in retrospect the old redtext was a little over the top, I think I was in a bad mood that day. it appears you've learned your lesson about slagging our gods and masters at beamdog but I'm still going to leave this av up because i think its funny

im pretty sure star control 2 cost money at some point and now (and for a few years lol) you can get the best version of the game for free and it runs like a dream. one of the best games ever made

http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

Star Control 2 is one of the best games I ever played, and I say that having played it a considerable number of years after it was first released.

I should mention that the best (and still completely free) version of this game is the Megamod: http://megamod.serosis.net/

It includes HD art and a whole bunch of other options and improvements without altering the main game (unless you set the options to do so).

It also includes three re-voice mods that I created, all of which include lines from the text-only PC version that were omitted from the Ur-Quan Masters voiced version... and which contain crucial information for finishing the game that otherwise isn't available anywhere else.

For example, you can hear my version of the Metachron dialogue (missing from basic Ur-Quan Masters release) here:

I tried to get this for free, but it ended up costing me ten bucks.

(because it's impossible to not hit the "donate" button when a dev is doing something this cool)

Thanks for the heads up!

Some bangers on that list:


Beneath a Steel Sky and Flight of the Amazon Queen:

Classic point & click adventure games, both very solid.

Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves:

A very unique strategy/action hybrid, strike the fear into those werewolves with canadian backwoods cunning!

Shadow Warrior Classic Complete:

A ton of unfortunate racial humor in this FPS, but check it out for a stark reminder of what was hilarious back in the 90´s. It's still Build engine fun when it comes to gameplay.

Tyrian 2000:

An excellent shoot 'em up. It's one of the ones where you get to buy all kinds of upgrades and weapons between stages.

I played Legend of Keepers: Prologue and enjoyed it, though the title seems to be nonsense. You manage a group of monsters and are tasked with keeping adventurers from clearing out your dungeons and taking the loot. In between groups of adventurers, you can send your monsters to plunder the town for gold or to possibly release new monsters to join your group. The combat reminds me of Darkest Dungeon, though you're intended to lose at least half of the time. You can kill the adventurers to harvest their blood, or attack their morale to scare them off and harvest their tears instead. Both are an important resource. It doesn't take itself too seriously and is pretty fun. The prologue too me about 90 minutes to finish, and basically convinced me to buy the full game when it comes out.

It's actually fun, I didn't expect that. It's such a shame that Quake Live became a paid game cause I liked playing that a lot too.

If you like it enough you want to keep playing after the weekend, and especially if you're the type who tries to do most of the side quests, just get the base game, there's hundreds of hours of content, easily.

gold: game + season pass: "two new major story acts ... with three exciting episodes per story." includes rear end rear end creed 3 remastered and rear end rear end creed liberation remastered

Deluxe is temp XP boosts and some skins
Gold is season pass plus AC3.
Ultimate is both.
So I guess either base or gold are the way to go.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Timely reminder that AC3 is comfortably the worst one. Honestly I'd skip even the remastered version unless you have a real hankerin' to Forrest Gump your way through the American Revolution.

I can’t imagine playing the Ezio games out of order, there’s so much going on with the characters I feel like you’d be missing a lot. I prefer 2 over Brotherhood, myself, but all three are incredible.

True, but from a gameplay perspective it's strictly the best of the three between 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations (it adds too much bloat but is still fine imo) if you're only going to play one

Although I think 2 has the most interesting cities to explore between the three. Rome is cool but it looks samey after a bit; the cities in 2 all look and traverse pretty differently.

If you play Revelations, I'd recommend to skip the Desmond part entirely or at least leave it for the very end.
