Yeah, I dunno man. I saw that thing release and just kinda facepalmed about it. PA is right up there with Starforge and Spacebase DF-9 in the short list of spectacular early access disasters, and following that up with charging a substantial amount for a glorified patch is unlikely to do anything g...

Don't know if it is on sale anymore, but I grabbed Planetary Annihilation for ~ 5 Euros a few days ago, and I'm having a blast just in Singleplayer. I've yet to touch Multiplayer. It's not SO DEEP (it is quite deep) and strategical as SupCom or TA but it really is fun. I've been playing it nonstop....

standard settings, so i believe normal without ironman *Gasp*! There is a filthy casual among us... Unless i have a clear idea of what higher difficulty does, i usually play any RTS on normal difficulty. In my experiences, difficulty of RTS is scaled simply by enemy resources, be that throwing arou...

To be fair, in the temple assault you should have ghost armour and ghost grenades, there is absolutely no reason the ethereals should even know what hit them or evem mc one guy, much less four.. Probably, but i never used Ghost armor once. Never saw (or had) a need for it. Mind Control was never a ...

I'll only play it if they fix the randomness of the first. My most hated moment was a fight where a 1HP brute (or whatever their name) took 5 guys to kill, at 90% accuracy. Because a giant hulk of flesh and metal can apparently easily hide behind a tiny stump while being flanked from both sides. I h...

Is the contract system better now? Because the last time i played KSP, it was such a bad experience that i immediately gave up on it and de-installed it.

in order to make a complex combat system work within a game, there needs to be a variety of situations and enemies where you have to choose between different equipment and styles of combat. Minecraft simply doesn't have this I think this is something Mojang just doesn't realize. Minecraft simply do...

It seems that they're aiming at Borderlands: Zombie Survival.

I actually really enjoy playing it multiplayer, and I think it suits Factorio a lot better than other 'sandbox/survival' games. It allows multiple people to bring their own ideas into building the factories. We all have different ways of approaching problems: there are many different ways to build ...

I occasionally check the development of the game, but it looks like MP is such a time sink on development that there've been no new features in ages. Whistles knowingly... ;) I wince every time I see a single player game get pressured into adding multiplayer by rabid fans late in development. Nothi...

Wow, i never expected they'd go to such dark territory.

I must say i have one guy who's a good shooter, has the Careful shot trait and a Sniper rifle. You are much braver than I am. My good shooters are basically part time mobile turrets who stand behind a series of one wide walls in front of my base in the early game. Admittedly, he's the only good sho...

Was a heck of a lot of fun though. Really like how the changes so far emphasize the tactical elements of the game. What kind of weapons you arm your colonists with and how you place them during a battle becomes a much bigger consideration, with stuff like having one equipped with a shotgun to take ...

I was considering trying EMP grenades, but I was soon overwhelmed by cavemen

I'm sorry but i laughed really hard when i read that one.

Just glad I never bought Planetary Annihilation as I'm still embarrassed about having that one in my Steam library. Was gifted to me out of the blue by an old friend that I share a common love of TA and SC with, but after playing a couple of games against each other I think our mutual opinion was &...

I think that what few people realize is that Early Access is pretty much Investing. You put in money with the hopes that you hit the jackpot, but there's absolutely no guarantee. Most people seem to see it as a "buy future awesome game now" system. I do think the tides are changing with ne...

On my radar but ill wait for the steam version

I just read about the whole camera thing and I believe it is genius. The first time i was mildly confused. it happened again. Same level, almost same place. It was so creepy...

Ah sorry, you are right, and as usual I need to remind myself not to post before my first cup of coffee :) Yea :). Re: clocks Funny that you mention the satellite level. I just used clocks. Set a welder on a piston, put the piston on a clock. That way, you can weld the satellite in two goes: i weld...

I've yet to see the point in making a clock, since i finished the game without needing overly complex machines. Now i don't really feel the incentive to go back and try to beat the older levels. However, i did notice you could use the floater block to create floating plateaus and i used it quite oft...

I've seen it too. i thought it's part of the whole "aliens are watching" thing Thanks for the confirmation that it's actually in the game. How did it move? Did it seem to be specifically tracking your movements, or examining your puzzle? It tracks your player movement as far as i'm aware....
