I agree about Frozen Cortex. I'm enjoying it a lot more than I ever did Blood Bowl, something nice about having random chance thrown out and having it all come down to strategy and anticipation.

Julio Riddols 02-22-2015 02:33 PM

Also, red was the winner. The answer could have been any color, since the question was which one is the fastest in your opinion. Maybe some people think green is fast. I dunno.

Half of us should buy a copy and share with another buddy on here... Then we should start a league.

korme 02-22-2015 03:56 PM

That sounds fun.

League would be a blast.

If you play multiplayer is it asynchronous turns? Are they simultaneous? How long would a match take if someone only did say one turn per day?

I have it, still figuring out all its quirks...I'm not performing well (just in league play).

Took me a bit to get settled in, but after starting 3-3 in a single player league I managed to finish 10-4 and make the knockout rounds, where I got saddled with a bad field and couldn't figure out a way to score without giving them the time and number of possessions needed to out score me.

I like how the fields are random, the obstacles really change each game and give things a feel of unpredictability.

Multi-player is nice in that you can have many games going at once and just click around from game to game making your moves.

I got a free copy of There Came an Echo from the devs give away on NeoGAF so I'll be trying that out when it releases tomorrow.

After watching Dodger stream Darkest Dungeon several times I finally got around to playing it. My A Team had been doing so well until I lost my Hellion to the Old Hag's cooking pot. For now I've replaced her with a Leper and have been spending most runs praying that he actually managed to hit something.

I have had a few crashes so far, most of which haven't been too bad with the auto save. Frustrating when it crashes as I start a mission and it loads in town before having started but still leaves me out the gold I'd spent on supplies.

Send me your info, old buddy. I got a copy for you.

korme 02-23-2015 11:45 PM

Downloading now. How many players do we need for a league?

mckerney 02-23-2015 11:49 PM

Picked up Frozen Cortex. Decent at passing the ball but terrible at defense so far.

mckerney 02-24-2015 12:32 AM

And as I say that I manage an 11-0 victory where a pick and fumble recovery make up for the interception I threw on my own offensive possession.

Only played a handful of games so far, but does getting the ball first seem like a pretty big advantage to anyone else? Most games I've played go three possessions so the team that goes first starts with the ball twice, plus it seems easier to defend a field after you've seen what you can do on offense.

korme 02-24-2015 01:37 AM

How long does the average game take? This first game of mine has taken well over an hour.

stevew 02-24-2015 02:06 AM

Anyone know anyone with an alienware alpha? I know original reviews weren't great but a recent price drop(to $479) at least makes it an interesting option. I was looking at getting a desktop anyways.

Looks like you can always update the ram and hdd and CPU at a later point if you elect to.

Julio Riddols 02-24-2015 02:09 AM

Single player games usually take me about 15 minutes. Unsure about the play advantage, but I don't think passes should count as turns, personally.

I haven't looked into starting an MP league yet, but there is a button for exactly that in game, so I will give it a look.

EDIT: MP not ready to go just yet, but should be in a forthcoming patch. When that patch drops we should be fairly well acquainted with the game I think, and probably ready to start one.

I wonder why my games are getting hung up, then. CPU takes a very very long time to make their move.

Ramzavail 02-24-2015 03:34 PM

Just splurged on Sunless Sea (full price) and 20% off Hand of Fate. I really need a purchasing break (and I'm vowing to wait for a Darkest Dungeon sale). I did a search of how much I spent on Steam and related PC games in the past 6 months. Nearly $300. I won't be sharing that over dinner to the wife. :) But I'm guessing that isn't as bad as a lot of people here.

with Steam, it's not how much you spent but how much you saved!

Mizzou B-ball fan 02-27-2015 02:24 PM

Anyone played Galactic Civilizations III? Noticed that it's 50% off this weekend and was thinking about making the plunge.

QuikSand 02-27-2015 02:42 PM

I'd pay for someone's extra copy of Frozen Cortex. Sounds intriguing.

I think I got an extra copy, you can have it a no cost.

britrock88 02-27-2015 06:03 PM

Only seems right to make a Qwik->Quik swap happen.

I guess that would be a quickie...

Qwik should charge him 2/3 of a cent...


Thank you, Thank you!!! I'll be here all week...

Was wondering the same thing.

EagleFan 02-27-2015 06:57 PM

Anyone else looking for Frozen Cortex?

PM me your Steam name.

Wolfpack 02-27-2015 09:22 PM

I'll put my hand out for a Frozen Cortex copy. I ain't too proud. :D

korme 02-27-2015 09:44 PM

Wolfpack, send me your steam info. I have an extra copy as well.

Once MP play becomes available we will get a league going. I'm currently 4-10 in my season :D

FrogMan 02-28-2015 05:27 PM

don't know how often I could play but I would be interested in Frozen Cortex too :D

SirFozzie 02-28-2015 05:31 PM

Same here (interest that is)

cschex 02-28-2015 05:59 PM

I loved Blood Bowl back in the day so if someone has an extra I'd put my name in the ring

EagleFan 02-28-2015 06:57 PM

I am having issues trying to send items. Once I get that cleared up I'll try to send Frozen Cortex.

Fidatelo 03-02-2015 09:02 AM

I'll do a Frozen Cortex split with anyone interested.

stevew 03-03-2015 03:44 PM

I went ahead and picked up the Alienware Alpha, pricematching it down to $469. For the form factor it was going to be hard to do much better. I still need another 4GB of ram and I'm going to have to swap in a SSD at some point. The steam UI is pretty nice and I could totally see using it basically like a console if that was something you wanted to do.

Coffee Warlord 03-03-2015 03:53 PM

Be down for some Frozen Cortex if people are still tossing them out.

thesloppy 03-03-2015 06:38 PM

Me toooooooo!

MizzouRah 03-05-2015 07:06 PM

Anyone getting Sid Meier's Starships next week? For $15 I'll check it out.

Assuming it gets good reviews I'm grabbing it.

MizzouRah 03-07-2015 04:09 PM

Wasteland 2 for $20 - going to dive into it right now.

frnk55 03-07-2015 04:16 PM

Looking forward to Cities Skyline. I hate tuesday releases. Why the hell can't it be on Saturday.

This is why this thread is one of my favorites on this board.. Been waiting for this kind of deal for Wasteland 2.

I've watched like 10 hours worth of Let's Plays on YouTube. Really psyched for this one!

Yeah me too! I was shocked to see it at 50% off today so I got it, created my crew and set off! Hope to really get into it tomorrow.

Ramzavail 03-08-2015 08:09 PM

in my few attempts at WL2, I've gotten ROCKED. I need to read up more on how to create a better team.

It is very hard at first. Gets easier as you get more proficient though.

Dutch 03-08-2015 08:44 PM

Hopefully I have time to finish I up before Pillars of Eternity is unleashed on the PC Gaming world. :)
