Indeed.

In other news, no Random Video Game News thread has ever reached, much less passed, 50 pages.

Part 2

Part 1

That game had potential. Or at least the characters and the world had potential. Would have made for a great Borderlands style game or RPG. Turning it into a shooter was a silly idea.

Checking old CD-ROMs to see what I can throw out and found the installer for the Auto Assault closed beta. I miss that game.

I got a silver medal on the first legacy campaign. Accidentally created a Psi Zombie and that got killed, costing me 5000 points, leaving me just a bit under 5000 points shy of the gold medal. Got a gold medal on the second legacy campaign, but it was a close one. On the third story now and it went so badly that I'll have to restart again. I ignore the story. It's pretty fanfic level. And I keep wondering who at Firaxis thinks people like Bradford. I mean there is a Quiet Bradford mod to make the guy shut up because people can't stand his constant talking. How many NPCs can put that in their CV?

Do I need to Photoshop ciri into those screenshots again?

Obviously you are talking about assassin's creed, not majesty gold HD

Fervus is awesome. Fun fourth wall breaking. And loved the poison mushroom interaction with rogues. Similar to the ranger-healer combo.

You're not getting my gold. Hard work is it's own reward. I'm melting. Another day Krypta. Ooh, pretty star. Let Agrela help.

Why apologize? It was a good game

And Humble has a Tabletop discount going.

With the choice of name and signature we would not have guessed

You so know that is the announcement for either a C&C MOBA or a C&C Arena Shooter

Well, after Shen fixes the airship and XCOM Starts recruiting, they find Bradford hiding at the bottom of a bottle, so that would make sense

I read the dragon age ones. First one was meh, trying to name drop a lot to include stuff people would see in the game. It created inconsistencies that shouldn't have been there when written by the guy writing the game. Second one was terrible. Read some Deus ex novel. Was OK. StarCraft stuff I read was surprisingly fun. XCOM 2 was commissioned by a writer who would have nothing to do with the game. When the game came out it showed. War of the Chosen at least brought the Lost into the game that were interesting in the novel.

XCOM 2 was planned as an alternate story to XCOM, rewriting what happened. It never was planned with any sort of continuity in mind. The novel was written to show people the events leading up to XCOM 2. There is a difference. You can't draw conclusions from the first to the second.

The novel was explicitly written as a prequel to XCOM 2, to set up the alternate setting, so no. Following your logic, every mission should retcon the previous one.

It bothers me a bit that XCOM 2 basically redcons the prequel novel more and more with every bit of content they add. So not too keen on the little bit of the legacy story I have played so far. Hope to be surprised.

Finished the main story of Star Control: Origins. Now I am sitting in the free mode, left to explore the galaxy and do the one side mission I hadn't completed. And wait for the DLC/Expansion to be announced.

I doubt the next game is still in concept, Fenixp. The writers and artists had most likely mostly moved to the new project by the time we saw the trailer for war of the chosen.

Yeah, sounds like a sweet marketing move for XCOM 3
