Picked it up in the sale, and forgot just how much I missed it; I had a disc copy years and years ago but for ease I bought the full series on steam for pennies in the sale.
Me and a mate were discussing the AI, and we reckon it's due to games no longer being 'corridor' shooters or having non-static or open worlds. It's a lot easier to implement flanking behavior when the world's layout is 'baked in'. It's still absolutely fantastic to see in action, and as @J4MES OX4D mentioned, I've found myself caught out more than once already.
The sound design of the first game especially is still unmatched. Even the SMG feels meaty as hell. Not to mention the sounds for ambience (that disonnant tone and radio static 'marker' sound before/during spooky things STILL gets to me like nothing else). -

Todd Howard be like ''Starfield is 16 times the detail of Skyrim'' then we find out the game runs on the New Vegas engine🤣
Honestly, that same engine goes all the way back to Morrowind. I'ts just been built ontop of for literally decades but it still has very similar jankiness the whole way through. And to be quite honest, I wouldn't entirely mind, as it's very good for mods.

I'm awaiting this with bated breath.
I've been wanting a 'casual' space RPG for ages now. No Man's Sky had that inital wonder of exploration that I'm craving, but the effect very quickly wears off due to its shallowness by virtue of being a proc-gen game. If you see one ruin, you've seen them all. So for a game to (hopefully) have hand-crafted planets/locations etc but be somewhat casual along the lines of The Elder Scrolls, I'd be very happy. -
I can barely make out how they sound anyway, the sides/distance callouts make far more sense for me when I've been shooting them.
I'm happy sticking with 'near, far, wherever you are'- GazzaGarratt and RenFengge

There's a special magic when you're deep in a cave system, and your flares finally die down. Just you, a gunner, and your buddy, an engineer, frantically finishing off some pipes going to a pump. The blackness is lit only by the red glare of the searchlights on your engineer's sentry guns, swinging over the empty tunnel ahead. Nothing. Then a noise, and the searchlight swings back, revealing a horde of alien bugs crawling on the walls and ceiling towards the two hapless dwarves in their territory.
"Rock and stone", you mutter under your breath as your minigun starts to spool up.
--------
Deep Rock Galactic is a team based shooter/survival game featuring dwarves in space. A game where you go America on alien biomes to pump out a load of liquid ore. A game where everyone frantically tries runs rings around a massive beastly boss that is very angry at you. A game where you can drink beer and dance during downtime in between missions. A game where, sometimes, you might just have to leave people behind to the alien hordes.
I picked this up last week and quite honestly, I did not expect to like it (or play it) as much as I have. It's a fantastically well done game, from the ambiance of pooting a flare through a massive cavern to reveal aliens and/or minerals in the moving pool of light, to the synergy between classes and their abillities but yet still balanced enough that you could go ham with a team full of gunners and still get the job done.
There are four classes in Deep Rock; Gunner, Engineer, Scout and Digger. There's miniguns, flamethrowers, slow time grenades, zipline launchers, platform launchers, sticky flares, and tons more. Certain classes and equipment can complement others, such as the Engineer with the platform launcher and the Gunner with the zipline launcher if there was a huge chasm to traverse.There's perks to unlock to use across your classes, equipment to unlock specific to classes, clothes and beards (literally) to unlock; plenty to keep you going!
Also the beards have physics.--------
Deep Rock Galactic is 35% off at the time of writing, until Sunday 14th! -
Can confirm that the game is a lot more stable. Still destroys my i5 from 2012 like (pinned at 100% usage), but at least the game isn't crashing every 15 mins!
Been having a few profitable nights this week doing bounty hunting, item recovery, couriering etc. -
Yep, I just need both eggs after Golgoroth.
Would be up for this! I'll be nice to see LW again. -
Event Title: Last Wish 2: The Wishening
Event Author: Bluebear
Calendar: Destiny Calendar
Event Date: 10/29/2020 08:00 PMAlright, time's a ticking.
This Thursday will be on one of the last surefire chances I have to complete the Chronicler seal.
Next weekend is a no-go, and I'm uncertain about the week after (the last week of the season), so I would prefer to do it this Thursday.
Please RSVP if you are able to do it and are willing to help me out.

Event Title: Full Last Wish - Sunday
Event Author: Bluebear
Calendar: Destiny Calendar
Event Date: 10/25/2020 08:00 PMThe previous one never got off the ground so let's have another crack at it.
Will probably be best to do this as a full raid (all encounters), as the eggs would only add a small amount of time on and I think people want a chance at 1k voices as well.

Event Author: Bluebear
Calendar: Destiny Calendar
Event Date: 09/13/2020 12:00 AM to 09/20/2020 12:00 AMWe have a few guys needing to do a Prestige Leviathan for various things (Acrius catalyst, armour sets etc), so I want to make a big push to try and get it done this week.
I'll be available every evening apart from Friday; post below what you can do and we'll try and work out a day that we can lock down.

I adored this game back when it first released on PC. The writing was fantastic (hello House of Ballards), and while parts of the gameplay did feel cookie cutter, as a whole I felt it was a good game.
Had my eye on the Re-Reckoning ever since it was announced; hopefully picking it up end of the month with my fat 50% discount for owning the original on Steam! -
I need to do:
- The reprised Savathun's Song to get Thorn.
- Prestige Levi for Acrius.
- Zero Hour for Outbreak Perfected catalyst.
- The Whisper for the Whisper of the Worm catalyst and the ship.
And I need to find and start the quest for Xenophage and to start doing the quest for Divinity.
Aiming to do some of these this weekend and next week if anyone wants to help me out?

The worst part about this list is realising that all the games you think are good are actually older than ten years and holy shit I'm 30 now.
Will do a list for later.
-
Hola, I'd be up for raids
-
Won't be able to do Wednesday unfortunately. What about Thursday or Friday?
I also need to do Scourge...
-
I'd love to get Scourge of the Past and Crown of Sorrow completions. Those are the major things holding me back from getting the seal.
Star Citizen Night?

As the title says, shall we have a night in the 'Verse at some point? Especially with 3.14 looming and the arrival of Orison and the Crusader rework.
