Indeed, it’s huge and this is why were going towards a Cyberpunk 2077 and Weyland-Yutani future. At least as long money and power runs.

I would really prefer a Star Trek one but I think our dear Gene was quite optimistic in the fact human nature would change after an age of endless wars (I know Star Trek needed a world war 3 for the age of peace, science and exploration to exist but let’s hope we won’t nuke ourselves for that to happen).

I’m not a dev but does Swift will restrict it to Apple platforms since it is Apple language?

I went with Trade Rep and they are serious. Their app still needs few things but otherwise well made.

I think everyone is pissed of Orban being a whiny b**** but no one wants to move strongly. EU seems to respect a step by step process for reasons. If we had room, let’s just break into Hungary and take out Orban out of his seat, bring some lubricant, he’s stuck in it. Then let’s roll for new elections and call it a day.

But that would mean nations of the EU are letting UE take a part of their sovereignty.

I wouldn’t trust China. More than likely trying to serve its interests seeing Russia is going down like an airliner with no more engines.

China also has no interests in an Unified Europe. It would undermine its efforts to place its pawns like they are doing with car manufacturers or that private police force in Hungary.

We cannot kick them but could EU not create a special status for countries that deviate from the norm and democracy?

• Veto? Gone
• Money? On hold
• Schengen? Closed
• SEPA? Oopsie, doopsie it is in maintenance but just for you
• Etc…

I’m all to keep countries free to vote and make a choice if your candidate is just pro-russian, corrupted, a felon in an election it is now put on hold and you need to change your way fast otherwise it is not gonna end well for you.

Edit: Wording and clarification

Is it an endangered species too now with downloads?

It is not

A video game. A science fiction game set in a post apocalyptic world.

Yeah, it frightens me too. I hope Embark will work on some mechanic to avoid being a literal “cowboy on maps”. I already had a glimpse of this during play test.

Since most weapons are generating noise, shooting could raise your threat level and machines would investigate. So it is better to lay low during a run or if you aim for the Big League (i.e: a bison, big robot on 3 or 4 legs, 3 meters tall or Rocketeer, a flying death machine with…rockets), make it swift. In and out quick to get your reward and avoid getting it stolen.

You also have limited resources, bullets, bandages are not common so fighting is consuming even with melee. Players also had to plan their skirmishes to avoid machines or engage a full team of 3 if they were solo. So it plays heavily on scouting and recon.

Personally, I am a defensive player with a strong scavenger side and preference for stealth. I won’t engage fights first but if I stumble on dead raiders, I call it a day, avoid area and go elsewhere.

Communication wheel is also a good mechanic. Embark did good by adding a “Don’t shoot, I’m friend” button and “Let’s share our findings”. Sure it is a double edged sword, you can lie and backstab people but in the end, our “Human side should prevail”. Meaning higher stakes for those being sociopaths.

I had short skirmishes being solved with vocal too. It helps a lot. Once in a bunker, players noticed us and started to shoot. We ended fight without causalities with voice after they mistook us for a killing party they had met earlier. We both teamed up, 6 players was awesome.

Hello there, I’m the mod of ARC Raiders community. I also play a tremendous time on THE FINALS (mostly Heavy) if you want to coop, I’m up to it. Living in EU.

I’m feeling obliged to upvote and comment the cuteness of this little creature.

I miss it too and it’s been only 6 months or so. It feel like this game was quite unique to me despite the genre already being used. Embark really cooks hard and well.

Salut, merci bien je vais faire ça.

:D

I had luck and got one of few keys available during the playtest of October and boy oh boy it was amazing for an Alpha!

I was aware devs still had a long road to do on some parts and mechanics but the game was stable on my end, a BP to test was present, you had stunning graphics and more.

Honestly, it frightened me as well at first but once you’re in it you realize players are sometimes quite nice if you engage conversation. I used mic a lot during last playtest in October 2024 because it builds bridges better than without and even if I’m not a pro PvPvE player, I like to have another layer of threat aside machines. It forces you to sneak, watch your surroundings and most importantly, listen. Sounds play a huge part in this game. You need to keep cool, evaluate threats and know you might not be able to get everything on a run.

Nope.

I tried to announce the creation of the community. It didn’t exist here.

Embark Studios

While being owned by Nexon they are Swedish and honestly their games are blowing my mind.

Look at THE FINALS and ARC Raiders.
