Ah, now the true potential of this game can finally be unlocked. It was an awesome game, with modtools this one can easily become a classic like Amnesia has become.

Fucking insane. Then again Turkey and Greece hate each other with a passion unseen in this world. They have been enemies since a long, long time ago and the terrible wound of the Armenian genocide Turkey perpetrated on the Balkans and on Greece will never heal by the looks of it.

Hence Greece is VERY serious about people snooping on their military. Still, this is insane.

Awww, did I hurt the feelings of a few fanboys? Take it to the Black Mesa forums where they get in line to kiss their ring.

The only one with hurt feelings here is apparently you. You keep crying like a little girl, and wonder why people laugh at you.


I get amusement riling up the children here so easily. Look at that last post. Two or three replies and this place exploded. The precious little defenseless Black Mesa mod must be protected from the big meanies. Love it.

It reminds me of the DNF fanboys...

Get in your fucking thick skull that nobody here is a fan of Black Mesa but the mod is free and since it's free nothing is lost by trying it. Holy shit you lately sound like you came from the special bus.

People are seriously overestimating next-gen capabilities.

Yes, and if the 6670 rumor is true then people are going to be severely disappointed with the next console generation since an average PC nowadays is much better than a box with a fucking 6670 card.

The new generation is the biggest danger to the industry as I've always said. I believe it will have a 6670 card or the equivalent and shatter the hopes of many console gamers.

I tried this, but it felt so underwhelming and overwhelming at the same time...

This is nowhere near the quality of Diablo2:LOD or even D3 in its current state...

...gotta look elsewhere for that ARPG fix...

It has changed in major ways and still does, the game is pretty much unrecognizable from 3 months ago. When did you play it?

I agree, I've got 28h myself in FTL

The alternative layout to the Kestrel is quite awesome, try and get the achievements for Kestrel to get the more awesome alternative.

Also, the secret Engie warship given to the federation is a pain to play.

Which one did you get John? Not sure which generation you are upgrading from, but how does it compare to the 500 series? I have a 560ti (awesome card) but I'm looking at upgrading again.

"Oh Prez is probably in need of getting a new card, he hasn't got one in the last 3 hours."

Been having an insanely amount of fun with FTL. Wonder how it will do when it's officially released on the 14th. At $10 it would be insane not to buy FTL.

And the alternative type of the Federation Ship is kickass.

Man, that's good news. I didn't know the full version was coming so soon.

After 40 hours I've beaten OMD2 by 5 skulling every level (classic and story) on War Mage for both characters and Nightmare for the warmage. I don't really have anything left to do in it, though I wish I did. That leaves a wide open window for my gaming, and though I have an enormous backlog there's little I want to play other than more OMD2, but FTL looks very promising.

I was shocked at how awesome the bloody game is. They've given the beta to all kickstarters and they gave it as a Steam key. I've been shocked at putting 25H into the game and I only got it 4 days ago. I was expecting a good game given the premise but what I got was a freaking awesome, tense, amazing game. The simple graphics and chip-tunes give an impression of a relatively simple game but god damn, the game keeps forcing you to make tense decisions all the time. I won't be surprised if this game becomes a classic. For me it's my game of the year and I don't see anything that can overthrow it other than Natural Selection 2. It's that damn good.

Is that coming out on steam at the same time or later? I saw gog mentioned, as well as steam keys...

Thanks!

It's coming on Steam on the 14th and I think GOG too, though I was given a Steam key for the beta and not a full .exe file.

Also, for those wishing to see more of the game and reviewers having a blast playing it:

FTL is becoming "trendy" now?

Well, it is an awesome game so I have no doubt this has all the potential to become a classic.

+1 for FTL

I am having a god damn blast playing FTL. I'm now trying to get achievements to unlock separate designs and new ships but god damn, the final boss is a nightmare to defeat.

And I still only unlocked the 2 designs for the Enge(sic) ship. The second design is nuts, only one crew member, the rest is robots and the ship comes without sensors.

I funded Xenonauts kickstarter and I have to say it is the old Xcom as we want it and it even improves on it in some areas. The Cold War setting is also a good fit as well. Like others here I am not getting the Xcom vibe from this remake. I'll wait for reviews from the community before I take the plunge on this one.

Have a look at this delicious forum thread where Wardell decides to set the record straight. This guy is a few beers short of a 6-pack. I'll bet his lawyers love him right about now.

When you find yourself in a hole: STOP DIGGING

He just keeps digging that hole deeper. The one commenter on there is right, his lawyers are going to kill him for publicly discussing his ongoing case on an open forum.
Good lord. That thread is unbelievable.

At this point, if his lawyers are anything sensible they should resign. Brad is literally destroying his own case in that thread to the point I'm not sure it's going to be recoverable.

I think, from what I've read, the most confusing part for me is this. Wardell claims Elemental was hurt by what she deleted when she left her office and moved to another job. This is what I don't understand, how could marketing stuff hurt a game by "spending "vital time" leading up to Elemental's release "attempting to re-create" the marketing materials, "rather than programming, debugging, and otherwise readying Elemental for release."". Why would they use programmers and game developers to re-create marketing material? That is very, very odd since game programmers and developers do have a specific job and it doesn't include making and re-creating marketing material and campaign. It's not in their job description and that kind of job is better made by marketers who could be hired easily at that point and could have re-created the marketing material within the time frame since this was not a huge, AAA kind of production.

The inference that Stardock used programmers to re-create marketing material instead of "programming, debugging, and otherwise readying Elemental for release" is mind-boggling. This, of all things, is a red flag for me, not to mention that even if he used the game programmers to re-create the marketing campaign, given the size of the project and how it turned out to be, it would have been quite wise to ditch the marketing material lost in favor of debugging and polishing. If that happened indeed then I can only say Brad is quite incompetent at assigning tasks and Elemental got hurt due to that as well.

The more things I hear about the next consoles the more I am convinced the 720 and PS4 will be to the 360 and PS3 what the WiiU is to the Wii. That is, the jump in technology won't be that big.
