Guns of Icarus Online: Giant Steampunk Airship Battles - Games

[IMG]http://c557532.r32.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Guns-of-Icarus-Online.jpg[/IMG] Guns of Icarus Online is a game where you get in a giant steampunk airship and do battle. BUT IT'S MORE THAN THAT. It's the sequel to Guns of Icarus, a pretty bad and mostly boring generic-ass indie game. The catch in this one? [B]It's multiplayer[/B]. Think a better version of Air Buccaneers. Giant ships being piloted by one person with other people repairing things, firing the guns, etc. Here's a half hour look at it through the eyes of TotalBiscuit playing with two of the devs: [B] FP PLAYER LIST, BITCH [/B] [TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: left"] [TR] [TD][B]Facepunch Name[/B][/TD] [TD][B]Guns of Icarus Name[/B][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]venn177[/TD] [TD]venn[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]TrouserDemon[/TD] [TD]TrouserDemon[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Mombasa[/TD] [TD]Mombasa[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Echidna666[/TD] [TD]FireWalkWithMe[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]elite3444[/TD] [TD]Bjaark[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [B]PRICES, I GOTCHO PRICES:[/B] [B]$19.99[/B] for one copy, but [B]$32.99[/B] for the fourpack.

My friend bought the 4-pack for me and two others. It's awesome! Ingame is FireWalkWithMe

Yeah, same here. The problem is we all haven't been on yet, but I assume when you get a 4-man premade that all know their roles really well, shit goes crazy. [editline]29th October 2012[/editline] I'd like to do a FP player list, so go ahead and post your IGN PLEASE.

After watching TB's WTF, it looks fun but the shooting mechanic leaves much to be desired for me. It lacks any punch and it's pretty clunky, imo. Other than that, I love the art style and gameplay, with no clear indication if it's friend or foe and the clouds mechanic.

They're gonna be adding a ton of shit post-release, too. I really want to get a 4-man premade going, so if you guys want to do it with a Galleon, let's hit that shit up.

It seems like it will be a perfect game for tournaments. IGN: Bjaark

And it would have godtier LAN party support. [editline]30th October 2012[/editline] Also I think I should add a Skype column because Guns of Icarus doesn't have the best voice chat.

Are there actually people playing, cause I'd only ever find 1 or 2 people its why I stopped playing beta.

There's at least 300 people online at any given time right now. Servers are still a bit laggy from the stress of the release.

More like 50 people. The numbers have halved every day since release. It'll be a dead game by the end of the week, like most indie shit.

Sorry to bump this but its kind of picked up a little since its on sale for $5.00 on steam at the moment.

Add me to the list. Havent seen this post in awhile, but i'm prepared to play at this very moment! ;)

I stopped playing because of the horrible optimization, can't even look at a cloud on low without my framerate dropping into the 10's.

If this thread is gonna continue, probably best to remake the OP since Venn got banned. Plus, loads of new info has come out! But yeah, awesome game, name is Firazenics in case I see you guys around :v: In fact, I might see if I can make a new OP with the adventure kickstarter info too!

oh if you want to make the new thread go for it, i was going to but i'm short on time :P

Anybody up for playing this game? There's plenty of people playing right now, and we've already got a bit of crew going including two qualified captains.

Just bought it on Amazon, count me in.
