Game News Jagged Alliance: Rage! Released

Holy shit, I forgot how ugly this was. I was half-remembering it as some failed attempt at quirkiness, but it's just bad. What even is this?

 

Wow another game to add to my PS4 backlog. Going to have to put it behind Deadfire though.

 

How hard is to just repeat masterpice in times of half intelligent people, which brains is half-diluted by feminism and sexual perversion?
Really, not hard at all, it's that kind of not hard at all when armless man climbing a mountain.

 

the fuck?

 

I think they might have hired mobile developers to make their PC/PS4 game.

 

I understand not wanting bottom of the barrel trash like rage here, but what's the point of simply remaking JA2 in a modern engine? Why not IMPROVE on it?

 

Because there is no chances they could actually IMPROVE it - only break it.

 

I cannot wait to see how the next JA game will manage to outdo even this one!

 

Match-3 Jagged Alliance.

 

I decided to just watch the reviews. I honestly haven’t bought the 2 jagged alliance 2 games (unfinished businesss or wildfires). I guess UB was ok but wildfire sucked?

This doesn’t look too terrible but I was never a hardcore JA player. It’s something I should look into even though in Xcom I always got my ass handed to me so I’m thinking I won’t do much better here.

 

Looks cool !

 

One thing 1.13 failed to do was suppression. You don't suppress an NPC, you suppress an area. Another thing 1.13 failed to address was lying in a half-circle at the edge of the map while the enemies kept coming to their deaths. There wasn't a way to flank someone lying at the map's edge. There was also some talk of enemy AI where they just kept coming to die in the exact same place dozens of other AI characters were killed.

I dunno whether 1.13 code is open and what's its quality. It's probably shit. Only old games have good code quality had Carmack on the team.

 

Wutchu mean? In 1.13 you target people or areas for suppression.

 

In 1.13 it's individual NPCs that have a "suppressed" state. For actual suppression, the NPC's suppression state needs to directly derive from the area's suppression.

I know you can spray in cones in 1.13.

Being shot at in an open field isn't "suppressed". It's being in a shitty situation. Being suppressed is being behind cover you can't peek from 'cause it's getting shot at all the time. Whether horizontal cover (say, sandbag) or vertical (edge building). Fire superiority and other nonsense.

 

Technically you could get flanked by enemynsquads appearing from neighbouring sectors. Happened pretty often actually.

 

It wasn't as deadly as it seems. Arriving enemies lost the first turn. Maybe my team got shot up a bit. Of course advancing with superior ranged weaponry made the whole issue moot, and the cheese inferior. The distances were off by a factor of ten so having battle rifles mattered somehow.

I have to admit my playthroughs used full loot drop but only because it was so absurd otherwise.

One of these 7.62 games was fun (other than the constant memory leak) but not comparable even to ja2-stracciatella.

 

Gog has a sale so I got them now. I’d still like to try this new one though.

 

He did it, Prosper made a game.
