    Was just trying to show my american generosity :winky: - I can wait til after Metro and see whats on the front.

    There you have it. Well, I can't send it over until he approves my Steam Friend invite thingie.

    God damnit Helloween, you're one enviable guy. I just realized I'd likely never have two dudes fighting to be the first to buy me a game. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

    I laughed at this to cover my intense jealousy.

    Anyway, Metro is a good gift that will quite thoroughly put the new video card to the test.

    I'm going to go to Russia and develop an obscure horror game and send Helloween 17 copies.

    Beat that.
    And don't just say 18 copies!

    so, i finally got around to catching up with this.
    god, this game is rubbish... the LP is still entertaining though. if not for the exciting story
    (more or less)
    then at least for the rage and such. you know how it is. :D looking forward to brucie and preston.

    @zoidberg

    i'm going to invent a time machine and travel back to russia and develop a game about a guy who has to rescue the souls of seamen
    lol semen
    of an icebreaker. and i'll throw in pointless animals and a batshit insane captain. then i'm going to eat a ton of cheese, get terribly drunk and work on the bosses after a quick nap. it's going to be GLORIOUS!

    I'm really quite surprised Helloween didn't comment on the fact that the line "Shoot him in the head, it's the only way to be sure!" was complete and utter bullshit.

    1) Of the dozen or so androids whose heads you shot off, NONE OF THEM were affected by that in the slightest.
    2) The bullet to the head did jack shit to Weyland. The only ACTUAL way to be sure was to dump him in the fucking lava. This is evidenced by the earlier corpse-that-isn't-really-a-corpse violation.

    It's like, someone had just watched Aliens and wanted to fucking make references to the thing but had no fucking clue how.

    C'mon man, Germans don't get gifts. They take gifts.
    I jest because I care.

    We totally need to gift both these fine men with FThreeAR. Co-op would be a thing of beauty, especially if it's another FEAR 2 ending. For both players.

    Didn't crazy milk-filled lady who's 'helping' you say not one or two levels earlier that you had to shoot the androids in the limbs because it would be more effective?

    It seemed effective at tricking Helloween into thinking an android was dead and then WHOOPS SHOTINTHEBALLS.

    Technically the head may be considered a limb in this case - at least something not attached to the main body. They don't die from headshots but they still take extra damage from being shot in the head, as well as the legs and arms. Shooting them in the torso is essentially pointless.

    Well, in the movies the Androids stopped working with the head severed from the body. I guess the combat androids have redundancies in their heavily armored bodies

    I know Yutani proper shows up in the terrible AVP movies.

    Also, I sort of wish Helloween had this better rig during the Cryostasis days, so it wouldn't have chugged all the time.

    You both have Paypal accounts set up, right? Also...Metro 2033 isn't available in Europe yet. It was his only choice!

    Also, the F3AR coop idea, while delicious, seems to have been kiboshed since they both think it's a terrible idea. As a game, not for our entertainment value. It's a fucking goldmine for that.

    So... Back to the subject matter of the thread. That was a really disappointing final boss. No extra health, no real battle arena, just hope you can do enough damage in the three seconds it takes him
    to go down the stairs and kill you with one of those "Last-Level-Shotgun-That-Instagibs-You-For-Some-Reason" guns.

    Also, when that one milkdude decloaked behind him, did anyone else think for a split second that he was teamin up with the predators or something? That might have actually been microscopically more interesting.

    I thought they wanted you to charge forward and sort of kite him around...but they give you a smartgun first which apparently makes that impossible (then they close the door behind you preventing your from changing your mind). Seems like bad game design all around.

    "Make it pretty - if the player is frustrated at least let them look at some good lighting effects!"

    This game loves that bullshit disorienting pop up scares, like when the Predator threw you into the arena while opening a door, or Weyland tackles you while opening the computer.

    I think they only do that in the marine campaign. I can't recall anything much like that in the alien or predator campaign.

    Not that I'm rushing but I can't wait for Metro.

    I figure the Predator campaign should be fun too, just for something different.

    In some of the earlier sets, Helloween shot the heads off androids and they went on working fine. (At least, that's what it looked like)
