FM3 is done.
And I mean... done.
Not 100% but a lot of those skills have an activation/learn rate of obscene improbability.
Not worth doing.
I have more than the worthwile skills.
I stomped the holy befuck out of that game.
Ran into trouble in 2 spots in 60 missions.
TWO.
One was a protection mission where the weak underleveled NPC got rushed and murdered in a turn
the other was the very last mission
and I only -thought- I was in trouble. Outnumbered 9 to 4 very quickly became outnumbered 9 to 4 and only 3 of the badguys with arms and weapons.
When I was finished I looked through the library again
...
Same conclusions as before, I took another look at Ring Of Red (Another mech game) but, I really felt like I had already beat the pants off that game as well.
Find the formation/range sweetspot for that map... kill bitches, make money.
I guess it could be worse.
I could be locked in a cell in the dark, throwing a button at the walls and feeling around to find it.
A lot of promising followups successors and sequels are coming out in the next 6 months. I have empty pockets.
I'm leaning toward romming some old sidescrolling brawlers.
Man I still want an arcade cabinet around a PC with a full library.
I mean, once its set I can just back up the data and OS.. . . ...
I wonder if I can set up more than one controller on it... and... *mutters and trails off for a bit*
Kung fu heroes.
Man that game was the shiznite.
Still is.
I've got about 70 episodes of TNG left, no library card, and no job.
I might develop some kind of... summer cabin fever...
and have to invent some alternate and infinitely more entertaining reality where I eat pork buns and do kung fu kicks.
