[X] My Assistant

I am replaying Dishonored, trying to figure out why a lot of people said it was the best game of 2012. It's a good game, don't get me wrong, but the controls aren't great, the game is short, and you can't replay the game with your powerups unlocked. I think a sequel could be an amazing game if they fine-tuned the mechanics, but I just don't think Dishonored is the best game of 2012. Not by a long shot.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Liking it so far. My only complaint is that it's too easy, but I guess that's what the higher difficulties are for!

Far Cry 3
For a first-person shooter, it's keeping my interest rather impressively. Seriously, I can count how many FPS titles I really enjoy with one hand.

The problem with FPS is that they are all geared towards the multiplayer mode these days, severely hurting the single player campaign. Even Halo suffers from that effect (the sequels). Far Cry 3 is one of the few FPS that is focused on a single player campaign, which is why it's a great game (except for the tigers that kill you instantly and appear out of nowhere. There are more tigers in this game than on planet Earth).

I think the main reason is how expensive it is to design levels. Multiplayer games have much better tricks to stretch out levels over a long timespan, since part of the content is other players.

The obvious solution is procedural generation of levels, in order to generate a massive amount of content at relatively little cost. There are already plenty of interesting 2D world generators, but the trick is to bring that up into 3D with an action theme. Procedural 3D world generation is actually really hard: it's literally the cutting-edge of game design. Minecraft has partially succeeded, but it still relies on players to build part of the content (the world) themselves. The Twilight Forest mod for Minecraft gets one step closer by adding more areas with monsters and loot to explore - you might want to check that out.

TL;DR: make an indie game with procedural level generation if the lack of single player FPSes is the bane of your existence


On topic: playing the Hentaiverse for the first time today, since I decided to save up 10k credits so I can make bounty claims in the future.

I suppose that could be a reason. Multiplayer is becoming a shoehorned staple, which can usually harm the game.

It's why I celebrated when Irrational Games announced that Bioshock Infinite will NOT have multiplayer.

In my honest opinion such a staple has harmed games such as Dead Island which if it was more focused on single-player could've become a free-world similar to Fallout 3 except with zombies!

Which is what I was playing last night and had quite a blast, haha, I'm rusty and out-of-practice so I died quite a few times, twice to my own explosives, twice to Infected, once to walkers and had to restart an escort mission 'cause the person I was supposed to protect died, haha.

I'm eagerly looking forward to Riptide.

And that's what I've been playing in addition to the HentaiVerse and online browser games.
