Ylands has just gone free to play.

Its a fun little sailing/driving/crafting/exploration game.

Bought it at least a year ago and have only ever played single player.
But I like it.



Now single player is a pay option while multiplayer still looks to be free.
Though I may be wrong about this.
In game currency buys stuff like servers, emotes, costumes and blueprints for houses/cars etc.
I think its free to join a sever but about $7/m to rent one.

Multiplayer is pretty garbage, at least what little I saw of it. The graveyard server I happened into was entertaining, I suppose, but the "main" stuff is all just cruddy minigames.

Yeah they've probably been grabbed by scraper bots who grab Steam keys, it's why people always leave a character out when posting them on Twitter. Aegis Defenders is also gone.

there's a thread in Private Game Servers for giving away stuff, which ensures that at least it's somebody with an SA account that takes it.

Lots of people dislike it for certain old school design decisions, but IMO it's good. It's probably a good idea to look for a character creation guide before starting, though.

I thought that it kept the worst parts of the original Wasteland's old-school design (first and foremost, too many skills) and the new stuff didn't add much (as an example, each category of weapons comes in five tiers, and each tier is a straight upgrade from the previous one, which probably helps with balance but makes advancement feel artificial and unexciting).

It wasn't awful (and plenty of people loved it), but I'd rather boot up a legit old-school game or play a fully modern game rather than one squatting halfway in between.

That said, you can tell if it's going to work for you or not by the end of the first real mission so it can't hurt to give it a spin.

In terms of how good of a game it is/order of merit, Wasteland 2 sits firmly between Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, much like Fallout 1 sits firmly between Wasteland and Wasteland 2.

quote:

What is new in the Director's Cut? Wasteland 2 Director's Cut changes a huge number of aspects of the game. Our main new features and changes include:

Graphical overhaul and update to the Unity 5 game engine.
Expanded voice-over with thousands of newly-voiced lines for key characters and scenes.
Precision Strikes system allows you to target individual body parts on enemies in combat, which lets you inflict negative status effects on them.
Perks system lets you pick bonuses for your characters as they level up.
Quirks system lets you pick a personality trait for each custom created Ranger during character creation, with a gameplay-modifying positive and negative quality.
Rebalanced gameplay, including virtually all combat encounters, weapons, loot drops and containers.
Controller support on PC and console. On PC, you can select from keyboard and mouse input, as well as Xbox 360, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 DUALSHOCK 4 controller modes.
There's plenty of smaller additions to be found, of course, but we'll leave those for you to find.

No. They are, however, doing the exact polar opposite, where if you own one of the following games on Steam, you can get a DRM-free GOG copy for free:

Ah, well, you see, there's no Serial Keys option there or anywhere which is what got me asking :shrug:

e: Oh you've got to be kidding me GOG, they're there on the site but nowhere on GOG Galaxy. Is there anything that isn't much worse in GOG Galaxy as opposed to just using the website?

The Connect system is a bit weird during busy times, and requires your game list on your Steam profile to be publicly visible, so you may need to tweak your privacy settings.

But I guess they've succeeded in getting my eyeballs on their storefront with this.

Wolf Among Us is an adaptation of the Bad Wolf from Fables, the comic series, which is at least an entertaining notion.

Is The Escapists anything more or better than what Prison Architect has to offer for that game mode? The trailer suggests storage of items for use for later (and I don't recall Prison Architect having a grappling hook). Its initial release was noticeably after the semi-public alpha for PA and seems a bit simpler and like a game mode that was demanded by the testers of PA which did eventually came out but not quite as quickly as a developer I've never heard of put out a prison escape game.

Same, although I stupidly missed Jotun last week and am annoyed at myself over it since that is one of the games that actually interested me.
