I'm teetering on the Mig-19P. Only $24, but I know I'll hardly ever fly it... :hide:

How are the battle star galactica games..?

[JasonPratt]

I own Deadlock and all the DLC (for season one), but have not played one single moment.  L:-)  :'( 

So currently, I think they're just great!  :))

[W8taminute]

How are the battle star galactica games..?

I only have the base game, no DLC.  I don't intend to purchase the DLC unless it's offered for 1 dollar or less. 

The battles are really thought provoking.  A lot of maneuver and firing to be had here. 

I'm not that impressed with the strategic layer though.  I really wish the campaign mode was free roam instead of story driven.  I also wish one could select either the humans or the cylons instead of being limited to a story driven campaign about the humans.  This is the reason it is highly unlikely I'll buy any of the DLC.  If you don't mind that this is not really a true 4X grand strategy game then galactica is kind of fun I guess. 

I've got about 26 hours into the game.  I won't delete it off my hard drive but it's not the type of game I'm going to visit regularly but that's just me.

How are the battle star galactica games..?

I'm definitely a fan of Deadlock.  It captures the atmosphere of the Moor-verse pretty well, the storyline is decent, most of the ships have a=their own role/niche to fill, and it easily boasts the best turn-based space battles I've played in years, if not ever -- it strikes a nice balance between not being too dumbed-down, but also not being bogged down in minutiae. 


I will second W8taminute's mention of a lack of an open-world/ended campaign as being a drawback in my view, but that's my only real critique.  All things considered, I'm looking forward to "Season 2".  :)

Civilization VI – Vikings Scenario Pack
Civilization VI – Poland Civilization & Scenario Pack
Civilization VI – Australia Civilization & Scenario Pack
Civilization VI – Persia and Macedon Civilization & Scenario Pack

[Barthheart]

Looks like it.

DO IT!  :D

[Gusington]

I knew you, out of everyone, would respond within 5 minutes :)

So in one corner I have the Civ VI Platinum Edition (above) for 39.99.

In the other corner I have Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition, Plague Tale, Ottoman and Austrian expansions for Battle of Empires, and Warhammer: Man o  War - Corsair...for a total of ~72.00.

What to do...

...how is the mod scene for Civ VI? If I want to play a campaign entirely in the Middle Ages or the Renaissance, can I now? And will I really get over that cartoony look of everything?

gah

For what it's worth, as much as I love the Man-o-War adaptation, the game has been basically abandoned in a somewhat finished state. It's definitely playable as a career, but you'll find places where obviously more development was intended. (e.g. only one male and one female captain character model.)
