No of course not it's just, have you ever heard the tale of Moviebob the slob?

I hate that I know who this is

Well this news will probably be of interest to about 5 people here, but for those of you who are interested then on 16th of October Bandai released Gundam UC Engage, a mobile gacha game on IOS and Android. The game is based on the famous Mobile Suit Gundam franchise and takes place acros various era´s of original Gundam continuity (Universal Century, short for "UC"). Now the game mostly plays like your standard mobile game, meaning that the battles are automated with minimal player input. The only thing that you as a player get to decide is on leveling your mechas and pilots so they would stand a chance on beating each mission. The game has a lengthy tutorial, which explains nearly everything so you do not need to worry. And then there are of course the gacha mechanics which are used to get new pilots and mechas. Now due to me getting the game early I managed to get a lot of in game currency which allowed me to build some decently sized roster, but I do not know if this will still apply for later players. Also I did notice some bugs in the game, one that even got me softlocked but I managed to fix that by reinstaling my game. So far I found the game to be quite fun, it´s incredibly cool seeing your favorite Mobile Suits kick ass on battlefield and the menu heavy gameplay just triggers my autism in the good way but this is mostly coming from me being a big fan of Gundam franchise and so for those who are not much familiar with the Gundam franchise the game might not have much to offer. Still if you are looking for some nice, easy game that you can just pick and play then give it a shot (as long as you do not sell your arm and leg for virtual currency). Of course if you are suffering from some kind of gambling addiction I´d suggest you stay away!

Rudolph... forgive me

Oh thank God, this game definetely needs more time in the oven. I hope the devs will be able to deliver on their promise

Yeah I miss that even in movies, where in 80's and 90's you had a strong scores (some even orchestral like Jaws and Star Wars) before it all degenerated into orchestral slop in 00's onwards. That said there are still amazing soundtracks still being made, just not in the same quantity.

Ok, that is a solid theory, but then the release date (unless changed) is still concerning

None of us are after the demo :P. But this is less if a rush and more of a concern if the devs are even CAPABLE of meeting the basic expectations and deliver at least a competent game then the disaster shown in the demo.

You don't just polish something that is so fundamentaly broken in just a short time, this game would require at least a year of fine tuning

Dude, they want to release it this year, why shouldn't we be woried?

Huge mistake for them, good thing for us. I´ve been wondering, ever since seeing the demo, what could go so wrong? Then again wasn´t 3D Realms owned by Embracer group, that investor film which just had a huge layoff. Couldn´t that be the cause for the troubled development? We´ve already seen this thing happening to the Kotor remake and that debacle with Kotor 2 DLC, so I think this is a much wider problem. Edit: Ok, just gave a quick check on Wikipedia and 3D Realms is indeed listed as subsidiary of Embracer Group. Definetly explains the curent shitshow, because the company is apparently in proces of restructuring focusing on: "cost savings, capital allocation, efficiency, and consolidation, which will include staff layoffs, studio closures or divestments, and game project cancellations or suspensions with immediate implementation into phases until March 2024." Looks realy bad to be Ion Fury fan right now :(

Looks interesting, what sourceports are supported?

Hmm, reminds me of this video:

What the hell is malic acid? Sounds like some deteregent.

What´s your PC build and on what settings did you play the game on? My PC is from 2015 but I did get some uprgrades mainly Nvidia GTX 1080, better RAM (16GB probably) and SSD, though I doubt that would be enough to start the game.
