The downside to kid games is Steam. It's annoying for my kids and myself when Steam decides to forget your password and then they can't log in until I am available. If I can get over that, I might pick this game up someday. For now, my kids are occupied enough with the couple games they have. I don't need to introduce them to the idea of video game backlogs at this stage. I wish my game collection didn't cause me decision paralysis.

Quoting: GuestOh well, 30$ was already quite expensive for an indie game. I’ll wait for a sale on a DRM-free store.

I heard that the developer will "never" let it go on sale. Don't know if he'll live up to that.

*sigh* I might have to buy it before the price goes up. I want to just play Dwarf Fortress like an elitist, hardcore gamer nerd, but I haven't been able to make myself take a week-long video class to learn how to play.

Quoting: ageresI played the original game when it was new six years ago, but my HDD got broken before I finished it and I lost my save files. It's time to play again.

For you, I recommend using a remote backup service. Don't want to pay for a subscription? Then at least set up borg to back up to another drive on a schedule. :)

Always nice to see a developer come along and join the conversation...even has a cool avatar.

I'm very interested in this game. As someone who's completed the CEH course, games like this make me wonder if I'll have an advantage or disadvantage over the typical gamer.

I feel like it's more important to buy any remaining Obsidian games on my wish list DRM-free. *walks over to GOG*

Sounds intriguing enough to me, which is not typical of adventure games IMO.

I think that I'm going to pass this time. I already have 7 Days to Die and am not a fan. I have HITMAN. While I'm not sure if my copy is the whole first season, I have yet to play it. Why expand it? Hollow Knight sounds like a good grab because everyone says that it is good, however I'm not drawn to platformers. *shrug* I'm happy about last month though.

It's not the only national police force in the game anyway, right?

Quoting: 14Is XCOM 2 decently better than XCOM? I mostly liked the original, but not enough to lose a few hours of play so that I could load a save from several hours back in order to fix some bad decisions.

If you have the first DLC there is a mutator that allows for more forgiving RNG , and for more forgiving mission unlocks RNG in regards of how poorly you'll plan your base construction and developement. So if that's what you meant and are after yeah X-COM 2 + DLC is a clear bump in a more welcoming experience to the new comer.

Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks. See, I love Fire Emblem games but base building in XCOM was not a fun part of the strategy for me.
