Is a very good game, Everyone one would want from a Mechwarrior Tactical game.
Basically Xcom with giant robots.

i should hope so; the tactical form is the original!

That's really very cool. It seems to me that the underlying mechanism is defined by a differential equation system. This is in line with the discussion about rates of change rather than quantities. It would be interesting to see if one could derive a generic set of equations from this, and determine...

I’ve been put in touch with another empire by some pirates. These are the same pirates that have been blackmailing me in a racketeering campaign since I first took to space, so I have a bone to pick with them eventually, but oddly they seem to like me. They’re called the Haunted Daggers. Do not forg...

I got this game and played it some over the weekend. I like it a lot. The presentation of the lore nails the Battletech vibe. It absolutely does! The cutscenes are in a painterly/semi-animated drawing style which also works super well. Gameplaywise, comparisons with XCOM are inevitable. When I start...

Alright so my ship’s gonna be an ‘escort’ and… well, my construction ability isn’t up to snuff really so I’m just going to have to do with a very small craft size. Through latent Dhayut telepathic powers I happen to know that the very minute a hyperdrive is first used in my system, there will be an ...

It begins I start off with a world, my homeworld which I’ve decided to call Homeworld because I’m not very original, and literally nothing else. I don’t even have a space station. So! The first order of business is to look at my available designs. I get rid of all the defaults except for a small sp...

Interesting! I'm hoping this moves me toward deciding I do or don't want to try DW... but I look forward to reading it regardless. Great! Hmm. Does this actually create a good story in itself? Or are you saying DW is particularly good at giving a human some plot points with which to create a story?...

So I decided to do an after-action-report … but let’s call it a SAGA … of a Distant Worlds playthrough. For a long time I’d decided I loved DW but hadn’t summed up the courage to actually try playing a game. So this is my first one!! And I’m going to annoy you guys with a story about it. If you want...

your face is not unsurprising heyo

I'm rather interested in it too. It looks like it'll be good. :) Haven't looked at it too closely, but from what I saw it looked something like XCOM, but with mechs. That's the basic premise of the original tabletop game I'd say. The downside of that in a tabletop setting is all the number crunchin...

So this game is releasing today. I'm super pumped though I'll probably wait till after release in case the reviews suck. Very happy about the setting: it's not going to be Space America House Davion Against Everybody Else, which is cool but gets kinda boring and loses the impact of the very interest...

I really enjoyed this game. A great soundtrack too, although it's not quite as memorable as the one for FTL.

The Mandate crashed hard. What a disappointment

Fair enough, although it seems to me that the avoidance of any one of those three would probably involve quite a bit of crunch!
