installing bloodlines then huffing the steam deck vent while playing turns you into a vampire

jagged alliance 3 is pretty good, they've definitely taken some cues from the larian games, you run around looting little maps and getting in encounters, which switches everything to turn based mode, but at the same time it retains it's own thing where you're recruiting mercs temporarily and they have personalities and like affinity bonuses and you're getting emails, and there's a fake internet and everything

croup youre gonna love it, there's so much reading

That's all in jagged alliance 2 btw, so it's nothing to do with larian. Ja2 owns (as does 3!)

extremely good. the devs made deck specific config presets for 30 fps and the controls work pretty well.

its very much a modernized version of ja2 and i love it so far

I'm really enjoying dave the diver so far but you can really tell it was an early access game because I've played a number of minigames at this point that are clearly just there because the dev needed something to do so they didn't burn themselves out

As someone who hasn’t played the previous games, Jagged Alliance 3 seems really good. I really like that each of the mercs had their own personality and unique skills. Definitely a step up from XCOM in that regard, although I’m devastated that Ivan’s “gain AP on kills” skill isn’t something I can get on my entire squad, it’s so loving good. Difficulty also seems good overall, a dude with an AK-47 is a serious threat even on the easiest possible setting. They let you make your own mercenary, and I horribly gimped mine, he can only carry 4 items because his strength is rock-bottom. Still, he has enough explosives skill to disarm mines and use a rocket launcher, so I guess he is still more useful than me irl. Overall strong recommend.

it's one of those games that might be ok but because no one has played it, it's very hard to get reviews

it's a shame because eco terrorist werewolves is very 2023

the eco terrorist thing is actually the og 90s werewolf which I think that game used. current werewolf is the very 2023 thing of them all being totem worshiping wiccans

Some celestial event. No- no words. No words to describe it. Poetry! They should have sent a poet. So beautiful. So beautiful... I had no idea

never played jagged alliance before but i'm having fun with ja3, i'm glad they gave the option to show hit chance because it felt weird without it. might just be all the time spent playing xcom
