Robocop. rather fun and kinda interesting to play as law enforcement and write a parking ticket then turn around and gun down gangsters.
What are you playing currently?
- Thread starter Husky_Khan
- Start date
I've been watching this on YouTube.
I can see a lot of Terminator: Resistance elements in it.
The Infiltrator Mode? Yeah, that was no doubt a code test-bed for Rogue City: Even the animations are the same.
The Urban Enforcement Droids? They're basically T-800's, right down to the animations.
And it works. They've taken limited resources and made fucking gold.
All we need now is a multiplayer DLC where one team plays as Robocops or ED-209s, and another as T-800s. Just port the assets over from Resistance, and we've got Robocop versus the Terminator again.
I would buy the game alone based on that multiplayer mode.

I remember that comic book.Robocop versus the Terminator again.
There were games on the Genesis/Mega Drive and SNES, though the SNES is more complete version though graphically inferior because it has more story elements (e.g. a Resistance woman going back in time to kill Murphy/Robocop to prevent Skynet from existing, but ending up working with Robocop).
You can find Let's Plays on YouTube for both, and you'd get the full experience by watching both playthroughs.
Same as in the games, but Skynet was already self-aware but needed Robocop's technology/brain for reasons reasons.
Murphy was stuck in Skynet's mainframe for years, a helpless observer, until he reconstituted himself in a Skynet factory using T-800 parts.
Interestingly enough, they could've expanded on this quite a bit, with OCP products being hijacked by Skynet early on (e.g. ED-209's being under Skynet control until HK Tanks replaced them).
A modern reinterpretation now has a wealth of possible assets to use because of media produced between the original comics/games and now, like the T-1's and T-1 Revisions, the T-RIP being the one sent back in time instead of a T-800, T-850's, T-900's, T-X's, et cetera.
Heck, having random encounters instead of fixed boss types could be awesome -- instead of facing RoboCain at the Delta City construction site, you instead face a T-1000; instead of an ED-209 at OCP, you face a T-X.
The first T-800 Infiltrator encounter on the Detroit Streets? Nope, there was a 25% chance of it being a tougher T-850 instead. Sucks to be you, Player!
That'd offer some great replayability, too.
See, in old games like Robocop Vs Terminator, Alien: Trilogy, et cetera, I can see a lot of potential for remaking them as ports on existing game engines e.g. Unity, zDoom, with enhanced game mechanics and modern design elements.
The fan-made Streets of Rage Remake is one of them -- it uses elements from all the original three games into one composite game to create what's basically a complete remaster.
I think player interest in such games would be amazingly high.

Besides lamenting that American McGee's Alice: Aslyum is never going to be made because EA is made of shit and Mr. McGee can never do anything even remotely related to Alice ever again because of EA, I'm playing Orb of Creation's beta branch and Coral Island's 1.0 release.

Currently playing Cyberpunk 2077 with Nomad start, sided with Stout against the Maelstrom not because of the benefits it might entail but simply because in real life the less of a gang like the Maelstrom the better. Other game I started is Baldur's Gate 3 as Vow of Vengeance, still in act 1 with me being in the Underdark, almost killed all of the goblins in the level before, I have no intention of recruiting Minthara if I have to sacrifice the lives of Tiefling children (again, I applied my real life believe where I could, especially considering since Minthara wants to conduct a massacre so nope). I might get rid of Kagha (which funnily enough in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian it translate he/she/it "shits" if you pronounce it like that) but I heard there is kind of a stealth way to get the grove thing resolved, but frankly the cutscene where she wants to administer her own version of justice makes me want to go for the violent route option. Started System Shock as well with essentially the only thing turned up to level 3 of the enemies, I don't want to get an headache to play this one. I still have to try Trepang2 (a spiritual successor to the first two F.E.A.R. games) and Days Gone. I finished Deus Ex Mankind Divided on "Give Me A Challenge", it lasted longer than a campaign of COD and the choices mattered yes but how they mattered was dissapointing ; Prague is also a nice location for a cyberpunk setting but the degree they implemented it is disappointing, the atmosphere of a near future is much realized in the prequel, Human Revolution; still worth it though, especially how on New Game plus it feels even better to be a cyberwarrior with all the upgrades already available. Could be irrelevant but all of my copies of this games are from gog.com with the exception of Mankind Divided, which I also plan to get the gog.com copy and transfer my save files there.
Started playing a DLC like mod for FO4.
America Rising 2.
Really good introduction of the Enclave back into it.
A fee crashes but that is from me never closing tje game.
Recommend if you want a bunch of new story missions that basically add a new faction to play as.
You get a whole bunch of new cast members and interesting adventures.
New places everything.

So about BG3's companions : Astarion's the "magnificent bastard" category, Shadowheart is the kind of sassy goth chick (though the meme of her barely hitting is true,fucking respec her as soon as possible with a different subclass), Gale is the beer gym bro that has an inherint flaw which you need to resolve ASAP in Act 2 unless you somehow stacked rare stuff in Act 1, maybe recruit him last, Wyll is a bit uninteresting untill you see part of his story, didn't have to recruit him because he waltzed in the camp to smite one of the other companions; Karlach is adorable, high energy barbarian.
The only character I didn't like is Lae'zel and wouldn't surprise me if I am not the only one.

Lae is one of the less popular picks for traveling with from the data they gathered if I remember right. I think the drow girl that you have to kill the druids to travel with is the least popular just because most don't pick her up.
That is because you basically need to do an evil campaign to get her.

As @nemo1986 pointed out :
Lae is like that because you need to be psycho-emotionally with her and unless you do her quest fully, you will not see her renounce her overzealous ways.
Not to mention her culture in-lore is bloody and obnoxiously extremist, the first encounter you have with them is likely intentionally written to make the player question if it is actually the case to pity them because of the past mindflayer slavery or if they just became unbearable cunts with a foot up their butts.
I think I saw a YT video talking about a patch note giving players a way to recruit Minthara without bloodshed (or in case of others polimorph her into a sheep).

@nemo1986 @Blasterbot I managed to do the mission to rescue Thaniel to get Halsin the druid as a companion and holy shit was it difficult despite I was playing in the "story mode" difficulty, which might as well be hard difficulty and the other two might as well be harder and hardest frankly speaking.

Heads Will Roll: Reforged, love the game that makes you laugh and not just rage (damn you RNG, damn you ).
Lessons hammered home: tits are temporary but death is permanent, you are only tool to your higher ups, better live coward than a dead hero, you will be a jackbooted thug when needed. Now excuse me, I need to make Rennes great again.

I will have to have to drop System Shock's 2023 remake for a while because of the enemy difficulty setting I put for my first playthrough, will try to get finished the pre-patch 5 version of BG3 I have.

Got into Owlcat's new release, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Despite a bunch of little funny bugs on launch, like t-posing servitors in the background, the experience has been great. The plot, the characters, the combat, the BGM and sound design, all very solid. The only major complaint I have is that character progression really does feel like a test that you can fail a, as one review article pointed outt; but thankfully, respec is available on demand pretty early in the game, and doesn't cost anything. But I definitely would have gimped my character and companions had I not been reasonably familiar with the FFG Rogue Trader tabletop RPG already.
