Is Spellforce 3 good?!

To clarify, I have never played any SpellForce game, so I don't know for sure.

The concept has always seemed mediocre on paper and has been mediocre all of the times I have experienced anything like it (such as Dragon Commander).

Opus Magnum, Zachtronics' (SpaceChem, Infinifactory, SHENZHEN I/O) new puzzle game:

This makes me wet. I hope it turns out as good as SpaceChem. It shouldn't be in Early Access for long, maybe a month.

GOG apparently rejected the newest game from Zachtronics (Shenzen I/O, Infinifactory, TIS-100, Spacechem, Ironclad Tactics).

"Hey guys this game sucks. I never played it though, but I played games that I think are LIKE it, which makes my opinion incredibly valid."

See this is just silly.

If I was giving serious advice then I wouldn't have used a meme.

Game does look interesting. I may try it out later.

Their games are overpriced, but they are worth it.
Probably the oldest independent developer, who still has it.
Imagine if Black Isle was founded in 1981, and still existed, gradually moving from 2D to 3D.

Dragon Slayer (1984)

Zwei!! (2001)

Cold Steel 3 (2017)

Released today. Has a free demo which I still haven't tried, but the premise looks good.

Thirty dollars!

Apparently a couple of former Overkill owners escaped from Starbreeze and Almir "The Jew" Listo, to found a new studio - 10 Chambers Collective.

Looks like sci-fi L4D / Payday: The Heist.

Official Lord of the Ring digital card game, based on the physical card game released by Fantasy Flight:

Official Bud Spencer & Terence Hill beat' em up, which was Kickstarted in 2016:

And another license game, Overkill(Payday series)'s vaporware co-op game The Walking Dead is coming Fall next year:

I wonder what is happening here: https://steamdb.info/app/743490/history/

• Changed name Pain of War Demo › Fallout Tactics: Reloaded

• Changed homepage – http://www.moddb.com/games/pain-war -> http://www.moddb.com/mods/tactics-reloaded
• Changed publisher – Initiative Games › Reloaded Team
• Changed developer – Initiative Games › Reloaded Team

Someone released a barebone FPS named Pain of War on Steam (that's not a news), and they're repurposing its demo's app id for some mod called Fallout Tactics: Reloaded? What is Fallout Tactics: "Reloaded", I wonder. Something along the line of FOnline: Reloaded? ModDB URL does not exist yet.

Google gave me this video:

Video gameplay of my mod for Fallout Tactics with restored content

I guess this is some creative way to get a mod on Steam, but I don't think Bethesda will let it that way longer.

Holy sh*t, this is all kind of awesome!

Is Sword Coast Legends any good?

Nope.

I played it online a few times with some friends and a bit of the SP campaign. I really couldn't stand it. I also spent way more time trying to learn the editor to make a simple campaign because I hoped maybe I could make the game fun somehow. Editor is f*cked, literally ass-backwards.

It was a complete waste of time for me but I already knew that going in. Go read the old threads here leading up to it's release, it was all true. I was peer-pressured into it just to hang out with some friends even though I knew better and got what I deserved. It's unsalvageable.

Not worth a dollar or the time.
