Wow. This is excellent considering Syndicate should probably be ranked competitively among the top 50 games ever created.

The subject line seems to imply that Syndicate wasn't done right the first time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Satelllite Reigns looks pretty sweet, though. Interesting interview with one of the creators here: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/07/02...ulation-legacy/ |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I think it's more that it wasn't done right the most recent time; with the FPS. By all accounts it was a reasonably good game (the trailers certainly looked pretty slick, at least), it just wasn't what folks wanted from the franchise. |

From what I heard, it wasn't even that terrible...it just wasn't, well, Syndicate. No squad-based stuff, no tactical side of things, etc. Kind of like the Shadowrun X-Box game just wasn't what people wanted.
But anyways, Satellite Reign promises to be pretty cool, and I'm a fan of their fiction guy ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) so I hope folks check it out. |

I had a lot of fun with Syndicate when I was a kid. When I played it later, I realized it had very little challenge. Once you understood the base tactics, only a handful of missions (like the last one) would offer a challenge.
Syndicate Wars is generally less well appreciated, but it's actually the better tactical game of the two. It's very challenging and most missions require a different approach from the previous one. |

FWIW the new xbox syndicate game had good gameplay, good story and very good atmosphere. It was just SHORT as all fuck. I blew through it in a week, in about 7 or 8 hours I think. Like, wtf? Definately worth the rental though. Well, its probably in your local store's discount bin for 5$ anyway.

Syndicate blew my mind ! on my Amiga I would lose days playing it ... the atmosphere was jsut .. wow and as X-com EU .. I hindered myself to add challenge .. full playthrough with only the original team .. or frag me ... full playthrough with only persuad-a-tron ! .... that device .. man ... that device !! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm having a full on man cave nostalgia moment here just thinking about all the good stuff I loved in that game mission completion via vehicular manslaughter .... now there was a challenge |

One week left and still 80,000 dollars away from the goal. That's going to be tough.

only 3K Missing.
If only 30 people each gave about 100 bucks, it'd be done . . |
