Expeditions: Rome
- Thread starter Randin
- Start date
I played Expeditions Conquistador and enjoyed it. Them saying that this game is like four times bigger than all their other games is promising. I'm tempted to pre-order while they have the discount but I don't know how polished it will be at release. It seems like games these days are buggy messes at release.
I played the free demo and it seems like it will be a really fun game. I think I'm gonna pre-order.

The game is launching today; this also comes alongside the odd news that after launch, the developers are shutting down so that a number of them can re-form as a new studio dedicated to blockchain games. THQ Nordic owns the IP now, so that's not necessarily a death knell for the series, but still... weird-ass combo to hit with.

LOL did they save the "we're shutting down" news for launch? If so, these guys can get fucked. I'll wait for a deep, deep discount.

A dev responded about that on the steam forums: Logic Artists close down... :: Expeditions: Rome General Discussions
First off, not everyone who worked on Expeditions: Rome will join Dynasty.
Secondly, as others have pointed out here, the Expeditions series has been owned by THQ Nordic since before Rome began development. The creation of Dynasty will not affect the support of Rome nor the DLC plans.

Uh huh. And the creation of a new studio doesn't just "happen" overnight. These guys knew well in advance. The fact they weren't transparent about this a while back and did a, "SURPRISE!" makes is all very suspect and reek of bullshit.

The article is from a month ago. I agree that it's an issue that needs to be specifically addressed though, I shouldn't have to dig through the Steam forums to find that.

Unlucky, I was going to pull the trigger on this this morning (regardless of future DLC, etc, I enjoyed the game enough to pick it up) and it's since jumped up to full price.
Oh well, will wait for sales or a moment of weakness myself. Like 5 new games on Game Pass today to distract me from that
I never finished the Demo, as bad as my gaming ADD gets I should make myself finish that before buying it anyways.

I was wondering the same thing.
I played the demo of this and it seems like it should be solid but I just can't pay $35 for a game any more. I'll wait a year for when it goes more on sale.

The first two games in the series were a fantastic amount of fun. I bought this full price and feel quite content with having done so.

I've been just ignoring all the noise about this stuff (including NFTs), make a good game and if it does something innovative with that shit then I'll care. Until then it just seems like buzzwords for funding.
