CarrionCrow: You say dumb, I say self-sacrificing. ;)
I can see why you're in such a pleasant mood, just from the combo of vandals and cops alone.
I should have info on it before the sale ends. Installing it now, fingers crossed that it has a decent windowed mode.
Additional - I frigging swear I'm going backwards. Had my list under 150, headed for less than a hundred, but after updating it's back up to 174.
EndreWhiteMane: Since I won't have much to spend for a while I'm sure mine will do the same. ;)
Sucks, doesn't it? When you're not trying for the whole catalog (a game no one can win unless GOG goes out of business, which sure as hell wouldn't be winning in the grand scheme of things), your list is what you've got.
Went back through a few days ago and added some of the marginal interest/would buy it because it's old and comparatively rare things. (Along with some more of the "dear gods, I've heard horrible things so naturally I have to check them out" titles.)
Very first impressions - the game looks nice, well done graphically, it looks like there's an actual story (which is a godsend compared to the morass of nothingness you get with Soulstorm), and the voice acting seems all right.
Kinda weird that the beginning went from cutscene intro, to about fifteen seconds of field time showing me how to move units, then straight to another cutscene and more story.
Looks like it's not going to be a straight battle after battle affair, since right now I'm moving the leader around the main ship and having them talk to people.
Potential red flag - looking at the encyclopedia that's provided immediately, and there's a material called Shardium.
I remember Tiberium....I remember what a clusterfuck all things Tiberium-related became. Hoping this game doesn't go that route.
Potential red flag number 2 - just engaged in first combat and there's no weight at all to the units firing.
Might not be a big deal to some, just feels odd to see a giant robot with guns that makes your brain go "Pew, pew, pew!"
