Your opinion is terrible if you don't know what you are talking about. There was a lead animator and a lead character designer, the characters are made to be referenced to old cartoons and old fighting game characters. The characters in skullgirls are also made to look vastly different from one another to avoid characters to also look like clones and have some uniqueness to them.

Retro style? They would have actually made a sprite based fighter if they wanted that. You can not like the character designs and think they are bad but, one thing they aren't are half assed.

So yes your opinion is fucking awful.

I ordered the physical version on Amazon.de and it says release date is November 13th. Their supply channels must be backed up for awhile.

Most of the time stuff for UK, France and Germany all come out the same warehouse so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm somewhere at the backend of the queue. I've got the old 'We'll email you when we've got a release date' message instead of a date estimate so I guess I'll be twiddling my thumbs for a while.

It's more hassle than it's worth to be honest but I already fork over for Prime so it's not like I can upgrade my delivery options. Granted it's been better since we've moved so might be a different depot. Though that migh make the lucrative credit dream a bit dead :(

I think the manufacture for the physical PC version got pushed back. It would be nice if it releases with the other versions, but I have a feeling we will be waiting.

What you're describing is AAA Ubisoft design, I wouldn't expect a change of scenery to cure mediocrity.

Yeah, 4 is practically 3 with a different setting, which, unlike AssCreed, isn't enough for me, so I dropped it rather quickly. I've completed 2 through Blood Dragon, though, so I'm sure I'll give the game a fair shake eventually.

Hmmm. Gal Civ III or Beyond Earth: Rising Tide? Both come out to about $20 right now on GMG with their current voucher. Gal Civ currently 50% off there after I missed out on the Steam sale last week.

All A. Creed games have different settings with the same gameplay...

I'm saying that the lack of mechanical variety in the AssCreed series doesn't bother me. Being able to run around a well-realised recreation of a historical period is perhaps the biggest draw for me and that's not something I can at all say about Far Cry.

It's an Acti game, so most likely.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I played a bit of AssCreed Chronicles: China over the weekend (on PS4 because fuck the Uplay client). Game wasn't completely terrible - like a poor imitation of Mark of the Ninja. Sadly I got bored with it after the first three "missions". But that's longer than I've been able to play any other game in the series.

so here's a thought i had :

If Half like 3 Never comes out , do you feel like Valve would be morally obligated to lay bare all of the answers to all the questions in the series ?

What is the deal with the G-man ?
What is so important about the borealis ?

etc .

Valve should avoid addressing the series at all and let it become, over time, mankind's greatest mystery.

Finally just bought the latest Endless Legend DLC off GMG with their promo code. $10 instead of $13.

Still undecided on if I want to get Beyond Earth: Rising Tide or Gal Civ III, or pass on both for now. Lots of 4X goodness either way.

Some details on the delay.

A few months ago we discovered some issues relating to primarily licensing. Unfortunately we had to deal with this, which involved legal advice. Consequently, we were unable to talk about this at all. Some of our senior staff and mods were made aware of this and we have kept them up to date on this throughout, however they were also not able to talk publicly.

Finally, last weekend, we were able to resolve these issues and move forward. These complications only stopped release, but not the development of Spintires which is now why we have the update and it is being tested as this is posted.

Many other things have happened and shortly we will announce more details of the future roadmap of Spintires and details of future ports to other platforms. We will also be seeing greatly expanded development team beginning this side of the new year.

We have never given up as some people may have thought and we have kept working on the future, enjoy the update and expect interesting news in the future.
