Melusina Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Smoke and Sacrifice - I liked Flame in the Flood and this was bundled with it and I though it may be as good as Flame in the Flood - wrong. I bought it on steam and considering returning it, but maybe I should keep it in case it turns great later in my life? It's not really bad, just played very shortly...

SonicMage117 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 As if Horozon: Zero Dawn wasn't already a steal at $9.99 usd... Just got God Of War (PS4) for $17.99. Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now. Waiting pretty much pays fir itself Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone!

Ezekiel7890 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 the last game I bought is Red Dead Redemption 2. I have not started playing it yet but apparently it's one of the best games of this year. There are only positive reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Steam sale got me this time. --Psycho-Pass Mandatory Happiness - been waiting for this VN to go on sale. $15 is a lot better than $30 so ok. --Jurassic World Evolution "Deluxe" (get 5 extra dinos, cheaper than buying separately). $22 was acceptable, considering I mostly want it for Ansel goofing and don't expect to seriously play it all that long. The Dr Wu DLC wasn't on sale so I skipped it. “Things are as they are.

SonicMage117 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Jurassic World Evolution looks worth the money just for the insane detailon the character models and animations alone. As a massed JP fan, I only chose not to because I'm not a park building type of person - well not since my Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 days at least. Just what do you think you're doing?!

Blarghagh Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 As a resident Jurassic Park obsessive fan, I've got over 220 hours in JWE so far and I still can't recommend it for that price. LC, you can download save files and player files from Nexus mods if you're tired of having to unlock everything. For some reason in the sandbox mode you can only use things unlocked in the campaign.

I was thinking about it, dang I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

Blarghagh Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Eh. It looks gorgeous, but that's all it's really got going for it. The gameplay is repetitive and gets irritating and there's very few options to customize your parks, so they all start to get samey really soon. The campaign devolves into waiting for timers after a while, almost like a mobile game. I mostly got my hours by looking at pretty dinosaurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Graphics is the main reason for JWE for sure, imo. Realized PS4 was having a sale too. I still have trouble finding anything for PS4, because most aren't my "thing" or are PC-available, or they're only a PSN version and I don't want to stream play video games. PS4 Diablo3 everything-bundle was $20 vs. $60. Not my favorite arpg at all, but never bought any expansions on PC (no plans to either). When I don't want to sit in a deskchair for Grim Dawn I'll try console D3 a bit instead. For 20 bucks I won't mind even if l become annoyed and (figuratively) toss it out the window once more.

Some comments said it had features that "should have been in the game originally" so it improves it a bit, but that it was priced too high. “Things are as they are.

Blarghagh Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I did, yes. It adds some gene mods for dinosaurs that allow for more social animals, but most of the stuff they refer to (i.e. herding behaviour) is actually free with the update. The DLC came out tuesday, hence no sale on that. I enjoyed the DLC myself, because Dr. Wu is a moustache-twirling villain. His new missions mostly came down to 'make a peaceful herd of herbivores... Good, now dump some raptors in there to see what happens'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katphood Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 This is weird, I thought LadyCrimson only played Final Fantasy XV and Borderlands 2. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marelooke Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Didn't get any games, per se, but I grabbed some DLC on sale: Prey: Mooncrash (finally cheap enough that I'm willing to get it) XCOM2 War of the Chosen (and tactical legacy pack, came as a bundle, no idea what that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heijoushin Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I bought Frostpunk during the Black Friday sale. I must say, it's been awhile since I've seen a game that's quite so beautiful to look at. I love seeing how that field of pure white snow morphs into a town that's reminiscent of FF7's Midgar (due to the reactor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious piece of advice, don't try to research everything on the research tree. Focus on the essentials, construction, resources and food, you only need one technology for each. Heating is vital, specially once the temperature starts to drop.

melkathi Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 - The Dwarves: Deluxe Edition I read the first two books and the game follows the first one very closely. Of course you miss out on the chapters the protagonist isn't present for, but the rest is done right. The little extra side quest that the author wrote just for the game as a bonus also was a welcome addition for fans. I like the horde combat. But the game could have benefited from more game. Still, more game would have stretched the content beyond the book's action and that would have impacted the authenticity. So overall a good short title. 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
