    Battle Brothers

    I'm going to wait for the expansion to hit in 2 weeks. Then I'll dump some more hours into it. I love this game.

    Battle Brothers

    Resurrecting this thread to point out that there's an expansion coming out for this in a couple of weeks. I really liked this game a lot. Feels to me like it's made to be played on iron man. Can't recommend it enough. Lots of fun building up my mercenary company just to watch all unravel...

    Path of Exile

    I'm really excited for this league. My only complaints in POE had to do with Masters and their hideouts. This is exactly what I would have hoped they would do with the new system. Definitely my favorite ARPG of all time.

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    I haven't played No Man's Sky, but that is the the basic idea of what I'm thinking about. The devil is in the details though, so the success is dependent on the quality of the implementation. Ultimately I think you give up the uniqueness in favor of variety and quantity, which should yield...

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    You know, I think the procedural thing might be exactly what the industry needs if it can be done well. A lot of the early games featuring procedural content really felt terrible, but I think the teams and tech are sophisticated enough now to make this work with a real budget. In fact, it could...

    God of War (2018)

    Spiderman is a great game. I liked HZD, but never could finish it. Tried twice, but lost motivation about halfway through each time. i think Dandai's point about getting distracted from the main story by side objectives may be my problem. I really enjoyed the story, but the side quests started...

    God of War (2018)

    In my mind God of War and Witcher 3 are the best games of this generation so far. I expect RDR 2 to be better than both, but until next week those are my favorites. Spider Man is great, I really like it, but God of War is significantly better in my opinion.

    Warframe

    You'll need platinum to buy slots for additional warframes and weapons. I also tend to use it to purchase the orokin catalyts (I think that's what they are) for doubling mod capacity for war frames I really like. All of these things are pretty cheap at like 10-20 plat per item or slot.

    Yeah, I can't imagine that Tencent would overlook that possibility when structuring the deal.

    Path of Exile

    I've also only purchased stash tabs, but I was OK with it because I've spent a grand total of $60 on the game over the years and put in over 500 hours. It was totally reasonable to give them $60. I don't think the tencent acquisition changes anything for me yet. I'll wait and see how it shakes...

    Thanks Vorph

    Path of Exile

    Thanks. I move pretty slow honestly. i don't care about rushing maps or rushing anything. I'm really looking for a build that I can take all the way through, so I'd like something that can kill the bosses, even if it's not efficient. I've looked at Mathil's builds before and they are great, but...

    Path of Exile

    Any suggestions on a good SSF starter build for this league? I've played both Cyclone and Flameburst totems in the past and really liked both. I tried a necromancer last time and found it to be boring though. I've been thinking about both Essence Drain and Scorching Ray, but am open to...

    Stellaris

    Thanks guys. I definitely noticed the reviews for the lack of a chinese localization too. I was just interested in the opinions of the folks here. This helps a lot. I may hold off a while to see if they wind up making some additional changes that smooth things over before purchasing.

    Stellaris

    So I've had this on my wish list for a long time and it's on sale this weekend on Steam. Lots of negative reviews related to the 2.0 patch now though, so I'm wondering what you guys think. I tend to really enjoy Paradox grand strategy games like CK and EU. Is this still a buy, or did they screw...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I just started a character on NA PC. We'll see how long I stick with it. Going to be super casual most likely. Playing a Redguard Nightblade. I think I'm level 8.

    Monster Hunter: World

    That's good information. I'll work on the events this weekend then I guess. I won't be able to access the highest level ones because my HR is still locked, but I think I can get to all but 4 of them. i may have to give HBG a try too at some point.

    Monster Hunter: World

    I've been playing this solo for a while now, but slowly. I like it a lot, but I should probably start grouping up to keep it interesting. Currently HR 13 and need to do the Nergigante quest next in the story line. I do have a couple of questions for those of you who have been playing a little...

    Gaming addiction to be added to DSM!?

    Ok, I kind of figured at some point we would come back to whatever is going on in your life as an example for why this line of thinking is reasonable. There are a couple of issues here: First, I don't know your situation, but I would support my tax dollars giving you a hand to get your life in...

    Gaming addiction to be added to DSM!?

    Is it worth pointing out that the very definition of "needing help" means it's not something you can do on your own? I mean, I get that your point is that they should pay for it themselves, and that some people probably can do that, but I'm always amazed at the fervor that accompanies this line...

    Gaming addiction to be added to DSM!?

    I'm pretty financially conservative, but I would gladly accept an increase in my insurance rates if I thought it would get people with addiction problems the help they need to get back on a productive path. Before you attribute this solely to my good nature, let me point out that the cost to tax...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I just can't imagine this being successful for more than a few months unless they do it as a progression server (in which case I think it would be wildly successful). One of my biggest problems with WoW is that the release of content was always too slow to keep me playing from one content patch...

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

    Yeah, I get that, but the EE adds no new content. Any changes they made are more engine and tool set related, so I don't see how any SJW nonsense could be introduced. if they release new modules I would definitely wait to see the community's review of them before purchasing them. Tile sets and...

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

    I understand the skepticism regarding custom content, but I think it depends what form it takes. It hasn't all been modules. They've talked about tile sets, customization to allow easier access to additional races and classes. Anything that expands the toolkit available to the community would be...

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

    Just wanted to say I picked this up over the weekend. Beamdog is doing an early access thing that they are calling a "head start". At this point I'm just playing through official stuff again, but it seems to work great so far. The first NWN was always one of my favorite games, so I'm definitely...

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

    I loved NWN. If the enhanced edition will allow me to use the old community created content too then I am probably in. If it will only allow access to the official content then never mind.

    Pen & Paper/Traditional RPGs

    Thanks Hatorade. Is that a FG discord channel or a D&D discord channel? One last question for you, since you seem to be very knowledgeable about FG. Would you recommend that I pick up a hard copy of the PHB, or is the version on FG sufficient? I took some time to do some research last night and...

    Pen & Paper/Traditional RPGs

    Thanks for the suggestions. One of the things I found appealing about Roll20 was the built in interface to find a group. Are there easy tools to find a group in FG?

    Pen & Paper/Traditional RPGs

    So, I'm thinking about getting back into tabletop RPGs after like 20 years of being out of it. Last time I really played AD&D 2nd edition was the current system. I'm considering trying to get into it through Roll20 as opposed to trying to find a game at my local shop. Does anyone have feedback...

    The benefits of Steam Recent Review "Justice"

    I don't know, I tend to avoid attributing to malice what can be adequately explained by laziness or stupidity. I think it's far more likely that they just aren't being methodical in making sure they price every sku appropriately. Your point that it's retarded still stands though.

    The benefits of Steam Recent Review "Justice"

    I would never underestimate the ability for Ubisoft to do something stupid, so who knows what's up with the AC pricing.

    The benefits of Steam Recent Review "Justice"

    Steam is slow as shit right now too. In some cases the sale prices aren't showing when loading and when it does it may show the sale price for some titles and not others (like DLC but not the base game or vice versa). It'll probably stabilize in a couple of hours or so.

    The benefits of Steam Recent Review "Justice"

    Depends on the game I guess. I've been waiting for Total War Warhammer to go on sale and they have the base game on sale for 66% off and the DLC for 33% off. I'm picking that up for sure, but I'm also considering picking up Sunless Sea, Everspace, Salt and Sanctuary, and Starpoint Gemini...

    The benefits of Steam Recent Review "Justice"

    I hear you Ut. I'm not arguing that I like the pricing strategy. I'll keep buying them as long as the quality stays as high as it's been though. I always put hundreds of hours into these games. Keep in mind that the time line is a bit different between a game like CK2 and W3 though. For one...

    The benefits of Steam Recent Review "Justice"

    I understand the angst over Paradox's DLC approach, but there's no way I'm boycotting them. I love their grand strategy games too much to go without. If that's the price I have to pay to play a game like CK2 then I guess I'm going to pay it. It's so much better now than it was at release too. i...

    The Witcher

    Amazon may have a bunch of less than stellar programming, but "Man in the High Castle" makes up for all of it in my opinion. Currently one of my favorite shows.

    Bloodborne

    I don't think he's saying multiplayer games are easier in general, just that, the way multiplayer is implemented in the souls series, makes it easier than single player.

    Rust

    I started playing this last week and I'm completely sucked in now. I haven't spent this much time on a game in ages. There's lots of little things that irritate me, but overall I enjoy what's there immensely. I am playing with a buddy of mine and I doubt I would be enjoying it this much if I...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I'm going to throw my hat in the ring again for a beta key too. Wasn't interested in the weekend stress test keys because I had a lot to deal with at work at the time, but I'd really like the chance to see this game in action. I loved vanilla WoW and Wrath as well. Hated Pandas and Cata. Not...
