Game News Jagged Alliance 2 - Reloaded Ditches Turn-Based Combat

[Reptilian Shapeshifter]

They just don't have creativity to come up with new IPs.

And that might not be so bad if they could at least stay on par with the originals. Sadly, they enjoy turning gold into shit and then rubbing it in your face.

Can you Guess Who?

Some day I will do a JA clone. The beginning will make strong men weep manly tears of joy and ejaculate CLAW flechettes in their pants.

Starts off with bleak scene and wind blowing just like fallout but the narrator says "As Tolstoy say. War. What is good for. Avsolutely nothing."

 

[MasterSmithFandango]

I can't even be angry anymore. This has turned funny.

The one sad thing is that this is going to bomb, and the excuse will be "oh, the market evolved past squad based strategy games" or some shit.

 

[Oriebam]

What if it doesn't bomb?

Hell freezes over and I start reading VaultCo

Fuck the fucking Germans fuck.

Fuck the fucking Germans fuck.

That's what Potato People were trying to tell you all these years but you didn't listen!

What if it doesn't bomb?

Then may God have mercy on our souls. Everyone will see, that it is profitable to fuck up a game like this.

 

[MetalCraze]

The fuck? The fuck is this shit? THE FUCK?!

Dear MetalCraze, this is generic graphical design 101. Do you like it?

 

[Oriebam]

so... does this mean super sick mods confirmed?

They just don't have creativity to come up with new IPs.

I think it's more about shamelessly cashing in on an existing IP, as there's an inherent risking in creating a new one.

And folks, please stop quoting that merc list picture -- I can't stand looking at those rows of cloned faces staring at me with dead eyes.

 

[MetalCraze]

Torpid, do you think we may have another collection of avatars added to RPG Codex?

Every troll alt would register with one of those faces as their avatar, it would be crazy Drog #29147: "Hey guys, I'm new to RPGs and I really liked Oblivion," and there's a neutered Steroid staring at you...

Dear torpid, do you like it?

This shitpiece now reminds me of that After-something I played long time ago (was supposed to be x-com inspired, was really utter shit that had absolutely nothing on x-com, even art was ridiculous bland shit like that).
Looks like JA2 got such a successor, too. Except they actually named it JA2 :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

[jagged-jimmy]

Shadow turned from badass to someone who have burnt his face with a firecracker and is now sad.

Basically this guy:

* Saṃghāta – the "crushing" Naraka. This Naraka is also upon a ground of hot iron, but is surrounded by huge masses of rock that smash together and crush the beings to a bloody jelly. When the rocks move apart again, life is restored to the being and the process starts again. Life in this Naraka is 1.0368×1014 years long.

* Raurava – the "screaming" Naraka. Here beings run wildly about, looking for refuge from the burning ground. When they find an apparent shelter, they are locked inside it as it blazes around them, while they scream inside. Life in this Naraka is 8.2944×1014 years long.

Not posting it in Site Feedback out of fear they'll actually get added.

The shit parade continues.

Oh wow. Looks like they blew their entire budget on the trailer and then went, oh shit, we gotta make a game too.
