well, tether (almost any) two things together(people, a tractor and a statue, gas cans, and the list goes on from there), pull something closer(.anything that is not nailed down and that does not have an engine), or yourself immediately and directly to, well, frankly, *anything*(well, short of the contents of the previous parenthesis). And of course, there is the grappling gun. and not only are there many different ones of all of these, and you can use each and every one, but the military will also do so, growing in intensity the further along you get in this, so the difficulty increases organically) from where you can move without getting off it, go to piloting(if necessary, toss out the guy currently in the driver's seat, after completing a QTE, also used for interacting with computers, disarming bombs that may be on an otherwise-rare-for-this timer), etc. Flexibility is all over this sucker: you can almost always shoot, go to the stunt position of any nearby vehicle(car, motorcycle, helicopter, plane, boat. One of the better clones, this is like Grand Theft Auto with freer and faster movement as well as a non-linear approach to action, losing the plentiful variety and all the "personality" to characters, plot, assignments, etc. That goes beyond the plot and the humor, and envelops every aspect of this arcade title(I kid you not, stats like "x amount of kills in the last 60 seconds" will pop up on the screen). As you may already be able to tell, this is a dumb, loud, over-the-top action blockbuster in game form. And if he's gone rogue he will have to kill the man who taught him everything he knows. But before he can do that, he will have to find his former mentor, Tom Sheldon(a Texan who never saw a barbecue he didn't like), who the CIA have lost contact with. That game recently held numerous closed beta tests, so I’d expect it to launch sometime in 2017.Rico Rodriguez(cynical and blasé) is sent to you're Team America-ing the crap out of Panau(think North Korea) to overthrow its leader "Baby" Panay(I think he's supposed to be Kim Jong-Il albeit for all the comedic propaganda in this, explaining why 'no, seriously, don't worry, everything is fine' when you destroy something important, they for some reason don't include myths like the ones he told his people about him), and don't worry, use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the dictator *has* been approved. Since then, Greene joined up with Tera, the developer behind the Tera MMORPG, to create a standalone 64-player battle royale game called PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. PlayerUnknown-for help with H1Z1: King of the Kill, which has become one of the most popular games on Steam. The mod’s success motivated Daybreak games to tap creator Brendan Greene-a.k.a. I’ve sunk almost a hundred hours into the wonderfully tense mod, where a single bullet from a faraway sniper can end your game. Everybody gets one life the last man standing wins. You start off devoid of gear and need to scrounge for randomized loot while simultaneously keeping an eye out for other players and the play zone itself, which frequently shrinks to encourage conflict. PlayerUnknown’s Battle Royale mod pits dozens of players against each other on Arma 3’s massive maps. The Arma series is almost more popular for being a mod platform than for being a top-tier military sim, and like Day-Z, an Arma 3 mod helped kick off an entirely new genre. It’s like a whole new game, and thanks to Long War 2 I’ve already sunk over 40 more hours into one of my favorite PC games of 2016. Long War 2 (pictured) overhauls XCOM 2 even more than its predecessor, adding (among many other tweaks) extensive elements to the map and haven management layer that give XCOM 2’s strategy layer depth and importance sorely missing from the core game. Enemies were strengthened, new soldier classes and abilities were introduced, all sorts of new items were added, fresh gameplay concepts like fatigue were introduced, and the anti-UFO air game was greatly ramped up.įiraxis, XCOM’s developer, loved Long War so much that it commissioned the team to create three semi-official mods for XCOM 2’s launch and supported the creation of a Long War 2 mod, which released just last month. Long War altered virtually every aspect of the game to make XCOM more complex and unyielding. The original Long War mod took XCOM: Enemy Within’s long, brutal tactics campaign and, well, turned it into a longer, even more brutal war. Let’s start with the mod that I’m currently infatuated with, and the inspiration for this article.
