I will probably pick up Frostpunk first, although I really want to play both.

Frozenpunk looks awesome. I'm going to start playing that. I've never heard of it, but I'm watching a play through and it's in my wheelhouse.

Battletech hurt me ;_;

I can't deal with some of the pre-PS1 design choices. I'm sure there's greatness underneath but the game is tedious af to play. There was some thread on era about how if games need to be fun or the game medium needs to move past that. I think BT is a good example for that question.

Now give some patches or fan-mods and it'll be fine, just like how Fallout 3 was shit on its own but once the modding came in to fix issues it became pretty playable.

These too are next on my list and I’m trying to weigh which will age better.

You can always try the 'demo'

My afternoon suddenly became less busy. Installing Frostpunk now.

Edit: You can use the Celsius scale. Purchase justified!

Frostpunk is awesome.

20% of my population is in palliative care and there is no food. Time to rethink and start over.

Rufus · « **Reply #12 on:** May 24, 2018, 03:52:17 PM »

That's 20% of mystery meat right there. Problem solved.

Played for 4 hours last night only to get exiled.

Frostpunk looked good, but Steam reviews say the execution is weird. You build a city a few times for each couple hour scenario, and there’s not that many of them. No endless mode or way to just build a city w/o worrying about completeing a goal, which is really strange for the genre.

I think the issue is that for a city builder there seems to be essentially one efficient path to "winning".
An endless mode would help, but then it would likely get boring real quick. given that it's extremely limited in terms of options.

So, I ended up getting Frostpunk and...

ONE DAY

I WAS ONE DAY FROM THE END OF THE STORM

AND THEY KICKED ME OUT

ARGH I AM SO MAD

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #16 on:** June 02, 2018, 10:39:02 PM »

Went back to my last save [right before I got kicked out] and took some drastic measures to push my city into fanaticism to stave off the end. Shut down all non-essentially production, put my one automaton onto coal gathering, and just tried to hold on. I ended up losing about 70% of my city's population [and killed a few more for being heretics], but I made it.

Well, glad I waited on playing Battletech. Looks like it'll get the patch or fanmods needed to make it a much more enjoyable game pretty soon.
