Battlestar Galactica Deadlock released today.

It’s so good it got its own thread! ;)

Battlestar Galactica Deadlock - A Frakking Good Time Games

So guys, this came out yesterday, and I just spent a few hours with it. It is so good. OMG, so, so good. Like, best of 2017 so far good. I’m not even trying to be hyperbolic, it’s just so good. It’s got great graphics, REALLY solid gameplay, what looks to be a dynamic, map-based campaign, perfect music and even multiplayer. I am just gaga over it, so I figured I’d start a thread about it.

Is it using the same engine as Star Hammer the Vanguard Prohecy? I sort of remember hearing about a BS game coming out based on it.

I put this on the wrong thread not sure how to move it especially when on my iPad.

BrianRubin · 2017-09-02T01:24:03.123Z

I’m not sure if it’s the same exact engine, honestly.

I’m pretty sure it is, with some obvious updates, tweaks, etc.

Is the voice that of Katherine of Sky? It sounds familiar at the very least.

Since my cat was taking up my PC chair today, and I couldn’t play BSG Deadlock, I decided to play the next best thing:

MAN this game is hard. The first mission is some multi-phase thing that I can’t pass the second portion of, and there are NO checkpoints, so one has to start from the VERY beginning. It’s kind of maddening, despite how much fun it is.

Awesome, I’ve been wanting to get back into this.

Of course, I’ve been wanting to play Starsector too… hmm, lot of overlap there.

Unbelievable that they are still patching it. My #2 favorite game of all time.

Most of that list is outright bullshit. SHENANIGANS. THE DIG? Duskers?! COME ON. Garbage, this list is. No Freespace 2? THE FUCKING NERVE.

That’s what happens when you get high schoolers to write that article.

Seriously. I mean, some of those are good and even great games, but … well, Brian’s comment stands.

Unbelievable. I think I replayed this twice. Time for a third go?

Why not? I realize I’ve never done an actual video of the game (its review is one of the last textual reviews I did for the blog), so this is a perfect time to fix that.

orald · 2017-09-06T21:12:39.482Z

I forgot I own this game. And it is one of the games in my GOG collection that is collecting dust. The fighting in hyperspace bit turned me off, but to be fair I did not give the game a real chance. Should I?
