Ixion. This game is good despite its gameplay. The game has negative QoL mechanics, it's like they tried to make the game difficult by making the gameplay obnoxious. The simplest example being cargo ships which will go pick up a resource from a pile and if that pile has 1 unit of resource it will pick it up and go back to base to deliver it, instead of first filling its cargo limit from another pile before going back. But wait it's even worse than that. If another ship picks up that 1 unit that remains in the pile and a second ship was also going to that same pile, the second ship will visit the empty pile, not pick anything up because there is nothing there, and then return to base with nothing before going to the next resource pile. That is just one example out of many, but even taking that in to account the game is very addicting and fun to play. It's just that it could have been that much better...

Damn, this one felt unfinished in terms of art. edit: looks better with the evil genius scanalation, but it's still not at the original level.

I keep imagining God Emperor of Dune in movie form and it keeps bringing a smile to my face.

@Leferd hey man, it's been a minute since I've seen you.

I mean who didn't see this coming when MS started buying up studios. This has happens so many times so far and always it ends up being the same.

The author told his best friend how the rest of the story goes and now he is helping to finish it. I would say it's good, although you can feel the difference.

Yeah, the session time-out is much longer right now, instead of 1 hour. It resets when you close the browser, but I guess that is to be expected. Idk, why this forum is so affected by bots, or maybe the others have a more seamless solution. Why does the bot check need to be done at all for users that are logged in, can't you just do this for unregistered users?

The bigger issue is that somehow the gaming industry is supposed to turn an enormous profit margin. Whichever company has profit as their goal, instead of making a good game, deserves to fail. As far as I am concerned the whole industry can fail, passionate people will still try to make games, thus games will always be made, probably even better games.

I hate when I buy something on steam and I forget to check if it's on gog. Guess now I found out how Steam refunds work...

I'm not sure how detailed the explanation for the ending they got is, so I'm thinking they will not take much liberty with coming up with their own story. They changed the spoiler tag, now you need to put in the title and then put the body of the spoiler under the line. Possible ending

I don't think there are going to be anymore curve balls in the story. They will probably condense all the fights before Griffith in to one longish one. Do you think the God Hands make a significant appearance before the end?

The issue is how aggressive the checks are. I would understand if it was per browser session or something, but it was happening hourly.

The second one is still in early access so that's probably why. I'm in the same boat, I like these kind of games nowadays, but I have yet to try it.

It's definitely better than it was.

I think grounded is keeping them afloat.

I wasn't a couple of hours ago, but now I just got it. I did close the browser at some point though.

@SChin Can you guys chill out with the anti-bot checks, they have become extremely annoying. The checks are constant, even if you keep the browser opened, they only work if the tab is in focus, if you open multiple tabs each tab needs to complete its own check.

I can see that... Are you getting the Azure anti bot check, every hour?

Ixion. Put a couple of days in it so far and I like it, but I'm not sure if it has the legs. Maybe it's because I'm not pushing the main mission fast enough.

Wondering myself, been a while since we heard from him.

No Mercedes electric cars? Pfff...

The Invincible. Interesting enough story, not enough to replay it for achievements. The movement mechanics in the game are atrocious, to the point where they make me seasick... Luckily the game is not particularly long

Idk, what it thinks I am. Probably a car mechanic in the US...
