Jagged Alliance finally got a developer worthy to wear that heavy crown. The devs have really kept the spirit of JA in the new game and it calls out loud to the fans when we play.
Yeah, absolutely. There are still some edges which will need to be smoothed out and I am very much awaiting whatever they want to do to put an additional challenge in the gar, but it's certainly the best JA since SirTech worked on it :)
I was really skeptical but yea it’s really good only thing I don’t like so far is the reliance on looting and not having an in game weapons/ammo/gear website I got a load of money but I’m still scrounging for ammo because gunpowder is rare. It feels like crafting ammo takes way too long also.
@@walmartian422I personally even prefer it, that you can't just buy anything you want. That said the Shops which are in the game, dont feel integrated well. And yeah, tons of money. But that might also be different if you restart a new campaign. Crafting ammo on the other hand...that just doesnt feel right
Thank you so much for this! We could just read the patch notes, and watch the long streams, but appreciate you taking the time to make this tldr version for us! I'm loving what I'm hearing about the dev's plans for nurturing this game going forward, and it sounds like there's going to probably be a lot of great modded content coming in over the coming months also. Great stuff.
I appreciate the content :) I have been searching for a complex game to sink my teeth into and found this but I hate going in completely blind. Your tutorials on it have been a huge mental help and I am now looking forward to firing the game up. Keep up the good work.
What does this actually mean? Anyone can download and play without buying? Or what purpose does this have? Is the idea to enable full conversion style mods or something?
@@samueldowney2806 No, the purpose of this, is that modders know how the internal systems work and can build evnen more tailored mods to these internal mechanics.
thanks for summary, good stuff as always, I would also add fix to some story missions, in particular noticeable with the Corazon Bunker mission. Previously all baddies used to bunch up in main room waiting to be naded, now they stay back and waiting for you to visit their rooms. Also I got gassed later in that mission, dont recall that ever happening before. I done this mission 5 times so far and only seen improvements in last run after patch but I could be lucky.
Ah, nice. Yeah, but also had to draw a line at some point and so I decided to also keep another quest fix out of this video. With these I would kinda assume automatically that they get fixed with each patch.
Huh? More insights on the modding software? Let's see.. Alos, wait a minute, here... No matter how deep into hits I choose to look, I can't find Deus Ex (2000) in your background videogame wall of fame. Please show it to me. Maybe it's hiding behind Deadly Shadow or something. Or maybe behind Might & Magic's famous feudal blaster gameplay. EDIT : MAD TV!!! You madlad, you! I played that game years before it got to inspire Maxis's Sim Ant. You're a connoisseur, obviously. Therefore, where is Deus Ex?
Haha, yeah. I actually do own Deus Ex and its covered up in that shot. If you look in the Center At Shadowcaster and Daggerfall - Deus Ex is actually on the other side of that shelf, together with System Shock :D While Mad TV is quite old, it's not that much older than Sim Ant (which I also got, but thats also not visible in the video). But I also guess Mad TV was a rather niche German thing (though there is an english version). I mean they didnt even bother to get the rights for all the Movie Names :D Most of my collection can be seen here: th-cam.com/video/3ZFp8YOwrso/w-d-xo.html I am mostly collecting games I played back in the 90s. Though I didn't own many Big Boxes back then. So I purchased most of them during the last couple of years (luckily before the prices exploded recently).
@@KordanorsGamingLair Shadowcaster... Meaning Ultima also's hiding somewhere not to far. Weez are bros, brother, don't you worry about that. Have that channel rise up there, beyond the ones speaking in german, I mean to say. FOr I can't compete with Goethe version Jagged Alliance. Also, I feel like you have reach with the dev team, and I don't often have time to inform Haemimont about 'bugs' (airport gaming, basically) I get to run into. So yeah, let me report to you then. I've been listening to Buns explaining Grunty what Sprengstoffe means, the other day. I feel like there's an overlook at hand, here or something. Maybe you could mention it in case you get to reach haemimont about the game feels. Wishing you the best Ko. Also your smile is killer on these thumbnails. Jagged alliance knows best about it, and I can recognize bro fans when I get to see them. As for Mad TV, I can still remember the soundtrack and I know you do too. That's where it's at. And yeah, MadTV pretty much inspired what Maxis achieved next, Will Wright be damned. I also get to learn from you MadTV is a german game. I remember playing Darklands at the same time I got to play this. And also King's Quest. But that's a whole odder kind of story...
@@KordanorsGamingLair " I mean they didnt even bother to get the rights for all the Movie Names" That's what I adored about this game (wordplay on real life movies) back then was the cowboys era, as far as the gaming industry is now concerned. I can still remember about 'bobbits' also in Ultima 1 to 3 (ha, ha), just like you I'm sure.
@@messire9837 Tbh I never played Ultima 7 which I think is considered the Masterpiece of the Series, but I did play U8 and U9 ans well as UO, which had been my first MMO. So I also only own these games. For U7 the issue is also the price these days, so I am not hunting for it. I would like to have Ultima Underworld 1/2 in my collection though. Missing these. ^^ Regarding Grunty: Yeah, maybe they could have made Grunty read what's on there. I didnt check, but I guess Thor doesn't know either (Grunty is a weirdo in JA3 btw, feel better represented by Thor even though he is from Berlin). Well, maybe Thor just gets it due to his high wisdom. In the German version of the game they changed what is written there by the way. There it reads "Trinitrotoluol", and you might know that this is TNT. Clever localization. But that also means that Grunty being able to read that would then have other implications in this version. Either way: I saw this mentioned on Discord already, but generally I would recommend to report bugs via the ingame option, which I use as well.

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I am thrilled to see their roadmap ^^

Oh, thanks a lot! Glad I could help! I think after this patch and the balancing changes its a great time to start with the game :)
its great that they are listening
Yeah, definitely. Also a roadmap has been announced, Especially looking for the Improvements to ballistics and interface.
the single fact, they are going to release source code is huge. I wish they were more developers like them
Yeah...that was quite a surprise. ^^

Wow that’s great. If the devs don’t start releasing more weapons and mercs then we can be sure that modders will. I also really want a store website.

Badass update. Legendary changes.
Well, not quite legendary yet, but I hope it gets there! :D
The weapon shipment is savescummable to get the item you want, just save before opening the box. You can get a G36 or AA12 early that way.
Ah, alright. Yeah, most containers have random loot, so thats not too surprising. Maybe this should be pre-determined.

Wow, now compare those devs to how eg EA is treating their playerbase
Haha, never really followed an EA game. But yeah, you can see that the guys are Heamimont are not just in it for the money :D
