Hangout The Games Hangout Thread

How's the game, Jammin? I've been considering it a bit.

At a different note I bought Surgeon Simulator on Steam a couple days ago to fool around with, so hilarious! ROFLMAO.

It's not good, honestly. (just hilarious)

It seems like it could be a great game a few patches and expansions down the road but for right now I'd advise you not to buy it. The voice acting(which is an ever present part of the game) is really poor, the frame rate is atrocious due to the complete lack of optimization, and there are just a large number of things about it that feel unfinished.

The game is designed around two big changes, neither of which has turned out great as far as I can tell.

You only can fly one ship, which you cannot swap out for another.
You can buy and have NPC's run all kinds of stuff but your home ship is a fixed thing, and it's very small (feels like one of the Firefly shuttles). And as far as I'm aware you cannot customize or expand it. You can upgrade weapons, shields, etc but that's it.

This is probably the most serious problem with the game and I expect it will be fixed one day through modding, if not something more official, but right now your stuck piloting a tiny cramped little thing.

The universe now runs on space highways.
The sad consequence of this seems to be that you navigate space much the same way you'd navigate the trip from Baltimore to DC on labor day weekend. It's got that frustrating bumper to traffic feel. It even has this weird mini-game where there are 12 lanes arranged in a box and you slip into the lane behind something faster in order to speed up. It comes across to me as very confining and nowhere near as smooth as the jump travel in something like freelancer.

---------------------------------------------

Once those parts of the game are fixed and the game is optimized, it'll be worth a purchase but until then I'd hold off.

And I totally want to play Surgery Simulator!

You'd be surprised how many people buy the games...and that's a stupid reason since both all games are pirated the same as PC games.

Actually not as much, this isn't even a discussion. My PC doesn't turn into a brick by using illegally downloaded/acquired games, my console do. Maybe you need a reality check?

I wish my good graphics card wouldn't be defect, can't play any of those eye pleasing games with nice effects anymore.

Seems like I will keep it as a "might buy" down the road then. Thanks mate.

Do it! Only $10 on Steam I think. I bought it for 10 Euro. If they keep the same price in Dollars it's probably a little more than $10. Totally worth the laughs. It's soooo hard when you hit the Ambulance level however. Operating poor ol' Bob when the tools are flying around due to road bumps and turns makes it so hard. Once I was close to completing a surgery in the ambulance, and a syringe came flying and hit me, making me all drugged. It was impossible to complete the surgery when everything was blurry and green due to the drugs, rofl. Operating in the space levels however seems even harder with the tools floating around, looks so hilarious.

I definitely going to buy it but I'm going to try to wait until all the Christmas steam sales kick in. It's on a list with stuff like Visceral Cleanup Detail, Kerbal Space Program, and Typing of the Dead: Overkill.

Waiting for a sale on a game that costs almost nothing, how cheap

I know..

In my defense, I did just blow $50 on X Rebirth...

lol no not as much.. but using piracy as a reason to not port/make games for pc is stupid.. since the reason a lot of people pirate because of crappy drm. It's been argued many times with valid points on both ends, but let's leave it at that ^^

 

[Schabrak]

Those that pirate because of DRM should at least buy it too, but download a cracked version to be free of it. The majority downloads because it's free, there is no contest here.

Better than waiting, buying and still not playing like me. XD

OMG my ps4 finally came, I was waiting all day even (UPS driver said I was his fourth from last stop and this was at 8:20pm).
So good!

Spoiler

 

[KingOfNight]

What's the hurry for the Ps4 anyway? Is there like any good games coming on it or something like that? The awesome games for the Ps3 are still coming, so I'm no hurry to get it at all.

Not really..the games people were looking forward to have been delayed, so there isn't really much for it atm, imo. Especially now that it's reported to have so many problems..I also don't see the point.

Cause Resogun is amazing, its truly an experience to behold, you have to play it to believe it.

I guess I got it not because it looked amazing and is pretty sophisticated videogame system. But the multiplatform games look better than current gen versions do. So why wait?

Resogun, huh. Doesn't really look like my thing, but I'll give it a try once I get my Ps4...someday.

I have yet to see\hear of any game that actually interested me. When I got my Ps3(around early 2007), I didn't have a single amusing game for it. It was only until late 2008 to early 2009 that I actually found awesome games. So it did nothing but gather dust for around a year. I don't want that to happen with my Ps4, so I'll wait until I actually find any games that I like, so I can get a huge discount on them when I get my Ps4

 

[SharkBait]

Yeah I bought my ps3 when like disgaea 3 or so came out and that kept me busy for awhile. It didnt seem like PS3 really picked off for years. I could understand people wanting to wait awhile this time around considering the numerous games that launched this years and at least some upcoming.

Unfortunately, apart from HD remakes there is really nothing else on PS3 that I was interested in, so Ill probably be getting FF X X-II (but their on vita...), Tales of Xillia 2 (potentially) and pray that Persona 5 is on Ps4 maybe...

PS4 at least is my first console at launch and at least by early next year the game I really want (infamous) comes out on it so it will be hype, The Order is one Im looking forward too too, and Assassins Creed 4 as well...

 

[KingOfNight]

I guess the experience of getting Ps4 at launch is kinda worth it.

Isn't AC4 coming out like two days from now on Ps3? Or did you mean a different AC4 for Ps4?

Personally, the only game in my mind(and soul) right now is Dark Souls 2, which will be coming midway through March 2014. Any other game for Ps3 or Ps4 at the moment, don't really interest me much Though The Order is looking real good...

Assassins Creed 4 was out on PS3 and other systems on Oct 29 or so and released last week on PS4.
I guess I meant I will pick up AC4 soon. (if I can get a review copy from amzn or use some refund credits on it)

 

[KingOfNight]

My bad. I mistook the Ps4 release of AC4 for the Ps3 one.

Woohoo, my PS4 came today and no issue!

Sony has sold over 1 million PS4s in the first day.

Here are the reviews for the XBox One games so far.

 

[SharkBait]

Curious for what Ryse will be reviewed as for Xbox One.

Im surprised Crimson Dragon and Knack are the duds of both launches.

 

[Jammin]

I'm feeling rather glad Dead Rising 3 doesn't look like a must play. It looks good but not far out of the ordinary for the series and, as it was the only Xbox One game that really appealed to me, that's something of a relief. If it had done something cool with it's story mode, I'd have been itching to play it.

Now all the games that interest me are on PS4.

The funny thing is that the first game I'll probably play when I pick up a PS4 sometime early next year are going to be the Free-to-play titles I already play on PC. Warframe is a game I've had a lot of fun with but it always struck me as a game that would be better suited to console. And Planetside 2 on PS4 is going to be amazing. I may even dust off my DCU Online account just for the heck of it.
