I did not like it. It seemed rather ambitious, but the gameplay was such that I could not play it. Mind you that was a long time ago.

Is that an open world crime game?

I blame Saints Row. Before Saints Row nobody would have called GTA the "serious note".

I read "emperor" instead of "employer"... I think I spend too many of my formative years with Warhammer 40k.

Well it is a small unit tactics game, so it could indeed borrow from that franchise. I would love it with a wierd kind of randomly made 3D turn based strategy map, where you could explore and expand into adjacent parts of the underhive, while other gangs do the same. With a number of premade gangs for the AI to throw a number of them at you each game.

A lot of GW IPs seem to be getting fairly good video game adaptations. I seriously disliked the commentators in Blood Bowl, otherwise that was a pretty solid game. The Talisman game is a very good adaptation of the board game as well. edit: Here is keeping my fingers crossed for Necromunda and Gorka Morka

Yeah, know what you mean. Even though I have gone through the phase where I was telling tales of woe. Until it turned out I got more tired of telling them than people got of listening Now boh telling and listening bores me.

Thanks for the info Wals. I was affraid it might not be too exciting. I think I'll wait a while. If multiplayer isn't all that user friendly and I am restricted to playing with people from my friend list, then I may not get much of a chance to enjoy the game

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be a good idea during oral. But I take it this is why you told me you were rethinking the Israel-Palestine Conflict solution?

That's your solution for everything, isn't it?

I had played the old DOS game Duck Tales: Quest for Gold that had nothing to do with the Nintendo games or this remastered version, where you had to also fly the plane. That wasn't a very good game, but at that time it was good enough for us that it was a game I played Duck Tales on the Gameboy. While I loved it back then, I can't say I remember it all that well to do a comparison. You still play as Scrooge and you still use the cane to pogo around? Can't be of more help. It plays well though, and in the end that is what counts to me: that it has gameplay that works. If that means that someone who has a working NES and fires it up finds differences, then so be it

Playing Duck Tales. Beat the Amazon level after three attempts at the boss. Level was a bit short. But I am starting to get to that age when slightly too short is better than slightly too long

Sold quite a few of the cards lying about in my inventory. Made 6.50 in a day. Decided to spend 2.50 of those to use a 75% off voucher I had. Turns out I am locked out of my Steam Wallet... again. Because since I moved from Cyprus back to Greece end of December I haven't paid money into the wallet, only paid dircetly with credit card for purchases. I can use the wallet in the Marketplace but not the Store... *sigh*

So far I'm 50% 50% on the gamble Of the two games that I backed that released, one was exactly what I wanted, the other was a real disappointment.

You weren't around for "Most Wanted" I think. The episodic pursuit that required you to get 100 PvP kills. You can imagine why I am not touching PvP again

I also backed it at $125 I'm a huge fan of the setting and I even backed the other Shadowrun game at $105 A fool and his money... $155 *coughcough* yeah... well I dont have any other vices

I should come clear by the way: I backed SR at the $125 level Though I backed Giana Sisters at the $150 level and while I am rather annoyed with those devs (a rant that has no place in this thread) I absolutely love the game they made.

You are quoting me, not Rostere I'm seeing a game that got $1,8 million on kickstarter and couldn't budget for basic gameplay features. If I compare it to other projects, with far less prestigious names behind them, like Expeditions: Conquistador and what they achieved with for example $77k, then yes, I am going to be doubtfull of HBS's statements. Especially when they haven't been sterling in their communication. Obviously everything takes time and therefor money to include. But it also takes skill (I wouldn't be able to code a savegame system, then again I wouldn't pressume to ask you for money to make a game. I would ask you for money to build your house though and I would not tell you that running hot water was too complicated to be included) and that means both technical skill and experience with the engine and organisational skill to keep the project on track. Honestly, wth HBS I have less doubt in the technical skills than the managerial ones. The impression I got is that they lost track of certain aspects of the project and then had no time to tackle problems that occured too late.

There was some statement from the devs that a proper save game system would have required extra funds and pushed back release... Same for lootable corpses. I'd wager they'd find similar excuses for everything else *shrug*

All that mad love for SRV is starting to worry me. Not going to read another word or I'll just be readying myself for disappointment

Not what one would have expected of a kickstarter campaign that was so successfull. Disappointed. Wish I hadn't backed it.

I'm currently unlocking the abilities on Excalibur and hoarding cash to possibly respec into a melee build anyway

I'm playing a range character. So far it seems all I need to do is spam my explosive shot while leeching mana so I can continue spamming it...

That sounds familar

Playing: Divinity: Dragon Commander - enjoying it a lot more than I had thought I would. Had been a bit reserved about the concept and finally got it as part of my Original Sin kickstarter pledge. I'm starting to get the hang of the rts part, using abilities etc even though single target abilities are still a pain. Van Helsing - again I was a bit sceptical when Neocore announced this game. I blame that movie, but "van Helsing" as a franchise made me cringe. Obviously the game isn't perfect. Other games in the genre have multiple characters to choose from, more skill trees... but still I am having funa nd am prefering it over many other games of that kind. Somehow Neocore seems to always strike the right chord with me. starting Duck Tales Remastered - seems fun so far and has the nostalgia factor going for it. waiting for Wals to tell us his first impressions of Space Hulk when that releases. Also waiting for the Defiance DLC and Saints Row IV
