    Black Widow (2020)

    I thought this was quite alright. I laughed several times, I thought the banter between the sisters and father was entertaining, the fights were mostly good. Not so great was the mother who was very forgettable, and most of all taskmaster who was awful, shit on the source material, and served...

    Great 4x games?

    I played Old World a bunch and would consider it pretty good.

    Have they said if there will be character transfers to the Oceanic cluster?

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    What a great game.. finished the game and integrade on normal, farmed most of the random achievements.. started on hard mode now.. through the first 3 acts so far, pretty easy going.. i bet the airbender is going to be the first major hurdle.. we'll see!

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Will using my 7 year old character provide much of an advantage vs just rolling a brand new one?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I haven't played this since 2014 when I was vaguely endgame with decent stuff. Re-downloading it now. Anything in particular I should try to do to get current or shall I just wander aimlessly and follow quest markers?

    Loki

    The fight scenes were the worst. Absolutely dull.

    Humankind (Civ-style game from Amplitude Studios)

    Has anyone played Humankind in beta? How is it shaping up? I played Old World early access and it's quite good although has AI issues like every other game in this genre has.

    Star Wars: The Bad Batch

    Nice! I was hoping he would show up.. Was handled well I thought.

    Loki

    You should definitely complain on twitter that they are microaggressing you. Show is great fun so far, the two leads are wonderful together.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Picked this up for PS5.. and I am hooked.. Game is so much better than I expected it would be and I'm loving the new combat system. Feels like I have so much practice ahead of me to really get the most out of it.

    The E3 2021 Thread

    Big studios are not going to risk AAA tier funding on unproven ideas. We still get big name games which have some uniqueness to them, think H:ZD or Returnal, but they are just reskins of existing games/mechanics pretty much. There is still plenty of innovation and creativity in indie studios...

    The Outer Worlds

    It's worth playing IMO, especially since there is no OW2 release date, it's probably a couple of years off.

    Niiiiice!

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    They still don't have any gameplay. Chances of them actually hitting that release date with a decent product? Odds not good.

    The Netflix Thread

    Managed to sit through this today but it was not easy. Boring, extremely badly edited, chaotic and nonsensical.

    What are you playing?

    Have you tried other similar games like Satisfactory, Oxygen Not Included, Dyson Sphere program?

    Marvel's The Punisher

    Agreed, Apparently he was in the running for the job but I assume the producers wanted the GoT guy to bring some viewers across. Shame, he's an actual martial artist and that would have helped with the choreography problems.

    The Umbrella Academy

    They can just continue umbrella academy as if nothing has changed. Ellen Page wasn't the most feminine looking woman. Just put some makeup and maybe a wig and you won't be able to tell the difference. It's more whether Mr Page would be willing to do that.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    There's basically zero corona measures in Australia/Sydney. He definitely isn't violating them in his own house. And yeah border restrictions (like most rules/laws) don't apply to people with enough money.

    What did you just read?

    I found the second a lot harder to get in to because Gideon is a much more entertaining narrator than Harrow. Also I found Harrow confusing as fuck for the first 4 chapters or so, until I realised what the different perspectives were all about. Having said that even the second book was fantastic...

    Stellaris

    I do full kinetic weapons for corvettes and destroyers, maximum shields my power can support. Cruisers I might do full kinetic or hangers depending on my tech and mood. Battleships mostly tachyon lance+neutron launchers, with some hanger battleships mixed in, and a bunch of corvettes in the...

    Ah yeah I meant spiral type galaxy. edited my post.

    Stellaris

    Play 4 arm spiral galaxy type, that makes there be a lot more chokepoints. I think it might be worthwhile playing total war for a bunch of games, with high AI density on small-medium sized maps, on as high difficulty as you can stand. You will die and restart a bunch of times (at least that was...

    Victoria 3 - Paradox

    Yeah I get it, I just think it's a positive attribute and you don't. I mean my favourite game of the last few years is Oxygen Not Included, and the expansion Klei released for that late last year changed the base game even more than any paradox DLC, and I think it's wonderful. There are paradox...

    Right, thats great, but still far fewer than paradox has released in the same period.

    Victoria 3 - Paradox

    I don't think other companies do that. What company has released a new 4X game every 5 years? Stellaris is 5 years old and has been revamped so many times, it may as well have been new games. Since Stellaris they also released CK3 and Planetfall. In my opinion Paradox are one of the good ones.

    Victoria 3 - Paradox

    Funny, I think it's a great thing that paradox keeps refining games, releasing new content and changing things to keep them fresh and interesting. I just finished playing with the latest Stellaris and Surviving Mars DLCs, need to get on to AOW:Planetfall:Star Kings and the last few Cities...

    Wheel of Time

    "Tuon, tough? True, she was the Daughter of the Nine Moons and all of that, and she had been able to get under his skin with a look back in the Tarasin Palace, when he thought she was just another Seachan noblewoman with her nose in the air, but that was just because she kept turning up where...

    Stellaris

    Play become the crisis if you want to get insane fleets, being able to build ships faster, with minerals instead of alloy, and have them take almost no unkeep is nuts. You kind of don't even need to worry about fleet cap at that point but you can always just mass anchorages too. When you have...

    Warframe

    Almost all of the trials are pretty hard to fail if you try at all though, and even if you do it doesn't really matter. It doesn't hold you back at all unless you are specifically waiting to use an item that needs a specific MR right now!

    Love, Death & Robots

    Even though probably weaker than S1 as a whole it was still good. Santa episode, Pop Squad, Snow in the Desert all top tier. In fact the only really weak one I thought was Ice.

    Stellaris

    I didn't use become the crisis this time, I wanted to make it more of a challenge. That perk is far too strong and makes the game too easy when you're already playing a total war civ. And yeah that invasion of the awakened empire was very short and violent. My biggest challenge so far this game...

    Stellaris

    This is the most fleet power I've ever had. Time to invade the last awakened empire.

    Stellaris

    Just to put this to bed, I just tested and Gavin is right, it averages the fleet. Example, 1 battleship+1 corvette fleet is faster than a cruiser.
  38. sakkath

    Stellaris

    That could be the case too, and if so it must weight ships 1:1 which is why my fleets of 40 corvettes, 15 battleships and 1-2 titans move so fast, easily outspeeding enemy fleets that only have smaller ships in them.

    Stellaris

    From what I've noticed Grey Tempest mostly use strike craft. I love the L cluster, as Furry mentioned they tend to really fuck with the AIs while I'm invading the L Cluster. My current game I don't have any L-gates anywhere near me, some AI opened it and he seemed to hold them off fine but they...

    Stellaris

    My ravenous hive got this far through eating the galaxy when the Raltek Peacekeepers FE decided that I was a galactic menace (probably due to my liberal eating and neutron sweep usage), awoke and declared war So I decided to show them what being neutron sweeped felt like. I don't think they...
