Speaking of, I picked it up Phoenix Point a while ago but didn't get very far into it before losing interest (didn't find it nearly as compelling as XCOM.) Has it gotten any better in thr last six months or so? Should I wait for mods on the steam workshop?

I've definitely used it multiple times. Can't guarantee it will work every month though.

glad they've got something they're happy with, i think they've struggled to get stuff out the door in the past.

They have a whole bunch of videos on their YouTube channel about the failed prototypes they've worked on in the past few years. Some of them seem extremely cool.

I imagine IntroVersion really hit it big with Prison Architect (Darwinia and DEFCON probably sold well too), given how quiet they've been for the last decade. Shame they never released that Cyberpunk Heist title. Spaceship game looks cool, though!

From what I can tell this isn't actually out now, so maybe the video dropped early? Though most of what I heard is the game is bad, and not fun-bad like the first. Just bad-bad.

It also had some transphobic scenes, which were patched, but apparently unsatisfactorily? I have not played, but I recall the controversy.

My (second-hand) understanding is that Swery stripped out a few of the more :yikes:bits but refused to budge on some others, possibly because Japan handles stuff about deadnames fundamentally differently. Pretty sure most of the heat was coming from trans twitter which like pretty much every discourse circle can be a bit...overwhelming and the language barrier probably didn't help either.

How did this smug dummkopf ever make general?


York deadnames them in the course of the investigation and misgenders them occasionally, but most of the time this is in the context of the investigation and referring to actions while the trans woman was presenting as male. There are IIRC a couple occasions where they gently caress up outside of this, but York also goes on about how important it is to treat marginalised people well, so I put it down to a few script fuckups and poor localisation rather than out and out transphobia. Mistakes rather than malice.

The patches just removed some voice lines and made them awkwardly silent.

Deadly Premonition 2 on PC.

This game runs extremely badly on the Nintendo Switch, which was the unique platform it was developed for, so all bets are off on how badly, and I mean really badly, they will port this to the PC ecosystem.

It looks like Stellar Tactics which seemingly has been in early access for 6 loving years, is finally releasing chapter one.
Its been a decently playable game, at least for the 2y i've owned it.
But randomized missions can only hold your attention span for so long.

To be fair, its always been one guy making it. And its gone through some revisions on multiple occasions.

Its a tactics game that also has (non tactics) space combat, with a ton of armor/weapons parts for yourself/team and your ship.
Not sure when the update is out, its just an announcement that its finally coming up.
Just part 1 though.
He's always been intent on making the game fun and playable rather than having a fleshed out story that wasnt very fun.

It's the sequel to Call of Duty Modern Warfare, which is not linked to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Humble Bundle has a pretty sizeable Capcom collection up.
$20 for Monster Hunter World (base game), Devil May Cry V, Devil May Cry HD Collection (1-3), DmC, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, Ultra Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter V (base game), Strider, and Bionic Commando (with 50% off coupons for Monster Hunter Rise and Street Fighter V Season Pass 5)

For those series, only really missing Monster Hunter World's Iceborne expansion, Devil May Cry 4, and the (other) season passes of Street Fighter V, and the summer sale is coming up this month.

just a heads up because some friends were pitching me to pick up monster hunter rise when it was on sale for 50% about a month or so ago, there's an expansion dropping for it in a month or so, capcom's trying to snooker you into picking up the base game cheap(ish) and then getting you to pay full price for the expansion, thrifty steam bargain hunters beware

They didn't refuse to budge on anything they didn't have the financial resources to go back in and completely redo parts of the game, so when it was pointed out, SWERY went "oh, wow, I didn't realize, I'll fix what I can" the same twitter mob that went after it then went "it's not enough you garbage transphobe, still not buying your game"

This has nothing to do with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

If you put numbers that are too big on the end of a series you'll scare off new players. Players will be intimidated by "Call of Duty 20" if they didn't play 1 through 19.

Traditionally devs solved this problem by just adding new subtitles like Modern Warfare or Black Ops or Infinite Warfare or whatever.
But then they got lazy and stupid and decided to just start reusing names instead? Tomb raider and doom are doing the same thing.
