Bay 12 Games Forum

someone mentioned sword of the stars 2, i fully agree and have noting to add.

the worst game i ever liked proably was final liberation.
i realy cant say why i liked it. it had no redeeming features whatsoever.
it was unfinished with missing units, the "campaign" only had a single scripted counter attack. the grafic, especially the videos, where incredible bad.
it was completely unbalanced (well, i guess thats not the fault of the game as it had to deal with the wh40k rules)

still i somehow managed to play it a lot and have tons of fun with it. was also fun in hotseat.

i tried to have a look into this.
the launcher will crash when i try to change a graphic setting. did not even bother to launch it.

hmpf. played this game more then i can justify in any way.
if it comes to games, i seem to be a masochist, i realy hate about all games i play longer :/

i guess for me its the artwork and the general realxing feel of the game that kept me playing. (note to self: suggest it to miners and carebeas in eve at next opportunity).

anoter redeeming feature maybe is that im not native in english, and so its a bit more cumbersome for me to read the storys. therefore, i skipped most, and just confirmed for the reward. but once in a while i decide to read one storry instead of just rushing it. so, the storys  paradoxically are an ongoing motivation just because i tent to read them so litte.

also, it allowed me to connect to their serves and update with a pirated version. i realy appriciate this, as i never buy a game i havnt played before... anyway, meanwhile i use a legit copy, and again "upgrading" to a legal version worked without breaking any save games. both is rare today and highly appriciated.

however, there are things i dont like with this game too:
for one, declining difficulty. it starts kind of hard, but it gets to easy to soon. there are very few balancing mecanics (like the closed coffeeshop, limited tours of lion stones or the declining wine prices in godfal) - and these mecanics are weakend the way the legacys work. after all, i can take all my money with me into the next game. it was cool if the game in the same way passed  on balancing mecanics and difficulty modifers. like, binding of issac does a great job here... the more one plays the game and unlocks collectables, the harder it gets.


so yeah, even if i am proably not the target group i had fun with this game and im happy i bought it. my mom would love the shit out of this if it was in german.

i made very similar observations. i live in lowsec, and before i joined my current corporation, i had tons of fights with some of them  (witch we still fondly rember ).
i also often (try to) recruit players i fought.
only carebears that never leave highsec get all mental over the loss of a ship. but i think most of these that stay in the game for longer acutally appriciate the content created by players that are less risk adverse. eve is a very borring game if all you care about is a growing isk count.

thanks for your help! i think the problem is the lamp. with low tier engines, it like triples fuel consumption.

anyway, im out of here. i would not say this is a bad game per se.
but for my tase, it combines the worst of rouge likes and text adventure games.

now, im not the biggest fan of either genre, hence i am proaby just not the target group.
however, combiningrng RNG difficulty+permadeath  with a written, story based backbone strikes me as a realy bad idea. 

lets face it. fecies sell if you print the name sid meier on them.
so, firaxis does whats in the best interest of their share holders: they make civ games that are just good enough to keep the label running, and aside of that, they produce crap because they know it sells anyway.
they make remake after remake of their old games for  25 years now.  im quite convinced no interesting and creative game will be sold under this label ever again.

true, as long as there is an upstair, its less of a problem. just go up early enough to kill the respawn monster that is sure to happen.
for the gong tho, that shield would not make noise out of combat. so yeah, the storm is way more dangeous.
