Mamoulian War

Chip: Third Stream. Wow, thank you humanoid. I can already see the piles of cash being unloaded out of my new Bugatti Chiron parked in front of my new apartment in Monaco!

Well, that's how I have started to go with sales, and carefully choosing the games as well, but the backlog is still growing and growing So, that is the reason, why I am happy, that I am leaving tomorrow for vaccation, so that I will not be tempted :D

Finally caved in and bought Dead State: Reanimated. I have pretty damn long backlog, but yeah, I always wanted to play this one \o/

Life is full of sad stories

Noooooooo!

Aaaaand, Homeworld Remastered Collection up on GOG :D https://www.gog.com/news/release_homeworld_remastered_collection

Finally!!! Final Fantasy XII - Zodiac Job System coming to the west as Final Fantasy XII - Zodiac Age on PS4!!! Now I wish someone would make Vagrant Story for PS4 (remaster not remake) as well http://www.siliconera.com/2016/06/06/final-fantasy-xii-zodiac-age-announced-playstation-4/

While its kinda true, I must say that I ejoyed these few years I was involved. If you can overcome constant overtimes and bad management decision its pretty cool Well, that's actually, why I completely left programming 10 years ago, and don't plan come back ever. I loved to code, but the money were in the end not worth the time, which I spent at work and completely neglected my social life :-/

Just successfully turned France into Holy Roman Empire and with it, I have acquired almost half of the map thanks to expansion of my vassals :D It was very long way to get the Throne, I had to fight a lot of wars with former HRE members to get first voted as an Emperor and then pass all of the needed reports. I will have to recruit more and more armies now, because, I do not have any defense in Asia at the moment

I know about that, but not planning to hack my PS3 anytime soon ( I just wish, they would go for the fullfledged translation. If they remade ToSymphonia, there is still hope, that they might one day remake it for PS4 as well, well see if my dreams will be fulfilled )

I wish, they would offer it for PS3/4 as well. And Tales of Vesperia, too (

Hard Reset finally on GOG. The Redux version up for preorder \o/

Interesting, that you do not complain aboit GFX like you did with Doom 2016 :-P Anyway, Doom is for me still pinacle of Sci-fi FPS and not much have catched the atmosphere as good as they did. The level design and music were just amazing and made the game even more adrenaline. My favourite gameplay was my challenge on Ultraviolence and saving only at the start of the each level. Finished all 3 episodes that way :-D Haven't played the 4th episode of Ultimate Doom though. Edit: Though my favourite FPS up to this day is Hexen 1.

No, I don't believe it was out. It isn't easy to change during development, but it's been done. It's hard to say because we don't have a definitive date for this project's beginning afaik. I know Star Citizen has done it (they've also been converting their version of CryEngine to entirely 64bit), but that's a huge difference in resources for Obsidian compared to Cloud Imperium. Duke Nukem Forever changed engines like what, 4 or 5 times? And did it help the game in the end? I do not think so.

Well Star Citizen is a Behemoth, for a smaller scale studio, changing engine in middle of developement is very expensive idea. Duke Nukem Forever and Final Fantasy XV are good enough examples for anyone to think really hard, if engine switch is a viable option for them.

Torchlight II finaly on GOG

Unfortunatelly I do not have that much patience nowadays :-D

For me, the best game was Demon's Souls, I actually prefer idea of closed locations with Nexus over openworldesness of DS1. And I got probably burned out, after playing it for more than 100 hours, so when I got to Capra Demon in DS1 with my Pyromancer, I got literally gangbanged by his dogs, more than 20 times, before I was able to act, that I have just put the game on shelf for a while, and went to other JRPGs and Gran Turismo :-D But if nothing good comes out before PS4K release, I will probably give the game second chance again, because everything else before Capra made me love this game ) I have Bloodborne and DS2 for PS4 already, but still no PS4 at home. To big backlog to jump on PS4 wagon up until now. But the PS4K is very tempting :-D

Well, there might be possibility, the more you pay, the more expensive individual surprises you get bundled together.

Well, the reviewer should have at least little bit of skill and knowledge of the gameplay for the game, which he is playing, else the review might be heavily biased on his incapability of having the advertised immersion out of the game. On the other side, reviewers sucking at games explains, why call of duties and similar applications are getting 9/10 :D

Continuing in Europa Universalis 3 France playthrough. Man, yesterday was the day, when **** hit the fan and spread over all your room an face. First my 18 years old heir, decided to forcibly claim the throne. I had to execute him, because of his ****ty stats, compared with current ruler, but I found out, he was the only heir to the country. That says a lot, why he was so spoiled Then instead of new heir being born, I found one in the forest, and decided to raise him as my own. That mean +2 to rebellions in all of my provinces. Well no worries, I am at stability 3, what could happen As soon as I said that to myself, I got Comet sighted! Random Event - stability +2, few months later I got few more Random events, where the most positive effect to my realm was the hit to stability. OK. I have ended with -2 and telling myself, what worse could happen. Didn't take to long to find that out My king has died, and the heir was at the age of 3. And because, he was found in the woods, the legitimacy of the Regent Council was at 20, I got automatically hit with another -1 to stability and that took me automatically over the infamy limit, which promptly made popup about 20 event Rebellion hightening events in various provinces. And because I have spent my last diplomat, right before my king died, I was unable to make new Royal Marriages, so my legitimacy was dropping because of my infamy, with crazy speed. And that in the end made spawn like 50 rebel troops over the next 5 years all over my country, which I had to fight against, most of them incited by espionage. AAAAAARRRRRGGHHH! The RNG god really hates me!!! I am just happy, that when I was for short time with infamy at 25 out of 24, that the only country, which declared war on me, was Mali... I have gone for white peace right away, because all of my troops, were dying last few years while trying to suppress the rebels... The only positive thing which happened to me yesterday, that right before my last King Awesome (with 7/9/8 stats) died, I have inherited the throne of Bohemia, the country of the former, because their ruler died as well, but without an heir. At the start of the game I have decided to join HRE as well, just to know what that game mechanics is about, and now, I have in between the electorate 3 vassals and 1 country in personal union. The only thing which hinder me to become the HRE Emperor, is my infamy... But slowly working on getting it down, veeeeery slowly, because I had 4 Unlawful territories, which I got through Diplomatic Annexations :D We'll see how it goes.

Crash Bandicoot 2 and 3 are best Naughty Dog's games, without question :-P And are amongs the best games ever as well!!!

Well, that's YOUR oppinion ;-)

Dunno, if you have seen it yet, because I posted it during weekend and it got buried in the thread. So just reporting you, that it is happening every time I do that (

More like Mass Effect: Kill 20 rats and bring me their pelts :-P If we get lucky, they'll be at least some kind of mutated rats.
