    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    Did you actually survive within one game for 20 hours? I still can't get past the first goblin attack, unless I wall myself in. Which is what I did cause fuck losing all the time.

    Can't make a torpico thread just for this so I'll ask here: Are any of the DLCs worth it for Tropico 4?

    Can you capture animals (say, bears)? Can you train them?

    Starforge

    Just saw on their forums that mining was in but scrapped for now for being too buggy. Is multiplayer in right now? One of their news says that "the big multiplayer update" has been delayed. I think at this point people are just trying to decide if it's worth paying $20 and playing it right now...

    Not trying to be negative. Not even a little. You obviously take this very seriously. I'm excited about the game too, it's cool, bro. That video is not the same as the first video on steam, which I assumed it was. Thanks for clearing all that out though. Another thing I did not read and that...

    Starforge

    I watched a couple gameplay vids but that's it so maybe I missed something. But by gathering resources I mean mining & harvesting. The game seems to have procedurally generated resources chests (some full of wood, metals, or guns). Right now the gathering is more like borderlands than minecraft...

    You don't build your own guns, no crafting and no resource gathering - am I reading this right?

    Does tropical skyrim change anything other than the textures/models? does it overhaul npcs, quests, dialogs or anything else in the world?

    Bioshock Infinite

    Is this game using QTEs at all? I remember worrying about it a few months back and did not follow the dev talk or previews simce.

    Old titties worth revisiting ? - post yours here.

    The first hour or so of the game is what made me give up when it came out. It is boring as hell until you actually get to the temple. Tried it again with CO8 a couple years ago and it was great.

    DayZ, Arma2, Arma3

    I've logged 200 hours in Dayz and never encountered any hack. Not any obvious ones anyway, and it sounds like the rampant hacks are quite obvious. I've been 1-shot in the middle of nowhere, seen people not die when I was sure they should... but none of that can't be explained by me sucking. Were...

    Does Amazon pay refunds out of their pockets? I sort of assumed games were distributed and distributors got a cut on sales. Do they actually buy the games for resale, and if they don't sell, they're fucked out of that money?

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    Cool, thanks. Dining room now. If I set one up, how does it work? In DF a dwarf would go find food in the nearest stockpile and bring it to the dining room, sit at a table if he can, eat and get happier for eating in a nice setting. I think. Is that how it works in Gnomoria? Do I have to...

    Do doors stop goblins? Do they let merchants in? Or should I dig the wall out for merchants everytime?

    SimCity

    It's not part of any vision. It's just them trying to explain why the game is always-online. I don't know if there is any real new argument in that whole page but there is no argument, at all, to explain why there is not an offline mode. She just explains one more time some of the perks of...

    Skyrim

    Can't imagine how much work that was or even why someone would do it (unless it also overhauls quests, npcs, storylines..) but that's gorgeous.

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    That is exactly my problem. I wanted my Rancher to help with clipping trees and tendings groves. But I still want him to put newborn yaks away immediately when they are born. But because animal husbandry has an innate priority lower than tree clipping, he will not tend to the cows until there is...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    No, no squad yet. I just loaded an old save and it hasn't happened again. I could get other gnomes to be miners and pickup his pickaxe. That gnome was just stuck on idle. Anyway - is there any way to change a job's priority? I know you can change the priority in a given workshop but I can't...

    Old titties worth revisiting ? - post yours here.

    Daggerfall. I find it ages pretty well, as far as old games go. Not sure it would appeal to someone who never played it before, but definitely a great game to go back to. Incredible character creation and all the bugs that plagued it back in the day can be fixed now. I'm tempted to try ultima...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    So one of my Gnomes (2nd day, early game) just decided to be idle, all the time. No matter what job I give him he just will not do anything. I tried to cut down hundreds of trees and make a huge wood stockpile, have all my 9 gnomes haulers only, and 8 of them are doing the job except him. He...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    The UI is not great by any means. You have to understand that people imply a comparison with DF when they say that. The UI is decent and very usable. It could be much better and if DF did not exist people would bitch for someone to pick up the Gnomoria concept and release it with a better UI...

    Shroud Of The Avatar - Shit Went Persistent

    Instances? I don't get the "In a nod to Gariott's early RPG works" or what that has anything to do with replayable/coop content... The whole kickstarter page is filled with meaningless phrases like that. "Meaningful PVP that also minimizes griefing". Another that made me grin...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    Can't say if I'm being as efficient as I could. Planks are the bottleneck for me early on, even with 2 carpenters with no other jobs. I also just realized I built about 1800 worth of statuettes by day 12. I wanted to get 500 for the first merchant to buy an extra yak and my rancher has done...

    Don't Starve (similar to survival minecraft)

    A bunch of new content there again. I hope the guy is getting a healthy amount of daily sales and will keep this up. Part of today's hotfix. If it does what I think it does (let me put a pin where the pig king is for example) it's a nice addition too!

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    So... I get to the end of the first season (12 days I think) and got my first Gnomads. A day or two later several goblins appear in my fort using the only ramp I had left up to get out of my walled area. They massacred every single one of my gnomes, starting with those sleeping on the floor. I...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    Some games (Towns for example) had a lot of trouble with angry consumers when it was greenlit and for sale on Steam. This kind of game require you to play full price for access to the beta (or even alpha in the case of towns and Gnomoria, I think). It's a great model I think, and worked well for...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    From a couple videos I watched it looks like people build their shit (workshops etc...) above ground and surround them with walls. More like a town or village and less like an underground fortress. Can you build roofs and multi level towers? Do enemies destroy walls?

    SimCity

    One of the reviews I read said something along the lines of "uncooperative players can really fuck with you and screw with your plans". How true is that? If Keg goes berserk and really finds a way to fuck with you all, he can? What about a guy that does not actively try to fuck with the region...

    TERA

    I thought TERA was indeed terribly boring to level up while soloing but still better than any MMO I played. Same old boring, useless quest. Better combat so killing those 25 wererabbits was not quite as dull.

    Is there underground and "over"ground farming like in DF? Can't you just dig yourself into a mountain side and farm/cook/train soldiers for a while? Or do you need to be outside to sustain yourself?

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    It's getting harder and harder not to play this. I've been trying to wait until a full build comes out because I don't usually replay games once I shelf them. I read the patch notes on the crafting overhaul and it's quite appealing. How annoyingly bugged is the current build? What are the...

    That sounds like a big fucking flaw to me. Wasn't road building and zoning one of the biggest issue with SC4 already? It's been a while but I seem to remember it drove me fucking insane. I don't think I can imagine anything being 10x worse than that.

    What is cheetah speed exactly? Does it mean there is no fast forwarding at all? It makes no sense if you want to keep your consumers happy. It makes perfect sense if that's their DRM and if they think having a strong DRM means they'll sell more copies. I hope the reviews and Amazon taking it off...
