station passing by:

Madame Photographe, the Watcher, right in front watching over Jensen at Ruzicka station:

Madame Photographe again watching over Jensen in the night under martial law:

Vincent Black was suspicious of Delara Auzenne:

Elias Chikane is being blackmailed by an illuminati member (and he is the mole):

Elias Chikane's message to Viktor Marchenko:

This NPC seems to be babbling some nonsense:

But who is in the box?

The Deus Ex logo:

DXHR retail box:

[Gman450]

Good eye. Those are some really strong hints. I missed a lot of them. I am definitely going to play this game again.

Spoiler

Why did Jensen not mention their encounter in the train? When I saw that scene, I immediately thought that she was probably some main character. I couldn't remember her face though.

I'm not surprised that Chikane is the mole. I did not like him one bit.

That Jensen like being in that chamber. OMG. Where did you find it? At GARM?

 

[Deleted member 217926]

OK I'm now aware that I missed over half that. Now I have to play again. 😛

Why did Jensen not mention their encounter in the train? When I saw that scene, I immediately thought that she was probably some main character. I couldn't remember her face though.

That is probably because she can control Jensen's memories or maybe he just didn't see her face from that angle. I also think the side quest Fade to Black in which you need to find Vincent Black was just so that she could test Jensen.

That Jensen like being in that chamber. OMG. Where did you find it? At GARM?
That's at Versalife vault at Palisade Bank very well hidden and you need light to actually see his face. It's not confirmed who the body is but it is quite likely the Jensen from HR who died at Panchaea , 4th ending being the canon. Side quests Mystery Augs, Eliza Cassan's one and the Harvester all kind of suggest this.

 

[Gogeto_16]

yeah I have played many games like GTA V,Batman arkham origins,Need for speed Rivals,FAR cry 3,DBXV2 but my favorite game is Medal of honor:warfighter

 

[Gman450]

...but my favorite game is Medal of honor:warfighter

I'm curious to know what you found very interesting in MOH Warfighter. Personally, I thought the story and campaign was very forgettable. I don't agree with the critics who gave it a low score though. It just felt like any other shooter game for me.

I've played through Modern Warfare 3. I've played the other two in the series and this one was good. If I compared them all, MW1 is still my favorite, followed by 2 and then 3. For some reason, this game wasn't running at a solid 60 FPS for me. It was at most 45 FPS. The GPU usage was really low too. So that kinda affected the gameplay for me. All the mechanics felt a step down from the previous two games. It felt....rusty.
The graphics were meh. I'm glade they finally updated the engine.

 

[Deleted member 217926]

I played Medal of Honor but I usually never buy those games unless it's part of a Humble Bundle or similar deal. The single player campaigns are always really short. Same with the Battlefield series.

AC III = yawn. Just can't get into it.

Ready for this:

bro that game was released in 2012 if you compared it to 2012 games then MOHW is the best

 

[Deleted member 217926]

That's a bold statement. 2012 = Mass Effect 3, Dishonored, XCom: Enemy Unknown, Max Payne 3, The Walking Dead, Far Cry 3, Borderlands 2, CS:GO, Spec Ops: The Line, Sleeping Dogs.....Whew, 2012 was amazing.

 

[Gman450]

Yeah, like anort said there were some really good games back in 2012. MOH Warfighter doesn't stand out at all compared to those.Apart from comparative judgement, what did you think of the game? What stood out the most to be the best game for you?

Yeah, most FPS games have mediocre campaigns and sometimes below average.

I just saw that gameplay trailer. Like I said before, it seems so much less planar than previous games. Looks like there are tons of ways to annhilate your enemies. It looks really cool.

 

[Deleted member 217926]

I've been sitting around wishing I had something to play until Andromeda and I completely forgot I had bought Dragon Age Inquisition: GOTY Edition in the Origin holiday sale. Sweet. 😛


And what reminded me I had it was seeing that it's on sale right now for $6.23 USD if you buy it through here:

https://slickdeals.net/f/9790843-dragon-age-inquisition-goty-edition-pc-digital-download-6-25

I think I paid $15 for it. 🙁

Still, nice to have something to play. I loved Origins and DA II was decent just overly repetitive.

okay leave that

 

[Gman450]

I've got Dragon Age Origins in my origin library that I haven't downloaded yet. I got it back when it was available on 'on the house'. I'll think of playing it sometime in the future. I've never tried any of the dragon age games.

 

[Deleted member 217926]

I really liked Origins. Enough that I played it at least 4 or 5 times all the way through. The character development and story are almost as good as Mass Effect 2 in my opinion and you know how much I like my Mass Effect games. It's another game that the DLC really adds to as well.

Dragon Age II is worth playing but they really killed any replay value by reusing the same areas over and over so that it just gets boring. It's also not about the same characters as DA: Origins.

You guys need to play those older games before you get too spoiled by modern graphics. LOL

Pong rules! I actually had to write a Pong clone for a class project on an Apple II+. It worked exactly the same way, except I don't think it kept score.
