What are you Playing Now? - What doesn't kill you, gives you XP
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.

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.

Yeah, them. I could build at least one old faith sidhe army that then did not need cavalry.

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.

There was danger of those, so we did our best to avert them.

Finished Star Trek Resurgence. I really enjoyed it. It is an about 10 hours long episode of proper Star Trek in which you get to do all the important stuff that make Star Trek Star Trek. I told engineering to "Reverse the hull polarity!" I stabilized the pattern buffer and beamed people safely to where they needed to go. I said "Energize!" I said "Make way!" (though I had other choices as well, naturally) I ejected the warp core with a manual override. And I argued with the rest of the crew about the prime directive. Definitely worth it.

I feel uncomfortable being part of an away team as the only person with red in their uniform This looks like a Doctor Who crossover I try to be as spoiler free as possible, but for the hardcore trekies, be spoilered with this screenshot:

a bit expensive. Same price as chaos dwarves.

Deep Sky Derelicts is quite fun. I played it a long while ago. Everyone ignored the screenshots... I found that after a while it felt more like a lite RPG than a rogue like, being long enough to not feel like a game where you were supposed to have died countless times already to create replayability.

Apparently I have played 5 hours of Star Trek. Having replayed a few scenes because of 1 bug (I could have ignored), not being a good shot, and wanting to check if I really had succeeded clicking W in time, my play time may be closer to 4,5 hours. I am not a big fan of Carter, as he has a goofy smile. It feels as if someone's cat jumped onto the desk while they were adjusting the mouth slider. The story is good Star Trek fun though. The mini games are often more there to have you interact and not just watch an animated movie. There seem to be some key choices that matter though. Looking forward to playing more tomorrow.

Shoot yourself using Epic download speed, by the time the bullet reaches your leg, you'll be long gone!

That's why you get games on Epic. Download speed always sucks, so you can't tell the difference.

Completed the main story in Saints Row. Did not expect the plot twist. But in the end, best friends squad won. Overall a positive experience.

Some missions may be timed. (When you search for some hermit/sage/whatever in the magic forest for example) Check mission descriptions for hints of urgency. You unlock more knights as you progress and can get some very unique choices based on your alignment. So if you aren't certain you want to keep a knight, don't invest too much in them if you are just going to fire them later. For example if you plan an old faith playthrough, that rightful Christian you can get early on may not be someone you want. On the other way, you have ways of affecting a knight's alignment (for example marrying them off to the right woman). There is no divorce, but there are a lot of ladies in waiting, so don't marry off your knights without getting a good benefit from it. And obviously, choose at least one axis on the alignment chart and stick to it.

Are you playing the first game? It is arguably the best in the series, but at some point you may want to drop the difficulty significantly. Just as your weapons pass through ethereal opponents, so does the fun factor That said, I really enjoyed the first game, even though for one reason or another I never finished it. The second game takes a lot of what makes the first game fun and removes that. It had a fun stand alone prologue where you play the last Romans left behind, but it doesn't affect the main campaign, which is a shame. The third game is turn based tactical RPG battles with a party of four, so may be most to your liking. It isn't bad. I forgot to play the dlc. It is on my to do list.

But they may have fixed that with the last week of EA.

The canyons east of Santo Ilesso in Saints Row look like somewhere hurlshot would go on family vacation. So I never steal RVs in the game, just in case it is his. Anyone else play Saints Row and encounter this issue?

You know there is a police officer somewhere thinking "I can get suspects beaten up without physically touching them, by leaving them in the interrogation room and playing assassin's creed in the break room... badly?" So many applications in the torture business.

Did we talk about the Ubisoft haptic shirt that lets you feel it when you get gut punched in game?
