I wish I could go back in time and take back the $75 spent on copies of Starbound in exchange for 7 more copies of Terraria in addition to the 5 copies I've already purchased.

Waiting for this to go on sale, been waiting 6 months will wait 6 more. Certainly a wish list item.

This puts Feral and AMD more on the map for me as a Linux Gamer. Great News!

Hopefully Next Upgrade Cycle AMD GPUs will be a worthy contender for my cash.

(I would totally grab a AMD Kaveri HSA but that's another story)

Planetary Annihilation: TITANS, Some Thoughts On The New Standalone Expansion & The Controversy

Quoting: liamdaweYou can see some gameplay I streamed here: http://www.twitch.tv/linuxwithliam/v/11845395

Thanks mate. It's funny - I like the design and look of the units but as a noob the globe mechanic feels that detracts from the beauty of the game coupled with the unlimited zoom in and zoom out.

I would have been perfectly happy with a square map with maybe 50% of the zoom capabilities - maybe someone will make a mod doing just that who knows eh.

I feel that the farther out the camera is the more disconnected I am from the RTS micro interactions.

Those minor cliffs look nice, the UI looks great, the units look great, etc... etc... Anyone know if any mods out there do what I just wrote?

I enjoyed the review part of your article Liam which covered mechanics and elemental changes to the game with this successor.

Can you post a link to your stream hilights of PAT? I want to know more about the actual gameplay and since they divided this new "version" with the one I currently own I have no way of knowing first hand if I still hate this game or not.

Dota is love. DOTA is life.

(Lol I just launched DOTA and the loading screen gets 2099 FPS)

I was wondering how this compares against RoboCraft as that game looks similar & is super addictive.

Quoting: liamdawePA and what it is inspired from was nothing like Starcraft 1/2. I've played both SC games, and PA + TITANS now too, and I like them all.

Yes, I know that now after buying and playing PA earlier this year.

Quoting: liamdaweI got my copy for free, so would anyone from KS. They said that in the Kickstarter update, anyone who didn't gets a discount if they already own PA.

There is nothing to get annoyed about.

As you can see from the Community going wild - their "Free for Kickstarter backers" or "Early Access" has been an afterthought considering there was no pinned thread titled "Regarding Early Access & Kickstarter Backers" - also Locking users threads instead of putting out the fire by saying "We're sorry for the miscommunication, go to X Link to see we are giving free copies to those who already Paid for them".

If you disagree with my reasoning, then lets agree to disagree - regardless the PA Community is certainly ablaze over what just happened.

Users are going wild over at the PA Steam Forum because DLC was promised free to EA backers @ $90 a pop. This DLC/Mod/Expansion whatever you wanna call it has made people livid - go grab your pitchforks and popcorn folks looks like we got a mutiny on our hands .

So the original gameplay of Planetary Annihilation was terrible from a StarCraft BroodWar addict's point of view. Now they made a newer version of Planetary Annihilation for $40.

Well, I guess someone will probably like it, but It's a sad day for me knowing that that person isn't going to be me.
