I don't think it's bad, but the multiplayer is barely active in the base game, much less the free mods.
ah well thanks. I'll keep looking around for one then.

Which is why I like it. I am more of a single player guy.

There was that Velvet Assassin game. I have no idea what the gameplay is like but it's another WW2 based stealth game.

Also, I would like to take part n condemning you for speaking ill of Red Orchestra. It's an awesome game, one of, if not the only one/s of it's kind. Also, the Old Farts Roost server has players quite often, sometimes a lot of them. And I can get decent ping on it from Hawaii.

I hope you were kidding.

I sorta thought that perhaps the game is not readily available to the Asian Pacific as merchants know they can drain three times the US cost for it from us desperate gamers over here.

But I have not seen this at all

So then wonder if perhaps the story material is propositionally suggestive and encouraging in a manner that is counter productive to the mindset that the governments on this end of the world are attempting to seclude us too.


yeah, I'm a smart ass. Just a little flustered that 50% of Steam's catalogue doesn't even load up for those of us in aussie and NZ due to region restrictions.

Ok, before somebody takes this the wrong way and I get trialed and hung, I am going hi jack my own thread to get on a podium about censorship and the necessary evil that it is.

I'll make this short. I know how we used to laugh and giggle, back in the states, that all of our entertainment media had to be child-proofed before getting released into other countries but having been over here for awhile I've witnessed the adverse influence that some western culture has had on the youth over here.

So just take it from me, there's a very GOOD reason why we only have censored copies of Grand Theft Auto available to us.

Coincidentally there are a lot of liberal concepts that Japan have been raised to respect but need to be child-proofed and edited before presented to an American audience.

In my opinion censorship of games isn't worth whatever minor benefit it has on society. Culpa Innata had a dream sequence that apparently explained some confusing bits about the story. They had to remove it from the US version because there was some nudity and it would have earned an AO rating which would have made most stores refuse to sell it. The worst part about censorship in the US as far as the ESRB is concerned is that it's so utterly inconsistent. God of War had nudity and sex mini-games and only got an M rating. GTA: San Andreas had a hidden sex minigame that could only be unlocked by third party software or Gameshark codes and did not contain nudity but was retroactively awarded an AO rating. Xenosaga Episode 3 removed all blood from the game despite the fact that visible blood played a very significant role in a key cutscene in order to get a T rating. I haven't heard of any other T rated game that this has happened for, and several T rated games have blood. Like for instance Oblivion, which got a T rating for Blood and Gore, Language, Sexual Themes, Use of Alcohol, and Violence. Then it was discovered that if you modded game files to remove the female character's bras there were crudly rendered nipples underneath, cue the ESRB retroactively giving it an M rating. That's right, mangled, stripped human corpses hanging from ropes are a-ok for teenagers to see because the genitalia has been hacked off, leaving nothing but a gorey hole, but nipples... Oh no, poorly computer rendered female nipples will have an irreparable non-descript but unquestionably severe negative effect on their psyches.

Um, what are you talking about? Not only is RO available in your region: http://store.steampowered.com/app/1200/?cc=nz
But it has been since 2006.

What you experienced was most likely just one of the many bugs that affect both the client and the browser based store.

Velvet Assassin fits the bill reasonably well. Its by no means a brilliant game, the stealth detection is a bit dodgy in places and there's a few forced gunfights which sort of feel like the developer showing you that the reason they decided not to make a 3rd person shooter is that they're not very good at them but overall the game is a good bit of sneaky stabby fun and the story is kind of interesting. Oh and there's a really creepy village section towards the end, it might be worth buying just for that.

I never played the PC version and I got a good deal on the xbox one for 30 bucks a month after it came out and that price felt about right, for 20 bucks on steam... I'd say its probably worth about that.

Thanks, I remember seeing that one before but saving it for later because of the questionable quality.
I'll probably get it if I can find it for cheap.

not the best mission perhaps but gives you an idea of the gameplay

Looks pretty cool actually. I like the style.
