Yeah, as I understand it, the horde factions tend to be more barebones and straightforward than the other factions, since they have no territory management or defense, and generally can field fewer armies. The campaigns for the others have more meat to them.

All the races? 2–4 years. And even if we get an all-in-one bundle, it'll probably be in the $150 range at minimum, and even that seems optimistic.

Just finished watching this...kinda. Get about an hour and a half into the movie, and suddenly the lights come on, the movie stops, and the theater manager is saying that their projector is fucking up and they need to stop the movie. So, yeah. Shit. Up until that point, I had mostly been...

I'm finally getting around to playing Pillars of Eternity. Still early in the game, but if nothing else it's fun being able to play a low-level wizard in a Baldur's Gate clone and actually being able to do magic shit in combat, rather than carefully nursing the one magic missile you get per day.

Been working my way through the Black Company books off and on, and I've been enjoying it. (Most of you have probably already read it, but I'll give my thoughts anyway.) It's got shades of Malazan to it, with the focus on (relatively) ordinary soldiers frequently dealing with shit much bigger...

Where other (single player) RPGs felt like I was being told a story, EQ felt like I was being dropped into a full fantasy world and being told to find my way. Granted, EQ was too much about the grind, so I can't fully blame other MMOs for trying to add more meaning and context for your actions...

Well, I'll give the new owners a chance to prove whether or not they're going to fuck shit up before jumping ship, but yeah, doesn't hurt to have a backup. Guess I'll get set up on rererolled (with the cycle of forums being what it is, I find myself wondering just how many "re"s the name will...

Assuming you're not playing on the higher difficulties, where diplomacy starts to get fucked up, the Empire's probably the easiest starting position. Once you take out the secessionists, you've generally got a nice buffer between you and all your "natural enemies", so you can make nice with all...

Trailer's just weird enough for your typical fantasy movie that I'll admit I'm intrigued. I'll wait for reviews, but eh, I'll probably end up seeing it.

The fat character's name is Etta Candy? Ate a Candy? They weren't even trying, were they?

Eh, at least they're toning down the grimdark.

Just finished watching the director's cut, and while it obviously doesn't do anything to fix the shit show that is Lex, it did produce a much more coherent, decent story. I might actually go so far as to call the director's cut a good movie. Not a great one, mind, but a good one.

I suppose when you consider that $20 is like half a box of Ungors in tabletop, paying that for the full faction in Total War feels a little better. But whatever; you get Beastmen as an NPC faction even if you don't own the DLC, so you only need to buy to actually play them. And I've still got...

And they've got the preorder up on Steam. http://store.steampowered.com/app/404012/ So yeah, playable Beastmen in the main campaign, as well as a mini story campaign that's Beastmen vs Middenland. For those who want the TL;DR on the mechanics: -horde faction like Chaos, with special...

Beastmen trailer dropped a day early. DLC will be going live on July 28. Shit looks good.

Not even 30 yet, but listening to a classic rock station and hearing a fucking Green Day song come on makes me feel pretty old.

This really is everywhere, isn't it? I was talking to my sister today (and to paint the picture, my sister's history with gaming boils down to playing farmville on Facebook, and playing a Barbie game on the Genesis when she was five) and she asks me if I've heard of Pokemon Go. She's apparently...

The next two FLC listed are an Empire hero (no mention of an additional unit, and so far no mention of a free special character for the Empire), and a new lore of magic. Assuming Beastmen are indeed coming as a paid DLC, the FLC are probably an Amber Wizard and the Lore of Beasts.

CA posted a little lore snippet/teaser on Facebook (link). The datamined files listed the Beastmen as the next DLC, and the teaser sounds fairly Beastmen-y, so we may be getting a new faction soonish.

All that, plus they really wanted a way to shoehorn Space Marines into Fantasy.

Honestly, we might not see even that. Even on boards with SJW tendencies, I'm seeing people essentially state that any claims to progressiveness this movie might make don't really mean shit when the movie's lookingthisbad. For all the mudslinging that's been going on on both sides about the...

The best thing is the Total War launcher having an ad that says something like, "you've played the game, now buy the models!" with a link to GW's site; I got a good long chuckle out of that. Yes, you've completed your Empire campaign, now's the time to start collecting your Sigmarines army.

I'm enjoying it; and it's nice to have a version of Warhammer that doesn't require $300 to get into. And which hasn't been discontinued.

Apparently they do that so they can skirt an M rating, which they would get it if they included it in the base game or added it in for free. By making it DLC they can keep the T rating and just stick a disclaimer on the DLC description. Why do they care so much about avoiding an M rating? The...

Oh yeah, next major patch is going in tomorrow. Bunch of fixes, and Vamps are getting blood knights as a free DLC. Link

The OP used "meme's" as a plural no less that three times, that by itself is enough to make that thread unbearably cringeworthy. The actual memes are just icing on the cake.

Just to temper that a bit, one of the devs posted on their forums saying that, while those datamined files are legit, they're also relatively old, and don't reflect their current plans. So don't expect things to go down exactly like those file names suggest.

In that case I fall back on my backup prediction: this game will set it up so that Kratos dies or retires or whatever at the end and the (likely inevitable) sequel will star his son. You just know this game will end on an RDR-style note with grown-up Kratosson standing over his father's grave...

They are showing Zelda right now. Voice acting, in a Zelda game. Isn't that one of the signs of the End Times? And jumping. What madness is this?

FF XV VR that has you playing the gun-toting party member.

I'm calling it now, something happens to Kratos at the end of the prologue, then we have a time skip and play as grown-up Kratosson for the rest of the game. Failing that, this game serves to set that scenario up for the sequel. Just a gut feeling I have.

Well, this was a nice clean win on Sony's part.

Oh, there's the zombies.

Damn dude, I'd discounted that rumor because I didn't buy Spider-Man showing up as a PS4 exclusive. Shows what I know.

Oh shit, spider man?

Neat. Weird as fuck, but neat.

Knew it.

They're bringing back Crash.

Shit dude, are we still on VR? They're goin all out on this.

But can you still roundhouse kick zombies, or destroy them with sweet suplexes?
