Mamoulian War

I had exactly the same feelings, when I started Dark Souls for the first time

I started yesterday to play Tales of Graces f on my PS3 on moderate difficulty. Launched New Game Plus and decided to try to get some more Trophies. It seems to me the game is little bit easier than I remember :-P

Glad to hear it. To have enough time for a proper release is one of the most rare things man can have in this field. I can't wait for the final release and I hope so much for a non Steam-only PC release. Hope I will see it one day :-P

That's pretty easy hurdle to overcome :-P

I would bet that the marketing of this game is fully under the power of Paizo.

When you are offline, you can't buy their "insurance" subscription :-P

Or stop buying games from publishers which are pulling this stunts. It's actually easier, the older you get. I am buying nowadays only indie and japanese games, and I still have such a big backlog, that I don't need to think about Wallet Raider or similar games :-P

Thank you for your answer, Now it makes all sense. I have found few hours ago an article, which says, that you can "Unlock" Catalunya, when you own some/all of the provinces with Catalan culture as France for example, and let them revolt. And that you never get the country, when you own the provinces as Aragon or later Spain. In that case, the chance for spawning Catalan or Aragon rebels should be 50/50 %. cheers.

As I know some you are loving EU games, I would like to ask you for an advice. It's just my crazy curiosity, becasue I can't find any mentions about it anywhere. Is there any chance how to play a game as a country, which does not have a core province in a game during the whole period of Grand Campaign? As an example is Catalunya, which should be formable, but I have not found a way how to form it without existing core provinces. I have found some mentions about National Rebels but how could I help them to rise in Aragon or Castille? Thanks!

Have I seen 2016 in the end of the trailer???? *drools*

Hooray, I have today finished my first Paradox Game. Austria has become the new ruler of the world It was real fun, almost for the whole 68 hours, which I have spent playing it! I found few glitches and issues especially with AI through the game, but they were so minor, that they did not hinder my enjoyment of the game in the slightest. More about the finish of my game is available here: https://sites.google.com/site/mamoulianfh/letsplay/europa-universalis-page7 Now, I will have to take some break from strategy games, and probably finish Van Helsing or start some of my JRPGs, which I still haven't started on my PS3. We'll see.

Europa Universalis III Complete and additional DLC Collection now on GOG!!! Well, that means, I am now 8.98 EUR lighter

FIRST!!! Yesterday, I was finally able to continue with my Europa Universalis walkthrough. I have planned to have just a very short session, maybe hour or two, but the AI, choose differently, and I have ended with 8 hours session because I had to fight in 4 different wars in little bit more than 15 years of in-game time O.o You can find more about it in 11th part of my "Let's play EU" here: https://sites.google.com/site/mamoulianfh/letsplay/europa-universalis-page6 Thank you for reading

Gaming OCD almost ruined AssCreed: Black Flag for me. I thoroughly liked that game for about 40 hours, but my desire to collect every one of the useless knickknacks combined with Ubisoft's raging boner for making players climb towers got me heavily burnt out on the game. I wound up taking a 2-3 week break then powered through the final part. Well, I am also positive on gaming OCD... That's why I still play the DAMNED!!! Star Ocean 4. It's soon freaking 5 years when I started to play the game, and I still feel deep burn in my soul, that it is not finished until I get the damn Platinum Trophy... Thankfully the hardest and the most time consuming part is already behind me, but the Chaos Difficulty, which still awaits me, is pretty hard as well :-/

Just now, I have gained the hardest (or more like the most time consuming) trophy in a game. After attending 3000th battle with Faize, I have finally gained the Ultimate Battler trophy in Star Ocean The Last Hope International. I had to acquire 900 battle throphies. It took me pretty long time! At the moment 725 hours played and I am at 91% of all throphies. Now I will need to do one more playthrough of the hardest difficulty to finally get the Platinum Trophy.

Yes it was!

I had to take a break from my EU1 Austria campaign because of busy work schedule. Right after I get back into normal, I have decided to buy Van Helsing I and II on GOG and been playing little bit of that once in a while. I started to play with Thaumaturge and right on the Hardest difficulty. It can be insane sometimes, but so far after more than 30 hours of playing, I have died around 30-35 times only. I am enjoying it much more than Torchlight which was for me pretty boring ( I have also dusted off my PS3 and started to attend Gran Turismo 6 online championships again. I am enjoying it a lot. Mostly the GT300 Championship and DTM Championship, because at these two, I don't suck as much as in GT500, and getting good points every race. In GT500 I am so bad, that I managed to get my first point in 13th race of the Championships, and it looks like it will stay that way a little bit longer, because next track is Brands Hatch and I am sooooo bad at this track... And today I have finished the 899th out of 900 Battle Trophies in Star Ocean 4 :-D To kill 55 Grigori with Faize. I managed to kill 4 of them in the main game, so I have to kill 51 in Post game. The only way how to respawn them, was to kill the second hardest boss in the fame over and over. Had to kill him 15 times :-/ It took me maybe 20-25 hours, but now only last few hundred battles to get the last 3000 battles trophy and then I will be just one playthrough away from Platinum Trophy... But before that playthrough I will have to finish the Austria Campaign and finish my Let's Play of EU so I can start playing EU2 and finish Lords of Xulima and Xenonauts as well :-D

I was in a social guild which was raiding once in a while, the LFG and LFR tools destroyed the social aspect of the whole game for most of the people playing. Tanks got their groups after this feature in 15 seconds, healers in 2 minutes, DPS in 20-30 minutes... In the end everyone quit the game because it brought up drama, that tanks are always locked out of heroics and raids :-/

Well both of you are right about WoW. I was raidinig in vanilla and TBC a lot, I have never finished Naxxramas, but I have finished Sunwell. But, when I have started WoTLK, our casual guild, was able to breeze through Naxxramas in two days... With green/blue gear. And this was the time, where the game became so easy for me, that I started to quit and resubscribe on a quarterly basis, and I was still able to keep track with SP and MMO content easily. Both raiding and non-raiding content with addition of LFR feature completely destroyed the social aspect of the guild, because no one needed guild for anything anymore and doing content with randoms became so boring that I ended with Buying Cataclysm without ever activatiing the registration key... After that I never resubscribed again. All friends left the game, because of the same reasons. Social interactions was what everyone liked about the game the most... And it was gone...

I am speechless...

Ok, purchased, we'll see how I will like the game O.o At least now I have someone to blame, if I will not like it It will take some time, before I download 10GB of data

Nintendo has new president http://www.siliconera.com/2015/09/14/tatsumi-kimishima-announced-as-nintendos-new-president/

The incredible Adventures of Van Helsing I and II Yes or No? Haven't played any quality Diablo clone for ages, and right now it's on sale... The setting for me is really appealing, but Path of Exile and Torchlight was kind of boring to me Haven't played and not planning to play Diablo III, because of the online only ridiculousness... GOG also confirmed that Final Cut will be for free for all owners of all three games >link<, so getting it now for me is really really tempting...

Remember the 'Wipe Your OS' bug that it came as a free add-on? Luckily no. What kind of bug that was?
