  2. The Unofficial 343iCF GOTY Nomination thread

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End - I've been a fan of the Uncharted series since it first launched, and it's one game I'm always willing to go back to, regardless of the entry in the series. However, with this latest release, it's all but guaranteed that my go to title will be number 4. A sublime story, beautiful environments, amazing voice work, and the same action packed gameplay with new innovations to spice it up. Now with the release of the survival game type for multiplayer, I'll be willing to play it even when the normal multiplayer gets frustrating.

     

    Overwatch - It's hard to fathom the cultural impact this game has had; spawning a thriving fandom well before release, and only growing since. With an intriguing lore, well designed, likable characters at launch and being added consistently, and a story just waiting to be expanded upon (STORY MODE, BLIZZARD. F'N DO IT.) It's safe to say this titan of a game won't be going anywhere anytime soon. (Unless they don't add a story mode. then it's screwed.)

     

    Battlefield 1 - No one can deny the risk DICE took when deciding upon the first world war as their setting for their next game. And no one can deny that it paid off in droves. As most modern shooter franchises are looking to the future, DICE dove into the past, and delivered a solid, engrossing shooter with solid story missions, exciting multiplayer, and most importantly to me... that menu music. (UGH.... So GUD)

    Y'all still haven't gotten a medkit to me. I'd expedite that if you're going to take me on missions, Especially with medical protocol. Not to mention the boost to medkits you can get after you do the Viper Autopsy.

    Also, you put my voice pack on! YAY! AND IT CAN BE AS LOUD AS IT WANTS. (You can change to The Scout pack I linked to you if it becomes an issue)

     

    Also, HOW DARE YOU NOT UPGRADE MY SMG.
     

    If you'd like any kind of editing done on these that you don't want to do yourself, let me know. I basically do nothing when I'm not working.

     

    (I wrote this message as I was watching, which is why it came out weird.)

    I don't think I've ever done a play-through where I didn't give all of my grenadiers Shredder. The armor penetration is just too valuable to pass up.


     

    Also Red, a little theory here...But say a soldier has the ability to trigger a critical hit in Overwatch fire, would your 300% critical hit mod (Improved Criticals? I forgot the name, sorry) also activate?

     

    Or was double-critting via Overwatch just a chance of pure luck Twam intervention?

     

     

    EDIT: Added the spoiler thingo, just in case. 

     

    I can answer for this. "Absolutely Critical" activates when a target is flanked, or in the open entirely (Therefore; flanked, since there's no cover between shooter and target) and overwatch shots don't count flanking in their crit calculations; since the target is usually just leaving cover when you fire. For the most part, I think they're actually incapable of criticals.

    Another great video Red. And I know you're trying to use member spartans predominantly right now, but... Your roster is FRAGILE right now. One misstep, and you're gonna have to work pretty hard to keep the roster from crumbling. Start rotating in some other peeps for at least a single slot while you're still on the opening missions.

    Hands down, the tragedy that was Alpha Protocol.

     

    I actually love the game, but I can understand people's reservations of it. So much so, the planned trilogy was canned after one title, that wasn't even given the benefit of the doubt by many critics and players. Just makes me frustrated to know that given the opportunity, there could have been a real contender in the market of western RPGs.

    60's: Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival: Not only was this song the unofficial anthem of the Vietnam War, it was written specifically about the military draft, and lamented the fact the those lucky enough to be related to a politician, or to have enough money, were able to avoid mandatory draft.

     

    70's: Horse With No Name - America: With the rising drug problem in the United States; this song was actually banned on many radio stations do to it's drug references (The Horse is actually Heroin.)

     

    80's: We Didn't Start The Fire - Billy Joel: This whole song is about world events. Not hard to make the connections. Just check the lyrics.

     

    90's: Semi-Charmed Life - Third Eye Blind: Despite the campy pop sound and happy lyrics; this song is actually about Crystal Meth, a rising problem in America, and how not everyone you see is a normal, happy, loving person.

     

    00's: Where is the Love - Black Eyed Peas: Once again, a poignant song about issues that plagued the country at the time.

     

     

    Hope that helps a bit.
