1. By people trying out the Steam controller it is supposed to be revolutionary and next step and it will only get better in time. 2. At the moment the number of SteamOS supported games is weaker then Xbox or PSX, but in time it will have a better selection. And we will need to see how this streaming will work. Number of good games on PC by far overshadows both Xbox and PS.
I don't agree. The game is extremely railroaded and poorly balanced. It is a weaker, boring version of Expedition: Conquistador. It is fun first few hours until the novelty wears off, then you figure out how bad and empty this game is. It tries to play as some kind of survival game forcing you to make decisions between food, morale, renown and troops but if for instance you run out of food and people start dying in big numbers nothing really happens.... I even tried to get a
You have to research tech for diplomacy (also there is a faction that cannot have any diplomacy with anyone) and once you get a peace pact you establish trade with automatically with any system of the AI you discovered. If you want to play a trade empire you want to discover as many possible planets before doing peace treaty (as you are locked out of their space then) or do open borders treaty afterwards. You customize ships in fleet screen, but you need to unlock better tech fi
I bought the Gold Edition during Steam Winter sale and the game is great. Best space 4x since Birth of the Federation. Combat is an evolved version of BotF, and it only lacks spy stuff. Factions are different enough that you need to change the way you play which is also something that BotF had. Combat is quasi real time, it has 3 phases where your can choose you tactics but you have enough time to choose and you can choose them before combat starts so you can only watch
My list consists of mostly RPGs. In no particular order: Wasteland 2, Pillars of Eternity, Grim Dawn, Divinity: Original Sin, Blackguards, Banner Saga, SouthPark: Stick of Truth, Might&Magic X and AoW III And maybe Dragon Age 3 and Witcher 3 - both games had a weak second game so I am going to be looking at reviews and streams of gameplay first this time. Before you ask, Witcher 2 has console like twitchy combat that totally put me off from finishing the game and I
Wasteland 2 beta has two Arrow to the knee moments
[quote who="Nasarog" reply="31" id="3425700"] Winter steam sale buy for sure! Going through a XCOM:EU play through right now.[/quote] You should get Long War mod for EU, makes the game much better (and harder, be sure to play on Normal if you previously played on Classic).
[quote who="louist" reply="23" id="3422088"] Anyone else finding it a lot easier than EU?[/quote] Depends. Are you (ab)using Mimetic Skin? If yes, then it is much, much easier. That is why for my 2nd C/I playthrough I am going to run 2 MECs, 3 SHIVs and only one Mimetic skin support with both Medkits and Arc Throwers :) X-Com: EU also had similar problem, (ab)using two squad-sight snipers made the game very easy. That is why for any future playthroughs I d
[quote who="myfist0" reply="21" id="3418239"] I may have to give up my rule of not buying a game at release time. FRACK [/quote] And that is a smart rule because today 1 in 20 games comes out bug free. Always smarter to buy it after someone else beta tests the "release" version.
[quote who="Werewindlefr" reply="5" id="3418081"] It's still preachy, though. Transhumanism-friendly people like me don't necessarily agree with that message. You want genuine shady stuff? We're shooting down UFOs that crash-land in populated areas, probably killing hundreds or thousands. [/quote] Which is what happens in any war. Long term you save more lives. But tech that lets Xcom modify their soldiers so extensively w
We want an updated Xcom EU because that game is better in all aspects except graphics and UI. That is only reason. New Xcom is a fine game of its own, but it is not near the quality of the original.
[quote who="Brewskin" reply="13" id="3393945"] Quoting TorinReborn, reply 7In current game laboratories are almost useless. Try Marathon mode.[/quote] Why? So I can do more boring combat missions where nobody can touch me as soon as I got a squad of well equipped and leveled up units.
I am not that excited for this expansion. For me to want to play it, it will have to have better Geoscape gameplay and better base management. In current game laboratories are almost useless. I want Xcom with reactive enemy like in old Xcom and not predefined number of events each month...
I played with Challenging AI 1) All AI players kept declaring war on me and then asking for peace 20+ turns later (sometimes sooner) just to declare war again a bit after that. I never seen a single unit come close to my areas. Even later when I was more spread out through the map and actually had their areas close they never attacked me. 2) During combat enemy kept attacking my Golem with most of their attacks although he had most armor. 3) AI kept telling me th
I love this game. I already finished the campaign 4 times and I am doing a 5th play through now with a Shaman on Very Hard (I like playing with many different classes in singleplayer RPG games). Since the game is "short" I could finish it with each char instead of get half way only like I normally do and then switch to playing from start with another char :D I love turn based combat and there has not been enough of that in a looong time, especially with any complexity (
This actually sounds great. I will then study how to remove this bullshit (I am sure hacker community will break this fast) and then offer my "repair" services to local people and earn truck loads of money :D Too bad something like this has no chance to become allowed in EU :D
@psychoak: To be fair they go shot into critical system while in warp. That is why Enterprised seemed outclassed.
I also come into this group of people that bought Elemental very early. But at that time, the game already got really bad reviews and what is more important got bashed by players themselves. But after reading Frogboy promise I decided to Kickstart future expansions before there was ever a kickstarter (I played E:WoM only enough to make sure what people said about the game was true). And for some reason I wasn't afraid that Frogboy would not be truthful. <
You forgot Legends of Dawn that is coming out soon.
Then it is pointless as each person sees fun as something different. Then it is not important which game is difficult, just fun. And if you want that answer, Starcraft 1 was always difficult in MP but I had a lot of fun playing it even with my limited skill.
Well since your title is pretty undefined, there is only one game that can possible be considered most difficult: Starcraft BroodWar.
You don't need a Demo, the video they made is so fracking epic no fan of single player RPGs should miss this game :)
I hope the final game graphics will be better. These screenshots look like they are from a 10year old game. I don't expect Civ5 graphics but it needs to be better then this.
[quote who="Tridus" reply="17" id="3348506"] Lame. Hopefully they don't screw it up, but their track record is less than awesome and they have no experience in the genre.[/quote] I find it hilarious how people forget Gearbox created Counter Strike which is probably most played MP FPS ever, not to mention as far as team based FPS goes still the best.
[quote who="AragornV" reply="25" id="3344193"] It depends on your playstyle obviously, but for newer players, I wouldn't recommend a Wizard start. IMHO, the most efficient start is Warrior. You only need one building and you can throw some cheap armor on him and usually be able to take at least one province within 1-2 turns. Exploring your home province should be secondary to securing as many provinces as you can as fast as you can. Skip straight to swordsman and healers as the othe
