Blarghagh Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Shady's mobile auto corrected Deadfire into Yoga Fire. It's so awesome it stuck. xD 1

Katphood Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 That Street Fighter Anniversary Collection can't arrive soon enough. 1 There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
Amentep Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Yeah its on my mind too. Far too many days spent in the arcades with it. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Gorth Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Maybe it's my imagination, but there seems to be a big "gap" in difficulty in Age of Empires II between Standard and Moderate difficulty. A single AI enemy wiped the floor with the two of us teaming up against it Edit: We could take on two AI's on standard (we actually lost, but it was a closely contested fight, bastard AI had nicked all the relics, which is a winning condition) “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Bartimaeus Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Yeah, moderate and above, IIRC, is the "full" version of the AI - it doesn't become any smarter after that (anything harder just cheats and gets free resources), and it loves mass producing and micro-ing units like crazy, and it can be difficult to keep up with. I played the HD version a couple years ago, and I could beat two moderates at once, but it was utterly exhausting because of just the seemingly endless lengths the AI would go to constantly build more crap and make more units (at a speed not really possible by humans except perhaps the most micro-skilled, since the AI can control so many units and builders at once) to make stomping them out as annoying as possible.

For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
Gorth Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Iirc you can freely pause the game in single player mode? While you can do that in multiplayer mode, we don't, rather just let the game run at fast speed and then take the punch on the nose it gives “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Bartimaeus Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Yeah, I think so. My strategy was pretty much always have a massive amount of horse archers on one of the handful of civs that get good ones (e.g. Huns, Mongolians, Persians, Saracens, Spanish, Turks) and just constantly issue "false"/half moves to avoid incoming projectiles while shooting in between and guarding ye' olde trebuchets. A hell of a lot of clicking, though. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

LadyCrimson Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Finally finished main storyline of FFXV/PC. The last fight I purposely delayed winning because the villain kept making me laugh every time I paused the game (faces, poses)...one had to be there, so to speak. I could finally record the end-credits with my photos (on console it's always disallowed to ps4-record because of the song - pc, that doesn't apply, pfft). Familiar enough with the game and what it likes to choose, that the photos part came out almost perfect. Yay! That was a fun 2.5 month ride. Haven't done a complete story playthru of it since July last year I think, plus PC edition/Ansel/sharing photos (I had a pic blog elsewhere) made it feel almost special again. Now I can relax and do the post-game and rest of dlc (eg, a complete file) whenever/whatever. Still love this game. And Iggy is still bae. 1 “Things are as they are.

Gorgon Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Stellaris with the new DLC Is this something. I mean i like those kinds of games, but not so much the AoE/Civ type. More into Rome/Sins of a Solar Empire stuff, more battle and strategy orientated. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Skazz Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 If you want to get into Stellaris DLCs, you should definitely get Utopia and Apocalypse. The rest is far less essential.

It's a bit of an older thing, but out of curiosity: how do you feel about enforced hyperlane drives? The ability to reinforce chokepoints and defend your territory even if you don't want to invest into ships plus the general reliance on tactics (or patience I guess) to break through defenses is something I vastly prefer to the wack-a-mole nature of hyperdrives and wormholes. Sure, I also regularly get screwed over - minimal territory when I want a wide empire and vast expanses of resource rich territory when the plan is to build tall, but I'm the kind of person who rolls with it. 4 Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget!
