  1. Are people playing it. I was never able to join a game without crashing.
  2. The leveling ruined Witcher for me. It's when the leveling becomes part of the gameplay loop and the reward system that things start to go wrong. The next level is always around the corner, otherwise the player will lose interest. The thing is, leveling alone is not enough to make me want to play on, and it ruins so much in the constant focus on new loot and becoming 1% better every 15 minuites.
  3. That doesn't change my point though. Tabletop and PC are not the same experience. Having only melee units tends to deprive you of something. What did Napoleon say about artillery 'the real focus of the battle' or something.
  4. The spells are pretty lackluster. I can't really tell how much hp damage they do but often not enough to kill a single man in a unit. Shadow of the horned rat and the sequel, I can't remember the name, did this much better.
  5. I had the same experience. My HD series card died shortly after updating to Crimson. Pink lines and artifacting a few reboots and some more pink artifacting and, dead. Quite likely temperature related.
  6. It makes no sense to refer to different compendiums of warhammer that were all released 20 years ago as seperate from the game Imho. These are missing : I mean, who in their right mind would play 1e D&D
  7. Not limited as in too difficult, limiting as in not as interesting having to grind your way in every battle as opposed to having both good attack and defend options. Havent really given the Vampire faction a chance though.
  8. So I've played two campaigns. Imperial and Dwarf. Played until it became obvious that I would beat it and then called it a win. As Dwarf I felt like I wasn't allowed to play the game but was relegated to only fighting orks since I can't capture settlements. Mayjor disappointment. They let the lore overshadow the strategic experience. The empire experience was a little better. A few things : Enemy agent actions are too anoying, make them succeed a lot less and the consequences be more serious when they do. One of my generals was being sent home wounded every turn. The chaos invasion that was foreshadowed three or four times with cutscenes and everything. I got to fight chaos once or twice then I had just somehow won. Apparently one of my allies beat the chaos lord's avatar ?. Never got to fight chaos as dwarves. Started to play as Vampire counts but then I noticed they had no missile troops and though that's going to be too limiting. Dumb choice, I had high hopes for that campaign.
  9. Bloodlines was so awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn-O1HmlvgI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSFtnVGSY00
  10. Mother****ing ****sucking Deadwood. And he was just there to set up the hound to feud with the brotherhood.
  11. He's a smart guy, You can watch this just to hear his side of the EU debt restructuring story.
  12. I would not say that, that link to their 'wiki' is totally useless, Paradox done it much better The in game wiki is pretty useless. Loads too slow and the information is poorly presented. I can't see all the pertinent details without scrolling.
  13. I\m starting to understand that the reason I keep losing my campaigns (hard or very hard) There is not really a substitute for upgrading all your cities in a province. I would chase after raiders and invaders with my big stack with my best general and rarely ever catch up. You can't use the terrain to block off access either, maybe the engagement range is increased for ambush mode ? many races can use the underway or boats to get to their objective so it becomes impossible to engage without being the attacker, and that's a real challenge depending on your difficulty. The crucial first step is engaging your enemies provinces that aren't your own, so you can have a resource base that isn't constantly being raided.
  14. Are there siege defences, maybe there are and my walls have just invariably been destroyed by eneny agents whenever that was supposed to have happened.
  15. I doubt very much that a 'better deal' will emerge from trade negotiations. Once the UK leaves they can re enter the common market on their own terms, like Sweden and Iceland for instance. There is no indication that this would better her situation or make up for the losses of leaving. It's populism pure and simple. The unpopularity of the enormous bureaucracy, the refugee crisis, the sense that jobs are being lost because 'foreigners' who are more attractive to employers are being hired in a number of industries. They might manage to elect Boris Johnson PM but we are all going to lose on the deal. If it were a pressing matter of principle why haven't they left 10 years ago.
  16. We are still wheeling from an economic recession, weak growth everywhere. A paltry 1% in Denmark last year and the English want their freedom. Can't have that, too costly. The scaremongers have oversold their point, lets just hope people understand that there actually IS a point and a serious cost to just picking up and leaving.
  17. The battlemaps seem a little small compared with Total war. I havent played any sieges yet but those had fleets and infrantry converging. I'm expecting the same. So far the setup seems to be engage immediately, no attempt to make use of terrain during deployment. No terrain to speak of at all actually other than 'the high ground' but it's early days. I'm expecting objectives and maneuvering, buildings that can be occupied. Weak selection of units. This being warhammer and all we want hundreds rather than 10 or so once everything has been upgraded. The models are so so. The orcs in particular are ugly. Ugly as in bad design, not really their fault, there are a lot of bad waaarg models. I just feel they could have looked at the huge potential from the model painting scene and picked better ones for reference.
  18. Looks very warhammerish. I assume there is city and region management like in Rome TW once the tutorial releases its clammy hands off my units and choices.
  19. ohh allright I'll bite. Installing now. I've gotten very little mileage out of my game purchases lately, hoping for a better outcome.
  20. Is this both the warhammer and total war game we have been wanting ?
  21. Theres a fallout DLC out in 2 days. A propper one this time with a new area. Point Lookout part two by the looks of it. Not so sure sure about any of of them. Bethesda seems to have lost their Fallout mojo. Can't put my finger on it exactly but I don't think I will be installing it again.
  22. It's supposed to be a lot better now than the early oculus SDK, but yeah one should definitely try one out before thinking about getting one. As for the mainstream breakthrough. I dunno, still waiting for the AAA VR titles. We kinda needed someone to come up with a handful of killer apps that would drive adaption. So far it hasn't happened.
  23. I'll play it when it's done, whenever that is. I've had enough early access to last me a lifetime.
  24. Too expensive for me so far, says the man who just spent 1200 bucks on an Ipad.
  25. Kick his seperatist ass
