    Starfield - Epic Shit Takes from Bethestards

    Ok, I watched some videos and the ship designer looked like fun. But you have to play a few hours and use some console commands to be able to use it, because I wasn't planning to spend a hundred hours on it. The ship designer is ok, but not great. Too many gotchas and skill requirements. But...

    best/ favorite style of exploration (liner-sandbox spectrum)

    Morrowind is most likely the best. Why? Scale, power and options. It's big. There's always stuff you can do. Start it up, go do something, and before you know it, you have to check your journal to find out what it was you wanted to do. And it's the only Elder Scrolls game you can play unmodded...

    Wasteland Wasteland 3 + Battle of Steeltown and Cult of the Holy Detonation Expansions Thread

    It's somewhat fun, but extremely unrealistic. Like, the maximum range of a sniper rifle is... 24 feet, or 8 meter. Chars can move further than that in a single turn. A char can shoot six rockets in a single turn. And, of course, a few hits with a metal pipe do more damage than a burst with a .50...

    Turn-Based Tactics Need advice

    Fallout: Tactics is a bit older, but exactly what you want.

    X-COM What genre is XCOM?

    XCOM is not a genre but a simplified and streamlined "UFO: Enemy Unknown" clone, which was renamed to "X-COM: UFO Defense" for the US market. The genre should be: "UFO clones", except in the USA, where they don't know better and call them: "XCOM games". On this forum we would call those "nuXCOM...

    KickStarter Phoenix Point - the new game from X-COM creator Julian Gollop

    Anyway, I'm very sure everyone who thinks this is cool or even great never played X-Piratez. It might not be the game for you, but it's one of the most Epic single-player games ever. I only rate Planescape: Torment higher in that respect. And a single playthrough takes hundreds of hours. If...

    I spend hours reading the threads and googling it. Feel free to disagree, or ask on the openxcom forum.

    KickStarter Phoenix Point - the new game from X-COM creator Julian Gollop

    As far as I could piece it together, Hobbes felt it was unfair that Dioxine got all the money, because he had done half the work. So he asked for a part of the donations. Dioxine refused, as he felt he had done a far greater amount of work by adding all the existing mods into an epic game (which...

    The X-Piratez download has been unavailable for about a week because some modder threw a tantrum (he wanted part of the donations). And now lots of people are begging for the download link. It seems it became very popular after the release of Phoenix Point. And rightfully so: if Gollop ever...

    So, if you're not a right-wing moron, GO AWAY! There is nothing for you on this forum.

    So, it's a mediocre nuXCOM clone. The die-hard fans love it, everyone else goes: "meh".

    Infection

    This site has a serious case of fascist infection. Is it curable, or is the plan to let the infection run its course and see what is left in the end?

    Gollop doesn't understand why people like UFO. But he is sure it was far too complex, and the graphics sucked. Like how Todd improved Morrowind and Fallout.

    Are there still people who think this might be more fun than X-Piratez or Fallout: Tactics?
