Farm, Farm, Farm, Winter, I don't know why, but I have to farm! I just keep playing every night. I started off with 15 parsnips and now my 2nd year farm is going strong and making some money. The wife will sometimes perform some work that's helpful. The combat is not really any fun, but you need to dig "too" deep in order to get rare ore. You should play this.
I have beat this game twice, once on XBox 360 (Rented) and once on Steam. The 2nd time I mostly focused on story-line and skipped side objectives. The games starts off fun, with the focus being on you, but over time it goes from ME, ME, ME to US, US, US as new strategy elements are introduced. On my first play-through I focused too much on the strategy elements and found it difficult. On my second play through I properly balanced between ME & THEM, sending them out to die, while I drove around, shooting things, melting faces and jumping around. I find the strategy elements a little to fast, if your not constantly pushing forward, you will be crushed. I would say i'm a fan of the game and If I have enough time I would want to finish the side quests.
I've owned the game's disc for at least 6 years, and still haven't played it, unlike the original game, which I used to beat every year. One day i'll play it.
I can remember back when I was younger and I got this game, which was after I played the PC Gamer demo, which my dad also played. The game is great and the story is long. I can remember vividly the first time I made it to cloning fortress with the stone behind the wall. That part took me weeks to complete and I had to physically buy the guide, which finally told me to “pour the magic water onto the stone” and the fortress explodes. And who wants cherry flavored sewage water? I never figured out how to correctly get the catamaran, but I just keep walking back and forth on the screen where I can buy it and collect the $10 from the trash can, until I have enough. Is this the dos version, or LBA for Windows, which I found was better than running in dos, because of higher resolutions.
