Downloaded not expecting alot and I got slightly less than that. Dont get me wrong there is a game in there but just not a fun one.
Only played for 2-3 hours so far and what can I say but "its wasteland" nothing removed and nothing too game changing put in. Really its just a re-skin of the old games and a lot of quality of life changes thrown in. If you liked the old game but find it hard to go back to then this is for you. If you never herd of wasteland then check it out but I would recommend reading a walk through for the first couple of places. The bad.. Key macros I feel these should have been put in as an option rather than having to set your own up, for example you want to heal someone who is -18 health you have to type U for use, 4 for the person with medic, 1 for skills then 3 for medic skill. all that for 1 health point if you succeed which you wont so you have to type that in maybe 30 times or set a macro. The Good.. I am not one for fancy pants graphics but they do the job nicely, but its the sounds that work well and the narration is on point in fact beyond on point. Nice little cutscenes that don’t detract from the original game and add to the world building brilliantly. Im going to play through this for the 3rd time now and I am going to enjoy it so 5 stars shame about the repeat last command button not being included.
5 Of us in a room playing BF5 for a few hours till we grew bored and realised not alot of 5 player squad or co-op games out there. Well try swat I said, and everyone moaned because its old and possibly crap. Well I passed around my DRM free installer for GOG we played mission 1 and we played till around 4 in the morning. The stories this game creates are brilliant for example. We stormed a basement of a local cult, we subdue one suspect with non lethal bean bag rounds and secure him but one cultist will not put down his AK47. 5 of us surround him in torch light and yell "get down, put your hands up". but he refuses and even after pepper spray he dose not release the assault rifle. At any moment he could raise this gun and kill any of us and tensions in the pitch dark room are running high. In the torch light i gimps a silver barrel of a magnum style revolver, It presses against the mans head then... target neutralised and silence. we all look around and notice that only one of us has a silver revolver. "what?" says the owner "he had a gun, its not like we have to plant one on him". That's the beauty of this game and why it works we go from gamers who kill hundreds of players online to a bunch of guys who were shocked that we had murdered a Suspect. Turns out the cult had killed the children and buried them in the basement soooo we didn't feel too bad in the end. I've played this game solo and LAN/multiplayer and its a great game made sooo much better with friends and yes we all bought the game after an entire night of entertainment we felt it had earned the £9.99 price tag.
Played this non stop for the whole year of its release. The original men of war despite it being made by the same people, this combines men of war with something like commandos. Its possible to do so much with one man or one tank or you can go for a broad attack and trust the AI (not recommended haha). But best play to play this is online 2v2 or 3v3 all in tanks in direct control or one of the many capture the hill or area control missions or play the campaign with a mate. "at least I will get some rest in hospital"
