  1. Or Mordheim It has 500 screenshots on this forum already posted by me, so you won't have to take any
  2. I saw it in the newsletter, but I said "If Mamoulian War doesn't inform us, I don't click the Claim Button."
  3. As gameplay goes, Neocore did something unheard of for many early access Devs: listen to feedback. I strongly disliked early builds, but the release version I had more fun with than I expected. Played the game through once. I don't know if I'll return for a second play through, but I am not much interested in a Christian run and not at all interested in a tyrant run. My main problem is that the game has the biggest disconnect between writing and gameplay you ever encountered in gaming. The premise is that Mordred and King Arthur kill eachother, and when Arthur's body is sent to Avalon, something goes wrong and the dead can't rest. Nobody dies. The game has permadeath of your characters. Also, people get killed the all the time. For me this takes away some enjoyment. Other people won't care. I'd rate it somewhere between KA1 and 2. So with the BruceVC game scoring system that should work out at 65, with possibly higher for anyone who isn't bothered by that story problem. One of the good things is the many characters who can join you in Camelot.
  4. Knights Tale is a different genre. You run around with a party of 4 Knights and beat up undead, Picts and fomorii. Also undead Picts...
  5. So what is next? The KA1 DLC campaigns? The KA1 Fallen Champions spin off? Or King Arthur: Knight's Tale the turn based RPG?
  6. @Keyrock you should see boardgame geek. There are basically roaming boardgames hunting for games to downvote or upvote. "Rating this 10 to balance out the inevitable 1 review with intent to balance out 10s" Ran across an account who had rated 6000 games 1 out of 10
  7. I wonder if review bombing games that did a year long epic exclusive might be counter productive. So let's say I am a money person at a publisher and I see the game made X on epic and then I try sell it on Steam and get a lot less than X. Will I look at the negative reviews and say "ah, a crowd of people didn't like me selling on Epic, so I'll now only sell on Steam to make them happy and get more than the X I made on Epic from Steam" or will I say "Steam sales were disappointing. The platform is not performing anymore. Let's sell more on Epic" or will I say "Oi, Steam, get the reviews in check... Please"
  8. Saints Row is now on steam at a deep discount. Getting review bombed by the anti-epic and rightwing crowd. Even has reviews with the text: " Only bought it to reviewbomb and refund" I had forgotten what a cesspool the Steam community is.
  9. The old mmo thing has gone into single player. Honestly don't know how or even if I feel about it. On the one hand, not a fan of companies selling nothing. On the other, if my game purchase does not increase in price because someone else is willing to shoulder that cost so they can play a few days before me - I have other ways to pass the time those days.
  10. Will you continue your purchase pattern with 3er games or will you then proceed to 4s?
  11. And then you play the main game which completely ignores the prologue and has no connection to it whatsoever
  12. Completed Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood It was better than I expected. Combat against mooks is easy enough though you still have to use healing - but you are a werewolf killing machine and most opponents, even in large numbers, should have made smarter life choices than sign up with a job that would have them fight werewolves. The story is more "proper" werewold the apocalypse than a lot (most) of RPG campaigns I have heard about. You are constantly fighting a losing battle, even though you can squish your enemies skulls in your hands. It is bloody depressing. Thumbs up. They also did try to put variety in to the different parts of the game, so while you fight the usual corporate soldiers from start to finish, the in between fights feels more interesting. Huh, back when they advertised an action game with metal soundtrack, I thought "How can this be good WoD?" I was wrong. The game isn't great. But it actually works for the setting.
  13. I guess you could say: the Outer Worlds DLC is not the best choice. They are Spacer's Choice!
  14. We just hope you aren't a serial killer then. Because that could be read so the wrong way.
  15. Happy Malcadorday! And belated happy Sarexday!
  16. Dinoriders the game?
  17. That's what I am here for: teaching faery magic to the people
  18. Star Trek Resurgence, the negatives: 1) No skipping dialogue. This makes replaying to check out just some different choices potentially tedious. 2) single save slot for each playthrough (three save slots total for three play throughs) and no check points from which to start, means you have to play from the start, not skipping dialogues just to change one choice at the end. Which all leads to an uncertainty how different the outcome can actually be. 3) not enough end slide content. Of course if they follow up with a second game, exploring the consequences, I am up for that. 4) certain important choices are very contra the spirit of the federation or Star Trek in general. Saving or not saving sentient lifeforms is not a question for a federation captain in any of the series.
  19. Yeah, you need to take the Welsh out fast to secure your flank. I find that around this time you need three full armies with 2 knights in each. But that may just be personal play style.
  20. Yeah, them. I could build at least one old faith sidhe army that then did not need cavalry.
  21. Interesting. As old faith I use little if any cavalry. My knights are in heavy infantry units and use faery paths to travel through the otherworld and appear right in the middle of the enemy archers.
  22. There was danger of those, so we did our best to avert them.
