As a rule, I'm not interested in RTS unless it has a pause feature so I can stop to plan when I need to. Doesn't look like Steel Division 2 has this so I'll pass.

I'm considering to go for Commandos ... because I'm seriously concerned you might remove the original versions again!? smh GOG

Time to grab Iron Marines. Yeah boi!

Steel Division2 is another game where the storefronts screenshots make it look like something else.

For the people that have it,what is the game like and what's the difference between the base game and the fully upgraded version.

Basically a grand battlefield RTS... primarily designed to be played in multiplayer. It's basically Eugen Systems bread and butter since RUSE and their entire Wargame series.

Has anyone tried Iron Marines or Vaporum yet?

Why The Seaside Empire DLC isn't on sale ?

By all means, get them and play them (if you haven't done so yet). Regarding the removal of original versions of classic games, I don't think it's GOG fault. I'd blame the publishers / IP holders and others.

I understand spacing out new Square Enix releases but I hope the ones last week weren't the only ones you were able to secure GOG, maybe next week or the week after we'll see more. GOG doesn't have control over that. :P

Why do you use your imagination about features when you just could use Google? I found some reviews that say the battles can be paused.

I use DuckDuckGo and, while the first result is a dev saying on the game's Steam forum that ''Like in Steel Division: Normandy 44, you'll be able to slow down and use the active pause during which you can give order to your units'', the following results are along the lines of ''Will there ever be a pause?'' or ''Still no pause button?'' Looking at the hotkeys, I'm fairly sure the game doesn't have pause but I think it does have a bullet time mode you can toggle.

I found Steel Division: N44 too fast for my tastes and for what the game is portraying.

I'm a big fan of real-time games like Company of Heroes, Close Combat and Total War, but in Steel Division you're supposed to be managing logistics/supplies, taking an interested in smaller scale units down to Squads/Sections and you're also required to have a grand view by managing aircraft, artillery and armour.

Maybe I'm getting old but give me something like that in a slower paced or turn based game and I love it.

Has anyone tried any of the Culture games? Is Cultures: Northland any good?

I don't understand the reasoning behind making a game that looks this good, but then not giving you an opportunity to stop time and savor the spectacle as it's happening. Maybe it's a matter of priorities, like they really just care about the multiplayer competitive scene where the ''gotta go fast'' mentality reigns supreme, but then I'm not going to care about it as a single-player experience. If only Eugen's own Wargame games had a simple tactical pause feature, they'd be my favorite RTS, but nah, who cares about that.

Unpausable RTS has always struck me as a self-defeating genre, anyway. It takes time to plan things out and if you don't have that, you can be reduced to cookie-cutter ''strats'' and patently silly things like Actions Per Minute. Such an absurd concept.

So personally, I'm holding out for Armored Brigade for a tactical RTS experience. Doesn't have anywhere near the same production values and it may be a little too sandboxy for my taste, but at least I know I'll be getting an indepth and customizable wargame that I can enjoy at my own pace. It also helps that it doesn't have a setting that's been beaten to death many times over.
