I am rather worried about the tactical layer after this build. One crabman manage to fire a grenade, your soldier's weapon breaks. Have 30 crabmen with grenades at the same time, you either kill them all before they fire a single shot or you lose the mission. So you build your squad very quickly to be able to clear every visible enemy every turn. With an Assault-Berserker and just a bit of planning, you can clear a nest on turn one. But you kinda have to, as otherwise the AI will do the same to you. I fear there may be something fundamentally wrong in the system how different target areas have their own HP. At least in this implementation. There currently definitely is something wrong with enemy diversity. Hopefully they will at least diversify the weapons wielded by tritons - let all tritons from the same nest have the same mutations, but do have them carry different guns. 30+ tritons all with shotguns or all with pistols is boring (more so if they all spam mist) and makes the game look poorly made/thought out, when it can't differentiate between mutations and tech. Overall, the current build gave an initial positive impression that quickly turned to dissatisfaction. And I was surprised to see how much negative sentiment there was in Discord. There doesn't seem to be a single person in there who is happy with the current combat.

Should be able to gift it to their email address.

I remembered my Uplay password as I was resetting it. Same for Epic. I reset my Origin password but have an inkling I may have reset it to what it was.

Isn't that pretty much every war with Russia?

I'm playing "remember my username and passwords for all those launchers, so I can connect them to GOG Galaxy 2.0"

More importantly, it got Cat Quest.

ES isn't slow. At least not the way I used to play it At the time it was one of the better 4X games. Of course now there is ES2.

That black stigmata? It's in Melusina's screenshot as well. I figure it is the plot device to turn you into the game's protagonist.

Try dominions, you will do all that and read a very long, detailed manual. By the time you are done, the new game in the series will be out.

The Mindfragger? Annoying critter that skitters towards your soldiers until it gets close, then it launches its own head at your soldier's face, its body dying in the process. While it is wrapped around the head of the soldier it mind controls them, so you have to shoot it off. Ideally you have the sniper nearby to take it off with a pistol shot and not hit the person. In this case the sniper was attacked, so assault rifle burst had to do

It just wants a (face)hug

Running low on materials in Phoenix Point. Soon I'll be out of ammo and will have to punch my enemies.

Now I need to get everyone a magazine subscription so they can fight effectively:

Yeah, everything was fine with the previous builds. But the new build adds a lot, so who knows what they did that causes this. The cool thing is: they properly added the other factions, so you get to recruit the non-standard-xcom fighters. Also they added research and stuff.

Backer Build 5 is so badly optimized, it is scary. Yes, it is just a beta build, but seeing how previous ones were actually playable... Firing up the game takes me 8 minutes of staring at a black screen. Loading an existing game... no idea. I gave up waiting after 15 minutes. What is there is fun. But waiting for this build to load may end up the same as waiting for the December release.

Not excited that in any talk about the game the developers never mention the original. All descriptions (I know, written by marketing) are done in a way that makes it sound as if this remake was an original idea. Also was not a fan of Dungeons (1, never tried 2 or 3), but not filled with confidence when the new Startopia is done by a developer who only seems to be rehashing old Bullfrog (Startopia was Murky Foot, meaning former Bullfrog devs) work, and now published by Kalypso who are only surpassed by Paradox in their DLC flood.

Nice try. But we know now, so none of us believe you, liar.

Trust don't live here anymore.

Wait, you... have been... LYING TO US? This WHOLE TIME? I thought we could trust you... I thought we were friends...

Your princess will most likely not be in this one, but have fun storming it non the less.

A recruitment poster that speaks to my best qualities!

If Morrison is becoming the definitive Dragon Age experience, they are probably letting you romance the boss fights.

Mutant Year Zero free on Epic Store for those brave enough to use it

I don't visit the forum for a day and it goes down the drain.
