Wormerine Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Paradox has been putting up some Empire of Sin gameplay content that I completely missed. Still looks like a potential GOTY to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melkathi Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Paradox though. Makes you wonder if in a few years you'll buy a $200 (after 75% discount) complete edition with all the DLC.

Hopefully, even if it will follow somewhat a similar business model, they won’t go to such an extreme as CK2 or EU4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melusina Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Surprisingly I'm hoping Ambition Minuet in Power turn out to be good. It seems more gamey than other visual novels. https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33102093/ - Picky Gamer Girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azdeus Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 23 hours ago, Lexx said: I mean, if the game would play 1:1 like the original Mafia 1, then I'm most certainly not going to touch it. Like, Mafia 1 was really cool, but I still remember the horrible checkpoint system and balance issues and how often you had to replay chapters, and all the long driving you had to do in *every* mission ... There are quite a few areas that would profit from improvements. Sure, improvements can be made, like not having a checkpoint system but that driving is part of what made the game great in my opinion. I loved having an open world as set dressing rather than a gameplay feature, I loved being on the watch for cops, deciding wether or not to risk running that red light at 80km/h. I don't know what you mean about balance issues though? Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Lexx Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The game was really hard - sometimes in an unfair way. This combined with the checkpoint saving needed some real nerves. I was still in school back in the days, so had lots of free time, but if a game would do that to me today, I'd stop playing it after a few hours. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

213374U Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I was interested. I've been interested in a SW sim like the ones by Totally Games since, erm... 1999? Guess I'll have to keep waiting. The silver lining is that since it's probably a different kind of game, XWing VM won't be seen as a threat and maybe they won't get C&D'd to oblivion. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Yeah, I was back in school aswell, but I didn't really have any problems when I replayed the game about a decade later. Oh, wait... I was unemployed, doesn't count XD I do remember some rubberbanding in the driving missions that annoyed me, at times it seemed like the antagonist gained 200hp and racing slicks on you, but other than that I felt it was decently challenging but not unfair, atleast when it came to the shooty bits. 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Hurlshort Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Squadrons looks like it will be 5 on 5 battles.

A bit too early for pessimism, perhaps. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

They may be trying to cover all bases and that's never good. A bit too early for pessimism, perhaps. It's never too early! But realistically, EA hasn't nailed a good single player campaign in awhile, so I would say pessimism is the right approach for me. I'd be glad to be wrong, but I wish they'd separate these games. Battlefront doesn't need a campaign, focus on making it the best multiplayer game possible. If you want to tell a good story, keep it single player and make that the main focus. edit: Rockstar does this well, I think. They start with the single player story and build everything around it. Then they develop the multiplayer mode around the engine and art assets, and really don't work on it fully until the story is done. But then again, many would say the multiplayer suffers because of that focus. Edited June 15, 2020 by Hurlshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
