Some ABO Showcases:


You aren't talking about 'Emergency: Fighters for Life' are you?
Not even close! Was an FPS but you're fighting fires. Even had a button for "check if surface is hot" to determine if there were fires on the opposite sides of a door/wall. It literally was simulating being the firefighter themselves not the entire systems and infrastructure.
 
The rat times for Total Warhammer 3 got a new trailer:

View: https://youtu.be/YH9VdFvHiO8

Looked into it, there's four new lords: Thanquol for the Skaven, Nagash as a presumably new Undead faction complete with a new lore of Undeath, Boris Todbringer for the Empire, and the Glottkin, an odd three person unit edit: wrong, idiot, it's just one that's two dudes riding another, for Nurgle.

Are they gonna include Gottrek and Felix as Hero Units too, while they're at it ?
 
Yeah Gotrek and Felix are available for some Order factions after a quest battle. At the very minimum Empire, Dwarves and Kislev can get them. Lizardmen and High Elves can't but I'm not sure about Cathay or Bretonnia.
 
Oh, really ? It's been ages since I've played Total Warhammer. That's cool, the human characters were kind of bland during the first and second game.

The empire took a while to be interesting apart from the Demigryphs that take entirely too long to get to, but now they have some wacky enough options and starts that I legit have to choose if I'm starting my 100th Karl Franz run or doing a Baltizar Gelt.

What irritates me is they removed Louen's turn one Marienburg seizure, because that chunky amount of port gold helps you get your unwashed peasant economy up and running quite quickly.
 
Huh.

TIL I learned that Moira in Overwatch is voiced by Genevieve O'Reilly the lady that plays Mon Mothma in Star Wars.

RTS isn't dead, here's a bundle of 7 RTS games and the video has more details
The only time I hear "RTS IS DEAD!1!1!" is from Videos trying to be alarmist and ones like this. A Game being made for the Genre not happening for a single week isn't "dead Genre". Like... Bro... You want a dead Genre look at the one that Mimimi specialized in. RTS is one of the big three Genres, I almost wish it was dead just to make room for other Genres. Might've well be saying FPS is a "dead Genre".

Thread Tax:
There's a Channel dedicated to Indie Game Trailers:
 
A Scrollslike (:V) named The Lantern of the Laughless Saint went into Early Access recently and is at -10% off for launch, brought to my attention by a couple of guys streaming the co-op.

Trailer 1/Early Access announcement


Trailer 2/Fuck you Todd Howard


The gameplay stream (4h)


edit:
Another, shorter (10m) quick look at the game

Well, right off the bat the song playing on the radio at the start was the classic theme, and obviously everyone's got the OG designs. Most of the VAs sounded like the ones from the Cybertron games too.

It's dead in terms of popularity. Sure, there are occasional new launches... but they always seem to flop.

Uh... That's being Phrased like there's none being made not like any getting popular. Literally talking about them being made in the Video and recent Games that are being bundled.

Also really no to that either? The old ones are popular. It's that new ones are shit so they lose popularity as fast as they gain it. End up with a proper diamond in the rough situation.

There's also literally immediately above you where there's Age of Empires III (2020). It's still fairly popular and Developing new things for it every couple of years.

Thing is... so few RTS games have any story nowadays. Let alone a good one. It's always so multiplayer focused.

Which royally sucks. I'd love for there to be a successor to Command and Conquer or Starcraft.
The bigger problem with giving an RTS a story, aside from how nowadays you probably won't find as many good writers available is how a lot of the options for a campaign are either rehashing existing stories quite possibly literally if you're doing a history themed RTS or one of the old "actually there's a secret entity manipulating everything" plots that C&C had. Honestly I'd settle for a good campaign with a passable excuse plot for what you're doing. The first AOE had that even if it also tried to stomp your nuts flat with some of it's limited force missions.
 
Just saw the Warhammer trailer...

Did.... did that Rat just blow up the moon?!

wat?

And why did I half expect those two prisoners to go 'Dude, who are you?'

They already did offscreen. That's why Thanquol was so pissed at the start. He's been plotting revenge on those two, Felix and Gottrek, for like 20 years and they had no fucking idea who he was.

The original Age of Empires 3 came out in 2005. And the remaster that did come out in 2020 gets an update, is played by fans for a day or two, then gets abandoned for a variety of reasons. Age of Empires 2 with its two remasters get more attention and player investment.
 
New porn game recommendation for everyone in this thread:


The game is called Starbreed, and it's honestly a shockingly good Star Fox clone. To the point where even if you completely removed all the actual smut from the game, I think I'd still be fairly comfortable calling it the best Star Fox game to come out in the last 20 years just off of gameplay, music, and voice acting alone.

Only thing that slightly besmirches it's status as a Star Fox game is that there's a shocking lack of furry content in the game aside from one of the fuckable characters being a catgirl, and a couple other alien members in the cast, but I think I can forgive it in this instance. :V
 
I think at least half the Star Fox games that came out in the past 20 years are some variation of the same game but, I don't know the exact numbers on that. :V

You say that as a joke, but I'm afraid the numbers are even more dire than you say.

It's not half of all Star Fox games that have come out in the last 20 years. Looking it up, it's every single entry in the franchise.

I'm not even joking. Star Fox Command came out on the DS on August 3rd, 2006. Since then, the only entries in the franchise have been remakes of 64 for respectively, the 3DS, the WiiU, and the Switch 2. The only exception that might count is the fact that in 2017, Nintendo launched an official release of the originally cancelled Star Fox 2, but that game was origially supposed to come out on the SNES and still looks like it, so I'm not counting it.



At any rate, you can change my previous statement from me saying that Starbreed is the best Starfox game to come out in 20 years, to it being the best one to come out in 29 years. That's still after the original release of 64, but I'm still fairly willing to say that even if you removed the porn, Starbreed is unironically better than Command, Assault, and especially Adventures.

Well got a gift from my mother in the form of a 30$ Steam card. Only got 3 Games with it. A pack with Cultist Simulator and all DLCs and FAR: Changing Tides in it and a Game called "The Pathless". Haven't Played the FAR one but if it's anything like the first one it should be fine. Adequate. A walking simulator. Cultist Simulator fucking sucked.

The last one though? I had ~12$ left after the others, was split between Pseudoregalia and another that was ≤6$. Was also considering Metro Gravity. Eventually dropped the Pseudoregalia joint acquisition.

The Pathless is actually quite fun. You only really need 3 buttons for it: jump, forward, and fire. The Plot is a generic "hero shows up and defeats the darkness. It's also impossible to die in it, not even a life bar just a spirit stamina one that decides if you're sprinting and regenerates from shooting talismans. But it's all about speed. From chaining down the gods of their world into one place so you can hunt them down and purify them to dodging attacks to travel. The place is also realistically sized instead of scaled for this Reason. There's also a dedicated "pet the eagle" button!
