Total Tank Generals - Preview - Prerelease Demo Gameplay
My friend recently reccomended this game. It's on sale on steam right now, might pick it up.
Thanks for this review, I searched some other ones and this as I think is short and full, as player of all UFO-s (starting on Amiga back then) and then X-COMs I'm definitely giving a shot, especially as now is a sale on Steam - and the video is almost 10 months old, so maybe there are little improvements since then ;)
Game footage starts at: 18:40 and actual gameplay at about 34:07 holy moly that's a lot of skippable bla bla..
We do this as a "show" format, so yea... about a half hour to dive into it sounds about right... ;)
Yeah, thank you for the nice comments about this really fun game :-)
Hey thanks for trying out our game ! We really appreciate the nice comments and description :)
You are so very much welcome!
this review told me zero I didnt know already as a player of Xeno1
This looks nice and chill!
I can attest to it that it is.
Time to place those hexagonal tiles and make the best city possible!
You go ahead sir!
Fun game, comes highly recommended.
Great interview Drew! So proud of you!!
Love the addition of the background image~
Thank you for the interview, gonna check the game out very soon!
Was good talk, thank you Drew for coming on!
Had a blast talking with you, looking forward to next time!!
I can see you getting better and better with each interview!
@@drewstillwell Thanks for doing this with US Drew! Excellent chat!
Thank you for the review.
What is with the background noise? That makes this too hard to listen too.
There is some music in the background, some ambient stuff... Is that what you are talking about?
@@StrategyInformer-sjgold yeah, ambient music is not helpful when trying to get a vocal interview.
@@LindsayMarkus Thanks for the feedback I do not think it is in the later interviews but @theorcosaurus would know for sure as he edits them down.
I highly recommend everyone to play it with CRT mode.
This looks like they made it easier than the original XCOM UFO defense from the 90s...
Been really looking forward to this after playing the demo a year or so ago. Glad to see it's improved quite a bit in that time! Going to have to pick it up and play it this weekend -- hopefully we get more thunderstorms here for extra ambiance (and a good extra reason to stay in and nerd out!)
I agree, 30 hours in and it is a top RPG at a very, very low price too.
I'm having a blast playing this one. Really good game.
Like you got heavy C64 vibes from that colour pallet. Only way this could be more perfect is if there was a physical release that came in a little cardboard box on a tape shaped USB (and I didn't realise how much I want that till I said it aloud)
When did Werner Herzog start doing PC game reviews?
He gotta make money somehow.
I have severe ADHD and usually I struggle to push through RPGs at a consistent pace, which I mention because it's important context for what I'm gonna say about this game: I bought and downloaded it yesterday afternoon and proceeded to play it non-stop for literally twelve consecutive hours. I know that's probably not the most healthy thing to do but I just couldn't put it down, I just wanted to see more and more of the beautiful art and the hauntingly beautiful, deeply unsettling writing. I know opinions on what makes a great RPG vary quite a lot and that this is subjective, but this is the best new RPG I've played in years, and in spite of the fact that my favorite games tend to be action games this game immediately jumped to the top of my list and is in competition with Mech Engineer for my favorite of the year so far and most likely my pick for my personal game of the year, though obviously we'll have to see how the rest of the year's releases play out. This will be a difficult one to top, though, and I'm really hoping we can get some expansions or something from the developer because even though I'm not even close to finishing the game I already know I want more.
Please turn up the music.
We will. Next review will only consist of game footage and loud as fuck Appalachian Anarchy music.
@@thestrategyinformer AS IT SHOULD!
@@thestrategyinformer There goes the family raiting...
well i am waiting for the game to come out !!!
Shouldn’t be too long anymore. Or it might be even out already.
I really, really, really enjoyed playing this one. A lot.
Of course you did!
Alright, time to pick this one up at some point. Looks like a really strong contender this year to me.
You better.
Orco feeding other's people podcasts and not his own, smh...
Alain is such cool guest. Glad I had him on again.
The X-Division mod for Xenonauts 1 was the most tactical fun I've had since the original X-COM of the 90's. If this one gets mods of that caliber, its gonna be the GOAT.
A sequel to one of my favorite PC games. Steroid is one of the classic characters. I like the game a lot but IMO its not nearly as good as Jagged Alliance 2. The number of available mercs is absurdly low, the lowest in the series outside the abomination known as Rage I think. Also the weapon selection is horrible better then the first games but worse then the others. I also find the over reliance of World War I and II era weapons in the early phases annoying especially for characters who had more modern weapons in earlier games annoying. And I hate Doublebarrel Break Action Shotguns in turn based games like this. I don't like them in shooters but they are far worse here. Made worse by the fact they are the only Shotguns I could find early in the game. The reason I experimented with one was really wanting my custom merc to have a Shotgun but having to reload after ever other shot until I found an Auto-5 was awful. I also find it very odd there are no Pump Action Shotguns in the base game just Break Actions, Semiautos, and Fullautos. What I would love if they make more Jagged Alliance games is them to give the player some money at the beginning to buy weapons and gear for their custom merc instead of having the custom merc's gear selected by the game.
IMHO: It is never going to be as good as Jagged Alliance 2... Even if it *was* as good, you can never go back home, nostalgia is a hell of a drug. The best we could have hoped for was a solid game in the series and I think in some ways they delivered here. The one big thing is the mission editor. I think that alone makes this worth a second look. The question is will the community take to it? Thats always the question right? But if the tools are solid there will be some cool missions available. I do however agree with the points you made and the WW1 era weapons seemed odd. But again at least its more content that could be used in custom stuff that would make more sense?? I don't know.. Its a thumbs up from me, with a get it on sale for best value note! ;) I did though ask my contact over at THQ and unfortunately there is no DLC planned at this stage of things. The modding tools was the plan currently for the long tail sales of the game so to speak. It made somewhere between 9-13m on steam so... maybe there is hope?
this looks really cool 👍
Its not horrible, its just not the best single player experience. If you can get a group of folks to play online its great. But I can't get 4 people to line up a schedule these days...
looks awesome i just dont want to spend 40 bucks on it
I have seen some decent sales on it... In both Feb and March it was 30% off 28$ which is a good discount. I really don't consider it a sale unless its 30%... Get that 10% BS out of my face ;)
yeah i was eye balling it last week but the sale wasnt good enough, grabbed divinity and xcom @@StrategyInformer-sjgold
Ah yes, me, the tactical genius. Good game though. It demands your undivided attention and that you react fast.
Looks good but its hard to justify buying it instead of playing Xcom 2 once again, especially with all the DLCs, MODS etc.
The view cant be zoomed in in this game, and the text is too small.
Are you running in 1080p or something else?
@@StrategyInformer-sjgold I tried 720p but still too small for my enjoyment I think
Im ok with it myself but I know how that is, there should be text accessablity settings on everything!@@RedFoxRoaming
Hey folks, I had mentioned some podcasts on AI that I am super proud of: The first is where we discuss more of a technical side of AI and where the failings of the current strategy genre AI: ua-cam.com/video/np7jbbM2CWM/v-deo.htmlsi=n8KV72yeskAz1XzC The second is where we discuss the factors of Humanizing the AI not to kick the players ass all the time but to delight the player by giving them a challenge and not a power fantasy ua-cam.com/video/spZx0q69zto/v-deo.htmlsi=SwtnuUqkxR2OEFFr Thanks to those that were in the channel, looking forward to next week!
I'm actually really enjoying it, alot of subtle politics
There are some very interesting mechanics that I would like to see worked on. I think there is an absolutely different review if you isolate the game on its own, but how can you isolate the game from the studio/publisher when the publisher did a rug pull on an early access game right before this. So I get it that there is a huge disconnect with orco's position and such. That being said I hope that it generates enough cash that the studio continues to work/update it as its solid. I have A LOT to say about the game, we have an interview with the studio head of League of Geeks coming. Me and Orco will be asking the tough questions. ;)
For those seeking a timestamp, stream starts at 2:26!
Thank you sir!
@@StrategyInformer-sjgold I gotchu brotha
Sorry I could not be there 5 hour internet outage at the tower, and I’m not happy about it!
No baked pasta with Turkish pepperonis at 4am. No internet, is there even anything left where you reside?
Have you tried Dune: Spice Wars? its expecting a big update in 6 days. I really enjoy the game and am hyped to see what the update is.
I know for a fact that our reviewer Orco has it in his library and never touched it. I’ll ask him to do so.
I have it in my library as well... have to look at it....
Just wanted to clarify that I think Orco is looking at this in a bigger picture between what happened with League Of Geeks and the overall presentation of the product. The gameplay is really good, and yes that kind of gets overshadowed by the ending and I certainly dont see people looking at this in the larger picture. But there is the impression that the game is getting new scenarios and content and such and the team apparently has some sort of roadmap. But this should have been an EA release but its a 40$ 1.0... I dont know... Who wants to do some multiplayer or do i need to go to @argathaTrapdor chuch to get players?
Orco is a potato. Never let him review again. 🤣🤣🤣
Huh... Not sure people should stream this game on my Christian Discord server...
You absolutely should
Do it! they might join you for a game :)
There are events about you fraternizing with Angels@@Corusame
Yes and you get excommunicated from hell for it. Lol.
Welp. I hope I could communicate my thoughts properly...
We will see if a mad mob with pitchforks will be after you and downvote this video into oblivion.
Interesting review. We'll see how it turns out. Might be better than you make it out again.
We will see what the larger community says.
Throughout the video, the reviewer does refer to Soluim Inferum as Soluim Inferno, he apologizes for being a massive potato.
Reviewer being cringe again!
Can’t help there.
Potato Potato Potato!
Nice job Orco! Thank you for the overview. The game is special. Also what's up with those hands you were getting. You need to go no Monica and win some money! You got some luck
It’s more luck than brains all the time with this green menace.
I always knew Orco had an addiction to card games.
Me too! I used to play semi pro poker before the online ban in the US. Check raising fish off the river!!
Is there something you DIDN’T do?!
Y'all got some more of that Balatro?!
No, but I got some crack, would you like some?
You had enough Balatro for tonight champ, go home.
Where's that second video??
Matty parted ways with us a while ago and never completed the project unfortunately. That being said Second Front content is indeed something I would like to continue with so lets see what can be done.
