    Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    A good marketing campaign should get oldfag fans excited :bounce: and also try to draw in new blood as well. Beth running promos to appeal to longtime (old) gamers in addition to what they are doing to draw in new buyers would seemingly be more productive than narrowcasting to people who are...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    While I agree that Larian might have set different priorities in EA and released a more streamlined and polished 40 hour product earlier, at least they didn't go the Paradox route and released a feature-poor 20 hour game 4 years ago and trickled out 10 DLCs that generate cash but never really...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 - tips, tricks & helpful information

    So she has a second infernal machine to power that thing?

    Favorite drink while gaming?

    I drink water most of the time, but my favorite is to have either applejack or tennessee whiskey. Occasionally it's nice to have a homebrewed mead, assuming I've taken the time to actually brew some.

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    Surprised she didn't bury the party within the AOE of Ice Storm. Might have been better off casing Barkskin on herself with that terrible AC.

    Aspects of computer role-playing games that satisfy you the most

    I'm guilty of tacticsbuggery and especially enjoy building up a weak party over the course of a campaign. If the combat is good and the other aspects aren't annoying, I can get multiple playthroughs out of trying other approaches and party combinations. Surprised that min/maxing isn't on the...

    Are You Going To Play Baldur's Gate 3?

    Will play it with mods from the beginning. Learned my lesson when I quickly realized that D:OS 2 was unplayable for me without them.

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Looks like Captain Grisly picked up the HIV in some off-the-map port before retiring - that neck looks about as thick as an orc's half-orc's half-elf's elf's wrist.

    Game News Baldur's Gate 3 Community Update #22: Power Of A Mind Flayer

    Glad I had just skimmed the text about the marketing video. I'm not surprised that marketing at Larian is seemingly as oblivious and out of touch as it is at many companies (and not just video game companies) these days.

    Turn-Based Tactics Mars Tactics - Fight for Martian freedom or suppress terrorists who hamper future of Mankind

    Yeah, some of the art design reminds me of the old RTS games Z & Steel Soldiers - kinda cartoony, but appealing in how it tries to stand apart from stock assets. This game already looks to be much more complex in its combat systems and army/faction building options than the Z series ever was...

    KickStarter Xenonauts 2 - now available on Early Access

    Didn't work when I tried to manually resolve - controls would not work at all and there was a message about it being a work in progress. If you're getting different results, I'm guessing it was a bug on my end. I'll load up the 1.25 release update and do a new campaign and see if that fixes things.

    KickStarter Xenonauts 2 - now available on Early Access

    Yeah, I just had my first base defense and it was running janky and buggy. My soldiers all had messed-up textures. I also had a sentry gun return from zero hitpoints and start attacking my soldiers with a melee attack after getting "killed" by a reaper. Pretty sure that vehicles / guns should be...

    KickStarter Xenonauts 2 - now available on Early Access

    The air combat is still "a work in progress" in X2. You can only auto-resolve air battles. Though, I have discovered you can only ever win them if you send 2 units to their 1 unit. So, pretty much nothing has changed. It's a shame that this game is perpetually stuck in limbo without taking...

    Naheulbeuk's Dungeon Master - Dungeon Keeper clone from Dungeon of Naheulbeuk devs

    A dungeon keeper clone that actually featured some semblance of strategic combat (preferably turn based) would be a welcome attempt at trying to evolve the initial concept. Till then, DK II is probably still the best of its type out there.

    Kapital: Sparks of Revolution - New City Builder game from 1C

    Agreed, I am hoping that half of the fun in Kapital will be in oppressing and exploiting the classes you choose. I am running a "demo" version of Kapital now to see if the gameplay delivers. Put about an hour into it last night and there's some promise that it may allow greater freedom than...
