Yes - but turn based movement is not a key factor. It's more permanent death and random levels and equipment/upgrade availability. Think of FTL - you don't really know what you're going to get in a new system, what will be dropped, what's available to be bought at any given store and when you die, the game is over. That's rogue-like.

Well I'd love it, thank you. I assume you know my steam id?

came to check on this.... my son got 70 something as wellAndy Dufresne said:Well, apparently the girl looked at the wrong column and I "only" got $72 for my bricked PS3. Still, for a machine that's not working I could do worse.The new system I got came with a 1 year subscription to PS+ or whatever it's called. That'll more than pay for the difference in cost I paid for the new unit.Sweet! Gamestop has a bump in trade in value for the next two weeks.They're going to give me $128 for my 7 year old, bricked PS3.Commiserate with me brothers....my launch model 60GB PS3 just got the Red Light Of Death.
This after I JUST bought and installed a new 750GB hard drive in it.
Fortunately, the disc that's stuck inside is the $3 used copy of GRAW:2 and not the Blu Ray of Gettysburg that I just watched the other day.
I already have BF3, Saints Row 3, Uncharted 3, Xcom, and a couple other games downloading as we speak. Pretty cool. And I'm amazed how much smaller the new units are - this one is about 1/3 the weight of my old one. Must have been all that backwards compatible hardware they packed into the old one.

Dang, even on easy FTL is hard. I barely unlocked the other design. Any tips? I fly straight through the first zone, but somewhere along the way, I end up getting my ### handed to me either by running out of rockets and not being able to take down their shields, or they transport like 4 bad guys onto my ship and pVVn me, even as I try to send them out the airlock.
Is each sector like a level? Should I try to clear a zone before continuing to get better gear? I figured I needed to bee-line it out of each one, and I just cannot get enough scrap that way to stay repaired/upgraded/reloaded.

When I get boarded, it's all over. The only way I know of winning that is to try to open the doors on them.

I have not even looked, but do you get new jump fuel each sector? I assumed that was it for the whole game.
Are sectors progressively harder?

Don't fly through the first couple of zones. You need every encounter early to get loot and develop your guys' skills. You want to stay left on the map just ahead of the swarm as long as possible hitting every system you can.
Tips: Make sure you have people at critical stations - pilot, shields, weapons, engine in that order.
When you are boarded, send everybody that will fit in the room. Don't go 1:1 unless you have rock dudes or mantis. Even then, gang up if you can. If you can only have 2 dudes in a room have your other guys just outside and swap them out when the first groups' health gets low. Run away and heal when you have to.
When fighting other ships, target shields first and get them out of commission and then focus on taking out weapons. You can sometimes do both at the same time with the right armament. Make sure your weapons are synced to fire at the same time. You don't want to fire something and then have a shield re-charge before the next weapon fires.

I think the looting and getting stuff is where I am not optimal. I always man in that order and try to gang fight. I always send weapons to shields first, then weapon systems. I will work on that. Thanks.

Also, actively manage your power. Cut your life support or first aid to get a little firepower during a battle and turn them back on when you need them.
Also, don't waste your missiles if you equip them. Use it to take out shields and then keep them from firing any more and just use your beams. Don't use them at all if your beams can take the ship down without their help or without you taking damage. Same goes for bombs

No, you loot fuel, buy it at a store, or through some of the random encounters. Yes, they get progressively harder.

Boarding really should not be the game breaker it is. If you get boarded anytime in the first few sectors by more than 1, maybe 2, you are screwed. No recovery there. I tried fighting it out the first few times, now I will just quit and start over. Dumb.

I've never had that many problems with boarding. Like the other stuff you need to actively manage it and duck your guys out of the room to go heal before they die. The only issue really comes up with the boarding drones and when your first aid station gets knocked out.

Try getting boarded by 2 Mantis. They ran around roughshod on my ship. The ran out of airlocked rooms, ganged up on my guys and it was dumb. This was the 2nd system in the 2nd sector. I have been boarded by 4 before. 1 person is bad enough when they run away from your guys, or follow the ones injured to the med station, beat him to death then beat down the med station.
Dude, clean out your inbox. Are you still looking to swap? If so, which system?If anybody with Last of Us wants to trade games, I'll pay both shippings

If you like mindless metroid-vania roguelike action its worth the $11.99.
I played it off an on for a week and unofficially done, NG++++.

I know it's worth it. I'm just holding out to see if it goes on a highlighted sale. If it doesn't, I'm still grabbing it.

Been hoping Far Cry 3 would drop in price below $24 but I don't think it's going to happen. It's weird but I think Steam may be doing too good of a job with the deals, after monitoring the summer sale I am suddenly not willing to spend more than $10 per game, and frankly buying anything over $5 is starting to feel like a stretch.

The thing about that price on Far Cry 3 is that it was around $15 on another site a week or two ago.

It's hard to explain. Basically, you captain a starship. You outfit it, get and train crew, and then have to work your way across the galaxy in jumps. Each jump might have an encounter where you fight another shop, etc. The challenge is to survive. At the end there is a multi stage boss fight with a mother ship to save the Federation.

Spartacus Legends is pretty cool for a free Xbox download.

After 400 wonderful hours playing Path of Exile on the PC, I am ready to jump back into the PS3 again.
I left off just having finished Mass Effect. I did not get anywhere near 100% trophies on it as I only had one play through but I think I might move on to Mass Effect 2 next.

It was announced today that EA Sports will continue with their college football franchise without the NCAA license. They extended their license with the CLC for another 3 years. With the CLC deal, they will still be able to use all teams, conferences and bowls. The NCAA license sounds like it was pretty worthless on its own, so there probably won't be a dip in sales.

Legit teams, but you can't use real names in a college football game anyway. So that part won't be any different. It'll just be numbers associated with the positions and randomly generated names (unless you go the extra mile to give all players real names yourself).

Shows how long its been since I've played an NCAA game, Sega Saturn I never missed you
. Thought for sure by now they had made some sort of agreement, but I suppose that would require them to actually pay the players.
