    Has anyone played ROM? Looks like Snatcher was a big influence.

    I played HOI 2 a lot back in the day, but I hear Darkest Hour is better. Should I bother with DH or should I stick to HOI 2?

    I beat it. It's not bad, but not good either. Nice pixel art, fairly competently written for an indie game (the writing is passable, but definitely not memorable). Some dialogue-based C&C (think visual novel-style) - however, the progression itself is fully linear with no puzzles to speak of. Worth it if you enjoy this style of games and the price is very low.

    I haven't played Snatcher so dunno how it compares.

    It's the future of gaming, shitlords.
    No, but really, the game had very low sales, so very few people noticed the pronounbot.

    Did anyone else receive a newsletter from GOG with the subject "More paradox for your noodle"?
    What is my noodle supposed to do with paradox games?

    No Sacred 2 Gold on sale, what a pity because Steamed version suxxx and boxed with DRM sux too, not sure which more.
    Only IGI2 avaliable? Where is first one? Oh right, Codemasters. Dorks who removed Severance:BoD from GOG offer, for few months and one sale. What a dorks.

    Its a right mixed bag, fairly good gameplay where positioning and and proper use of your combined forces matters more than unit rush, and there's a shit ton of reactivity in the single player campaign, there you can go Imperial (Church,) Renaissance (Guns,) and Pagan which has demons and all weird gameplay and architecture. Each one has their own campaigns branching oof o main one at various points.

    As I remember though engine were shaky and unstable, there were quite a few issues wi pathfinding requiring constant attention and it were a bit too easy when you'd gotten used to everything.

    It had charm and atmosphere though, really good soundtrack and some good mission design. Finished it on everything bar pure Renaissance as I remember, which required a fair few hours.

    Why does the Steam version suck? You can patch it with the community patch anyway don't you?

    I didn't get that one, and I'm very disappointed.

    And, I suppose if you go: Paradox = Strategy games. Strategy games = Thinking Man's games. Then you go Noodle = Brain. And so, you get: More Paradox games to challenge your brain with.

    But, it's kind of a reach. Bad marketing form, really. Especially with a bunch of fereigners patronizing their shop.

    Nobody mentioned yet that Darkest Hour have great Fallout mod for it? The Brazilian Slaughter say hi.

    Ohsnap
    Thank you for reminder about Community Patch. I totally forgot about it.

    And why Steam version sux?
    When you exit the game you can't play anything else or exit the Steam because game is still in Running state, even though Task Manager show nothing.

    EDIT
    what the hell, there is no link for that Community Patch 0150 (last version), the only one avaliable is borked because community switched to Xmass theme and screwed links, what the hell krauts, you failed at work.
    Managed to found googledrive one, linked in Unofficial Patches thread.
    Still problem with non-stop Running status that block Steam, but I appreciate performance boost (about 5-10FPS more) so :thumbsup:

    Aww yeah, Nuclear Throne released: https://www.gog.com/game/nuclear_throne?pp=cb4e5208b4cd87268b208e49452ed6e89a68e0b8

    And a sale I guess: https://www.gog.com/promo/weekly_st...6?pp=cb4e5208b4cd87268b208e49452ed6e89a68e0b8
    Armello, Dust, Inherit the Earth, and Aqua Kitty.

    Defnitely check out Nuclear Throne, though. Vlambeer really knows how to make enjoyable gameplay.

    That's what I post them for. :) They've got the sequel as well, if you're interested: https://www.gog.com/game/warrior_kings_battles?pp=cb4e5208b4cd87268b208e49452ed6e89a68e0b8

    I don't know but a) that's almost at the very beginning of the game and b) does not affect your game and no one mentions anything about " muh pronouns" in the game.
