>Everyone with early access to the demo says it's a masterpiece>Demo comes out tomorrowXcom is officially replaced, long live the king
>>721906825Unironically my most anticipated game. I can't fucking wait.
>>721906825It's not really an XCOM replacement, though. Nor Battle Brothers 2.0.
>>721906825>Xcom is officially replacedthe original or the new ones?
>>721908823This. And that's a good thing, because I like the supposed more tactical/realistic approach.
unfortunately named studio
>>721906825Is this everyone in this thread right now for free?
>>721909747Are you having a stroke, anon?
I just hope my shitegrated graphics can run it. Battle Brothers and Starsector are one of my favourite games with deep, tactical combat. The sound in this game fucking slaps by the way. Those guys really know their shit when it comes to making the game feel good to play
>>721906825Shit I'll take it. The only xcom like game I knew of on the way is Mars Tactics and that was revealed last year and there's no way its going to make it out this year either.
>>721909842VFX are also great. I usually don't get hyped about games anymore, but I'm really liking all I've seen so far. I hope the demo won't be a letdown.
But is it like OG X-COM or nu-XCOM?
I was kinda hoping it would be individual soldier control Xcom + vehicles but it doesn't seem too badhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SiPM43ALDo
>>721910435Neither. So far, it looks like a bit of XCOM, JA2, but on a squad level.
>>721910561>JA2I'm sold.
>>721910009The game will launch in EA this year supposedly. It's also supposed to be moddable from the get go, unlike Battle Bros>>721910287Yep, it's all great. And cinematic camera might also be added at some point>Thats the reason why you cant tilt the camera yet.
>>721910009literally just announced its coming out 2026. though probably not a coincidence in mentioning
I dunno, not feeling it. Having streamers shill for it makes me even more skeptical. I'll wait for release and see what people say here or on RPGCodex to be certain.Still wish for Battle Brothers 2 if I'm gonna be honest.
>>721909842Don't forget the squaddie banter. >>721910536Shilltismal made a boring ass video. This one is a lot better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lpIie4RdYE
>>721910952Oh shit really? I've just been checking out the steam page for an updated release date every now and then. Well hopefully this game scratches the itch or its back to the Xcom2 mines for me.
>>721911158>beaglerushThe dude went from being walking-talking XCOM general, constantly dropping all kinds of /v/ injokes to literally "hurr that's offensive okay, not cool" in the span of 1 year.
>>721911517I couldn't care less.
>>721911605You should. Because that means he's insincere and is probably being paid to shill for this game then.
>>721911875I don't want to talk about your gay eceleb drama. I want to talk about the game.
>>721910009They showed it off a few minutes ago on the Tokyo game show, releasing May 2026. It seems to scratch more of that X-com itch compared to Menace, which is cool. In 2026 we'll be getting both an ambitious new take on the tactics genre and something that feels classic
>>721911989The thing is if people are bringing him up and he's shilling for the game then you have to bring it up because he's giving people false impressions.
>>721912191I posted the link. I literally have no idea who the dude is, and I don't really care, because I'm not a brainrotted faggot who follows some literally who eceleb's every step. The video is solid, explains quite a bit about the game, shows cool stuff that is clearly well-crafted, and that's it. I want to talk about the game. I don't want to talk about ecelebs. Maybe you should go back to /vt/ or some other retarded board for gay faggots where you belong.
>>721912501>Keeps missing the pointOk dude you're hopeless.
>>721912602If you can't discern actual shilling without searching for some past sins of the eceleb in question, then you are even more retarded than I thought. I don't care about the author, I care about specific content. Which is why I mentioned what is in the video.
>>721906825>>721912040Really hyped for these two. I hope Quasimorph gets better and better too.Shame about Stoneshard. There was unlimited potential there.
>>721906825Really hoping that with the demo coming out tomorrow it means that the release date for the actual game is coming out soon.Also want to know more about the titular alien menace you are going to fight. From the very first trailer to the few gameplay shorts of the game it looks like The Thing and The Virus had a drunken romance and this abomination that assimilates both flesh and technology was the result of that one night romance.
>>721906825battle bros was highly overrated tho... sorry but it's true - all it did was fill a niche hole in the market for gimmick RNG difficulty
>>721910009Xenonaughts
>>721915371its better with mods
>>721906825Alright shill, I've never heard of your game before. Show some gameplay or anything, I could use a new xcom like game.
>>721911158>beaglecuckNo thanks. I used to watch him but he ultra cucked out.
>>721912602youre responding to a shill>>721912501holy shit this shill is booty blastedtake your faggot game and fuck off
>>721910009Did you miss the last video?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g17mGtvBiPw
>>721910604>JA2>With German writingUuuuh...
>>721918856this looks kinothe demo was great too
Someone on /v/ told me to look out for Book of Aliens as an X-com like game. No idea about the dev and the things they've made previously
>>721909505lmao
>>721920517>book ofholy shit i remember playing book of demons when it came outit was just a very shallow (turn based?) diablo clone
>>721915371no
>battle brother developersalright I'll give it a go
I have yet to see one screenshot of anything besides menus posted in these shill threads. The audacity.
Just reminder: It's a game built around supression mechanics, consecutive turns where range and concealment are key elements.
>>721906825i love women and especially noggy women in my army games what the fuck happened to these devs did their balls get cropped off after battle brothersno women no blacks only dunecoons which were largely irrelevant and portrayed as weak, effeminate and decadentextremely based game and now this fucking shitlooks like they combined breach and clear with jagged alliance and xenonauts with a spritz of cannon foddergayim still going to play it though for obvious reasons considering the AAA industry fucking sucks cock and jagged alliance 3 was dogshit nothing like 2 and xenonauts 2 failed hard on arrivali will be permadeathing the women straight into the first group of enemies i encounter
>>721922621There's like 3 youtubers I know of that have been given access. If I posted any of them you'd just call me a shill anyway, so what's the point? I'm not gonna spoonfeed you
>>721922621Youtube is full of unedited gameplay videos, nothing is stopping you from checking them.
>>721906825It looks like shit tho?>pregen squad with unique art instead of nobodies you can customize>demo squads are half girlbosses>TU like AP but no reactions of any kind at least baseline>AI is dumb as bricks, neither rps nor metagames>no friendly fire outside of explosive weapons makes positioning barely matter>it felt like there is no true ballistics either, you hit or don't hit only what you target>no verticality and token destruction>no weapon customization and all demo weapons were boring as fuckGoddamn i wish somebody already make legally distinct Infinity into videogame. We still fucking stuck with flat place babiesfirsttactics like it is 1995, except it somehow has less features than ogXCOM, when even tabletop wargames moved on.
>>721922791>>721922802>nothing is stopping you from increasing engagement for our gay ass ecelebs we've brokered exposure deals with!yeah nothing stopping me but having a brain. I hope this whole industry crashes and everyone who has invested into fucking dies from turbo genital cancer that makes them puke up their own innards in front of their loved ones.
>>721923293Then wait for tomorrow and play it yourself?
>>721912501you're right, kiwifarm niggers be gone, who cares about beagle in 2025
>>721922851>>no verticalitywhat's the excuse for this in 2025

>shill shill shiiiilShartyteens are truly deranged.
>>721923426Can't win with them, lol. You spoonfeed - they say it's an inorganic shill thread, have them do their own damn research - nuh-uh, because it generates clicks.
>>721923691what? if you mean fotm friendslop coop shit, it aint coop
>>721922851>it felt like there is no true ballistics either, you hit or don't hit only what you targetfucking lazy and gay, JA2 had proper ballistics in fucking 1999whoever shills this is a braindead retard

>>721906825Does it have permadeath? I won't buy it if it does.
>>721925241Girls can't be warriors
>>721925404It does. Saved you $70.
It's woke
3D graphics was a mistake. It looks awful. Meanwhile Battle Brothers will never age.
>>721906825looks great from what i've seen, i probably can't play it because i have but a laptop and shan't be buying any new hardware for a while

>>721925924I'll let anons with bad PCs know how it runs on a Ryzen 3 3200G tomorrow. The most demanding games I've played through was Baldur's Gate 3 and KCD2. Surely this game can't run worse than those games
>>721910536really dislike this guys takes now that he outed himself as a shill.
>>721926805well, at least it's not another gacha game
>>721926805People cheat in BB? I think you only need bros stat show mod because fuck this shitty system

Why are they shtting threads for niche game wtf? Hades 2 and SH F generate better traffic.>BB was released 8 years ago
>>721928324hahaha holy fuck that explains a lot
>>721926968BB is so fucking bad no one plays how it was intended or advertised lmao, no one actually does ironman runs because how poorly balanced the game is. And if they do its with alt+f4ing scuming. The only good DLC was Warriors of the North and even then they fucked it up by not having a barbarian end game scenario with it.
>>721928389>BB is so fucking bad no one plays how it was intended or advertised lmao>And if they do its with alt+f4ing scumingWhat? Sounds like a projection. It's not really so hard once you learn mechanics. You don't need to cheat.
here is an example of how these marketing firms operate. they're rarely so transparent about it- that would make it easier to identify them in the wild. but these guys low key suck at it and the games they market don't do well so they need to drum up business by generating engagement for themselves. still though, these firms are real and they're here and they will gaslight you into all sorts of stupid shit as seen in this thread.https://imgur.com/a/zemore-indie-consulting-F2B7EmS

here's a .pdf that Hooded Horse, the publisher for MENACE, has made to help indie devs learn how to link up with shills more effectively.https://media.gdcvault.com/gdc2024/Slides/GDC+slide+presentations/Rui_Snow_25+Games+Signed.pdf

notice that the shills are no longer rabidly posting in this thread now that I have sufficiently derailed it with corporate slide decks and articles indicating the true nature of the industry. they will now either attempt to flood the thread with replies to push it out of eyesight, or simply abandon the thread and start another one.
>>721929042Do you know what GDC stand for?
>>721929882based anon dunking on paid shills keep doing gods work
>>721929882See you tomorrow in the demo thread, faggot.
>>721929927yes it's the Game Developer Conference where all these publishers go to meet up and exchange ideas on how to better take money from idiots. what are you trying to get at?
>publisher: hooded horseunironic shill thread
>>721930002please tell Tim that it is now my sole purpose in life to make sure his investment never sees green numbers.
>>721929683That's literally nothing in terms of play time you don't know what true bullshit is. God bless you ignoramus soul
>>721906825Hey faggot shills I'm never gonna buy this game but I will pirate it to shit on it
>>721926805Whenever I hear people talk about how to play BB, it's always something like "oh you need to use this borderline exploit to get high level armor right away. Btw, if you pick any of these classes then you're already fucked". It's a shame, I love medieval mercenaries and tactics, but if I can't have fun just starting the game how I want then I won't play at all
>battle brothers is a classic /v/core game that gets talked about here on and off for years>devs next game comes out>THAT ISN'T THE LATEST AAA KEK SIMULATOR SHILL SHILL SHILL SHILL SHILL SHILLThe fucking state of this board, christ
>>721926926I haven't watched his Menace video since I'm playing it tomorrow anyway, but I always used to like ChristopherOdd. He never felt like a shill to me. Mortismal I agree is a liar and a shill
>>721929882>notice that once I rabidly shitpost it kills discussionWow, that sure is proof that it was shills, which is why they gave up easily.
>>721930502>strawmanning to recover the plot>implying anything "/v/core" in the past ten years wasn't just a marketing campaign tooI get it though, the sad reality is if you are an indie game developer you simply MUST attach yourself to these parasites to have any semblance of a chance at market success, and therefore income for your hard work. I think being ethical is better, but what can you do when every western nation is in a race to the bottom of being more like China?
>>721930502its literally just one schitzo but the game is so niche anons that aren't clued in don't know about it, plus it's not out yet (demo out tomorrow)
>>721930627>they're going with "flood the thread and depict the rational actor as irrational" in responselol, lmao even
>>721930714>implying anything "/v/core" in the past ten years wasn't just a marketing campaign too>literally admitting you think anybody actually talking about videogames on a videogame board is a shillGenuinely kill yourself you fucking subhuman

>>721930818>intentionally conflating genuine discussion with grassroots marketing to muddy the waters for anons with less developed pattern recognition skillsshiggy
Maybe I should reinstall it one last time
>>721930898Battle brothers had genuine discussion for years, yes.I get that you wouldn't understand that because you're a retarded inbred faggot that hates videogames, but it's the case.Could you spend even a fraction of the effort here schizoing out about the actual blatant shills on this board? Where are you in the 24/7 gatcha generals?
>>721927881Nice falseflag, discordtroonI will keep rejecting claifornian garbage while playing games that have non-obnoxous niggers and women in them despite your desperate attempts to paint gigachuds as people that hate on every game with niggers and women in them.I love L4D and TF2 even though those games have playable niggers in them.I love NOLF and Syberia even though those games have female protagonists.You falseflags are futile. Give up.
>>721931031gacha has the inherent advantage of exploring gambling addiction. I'm not irrational enough to devote effort to a lost cause. on the other hand, I know my efforts here are infuriating the shit out of somebody who's income is directly tied to the success of this game.
>>721931141>I don't care about actual shills but I am going to sperg out about actual discussion about the games /v/ actually cares aboutPure fucking delusion. The sooner you neck yourself the better.
>>721930163>That's literally nothing in terms of play time you don't know what true bullshit isWhat do you mean? The game is just cycle of end game crises. Just don't do thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG9TdeMP7UM
>>721931290>trying to paint the rational actor as irrational againyou guys need new material
>>721931324Yes, I am calling you irrational because you are clearly irrational. You're not automatically correct because you say you are, faggot.
here's a fun article on how this form of cynical marketing is even stressing out people within the industry:https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-this-is-just-a-death-cycle-no-more-robots-gets-candid-about-the-state-of-indie-publishing
reminder: there's no such thing as an "indie developer" anymore. well, there is, but you will literally never see or hear about their work.
>>721931780You wouldn't happen to be a game dev failure yourself? It would explain a lot
>>721932068>let's try depicting it as sour grapes!nope, I'm a successful senior in my actually real industry which I will not elaborate on because there is no reason to- you'll just contort whatever I say and my ego stands to gain nothing even if you didn't. what's really going on is a general fatigue for cynical marketing manifesting itself as extremely annoying anti-establishment fucks such as myself cropping up in obvious shill threads more often since they have finally had enough of their hobby getting absolutely gutted for a quick buck.
having the overhype artist doing actual modern military shit with a sci-fi edge instead of humpty dumpty people is probably what has me most excited for this game. the visuals look like xenonauts but better, cleaner
>>721930423try wartales
>>721931690what does this article has to do with this thread or the game? it's just a guy complaining about covid bubble burst and how middle budget games do not attract investors and publishers - you either go big or cheap
>>721932241OK, and imagine my surprise, and maybe even feeling of pity, when I make this thread in earnest and see you schizoing all over. If you have a problem with people mentioning youtubers since those are the only ones with access to the game currently, whatever, but try to take your meds so you don't shit up the thread tomorrow when we can actually talk about our own experiences with the game.I'm happy for your senior dishwasher position btw
just ignore the retard, you're letting a single faggot derail the thread, just hide his posts and move onanyway, i hope it's good, i've enjoyed BB despite it's sometimes borderline retarded design decisions. i've been fiending for a new xcom thingie for a while, why did firaxis decide to kill themselves with a fucking deckbuilder marvel game
>>721932498Finished act 1 coop with a friend, but we dropped it because there were too many interesting games coming out around the time. We've talked about continuing it. My only real complaint was how slowly you leveled up, it felt like we never got any fun skills to use
>>721912040>>721922851I'm kind of taken aback by the positivity in this thread, I checked out some gameplay and it looks very generic and boring
>>721932424Right? I've always loved his work. I've never used their forums that much, but I sometimes lurked in the artist's thread to take a look at upcoming content for BBros.
>uh oh guys we got a live one, I need you all in this threadlol, lmao even
>>721906825i liked the teaser trailer they did with astartes guy, maybe he can do more in game cinematics
It looks more like silent storm or men of war desu
I wanna plaaaaaaaaaaay

This thread is MENACE
>>721906825Will I like xcom if I like wasteland 2 and 3 and barely like triangle strategy? I've read that it is an extremely stressful game.
>>721928383we don't play video games on this board, tranny.
>>721906825I kinda wish the squad leaders were randomly generated mooks you could customize like in Battle Brothers tbdesu
>>721936831same, but im stil; open to the idea of the squad leaders being set characters. i just hope there's more you can unlock and maybe some that align less as a pragmatic military man and more dubious and more like the terrorist faction
>>721936831Is it a trpg with 'heroes'? That doesn't exist, does it? There are strategy games with heroes, wc3 or spellforce, but no trpg with heroes.
>>721931028play the legends mod
>>721925625no one has posted the tiktacs gameplay yet so I know its shitits like that xcom like game breaking point god that was shitwhen ppl talked about xcom I didnt have to go though over half a thread to see gamelay
>>721930423>>721926805Whenever I read your posts, I think "those faggots just have to keep inventing new bullshit instead of admitting to themselves that they are shit at the game". Bunch of whiny faggots.
>>721940196I didn't play it, but I'm sure I could be good at the game if I followed a guide like every BB player I've ever seen discuss the game. I don't do guides though
>>721940196following flowcharts and premade builds doesn't make you good at the game. I bet you couldn't do a run without a duelist thrower or fat newt you metaslave.
>>721940678I was obsessed with watching guides and playthroughs of the game until I finally got it. Maybe it was because of all the shit I've seen but it felt too easy and like you just do the same shit over and over, there's no real place for risk and the overworld systems were so basic and drab too so I just ended up dropping it. Maybe it'll be better now that I haven't played it for like a year or so.
>>721906825>early access to the demo???
>>721906825>XcomIt's more like chimera squad since it focuses on pre-made characters.
>>721912040holy shit why are these portraits so bad
>>721911875Who cares? If you're the kind of person who decide what game to buy based on a stream you should base your opinion on the gameplay shown, not how hard the streamer can suck off the devs. No matter how much a shill tries to hype up a dogshit game the simple fact that they are actively playing it should give you all the info you need on if it's a good choice or not.
>>721937667If XCOM2 counts as a "trpg" then yes, they have "hero" classes.But they're basically rare super-units, (well not skirmishers lel), that are still randomly generated, not named characters if that's what you mean.
>>721946927>tranny has never played JA
>>721906825Woke slop
>>721906825People were hyped for phoenix point too.
>>721948083Beaglerush relentlessly made fun of Phoenix Point when he first got to play it, laughing at how bad it was. With Menace, he called it a 15 out of 10.>b-but he's a shillYeah, maybe, his career as a communist streamer could be in a slump and he could have taken to shilling. It's interesting to note nonetheless. We'll find out tomorrow if the hype is real or not.
>>721948083Based Piratez enjoyer
>>721948514>communistI know he was beloved by SA but didn't know he was in the chuddy chapo/vaush crowd huh
>>721906825Been on record saying this was going to be slop for a long time. Looking forward to being proved correct yet again.
>>721948083>tfw I actually like Phoenix PointIt definitely feels half baked, but there's a lot of things I really like over NuCOM or XCOM2
Oh shid there's a demo? My interest has increased enough to bump this thread off page 7.
>>721938053>tfw scaling beggar who can now casually beat entire armies to death with his bare hands still gets fucked by RNGI mean he didn't die or anything but still, the statistical probability of this happening is mindbogglingly low for it to happen semi regularly.

>>721952473I don't recall saying it doesn't matter, nigger. I said if you're such a mentally fragile little bitch that the mere sight of a nigger, (something you will be forced to see anytime you leave your mom's basement in most large cities), sends you into conniptions then you will likely have an option to de-nog them.
>>721906825Xcom will never be replaced and I'm talking about Xcom Ufo Defense and not the modernslop dogshit. But this looks like a genuinely fun game.
>>721952656Large cities here don't have any niggers in them. I've seen a nigger in person exactly twice in my life and I have to be out and about. Sucks for you to be born in a bad country I guess.
>>721953142This.
>>721952656damn bitch, pose harder you almost made me think you had a testicle
>>721909505Better than IFuckKids Studios I guess
>>721947235>the simple fact that they are actively playing it should give you all the info you need on if it's a good choice or not.that's a pretty retarded thing to say about a systems heavy strategy game where one campaign lasts dozens of hours. Difficulty crumbles if you use this obvious tactic? Omit that. Early, mid, or late game has any problems? Omit that. Map variety is exhausted in about 6 hours and becomes painfully monotonous? Omit that.
>>721925625How the fuck do these fags expect me to sacrifice that queen when some op goes ogre?...smfh...
>>721926805That game is a breeze...except for those pieces of shit ghosts!!
>>721953371Ok, good for you. That is a luxury most of the world does not have and, statistically speaking, you will not get to keep unless you fight for it, so I certainly hope you are doing more than just bitching about nogs in video games on this anonymous anime forum to keep it.>>721953457Please see attached image.
>>721926805It already looks better than BB because you have more tools to work with than just shuffling your troops and hoping the enemy makes stupid moves. There's suppression, recon drones, grenades and lethality is very high for both sides.

>>721906825hadn't heard of this before but thanks shill threads this actually looks cool. I was playing original XCOM recently and was thinking a modern mercenary setting would be a neat spin on that gameplay. So what's the deal with the demo? Tomorrow morning or something? Steam only? I want to tell my friend about it but he's only got a steam deck and ps5
>>721926805From what I've seen the two aren't really even comparable except that they are turn based and involve using more than three brain cells. Menace seems to just have flat out more development, in every metric. Budget, time to polish it, nuance in gameplay, they're just not really in the same league. Battle Brothers is a small indie game whereas Menace looks like a successful indie studio's first AA game. (Or whatever the term is for just below AA. A? A-game sounds retarded.)That's not to say that BB is bad by any means, it's one of my favorites, but it's just not really valid to try to compare them 1:1 when they're completely different from the ground up so much that just arbitrarily declaring one "better" than the other feels disingenuous.
>>721932498Wartales is basically a best developed version of BB, the big problem is that the dudes making it think they are Paradox with their DLC bullshit.
>>721955587wartales is so fucking slow and boringhorrible shit
>WartalesShould i pick Skelmar before the discount runs out?I kinda want to give the game another run, i played it when it released and with i think one DLC...
>>721955846So its BB...its just the type of games they are.That said BB music clears Wartales' so fucking much.
>>721955587The thing I hate about Wartales is how restrictive it is with unit battle positioning and how shitty most of its battle maps are. And the absolutely nonsensical fucking relationship system where a guy might want to marry his horse.
>>721955980battle brothers is fun thoughwartales was awfulI played about 30 hours in a campaign and loathed it at the endthe scaling was so fucking shitty
Hourly mandated bump.
>>721955862Just use creamapi
