was Wolf New Order by iD? I had it in my head that someone else did it.
Haven't played Rage. I have about £22 in Steam credit but nothing in the sale's made me feel like I MUST HAVE IT so far. Maybe it's the season, too hot to game.
Aye, you're right. It's by Bethesda and MachineGames, but uses the id tech engine - just like Rage does... if not directly an Id game, it retains a kinship. It's in the sale for £1.99, so like Smiffy says, it's worth a punt if you're looking for something new to play.
My eldest has been hankering after Lego Batman 3, so gonna get that as it's a fiver at the moment. Apart from that I'm not interested in much at the moment. Might get a song pack for Rocksmith, some of those are on sale at the moment.
Oh, I've got Wolfenstein already. And the expansion! Should really play that a third time.
I'm seeing you quite a bit (and other teh cats) in game on insurgency but on account of my steam is fuxored (I have to launch outside steam, steam has to be running, go figure) can't establish an online game presence.
:C
Haven't played Insurgency in sometime, I'd like to give it another bash though.
Installed it (17G, 4-hour dl for me) and took it for a quick spin at 1920x1080 res, textures low. It ran pretty smooth though I did get a low memory warning at one point and it exhibited the texture flashing which seems related to aggressive culling. Can't say it was that bothersome. The scenery is pretty good but also kind of cartoonish like that western-themed shooter I tried out last year and since deleted and otherwise forgot. The motion is a tad unreal, and the story thus far hackneyed. I turned the sound down too low to hear much of anything except some inane dialogue by my driver and guide. I got a gun, and a mission then I quit.
Played a few more minutes. It went back to the beginning so I started it up and went and watched tv while it repeated the by now tedious opening cut scenes (no way to skip those apparently). Then, armed with a pistol and an atv I went off on the mission. So far no serious technical glitches despite two repeats of the out of memory warning (which I just clicked through). The graphics and action are remarkably similar to Call of Juarez, though I would put graphics a notch better here. The gunfights are relatively easy even when facing three opponents (I guess I'm on the default 'Normal' difficulty setting). The dudes who rush you with knives and clubs are trickier, and one got me in the end. The Mad Max comparison is holding up fairly well as the opponents are all mohawk-sporting maniacs and bandits in a dusty canyon.
Re: steam sale generally; there were good savings to be made in the VR collection. I bought Keep Talking & Nobody Explodes, Pierhead Arcade , Kodon & VR photo viewer. I have already created an uncanny simulacrum of my front room, viewable with the HTC Vive in my front room...
