Has anyone played this yet? What's it like? Should I buy it? https://indiegamestand.com/store/755/ultimate-space-commando/ http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=177153955

Cause i do!

I'm passing this along because lately the developers are trying to attract more people to be aware of the game/sim, and are having voting rounds (the Body Part Voting Competition Thingy or BPVCT) where you can vote on what sort of new creature body part you want to have in the game, a choice from four each round and you can suggest your own in the main area. Registration is free, no nonsense or anything, it's a fairly grassroots project like xenonauts, and download of the software is free at this early stage in development. This stage in development is part of improving looks of the creatures, among other things, you can subscribe to have the blog update right in your email when changes come along. What this thing is : Heard of Simlife, SimEarth, Spore, or other more obscure life simulators? Thinking along those lines, here is the website's description. "Species: Artificial Life, Real Evolution is a scientifically-accurate natural-selection video game. It allows you to experience evolution first-hand, simulated from the very first principles of evolutionary science: Variation (every creature is uniquely defined by it’s genes), Mutation (child creatures are randomly modified versions of their parents), and Natural Selection (the environment affects every creature in their struggle to survive). With these principles as it’s gameplay mechanics, Species recreates the same unguided pressures that drove the development of all life on earth over the last 4 billion years. Whether you just want to observe, watching and studying as the tree of life constructs itself from a single species, or you want to be an active influence on the development of the species in the game, is up to you.

The Hulk has come once more. Shall we rise up to claim it? [video=youtube;JUYPV8jBuqM] Though, $30 seems a tad...overpriced... Release Date: August 15th

This is a Sims thread..............................Nuff said

After an unsuccessful attempt to start this discussion in another thread, here it is, to avoid confusion. Which are the best games you have played the last 5 years? Note that this does not mean that the game has to be released in the last 5 years. Only to have played it. Here is my list: X-COM: EU + TFTD Fallout 2 + 3 + NV Gothic 3 Heroes of Might and Magic IV + VI Civilization IV + V Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction Dragon Age: Origins Elder Scrolls III+IV+V(Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim) Two Worlds The Witcher: Enchanted Edition Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic 2 Sid Meier's Pirates Age of Wonders I+II LotR: The battle for Middle Earth(The first in the series. I did not like the others) Total War: Medieval II + Rome UFO: Aftermath + Aftershock Company of heroes + Opposing fronts Command and Conquer: Generals Build a Lot 5: Elizabethan era Fantasy General Panzer General Stonekeep(yeap I played it the last 5 years!!Long live DosBox!!) Anvil Of Dawn Theme Hospital X-COM2012(not as a worthy X-COM remake, Just as a standalone game) Hmmm. I think this must be all(the best of them ). So, what is your list?

[video=youtube;sGjwzY1ZdOw] http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/5livesstudios/satellite-reign Satellite Reign is a real-time, class-based strategy game. You control a team of four agents, each with distinct and unique abilities, collectively battling for control of a fully simulated, living cyberpunk city. The game world is designed to facilitate emergent gameplay, giving you the tools and freedom to play how you want to play, so you can create strategies and scenarios that not even we had anticipated! Customize your team with the strength to destroy your enemies head-on, or hack into their facilities to manipulate their infrastructure without them ever knowing you were even there. Will you take down your enemies with brute-force? Covert espionage and infiltration? Or will you use propaganda to influence the citizens of the city and overthrow the controlling powers? http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/07/02/satellite-reign-and-syndicates-simulation-legacy/ (Very informative RPS interview) The city is huge and you can move around and tackle objectives however you want to. You won't be spoon-fed one mission after another, you'll be able to use whatever means you can to get to your final goal. Bribe scientists to advance your technologies, and kidnap doctors to augment your agents. Steal money from the banks to fund your war against the corporations, and exploit neural implants to bend the will of others. Or, try to take your objectives through good old-fashioned brute-force.

Hi does anybody know if anyone might be thinking of redoing syndicate the old amiga turn based game? Or syndicate wars the old ps1 game. I know i would buy that game..

Thoughts, anyone? Seems to have come a long way.

Once you click, quickly mute the left video and just lean back and enjoy!! Man it gave me shivers! Watch this and shiver!

Still avoiding Xenonauts until its ready to play? Looking for a (free) real time tactical hybrid squad based game?? Haven't spent long on it yet, but really enjoying this little gem on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.redBeardSoft.gameEngine_final Can't comment on its longevity yet..

Have you guys seen X@Com, the ASCII-based X-Com game? It's actually quite impressive, as far as visual flare (ironically enough). The interface animations alone are pretty impressive, and they do a surprising job of creating atmospheric/pyro effects with their limited graphic engine (ASCII!). I guess that the Xenonaut engine pretty much has static text display, but if not, I'd love to see some sort of animation treatment like seen in X@Com.

I can say, I've played quite a lots of them: - X-COM: UD - X-COM: TFTD - X-COM: Apocalypse - UFO: Extraterrestrials (couldn't really get past certain poing despite several tries) - Jagged Alliance 2, 2.5, Wildfire - Silent Storm - Silent Storm: Sentinels - XCOM EU 2012 Games I've tried but couldn't really get into them: - The UFO series with active pause - real-time and SLS don't mix very well. - Fallout Tactics: BoS - as a harcore Fallout fan I was gravely disappointed this not being Fallout 3 and boycotted the game. Tried to play it lately - not that bad, but doesn't have "that something". - UFO: Alien Invasion - played some early build, half of things weren't working. - Some turn based Warhammer 40k game - meh - Hammer&Sickle - RPG based on Silent Storm placed in Cold War theme. So much potential, so poor execution

well.. topic says it shortly. Long version needs some more information. like: resolution 1900x1200 all settings maxed out (everything as far as games own things allow) looking at the game.. it seems.. odd. odd as in quite lot of times, there is "water everywhere" effect, namely that no matter where you go, it sounds like you are jumping in puddles. also monsters tend to glitch up/down nauseatingly. FPS count (as claimed by fraps) is 15 to 40. with total hang whenever more than 3 npc's are in sight.(outside cities) does resolution and detail amount affect either of those? display/sound bugs no. GPU usage is around 50% CPU usage is 45 to 50% at most. add in msi afterburner. set FPS limit to 59 (one below screens refresh rate) check again. no "water everywhere bug" no glitching monsters... FPS count is topped out 95% of time with few dips down to 20's IF there are like 25 to 30 npc's beating each other (warzones mod) GPU usage is at 80 to 95% CPU usage is in 50 to 70% don't get me wrong.. i'm happy that it runs 300% better now i'm just not sure HOW limiting maximum FPS amounts to vanishing glitches and HUGE performance boost.

You should see the turmoil thats going on in the warthunder community regarding patch 1.29 at the minute - the discussions here are comparatively tame and constructive by comparison! And in Chris, we seem to have a perfect lead developer who listens to what we have to say (both good and bad) and keeps us informed about what he and the team are doing. Surely he can only be onto a winner with that attitude... I've been surpressing the anticipation for xen by keeping busy with my own wargame project & playing warthunder - both good ways to stop being impatient for its release!

Funded in ~6 hrs (900.000$): http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/torment-tides-of-numenera The traditional publisher business model is the Bastille and this is the storming of it. I won't bother you with additional info as there's too much of it. Yes, there are always risks but this is as earnest as effort as there is going to be for this kind of thing and now's the chance to raise your sword and drive home the point that you've had enough of MMOs and microtransactions, "social gaming" and other bullshit. There is yet room for art.

I just found that Silent Storm and Silent Storm Sentinals are packaged together as a gold edition and dirt cheap on gog.com. These are some great games in the TBT genre. They are pretty dated but still well worth the money to play around with between releases. I am still having a hard time playing Xeno more than a few missions at a time due to the AI, but I am betting when it is all complete you won't be able to pry me away. So, just wanted to share my find.

Just thought I would throw the website out there for anyone who has fond memories of this one. Slated for a 2013 release by the company who made Frontline Tactics. http://www.spacehulk-game.com/about.html Highlights: Single player campaign Co-op against AI genestealers Multiplayer head to head (terminators against genestealers) Cross platform play IOS, Pc and Mac It's Space Hulk!
