We waited a long time for a fourth Thief sequel. Buy the fairly cheap Combined Operations package on Steam, and you’ll gain access to the quintessential multiplayer survival game: predicated on the tango of trust and suspicion danced by real human beings in a virtual post-Soviet state. There’s a best-selling, standalone game available now, of course, but there’s a compelling argument to be made that the Arma mod remains the most complete version yet. It’s still missing the game’s closing chapters on Xen, but if you can live without the giant baby boss fight you’ll find lots to love in this expanded, more detailed rendering of Gordon’s old workplace. Nearly a decade, a couple of Vapourware Of The Year awards and a mammoth effort from a 40-man team later, the mod was released as a standalone download. It’s a simple idea with obvious appeal: Half-Life 1 in the Source engine. The game has been so utterly transformed under his direction that there are now two versions of the patch available: a basic version that sorts technical issues, and a ‘plus’ mod. Most of it’s been led by analytical chemist Werner Spahl, who has not only cleaned up glitches but dredged up half-finished quests, weapons and characters – eventually reinstating whole levels and recruiting fellow fans to record new voices. Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines Unofficial Patch 9.3Īnother exponent of the proud fan tradition of fixing wonderful western RPGs rushed to release by their publishers, Bloodlines’ unofficial patch represents 10 years of post-release support. More than that, the mod dusted down ideas found in the game’s code – including a ditched organisation and the entire droid planet of M4-78 – for meatbags like us to enjoy. So they did: recruiting a team and setting about squashing the bugs in Chris Avellone’s anti-jedi journey through the galaxies. “Stop your moaning and finish it yourself”. Obsidian’s sequel was inspired, yes – but it simply wasn’t finished.
Stoney and Zbyl2 were among KOTOR 2’s early detractors. The Sith Lords Restored Content mod (Knights of the Old Republic 2) DSFIX is also a platform, providing a structure for other modders to replace textures. His mod tackles restrictive resolution and framerate limits, and allows UI-scaling to better fit high-res monitors.
They did their best for the release – and luckily for us, Durante took up the torch afterwards. From Software, bless them, had never worked beyond the consoles before. But, though the rallying call for this wildly successful mod might have been realism, that’s really a misnomer – it’s a community fixated on teamwork and cooperation that makes Project Reality so vital.ĭark Souls: Prepare to Die, as it was named by the time it reached PC, was a mess. Nearly every part of Battlefield 2 that has the capacity to be tweaked has been here ballistics reconfigured to reflect real-life damage, deviation and bullet drop.
