wouldn't be much of a cameo if we told everyone

fair enough... still expect at least a neanderthal skeleton trapped in a bunker somewhere

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Just saw a banner ad for it on the forum. Apparently it's turn-based and made by people who know what they're doing? Anyone tried it?

Well their site says that they are in open beta, I doubt that the game is finished. But it's looking good, better than the abomination called Back in Action.

I tried it, it's not bad but the evils of F2P rear their ugly face. Most guns do the same damage, hit percentages instead of being from 0% to 90% are from 40% to 60%, and instead of the resource management being at the merc level, it's at the item level so you will always be short of items or can buy them with real $$. Overall, good base but F2P ruined yet another game.

I tried to play the game some time ago, but apparently it wasn't available for potatolanders.

Where'd this come from?

 

[SmartCheetah]

Anyone is going to try this shit, or I'll have to actually download steam? No real hopes for it, but turn-based PvP might end up being fun.

It's a browser game, you don't need Steam.

Edit, forgot the link: http://jaggedalliance.gamigo.com/en/

Okay thanks. Now I can't register :/

Unfortunately the game Jagged Alliance Online is not available in your country. Please select another game from the list instead.​

My friends are having the same problem as well. Weird.

Eeeeh?

she reminds me of one porn actress.. just cant remember which one.. damnit

According to Steam, the game is finally out officially. Being a free to play game, and sort of an MMO, I probably won't play it, but I'm not writing it down entirely. The informations about the game are interesting. And if you buy it like a regular game for 19 euros, it works like a "normal" game and unlocks the stuff buried under the free to play shit.

She is like an older MILF version of Pamela Anderson.

am i gonna have to try this?

 

[DakaSha]

first impression: raped ja2 atmosphere

 

[Shaewaroz]

I tried the Alpha/Beta/whatever about a year ago, was terrible back then.

 

[DakaSha]

Impressions (i havent read anything.. maybe some of these are wrong):

1. Auto fire can only hit one enemy - Confrmed in chat.
2. Shooting in general has no random element to it that permits it to hit something else, other than the thing you aimed at
3. Walls blocking objectives that you must destroy with bullets (and miss point blank)
4. Objectives that look like any other objective but then unexpectedly spawn enemies when touched leading to cheap 'deaths' (aka ways to get you to blow cash on medpacks)
5. No weapon customization. No scopes, silencers or any attachments in general. at least from what i can tell so far
6. Rape of Ja universe
7. Braindead ai. Worse than Ja2
8. Tiny maps with A - B linear approaches
9. No going prone. Only ducking
11. You cant see over cars. They block vision like a wall lol!
10. Incredibly retarded character customization. Worse than many D&D CRPG's. You are going to pick the same stats pretty much every time. It's the equivalent of always picking strength for a fighter and putting intelligence as low as possible in D&D (and you have to pay to level up lol!)
11. Cryptic as fuck gear stats (Interrupt bonus? Wtf is interrupt bonus? Does it cause me to interrupt more? Does it negate interrupts? Is a big or low number better? The redshirt description says it makes you stick out and that only the brave would wear it.. is this fluff? Does it have a mechanical effect?)
12. I'm getting tired of writing. There is more

Bonus Complaint: Apologist retard community claiming that 'this is what the new XCOM should have been!' despite this being literally the same fucking thing.. an extremely dumbed down modern version of an amazing game. Only this has a much smaller budget



Having said all of that i havent gotten to the Multiplayer aspect yet (because 'impression' 13. Forced single player before being able to play multi) and i can honestly imagine it being pretty fun, if just because there is no other f2p tactics game out there with a large community. Maybe, just maybe if you can ignore the jagged alliance part and just enjoy it for what it is, the multi may be pretty cool. I'll report back when i get there.


The single player is BALLS though

 

[DakaSha]

I need to clarify that you pay in game cash to level up btw. Not real money. You can get in game cash by paying real money though...

Multiplayer started out fun until my opponent placed one single merc in front of ALL FOUR of mine and just killed them all because i couldnt do anything to him. Its the equivalent of a level 60 character in wow fighting a level 10. Only that this guys level was 15 and mine 8. I literally pumped 100 rounds into him but his armor and my gear made him virtually invincible. He just sat in front of my entire team and shot them to shit. I understand level and gear making a difference but when i have 4 guys standing in front of an enemy, and they all unload their clips into him, my positioning/tactics were better and he needs to fucking die and not act like im shooting him with a fuckign super soaker. To be fair I wasnt using armor piercing rounds (i wasnt using hollow point either though) , but again, i unloaded multiple burst rounds into him without even scratching his health. I think he had over 90% of his health left by the end of the game

Fazit: Fuck this horrible piece of shit. Prob got banned anyways after letting them know what my opinion was in all chat.
Its sad because the game has potential (if you COMPLETELY IGNORE THE JAGGED ALLIANCE TAG) but they obviosuly dont know jack shit about game balance. It was the worst MP experience ive ever had in a game. Tactics dont matter. only stats and gear

Maybe they will fix it but my guess is people will leave before then



edit: Also more morons in chat saying that this is just like jagged alliance only 'evolved'. I really like trevor being a low level merc 'scout' that has jack shit to do with electronics and mechanics, with no intelligence score to speak of. Why? because none of it fuckign matters as its not modeled in any way

edit again: Oh and random ass turn timers. I couldnt even tell when my turn was supposed to end. At one point i had one merc left (guess who killed the other 3) and DIDNT HAVE TIME TO MOVE HIM. It just ended my fuckign turn after he fired one shot

I've been playing it the past two days...it certainly isn't like the original JA, but it's more entertaining than XCOM or BiA. The multiplayer has been fixed a bit for the whole matchmaking thing, so you won't run into the sole level 50s at like level 20.
