Fallout 4 GOTY on Steam for GBP8.74, until 26th October.

I'm quite tempted by this. Any of you played it?
Pretty good open world shooter with RPG elements. Terrible Fallout game.

Steam has a sale on with most games at their cheapest price or cheaper.

I just bought Farming Simulator 19 even though I have a free copy on Epic, but I bought it on steam for all the DLC, I could have bought the DLC on Epic and saved myself £5 and change, but I hate the Epic store, it was bad when they launched it, and it's still bad now even after all those years since it launched, meanwhile steam has even improved since then. Anyway, I'm rambling, check out the steam sale for some awesome prices.

Warzone 2100

https://wz2100.net/

I thought I would give a shout out for this awesome game, not sure if anyone remembers the original? the game is now free and ope source, maintained by a community that keeps it strong.

I do have one word of warning, the game is one steam as well, but don't bother with that version. As someone forked the release, and uploaded the game taking credit for the game. The community that I linked too, doesn't endorse or support the steam version in any way. Also the version on steam isn't up to date, and the commander doesn't seem to bother updating the steam version that often until someone begs him on his discord channel.

Anyway, one reason for the shout out for the community ran project is that the game has undergone many balance changes, as well as using a brand new campaign balance. <== Something that been in the works for a long time, and only recently with the version 4.XX, new changes got merged into the master branch.

The campaign is a bit tougher, also weapons have been rebalanced. For example the flamer, No one bothered with this weapon, it got overshadowed and replaced by the better MG. However, the MG is a lot weaker now, especailly against structures. The flamer has a longer range, and very useful against structures for a few levels. cannons also have been rebalanced. and some weapons that were next to useless in the campaign now has a purpose.

There is a detailed changelog, but seems there is a problem accessing the forum at this time.

Anyway, I'm redoing the game, while the balance is a bit harder, its enjoyable, and it makes you work for victory.

“That explains its unusual shape,” Styanar said, grinning openly now. “Although it does little to illuminate just why your jowls are so flaccid or why you have quite so many chins.”

“I…” Had she just called him fat? “I am just a different species, that’s all.”

“Well nature sure does have a sense of humour then,” Styanar said. “Shall we go inside? It’d not be a good idea for me to be spotted by others.”

It's one of the finest RTS games ever made. And its good that its still maintained. It is fully open source. and you don't need anything extra like some other free / remade games, (I mean, as the coders / modders don't have the licensing to include the original core data files)

Everything is included, and the video file isn't included with the installer. But is a separate download when you install the game for the first time. (you can choose the quality of the video files, when you choose what files to install)

Have fun, as it is a true masterpiece of a game. And the new balance makes it more enjoyable and challenging. (especailly on higher difficulty levels)

Sorry for the double post, but this is for another game, well technically a mod for an existing game, not sure if this is technically allowed? but anyway

Duke Nukem High ress project.

https://hrp.duke4.net/

This is a mod that totally makes the game better. better visuals and sounds. However, you do need some core / original files, map and data files. (I think it does work with the steam version of the game? as the installer copies the required files to the HR folder. (so you need the original game installed) it does include the first chapter (shareware version) but you need the full version files for the best experience.

But the visuals have been totally enhanced, many if not all of the enemies are fully 3D. and the graphics are very high ress. So the game does take longer to load. And you do need a fairly decent system to run it with good settings.

Just thought I would post this here if anyone wasn't aware of the project.
