Re: Games Discussion Thread
No customisation and no editor? The feck? That doesn't sound right at all.
I loved the customisation stuff in the series. I always wanted them to add a little bit more, not take it away. I made a fair few custom fictional worlds, my favourite being a large scenario map based on Kharak from the Homeworld series. It had all the historical clans, the gigantic desert to fight over being the first to cross successfully, custom units I stole from a different mod and all sorts. The mothership project was the final wonder required to win the game. And civ5 has taken this kinda stuff away?
The "praise (...) every other reviewer in the world is doing." had better be good. '_'
Also, yeah, Red Faction Guerilla was a load of fun. I said that a few months ago. It was kind of hilarious how "your character" invariably develops a strange hatred/destructive love of any interesting architecture throughout the course of the game. You'd be driving along, and suddenly skid the truck to a stop because you saw an "interesting" building or structure of to one side. I remember ploting that large bridge in the wasteland zones downfall for a long time. Things like driving one of those heavy missile tanks right up the stairs to the government plaza, and smashing it through the front door are of course awesome too. I think my favourite side missions have to be the defence missions. Or at least latter on when the enemy started coming at you with the more advanced weaponry, so that even the small arms fire would slowly shred and blow chunks out of buildings. I always liked to walk around the building afterwards and try to evaluate myself just how usable/trashed it was in a more real sense. (as opposed to the % rating you get)
Hadn't heard the song, tis fun too, though I'll actually say that the video is rather lame. Spends far to long killing civies and not enough time smashing things. All in one tiny area too. Also strangely bugged me that he never once used a vertical swing throughout the whole video.
Edit: Also, getting comically killed whilst doing the "cool guys don't look at explosions" thing, by taking a random fluke piece of office furniture to the back of the head as it came back down from orbit. Stuff like that. It may have made me fail the mission seconds before the mission complete screen would have showed, but I love it anyway.

cause that sounds like such a setup for said sister to either snuff it/get captured.
