Worms Reloaded: a lot of fun, but buggy as all fuck

It's Worms.

It's on Steam.

You can preorder it now and get it early and with extra stuff for eighteen bucks.

If that isn't all you need to know, then you a chump.


Extra info for chumps:

Worms is a two-dimensional turn-based physics-oriented annelid warfare simulator. You have a small (in more ways than one) army of worms and you fight each other with everything from shotguns to exploding sheep to The Holy Hand Grenade until only one (or occasionally none) of you has any worms left alive. The whole thing is very cartoony and explodey and is just generally a whole lot of fun. This is the first new 2D Worms game to hit the PC in like nine fucking years. It's fully integrated with Steam, so there's achievements and stuff.

This hot shit drops on the 26th, so buy it already, you assholes.

    Banana Bombs remain a mystery to me

    because I've never been able to use them consistently

    I either nail the shot and wreck shit

    or I manage to blow myself up and do more damage to my own worms when the dust has settled

    I remember I was playing this with one of my ex boyfriends back when I was dating him, and he always beat me. When I finally won a game I had to cheer, after losing so many times I just couldn't not cheer.

    He turns off the game console and all the joy is sapped out of everything, forever.

    Didn't date him that long afterwards, but I can't for the life of me know why I even put up with that.

    I would buy this game if I had a job though. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't buy anymore games until after I start working again.

    when you played with 3 or more players it devolves into a much faster game of risk

    where alliances are built and then lied about and then shattered

    and you wonder if your worm taking collateral damage from your ally's bomb was indeed accidental or intentional

    man

    my sister and I threw so many hissy fits over this game back in the day

    That was the best part of this game

    everyone would try and convince my much younger brother that he should dynamite someone else

    "Remember when kenneth shot you off the bridge before? He totally deserves it!"
    "No way, he's just saying that cause he's winning! You don't want him to win, do you?"

    I've never played Worms but I've been dying to ever since watching Freelance Astronauts game recordings. Though there seem to be a million people going "Oh my god 20 dollars for a game worse than Armageddon I will never pay that." but I know it's not easy to get working on newer computers and I'm not interested in trying to convince all my friends to cast voodoo on theirs just to get it running when this is available.

    So I'm getting this and hopefully enough people won't be like that so I can play with them. Joined the group.

    Well I dunno. From what I've seen people saying, Armageddon has been patched and stuff by people other than the creators which seem to make it better now, and this is closer to the unpatched or something? I could be wrong. A lot of people are talking about not buying it on principle because they don't want to pay 20 dollars for the exact same game, etc.

    But I've never paid for any of them so if I'm going to, I'd rather buy the one I know is going to work and has Steam integration and everything.
