    Russian Kingdom Come Deliverance - Смута

    it's an shame this game is overwhelmingly bleh and mediocre at best. there's only a small handful of RPG's set during the early modern era. binging With Fire and Sword years ago gave me a taste for RPG's set during this era - and with notable exceptions like Sea Dogs - no one has really bothered...

    KickStarter Homeworld 3 from Blackbird Interactive

    the digital re-release of homeworld 1 classic is mostly unaltered except for two caveats: the yes song is gone due to copyright reasons, and it doesn't support .big file mods anymore for some reason

    KickStarter Homeworld 3 from Blackbird Interactive

    that mission is considerably harder in og homeworld 1, although it's still fairly easy if you zero in on kadeshi fuel pods and just eliminate them completely in order to paralyze the fighters

    The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

    the re-released version of Perimeter is noteworthy because it has a far better English translation and widescreen support implemented by default. the original English translation in the Codemasters-published version of the game was very mediocre and missed a lot of context

    The Tragedy of Homeworld

    i do know that the only aspect from homeworld 2's original conception that has was fully realized in homeworld 3 was the megaliths they were originally gonna be put in homeworld 2, but were eventually cut out because they could not be fully implemented well due to the computer hardware limits...

    KickStarter Homeworld 3 from Blackbird Interactive

    i didn't expect the excellent summary of what went wrong with Homeworld 2's development in your thread, that was a great read as for why i was expecting Homeworld 3 to have an actually decent story - i actually really like Deserts of Kharak; even though it's not quite on the same level as...

    i think i'm unconsciously confusing the story documents for Homeworld: Empire with Dust Wars because of some Homeworld Too comic that has been infecting my subconscious for the better part of twenty years

    KickStarter Homeworld 3 from Blackbird Interactive

    i don't mean to be overly melodramatic, but homeworld is - for a lack of a better word - part of my soul. i first played it when i was 8 or so and even then something about its story resonated with me, and its aesthetics, music, and atmosphere i was sincerely expecting homeworld 3 to at least...

    Men of War II - series revival by original Men of War devs

    moving away from the damage system that was first established in Soldiers: Heroes of World War II and replacing it with a health bar is a huge deal-breaker for me one-shotting enemy vehicles with a well placed shot and causing the vehicle's ammo storage to instantly cook off is immensely gratifying

    KickStarter Homeworld 3 from Blackbird Interactive

    there's a lot i love about homeworld 3, and there's a lot i hate about it: the gud: paul ruskay's sound design and music is still unmatched rob cunningham's art design is still fantastic, he hasn't lost his edge the interactive 'space terrain' is legitimately a fantastic idea; this was...

    Deus Ex GMDX: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v9 Released!

    i have, but my complaint is directed towards endless slightly-different variations of call of chernobyl, not ambitious soups or custom story mods like nlc

    Deus Ex GMDX: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v9 Released!

    seeing what people can do with the x-ray engine for custom story mods with a bit of creativity, effort, and patience is exactly what lead to my disillusionment with people just making endless call of chernobyl forks that just refine gameplay and nothing else

    Deus Ex GMDX: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v9 Released!

    i can appreciate the time and effort that goes into making a large-scale gameplay overhaul mod, but the western modding scene has what i've personally dubbed as a 'creativity crisis' for certain game modding scenes - endless variations of people making gameplay or asset mods instead of making...

    Deus Ex GMDX: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v9 Released!

    a lot of the default vanilla sound assets for desu ex 1 are fine, i've only seen a few games that have actually benefited from a sound mod
