I know this is a lovely outlook but I think a really bad translation is kinda charming and makes me think I'm playing a Ys game for the SNES.

And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

quote:

"Over the past four years, we have communicated [with Reiche] regarding the progress of Star Control: Origins. He asked us not to try to make a sequel to Star Control 2 and said that he hoped one day to be able to return to the universe he and Fred Ford created. Recently, Paul told me the good news: Activision was going to let him do a true sequel to Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters (i.e. Star Control 3 is not canon for that universe)."

Hey, I hear Nioh is coming to PC in a month or two. If I like Dark Souls and feudal Japan, is it worth getting, assuming the port is good?

The gameplay and combat is Souls-like but faster and with a loot system. It doesn't have the moody exploration of those games since it uses discrete levels. I really dug it and it's in the top 15 games I've played this year. Also

Edit: From what I've heard Koei Tecmo's ports are pretty mediocre and it's likely the game will be capped to 1080p/60fps and probably unoptimized, but that will probably be good enough for most people and I'm sure some enterprising modder will also pull a DSFix

They probably will be. I remember something from the SC2 manual postulating that the Precursors were quite large and hairy-- the original design for the lander craft had two very large couches, rather than a dozen human-scale seats.

The combat is more like Ninja Gaiden than Souls but if that and Diablo style loot don't put you off then probably.

Hesitate, and you will be lost.
Playing Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock and really liking it so far:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/544610/Battlestar_Galactica_Deadlock/

It's a turn-based tactical starship combat game in the BSG Universe, taking place during the first Cylon War (the timeline before the 2004 series). You plan out your moves then the game plays through a round in real-time.

The single-player campaign has a mission progression but there is also a strategic portion to play, so as to build up your officers and your fleet strength along the way.

A challenging game on the Normal (Commander) difficulty. If you liked Battlefleet Gothic:Armada you may also like this game.

Though the game is turn-based, after a battle is over you can save out a recording of your real-time battle to see what happened. This is a feature I wish Gothic had.

Example playback video (not mine):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHdXV9EXj6w

My only complaint is some of the Cylon ships look very similar to Colonial ships, but that's a minor issue.

what i've learned playing multiple versions of star cruiser is that every version of star cruiser 1 is basically a prototype for the genesis version that is a prototype for star cruiser 2 and also much less playable because it runs at like 2fps
