Hey – since you’re into UFOs, have you seen this Roswell video?

After playing a while Extraterrestrials, all I can say is: get that Bman’s Mod. It adds bunch of essential functions and enhancements such as hotkeys, quicksave/load and faster animations. Notable differences to X-Com – Ufo Defense:
- Making money by manufacturing and selling stuff is no longer possible
- Much less inventory management (for example, there are no storage facilities in bases)
- Player gets to decide which stats to increase (soldiers) after combat as opposed to stats increase based on what you did during combat and how much.
- Hiring personnel works automatically, I haven’t figured out if player can affect the rate new soldiers arrive to the base. Building workshops and labs always give flat 10 scientists/engineers. Also player can’t seem to build labs or workshops anywhere else but the Main Base (your initial base).

I say it’s about high time someone recreates the original X-Com Ufo Defense with better graphics and whatnot features. This crap should’ve not been published. On the bright side, like someone said, UFO Extraterrestrials is HIGHLY moddable, possibly making up for its shortcomings.

Not to mention, JA2 v1.13 can be near-endlessly modified by editing a number of .ini and/or .xml files, both can be opened and edited with Notepad. So if you find something wrong or don’t like, you can change it. Just be careful if you decide to edit weapon damages as enemies use those same weapons too…

Well… I know tomorrow better how this plays out… I’m looking forward that mod which was mentioned too.

Meanwhile, this is for turn-based combat junkies:
Funny that Jagged Alliance 2 was mentioned… Great mofoing game. More so now. It’s source code was released after the company who made the game went out of business (ironic?). It’s been developed by fans ever since. With crapload of new weapons, features, bugfixes, improvements and some sector maps, JA2 v1.13 (as they now call it) brings modern turn-based combat, mercenary management and taking over a small country as close to realism as humanly possible. (Well… there’s always room for improvement). If you liked vanilla JA2, you will drool, laugh, jump up and down in excitement as you fight your way through Arulco in JA2 v1.13. Also check out a program called SVN Tortoise for frequent JA2 updates. Install your JA2, install v1.13 update and you’re good to go. I do recommend that SVN too, it’s optional however.

Additionally, JA2 project could probably use few more experienced and volunteering C++ coders last I heard. So check those forums for how to get involved if you’re a coder junkie.

Been playing this for a few weeks now. It’s basically X-COM with updated graphics. It’s pretty decent if you don’t feel like playing X-COM again and again.

Product, you can try Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics(which isn’t an rpg, but it’s still Fallout). Fallout 3 is coming soon from Bethesda.

Is this game like Fallout ?

Is there any modern PC game like Fallout ? Because that’s the best game ever made.
