Computer Gaming / Re: Political Machine 2024
Last post by rss334 - Yesterday at 09:07:36 AM7 reviews, I always check out the negative reviews first as those tend to be the most helpful and easiest to see if they are legit or spam. Based on this one I think I'm going to pass. I've never played 2016 version but sounds like that would be the one to pickup.
"I still feel like the 2016 version was way better.
In 2020 they dumbed everything down, and they still didn't recover from that decision.
Okay, you can play the primaries, but the general election still feels very shallow compared to what the game was 8 or 12 years ago. The political operatives are random cards now, same goes for the lobby groups you need to win. It feels like gambling, instead of a game where your decisions matter.
And oh yea: it's hard to win if Joe Biden has almost zero stamina."

Wargame Design Studio / Squad Battles Thread
Last post by rahamy - Yesterday at 09:03:25 AMTodays post is a "must read" for anyone interested in squad level wargaming, which we cover in our Squad Battles series of games. We're releasing an updated (and expanded) version of our FREE demo for this series - Grenada - and the blog post talks specifics about tactics needed to be a successful Squad Battles player.

Computer Gaming / Re: WarNo by Eugen - aka WARGA...
Last post by Jarhead0331 - Yesterday at 08:19:39 AMWhat do you think? Are you going to upgrade to Gold? Hard to resist. The airborne/air assault nemesis DLC sounds great too.

Computer Gaming / Re: Homeworld 3 Trailer
Last post by Jarhead0331 - Yesterday at 08:11:13 AMWell, fellas...not too much longer. Really hoping the devs took all the feedback to heart.
Homeworld Vast Reaches released on VR and it is receiving pretty disappointing reviews. I hope it is not a precursor.

Last post by Destraex - Yesterday at 08:10:13 AMWarno gets a release date and a huge amount of dlc announced. May 23rd is release. Early access peeps get some free elc which is otherwise paid but also have to upgrade to the gold edition before release for all of the announced future content.
More countries have been announced including Canada and Poland, but no countries outside of what would have been in a European cold war gone hot.

Computer Gaming / Re: Sins Of a Solar Empire 2
Last post by Destraex - May 02, 2024, 05:44:21 PMQuote from: Grim.Reaper on May 02, 2024, 09:58:46 AMQuote from: Destraex on May 02, 2024, 08:09:45 AMQuote from: Grim.Reaper on May 02, 2024, 04:35:37 AMThat would be amazing, but hard to believe given the whole point of Epic funding development so people to use their platform. I guess Epic could not stop them but I assume it would be against the spirit of the agreement. Besides, how would they distribute the keys? I guess by linking your epic account to sins website directly.Quote from: Jarhead0331 on May 01, 2024, 09:54:52 AM...and let me guess...it will include some kind of an update that will not be provided to those who bought early access on Epic. Stardock and Wardell screwed everyone over like this with Gal Civ IV.
I thought I read on steam one of the developers indicate people who bought on epic prior to the release announcement yesterday would 99% likely get a steam key. Of course, he didn't say 100%:)
This wouldn't be the first time a game was on a different platform (or moved to Steam) and then keys were given out for Steam so don't suspect it's a problem, although could be work on their end. All I can say is a developer within the Steam forum stated it was their goal to provide the keys to people who bought prior to May 1st and was 99% sure it would happen. Guess we will see.
You're making me very happy right now :)

Last post by rss334 - May 02, 2024, 03:07:33 PMI wonder if you can run your campaign and win by locking up your political opposition?
