Yeah, when I started watching archery videos before the lockdown fucked up my plans to join a club, his videos started popping up in my feed since archery and medieval enthusiasts overlap quite a bit. Smile

Always nice to see someone being enthusiastic without being a bit obnoxious (looking at you Shad).

Right when EG2 was announced I looked into Rebellion, and I was like "their CEO looks awfully familiar". Very Happy

Yes, I've been watching/following this channel for quite a while now. Always some interesting material there.

I think I also mentioned here earlier that I regard Jason to be very intelligent, and overall seems like a really nice chap. He's also a proper knight!

It really is beyond me why anyone would watch streams of a not-yet-released game, other than with the aim of ruining the fun for themselves.

Closest thing we get to a demo until ISODemo is available and some of us have bandwidth caps which sucks but it is what it is. And no, there are literally no other options here.

4 days.





The short "1 hour max" streams and utub previews showed what is basically the same game as the original with a significant facelift and some of the features expanded upon.

That's good.

But they were "1 hour max" streams and utub previews. That time limit is concerning. Whenever a company limits early glimpses at a game, they tend to be great at the start, but bland and boring later on. Hopefully it's a "Doom 2016" style exception.

Every game gets boring after a while. Don't expect miracles from this one, either, and you won't be disappointed.

If you think about it, the whole "base management simulator"-thing is ab ovo prone to becoming dull rather quickly.

Makes sense to only limit to 1 hour. These streamers would spoil the shit out of the game before it even came out heh.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

3,50€ in Uncle Pedro country for the standard version, or 5,25€ for the Deluxe. Might buy this one, really enjoyed the first one. Can always refund if it sucks Razz


Especially since the AR$ is in free fall for over a year now. Just added some funds and checked the exchange rate...

1 year ago, for 1 swiss franc, I got 67AR$

Now I get 97AR$ Wink

Def gonna buy and try.

Really tempted to refund it and just go with the isodemo instead. Maybe I'll run up to the 2 hour limit, the scene should do their thing by then.

Anyways, a little over 3 hours left.
