Brother.... ....it's the absolute WORST. Recon sucks. Tecker sucks. You have to play offensive, but when you do, it's just a shit show.

@@20MG correct. Everything you learn before, don't work there.

I think every weapon has its place. If I'm honest. I did not get the massive hard on that. Everyone else seemed to when it came to the mines, but I can say that I can appreciate certainly where mines would be useful I think mines were wonderful for defensive sections of the campaign. Being able to basically set up an Alamo, and take out a couple of xenos. I also used mines a lot when fighting the queen because I let her come to me. But I didn't spend that much time putting mines on Hive entrances.

It reminds me of the old Swat games. You had a less funded Criminal (Labor) pool and then the State funded (Capital) Swat pool. The swat had much better weapons and the Criminals had to scavenge what they could. This is approached a similar way. The Capital definitely had better weapons than my team did, which is why I was so excited to grab their gear lol.

You're not wrong there. I think the end of my second play I realized how tight inventory management can be. I do have more than I did starting out, however, there is an air of "Resident Evil" about it, as far as inventory goes. You really need to open/use slots with a purpose. You can't necessarily horde.

Truer words have never been spoken LOL With the larger bases that are coming in this next update, the 380 is really going to shine along with its 120 cousin

Yeah, I think the only problem with spreading out is that I would then be pitting a weak weapon against a more powerful weapon. I played around with spreading out the first time and I just got picked off one by one. The submachine guns that my four people have were no match at a distance for the rifles that the enemy had. So on this particular recording I tried to lump everyone up into a protective squad where I could support them using OverWatch. And then while OverWatch was set, the teams could then bound and engage. There's definitely going to be a learning curve to this game. Because of its realness, it is not like XCOM. This game is a lot less forgiving. But LOL it's all a learning experience LOL

@@20MG I see. I will try to not die myself tomorrow while trying it out. Thanks for reminding me about this game and the clues. I was very intrigued by the trailer few weeks ago. Game looks pretty good, and I like the retro style.

@@20MG Oh, no demo available :( I thought the demo is on steam

For real though LOL. I was pretty bad at it. It doesn't play like your traditional turn-based tactical games. The labor don't have as many resources as capital. So you are taking people who are scraping by against people who have ultimately any resource available. I've had a lot on my plate but I need to jump in and play one of the capital missions as well.

That's sad.... ....I guess they pulled it? Just checked myself and I was prompted with the, " you no longer have access to this game" off the 'play' button I guess it must have just been available for the 2 weeks that steam was running the tacticon That's disappointing. :-(

Dude, it's an absolute blast! Check it out

I do mention that game in this video. I'd love more like it.

It does feel that way. More real time than turn based. I wish there was a way to select every unit at once for a movement. But, overall, it feels really good.

Ha!! Yeah I was.... bewildered. Since the cook told me they'd feed me. SURELY this is MY burger. Lol.

it would be interesting to add a sort of, gravity element. Be able to jump high, break gravity and then land to flank enemies. I'm working on other missions for this demo. So far though, it's a tough game.

@@20MG Gravity in Kerbal Space Program works; walking on Kerbin is entirely different from walking on the Mun. They really put a lot of effort into that.

I guess their into-da-future gear is heavy while the overall game theme is light🤣

I'd love to have played that earlier copy. Truthfully, this little frigate was fun to use. I'm interested to see how indepth command gets with the bigger ships. Lots more to juggle.

@@20MG I found it much more fun than the frigate game play, but it's good to have a progression. I hope as the game progresses, having different tactics for a frigate vs battlecruiser emerge.

It's a good time, definitely. I like that, you basically control how tough your base is, with how it's built. I love the art style. It's minimal but colorful, in a dark world. I like the way it's structured.

I'm familiar with Between the Stars. I can see the similarities. The ship you fly really reminds me of the Hammerhead from Rebel Galaxy.

Lol. I was just having fun with it. I think the game has a lot of promise though. I look forward to seeing the types of ships that you get. I think it captures a genre that isn't really supported by any game currently. And I think it's going to be popular for that reason alone.

That's unfortunate. There are still some buried glitches for a few users out there. A great game, lost to some game breaking bugs. What I've never understood on games is how, two identical systems, running the same game, can have different problems.

@@20MG Always wondered about that myself. I guess pure random chance is a factor.

I thoroughly enjoyed this title. Had a blast with it. But I'll be honest. It wasn't until I was 1/3 of the way through the game I realized "shit...this is metal gear solid with guns....". There is NO such thing called "taking the fight to the Xeno's" in Aliens Dark Descent lmao.

@@20MG I'll be damned, so Aliens Dark Decent is a brutal game.

We didn't hear a lot about the title while it was in development. I choose to hope and believe that they're hard at work on another title. Even if it goes down as unsuccessful financially, this was a great proof of concept for a limited forces style game.

I've heard of some users replacing both arms and legs lol. Straight up cyborgs at that point lol.

You can also, manually adjust if you want. You can hard burn, flip and then hard burn to stop within meters of the intended target. I like the "automatic" fashion of it, currently. I'm going to follow this closely because it feels a lot like Battlestar Galactica. I love this game premise.

I love Helldivers. I still love Aliens though. This game scratches an itch that Helldivers doesn't. Squad tactics. I mean, both GREAT games, in my opinion.

He is a FANTASTIC dude. I have done my best to stay in contact with him. He's one content creator I can't wait to grow alongside of.

@@20MG just remember If you ain’t first you’re last! 😂

Aww thanks bro I appreciate it alot.....Shake..... and...... Bake whoop whoop, much love bro :)

@@20MG Thank you bro it means a lot to me, I appreciate it alot, much love. Teamwork makes the dream work whoop whoop :)

@@Sarcastic_Mage omg lol bro your too funny, love it :)

Not to say they wouldn't be that ambiguous, but I imagine they'd just say "Xeno" to identify. It's tricky because you would want to be specific, but the time it would take to properly identify could be critically wasted time.

@@20MG In my opinion, more games need to address the problem of detecting and identifying potential targets, and more to the point, setting things up to go horribly wrong with a misidentification. Imagine if the player had to click on a target before your squad opens fire, and the "Xeno" turns into "seven-year old girl."

I simply love that there are companies out there that see what a great game Battletech is/was, and they seem interested in picking up that mantle.

the Knight was part of the Super Citizen edition that was released.

Lol. TAis so good when you need it.

I'm ECSTATIC to have you! I think a real world military would handle this situation a lot more different LOL

You would be correct. I had this video for the demo. Played about a week and a half ago. And this is just where it fell in my staging. There is a prologue that's out, free to play right now. I will be jumping into that here soon

There's something very comfortably nostalgic about the art style and I love it There is a prologue available as well that I'm going to post. But it looks really good

I'm aware of that. It is my first look at the game. I am not alluding to, nor anywhere in the video, did I address that I was given preferential treatment above anybody else in the viewing of this. Even though it's just the demo and not any kind of a beta test, pre-beta games don't really allow for content creation due to the volatile nature of the playable state of the game. I understand that your comment is semantics, but I would say that I'm not the only content creator that labels a "first look" video in this way. Plenty of other channels release "first look" videos long after beta testers have had their go at the title.

Nevertheless, I refuse to be lumped into some sort of bullshit, clickbait, category. So based on your feedback and comment, I did go ahead and adjust the title to more clearly reflect that it is my channel's first look, and not an overall first look provided to me by the company. I will always aim to be better than the competition, and based on the passion behind your comment, I felt it was best to clear up the title directly.

I mean ok. Chill no offence intended

No no. I don't take it any sort of way, but your comment isn't off base. I don't want to give off the wrong impression with any of my videos.

I thought you'd be excited lol

@@20MG :)

No, you're good. It does say that. All I can say in my defense is that, I get so excited jumping into a title, sometimes I find myself NOT reading the fine print.

It's a game changer

That's a LOT of time, and a great tip too. Who doesn't like to pretend their Superman on occasion.

@@20MG also, if you want to know when the next guy is coming, take a body part of the last enemy you killed with you, when it disappears it means the body has despawned and was replaced by a new enemy

Yeah, thanks for the feedback. These physics based games always give me trouble. Just not my niche. Even Exanima, I just grapple with the mouse/keyboard movements.

Gotcha lol. Using the Poo.

@@20MG cheers mate

It's definitely caught my interest. I like when companies can release a good physics based game.

Probably not a known title so it's not being searched for.

sandy

sadly i meant

Yes!!! It's perfect!! Lmao

I think they did a great job actually creating tension. I made this short as a sort of joke regarding, what we seem to expect out of Aliens games. I think we can view them more as run and gun shooters than horror/thrillers. Dark Descent did a great job with the audio and ambiance of the Aliens universe. Best Aliens game in a decade.

Don't get me wrong, even pre-buff, I did still like the Dom. I tried to label the pro/cons of each of the weapons and not just say why it was the "meta". That punisher shotty though, is pretty amazing. I do also like the Lib/Pen since they added full-auto.

Well it was just supposed to be a funny video about the experience. I think we all ran to this game. Looking for a hardcore action-packed, run and gun, take the fight to the aliens type game. And it's really not. You have to be a lot more calculated and direct in the decisions that you make. Aliens dark descent is the best aliens game in a decade

@@20MG It might be, but i don't care for the top-down look of Diablo looking games.

Yeah I mean that's totally your jam. I wasn't sure I guess from your comment whether you were just upset at what the difficulty level might be? At least you've done your research. I saw many, many Reddit threads where people were upset buying into the game that it wasn't a first-person shooter.

I should. I'm playing pretty aggressively

Right? I have all this close combat and not a single sniper or DM. That has got to change lol. Rookie move.

@@20MG it's unfortunate and very typical for this kind of CRPG that you can lock yourself out of content and/or mess up your combat success with early decisions. There are a bunch of build templates out there for optimal characters but it feels so rules-lawyery and meta that you have to go to a seperate medium to "properly play" the game. I get that inXile was going for that unforgiving old-school "scrub out till you get it" kind of difficulty, but you do have quite some time investment to restart if you have to, not like a rogue-like where death and restart is quick and built into the game mechanics.
