/v/ - HAPPY E3 EVERYONE

How was this game anyway? Also you forgot to mention that there's new games on GOG Connect

Good goy GOG not being jewish for once. there's a ton of free games to grab through gog connect as well.

>GOG

More like GO suck a COCK

>>14902752

t. Steam kike

>>14902751

>totally not ip switching shill

>>14902749

It's a decent XCOM clone. There's a community patch that adds a ton of convenience features and bug fixes.

>>14902745

GoG games are always free :^) on a more serious note, since there's Xenonauts 2 already, I don't think devs care about statistics of the first one, so this is just an ad.

I remember I was talking about XCOM in a thread, and someone said a similiar game had XCOM EU like UFO chase mechanic but it was way more detailed. Was it this game?

Speaking of GOG…Dragon Dogma DA is around 10 bucks now, but I heard that its somewhat not updated to the latest. How much important are said updates? Its worthy to buy the game on GOG instead of Steam, even with this problem? Besides, the only online this game have is the Pawn system that i know, and I finished the game recently without even spending rift points (Why would I spend to get overleveled pawns when i could just get pawns of the same level anyways?) in the pirated version.

>this is just an ad.

Thanks for pointing that kikery out.

>>14902788

Let me guess, you're one of those "if you want to make any money on making games you're worse than Satan" people. That or "there's absolutely no good devs anymore, I checked them all".

>>14902749

It's an alright game but I feel like it's kind of "soulless", in the artstyle sense.

>>14902770

That's not out yet though, is it? Last I heard they released a demo like a year ago and not much else because I'm not a backer.

>>14902772

In Xenonauts it's a real time with pause sort of deal. It's certainly much more involved than that garbage Firaxis shat out but it eventually gets old when you get the hang of it and various enemy aircraft.

>>14902820

Look up UFO: Aftermath/Aftershock/Afterlight, kind of like X-Com, but in real time and post apocalyptic.

>>14902834

I loved the biomass in 1 and the whole politics aspect of 2 but I wouldn't describe the combat in either as anything more than borderline playable. Honestly they only got it right for Afterlight/3.

>>14902772

Yes

>>14902807

>it's kind of "soulless"

I agree, while I liked the game there's something just off about the art style, it doesn't feel right

>>14902858

That looks like extreme transport tycoon

The fuck is gog connect?

>>14902833

>2018

>using piratebay

>>14902885

if you have a steam account gog will give you the games for free that you already own

not all games are covered but they continue to add more stuff to their list

>>14902899

Shit I have like 200 steam games from tf2 trading, I wish I knew earluer

I already got it for free last time they gave it away apparently.

Neat, a free game. I was pretty excited for a more modern interface, but since OpenXCom got finished I had lost interest in Xenonauts. I'll get to check it now myself after all. I just wish the art didn't look so bland, it looks like instead of hiring a real artist they went for the guy on the dev team who was the least shit at drawing.

>>14902928

>>14902899

The offer only works for a limited time, so make sure to transfer your games while you still have the chance.

>>14902745

>>14902772

Xenonauts has a lot of stuff that ufo defense didn't have, but it also seems to lack the versatility that ufo defense had. For example when I played it the interceptors have barely half the range capability of the ufo defense ones. So enjoy doing really well defending the earth only for a ufo to do a fly by of south africa beyond your range, and make all your progress moot.

It's almost over. Get it while you can!

>>14902858

How is Open-Apocalypse?

>>14911999

Incomplete

>>14912040

Have they updated anything in the past month? I thought the project had ground to a halt.

>>14912135

Fuck off DRM cuck

>>14912118

There was some activity:

https://github.com/OpenApoc/OpenApoc/commits/master

>>14902752

that doesnt even make sense and i laughed anyway

>>14912186

You are obviously too retarded to breath if you saw support for steam in that post.

>>14902848

>>14902807

The game is gorgeous up until you actually start fighting aliens. The models and the tactical map are hideous in an unforgivable way. And that's without even addressing the flat soldier designs.

It really is a shame, hopefully they don't bring back whoever was responsible for designing the game like this for the sequel.

>>14902752

>implying

>>14912597

>>14902807

I actually like the artstyle. It physically looks sterile, clean I guess, without extra flashy bits. I specifically like the soldier designs as well, although I could do with less women and niggers. The alien models, in comparison, could use a little work, but they're not bad either. What's the gripe? I truly don't get it.

>>14925327

Thanks for bumping a 4 day old thread about a promotion that doesn't exist anymore.

>>14902749

its fun

>>14926008

Fun is just a copout way of saying 'i like it'. That's okay if you're just listing games you liked, but not as reason to recommend a game or to defend the quailty of a game. For all we know you could only like walking simulators and regen health shooters.

>>14925687

>What's the gripe? I truly don't get it.

It's okay anon, we can't expect people like you to get it.

>>14926151

xenonauts is fun though. it gives you that same x-com feel of starting small and ending up big, and also adds enough to the combat (riot shields especially) to keep things fresh. it's honestly the best "spiritual successor" i've ever seen an indie push out because it keeps enough of the old formula to feel familiar and adds enough new stuff to make it a new experience. great game

main problem with xenonauts is that ground combat is obtuse. terrain is all either blocks or walls, can't shoot around circular objects because most static map entities take up uniform rectangles, aliens are either complete laughingstocks or are going to gun down your entire squad through the smokescreen you set down, friendly NPC get in the way more often than actually assist and the art style makes your characters look like plastic molded toy soldiers

other than that I really think Xenonauts has a lot of really great, unique ideas. The concept of friendly armed NPC's, the dogfighting mechanics, the high level of weapon and equipment specialization, and being able to hire based on stats are all improvements to the formula.

>>14928915

There you go, you gave reasons why you like it. Most people just want other people to take them at face value and not take the effort of elaborating their views. I already have the game, i was and am drunk, and I get autistic when drunk. I totally believe that the "fun is a buzzword post" was correct. He just worded it very terribly

>>14928937

The devs have an official mod for the game so it wouldn't hurt to grab that too off their forums.

>>14902772

Well, sort of. It has an interception battle screen where you can order your interceptors around. It is boring, tedious, and you will do it frequently. Auto-resolve is not a viable workaround because auto-resolve scraps your fighters faster than losing.

It was a cool mechanic for a few interceptions before it makes you want UFO Defense interceptions back just so you don't have to deal with it.

>>14929364

Pizza is always tasty but that doesn't make microwave 99 cent pizzas any less suitable for consumption than dog food.

>>14929458

Tasty doesn't mean healthy it just means eating the food is enjoyable. I guess the closest game equivalent for healthy would be 'pro consumer'. So the latest Hitman game i've heard is just as good as blood money, but it's been mired with the always online shit, season passes and other bullshit like that. So the game be tasty but unhealthy for you.

>>14929277

Largely subjective.

Games are an entertainment medium - their PRIMARY purpose is to be entertaining. If they entertain someone, then they are fulfilling that purpose, and are therefore good for that individual.

>>14929277

Yes.
