Episode 53 – Whatcha Playin’ 10.29.12
We invite Chuck Moran of Unwinnable back to talk about the games we’ve been playing. Chuck gives us a lot to think about concerning 1st person shooters. Steve cures his Dishonored disappointment with a little HD remake love from Doom 3 BFG. Rich draws the parallels between Retro City Rampage and Grand Theft Auto. Finally, Matt shows us some more retro love with one of his favorite Super Nintendo games, UN Squardon.
I really hope that Steve cranks the difficulty up in Dishonored. I would like to see whether he still thinks the AI is dumb on a higher difficulty. The guard’s senses get dulled as the difficulty gets lowered. Additionally, the cooldown timers for the alert status of guards changes with difficulty.
I think it makes a pretty big difference in how the game plays.
Maybe we can get him to push himself. No pain, no gain.
Another great episode and great shoutout to U.N. Squadron a great retro gem!!
