Is anyone playing this? It's early access on Steam and just came out today but I'm wondering whether or not I should buy in. My trepidation is due to the fact that these are the same guys that did Miner Wars 2081 which, from a cursory google search, had some... issues. http://www.spaceengineersgame.com/ That's the link for ya.

Man, I really have to get back to finishing this game. I put at least 20 hours into it last October (holy shit, I just realised how long ago that is now) but hen I believe XCOM came along and it dropped off my daily cycle. It was weird though because I really started to enjoy it. The first 3 - 5 hours I was struggling with the combat encounters (and I was playing on easy) but then I started to realise that potions mattered and I can't go in swords swinging and expect to win.

Man, why does this have to come out the day after I start Uni?

Ico, after just finishing Shadow of the Colossus. It's interesting to see the evolution of the mechanics for traversal from Ico to SotC, and I adore how companionship is a theme that is carried through both games, and done very well.

Oh no, the youtube video description has a link to the kickstarter page, and evidently the game was not funded. Damn shame, because it looks like a lot of fun. I hope he found some other way to fund it.

Man, this game has come along very nicely, it looks fantastic. And sweet jesus, that cover is glorious.

I NEED to see that lobby photo, so that I can prepare appropriately.

Ah, forgive me, I was trying to make a dumb joke. Some thing about half-lives... didn't really work out.

It's been two months since I've installed this game. I've played it for a total of 2 hours. (I also mean that in the best possible way.)

Yeah, it's little details like the static ropes on the ship during a storm that just take me out of it slightly. I do like how seamless the world appears to be, the load-free transition from boat to sea to land is quite cool.

This is horrible, goddamn. And just married too, that's so fucked.

There were a few references to characters and events from season 1. When playing Shel's story, they mention Vernon and the boat when they're deciding what to do with the blindfolded captive that tried to steal from Roman's group. The old lady, and the two other black guys are from the cancer survivor group in season 1. A slightly more morbid call back to the first season happens near the beginning of Russel's story. If you choose to hide on the side of the road, you end up face to face with the corpse of Carley/Doug depending on who you saved in the first season. That broke my heart. I really enjoyed this episode overall though, and I'd be happy to see these characters explored further in the second season.

Has anyone tried this mode in the new Beta? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bma6mWYsfDE#at=29 I seem to recall that mode being in ARMA 2 as well, I can't remember. Either way this looks pretty cool, I might try it out.

Oh shit, that's tomorrow (on PC). Well, I'm off to the supermarket to buy boxes and boxes of kleenex.

Is it out yet? I think it's been a whole lifetime since I last heard any official news about this game.
