    Titanfall 2

    Not sure why they would release this near BF1. Dumb decision. Anyway, very different games: + BF1: slow, many players, anemic guns + TF2: fast action, fewer players, AI bots, pretty much every gun is viable

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    This killed D1 for me. Why??? E3 2017: Bungie Confirms Destiny 2 Is 30FPS on Xbox One X - IGN Your choice is 30FPS on console on hackers on PC. :(:eek:

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    Welp, finished it after 86 hours with 1 aborted party maybe 6 hours in. Thoughts: + base game mechanics, combat, graphics, world building are all fricking awesome + the log SUCKS, way too little info, near useless for many quests + many of the puzzles are just way too abstract - instant Google...

    Better Call Saul

    Haven't posted at all in this thread. But been watching this since the start. Nice slow burn show. Really well done in every way.

    The Handmaid's Tale

    Just started this with the gf. Both really digging it. Never heard of the books but Margaret Atwood must be one kinky bitch. The morality lessons have all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, but as Juvarisx said above it is beautifully shot, sets, and costumes are great. The "sex" scenes are...

    Camelot Unchained

    I could live with the dated world graphics. But holy shit everyone has 7 health/mana bars? Imagine a raid healer interface.:eek:

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Yeah, this game is gonna have to be played on PC. I did Witcher 3 on Xbox One and kinda regret that I did when looking at the PC videos. In my defense, never played a Witcher game before and no idea how epic it would be.

    Wonder Woman (2017)

    Feminists are pissed because Wonder Woman is "fat shaming" by product promotion of protein bars. :smuggly:

    Battletech

    Terrain, LOS, movement, cover, knockdown, melee, jumping, initiative, delaying turns, and mech warrior special abilities are all equally important. There's a lot of cool electronic warfare abilities. Sensor lock seems mandatory if you want to reliably hit sprinting targets. Indirect fire and...

    Battletech

    I'm in beta. So far seems like combat is like X-com, but with mechs, but more complex combat system. Combat system is actually quite a bit deeper than the PNP board game (at least the version I played a long time ago). These vids should give you a good idea. There's always a bit of luck...

    This would have been better done as a Netflix series.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Same here. I dropped the ball on not Kickstarting this. These games are an homage to Baldur's Gate and Ultima 7. Only thing I'm looking more forward to in the near future is BattleTech.

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    Turns out Telekinesis is the most OP skill. TLDR: if you Telekinesis a chest onto a victim they take 1 damage per pound the chest weighs. With Telekinesis 6 you can throw a 4000 pound chest 20 meters for 2 AP...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    I'm late to the party on this, but holy shit great game. Been staying up waaaay to late. Just finishing up the first area. Enjoying this more than Pillars of Eternity or Torment. Both great games but this is so unique in many ways. It reminds me a lot of Ultima 7 but with actual good tactical...

    Eight Values

    Pretty sure their definition of Liberalism something like Classic Liberalism - Adam Smith, John Locke, etc.. Classical liberalism - Wikipedia Google Political Compass and there are many attempts to map the political spectrum on Social and Economic axes.

    Buddy and I continuing our Bretonnia and Empire Grand Campaign. We just coordinated to wipe out the Vampires. Chaos is just now showing up. Cannot overemphasize how good this game is coop. Fielding two armies of 500 dudes each with siege equipment vs. a massive horde of Vampires is pretty...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Guess I'm late to the party on this, but holy shit awesome game. The Grand Campaign is surprisingly deep in terms of Diplomacy and stuff like that. Its like Civilization but with badass siege battles and way better lore. Currently doing a coop with a buddy where he is Bretonnia and I am Empire...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    Confirmed for: - not reboot or remake - Wachowskis not involved - Keanu not involved These are all good things. - Safe to say nobody wants Wachowskis anywhere near this shit after Matrix 3 and Jupiter Ass-ending. - Keanu not involved so no contrived plot to shoehorn Neo into it, thank God

    Planescape Torment Kickstarter: A spiritual sequel to be set in Monte Cook's Numenera

    ^ Uhh yeah, anyone who Kickstarted got this for $20 to $30 bucks. Game is a bit combat light, but totally worth it IMHO. Many reviews probably take that into account. First rule of Steam - never go full price. Also, load time complaints are console I assume? Because loads times are near...

    Heroes of the Storm

    I hit platinum in Quick Match. You can absolutely can carry your team as a high damage ranged hero like Sgt. Hammer, Azmodan, Nazeebo, etc. Queueing as a healer is probably not a good plan unless you are amazing. They don't impact the game as much in Bronze >> Silver >> Platinum as DPS. I don't...

    Planescape Torment Kickstarter: A spiritual sequel to be set in Monte Cook's Numenera

    I Kickstarted this for the cheapest tier. It's definitely like PS:Torment but with way less combat. Buy for sure if you like RPGs but wait until sale.

    Lords of Waterdeep still fulfills our worker placement quota fairly often. It's like Agricola but distilled down to the essence of gameplay, but with a way better setting (IMHO). Lords of Waterdeep | Board Game | BoardGameGeek Yeah, YMMV on what the best Scythe faction is depending on how...

    In the current top 10 on BGG: We regularly play Pandemic, Terra Mystica, and Scythe now. Did I mention Scythe has MECHS? Puerto Rico is old school classic that still hits the table occasionally. Love that game personally. 7 Wonders (the original) still gets played quite often. Great game for a...
