I completed it today(well a few hours before posting this) and it was great. Certainly going to run through it again.
The main issue that I had with the game itself was how picking up items(particularly health, armor, and ammo) just weakens the pace of combat. It actually adds to the difficulty of fighting despite how they’re scattered everywhere. I suppose that balances out the frantic, guns-blazing gameplay. But the mechanics could’ve been handled better in my opinion.

I just want to let you two knuckleheads( ) know that Wolfenstein:TNO was good. Clocked in 13 hours, played it from start to finish.
Say what you will, but it’s one hell of a decent game.
Wolf was awesome, one of my favorite games of 2014 next to Dark Souls II.
I loved everything about the game except for the pacing. It can be a little slow-paced or too cinematic at times.
Play Shadow Warrior and Rise of the Triad 2013 next. Both of these games have amazing gunplay, and RoTT even has an Arena-style MP mode but I think it’s dead.
Agreed on SW and RotD, though in SW I sworded everything cause SWORDS
Anyone tried out the new Binding of Isaac: Rebirth? From what I can tell it doesn’t use Flash anymore so now the game is super smooth. A lot of rebalancing, new enemy types, bigger rooms (they can scroll now), a much better map, etc. A good remake even if the original and its expansions were quite recent.
BUT. I think the soundtrack is not as good or creepy as the original. Remixes of old tracks that sound more…normal?
To follow this up I was worried that when I upgrade my GPU, that my CPU would bottleneck it. Thankfully this isn’t the case. B)
The sword combat in SW is really well done. I liked RoTT more overall(because it felt more oldschool in design) but SW was an awesome mix of both oldschool and newschool FPS mechanics and goddamn was it good.
If you guys get wonky performance in Shadow Warrior turn off “mirrors” or “space reflections.” They will destroy your performance unless you have a bast rig.
Anybody know if masterchief edition or whatever it is called is gonna come to pc. About to have my build up and running in a couple weeks and I remember having a lot of fun with halo and wouldn’t mind getting that.
Also another question for some of you, how hard or easy is updating the motherboard BIOS. Just found out that the motherboard I got is not compatible with my 4690k out the box, so I can rma it and have them do it or get a cheap cpu and do It myself. I Don’t know which one I want to do yet. I really don’t want to pay to ship it back and get a refurbished board when mine is brand new…
Very little, as a PC port would look better and (eventually) have mods that expanded upon or improved upon the game.
Not to mention, there would be less money taken in since people wouldn’t be buying Xbones. You can still get the old Halo Custom Edition for free somewhere out there.
I can’t tell if Hammerwatch is fun or not. Every time I get on to play it, I get high as fuck and play with buddies and laugh as to how everyone keeps dying. I don’t know…
PC port analysis written up by Durante, the guy who shored up the PC versions of Dark Souls, Deadly Premonition, and FFXIII. All in all, very competent port that runs well & allows for adjusting essential settings. On top of that, it’s a great game at a fair price, the success of which can only encourage Sega to divert funds from Sonic games (a true boon to society in & of itself) towards future console-to-PC ports.
