I remember about a million years ago when LordPaul, I think it was, introduced us (probably back in NPCFF days?) to a game called Mount & Blade, which I think was in beta at the time. And many of us got a little obsessed with it. Cos it was fucking great.
And I've been playing it ever since. Because it's fucking great.
And it's fucking great. I was worried they might fuck it up and concentrate on the wrong things or something. But they didn't. It's Mount & Blade but significantly better.
I've observed that it exists and have some fond memories of the first one.
Hey! About ten minutes ago I thought to myself, "Xen's posting. I wonder what he's playing lately, actually. Didn't he have a linux gaming site somewhere? Where's that?" and now here I am and here we are.
I haven't tried the new one yet, no. Bit of a backlog, which I just made worse by getting a VR headset that comes with the added backlog of having some of my old games be compatible, Elite Dangerous is ludicrously fun to sit and gawp in, and IL-2 is also lovely because you don't get disoriented by silly padlock views, you just move your head. Other things disorient you instead, such as motion sickness.
I remember the other one being pretty funny, does that still apply? We'd get our band of merry men and go out riding and then there'd be a confusing melee and everyone would be dead.
Reminds of the Leeroy Jenkins video. Only found out about it a few months ago from some people at work. :-$ It's one of those genuinely funny things that even thinking about means I can't help but laugh.
Woo. More VR users. What did you go for and how are you finding it? I still haven't done Elite in VR :-[ Partly cos I think I won't want to leave and will never be seen again. 2D that game last enough hours.
Quest. Now it can use Link and people are starting to make wireless ways of doing that, it seems the way forward to me. Well, unless you’ve the money and space to make use of an Index I suppose.
