my son was very happy to start with Fallout 1, so i gave him my extra GOG key codes for that (and Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics)

I loved Fallout Tactics BTW and can recommend it. It is a little off track compared to the main ones tho.

FO:T was fun. It's not canon (deathclaws in the Brotherhood of Steel?), but it was fun. I did find that it became a little long, though.

Re: Video Games Randomness - Prioritize specific game threads!
I liked it too. I didn't get it for years after release cause I was mad it wasn't Fallout 3. But I liked it and finished it . I doubt I could stand it now as its turn based. back many years ago that was my favorite way to do gun combat games.

Re: Video Games Randomness - Prioritize specific game threads!
Finished Jedi Survivor and was in the mood for more Star Wars. Started KOTOR 2 with the restored content mod. It’s a game I finished years ago on my XBox but remember very little about. It’s neat, but boy does it look really rough.
What I wouldn’t give for a current gen party-based Star Wars RPG instead of all the action-focused games we’re getting.

Re: Video Games Randomness - Prioritize specific game threads!
I don't think that is entirely correct. I distinctly remember setting my guys up at long range for easy fights and then unpausing and letting them shoot.
The wiki says:
Fallout Tactics features three modes of combat: Continuous Turn-Based (CTB), Individual Turn-Based (ITB), and Squad Turn-Based (STB). In CTB, everyone can act at the same time, and action points are regenerated at a rate based on the Agility stat. ITB is the system used in the original games. STB is a variation of that wherein each turn is given to a squad. Other changes include the ability to change stance, modifiers for height, and setting sentry modes, which let characters shoot automatically in CTB upon encountering an enemy.

In practical terms, it has a real time mode.

Re: Video Games Randomness - Prioritize specific game threads!
I was looking at The Ascent. Its a action rpg is says ....Diablo meets twin stick shooter. It made me wish it was a true rpg and a 3 person team real time with pause. Its a beautiful game world but I dont care for twin stick shooters much. But a full out rpg would rock.

Re: Video Games Randomness - Prioritize specific game threads!
Recently Ive had the urge to play a LEGO Star Wars game. ive tried the older ones and just wasn't happy with them or the way they played. So I was at a loss as to what to retry when today one of the freebies from Twitch was LSW 3 The Clone Wars...woot! Score something to do lol.
Also been thinking about replaying the first of the new Tomb Raider games The one on the wacky island where Lara get stabbed through her side and it never bothers her...which bugged the hell out of me lol. And another of those freebies was the GotY edition of that one Yay me!

Early Access.
"Laysara: Summit Kingdom is a challenging city builder which tasks you with creating a new home for your people forced out of the lowlands. During a campaign or sandbox playthrough, you will establish multiple towns, each on a unique mountain with its own traits. All your towns co-exist in symbiosis, creating a trading network, which you can then adjust to your needs by revisiting already developed settlements."
The trouble with early access is one never reliably knows how long before full launch. Developers are currently estimating 6 - 12 months, however.
So sayeth the wise Alaundo.

Re: Video Games Randomness - Prioritize specific game threads!
looks kinda neat. Could build your own Machu Picchu.
I think the best looking builder game right now is Manor Lords. Dont own it though so it may be great or awful.
I need to go back to City Skylines. I kinda miss the simplicity of the first Sim City or better yet Sim City 2000. These builders today put WAY too much stuff in their games.

Re: Video Games Randomness - Prioritize specific game threads!
I think this was the first game I modded myself without downloads. I don't remember how, but it was possible to make your character anything. A bug, a lizard, a deathclaw. I remember trying to play as a Fly for a while and had real challenges since they couldn't actually do everything your character normally could.

Re: Video Games Randomness - Prioritize specific game threads!
Anyone played The Callisto Protocol? im thinking it looks like Dead Space. Ive read some negs on the combat but most Steam reviews praise the game and say ignore the older bad reviews.

Re: Video Games Randomness - Prioritize specific game threads!
Yesterday was my 55th birthday. 6th without my wife. Someone kindly gave me a game here and then my best online buddy gave me Midnight Suns....one is twin stick and one is turn based combat lol. Two things I once loved but have fallen out with over the years. I think its time I bore down and gave them both really hard goes and see if I can shake my silliness off.

Grabbed it via monthly humble bundle. Have not installed it yet. Reviews weren't great, but I think it scratches the right itch for me, so I'll get to it eventually.hitbyambulance wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2024 5:12 pmgot it free with my AMD video card purchase last year, but i never got a chance to boot it up...
