>release the game, overhype

im scared it wont live up to what BB is or even was back when it released.. still hyped tho

>preset story
>preset characters
>women
Never lost interest faster in my life. Are they not aware why people put hundreds of hours into BB?

>snooze-based combat
pass

they lost me by getting a black woman instead of a sultry persian or arab woman

This looks nice, but I'm actually more looking forward to this:

where the fuck is it

>>715510784 (OP)
>took goverment money
>instantly goes full pozz
yeah it will be shit, also looks a lot like low budged unpolished xcom

>>715512116
>live up to what BB is or even was back when it released
Talk about low expectations, don't worry anon it won't be that bad

>>715513131
Good taste. Look solid and supposedly it will be mod friendly not like overhype

>thought this was year of the TBTs
>nothing I've had on my wishlist has actually been released beyond Cyber Knights which I found underwhelming, and shit like mars tactics/this/project haven/slaves of magic don't have defined release dates
Bros... I'm not feeling it anymore

>>715512184
Making a sequel that is just more of the same shit they already did is a losing prospect for indies. And the shit you're complaining about is irrelevant anyways. I put hundreds of hours into BB and I never gave a rat's ass about any individual bro because I'm not a child who plays with dolls like you. The new system should actually encourage investment because the preset characters have diverse (kek) and unique skillsets instead of every bro functionally either being fodder or a shoein for one of a handful of roles you always build the same way.

>>715512568
This is true. We need more hot semitic representation in vidya like Farah and Dina.

>>715515442
don't worry anon World's End will 100% release this year trust

What are the chances a demo coming to Steam NEXT fest?

>>715512568
she is probably the hottest black woman character second only to sheeva

>>715518202
She looks AI-generated.

about how the characters you're constantly viewing from the top at a 10% zoom look like, what are the god damn mechanics? Is it going to be 2ap uber streamlined new xcom bullshit or what

>>715519030
having his medieval fantasy artist brain restricted to humpty dumpty chess pieces will forever be the monkey's paw of BB

>>715517656
None.

>>715519379
It's not xcom. It's more of tabletop wargame with squad of troops and vehicles as single unit.

>>715518881
surprisingly attractive

>>715516251
that is a lot of projection on your side, nigger. perhaps its from when when your daddy beat you for being remotely interested in hobbies that wasn't passing him a cold one or bending over for a belting.

>>715518881
By an AI with taste.

>>715519828
He is not wrong tho. Look at grimrock, sequel sold much worse. Niche sequels usually sell worse.
Also Devs were ass lasted that 3d wartales sold much better

>>715518881
Eh. Choco girl is nice. The spic on the other hand look bad and sound bad, just listen to her in one of the trailers. Like unholy mix of angry spic and pajeeta trying hard. Just laughed when my ears bled

>>715512568
>average maria tambien enjoyer

>>715516251
Funny how Intravenous 2 was much better than Intravenous 1 then. Or how Jagged Alliance was a big improvement over JA1. Almost like giving fans what they want is more important than "NOOOO WE MUST DO NEW THINGS!!!"

>>715512184
At least it's a cute chocolate girl instead of the usual eldritch abomination.

>>715515442
You can add End State to the list of never evers.

>>715521021
At least that's in early access so it's actually playable

I really appreciate steam adding these disclaimers.

>>715521076
It's particularly barebones right now and updates release at snail pace, of course it's mixed. I think it'll be a miracle if they don't release a half-backed update trying to hold their mess together and call it 1.0.
Hope I'm wrong but things aren't looking good. A shame, they had a good skeleton but not much more.

>>715521386
Oh I see it's this kind of bullshit.
I don't get it, it takes nothing to write a few dev logs every other month to give the impression that the game is still kicking, or a "JOIN ME ON DICKSWORD" disclaimer.

>>715510784 (OP)
this looks like shit bro
>>715513131
>>715515289
this looks way better

Info about game mechanics

>the game uses AP, not blue moves from Xcom
>You alternate turns with the AI after every unit that is moved, meaning you never sit back and watch the AI move many units at once
>You also get to choose which unit to move until every unit on your team has taken a turn
>This is integral to the strategy of the game. Do you move your best unit right away to attack, or do you save them for last when everyone else has gone?
>A single unit is actually a squad of five people. As it takes damage, members will start to die and it has less damage potential.
>The final member is a pre-written leader character (and there is permadeath for them)
>Vehicle units consist of just one vehicle, not a squad
>The combat factors in range, armor, penetration, supression, fear, etc
>An operation consists of several mission in a row. Completing all of them can reward you with better faction relationships, discounts, ship parts, etc

lmao
hard fucking pass

>>715520729
He's right though, there's a rule for indie devs that says a sequel will only make about half of the first game, even if it is an improved version that took years to make. All the buyers who just filled their library with a game they won't play aren't gonna buy the sequel as well. Intravenous 2 only surpassed the first after Sseth made a review for it.

>>715521508
>JOIN ME ON DICKSWORD
No. Unwishlisted

>>715521821
Also they have hinted towards there being some kind of eldritch ''menace'' that you fight in the endgame, but in the devlogs they only talk about fighting pirates, rebels, etc

>>715521508
A halt is when you're stopped.

>>715521821
>the game uses AP, not blue moves from Xcom
So the original Xcom movement?

>>715523878
sorry, you're talking out of your ass
iv2 sold 4 times better than iv1 in the same period of time, and made two times more money in 1 year than iv1 did in 4 years

>>715510784 (OP)

>>715525436
Cool people like me typically refer to them as "X-com" and not "Xcom"

>>715521508
>the update is complete (but it isnt complete)
reading doublethink is so fucking exhausting
personally I think steam should just make it so ea cancer becomes free after a year without updates, that'll put the fear of god in these retards

>>715510784 (OP)
>make a normal first game
>go full woke with the second
many such cases

>>715531643
That would be hilarious

If the game is Xcom + Battle Brothers then it's already 10/10

They've got a giant bank of goodwill from me and others, because Battle Brother is excellent.
HOWEVER, let us not forget that Battle Brothers started out as merely good but sort of threadbare, and then became excellent after several updates and DLCs. Let us not forget that they declared the game "finished, no forthcoming updates" shortly after release and then reversed course later on, releasing all their wonderful expansions with apparent reluctance(?) Also let us not forget that the devs initially seethed when mod tools became available, and only later reversed into saying "Actually we support mods :)"
The point is that they seem to get things right eventually, but not the first time. I strongly suspect that Menace will be kind of rough on release, and will be tuned into
It's final form after a year or two. Still gonna buy on release but I shouldn't

>>715510784 (OP)
Looked at the dev blogs. Menace doesn't seem very fun to play like battle brothers. I'll wait till we get a demo to judge anyway.
