Unexpected to see this one released 😮

I'm still not convinced Spaceventure will actually come out. It is funny to compare this to Xenonauts 2, which is the main kickstarter game I'm waiting on. That game is a few years behind schedule and people are flipping out, but it has a playable alpha and very clearly is progressing regularly, albeit slowly. I can't help but chuckle at their impatience when we look at these early kickstarters that are still languishing.

And still out before Star Citizen.

10 years in development, that's still less than Beyond Good & Evil 2, and BG&E2 has AT LEAST 10 more years to spend in the oven.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

you can in Conan Exiles, so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible here too 🤡

Alas, it's also created by Funcom, who just stuffed battlepass in Conan Exiles, a full price survival game alongside a hilariously overpriced cash shop.

Oh, they also didn't give modders any time to update their mods beforehand, so everything is broken.

Oh, and apparently the cash shop is about the only thing that actually works from their "major update" anyway (so more patches, with more mod breakage to be expected)

Oh, and you can apparently no longer play offline at all (used to already no longer be possible for LAN games, but supposedly no longer possible for single player either)

Even with a free weekend and a suspicious amount of positive reviews of suspiciously low gameplay hour accounts the general review trend has been very much downward.

I think they're probably just trying to see how far they would be able to push this predatory garbage for when they release the Dune game before they ditch Conan Exiles entirely, well, unless the stuff somehow succeeds, then they'll just milk the suckers that buy in dry, I would expect.

I've checked, the game works in offline mode (no Internet connection at all), but it took several attempts to launch it from the ConanSandbox.exe file - launching through Steam did not work. Most custom key bindings were broken. I haven't checked the mods.

They'll have to pay me to take it. 😄 Game was great back in the days, but if I remember back to all the pain and suffering caused by some of the mission design and the terrible saving (I think it was only once per mission?) no thanks, I'm too old for that.

I played Conan no issue in single player mode, but I was not in offline mode.

To be fair, every big update breaks everything and messes up mods, so I don't think it is a battle pass conspiracy. This too shall pass.

Well, can no longer play LAN games in offline mode since they added the launcher, so it's not like there's no precedent, unfortunately. When my internet drops for even a split second I get booted from my local network game...

It was a very good game back in the days, but today there's just too many things that annoy the hell out of me. However, I do plan to play the remake sometime soon, that could be interesting.

Blasphemy! If I remember correctly big chunk of Mafia1 soundtrack is missing due to licensing issues. There is a mod for that, though, I believe.

In case you didn't play it, the remake Mafia: The Definitive Edition, is actually really good and worth playing instead of the original. The story, while rewritten and recast is pretty much intact and the changes IMO are for the better. Gameplay is a bit on generic side, but it's smoother then the original. The only thing I would be wary of is the driving mission (you will know it while you get there). It's been famous in the original for being unreasonably tough, though in my opinion undeservibly so - once one gets a handle on the driving system, it's actually pretty straightforward to win. However, in the remake if played on hardest difficulty, it is what people claimed the original to me. It took me good couple hours to beat it, and had to look up guides for assistance. Just knock down the difficutly for that section once you get to it and fail once or twice.

A rather disappointing amount of robot waifu customization. Better than nothing, I guess, though it would be nice if they dropped in a few more options for the full release this Thursday.

I think you forgot about the godawful shooting mechanics. Just like @MrBrown, I am going to take it and never play it unless it's a cold winter morning and I want to travel back to 20 years ago. I mean it's pretty pointless to play it since I bought the remastered trilogy for the PS4 a while ago.

There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

great song

the dlc seems to make same old mistake paradox always does

so slow to realize how pointless 15% food mineral energy bonus has become after their own economy system overhaul 4 years ago

They've been including a bunch of origins and story stuff with other portrait types, so hopefully with this too.

But yeah, modifiers to basic resources are pretty meaningless.
