RE: No Man's Sky

<r>I have really given NMS a chance. I so wanted to like this game but I have to admit to being pretty disappointed. I did have some framerate issues and awful hitching, but even disregarding that the game itself has issues. The main problem for me is that it was meant to be about exploring new ...

RE: So I decided to try and learn coding...

<t>Well I'll see about that. Using notepad actually seems more straightforward than Emacs from where I'm sitting. I'm pretty fussy when it comes to understanding what I'm doing. I have to know why I'm doing this, or that. Emacs may just keep me stuck at the beginning while I try to understand how to ...

RE: So I decided to try and learn coding...

Thanks Nevil I'll check them out. Auryx's description of Emacs as "not intuitive" is possibly the most accurate decription of something I have ever read!

So I decided to try and learn coding...

<t>Ever since I had my first 48K Spectrum I've wanted to try and make game. I tried to learn BASIC, but at the time when there was no internet and no one to help me I inevitably lost motivation and the idea drifted away, far to the back of my mind. I recently found a youtube series called Hanmade ...

RE: What Game Have You Bought.

<t>Anyway, back on topic, I re-discovered my old love for text adventure games Check out "Mainland" on Steam, it's a NEW *gasp* text adventure, and pretty good. The one gripe I have is that as you start to type, it automatically gives you word suggestions, and sort gives you clues because you know ...

Hicks better not be alive. Resurrection pushed it far enough with Ripley, but Hicks? Why not just bring Newt back too..

RE: Mad Max: Fury Road

<t>Hmm, I'm a little worried that it will be nothing but action. Don't get me wrong, I can't get enough of the Mad Max style of action, but that isn't what should define it as a film. They need to create that "feel" from the original films and action, as great as it looks, won't do that on it's own ...

RE: 5 things you would stick in a space sim

<t>Full first person freedom to move anywhere. No "press E to enter ship", you open the door and walk in and sit in an actual chair. Seamless transitions from a planet suface to space. Ship/station building. Basically, if you took Shores Of Hazeron and made it look and run like Elite: Dangerous, it ...

RE: Mad Max

<t>The original films have something of a cult following. I'd say you should give them a go as I think they're great. Mad Max 2 was probably the best one but you should really watch them all. Violent car chase scenes with surprisinlgy realistic stunt work. They really nailed a scenario which not ...

<t>Realm of the Mad God. Great game totally ruined by pay-to-win. Edit: I have discovered that you can unlock everything without spending money, you just spend your whole life grinding for it while everyone else just spends money :suicide: Unturned. DayZ meets Minecraft. If only I could figure out ...

<t>Never could get into Lords of Midnight, remember trying to play it a few times. Lol I think I was about 8 years old when I first played it. I had no instructions, only the map on the back of the box. I didn't get on well at all. In fact, I think at first I thought it was a really advanced text ...

I was going to say Elite: Dangerous but if Rodina won't run on your pc then I'm not sure there are many other games with the same concept that would. :dontknow:

RE: Alien: Isolation

<t>Well I finished the game and I'd say its good value for money, as long as you know what sort of game you're getting. I reckon total in-game time was between 15 and 20 hours on hard difficulty, but I did die a lot. I would avoid watching any youtube video's at all before playing as it can only ...

<t>Well the day finally came to see if another game could meet the expectations of multiple generations of Alien fans. So far Steam claims I've logged 14 hours in the game, but in reality its much less. I chose the hardest difficulty setting for my first playthrough and I've been taking it very ...

From what I can see its visually good, but is just another FPS with a similar formula as many others ...
