It's one of my favorite movies, but it's a pretty self-contained narrative. What would a sequel even look like? Maybe a prequel with the Angel of Verdun would be cool.

I wrote a comment for what I think a sequel could be back on February 26, 2017, "Cage gets the initial ability from an Alpha Mimic. Aware of this, the Omega launches an effort to end Cage's life to defeat humanity. Of course, once the Omega dies, its ability transfers to Cage. All the Mimics have died, so nothing is hunting him to take his ability. The sequel could explore what Omega's abilities passed to Cage. Perhaps less 'Edge of Tomorrow' and more 'Arrival.'" I also thought if Cage has children would he pass on his abilities since it's in the blood? Do they make him immortal? Would his offspring become a version of humanity that is immortal? Does this create conflict?

That sounds interesting to you and I, but I doubt Hollowood would go for it: no pew-pew.

Hey man, try Glovepie, I use it all the time ...

Thanks I will check this out.

I have a Great American Hotkeys Script.

It starts up with the computer and I have one script that I use for all games, since you can assign a chunk of hotkey code to a specific game process. So when Skyrim is in focus do this... Destiny 2 in focus do that... when out of game it will then work normally. Not bad, but I could see an app with a nice interface being better.

That said Hotkey and possibly this to, has some crazy good options like in DDO if I click in a certain area, in this case playing a Cleric on the Player 1-6's health bar, it will know which player I clicked and automatically heal them. That is super sweet.

Destiny 2 doesn't allow load-outs, so I press a button and it goes into inventory and changes between two sets way faster than any human can do it, by going to position X-Y Click, next position X-Y click etc. It has crazy powerful commands.

You can also do one macro most don't have and it is cycling. Most are either option A or B, you can program it to cycle as deep as you want using variables, comes in handy as well, did that for Guild Wars 2.

Thanks HorrorScope !
I will check out Great American Hotkeys Script.
Very interested in macros (though a little wary too).

Now that script is just what I call my script, here is an example.... Hotkey scripts are just txt files you can edit but with an .ahk
(I use a Razer Hex and a Nostromo so many some things don't make sense)

The WinActive you put in the games class name and that script will only run when the game is running, it starts with { and end's with }.
So you could have 100's of games in here if you want, just section each off.
Skyrim is simply make this key do this instead, so I don't have to remap my mouse or nostromo.
Destiny gets deeper into things, based on a 1440P screen.
Small snip from GW for cycling.
Small snip from DDO, click certain space on screen - do this.

I was going to buy it... then I saw I already own it. So I guess I'll finally get to play it in a couple of months

Aarklash Legacy, that game with the itsy bitsy tiny unreadable text and zero documentation provided, I never got past that. How do I play this, bring up help/tool tips, too small can't read, no way to change font size, duh. How too throw away the hours of other design that went into this game. Did the devs for this only have 640x480 monitors?

The game is right up my alley but it was poorly designed in many ways that only got me so far, I think there was a demo or something like that and that was enough.

It's free, clean, and very light, doesn't need setup/installing.

Allows you to assign keys, and even mouse buttons not already in use by the game.
But also you can make 2 or more keys function at the same time.
(Walking makes you also dash, etc etc.)
I've completed many a game otherwise unplayable.
It has a GUI to easily do what you want.

This, though, is more for the experienced user:
Assign mouse look, or mouse turn, to games that don't have it.
Just paste the commands you need, you can use *any* key.
Key.Left = delta(Mouse.DirectInputX) < -1 in mickeys
Key.Right = delta(Mouse.DirectInputX) > 1 in mickeys
Key.up = delta(Mouse.DirectInputY) < -1 in mickeys
Key.down = delta(Mouse.DirectInputY) > 1 in mickeys

Put a "// " to transforms any line to commentary, without effect, for easy experimenting.

Talking of french game studios : Spiders (spidersgames), I love them.

- Greedfall, their most successful game yet
- Mars Wars Logs
- Bound by Flame, not well received but I enjoyed it very much
- Of Orcs and Men, 1st appearence of Styx as sidekick of the hero orc.
(made with Cyanide, another french studio I love, makers of other 2 Styx starred games, Game of Thrones RPG, Aarklash Legacy, etc, etc)
- Also have TechnoMage, and Faery Legends of Avalon, but didn't play them yet.

So many of the games I liked the most are European made.
And many of them are mostly unknown to the USA public.

i think they got on people's radars with greedfall, it sold over a million units.

i'm really looking forward to steelrising, the quality of their games has been steadily trending up. i hope they return to the unremittingly bleak settings that i loved in war logs and bound by flame, though. greedfall was unusually not-overtly-depressing.

I wonder if it will have a Japanese voice track. Midgar is a French studio.

As I posted in Out of the Blue, got this, 33% off for a time on Steam .
Has a "very positive rating", the consensus is that the devs are truly dedicated -polishing now till june 8th-, and the game is gorgeous.
