Played this and I'm quite impressed. Reminds me of SW Battlefront II.. lock on feature is interesting.. kind of rigged.

It seems to be a more relaxed FPS, but the ability to purchase and build turrets etc., makes things different. Armor is reminiscent of Halo 3 as well

Wow you're right. 5 minutes and counting on starting the installer.

I signed up and got a key, but now when I click on the download link I was emailed it takes me to the "Enlist Now" screen to sign up all over again. How can I download it without having to sign up again?

is everyone signing up on fileplanet? I did it from the official website because fileplanet said I wasn't in the US or Canada. How come you guys are getting your keys so quickly? I haven't got one yet :( just a boring email.

edit, pants, looking on the official forum and it says the EU beta hasn't started yet, ffs why do the US always get in on stuff, when the UK & Europe yet bug*er all?

I thought that was it but when I click the download button it takes me to the Enlist Now screen. :(

I went through the "enlisting" again and it just gave me the same key so I'm now in line to download.

Seems like an interesting game but I personally can not use the artillery loadout (more specifically the massive gun) effectively. 3 attempts to use it, all 3 ended in my computer restarting (not freezing or bluescreening, instant off then back on) the second I right click to scope with it. I can fire it normally, I can play for hours without any problems, but the second I scope with the artillery gun my computer is rebooting. No idea what could possibly cause it, highest temp in my computer is my GPU memory which is at 70C, core is at 66C, CPU is at only 45C max. Doubt its a power issue, 650w PSU and using no more than 500 under full load (thats 100% CPU and 100% GPU, which the game doesnt run at). I can play everything but the artillery gun without a problem for hours on end but the second I try to scope with it its reboot time. :(

mwpeck, I suggest you post a bug report about that on the Section 8 forums someplace.

As for the game, it's MUCH better since the patch. Wow, amazing what a little patch can do huh? The weapons handle and feel way way better, the overall game is just smoother and a better experience.

this game just puts you straight into the action, no intro whatsoever.

I'm assuming that it must take some getting used to. but its alot of stuff on the HUD

Well I'm sure when the game hits retail there will be a tutorial of some sort, especially if it has a single-player component (will it?). But yeah, you get used to it.

If you have any questions, just ask :)

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
