I feel like it wont be SMTV because they sped up the amount of demons they're showing off, which is not a thing you do if your game is about to be delayed

Seriously though anyone who hasn't played Starsiege should do it. You might be more familiar with the spinoff series it birthed set in the same universe, Starsiege: Tribes - but personally, I think the original is just such a better game, even if Tribes is really fun. It itself was the sequel to the Earthsiege games, and the Cyberstorm games were also set in the same universe. And the studio has since released the game for free! Mechanically, it's a mech game, although it is (personally speaking) vastly superior to the Mechwarrior games. Choose a chassis, customize with a variety of weapons, mostly choosing between bullets, explosives, directed energy, "blink" weapons that bypass shields, and radiation weapons that attack enemy pilots directly (assuming they are flesh pilots). Secondary equipment like cloaking or laser marker tools for artillery support or shield modulators to let you focus your shields in a particular direction. Missions often have multiple objectives and a variety of surprises. Chassis include classic two legged mechs of clunky variety and sleek and quick variety, plus hover vehicles, and my favorite, the tank. There's nothing quite so satisfying as entering a battlefield full of fancy mechs with a tank that has a turbo booster and a ram at the front and just plowing through those pathetic legs. Oh yeah, that reminds me - all damage is locational, so concentrating fire is really important. Sometimes against hardened enemies, your priority targets will be trying to damage their exposed weapons to limit their offensive capacity before laying on the pain against a part that will destroy them. And you don't just customize your own mech - you've eventually got a whole squad you can form with hand picked pilots of various sorts, and if they die on a mission they are straight up dead, so if you like them try and keep them alive. The real draw is the two-part campaign. Humanity is rebuilding from a war with a group of human created machine intelligences called the cybrid. They won that war, and no one has seen any sign of the cybrid for two centuries. As earth rebuilds, they do it by heavily exploiting the offworld colonies as part of their Earth First policies, and in the first campaign you play as a martian that has joined the a small scale rebellion against the Imperial forces under the emperor after the local miners discover a hidden cache of alien weaponry and manage to get some of it working, basically strapping advanced alien plasma technology to their mining HERCs. You get a sense of the story not just through the missions, but through the constant news ticker that is... well it's basically twitter, actually, imagined from the mid-1990s, including hackers hijacking "official" accounts. It's got a number of memorable accounts talking about whats happening in other places and making the universe feel more alive than in most games from the era, and even many games from today. And what you learn from them is that poo poo is hitting the fan in more ways than one. Yes, the outer colonies are all getting in on this active rebellion thanks to your progress, but there's also scarier stuff going on as footnotes until it happens - someone dies, and during the autopsy they learn that someone was not just the skin they were wearing. The cybrid still exist, somewhere out at the edges of the solar system, and have apparently been quite busy even as they've stayed below the radar. They built many cybrid minds, and one of their newer strategies has been to cut the brains out of humans and replace them with a cybrid infiltrator brains. The whole of humanity has been compromised, and the Cybrid see the civil war as an opportunity to start taking risks and eventually launch an all out offensive, causing the warring factions to join forces even as humanity is once again brought to the brink of destruction. The second campaign has you playing as the Cybrid, and things become... a lot more complicated. Simple beings these artificial intelligences are not, and during their centuries of isolation they've been built for a variety of specialized roles, and then grown and learned and changed. While they don't think like humans, they have not escaped factionalism, and even as you wage war on the apes that threaten the existence of your species you must also deal with internal dissent, as the cybrid forces have split into those who want to wage a war of total annihilation and a faction that has decided that actually developed some kind of sympathy for humanity (although the motives of the individual cybrid minds that make it up vary a lot). For being machine intelligences, the cybrids have a surprising amount of individuality. This means that you do have to be careful about which pilots you pick on certain missions - no matter how much you might like that skilled pilot, they can and will turn on you during certain missions, and if you're a real bad judge of character having half your squad go rogue is gonna make things a whole fuckton harder, and when it happened to me and two of my team turned, it loving hurt. You bastards, I raised you up from nothing because I liked you, and this is how you repay me!? Anyway, game sold like poo poo but it was really awesome and its worth playing and it will never get remade or remastered and that makes me sad.

Starsiege was one of my favorite games when I was growing up. I played it for hours everyday when it was a new game. Now that i'm an adult with disposable income, i've given up on the giant mech sim genre in video games, because all of the modern day attempts are bad, and I just play the table top Battletech game instead.

Starsiege will also always hold a place in my heart because it was how I got into "modding", by which I mean I realized I could edit the image files to skin my Hercs however I wanted and oh boy did I.I said come in! posted:Do you have more info on where to get this and how to get it running on Windows 10?

Last time I got it running was a while ago, before they released it for free, so I'll look into it and see if anything has changed (hopefully for the better). I've got the itch to play it again anyway.

Been playing some more It Takes Two with Lady VG and it might be one of the best games I have ever played. Each section is just long enough for me to want more with the tools provided while not wearing out the welcome. It looks and moves phenomenally on my Digi5 and it controls great. It has been a truly lovely surprise  Also apparently we are just over halfway through so I am inching towards FFVIIoriginal. Might be this Sunday I get to play it

I feel like Baldur's Gate 3 is the next major game that's gonna get delayed. It's supposed to be out of early access in a month and I don't think I've heard anything from Larian saying like "oh yeah we've got this full steam ahead" in a long time.

Graveyard Keeper is definitely my favorite farming sim so far. No romance, rough writing, progression is a bit wonky, but I really like the concept and the setting and god it feels so nice to automate the tasks that used to take all your time in a way that lets you quickly and easily reallocate your automation resources. Also I finally figured the teleport stone is infinite use and smacked myself for taking so long to buy it and try it

Relax Or DIE posted:It Takes Two was a blast to play, save for maybe being a little long overall. It has a great look too. Lady VG and I are properly into it. The gameplay writing makes us laugh and Hakeem is a good foil for us to go 'ugh' with. Though she hates the parents so much and keeps getting angry and shouting at them. I admit they have an awful method for fixing things right now! Break their childs' favourite toy to make her cry?! No parent should want to do that!! Plus a bit of whiplash between how sad the cutscenes can be and how happy and jolly the gameplay can be.

Someone made what is more or less a little Densha de Go game in Pico-8 and I cannot stop playing it, it is super goddamn relaxing. Plays in your browser. Drive a train through a chill little landscape with chill little music. Try and stop perfectly to pick up passengers or just... don't and enjoy the scenery and tunes. I highly recommend it.  https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=41332 Mode 7 fucked around with this message at 11:14 on Sep 15, 2021 |
