I'm installing now and will hop on later tonight if anyone feels like playing and showing me the ropes.

I dunno...why do bands like Radiohead put their album on the internet where you can choose the price you pay for it? Because it builds publicity, and this is most likely a limited time only deal for it being free. Some people get it for free, enjoy it, and spread the word. Then due to positive word-of-mouth, others that missed out on the free deal will end up picking it up anyway.

Why make Flash games for free? Why not charge for RPGM games? Some of it is getting your name/name of your dev studio out there to build on name recognition down the line.

That's how I see it, anyway.

Caciss, I will also play with you whenever you want and do what you tell me to so you can have more fun. :3

Caciss · 07-20-2010, 08:49 PM

I like to boss you around!

Althought I'm looking for a team that's might want to take on the insane difficulty

Fun game.

My first play-through was on hard mode with Caciss and two rotating pubs. I thought hard might be too much for me but Caciss made a good enough leader that we beat it without too much trouble. Plus I did the same thing as when I was learning TF2 and just played medic and hid behind the experienced people.

There's a lot of variety in the character you use, but there seems to be some items that are necessities every level, which is a bit of a bummer. The learning curve seems a little steep, and I think first-time players will have a lot of trouble if they dont have an experienced player willing to keep them informed.

But it's enjoyable to play, certainly more so if you have some buddies to join you. I'll be putting more time into it for sure. And it's free, so you just can't beat that.

Insane would be a lot of fun if I could play with people who aren't retarded.

I'm not a retard!

But I haven't played this game yet, either. So give me some time to train in the mountains.

John Mora · 07-21-2010, 01:25 AM

I will still play the way you tell me to.

Caciss · 07-21-2010, 05:41 AM

Me and some bros I met playing swarm made it to the last mission on insane, and on one try the land gate had dropped and one of my team mates desperately tried to roll onto the place BUT NOPE DEAD.

the last mission is next to impossible.

I got it, it runs like absolute dirt. Don't expect to play this till i upgrade.

Dusk Raven · 07-31-2010, 01:51 AM

We've had it for some time, but I've never tried it - I've just been watching my brother play. I can try it out, maybe even play with anyone here if they'd like.

It'll just take, I dunno, getting my own Steam account. But I'm game.
