Quoting: scaineLoved the achievement pop up at 8:55. I'm surprised that Rocket Lab didn't spring for professional presenters though! They did a good enough job, but it's weird seeing such a cool space launch marred with long silences and little speech errors when clearly reading from a script! Night and day from the SpaceX launches!

Very cool though.

I loved it. Makes it so authentic, nerdy and cool

Quoting: TheSHEEEPSounds pretty good.
So far, trying to command a fleet was pretty painful due to the need to micro so much. Just handing it off to an admiral sounds like you could have more time actually participating in the battle yourself.

Agreed. What I am still missing is a Wing Commander style com for my pack... They just either head into the bullets, or seem to wait until I am successfully destroyed.

-- edit --
To clarify; I am missing a menu with "Attack my target", "Hold your fire" and "Retreat" without having to click throgh tiny menus. Because when I reach the items, the battle is already decided.

I will get an AMD this time - I was Nvidia since 2xvoodoo 2 sli. I had so bad experience with AMD on company hw and Linux 10-15 years ago that kept me off weird graphics bugs on x11... Now I am stuck in arch Linux unable to update my system for almost (or felt) two months, I really gave "them" enough time to open source their drivers....

Happy birthday, even you did not accept my beta test wish at first! Keep up and me happy!

Hopefully they saw my increase in steam usage from 3h/week to almost 24*7 on my homebrew arch Linux Steam machine / Kodi media centre...

To add one feature to the list I just realized this evening: you won't get logged off when using two instances of steam across your house.

The game is so great, and not just because I am a big fan of martial arts - what a meh I've got the Nvidia problems :( Additionally, my GTX670 in my living room seems to have too less memory, and the game just crashes into desktop after each level.

Quoting: Valck... the decision to expand Humans instead of the Boron Kingdom feels awkward ...

I still hope the DLC after the next one will be The cradle of Boronity ;-)

Still here with my 9 3900X - not that it feels old, but "Single Thread performance" might be the killer over Intel.

I _really_ wait for their Radeons as I'm sittig on my GF1060 (GP106) and I am waiting for an update there (Raytracing included....). So, please, AMD, put your efforts in there ;-)

X4 sucked me in two weeks ago, now i've got 216 hours - jumped from about 8 when it released! Such a great game. The economy is quite better than that in X3, the story really is like an exciting book.

I will buy Cradle of Humanity at day one.

There is just one thing: If you are in your ship docked (maybe dosn't matter), getting the star map on and off, clicking through your ships/props and com into them, there seems to be a chance that the starmap isn't displayed any more - all other overlays just work perfectly, but not the starmap. Its simply invisible. I've got an - ah well, look into my PCs specs, its my main box anyways :)

Great game, sink in, do some trade while on corona home office, and on the weekends, do some dogfights and story!

This game is so incredibly great. I play it with my youngsters and we all enjoy this humourful journey. Good to see it maturing even more!
The bosses are so retro-styled, almost feeling back in x-out. The characters (I've got Henrietta on fire, and now the Bibliothecary with her throwing books as companion) and the biting humour - a stock exchange build from slot machines. Not many games master the balance between humour and being annoying. Much of it takes Monty Python to another level. A pure recommendation for this great game!
