Statutory Ape posted:whats this about the research tree? The research system is full of traps than can forbid you from researching certain technologies or even finishing the game, especifically if you research the Tasoth commander tech before resarching the leviathan sub, you won't be able to start the final mission, dunno if this was ever fixed. Another annoying research feature is that you need a very especific living alien (a deep one terrorist iirc) to research the advanced armors, only spawns in early to mid game terror missions, so if you don't capture one, you get hosed and can't get the good armors. Ditto with the melee weapon tree.

I wish Firaxis would remake that game. Original XCom interface and isometric perspective is just too annoying at this stage.

The ending of XCOM 2 certainly leaves the idea of some terrors from the deep an open possibility. It also implies The Bureau is still relevant to the plot, if not 100% canonical.

Is The Bureau worth finishing? I got a cheap code for it around the time it came out, and played a little bit. While walking around the base I started to feel the whole thing was too "by the numbers" and haven't played since.

There's one somewhat neat plot thingie towards the end, but otherwise it's really mediocre (both story and gameplay). I wouldn't call it a *bad* game, but it's barely worthwhile. Pretty much what you can expect from something that went through a development hell.

Yea, The Bureau isn't bad, it's just 100% mediocre--and I thought only topically XCOM. Just realize you'll more or less forget that you played or own it within a few weeks.

Also xcom2 should be played with at least 300 mods activated,half of which should be cosmetic mods.so that your rag tag team of guerrilla fighters can wear stormtrooper armour and little sombrero hats.

I think the game runs out of ideas about 2/3 of the way through, and gently caress any fight against Mutons, but if you’ve already got it then I think it’s worth playing.

IIRC research tree depends too much on interrogating living aliens of specific race and rank, interrogated alien commander but he wasn't the right race, oops, now you don't get the best fighter craft or something like that because you don't need to interrogate any other commander.

It's one of the few tactical shooters out there (like the Brothers in Arms series) but it never gets really engaging gameplay-wise. That said, I really liked the writing in general and as mentioned, the twist at the end is kind of neat. It's decent especially if you like the genre, but not exactly a great game.

Kennel posted:EU 1.0 changed difficulty always to beginner. A few days late, but I was at a talk one of the devs was giving a few years back, and he claimed that the issue with TftD was that they didn't realise the EU Beginner bug was a thing at the time they were developing it, and players were complaining that EU was too easy, meaning that they overcorrected the difficulty.

Funny how these games, while flawed, were at least largely complete. Such a difference to today.

(Crossposting in a few places) I decided to make a thread for the Pathologic games over here, and it has a bunch more information if anyone's curious. The tl;dr is that it's a surreal Russian survival thriller game about spending twelve days in an insane town being consumed by a plague. The gameplay is brutal and the writing is some of the best I've ever seen. If you enjoy survival games and/or have any interest whatsoever in video games as a medium for storytelling, you owe it to yourself to play either the updated original version or the remake that's coming out in a few days (specifically on May 23rd for presumably the same price as Steam, $35). The original game is a VERY rough gem but also only like $12 and it runs on a toaster.  I will fully cop to wanting to shill for this game as much as possible because the original is one of my favorite games of all time and everything they've shown of the remake has been incredibly promising.

I'll wait to see if you guys say it's Video Games Trillian. I don't currently use chat, but if GOG's mission of crossplatorm matchmaking worked well and you could easily seek out a fellow weirdo to play co-op Majesty with... (Disco Stu sound) For now, happy with my current hipster game launcher.

One thing they might consider is that with old dead games, you often look for matches and no one's on, and you never come back. If they set something up asynchronously, that might help resolve "empty server syndrome," though maybe only to a point.

If you want any of the Telltale games on GOG you have until the weekend, GOG will delist them on Monday. No discounts, as far as I know.

I started Hidden and Dangerous 2 a while ago but quickly lost interest in the first campaign. I've played the old Rainbow, Swats and Ghost Recons but this was a bit too old-school for me. Mostly the restricted ability to save, I can take difficulty but not going back and replaying difficult sections over and over. Am I missing something or do I just need to set things to Easy?
