Helldivers wasn't on sale but it's well worth the 29,99€. Protect the Super Earth, kill aliens and spread democracy a la Starship Troopers. It has been a long time since I bought a game last time because.

I heard the Steam version of FFV wasn't well done. You sure you want(ed) that? Otherwise a really good game. I got a version of it on my phone.

Well, this is Square.  The PC version is just a port of the mobile version.  And not a very good port. 

In other words, par for the course for them.  These days, they cant be bothered to do much else.

Really, there was a time when I had respect for Square... but that was a LONG time ago.  Like, SNES days, maybe a bit into the PSX era.  They've been on a downhill slope ever since.   Or maybe not a slope, maybe they just fell off a damn bridge. 

Wish they'd never eaten Enix, too.

Might have to pass on kerbal, the price isn't right.
Lemme just say at this point that any price is right for KSP.

Of course, that's coming from someone who bought it for 7 eurobucks years ago.

I'll be honest, I've never seen the appeal of Kerbal.

It always seems very.... slow, and simulation-y, which probably means there's math involved.  MATH.  Ugh.  Wouldnt get me doing that.

Granted, yes, there's still crashing and explosions, but other than that... I just dont get it.

Theres always mechjeb (or whatever new name it has) if you can't be bothered to maths. Though you still have to build something that /can/ reach where you want in the first place.

Yar. I see it more as an engineering/logistics game than a maths game. And I use Mechjeb very liberally.

Don't bother, Misery. It's not a game made for you. It just isn't xD I quite enjoy Kerbal for it's simulation-ness, but I've got aspects of aspergers and ADHD, and I REALLY have to be in a mood to handle Kerbal. From what I know of you, just stay away. <3

on the topic of slow games has anybody else here played the escapists? I love that game but its the slowest thing in the world to play almost or on par with Kerbal.

I think I will get Shadowrun Hongkong since it's the missing entry of the series in my account. it's half off, which seems fait to mee, the game isn't that old (it came out this summer) and I heard positive things about it and that it's better than Dragonfall.

I'm also thinking about Aarklash Legacy but I'm not so sure about it. It's 90% cheaper which is A LOT, meaning that a game is either really old or didn't sell very well.
Does someone own this game and know how it is?
on shadow run I played that up to a point were I encountered a game bracing bug and then got caught up in other things and forgot about one day I might get round to trying to fix that I also never finished dragon fall because of a bug not that it was game bracing but it made the game very hard.
I got Hong Kong and I like it. I hear a lot that people complain abou bugs in Dragonfall. Bugs that I've never found in my entire playthrough. So either I'm just lucky or other people have bad luck.
Compared to dragonfall, I like the normal missions (not the story missions) more than the one in Dragonfall. Dragonfall had rather generic missions with little suspense. It always was "Go from here to there and kill anything on your way there." The plot from Dragonfall itself was really great and I don't think that Hong Kong can surpass this but the normal missions were to repetive.
Hong Kong goes a different direction. While I don't liek the plot so much, the normal missions are always interesting and never boring. The first real mission I got was similiar to a detective adventure were you collect clues and try to reveal the serial killer that hunts down the leaders of a technical community. Very intersting with a good plot twist at the end. While not all missions have the same plot twist or value they are all so far enoyable. in antoher missio I have to visit a Decker convention to search for a certain person. You get the feeling of a typical conevntion with all the hype and the overrated stuff that fans praise so much. It's even more hilarious if you are not a decker (as char) and cannot understand a single word they say and you still try blend in there.

However, I found the battles in Dragonfall more challenging and more tactical as in Hong Kong. Most of the time I just need to spam basic attacks to win. In Dragonfall I always needed to buff my team and debuff the enemy, think everything through, plan my strategy but not in this game. Hopefully it gets challenging later on.
