Title: Strange Brigade
Post by: Skwerl on October 11, 2018, 03:00:15 PM
Has anybody taken a look at this one yet?  I love the concept and the videos look pretty good, but I'd like to get your take on it before taking the plunge.  As always, your input is greatly appreciated.

Edit - I guess a link would be helpful:

It's a $50 game, with a $40 DLC released the same day as initial release, called a "season pass."

Worst money grab I have ever seen on steam, except for one of the train sims. Worse than Paradox games.

Worse than Paradox games.

Let's not exaggerate here.
Also Season Passes are a common and acceptable thing these days, they simply bundle up several DLCs/expansions into 1 cheaper package.

I've played the game a bit but not enough to fully form an opinion of it.
It looks somewhat nice to play (especially Co-Op) at first, but could get repetitive and boring really fast.

How come I didn't know this game existed.  They didn't do much marketing?
