Armageddon is great, and you really get attached to your units by the end. I still remember some of the crazy poo poo that was held back by my imperial guardsmen while the Space Marines and tanks took objectives.

Thanks for reminding me of Barbarossa to Berlin, I still have it on a cd somewhere. I'm probably old enough to actually play it properly now.

ArchangeI posted:From last thread: No arguments that Steam is broken, but isn't some limited exposure better than absolutely zero exposure? Why not have the game available on every platform? It's not like releasing the game on steam will prevent them from selling the game as they currently do. Even if they dislike steam, there are plenty of other options like GoG, itch, or even Paradox. I only found out about the game through people talking about it in the previous thread. I imagine being able to find it by searching through the "naval" or ww1/2 tags on steam would provide some decent exposure.

Tythas posted:I will never understand why they are so anti 3rd party, It's not like they will lose their IP Because I worked hard making this and if someone who didn't work on the game gets a cut, it's exactly the same as piracy. You are stealing food from my plate. I would make more money selling the game on a website from the '80s to 5 people than I would selling it to potentially hundreds of thousands of people on steam. Because Steam's cut would mean 0 dollars for me, it's just a modern form of piracy, you see.

MrYenko posted:It’s not perfect, but it’s super solid, and I think it’s worth the $40. It’s also brazenly clear that Paradox intends about a gajillion DLC packs... Joke's on them, Rome is already playable, I ain't gonna buy dlc for some bumblefuck barbarian tribes in the middle of nowhere. I'm only half-joking too, the only dlc that would interest me is stuff that fleshes Rome out more.

Uboat is very much traditionally Early Access, and all the criticism that has been posted so far is accurate. However, it's looking great so far and has the potential to be the WW2 sub game I've always wanted. Still very positive on it, but don't buy it yet if you're looking for something to play right now.

Zaodai posted:I actually feel bad for that guy. It seems like he made a well meaning but poorly informed decision and has realized the error of his ways but they've got him by the balls and now he'll never escape. Why doesn't the dev do a rebranding/asset flip of his own game? Just release a "new" game on steam with a different name that happens to play exactly the same as this other game he made? Sure he might lose some of that brand recognition, but let's be honest, it's a grog game there isn't much to begin with.

Yooper posted:Devs at Battlefront have commented a bit on the CM1.0 release. Looks like a pseudo test for digital release on other platforms though they seem suspicious of meeting sales requirements. I'm not sure how the doubling of sales argument comes up. Isn't it like $100 to sell on Steam? So they sell a handful of games and they're in the black, it's not like the games haven't been developed yet. I wonder if they are calculating it as if the game has been freshly developed and are testing to see if they could break even? It's a stupid thing to do, but I think they are using their old games to see if newly released titles will be fiscally viable on other stores? It doesn't make much sense, but then again I have yet to see a grog dev that does.

So I did something naughty and bought Barbarossa to Berlin from GOG and, graphics and controls aside, it's a really loving good wargame. Better than I remember it being, especially now that I'm not a dumb teenager who has no idea how to play. One thing though, I could have sworn there were decals for armor hits and penetrations. Maybe it was added in by a mod or something but I swear I remember being able to see where a shell hit and penetrated on the tank. Does anyone else remember this, or am I misconstruing BB with men of war or something?

Unimpressed posted:It's because you're a loving idiot if you don't agree you need to spend 300 hours testing various options and documenting them before I call you a loving idiot again and maybe fix the problem two years later you loving idiot. W-what if I buy another module? W-would that fix it? Also how does spotting work? Why can't my APC commander see the BMP that's literally 15 meters in front him, in the open. Also he's unbuttoned and staring at it. I went down to eye level and it literally takes up 3/4 of his view. Like he would have to put more effort in to not seeing it. Hell, he could probably smell the vodka and hear the crew singing Kalinka over the engine noise at that distance. And why is there a voice in the Bradley's engine sound recording?

Ivan Shitskin posted:I would suggest backing off a bit. 15 meters is way, way too close. Weird things tend to happen when units are extremely close to each other like that. Since the game doesn't model gun elevations and tanks can do things like fire at the upper floors of a tall building at point blank range, they compensated for it by making it take an extremely long time to acquire targets at close range. This allows infantry to do things like rush a tank and knock it out with grenades or satchel charges without the tank being able to do anything about it, since the tank would not be able to lower its gun far enough or even see the infantry next to it. Some weapons also have minimum ranges as well. So weird things happen at close range but 99% of the time you would never notice because engagement ranges are normally measured in hundreds or thousands of meters. This was on the shock force mission where you have to defend a castle from an attack, so I had an ifv with a 20mm gun waiting behind a building to shoot at anything that drove past. A BMP drove right in front of my ifv and sat there for a good minute and a half before it spotted my weasel and popped it. My weasel sat there for a minute doing nothing, then I unbuttoned the commander, who sat there for 30 seconds before blowing up. My ifv also knew it was there due to radio coms, but couldn't actually see it. Good tips though, I'll keep that in mind next time.

ZombieLenin posted:I prefer Black Sea to SF, playing the overwhelming force side of asymmetrical is a kind of fun that doesn’t last very long for me. You can totally play US vs Britain or Germany. In a sense, BS is more unbalanced because the US will always have tactical firepower superiority over the Russians. In SF, you can have relatively equal matchups with the Syrians too because they get T-90s at the top end while the Abrams variants aren't quite as advanced as in BS.

One thing that's really interesting with SF is that you can simulate what's currently going on with the Syrian Government forces vs Rebels/Insurgents. I think it's pretty much the only game that covers the ongoing conflict.

I really want to try a IIc campaign. I played with lots of mods and I think one of them let you transfer to other ports. So I just sailed from Wilhelmshaven and later from France.
