We're at least 5 people, as I've met as many. Don't know 'bout the rest of you though..

I'm inclined to agree, they never really transitioned particularly well into the 'open map' games, or rather they made good games - but lost what actually made their AI work. Yep stil dysfunctional - have you tried Divide et Impera for Rome 2? They did a rather big update recently - there's now a working population mechanic and the AI is a lot better. Still TW retarded at times though.

Yeah, but can we blame them? Their last few historical titles were very underwhelming and were unable to recapture the scope and quality of their older titles - but they've gotten universal praise for their Warhammer game, bringing in new customers in droves, who are actually loving their current approach, as opposed to their older fans Well save fort the DLC policy, but still. It makes we wonder what their move post Warhammer will be though. Return to historical games or a soft compromise, beginning to incorporate fantasy elements. To keep the Warhammer crowd.

Thread pruned - It is fair to discuss piracy as a phenomenon, but we cannot allow advocating pirating the games that keep these sites and the developers in business. Anyone who advocates piracy will find their account placed on moderated review.

Which I'm guessing belongs to Barik, judging by the design.

I was thinking the exact same thing throughout that trailer - it would be awesome if you actually had the choice to thwart the rebellion from the inside. Of course epic design flaw that machines have that level of independence and critical thinking.

Hmm that might persuade me to give it a second chance.

Looks like we get to Play as Megan Foster in the standalone Dishonored 2 addon game? Or 'Billy'? With the missing eye and hand I assumed that was her.. I'd be interested in that. And Bethesda wants to reintroduce Paid Mods with their new "Creation Club" - Hope it goes as well as last time.

Education is the only thing that's going to save our species - so I'd rather have the process of learning, and expanding of horizons, to be as 'fun' and as it is 'painful'.. And have as many with a higher degree as possible. No one learns or reacts to learning in the same way, some need more pain and challenge to let go of harmful misconceptions and illusion, while some need more encouragement and incentive to break away from lethargic habits and stagnation.

Yeah I had the exact same feeling, I progressed about half way through it and never really picked it up again - it just felt like all the elements of the game kinda came together 'wrong'. In many ways the strategic depth of the first game got lost in all the actions and tempo. There were so many timed events, that I never really felt like I had a chance to utilize level designs. Of course that made sense given the pressure on the organization, but it really killed the fun for me.

Very reminiscent of the ol' IO interactive game Kane and Lynch - similar theme and all. Just looks much better executed. Definitely keeping an eye on that title.

Post moved - and let's stay on topic of 'what we're playing' and not 'what hardware we might want to buy'

Oh I already own it and all the expansions - 'some more' as in returning to it. I usually give Paradox titles a few months/years to mature after launch.

Woah - time for a new thread here as well.

Old news here. Extra extra - read all about it! What's new on the scene of gaming? Last couple of posts

Looks like this installment has run it's course - let's keep the animosities in this thread and not take them to the new one.

Old thread here. Right now I'm browsing for a new game to play - thinking about trying Prey (looks very Half-Life, System/Bioshock inspired) - or maybe some more Stellaris.

And only because a PC cipher can skip going to Hadret House in Eders quest and do it themselves. Giving them a few more dialouge options for their class. But yeah I think the Orlan Cipher gets the most - makes sense, new race and class - so that might've been their default character in testing.

The trick Mr Gifted1, is not minding that it hurts.

Amplitude games are usually better after the first expansion, but yeah quite tempted too. They're not like Stellaris though, more like the Civ series. Streamlined and focused on gameplay replyability.. good games, with a very fleshed out universe.

Did you turn 30 recently? I swear, you're getting more cynical by the hour

Yeah, they're going crazy here too Spring turning into to summer lovely time..

Here s13eps thoughts, musing and dissertations are collected, for all to see and discuss.

Probably 'cause we're old enough to know, there's always a catch...
