I challenge a company to come up with this, if only cause I can't stand to see a (mostly) harmless challenge go unanswered. And make no mistake, that quote, IS a challenge to someone out there.
What Not to Hate About E3
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
If you like survival you really need to try out the DayZ mod for Arma2.
You may shudder at the idea of yet another zombie game but anything that can actually evoke the feel of a classic zombie apocalypse of hiding in the countryside occasionally risking trips into town to restock food, fluids, medical supplies, and guns is a great leap ahead from the norm.
The fear I feel from surveying a hamlet infested with walkers, knowing that I have to enter because I need bandages and bullets while fearing every window that might have some bastard trying to snipe my desperate hungry, thirsty, blood-depleted ass, (PVP banditry!) puts the legions of zombie action games to shame.
Then again you may need to upgrade your laptop....

"It was great 'cos it worked on two levels: if you had a soul it was an emotional wrench that forced you to think about your actions, and if you didn't it keeps score"
This line made me smile
Oh, and BTW my score in the end of UFO:Enemy Unknown was around 50 (even despite the fact that I heavily relied on tanks in the first few months)
Somehow I don't think that X-Com:Enemy Unknown will have same cannon fodder-y feeling.

The trailer certainly made looked interesting, even if I felt it looked like a futuristic Assassins Creed.ShotgunZombie said:
No idea if Sleeping Dogs was shown, but that's another game I'm looking forward to.
One thing I kind of like about E3 is that there's always at least one sleeper hit. For example, watch dogs.
The Wii U is like if they sought out to invent the perfect thing that I would never buy, ever, for any reason.
To be fair, he never said he disliked Halo, just that it was average.erttheking said:
Heh, I remember Cannon Fodder. I always felt bad when I saw the hill covered in the graves of the fallen.

I rather liked *most* of Second Sight. Tantalized by its description, I picked it up during a Steam sale. I stopped playing it at a point when it became less fun (when you're out in the snow). Its one of those ported console games where the slightly off-kilter 4-axis movement is quite annoying to PC users. It's actually a bit disruptive to gameplay too; when hiding in a closet, you can't be facing in a useful direction to see if anyone is nearby. I think I'll give SS another chance soon, as I'm playing Metro 2033 - or I would be if the stupid cutscenes would ever let me play.
... wait, what? DayZ is multiplayer????
Eeeehhhh... I don't need a survival game *that* much.
Ah, yes. STALKER came close, but skimped on the need for food and sleep (the new TB3D mod goes a long way to fixing this). Also ammunition was disturbingly plentiful for a place where everything had to be smuggled in. I have known for a while that I needed to add Arma II to my arsenal of games. Thank you for the suggestion.TAdamson said:

To be fair you barely see other players if you don't want to. Find a low population server and stay away from the big towns and you'll probably barely ever see another player.KarlMonster said:
There's 220 square kilometres to play in so... And those rare time where you bump into a person are usually friendly so...
Other times I've been brutally murdered while looking at my inventory due to the other guy not expecting me to be there.
I've been looting a crashed helicopter (Best loot) and heard a sniper bullet whizz past me, though "What the fuck was that?", heard the gunshot and another bullet, and though "Shiiiit! and started legging it.
Having occasional PVP happen just raises the tension. You can play it single player but then there isn't the constant fear about walking around in the open or looting the high population areas.
Or you can do hilarious shit like this:

Might be a possibility, but refer to you the GBA Link cable games for a bit of a history lesson.Sean951 said:
Also, more directly to the article, I prefer things where I can control both, like PSO's setup... I found it did a lot of good for such things. Also, I hated Halo when it was big... but I realized that, just maybe, I should've given it more of a chance, because those people are now playing CoD, which is infinitely worse...
