Iron Harvest

Love the story. It's really nice!

- many functions are still missing - Multiplayer without GOG Galaxy is not possible (so the game is not really DLC free). - No possibility to play the game on the local home network. - Without internet only singleplayer possible. Funny idea with the alternative timeline and the continuation of World War I. - But the story is a bit thoughtless and too rough. My great-grandfather, who was in the foxholes in France, would turn around in his grave. But there is a lot of potential in the game. I think the next or the one after that, if it is DLC free, i.e. doesn't use an additional client and is playable in the local network, will be bought by me.

I'm age 59, I grew up when if you wanted to play a video game, you drove to an arcade and fed quarters into a machine. I quickly grew sick of the tricks. Since they could not make the games Good, they made them Hard. In order to beat the machine, you had to become a machine yourself. Not fun. This has carried over to today, when they won't spend the money to make a game good, only the graphics look good. All the money is spent on Marketing, and zero on quality testing or support. This has gotten so obscene that YOU pay THEM to do the job of finding and fixing bugs and balance issues!!!! Sorry the Ford Pinto is murdering people by blowing up, go fix it yourself. They can't make the game good, so they just make it unfair, too hard, imbalanced, frustrating. The devs are evidently just banking on sales to the sick masochist meth addict types who enjoy pain, rather than adjusting difficulty to capture a much LARGER audience.......people who are not living in Mom's basement doing nothing but play games. Iron Harvest wildly overpriced, even on sale for $25. Took hours to download on a high speed connection. I more than met the specs to run it, but the moment it launched, it froze my computer and I had to do a damaging hard reboot. The moment it launched, a constant high pitched noise started coming from the computer, and EVERYTHING got twice as hot as normal. THIS GAME WILL LITERALLY MELT YOUR COMPUTER. No other of the hundred games I own ever have done this. Checked, and all my drivers are fully up to date. Turned all the graphics settings as low as they would go, still melting my computer, overheating and huge noise like a jet aircraft. Turned off every background process possible, and my THREE FANS And computer are still overheating/ melting. Gog won't allow me to say what I want to, limits on how many words, which is asinine.

I will wait for more content and bug fixes...

That means I'll never get to play...
