VerseAndVermin, do games w TV tie-in MMO looter shooter Defiance returns for a free-to-play third shot at life and gigantic messy boss battles

It’s cool to see things get to stick around. I felt the same with APB from Little Orbit. It’s just cool to see games still exist.

Fingers crossed that Rift gets a similar revival… the game whose initial success paid for Defiance in the first place

and I’ve got my fingers tightly crossed that the new owners will be able to keep it running long into its twilight years—even if they’ve got little planned in the way of fresh content

The Borderlands games made billions of dollars, and no one needs to keep them running.

UnbrokenTaco, do games w Tempest Rising accidentally launched a week early on Steam, and the publisher has decided to just go with it

There are a few reviews talking about data harvesting clauses in the EULA. I haven’t looked into it but might be worth double checking if that concerns you.

I been playing for at least 6h, gameplay is identical to C&C games, very fun and nostalgic to play.

Beyond that story is meh ATM. Cutscenes feel boring and skipable. VA directions are non existent. I wouldn’t be surprised if its revealed later that all of it is AI voices.

Also no controller support, so you’ll need to configure keybinds if you want to play it on the steam deck.

Well most of the reviews says positive about this game and we lack scifi based RTS game with distinctive mechanism like this in many years that is why this release this should needs some love and by the way, I hope in the future they considered putting a charismatic leader with distinctive trait in one of the faction with eye-catching catchphrase as well. that will be awesome

It’s very c&c, only done few missions but definitely good first impressions. Feels like what cnc 4 should’ve been and not that moba hybrid abomination.

dependencyinjection,

I’m extremely thankful for this information.

I’m happy to see a new rts actually getting a good reception. Sometimes it seems the genre is cursed.

Its pretty much exactly like command & conquer, but its modern, so fun to play.

Damage,

Set in 1997 in the wake of World War 3, the world has become afflicted by a strange new growth called Tempest, a russet, flowery structure that looks like a plant but isn’t. Tempest is hazardous to human health and spreads rapaciously, but it’s also an abundant energy resource. This makes it the primary catalyst of a war between Earth’s two dominant factions, the Global Defence Force (GDF) and the Tempest Dynasty.

You weren’t kidding, lol.
Good anyway, someone has to make good C&C games, and sure as hell it ain’t gonna be EA.

Since the article doesn’t even link to it for some reason.

Jumi, do games w 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know

6.5k in 15 years. I did spend a lot when I was younger.

glitches_brew,

I’m at about the same amount. Kinda shocking to see it.

If you dig you can find this on Amazon. I’ve been buying from Amazon since 1995 and the last time I looked my purchases were somewhere around $260,000. And that was before covid.

Do you have a link? I’ll start looking, will edit this comment if I find it.

Edit: Link to Steam total spend: help.steampowered.com/en/…/AccountSpend

Edit: This seems to be how to do it for Amazon: www.amazon.com/hz/privacy-central/…/preview.html - My data hasn’t come through yet so I don’t know how difficult it is to get the sum of all orders/refunds.

To bad the demo version on steam is not available anymore.

stoy, do games w Tempest Rising review (PC Gamer: 85/100)

Does it have cheesy live action videos with supermodels and A-list actors/actresses who have to act out crazy scenes and say ridiculous lines while barely keeping a straight face?

massive_bereavement,

They need to use ridiculous accents or else I would deem it unplayable.

CloakAndSwagger,

Alas, no

the inter-mission briefings are a welcome callback to C&C, but the real time 3D characters simply don’t have the charm of Westwood’s lovably daft FMVs.

GreenMartian,

SPAAACE!!

FarceOfWill,

He had a career spanning dozens of stone cold classic movies, incredible performances all.

And I will always first remember him corpsing over SPAAACE!!!

No, unfortunately it doesnt. The scenes are more or less serious, so thats a bit sad, but its ok.

kepix,

the demo had out of touch 3d scenes with ai voices. im not suppoeting fuckin 3drealms anyway after what they did to the wrath team.
