Oh man, the Stalker mod looks utterly amazing. There are more videos on the ModDB page, but as far as I can tell it has stalled a bit but not been cancelled. “Curently 3d modeller with knowledge of animation work is needed”, so if anyone reading this fits the bill, DO IT!

How can I be certain that when I buy Men of War that money is not going to fund slave trade and drug dealers in the Ukraine bringing that stuff over here (I’ll leave it up to you to decide where here is, here is there, where you are! Fear!) What if I spend all this money buying games from Ukraine devs and then Russia takes over again and all that money goes to buying a giant tank that ends up crushing me when Russia invades (here) Geeze I think I’ve been playing to many alternate reality games . (World in Conflict, Red Alert, Stalker, Fallout 3 ((yah those were Chinese but sitll commies!)))

I picked up Men of War at launch because a) it sounded awesome (except for the actual sound, which is hilariously bad) and b) we need to support this kind of game.

However I’m currently up to my eyeballs in RTS’s and still haven’t got a chance to play Men of War for more than a few minutes.

Still though, I’m going to make time to try the Stalker Mod cause looking at that video their effort at Agroprom is staggeringly good!

I’ll buy MoW now. Thanks for helping me avoid burning holes in my pockets.

I see the words “campaign generator” and take out my wallet.

I’m not supporting this behaviour. But go in to the average player and ask them to provide 2 features of an rpg, 80% they’ll say xp and inventory. The other 20% will say role and playing, hit those players.

Really? CLEARLY I was referring to JRPGs…. nevermind that RPGs were invented by the west. There’s no character progression or infact characters at all, I’d argue thats the definition of a RPG. Men of War has named RTS units that can hold stuff in their pockets. I win.

To the japanese+japanophile if you get xp its an rpg. Nothing else bares consideration. So saying inventory constitutes rpg is hardly contraversal.

This is almost as exciting as the news that the Cosby Show is getting a XXX remake.

The dynamic campaign generator doesn’t seem to work to well for me, for some reason the handy unit list ‘ribbon’ on the left side of the screen has gone MIA.

And the enemy AI is, how you say, special ed.

And the arbitrary low unit cap makes the big beautiful maps seem kind of lifeless.

It’s a great game though.

Wait, games with inventory features are now classified as RPGs??

That Agroprom video is excellent. A spot-on recreation of that area in Stalker. Even mimics the little cutscene you get when you first go there in the game.

I will get around to buying Men of War at some point in the next few months. Definitely.

That STALKER mod could even lean heavily on the RPG side of Men of War. Impressive !
