Crew 3: Road Warrior(s)

This is the Battlefield experience players have been asking for since Bad Company 2, and that has been ignored by AAA publishers for a solid decade. BF4 is the last installment that even tried to replicate this experience. Well worth the price of admission.

To be frank, I'm not really sure where I went wrong...

Chock-full of hardcore smut for even the most jaded gamers.

You’ll probably want the unseasoned patch.

It has everything.

Everything...

You should probably buy it.

Literally POG DLC.

Napalm, punji traps, and PTSD. Rising Storm 2 has everything you'd expect from a Red Orchestra game and more!

Welcome to the Jungle!

difficulty settings are for P*SSIES!

Explore dungeons, pick fights with well-armed paramilitary organizations, and get plastered all along the way in this classy, less pretentious Fallout 3 spoof!

WASTED is a fun, abide occasionally stupid, FPS dungeon crawler with RPG elements. In a world where only the biggest, dumbest morons survived Reagan's nuclear annihilation of the world, you, the player character (Either your own custom starting character, or a random waster who has "commandeered" your previous character's shack and possessions) are on a quest to get plastered with irradiated alcohol, which will give you a mutation (Perk), or "Hangover" which may or may not be positive. To get the booze, you have to dive into a dungeon, or "Cooler" to get that sweet booze, fighting raiders, angry mutants and, again, Paramilitary organizations who have every reason to kill you. You need to reach the floor exit as fast as possible, because if you take too long, a Purifier (a 600 health, power armor clad murder machine with a minigun) will spawn to murder you, and everyone/thing else on the floor.

The game has randomly generated dungeons, with random routes, enemies, and item spawns. However, because each floor coincides with a specific area of the cooler (living quarters, storage, evacuation area, ect.) those floors will draw from the same level assets. This can make multiple dungeon runs quite repetitive, as there is a real incentive to cut short cooler runs to store particularly valuable loot, or because you found a hangover that is particularly good, or fits well into your character build (which sends you back home, where you then start over again from the first floor on your next run).

There are also random "buzzes" (temporary buffs/debuffs) which can be obtained prior to, or during a cooler run, and can be anything from stat boosts to having your cross-hair hidden. The unmarked flasks inside the dungeon are a particular source of rage in WASTED, as it's safer to ignore the flasks then to risk getting a crippling debuff, particularly on a character you like. This is on top of the already difficult game, where enemies, despite intentionally being stupid for your own entertainment, can do some smart-ish stuff that might kill you (like swarming you with suicide raiders).

The story is charming, in a stupid way, and the combat is fun, but the repetitive nature of the dungeons and the frustration that can result from a crippling debuff or sudden death can act as a serious turnoff for some players, but if you don't mind either of the above issues, WASTED is a fun dungeon crawler with a charming take on nuclear annihilation.
