zedprime posted:Early gun slingers aren't yet gun slingers, they are generally trash scavenging anarchists tossing molotov cocktails like they are going out of style. Magic wishes it was as cool as that. Additionally, the Bullets schematic actually requires one point in Explosives to be able to use, so you'll end up knowing how to make molotovs anyway if you're planning on making your own bullets. A single point in throwing and getting Apprentice training from anyone in Shrouded Hills (most guards have it IIRC) is enough to be able to throw things mostly accurately over a short distance - so your grenades/'tovs actually go in the general direction you throw them instead of flying off in a random direction.

Suck it nerds Who here who wants to get it on GOG doesn't already have a physical copy anyway?  I just want to play all the BG and ID games without disc swapping.

Doc Hawkins posted:So besides Disciples 2 and Jagged Alliance 2, is there anything else on that list that folks can recommend? Sacred Gold is awesome, and while it might not be worth the  full price it's a huge steal at $5. Ignore the people who say it's short- it's an open world game (like Elder Scrolls) and the classes differ from each other enough where you can play through as different people for different experiences. It's also worth it just to hear the Battle Mage be a sarcastic douche to everyone he comes across.

Can someone quickly outline the differences between Port Royale 2 and Patrician 3? I have both back from the steam sales when they were like 2 bucks each, but I've still never played either, and I'm interested in trying one or the other.

doctorfrog posted:Thanks! I decided to skip on the econ sims and DS1, and picked up Timeshock and Big Race USA! Good choice.  Personally, I think they're the best commercial pinball sims ever made, outside of MAYBE the Williams Pinball Hall of Fame, although the Pro Pinball games have more options for tweaking the tables and (in my opinion at least) slightly better physics. Not much in the way of tables but you won't be disappointed with how they play.

New promo up: Anuman Interactive Games up to 50% off I'll probably pick up Syberia 2 to go with my copy of Syberia, but none of the others look good beyond the mediocre looking but interesting premise that is Iron Storm.

Was Megarace 3 any good? I remember playing the poo poo out of Megarace 1. I mean it was an awful game, but at the same time it was awesome because it was like one of the only racing games we had, and definitely nothing in that style. Me and my brother played it for ages. I'm leery of how it holds up over time tho. Thinking of nabbing those.

No, Megarace 3 is a horrible Wipeout clone with a terrible interface and they somehow made Lance Boyle more annoying than he already is. Of course, I've never played the first two games, and I really don't intend to. FMV games just aren't my style.

Spuzzz posted:How are the Siberia games? Do they have bullshit puzzles or do they mostly make sense? I've only played Syberia 1, but in my opinion it makes too much sense. A couple of the puzzles will make you pause for a couple seconds, but mostly the solutions to all puzzles are 2 or less screens away. The game is very pretty and the art is very well done. The story is engaging, but I found it to be much more in the realm on a mildly interactive movie and not really a puzzle/adventure game.

Maybe the windows version of Timeshock has issues the other two don't; it's the earliest of the three they have, so they may have used an improved engine for Big Race and Fantastic Journey. As for the sale...ehn. With the last one, I held off on getting Sacred because while it's a good game, I have a lot of great games in my backlog; this one just doesn't have anything that interests me. Except Haegemonia, but I already have a hardcopy of that.

I wouldn't recommend it, but it's by no means a bad game. There is no ingame log of any kind in DarkFall. You have to draw your symbols, take notes, etc... All the game takes place in the same creepy abandoned hotel or on its ground. Knowing that, if it still interests you, go ahead. It's pretty fun. I'm not very good at these games so I found it a bit hard since they give you no direction. On the other hand, you can solve puzzles in the order you want to some degree, which is nice.

Depends on what you're looking for. I got it expecting something like Homeworld; instead, it's more like a watered-down version of Imperium Galactica II. So, if you go in expecting a 3d RTS or a large-scale, super-detailed 4X you'll be disappointed. If, on the other hand, you want to play a sort of mellow, slow-paced, shallow but pretty 2d RTS in space, it delivers. I certainly don't regret buying it.

Ground Control has permadeath for your units. I'd say it's pretty similar to MechCommander (and pretty fun too, I've been meaning to play it for years and started it up in earnest recently. I'm about halfway through the first campaign and loving it so far)

It's not really very much like Fire Emblem; units are almost without exception generics, and if they die they're generally replaced by a rookie squad of the same type before the next mission. It's also realtime. That said, it's a fantastic game and if you liked MechCommander it's likely you'll enjoy Ground Control as well.

JA2 is your answer as perviously said. There is a fan-made patch that is reallly awesome and makes things very good, though please read the whole OP: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3053233 turn off the Drassen Counter Attack!!!! Edit: You'll probably want to gently caress around with the INI files even before you play, (the drassen counterattack) but even after that......... it's never ending.
