ITT: Post good games /v/ never talks about
I liked the idea of it, but the game doesn't really go anywhere. You grind for money to upgrade your system to do bigger missions.
>>340485728If you play for long enough, you'll get an interesting e-mail. This is where the story begins.
>>340485431
I fucking love Hacknet and I really need to play this game
>>340485431
>tfw Introversion is too focused on Prison Architect to make an Uplink sequel

What's Uplink
>>340486229
Anon, I hate to break it to you...
>>340487812
Geneforge wasn't the kind of game it should have been, it just ended up being a shittier Avernum because it discouraged creating creatures mid-battle by making those creatures level up as if they were a party.
>>340487817
A good game /v/ never talks about, he just told you anon.

Introversion doesn't seem like a company that would crank out sequels. Darwinia/Multiwinia was the closest.
>>340491326
I guess so.
I'm glad that Prison Architect sold well and is a really good game. How can one company be so consistently based for almost 20 years?
>>340486229
Just get Hacknet, it's pretty close to that
God I love Introversion
>>340491475
I really need to play that more. Seems like a nice return to the "Theme"-style games.
>On 15 September 2006, the day DEFCON pre-orders were made available, Introversion spent their last £1500.
>The Alpha version of Prison Architect has currently generated just over $11,000,000 for Introversion.
Glad things turned around for them. They make great games, but I can see why they aren't broadly popular games.
>>340485728
>he never did the story
There's a big conspiracy plotline man
I'm sad this game never made it big.
Simple and fun puzzle/maze game that I've never seen mentioned once.
>tfw no one plays DEFCON anymore
Gonna dump my favorites
Is Hacknet good? Is it actually challenging? Just finished all of TIS-100 and need something new for my brain to chew on
>>340485431
That game dev deserves to be funded.
>>340485728
This is why there's a fuck ton of handholding in games now. Because of retards like this.
Seen one thread on this that got 100+ posts in the last nine fucking years.
>>340493752
I've played a few hours of it and it's not as challenging as TIS-100 but it's decent
My favorite was the portion wherea rival hacker fucks up your hacking software and you have to hack him back and fix your software using his files without your normal interface
>>340493497
What the fuck am I looking at? Is that an assembly game?
>>340494092
TIS-100, made by the guy who made Spacechem and Infinifactory
Yes, it's essentially an assembly puzzle game, not real assembly but close enough
Super fun if you like puzzle games and also like feeling like an idiot
>>340494092
Yep
The assembly part isn't the hard part though, the hard part is that each block is its own CPU that only has 1 register (and a backup register that cannot be accessed, only swapped with the register) and you must send values to the other blocks
>>340494179
>not real assembly but close enough
There is no 'real assembly.' Assembly is hardware specific. It is real assembly for the fake computer system the game features.
>>340494262
Fair enough, but I meant it didn't correspond to any actual assembly system, it was invented for the game
>>340494092
Yes, TIS-100.

Was this the time traveling RTS? Even when reading the description, I was already overwhelmed.
>>340488134
I really want a sequal or a remake.
Frozen Synapse
For all this wank about cyberpunk games it seems like nobody has ever heard of this one.
Solid gameplay, decent and thoughtful story, excellent music.
The coming sequel is a direct upgrade to the core game and looks even better.
>>340496684
Cyberpunk games are like adding water to the ocean, it always was and still is stupidly common.
>>340496826
Most games /v/ thinks is cyberpunk is just standard SciFi, System Shock 2 is a huge example
Frozen Synapse is a bonafide cyberpunk game hitting all the proper notes, with excellent gameplay to boot
>>340497056
I have never seen /v/ call SS2 cyberpunk. That said there are only really very few games that can be considered cyberpunk. At least, recently released ones.
>>340485728
>He never destroyed the Internet
>>340497170
Its always on the very top of "cyberpunk" infographics, right next to Deus Ex
>>340497303
Tell them they are stupid as shit.
Literally never seen anybody talking about this.
>>340485431
Nobody ever talks about this game and it makes me sad.
Does no one on /v/ have a DS or even emulate?
>>340497794
>Toilet Showdown
>>340493582
Only fun part is the multiplayer. The Campaign has been shit since EE and the AI is broken af.
Brigador
Best shooter I've played in a while.
>>340498745
Isometric shooter?
>>340487852

Mmmh, you know the drill guys, keep asking raid.
>>340487812
all of spiderwebs stuff is on point
I was bored and made a gateway phone.
>>340493820
can't get this to run properly. :(

16 bit colors instead of 32
Anyone played Onlink? How does it compare to original? I heard it's much harder.
>>340502346
think I didn't try that?
please.

>>Could never progress past LAN systems because of their stupid-quick detection.
I should reinstall Uplink. It's been years, time to give it another go.

No one really cares about adventure games anymore I guess. Unless you include those movie-games with no real choices or puzzles.
>>340502141
get GOG version nigga
>>340502862
/v/ shit themselves when the remaster was announced, I think you need to lurk more
>>340498745
The lighting is unbelievably good for a sprite-based game
>>340499474
Didn't this game get taken off the marketplace. Fuck and l played the on disc demo so much
>>340488461
I see it posted in Doom threads sometimes; it needs to be talked about more. Patrician taste.
>>340502648
You only trigger the alarm if you try to hack the main server or force a lock open.

FUCKING INSTANT HIT DRONES, HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO GET THROUGH A LEVEL WHEN THEY SNIPE YOU ACROSS THE MAP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Get something called Stracciatella
It's an engine upgrade that adds no bullshit but runs on modern OS
>>340504873
You do know that you can blow up your Gateway if the feds are on you, right?
>>340493059
well I was hyped as fuck about the game back then and bought it on release. However after some days it just got dull.
>>340493582
Fuck Wargame, fuck Eugen. I hope they all get cancer and die. No edgelording, i fucking mean it.
>>340493582
I bought EE because they seemed based and put out free content. Still need to play it though
>>340493582

There is only one dev team I truly hate and that is Eugen.

My biggest dream is to make a game similar to Uplink one day, but harder, better, bigger, the works. A kickass soundtrack, a very involving and detailed interface, plenty of hacking options and an involving storyline with multiple factions to join.
>all those death animations
>all that environmental destruction
>>340507298
Too bad about the controls
>>340507298
>those shitty controls
PSX version is great though.
>>340493929
I love thatall guides mention having to counter-hack the rival, copying his server files, and using that to restore your system, when all you really have to do is rename one file -- the rival doesn't delete your server file, he just adds a "1" to the end of the filename so the booter doesn't recognize it. Just edit the filename to remove the "1" and blam, you're back in business.
>>340486229
Introversion doesn't like sequels.
>>340496684
Was Prime and Cortex any good?
>TooManySecrets
>>340510568
Prime is kinda shitty unless you hated the aesthetic of Synapse. Cortex was okay but Synapse is still the strongest game by far.
>>340496065
>I really want a sequal
But there are five fucking Geneforge games. That's more than what most series have.
>>340492908
>>340496051
Yeah, but unfortunately it is complete dogshit due to both unit and skirmish AIs being utterly non-existant.
The pathfinding is so atrociously bad you'll have to micro every single unit around any obstacles manually to avoid collisions or units just getting stuck.
The premise and time travelling mechanics held tons of potential for a great game, but they borked the basics so hard that it is nearly unplayable.
>>340492908
or is it Eador?
>>340485431
>>340493820
There was a good thread about it the other day. I was surprised.I prefer Silent Storm honestly
>>340502792
On that note...what the fuck ever happened to Lugar/Overgrowth?
>>340502680
Honestly it looks like a kickass game to play and I love the concept of a corrupt king and multiple sides to winning the game. The artstyle is real neat too. I guess I wish it was more Alice in Wonderland - ish to give it more of a chaotic feel.
Dustforce.

FS-2 looks good so far
>>340498745
How long is it? I dog the synthwave soundtrack but don't see more than a $10 game here
I played through it recently and have to say it's the best horror game I've played since the PS2 days. Great sense of atmosphere and fantastic art style.
>>340498745
Looks like Future Cop LAPD
>>340516147
It doesn't have much in terms of campaign, more of a series of pretty challenging missions. To clear those with all possible loadouts I guess you might need about 10 hours or so (I needed 3 but I already had shittons of hours in it in EA), but most people spend most time in Freelance anyways, with the motivation to unlock all the items to get the lore and obviously the vehicles to play around with, which probably takes around 10 hours as well.
It really just depends on how much you like the mechanics.
>>340516784
Lots of people say that but I don't see that many similiarities. It's more complex in pretty much every way (aside from level design I guess since there's no platforming or verticality).
>Anon, you're spending too much time in your room, go outside!
>Yes mom!!

UUUUPPPPLIIINNNKK
>>340502862
Here's one that gets talked about way less than GF
I played it since you get it free off gog and expected it to be a lot more serious tonally. The dark comedy stuff and banter between the protagonist and his JOEY are good shit
>>340519274
First game I ever purchased with my own money. First game I ever saw magazine bullshots for. A bunch of the scenes from the advertising such as the doctor pulling some guts out of his patient, and Robert sitting in a control room chair aren't in the actual game.
>>340519274
I played it about two weeks ago. It was pretty good, but I have no idea why it is considered one of the best pncs ever. The banter between Joey and Overmann was nice, but it stops about halfway through the game and never returns anyway.
Also, the entire ending makes no fucking sense to me.
>I just saved this city and made friends and shit
>might even help this world not go to shit again
>but fuck that, I wanna go back to the middle of bumfuck nowhere
>because it's home
>nevermind that it was blown to tiny little pieces in the fucking intro and everyone I knew there is now dead
Makes sense.
>>340519816
Why would he stay? There's nothing for him in the city other than Joey/Ken who is currently running the ghost of the system his father murdered his mother over. The only people in the city he met for any length of time are either dead or assholes. He can't be 100% sure that Link/Ken won't go mad and force him into the chair again either. I'd take the wastelands that I grew up in over that bullshit any day.
>>340520209
Because it's kind of hard to survive in a wasteland where there are no people. Returning there would be a perfectly reasonable intro if there was some kind of community there he could return to, but it didn't really sound like there are more camps out there. Shit, just go to that other faction with the la resistance.
That being said the whole
>Will you ever be able to forgive me, son?
>Fuck you, dad. You deserve to die.
was pretty funny.
>>340520686
>Because it's kind of hard to survive in a wasteland where there are no people.
Maybe that's his point. Maybe he wants to die in the wastes with the rest of his adopted family. He went through some fairly harsh shit, it's not easy knowing your dad is the reason not only your life is fucked up but so is an entire city.
>>340493059
I got multiple copies of this. I love Nukes and there's no other game that comes close to the atmosphere of global Thermonuclear War.
and the Ultima series in general.
>>340520846
He didn't really strike me as suicidal. Let's not forget that he wanted to return there from the beginning, even though he had no idea what was going on in the city. The only reason he ever decided to go through that shit was because he knew no other way out and no one really wanted to help.
