Is Spellforce 3 good?!

To clarify, I have never played any SpellForce game, so I don't know for sure.

The concept has always seemed mediocre on paper and has been mediocre all of the times I have experienced anything like it (such as Dragon Commander).

Opus Magnum, Zachtronics' (SpaceChem, Infinifactory, SHENZHEN I/O) new puzzle game:

:bounce:
This makes me wet. I hope it turns out as good as SpaceChem. It shouldn't be in Early Access for long, maybe a month.

does anyone know if it's coming out on gog? i aint buying shit on steam

No GOG.

GOG apparently rejected the newest game from Zachtronics (Shenzen I/O, Infinifactory, TIS-100, Spacechem, Ironclad Tactics).

"Hey guys this game sucks. I never played it though, but I played games that I think are LIKE it, which makes my opinion incredibly valid."

See this is just silly.

If I was giving serious advice then I wouldn't have used a meme.

Game does look interesting. I may try it out later.

Their games are overpriced, but they are worth it.
Probably the oldest independent developer, who still has it.
Imagine if Black Isle was founded in 1981, and still existed, gradually moving from 2D to 3D.

Whenever I feel too good about gaming as a hobby and life in general I take a look at the recently updated category on Steam and suddenly I want to kill every video game dev and then myself. :|

I wonder what is happening here: https://steamdb.info/app/743490/history/

  • Changed name Pain of War Demo › Fallout Tactics: Reloaded

Someone released a barebone FPS named Pain of War on Steam (that's not a news), and they're repurposing its demo's app id for some mod called Fallout Tactics: Reloaded? What is Fallout Tactics: "Reloaded", I wonder. Something along the line of FOnline: Reloaded? ModDB URL does not exist yet.

Google gave me this video:



Video gameplay of my mod for Fallout Tactics with restored content

I guess this is some creative way to get a mod on Steam, but I don't think Bethesda will let it that way longer.

Next Wadjet Eye game, update your wishlists:



A demon possessed you one year ago. Since that day, you unwillingly tore a trail of bloodshed through New York City. Your salvation comes in the form of the Unavowed – an ancient society dedicated to stopping evil.

You are free, but your world is in tatters. You have no home, no friends, and are wanted by the police. Your old life is gone, but perhaps you can start a new one. Join the ranks of the Unavowed, and fight against the oncoming darkness.

Features:
  • Choose a male or female protagonist
  • Three playable origin stories
  • Branching storyline
  • A total of four companion characters to choose from, each with their own talents and abilities.
  • Twice the resolution of a typical Wadjet Eye Game!
  • All the usual guff – voice acting, commentary, original music, etc

lol, their contract expiring this year really explains how bad this game was and how little fucks they gave about it. Definition of shovelware.

Is Sword Coast Legends any good?

Nope.

I played it online a few times with some friends and a bit of the SP campaign. I really couldn't stand it. I also spent way more time trying to learn the editor to make a simple campaign because I hoped maybe I could make the game fun somehow. Editor is fucked, literally ass-backwards.

It was a complete waste of time for me but I already knew that going in. Go read the old threads here leading up to it's release, it was all true. I was peer-pressured into it just to hang out with some friends even though I knew better and got what I deserved. It's unsalvageable.

Not worth a dollar or the time.
