it really is worth the price of entry; I've put 40 hours into it and only stopped playing to play the games it inspired

watching the video I thought "oh interesting is this going to be some kind of hyper-realistic type of military shooter" only to have a guy yeet himself into the abyss at 0:45:grin:

holy crap that's an awesome setup... you make me miss my Saitek X52 terribly. o7 commander

Quoting: eldarionAnyway, to me, the game is awful for one basic but extremely important point: the keyboard & mouse controls are a disaster.
yea, I agree - the KB/M controls are rough, I might have given up on RGO entirely if I didn't have a controller.

Quoting: no_information_hereGood Article! Under-rated games from my library:

Quoting: NociferI think this problem is more down to you being a gamer by profession (~ish)
I think you're a little confused on who wrote this, it wasn't me :P
maybe they watched the incredible dogfighting in that gameplay video and were calling me a pRo gAmEr?:wub:

Quoting: voxI can't get out of my head the sad story of Star Ruler 2 developers. It was not an easy game to jump into, because they innovated on the 4x/grand strategy formula and made a bunch of systems and game mechanics that were never seen in this genre as far as I know. And once it clicked, it was (and still is) the best game that I've played in this genre.
wishlisted this, I like the genre and it looks like a lot of fun.

Quoting: hardpenguinthe version of HoMM3 that is available on Steam is non-compatible with VCMI (and in general considered inferior).
that really sucks. Also it seems that there's no way to bump up the resolution? Looks like I'm sticking with proton + HD patch.

I know schmetterling is butterfly, it's my fave word for a butterfly. Also waschbär (also german) for raccoon and kaplumbağa (turkish) for turtle.

Valve are still fixing up Left 4 Dead 2, over 10 years after release

it's great that Valve did this but it's not that surprising given how active that community is -- how many 10+ year old games can you reinstall and immediately find a multiplayer lobby to join

Quoting: loggeThe shotgun is in the room before the one with the elevator door. The balcony is lowered by a trigger in that last room (always listen for moving door sounds!)
