oh god, when will the era of turn base end?! when?!
What do u mean? Are you against it, or do you like it so much that ur worried it will end?
Either way, whats wrong with having every single genre alive and kicking? Choice is never a bad thing. Dont like it? Move along. Its like being mad cuz they make 50 types of pizzas, when you only like 1 of them.
The ‘era’ of turn based games? WTF are you on? If you don’t like turn based strategy/RPG games guess what: just don’t play them.
I’m not playing them, what the f*ck are You on? I knew there would be an as*hole or two offended. I counted 6. At least now I can distinguish you guys from the others.
LOL the only guy ‘offended’ here is you, getting your panties in a twist over the release of turn-based games and openly asking for that style to end. Period much?
No, you’re the one getting offended, YOU replied, no one asked you to. I’m just pissed at the way you talk to people, cause you’re a rude cynic ba***ard
Don’t confuse things, me replying because you are retarded doesn’t mean I’m offended.
Wow, you must be fun at parties Martin. You’re just an as*hole, plain and simple. Do*che.
Alex Botic at a party: ‘I hate vodka!! When is vodka going to end!!!!!’ *people staring*
That’s pretty accurate, I only drink Liquor Brands. Sorry if I respect myself, now I know where you’re coming from.
I don’t know why you don’t like turn-based games, bui I love them and don’t want them to go away, ever! 🙂
I understand you buddy, and I respect you’re preference. There should be more decent people like you out there 🙂
To tell you the truth, I used to love them back in the day (15years ago). But they weren’t making too many of them, and in time, I lost patience for this type of game. I used to be a Final Fantasy hardcore fan.
Now this with the mod that turns off most of the turn limits, finally.
This entire game is turn limit simulator 2016. Spent Xcom: EU/EW learning how to move your squad tactically across the map, using proper overwatch and keeping your snipers to the rear? Forget all that, as you are forced to dash all of your soldiers across the map like a bunch of autists because if you don’t, you will definitely not reach the objective in time to complete the mission. Of course, you will probably lose 1-2 soldiers by having to do this and then be forced to use rookies on the next mission with a 40% hit rate with the tip of their rifle halfway up a sectoids tailpipe.
4/10 Turn Limit Simulator 2016.
Yeah that’s what I have heard, it’s good that the steam workshop has already mods for removing turn limits.
Patch does f*ck all for the performance.
