sburke Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I know what you mean. I already have my resignation letter prepared for the day that XCOM 2 releases.(hopefully Steve doesn't read this)but have you done the obligatory trashing of the as-yet-to-be-released product's lack of features on their own forum? No? What the heck are you waiting for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn2002 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Yep, I'll be streaming Final Blitzkrieg every Sunday till we release.Perhaps you can show us a blizzard and the Jagdpanzer IV series. O, and the Grille, would love to see that too. Did I ever mention I love that vehicle? Edited January 21, 2016 by Aragorn2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Placebo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Fallout 4 is a classic, I have high hopes for XCOM2 so add the battlepack into the mix - roll on Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleGuy Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Having lurked on these forums for over a year, marveling at the AARs and dreading that the reality of such of an in depth tactical game may completely overwhelm me, I've finally decided to give this series a crack with Final Blitzkrieg; is there a suggested retail price as yet?

Prepare to lose large chunks of any leisure time you may have ....If you haven't done so already, I'd recommend trying one of the demos (WW2 titles, rather than CMBS, if you're planning on CMFB ...). The demos aren't (AFAIK) at the very latest iteration of the game engine, but they will enable you to get used to the "mechanics" of the game, and explore some of the tactical nuances, before you launch into CMFB "for real".

Baneman Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The CMRT demo, is, as far as I know, based on the version 3.0 engine so that would be the closest to current and what CMFB will be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warts 'n' all Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I have to second Baneman's suggestion. The Red Thunder demo is definitely the one to try if you plan on getting a feel for Final Blitzkrieg before it's own demo becomes available. Not only does it use the v3 engine, but it also gives you the opportunity to learn how to use both Stugs and Panthers in it's two scenarios.

I agree with @Baneman and @Warts 'n' all that getting the CM Red Thunder demo will give you a head start on how the game mechanics work etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleGuy Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks guys, downloaded the CMRT Demo last night (Aus time). Once I nut out the performance issue I'll give it a crack (my PC is well above the recommended specs, so it's a case of trying some of the suggestions in the NVIDIA thread).
