Ace of Spades (The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say) - The Bear and Badger

The Daddy

SAY HELLO TO THE CREATIVE SHOOTER. CREATE YOUR BATTLEGROUND, DESTROY IT, THEN CREATE IT AGAIN. IT'S CONSTRUCTION, COMBAT AND CREATIVITY.

IT'S LIKE WAR, ONLY BETTER.

Basically some cross between worms and minecraft, this sounds awesome:

Apparently this is out on steam very soon, though I think it's available free at the mo.Â Will check it out properly tomorrow.

That does look rather ....ace.

And now I hate myself.

Played the shitty original; was great. Can't wait for this.

n0face

I'm in.

Have played the original beta which is pretty rubbish, but does have a lot of potential.Â Rocket launchers and MG emplacements would be pretty cool.

Yeah, I remember seeing this, but it's not quite the same. Â It's basically Lego CoD with deformable terrain; not Minecraft with a PvP element. Â There's no base building, mining for resources, or all the stuff I think could add a frantic edge to a Minecraft PvP game.

Isn't that what that game described? Apart from the kit bit, but you'd assume mining then making a canon or something would be part of the plan. Fucker to balance.

Mod74

Noticed a couple of people playing this...any good?

@Rossi was kind enough to treat me to this.
Â Â Lots of potential; night and day compared to the alpha.Â

That said lag is an issue, regardless of server ping. Refreshing the server list is a bit hit and miss as well. To be fair I've only put about 15 minutes into it.Â

Still have high hopes.

GooberTheHat

Last played about 3 weeks ago. Has anything changed in that time?

Mod74

It's on Steam now, so I'm assuming it's a 'finished' product.

GooberTheHat

Thanks.Â I just took a look at the videos and it looks much improved.Â I might give it a go if a few on here recommend it.

i'm holding out for it appearing on the chrimbo steam sale...

~~Anyone fancy going twosies? You can't buy anything other than two copies.~~

Ignore me, I was thinking of Don't Starve

Just had my first proper game after endless connection issues.

TDM on Bran Castle. Great fun; assaulting the castle as blue with the greens spawning in the castle.

However; as fun as it was, if it had been any more laggy I'm not sure it would have been playable. Occasional timers popping up saying you'll be disconnected in X seconds due to connection problems although it never did. Maybe I chose a bad server.

It's a lot of fun.

This is in the Steam community vote for 50% off. So everyone exercise your democratic right.

Mod74

So this was selected for 50% off on Steam. But as of now it's only reduced for another 2hr45.

Â£3.49 for one copy or Â£10.49 for 4.

EvilRedEye

Are people getting this? Just watched the trailer and I'm quite tempted.

Mod74

I've just got a single copy. Thought about trying to arrange a four pack but time was ticking. Will ave a crack later when my headphones are charged.

EvilRedEye

Never mind, it's only a saving of 87p per person anyway.

Does Steam scan your hardware and tell you what games you can and can't play?

metagonzo

Don't think so. That said, if you can't run this then it's time for an upgrade.

Mod74

Had a quick couple of games...it certainly has promise.

Wasn't quite what I was expecting, and some controller support would be nice. ATM I'm not getting much sense of the build part, just the kill part. Need to play a few more.

(oh, and it crashed on exit hardlocking my system. Anyone else seen that?)

Howdy, Stranger!
