The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames)

[riley-o]

i don't have a problem with diablo3 being online only really, i mean diablo2 was about 1000x more fun playing with friends than playing by yourself, and there was no crossover between offline and online characters so i did all my play online anyway

so we should probably have a reeelapse D3 team

I'm playing on Medium with permadeath and right now my hand-to-hand vampire is kicking the shit out of everything.

interesting, that's the second time today i've seen someone recommend that. i also figured out that archaeologist is practically overpowered in the early game, since you can use it to boost yourself several levels pretty quickly.

my most successful classes have been dual-wielding or rogue classes. i can usually get to floors 4-5 pretty regularly (once you get past the first few rooms obviously)

riley- i'm in

See, my last game I made the idiotic mistake of speccing in Bows and Smithing (not Tinkering.) Oh how quickly I got fucked in the ass once I ran out of bolts

I've heard the Archaeologist trait is OP, but honestly I have to say that HtH Vampires with the Shield trait are downright crazy. Once you up the shields to L2, you gain a huge defense buff after getting hit that lasts like..30 turns. Combine that with constantly regenerating health per attack and knockback hits from HtH skills and you're practically untouchable.

Also, Deus Ex: HR got it's first review recently. A cool 94% in PC Gamer UK

Did I mention how fucking hyped I am for this game?

[copstache]

is there a specific day for that yet? steam still just says "august"

i tried so hard to not get overexcited for it, but it didn't really work out

[Brut]

Wikipedia says August 23'rd.

I know that feeling. I'm just playing other stuff to bide my time.

[riley-o]

i've just stayed true and not watched or read anything about it

it's been hard but it's paying off in less frustrations

wiki has said aug 23 for a few months so i'm assuming that's solid

you can watch this video, it's just a live action deal with no gameplay or anything. it's rad. watch it!

[riley-o]

NO

[Wang Mandu]

Don't be a bitch riley, this is the kind of world building video game marketing I love when it's done as well as it's done in that Deus Ex vid. Do it.

[fallbacktostone]

it's kinda alright riley

[riley-o]

et tu brente

Riley I generally don't give a flying fuck about anything but I do care about YOU, and I sincerely think it'd be in your best interests to watch that video with the stern warning that the DNA molecule they show has inverted chirality. Steel yourself for that and you should be good to go.

MAYBE THAT WAS INTENTIONAL MR DINOSAUR GRACE MAN

Okay, the idea men behind this video, plus me and my naked Power Rangers idea. Greatest sci-fi shit ever that could exist ever:



Book IT!

and yes, it was posted earlier, I just didn't re-quote anyone.

[fallbacktostone]

it's just fine people

[copstache]

you're not fooling anyone

[Comrade Slinky]

It's no Dead Island teaser...

[The Bill]

HAHAHAHA,

[Wang Mandu]

It's no Dead Island teaser...

Then you see the gameplay and...

I love how The Bill is like the worst part of his own thread

As a sci-fi idea, it's pretty damn good indeed. Total Illuminati conspiracy type waiz, but the backlash and repercussions beyond the Dues Ex Universe are pretty good. I see space Nazis. I see cyborg zombies, vampires, and Lich Kings. I see space zombie Nazi Lich Kings. I see me fucking the Pink Ranger after we are both polluted with their viral strain of crowd control but it works to their negative as it just makes us maniacs that like to paint "happy little trees" as we do everything we can to torture and control the Earth despite us being the good guys. I see a robot teddy bear that is the most dangerous mind on the planet. I also see a dinosaur. I see me delivering the Macho Man's elbow off the Statue of Liberty onto a Godzilla sized midget and splattering his brains all over a bunch of hobos.

Give me an HBO contract right now and I can make True Blood and Game of Thrones look like Care Bears and that Dungeons and Dragons cartoon from the 80's.

I feel slightly taken aback, sir. I though we were chums. But, if you are not a fan, than so be it. I'm sorry you feel this way about me, and if I some how annoy you, I'm sorry. I'm just as video games made me.
