I meant, it just makes things more complicated than “classic” RTS, making the pause even more helpful (giving precise order can be complicated, but I’ve only tried one control type out of two-ish)
I’d be curious to see the sale results of the games while takeling the amount of console/PC present as well as the market size during the release year.
We might have surprise about results of all the games with these parameters.
If like me you wanted the patch notes, without clicking:
FIXES
Fixed a crash that could occur after the cinematic that plays when transitioning from Act II to Act III.
Fixed an issue preventing you from taking a Short Rest when having added and dismissed Us with a companion party member and then loaded certain savegames.
Fixed Us appearing at camp and near other waypoints when that didn’t make sense.
Fixed an issue introduced in Hotfix 21 causing reduced performance on Mac.
I had to get rid of the 2nd edition one year ago because of a contact/short issue. :(
So useful to know who was speaking in mumble/teamspeak when I had only one screen…
And the shortcut keys were useful at the time (I don’t have much use for them now).
Edit: I’ve seen the video and yes, I forgot how CLEAR the software was. It was extremely easy to set, set the shortcuts to work as you wanted.
The current new logitec soft/driver is an utter shit, buggy, extremely confusing (I gave up on trying to setup the backlight how I want it because how stupidly confusing the UI is) and crashing all the time.
Adding a bit more to the discussion on whether game subscription can be “the future”, it looks like despite the heavy push made in the past decade, subscriptions only make up 10% of total video game spending in the US....

Hadn’t had much news on bungie since I left Destiny when discovered the hybrid cashgrab/turd that was Lightfall. Reddit was my main source of info, so leaving it for Lemmy didn’t help.
I had no idea they went trough a massive layoff.
It’s a shame, most of what I had against D2 was clearly management-related and the team feelt so talented (Arts, Gameplay, story…).
Ah they kept the graphical choice of Planetary Annihilation… Not my favorite (I know, purely personal taste).
Like the idea a lot thought. Could be fun to have a “two mans team” mode where you can split the tasks however you want (two different fronts with production and battle? One full production and one commander? Etc…)
Wasn’t Planetary Annihilation developed by Uber? I need to take a look a the kickstarter. Thanks for the share!

Ah that’s true, I realize it now that you put it your finger in it: ME2 is really a “let’s tour the universe” kind of story fleshing out the background of known races (and adding new ones) and places.
