It's widely considered one of the best games ever made.
I don't think you can say that when it's your avatar.

I didn't mean widely BY ME Just saying that on top of consistently appearing on a large number of "Top Games of all times" chartes, which we all agree are worth nothing, it comes up over and over as one of the favourite games of countless designers in all sorts of interviews. With that said, anyone with a brain can try it and understand why it was and still is amazing, and thousands people still play it 32 years later. With that said, I must suspend my previous endorsement to the aforementioned and linked M.U.L.E. Returns as I confused it with Planet M.U.L.E. So Jury is still out on this remake. Planet M.U.L.E. on the other hand is quite perfect.

My own question is why does a game called MULE open up with a camel transversing the screen?
The music is a pure 10.

The guys who made the Enhanced Editions of BG, BG2, and IWD just announced a new BG title, Siege of Dragonspear. Not much info yet, but they've got some announcement stream going: http://www.baldursgate.com/

I just rewatched the Overwatch CG trailer and I'm legit wondering why Blizzard thinks they should be making another also-ran TF2/FPS MOBA thing instead of just making a movie since they are bad at making videogames now.

I know that this is pretty obvious from like every project they do but Tycho of Penny Arcade is a fucking horrendously bad writer.

Ohh, is he doing another "let me tell you some dumb story that isn't related to video games or swearing" arc with the horribly drawn noses? I tend to wander off with PA nowadays. I can barely remember to check it. edit: yep. Fuck.

I didn't want to start a new thread for this, since this is "announcement of an announcement" territory, but... Remember MechWarrior Tactics and the way it just kinda died? Well, it looks like there'll be a new turn-based tactical BattleTech game by the creators of Shadowrun Returns / Dragonfall (lead by some random dude called Jordan Weisman), with a kickstarter launching in Sept. Website here.

They had me at the game will feature an open-ended Mercenaries-style campaign that blends RPG ‘Mech and MechWarrior management with modern turn-based tactics.

I hate when they don't let you throw money at them right away. Not a big fan of the new font.

Well, at least these fuckers have shown they can put out a good product with crowdfunded money. Shadowrun Returns was fucking awesome. I have more faith in them than anyone else who's gone this route.

Stop paying for preorders and CERTAINLY don't back anything through crowd funding.

Hey to be honest I paid 40 bucks (and btw that's how big my blind spot is, exactly 40 dollars) for MechWarrior Online and I got way more than 40 dollars worth of entertainment out of it plus all the benefits of being a founder. The Star Citizen clusterfuck is obviously the big sucking chest wound example of why not to fund early access shit but if a legitimate company with a decent track record (I too like Shadowrun) is making a game that you really could love then I'd say kickstart them a REASONABLE amount of dosh.

If it's a legitimate company with a decent track record then they can afford to fund their own fucking game.

I'm not giving them any crowdfunding money, but they are one of the few companies that have made crowdfunding games that have actually delivered what they promised.
