If this was back before Harebrained got acquired, I'd be excited.

As it stands now, I'm still waiting for them to fix the game-breaking sound engine crash
introduced in 1.5. Wait until some reviews come in before spending money on this.

Pre-Order: BATTLETECH: Urban Warfare

checked it out thought it would be like Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon

Just noticed this game in my Steam que : Zombotron

seems Armor games is on GOG .... :D
why no Zombotron ? does every game has to qualify' itself ?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/664830/Zombotron/ Zombotron has a online flash version

Preordered long time ago through season pass :)

Same here, unfortunately :)

I don´t regret that though.
One of the games and studios I have gladly supported.

I don't regret backing Harebrained and the initial game. I liked their work.

But I'm not that pleased with Paradox and the DLCs.

Deleted. My mistake.

Be nice if they got off their ass and fixed the base game. Why bother, when sheep will just keep buying unfinished crap.

That I can understand :)
Alongside with InXile + Obsidian now being under Microsoft, there is real danger they will force them to sell their future games through Windows Store only.

Do you still have to log into a Paradox account to use certain things in singleplayer?

The good thing is there won't be games to buy in the future: afterall cloudgaming is THE future every big corp. is talking about it.... its like a netflix but then for/with games , no more problems being unable to run/play that gorgeous, exciting, superdeluxe cool game because a gamers hardware cant (properly) run it .

Google and you will see everyone is crazy about it already , the hardware companies won't like it very much cause there will be no need for all kinds of hardware so they will have to board the 'Cloudgaming' or look for other jobs.

Anyway with current gaming, every gamer on its own (custom) hardware they can play when they feel to, with cloud gaming they depend on the cloud, it the cloud has problems, no gaming , if it is laggy, what if the cloud has a few downtimes? normally you could play local, unless the entire globe had a power surge at the same time. Cloudgaming is okay as an extra option, not to be exclusive and the only service avaialble.


Login to play singleplayer ? no way i would do that.

i dont like clients, dont like games that run only if started by a client , not even if it runs int he background, i guess a client to download/install games might be okay but not to much telemetry.
Anyway games should run by itself, no extra clients or other services in order to run a game. Selling unfinshed crap is not that bad, if they tell you it is unfinished like Early Access , with Early Access
you know it's still a work in progress and you have no guarantee they will finish it.

Anyway i try to avoid EA ( early access) and also the other EA ( EA games) as much as possible., i bought a few ea on Steam but they were 1or 2 euros instead of 9.99 or more.

It's not broken, exactly, but it goes through this weird "two steps forward, one step back" dev cycle.

On release, the engine was a resource hog and very slow. Then they kept patching it until it worked rather well.
Then, after patch 1.5, some users (myself included) started getting a CTD bug to do with a sound .dll, which makes
it impossible to make it through a single mission without crashing several times.

For the most part, they've managed to work the kinks out of the engine. But why they did that just to introduce new
ones is beyond me.

I'm excited about eventually getting around to Flashpoint, but this one sounds pretty lame for 20 bucks.

I will say that I'm happy that Paradox is imposing some discipline on Harebrained though. This would have been pre-Paradox HBS's second standalone release that's incrementally improved over the previous ones but only marginally compatible with the older content. Better moddability, but not many would do much with it and they'd have taken over Rogue Tech and made it a very polished but paid-for DLC or standalone release. Not trying to trash HBS, just saying that there's an example of a company that really could do with some firm but gentle guidance from outside the fanboy zone.

I've not checked in since 1.3 or so but I do hope that optimization means that these days it doesn't take longer than the Third Succession War to view one of my mechs in the hangar.
