Pictures of your games Part 4
My new Might & Magic X party: I went with an all-might party. No mercenary because, holy smokes that class sucks, they can't grandmaster any weapon, so I replaced the merc with another barbarian. Warrior difficulty, as usual. Having almost no magic whatsoever will definitely present challenges. Wish me luck!

Dragon Age: Inquisition
I take that you are implying some people actively want Dragon Age: Inquisition to fail? Undoubtedly the Shandenfreude Faction does indeed exist, though I wouldn't count myself among them. I will be thrilled if DA:I winds up being spectacularly good. I would much rather have a great game than whatever erection I could get from schadenfreude. I'm just not giving BioWare the benefit of the doubt.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
^ I wouldn't have expected every little decision to have an impact on the endings, like whether generic female crew member (Ashley) or generic male crew member (Kaidan) dies, or whether you choose Udina or Anderson, or whether you kill the terrorists or save the scientists, but I figured some of the major choices may be reflected in the endings. Did you cure the Genophage? Doesn't matter. Did the Gith make nice with the Quarians? Makes no difference. More importantly, they advertised the importance of the choices on the ending right up until launch, it was one of their major talking points and they went out of their way to stress it every time they pimped ME3 then delivered something completely different. BioWare flat out lied to their customers. Not to mention that the ending was complete and utter nonsense. "Hey, you sentient being always wind up making machines that will ultimately kill you, so to solve that problem I made these machines to kill you." That's like some **** straight out of a Douglas Adams book.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Hello chap, how's the weather? Now, let me introduce myself: I'm an emeny of man. The weather is fine. How is it being an agent of Satan? I bet your days are simply fascinating. Most fascinating indeed, my good sir. The latest developments in making teenage girls the largest consumer demographic has really produced excellent results. While i do appriciate the large surge of damned souls, or clients as we like call them here at the 'human decency regression'-department, i cannot help to worry about the rather homonegenous nature of the clientele. They all seem to be very fond of business venture called "Bioware", which is not bad in itself, but i am afraid that if this trend continues, we will not meet our diversity quota before Halloween. After all, we are all seriously committed to meet the standards of Hell having a multicultural environment according the last directive by management. You have get with the times, you know, and all that. Hail Satan, and Tallyhoo! I tip my hat to you, good sir. You have just won the internet.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
The 3 ending being basically identical but with a different color explosion in ME3 was quite pathetic, but that wasn't the worst part of it. What was the biggest kick to the balls was that the entire time during ME3's development, right up until just before launch, BioWare was touting how all the choices you made in ME1 and ME2 and during ME3 will have an impact on the trilogy's ending and you will get a "personalized" ending, then delivered the polar opposite of that by making all your choices, previous to choosing what color explosion you'd like to see, completely and utterly irrelevant. So you'll have to forgive me if I don't take BioWare's claims on the endings of DA:I at face value.

Humble Bundle Store Thread
The only one of those I have played is Planet Stronghold. It's a Ren'py game, so obviously a visual novel, but also an RPG. The combat is turn-based and menu driven, like old-school jRPGs. The combat is surprisingly decent given it came from a company that had previously only done visual novels. You get to make a few (very few) choices that have some impact on the game and you can choose to hook up with one of your party members (/looks in Bruce's direction), though sadly no nudie scene. It's not particularly good, but it's not awful either, it just kind of exists.

I'm thoroughly impressed by the Sixers' EPIC 26 game losing streak. They're scrapping with Milwaukee for that coveted bottom spot. The best part is that there's not even a surefire superstar in the coming draft. There's no LeBron or KD or CP3. The draft is deep and there's probably over a dozen quality starters, but most likely not a franchise player.

Early Access is a mixed bag. You have some games that are quite playable and well into the process and some, as you described, that are as alpha as alpha gets with nary a thing to do in them. This is the reason why I mostly stay away from them. I've gotten 2 early access games so far: Grim Dawn and Might & Magic X: Legacy. Grim Dawn is a game I've been following for years and supported long before their Kickstarter because I was such a huge fan of Titan Quest, so I got the access even before Early Access because of my pledge and I knew the game was in a decent state because I'm a regular on the Grim Dawn forums and had been seeing the progress closely. Might & Magic X I admittedly took a chance on because I couldn't help myself because OMG A NEW M&M GAME! I lucked out with that one since the Early Access was a decent chunk of fully playable goodness and the game turned out to be awesome when finished. So my experiences have been positive, but I'm still generally not going to buy Early Access games because I know stuff like what you described is lurking out there. Heck, even some games I have access to because of my pledge, like Divinity: Original Sin, I have not played because I simply would rather wait for the finished product.

Might & Magic X Teased by Ubisoft, To Be Revealed at PAX East
I'll be giving the new content a spin soon. I still keep going back and forth on what kind of gimmick to go with for my party. All might? All archer? Zero magic quad-barbarian (that party would have some serious problems with stats effects)?

What are you playing now
I played pretty much nothing all week. I had time, but no desire to play games until yesterday when I started up some Expeditions: Conquistador. I'm definitely liking the game so far. Since this is my first time with the game, I'm playing on normal difficulty and carefully selected my crew. I'm going as diplomatic as I can and will try to make nice with the natives, so I selected mostly open-minded individuals. If the game turns out as good throughout as it is so far then I will do another playthrough on a higher difficulty level in ironman mode and with a randomly selected crew for extra challenge. This coming weekend looks super dooper ****ty weather wise so I'll have plenty of time to play when not watching March Madness. I'll likely start up a new game of Might & Magic X: Legacy soon as the DLC is now out and since I have the deluxe edition I got it for free. I might do an all-might party with no spellcasters (no one focused on spellcasting, anyway). I have mulled taking that to the extreme and going quad-barbarian for absolutely no spellcasting ability whatsoever.

Yeah, I never read the comics. To be honest, I never knew there was a TMNT comic until you mentioned it just now. My introduction to TMNT was the cartoon in the late 80s. Sadly, the chances are probably pretty low that we'll get a Vanilla Ice rap in the new TMNT movie. Go ninja, go ninja, go!

My biggest problem with it is that, although I'm sure they'll throw in a few jokes, it look like this is going to be yet another Dark and Gritty™ reboot. TMNT isn't supposed to be Dark and Gritty™, it's supposed to be lighthearted and fun. Why must every single reboot these days, and lord knows we're getting more than our share of reboots, be Dark and Gritty™?
