That’s a part of you I’ll never understand. ;)
I feel Warlords is the better overall experience, rather than the still-broken X4.
Fair enough. I might buy the DLC myself. ;)
I really wanted to like Warlords but bounced right off of it. At least in the opening 10 hours or so the campaign was unengaging and the combat was very samey. I don’t feel like I ever got to the point where the strategic map mattered much, though - maybe there’s something in there if you can push past a bad opening?
I felt pretty much the same way, but I played the game right after launch, and never gave it a chance after patches and DLC…
See I didn’t think the opening was bad. But you can skip the story entirely if you want and just dive right into the map stuff.
Hello my amazing gamer friends, and welcome to another week of spacey gaming. This week, due to the Thanksgiving Holiday here in the states, we’re gonna have another low-key one-off week, starting with the shooter Vortex Attack EX, and with videos of DarkSpace, One More Burn and Event Horizon: Frontier among others. They’ll go up each morning, so stay tuned for them.

- Monday - 12:00 PM-3:00PM, Deep Space Nine: The Fallen stream.

You can see all of our planned upcoming streams and events on our calendar, as always!
You can watch any of these streams on Twitch, YouTube and several other locations.
Finally, in written content, I have a lot to be thankful for in this crazy and mostly crap year, and in this week’s check-in, I marvel at some wonderful post-release support.
That’ll do it for this kinda shortened week, my wonderful friends. Thank you as always for being so damned great, and I hope to see y’all online somewhere. :)
Anyone tried this:
Not sure how something like that can work well in an MMO? Looks nice.
I played an earlier version of it and was kind of confused. It was like, “You know all the parts of a 4X that take multiple turns? Let’s make a whole game out of that conceit.”
Hello my wonderful gaming friends, and welcome to another week of spacey gaming. This week’s game of the week is, hopefully, the tactical space combat game DarkSpace. I say “hopefully” because the game crashed/froze after the first mission, and as I write this, I’m not sure if I can get it fixed. If not, I’ll figure something out for the rest of the week, I just don’t know what it is yet as I write this. Stay tuned!

Finally, in written content, this week’s discussion topic is thinking about my favorite gaming worlds I’d like to live in. In this week’s gaming check-in, I talk about games that overcome my gaming ADHD.
That’ll do it for this week y’all. Thanks so much for being awesome, and I hope to see y’all around!
Are you enjoying Deep Space Nine: The Fallen? How does it hold up 19 years later?
Story: great.
Voice acting: almost the entire cast returned, so great.
Gameplay: it’s been years since I’ve played a game that clearly hates the player as much as this game. Terrible platforming puzzles, unfair odds, scarse ammo, etc etc. I eventually loaded cheat codes to keep my sanity.
So if you wanna go in and cheat, do it that way. Otherwise steer clear unless you hate yourself.
Heh, yeah, games used to be quite a bit harder back then. I remember the part about always being low on ammo. The unfair odds bit didn’t bother me as much back then because you can save anywhere I think, and so the brief battles that erupted could be repeated a few times until you overcame the enemy.
Is that (Star Trek Voyager) Elite Force?
Also, why are you playing it in a window? Does it not do full screen gracefully?
Sure is.
Because it’ll capture better via OBS in a window. Which it shockingly does natively.
Is that a Rebellion icon I see there? Everyone couple of months that game works its way into my brain somehow, and I wish…
Yup, I installed it to see if they actually fixed it for Windows 10. AND THEY DID. So I’ve been dabbling.
How’s the AI these days? That’s the main problem I seem to remember. (But it was a long time ago…)
