What video games are my fellow Alicesotians playing now? I'm currently on this game called Chaser(
https://www.gog.com/game/chaser). It's a decent FPS, but the voice acting is subpar. There are a lot of weapons in the game and with some guns you get an alternative firing mode(such as having a nade launcher on the FAMAS). Level design is okay, not the best, but it's nothing I can complain about. The story line I just have no clue what is going on at this current moment because I'm a quarter of the way in, but it starts off with you discovering you've lost your memories when you wake up on a space station and it's being attacked. The thing you will notice when you start playing is that this is a sci-fi video game that uses real life modern weapons.
If you're a fan of late 90s/early 00s FPS games I could recommend this if you get this cheap(and need something to hold you over till you play/get a better game). Keep in mind that I'm currently still playing the game and have not reach the ending yet. According to howlongtobeat(
https://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=1656) this game is averaging at around 15-18 hours.

>>1131Are you RPing with that? I've seen people play RP servers in ARMA, but it seems people moved onto the GTA RP servers since modding got more advanced. Is the ARMA RP scene still healthy?

No.1135
>>1134I only have a PC collection, but I've always liked the handheld consoles. I liked them more than any home console for sure. If I had the money I'd have a nice 3/DS and PSP/Vita collection. Do you have a big collection or do you just buy your favorite titles and pirate the rest?
No.1136
>>1133Arma has always had a healthy RP scene via the Cherno Life and Altis Life games among many other more niche game modes. We're not going to full RP with "get a backstory and stuff". I just ask the players that they act as if they were really there and don't act like it was a video game.
This helps to keep the players acting with some self preservation. I tend to just shoot them if they play like it's Call of Duty and run out into the open or separate from the group.,

if you call getting the game to "loop" and having to replay again as beating it. It's a good game and I plan to replay it again some day to see the other endings. Do you play the multiplayer for EYE? I'll play with some Alicesotians in EYE if we set up a date to play online.
No.1145
>>1136Do you highly recommend buying ARMA? I'm kind of intrigued cause there are so many mods for the game and it has a very healthy modding scene that keeps coming out with content. The only thing with ARMA though is that it seems to never come down in price so I'll have to wishlist it till I see a sale.
No.1146
>>1145There's a sale everytime a DLC is released which, unfortunately for you, was just a week ago. So you'll be waiting a while. On the bright side it does usually come down by 50% or more.
Whether I recommend it or not, well, I'm a huge nerd and have collectively put about 3 000 hours into Arma 2 and Arma 3. So while I'm considering suicide while trying to reconcile those numbers, I think it says something. Plus, I know I'd only have ever put a tenth of that in had the mods not been there.
The Arma 3 campaign catches a lot of flak from people but I thoroughly enjoyed it, that being said, we've also established I'm a huge nerd so make of that what you will. The mods are insane, everything from Crysis nanosuits, Cold War, Star Wars, WW2 and huge volumes of gameplay mods that add awesome game mechanics incluiding crazy realistic medical systems or a kind of parkour mod.
The thing that usually puts people off are the controls. But these days there are about five presets going from Arma 2 through to COD-type so you'll find something that works. Just don't expect it to be smooth like COD. In some ways I actually like the clumsyness though. It slows everything right down and makes firing and moving a more methodical, active decision, rather than a reflex.

>>1219It really is, there's a reason HL (And it's sequel mind you) is rated among the best of all time.
This might come off as heresy to some, but the fan project 'Black Mesa', after over 10 years in development has maybe hit a state where I would actually say to newcomers to play it over the original. I base this on a number of factors, but mainly due to the original's more tacky portions that are cleared up magnificently in Black Mesa. The Portal Maze, the platforming sections, the tripwire sections etc., and most importantly Xen.
Xen isn't actually in Black Mesa yet because they've delayed it numerous times, I expect this is because Xen in the original was kinda' trash, especially the last boss. As soon as Xen comes out and Black Mesa is a complete package, I'm hoping they tackle the HL1 expansion packs too.

For 15 $ it is well worth it's price and last patch was 0.99 4 months ago, meaning that version 1 is very close. This patch has a LOT of features and overall a very steep learning curve. Only negative is that 40% of the map is locked behind an invisible wall since it is not finished yet. Also, you have to grind a little bit (imagine M&B grinding, prisoner management, stats, gear, money, exploration) but it is very enjoyable and soykaf can hit the fan really quickly, making grinding exciting and not monotonous.
Also, many ways to play. You can basebuild, play stealthily, solo whatever you feel. I've been exploring the whole map for like 30 hours I've been playing without building any bases or doing any research, just a squad of 7 dudes roaming the wastelands and exploring dungeons like a raid party.
