:cool: A few more months, then it might be time to go hunting for my Kotor2 cd's again.

You're Hungarian, but you don't know who Otto Skorzeny was? Perhaps they are trying to forget their past :D SS Obersturmbannf

Point is, you can make a game that is aimed at a group of people who has some very different expections from what the developer would like to do. MOO fans weren't really thrilled about MOO2, but they didn't exactly go on a religious crusade to have it banned from stores. MOO3 however, was so vastly different that it didn't appeal to old fans, because it was part of an established (sort of) franchise it didn't really appeal to new fans. Of course it didn't help either that it was a crappy game. Sometimes I do wonder what the heck Bethsoft wanted with that licens (besides subsidise Herves FOOL project) :cool: Odds are, the crowd of people who like that glorified diablo clone called Oblivion would have kissed the ground that Todd & Co walks on if they had just announced that they are doing a grungy sci-fi version of Oblivion and few people would have been unhappy.

Does Master of Orion 3 ring a bell...?

As long as they deliver a game that has plenty of brothels, gratuitous sex, violence, gore, 50'es retro sci-fi feel viable alternative ways of solving problems, I won't object too much. What scares me is the writing capabilities and design decisions that went into Oblivion. It just doesn't inspire a lot of confidence yet. It would be more fun to whine if they had actually revealed anything about the game besides it's not going to be "not what we do best" or however that quote went (almost as ominous as a death threat).

...having visions of of fast moving armoured assault vehicles, armed with huge nozzles spraying superglue on the crowds... Gives new meaning the the term *Freeze! Don't move!*

I remember Pariah from Fallout 2. Bad dog, baaad dog!....

A Mac or Linux game console? It's not like you can get them to produce games for pc's en masse anymore. That being said, I think I'll go out and buy myself an extra Windows XP Pro next payday for my current WIP computer. Better grab them while they are still there. I'll wait a few years before seriously considering Vista.

Who needs to understand what they are saying anyway? :D

I find Dimitris kind of "Spooky". Like somebody trapped inside their own brain, searching for a way out. Go towards the bright light...

Looks like a Magyar version of Monty Pythons "Eric the Viking". Without understanding the language, it's a bit hard to evaluate the humour, be it good or bad

I remember this tactic being especially effective. For all their hard shells, they've got brains like... lobsters Unfortunately I just got around to build my first M.C. lab, so it's going to be months before I develop sufficient M.C. skills to rely on it to work. Once it does however, bases become somewhat easier as you can have quite a few those lobsters fight it out amongst themselves before putting your men at risk.

I can run it but it doesn't play very well. Sometimes it's superspeedy(don't ask me to use Turbo or crap like that, I won't) or uncontrollable, etc. I was able to run it ok with DOSbox a while ago but I don't like it. Is there a version built for XP, like on a CD or something? There was a special windows 95 version released quite a while back. I was lucky to find one in a bargain bin. Together with a "hack" (actually, a loader for the main exe file) from the net which also has to be run in compatibility mode and WDMSound it runs nicely on Windows XP Pro SR2 Edit: Come to think of it, it might not have been bargain bin. Darn, It's too long ago >_

Fascinating. The seeming scale of the picture looks like they have gotten these down to a managable size now. Wish they would have discussed the power generation/consumption of the gun and how frequently it can be fired. You probably need a portable nuclear reactor to power it

Still playing X-Com2: Terror from the Deep Gathering enough courage to assault the first of three discovered alien bases :ph34r: Somewhere, deep down in my mind I just dread doing that. Memories from a time long ago when playing it tells me that it's going to be hard the first couple of times... Endless lobstermen, floating brains, enemy blast launchers. My poor aquanauts :'(

Been there, done that. Female Nosferatu are hot

Hanging

You would love Singapore They have the death penalty for carrying firearms.

It's still better than the new trilogy ^_^

Maybe it's spamming on behalf of youtube?

The last terror mission I tried I moved my first soldier to the top of the ramp and before he could do anything there was a grenade inside my ship. That was a horrible, horrible mission. It happens on occasion. The real fun starts once you get the "blast" thing with programmable flight patterns. You can literally level the entire area with the ground and remove any walls they might be hiding behind. It is also nice for making new entrancens in alien UFO's if there isn't enough doors already.

It's a pain, yes But usually, equipping the first guys out of the plane with a flare or two helps. Throw the in a pattern around your insertion area to light up the place and then move the rest of your team out, hugging whatever cover you can find. I've tried to use motion trackers, but in the end, I just team up my men in pairs or trios and clear out an area at a time. Edit: If in doubt, throw handgrenades over a few rooftops and through windows first. The odd civilian casualty is inconsequential.

X-Com2: Terror from the deep Grrr!... I had forgotten how much I hate lobster men. And I can't field any guys with sufficient psi powers yet to force them to fight against each other. USA and Japan has withdrawn from the project and I'm threatened with bankruptcy if I don't bring my debt below 2 million before next month. This game really does seem harder than the first one. (xcom apocalypse is still my favourite though)

Except that pasta and antipasti frequently meet, given that antipasti (or antipasto) is Italian for Hors d'
