Empires is an entirely different game with more of a strategic layer on top as you as a single officer try to go around conquering China. 8, meanwhile, sticks to the Ro3K storyline. It also has boatloads of extra missions and scenarios.

You do NOT need the DLC as most of it is either costumes, weapons, or extra scenarios. Only buy the DLC if you've beaten the main game and want more.
Alright sweet, since I already own 8 base, I'll just load that up when I have time. Don't give a poo poo about the storyline and the whole conquering territories appeals to me but not $50 appeals to me. Thanks all!

Hey Strix you should play Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada! They went with a heavy story focus in that one and it's great - plus the way it's focused on a single clan makes it easy to wrap your head around the historical context at the time. I got it expecting a regular musou and I was amazed at how much I loved it.

Also re: Total War and CA, they are a great studio in terms of not being chuds and each free update and paid content drop for Warhammer is better than the last, but some people are still understandably angry about the disastrous Rome 2 launch. Personally, can't wait for TWW3.

It was on the wishlist but you've just bumped it up a lot. May it get a nice sale soon!

I have Hitman 1 on steam (the episodic one not the one from like 15+ years ago).

I’ve heard if you have hitman 2 it upgrades it or enhances or something like that. Is it worth it and what hitman 2 pack do I need to get for this?

Just get hitman 2, the legacy pack is for people that don’t already own 1. You can launch the hitman 1 levels from hitman 2 with the engine improvements, and it’s quite an improvement for sure.

This is the DLC you want. Hitman 2 is otherwise free, but pay 20$ and you can play the 2016 missions in the new engine.

OR - and please try this before spending money - you install Hitman 2016, then Hitman 2, and boot up 2. It should detect the 2016 content and upgrade you for free. You might need to open/close Hitman 2 for this to work, I don't remember.

The new engine: has briefcase, adds cover as a mechanic, other misc upgrades. Vanilla Hitman 2016 is extremely good, so while you won't need the upgrades they're nice to have.

Yes.

Unless you are adamant about having 100% of the content, because Season 1 in Season 2 does not have all the Escalations that Season 1 by itself had. Escalations give you another reason to replay a level after you've already played it dozens of time unlocking all the challenges. I imagine you have to be really dedicated to the game to enjoy Escalations.

How the whole Hitman 1 to Hitman 2 thing works from memory:

If you have the Goty edition of Hitman 1, everything imports into Hitman 2. All levels. Nothing additional to buy

If you only have base Hitman 1, you only get the base levels (plus the summer remixes). No Goty-remix levels. You can buy the Goty Legacy Pack Upgrade to get the Goty levels

If you don't have Hitman 1, you get nothing from the first game. Only Hitman 2 levels. You can buy the Goty Legacy Pack to get all the Hitman 1 content.


The Hitman 1 stuff is all levels from the first game, with some changes to make use of the new mechanics in Hitman 2. I believe some of the escalation challenges didn't make it over and they only re-ran a few of the Hitman 1 elusive targets, not all of them.

Saves don't carry over though, so if you want to play Hitman 1 and haven't, do it in Hitman 2.

Woah, what? Didn't they go out of business a few months ago?

Abbey Games ran out of money and Godhood hasn't sold enough to continue their business. In December, they laid off all their staff except for the 3 founding members and moved to a smaller office. They're committed to finishing Godhood but everything is up in the air after that. I think they're just hoping to recoup their investment at this point. It took a while for their previous game, Renowned Explorers, to catch on so maybe the same thing will happen here.

Anyway, I feel like Godhood deserves more attention and I would recommend it to anyone who would be interested in a unique strategy game.

Note that you don't even need to download Hitman 2016. Just get the Hitman 2 demo. You can play all of Hitman 2016 content in the free Hitman 2 demo.

You need to launch the Hitman 2 demo once, and then the 2016 levels will be added as Hitman 2 DLC to your Steam account while the game is running. The content is a ~30 gigabyte download, so you should do this now so the game is ready when you want to start playing.

If you've done this correctly, you should have a bunch of DLC for Hitman 2 titled "HITMAN(tm) LEGACY: [location name]".

I know it was a couple of pages ago, but please do not use the steam thread for discussions on historical events involving the Red Army or immediately jump to implying people are nazis due to any reservations they have about the way people are portrayed in games involving historical events. It is right to be wary and skeptical of what is essentially entertainment that usually has bias and also only very broadly touches on important topics.

The steam thread is not the place for this discussion. Another thread entirely is. Thank you kindly, all.

I'm assuming when creating my new account and I choose "United States" as country of residence that I'll have issues when I actually try to make a purchase since I'll be shown in a different country?

What's my best option here? I guess I could use my US payment options to buy a European Steam gift card?

When you're creating your account you'll be flagged as a Euro-zone-whichever based on your IP and your choice of country will be within that zone. This sets your base currency and pricing/availability zone.

You can be in a eurozone and use US cards. The store will display in your home currency and home zone prices and charge you at your home currency so if your US cards have foreign transaction fees they'll get triggered.

If you want to fudge it to be entirely in US you'd have to technically travel to the US and start your account there, but you can use a VPN. If you're in the pricey euro zones this would be a good idea because you're gonna pay the Euro-strength-tax for the base price, and then get VAT which may or may not be more than the sales tax on your US billing address.

If you're in a cheap euro zone, open it there and have fun getting games half off.

They won't generally hassle you about this unless you buy a lot of games on a IP outside your home zone using forms of payment with the billing address also outside. They'll also shut up if you give them proof of residency because they're just doing tax due diligence.

Most of these points are probably more than you care about so if you just open an account with your euro home address and use your US cards it'll just work.

Brigand Oaxaca has received its probably final patch:

quote:

As all good parents know, there comes a time when you have to throw your baby in the dumpster and wish it all the best. Obviously, if another huge bug comes up that I was unaware of, I'll do a 6.6B.

There is one bug reported by 3 people that I just couldn't fix because it never happens on my computer. Their teammates turn into obtainable objects, I believe when they reload the save? The first time it was reported I thought the person was using the world editor and just loving with me, then it was reported 2 more times. I've looked at the save files and I have no idea why that happens. But at least you can fix it with the world editor. Target the weird obtainable teammate, press F2, and type "type=sentient". No idea wtf is going on with this one.

I'm gonna focus 100% on my next project now, but I think in maybe a year or so I will do a Gold version with all content plus an extra challenge map, dev notes, and source code for $10.

I found and fixed a dumb-rear end bug where if you turn off sound, hostile/annoyed/suspicious characters wouldn't turn to look at your footstep sounds.

List of fixes below.

SOURCE CODE:
-Fixed bug where turning off menu sound would prevent sentient objects from detecting your footsteps.
-Fixed crash when menu music is turned off and player views credits.

SCRIPTS:
-Carrion demons and diseased hounds now attack each other in AI scripts, even though they are both technically the same faction.

RESOURCES:
-Updated Builder's Manual.

STORY FILES: (requires starting a new game)
-(PANAMA) Added a hooker to Ciudad del Saber to make the Lady's Man ability more useful.
